Things had reached this point.
Jiang Jiajia reluctantly agreed.
Though she wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of what was expected.
Still, having promised Xu Mo, she was determined to follow through.
Next, Xu Mo dialed a phone number.
After briefing the person in charge on the other end,
he passed the number to Jiang Jiajia.
Xu Mo spent a few minutes explaining the situation.
Jiang Jiajia glanced at the phone number she had just saved and couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
"Boss Xu, you’re still trying to push me into entrepreneurship, aren’t you?"
Xu Mo corrected her: "It's 'General Manager Consultant.' Consider this a side gig."
Jiang Jiajia gave him a look that clearly said, Yeah, right.
Xu Mo’s words were as reliable as a ghost’s promise.
Who even was this supposed general manager?
How could there be a "consultant" role when the position itself was unclear?
And even if she did find out who the general manager was…
Xu Mo was granting her authority that surpassed even theirs!
To put it simply:
The entire company would operate at Jiang Jiajia’s word alone.
Even the board of—oh, right, there was a board.
Suddenly struck by a thought, Jiang Jiajia asked reflexively:
"How many shareholders are there?"
Xu Mo gave her an odd look. "That little Dingsheng Finance startup? I founded it myself recently—100% equity, no other shareholders."
"Oh… I see." Jiang Jiajia blinked, finally understanding.
She got it.
Her boss’s mindset.
Xu Corporation was simply too massive.
It was filled with talent, both domestic and international.
Even without Jiang Jiajia, there would be Li Jiajia, Bai Jiajia, Huang Jiajia—someone would always step up to solve Xu Mo’s problems.
So Xu Mo wanted to stretch his wings.
To act boldly, without restraint.
But with no room to prove himself,
it just wasn’t fulfilling.
Any achievements he made under Xu Corporation’s umbrella
would be met with dismissive whispers.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, even a pig could fly.
With that kind of backing, anyone could do it.
Sour, envious words like that.
But a company built from the ground up?
That was a different story.
The more Jiang Jiajia thought about it, the brighter her eyes shone!
Her Boss Xu wasn’t planning to coast anymore!
He was aiming for something big!!!!
Compared to the Xu family’s empire, it might be insignificant.
But it was still progress!!!!
At this moment, Jiang Jiajia felt a surge of excitement.
The way she looked at Xu Mo had completely changed.
Boss Xu has—grown up!!!
A whirlwind of thoughts raced through Jiang Jiajia’s mind.
Whether it moved anyone else was unclear,
but she was certainly moved.
If Xu Mo wanted to play Liu Bei,
then she would be his Zhuge Liang!
Unaware of Jiang Jiajia’s inner monologue, Xu Mo simply smiled and patted her shoulder.
"I’ve got high hopes for you!"
"Do well, and as a reward—50% of the company’s shares will be yours."
"Don’t even think about refusing. You’ve earned it. This is proportional to what you’ll put in."
Jiang Jiajia opened her mouth,
but her throat seemed to tighten,
leaving her words trapped inside.
After a long pause,
she raised an eyebrow, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Boss Xu… what was Dingsheng Finance’s initial registered capital?"
No particular reason.
Just curiosity.
Even if Xu Mo didn’t tell her,
she’d find out once she took over.
But asking him now
would at least prepare her mentally.
Xu Mo thought for a moment. "Not much. Just 100 million."
"…What."
Jiang Jiajia’s lips parted into a perfect "O."
That’s “not much”?!
Hey, everyone, come take a look!
Is this even human speech?!
How can words like this come out of your mouth!!!
…Oh. Right.
He was Xu Mo, CEO of Xu Corporation.
The young master of Magic City.
The nation’s heartthrob.
Never mind.
My mistake.
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
Some are born in Rome.
Others are born as the donkey pulling the cart.
How could you even compare?
"That’s my hard-saved car money, you know."
"You’d better manage the company well—whether I get a new car in the next few years depends on you."
Xu Mo’s expression was dead serious.
He sounded completely genuine.
Anyone who didn’t know him
might actually believe he was staking his entire fortune on this.
"Jiajia will not fail Boss Xu’s expectations!"
The two locked eyes.
After a long moment,
Xu Mo finally teased:
"Jiajia, you’re being cheeky again."
"Pfft—! Boss Xu, I’ll head out first!"
Sticking out her tongue playfully like a little girl,
Jiang Jiajia hurried out in a rapid click-clack of heels.
Her heart was pounding so hard,
as if staying even a second longer
might make her lose control.
Xu Mo was already dangerously handsome—
lethal to all genders, deadly to all ages!
But for some reason, after getting married,
he’d become even more magnetic.
Jiang Jiajia was terrified she’d slip—
from Zhuge Liang to a female Cao Cao.
One night,
she might wrap an arm around Xu Mo’s shoulders,
glance coolly at Madam Zhou Qiaoqiao,
and declare:
"Your husband is my concern now—no need to worry!"
That would be too intense.
No—
too shameful.
The mental image was too vivid.
Jiang Jiajia didn’t dare think further.
Bang—
The door closed behind her.
In the office,
only Xu Mo remained.
After a moment,
he chuckled.
"My assistant’s reactions are always so entertaining."
Sending Jiang Jiajia to Dingsheng Finance,
the company he’d founded himself,
was a gift for her.
In both this life and the last,
she had worked tirelessly for him,
letting him play the hands-off boss for over a decade.
She deserved this.
Even without her direct involvement,
Xu Mo had already laid out the roadmap.
If she followed it,
within five years,
Dingsheng Finance’s valuation would start at 5 billion!!!
And that was without leveraging any connections!
As someone who had returned from the future,
with foreknowledge and capital,
he could afford to be this brazen.
Imagine going back twenty years.
Property prices hadn’t skyrocketed yet.
With just 100,000 in disposable cash,
you could soar effortlessly.
Back then, city-center housing cost just a few hundred per square meter.
Buy up a few properties,
and boom—instant billionaire.
Making money was that simple.
And utterly mundane.
Xu Mo glanced at his wristwatch.
It was almost noon.
"Time for lunch. Where should I eat today?"
