As Ye Xin watched Lin Qian's departing figure, a faint smile graced his lips, paying little heed to her presence.
Yang Qiang, however, expressed some bewilderment. "I never expected Lin Qian to be working here. Won't we be subject to her ridicule every day from now on?"
Ye Xin, slightly taken aback, responded with a faint smile. "Just ignore her. Besides... who knows who will end up humiliating whom."
As for the arrangements regarding Yang Qiang's position and salary, he had already discussed everything with He g**g. Yang Qiang's position would be the recently vacated role of Director of Human Resources.
Of course, he wouldn't need to do anything. Just lounging around would suffice.
"Are we here to work as security guards?" Yang Qiang inquired once more.
Scratching his head, Ye Xin replied, "I'm not sure. Let's see what they have planned after we enter."
With Yang Qiang somewhat skeptical, the two entered through the gates and made their way upstairs. Soon enough, they reached the sixth floor, standing before a door labeled "Office of the General Manager."
"I'll go in," Yang Qiang said, his voice trembling. "What exactly are we here for? Does the General Manager need to see us personally? Is this an interview?"
"Just treat it like one," Ye Xin chuckled. "Don't be too nervous. Oh, and did you bring the salary card and ID I asked you to?"
"I... brought them," Yang Qiang nodded, his speech starting to tremble.
"Then let's go in," Ye Xin said.
"Aren't you coming in?" Yang Qiang grew more nervous.
Smiling, Ye Xin replied, "No need for me. Don't worry, the General Manager is quite approachable."
"Oh..." Yang Qiang exhaled, feeling somewhat relieved, then nervously knocked on the door.
"Come in!" came He g**g's voice from inside.
Trembling, Yang Qiang entered the room. Seeing his state, He g**g smiled and said, "You must be Yang Qiang. Please, take a seat, don't be nervous."
"M-Mr. He..." Yang Qiang hesitated to sit.
In truth, he was just a rural man, accustomed to interacting mostly with ordinary people. While he didn't mind talking about executives in everyday conversations, when actually facing one, especially when it involved his future livelihood, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"He's quite decent. I like him," He g**g said cheerfully. "You're hired!"
"What?" Yang Qiang was dumbfounded.
Though he hadn't gone through an interview, didn't TV shows always say interviews involve asking many questions? Not a single question was asked here.
"I recruit based on first impressions. You look sincere, and I like that," He g**g continued. "Here's the deal: we happen to have a vacancy for the position of Director of Human Resources in our company. You'll take it! There won't be much to do usually, just signing documents. As for the annual salary, 1 million. Is that sufficient?"
"What!" Upon hearing the figure, Yang Qiang's legs almost gave out, and he nearly collapsed to the ground. Leaning against the wall, his eyes widened in shock as he looked at He g**g.
"Is he asking me to deal drugs?" At this moment, various thoughts crossed Yang Qiang's mind.
"Th-This... This salary is too high, and this job... I dare not take it. I'm just a simple man. I..." Yang Qiang didn't know what to say for a moment.
Outside, Ye Xin's mouth twitched slightly.
This guy is too timid!
However, obviously, He g**g's eloquence was quite excellent. Under his patient persuasion, Yang Qiang finally believed this was a very legitimate job.
But when he walked out, he still felt a bit dizzy.
Looking at Ye Xin, he had many questions to ask.
But at this moment, He g**g also walked out and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the HR department to handle your entry procedures, and then I'll show you around. You'll be the second-in-command of the HR department. By the way, have you prepared your bank card and ID? The finance department will prepay you half of your salary later. The position of HR director is an annual salary, with half prepaid and the rest distributed monthly."
"What about him?" Yang Qiang pointed to Ye Xin.
"He..." He g**g smiled at Ye Xin but didn't say anything clear. He then led Yang Qiang toward the HR department downstairs.
Watching Yang Qiang's nervous appearance, Ye Xin found it somewhat amusing. He rubbed his nose and watched Yang Qiang walk away. "With this salary and advance payment, An'an's surgery fees should be taken care of."
With that, he left the building!
As for work, he naturally didn't need to go to work; he was simply a figurehead.
Without his memory restored, he was unaware of the privileges of his New Ocean Bank Diamond Card. But now, he was very clear about it!
The Diamond Card allowed for the mobilization of substantial funds at New Ocean Bank. Moreover, he could also utilize the bank's financial team for free. In other words, the assistance Zou Qianqian provided him earlier fell well within the scope of his bank card's privileges.
Of course, Zou Qianqian hadn't insulted him based on his appearance when they first met, which left Ye Xin with a favorable impression of her.
With such an elite financial team, he wasn't worried at all about He g**g doing anything fishy with the finances.
Thinking this, he arrived downstairs, where several people were busy near the entrance on the ground floor. They were placing a photo on the section reserved for the boss.
As Ye Xin passed by, he glanced at it, a faint smile playing at his lips.
He didn't linger and headed straight for a taxi, bound for the Garden Community.
At this time, Ming Xiaonan and Zhe Qiuyu should be returning soon. It was a good opportunity to ask them about their specific tasks.
...
Just as Ye Xin left, the Personnel Department of Shengshi Company was bustling with activity. He g**g, accompanied by Yang Qiang, entered, clapping his hands. "Everyone, put down what you're doing for a moment."
With the company's full acquisition and He g**g's transition from boss to employee, everyone in the company had learned about it since yesterday.
But for He g**g, he still commanded everyone's respect.
Lin Qian, sitting in her seat, looked up and noticed Yang Qiang standing next to He g**g, feeling slightly stunned.
"Isn't he the guy who was following Ye Xin around a couple of days ago, all dirty and doing manual labor? How did he end up working alongside the boss? Is he the new bodyguard hired by the boss? Could it be that Ye Xin is also a bodyguard for the boss, rather than a security guard?" Lin Qian pondered.
Although she understood Ye Xin being a bodyguard, she still thought he was quite useless. But in her eyes, with his formidable strength, being a bodyguard was still feasible.
At this moment, He g**g spoke up. "Let me introduce our new Director of Human Resources to everyone, Yang Qiang! Come on, Yang Qiang,
introduce yourself!"
Yang Qiang had never spoken to so many people before and felt nervous, but he managed to say, "Hello, everyone. I'm Yang Qiang, and I hope we can get along well in the future."
Beside her, Lin Qian's mind was in turmoil!
This guy, who was all grimy and laboring alongside Ye Xin just two days ago, suddenly showed up in their company, and... became her immediate superior?
Lin Qian felt like her worldview... was collapsing.
"All right, I have other things to attend to. Xiao Zheng, you take Director Yang to familiarize himself with the Personnel Department," He g**g instructed someone nearby.
"Yes, Mr. He," a young man stood up.
The Personnel Department returned to its usual bustling state, with most people discussing Yang Qiang's arrival.
As for Lin Qian, she sat at her desk, lost in thought. She felt that something was off.
Yang Qiang's arrival, becoming the Director of Human Resources, did he have some kind of relation with the boss? Did Ye Xin introduce him? Then what is Ye Xin doing in the company?
Earlier, Ye Xin said she would regret it. Could it be that he came to work at Shengshi Company?
Various thoughts floated through her mind.
"Hey, Lin Qian," at this moment, a woman next to Lin Qian spoke up. "Have you seen our new boss?"
Feeling a bit irritated, Lin Qian shook her head. "I haven't seen him. Why? Whoever could acquire our company is probably some big enterprise. At the very least, he must be in his forties or fifties."
"You're overthinking it," the woman said mysteriously. "I just went out for a moment, and when I came back, I saw a photo of the new boss hanging on the wall. He's not old at all, looks like he's in his twenties."
"An heir of a wealthy family?" Lin Qian's expression changed, and a hint of excitement even flashed in her eyes.
...
Unaware of the events transpiring in the Personnel Department, Ye Xin took a taxi back to his residence in the Garden Community. Coincidentally, as he reached the door, he encountered Bailianxiang returning from grocery shopping.
"Why are you still coming to the Garden Community, Ye Xin?" Bailianxiang saw Ye Xin and naturally had nothing good to say. She glared at Ye Xin and said, "Are you still not giving up? You signed the papers; I have nothing to do with you anymore. You and Qingxue have no relation. Hurry up and leave. Don't dirty my eyes by coming here."
Ye Xin chuckled inwardly.
Lin Qingxue's father was a reasonable man, but he married such a woman.
Shaking his head, he decided not to bother with her and headed towards the entrance.
"Hold on!" Bailianxiang screamed. "What are you doing? If you keep this up, I'll have the property management throw you out."
"After my divorce, I bought a house in the Garden Community. Can't I live here?" Ye Xin glanced at her and said.
"Huh?" Bailianxiang was momentarily stunned.
The statement Ye Xin made left her somewhat dumbfounded. Her instinctive reaction was, how could you afford a house here? You hand over all your salary to me every month.
Secondly, she didn't expect Ye Xin to dare to talk to her like this.
In the past, Ye Xin wouldn't even dare to breathe in her presence.
After regaining her senses, her heart was filled with anger!
"Stop right there!" she shouted. "How could you afford a house here?"
She rushed towards the gate, chasing after Ye Xin.
