Chapter 122: 300 Million in Hand

Outside the CEO’s office, Secretary Jin was dressed exceptionally beautifully today. Although Ye Ziqiu had left, Secretary Jin was still around, and she was noticeably dressed in a bolder and more revealing style.

"Chen Department, Lin Department, please wait a moment."

Secretary Jin didn’t show any sign of awkwardness. It was a simple rule of the workplace: every new boss brought a new regime. As an ordinary employee, she naturally aligned herself with whoever was in charge. She knocked on the door to ask for instructions. Only after receiving permission from the new President Ye inside did she nod to Lin Jian and Chen Li. "Ministers, please go in."

Lin Jian and Chen Li entered the office together. As soon as they walked in, a handsome man wearing a tailored suit and glasses came out from behind the desk to greet them.

"Minister Chen, Minister Lin, hello!"

He was extremely polite. When shaking hands with Lin Jian, he even pumped it firmly a couple of times to show his sincerity.

Lin Jian took this opportunity to carefully observe Ye Sen. He looked to be around thirty, perhaps slightly older. He was gentle and refined, wearing rimless glasses and an exquisite suit. He had excellent, soft, and pampered skin. He was also a Ye Family member. Since the Ye Family was a massive financial conglomerate, the young masters and young ladies within it were undoubtedly pampered and privileged.

"Please have a seat, you two!"

After shaking hands, both sides sat down. Ye Sen looked at Chen Li and said, "Minister Chen, Ziqiu being transferred back to headquarters—I actually feel it was inappropriate too. But you know that guy Li Ziheng has quite a lot of influence. He has a chokehold on Rejuvenation’s key raw materials, and we had no other choice. So, we could only have her go back!"

As Ye Sen spoke, he glanced at Lin Jian a few times, specifically emphasizing his tone when mentioning Li Ziheng.

"President Ye, I reserve my opinion. I still believe the headquarters’ decision was inappropriate, and it is irresponsible toward Continent Rejuvenation.

"Naturally, I also hope you familiarize yourself with the current situation of Continent Rejuvenation as soon as possible, President Ye. We really can’t afford to delay a few of our investments any longer!"

"Alright, don’t worry. I’m here to build a career. Minister Chen, you can rest completely assured on that."

Ye Sen continued to display his sincerity.

After the two discussed a few project issues, Ye Sen suddenly looked at Lin Jian. "Minister Lin, I heard you were driving for Ziqiu previously?"

"Yes, President Ye," Lin Jian nodded.

"Perfect. I just arrived on the Continent and am not familiar with Jiang City. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble a great minister like you to be my driver for the next few days. No problem, right?"

This guy had thrown a difficult problem at Lin Jian right off the bat!

Naturally, according to regular workplace rules, this wouldn’t be a problem at all. Rather, it would be akin to hitting the jackpot or striking gold! If the previous boss had just left and the successor still chose to use the original driver, that driver would have to be incredibly favored.

However, this wasn’t a normal workplace. A large part of the reason Ye Ziqiu was transferred was likely due to him, her driver! It was because he was embroiled in a scandal with the CEO. Therefore, it was obvious that Ye Sen harbored ill intentions.

Regardless of his intentions, Lin Jian had only come to this office to see what the new CEO looked like. Now that he had seen him, he lost all interest in the place. However, he didn’t know the exact relationship between Ye Sen and Ye Ziqiu, so it wasn’t a good idea to fall out with him right now.

Thus, he tactfully declined, "President Ye, I’m sorry, but I’m planning to resign."

"Resign? You’re doing a great job, so why resign?" Ye Sen asked, feigning confusion.

Lin Jian shook his head. "Family matters."

"That... that’s a pity." Ye Sen expressed his regret. "Well, you’re always welcome to visit Rejuvenation in the future!"

"Alright, goodbye!"

Lin Jian shook hands with Ye Sen once more, then turned and walked out. Chen Li followed him.

"Lin Jian, what are your plans for the future?" Chen Li suddenly asked after they left the office.

"I haven’t decided yet." Lin Jian smiled and extended his hand. "Chen, it was a pleasure meeting you."

Chen Li reached out and shook his hand, saying mildly, "If you need any help in the future, don’t hesitate to come to me!"

"I will!" Lin Jian smiled as he entered the elevator.

Just as he stepped in, a call from an unknown number came through. Upon answering, a woman’s voice said, "Hello, is this Mr. Lin Jian?"

"This is he. Who is this?"

"It’s like this: I was entrusted by Ms. Ye Ziqiu to hand over some items to you. Are you at Rejuvenation?"

"Yes. Where are you?" Lin Jian asked curiously.

"I’m at the Starbucks in Rejuvenation Square."

"Alright, I’ll be right there!"

Lin Jian hung up the phone and headed straight to the coffee shop in Rejuvenation Square. A moment later, he walked into the café and immediately spotted a woman in a business suit leisurely sipping coffee.

Lin Jian walked up to her and said, "Hello, I’m Lin Jian."

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I didn’t expect you to be so young!"

After shaking hands with him, the woman pulled a stack of documents from her folder. There seemed to be a photo of him among the papers; she compared it to him for a moment before adding, "Mr. Lin, could I please see your ID card?"

"You came over from Xiangdao, right?" Lin Jian asked as he handed his ID card to her.

"Yes. I am an accountant from the Xiangdao Huajin Accounting Firm, and also Ms. Ye Ziqiu’s private financial assistant." As she spoke, she verified his ID. Confirming it was correct, she pointed out over a dozen places that required a signature. "These need to be signed by you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Jian scratched his head. He noticed that many of the characters on the documents were in traditional Chinese, accompanied by English translations.

"What are these... for?"

Although Lin Jian trusted Old Ye unconditionally, he still didn’t understand the woman’s intent.

"It’s like this," she said, pointing to one of the documents. "These files are stubs required by the bank. Since the Zhu Family’s financial officer has already helped you open an account at HSBC, you only need to sign these documents now. This Diamond Black Card has already been activated."

A Diamond Black Card!

Lin Jian’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected Old Ye to come through so reliably, finishing the application for the black card so quickly.

"You mean I can use this card to make purchases right now?" Lin Jian asked happily.

"Absolutely, and there is no limit. At the same time, you can also transfer the balance in the black card to any domestic bank account.

"Furthermore, the overdraft limit on your black card is thirty million!"

"Understood."

Lin Jian couldn’t stop grinning. That meant even if he spent all three hundred million in the balance, he could still overdraft an extra thirty million! He couldn’t wait to sign the documents. Then, picking up the black card, he asked, "Can I link this to my mobile banking app?"

"Yes, but you need to do it at a bank counter!"

"Understood. Thanks a lot!"

Lin Jian pocketed the card. After the accountant gathered the documents, she stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, it was a pleasure meeting you. If you have any finance-related matters in the future, you can give me a call."

As she spoke, she handed him a business card.

"Alright, thank you."

Lin Jian took the business card, tucked it away, and after bidding her farewell, eagerly left Rejuvenation. He was heading straight to a bank counter to set up his mobile banking, so he could quickly pay back the money he owed Jiang Xue.
