Chapter 88: A Man Who Makes Her Happy

"At the same time, I suggest the Security Department have one head manager and three deputy managers. We should also increase the staff by sixteen, including six women.

"The reason we need three deputy managers is that I believe Fuxing Supermarket needs one, the hotel needs one, and the mall needs one.

"The additional female security guards will mainly be assigned to the supermarket and the mall.

"As for the Property Management Office and the Infrastructure Office, they need to be separated from the company. The Property Management Office should have its own security team. Furthermore, I think it’s best to hire people with mature experience for this team, rather than letting Zhang Qiang go over there and give blind orders."

"Are you taking revenge on him?" Ye Ziqiu glared at him.

"There is an element of revenge, but President Ye, have you thought about it? Zhang Qiang is just a security guard for the group. He isn’t familiar with property management at all. Properties are extremely difficult to manage nowadays. If we still use the old methods and routines, it will lead to conflicts with the property owners!

"Therefore, if we want to build a first-class property management company, we must hire a security manager from outside. We might even need to find professional managers for the property company itself."

Ye Ziqiu asked in surprise, "Who did you learn all this from?"

"Do I even need to learn this from anyone?" Lin Jian said, speechless. "Nowadays, selling houses isn’t just about the location; it’s also about the service. Without good service, no matter how good the house is, it won’t be easy to sell."

"Mhm, selling service!" Ye Ziqiu nodded in strong agreement.

"What else? Keep going." She gestured for Lin Jian to continue.

Lin Jian pointed out several fire hazards in the mall, and Ye Ziqiu took notes very seriously.

"Very good." After listening to the report, Ye Ziqiu nodded. "Lin Jian, this is how you should work. Start everything from the little details. As long as we work earnestly, that will be the shining point for each of us.

"You can head back first. Get off work on time today!"

Ye Ziqiu closed her notebook. She was only here to listen to the report today, so she didn’t make any promises to Lin Jian.

"Are we done with official business?" Lin Jian asked softly.

"What? Do you have personal matters to discuss?" Ye Ziqiu asked with a strange look.

"Yes, yes, yes. Old Ye, let’s go out for dinner tonight!"

"This is the office, don’t call me Old Ye," Ye Ziqiu said, blushing.

"There’s no one else here, right? I want to treat you to dinner tonight, and I also need you to be my witness. Is that okay?"

"Treat me to dinner? And be a witness? Witness to what?" Ye Ziqiu asked with great interest.

"It’s like this. I founded a small company, just established today. To celebrate the grand opening, since there are five of us in total, as the boss, I should treat them to a meal.

"And you, if nothing unexpected happens, will eventually become the boss’s wife of this small company. So, you should come with us today as a witness, and see if this Young Master can build it into an international mega-corporation in the future!"

"Who is your boss’s wife? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll... I’ll..." Ye Ziqiu raised her pen, pretending to throw it at him. This bad guy.

"Okay, okay, I won’t talk nonsense. Just come with me. After dinner, we’ll go home together, won’t we?"

"What kind of company did you start?" Ye Ziqiu asked curiously.

"I didn’t exactly start it. A friend of mine used to run it, but they don’t plan on continuing it anymore, so I figured I’d take over."

"What kind is it? What is its main business?"

"Mainly antique trading. We act as middlemen. Didn’t I take you and Jiang Xue to Old Wang’s shop before? Old Wang gets a commission when he introduces business to others, and our nature of work is pretty much the same!"

"An agency?" Ye Ziqiu nodded. "That is indeed a small company."

To her, companies worth tens or hundreds of millions were all small companies. And this kind of agency wouldn’t even catch her eye. However, this man was going to start a career! This was a great beginning. As long as a man had the drive to strive for success, he deserved praise.

"Alright, I’ll go tonight, but you..." Ye Ziqiu suddenly paused.

She wanted to ask him if he could still work as a security guard at their company and continue driving for her now that he had started his own company and become a boss. Or rather, was he indirectly telling her that he didn’t want to work here anymore? Was he too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he was waiting for her to bring it up? That way, he could naturally leave and focus on his own career.

At this thought, Ye Ziqiu’s expression changed, and she suddenly felt a faint pang in her heart.

However, right at that moment, Lin Jian suddenly spoke up. "Old Ye, I have another matter. Can you promise me something?"

"What is it?" Ye Ziqiu asked subconsciously.

"Just promote me to a regular position and tell Zhang Qiang to get lost. If I become the manager, I promise I’ll do a better job than him!"

"Huh?" Ye Ziqiu raised an eyebrow. A moment ago, she was feeling sad, thinking Lin Jian wanted to quit, but now he was suddenly asking her for a promotion? What was going on?

"You still plan on working here?" she finally asked.

"What do you mean, Old Ye?" Lin Jian’s eyes widened. "If I don’t continue working here, where else would I go?"

"Didn’t you start your own company? You’ve already opened a company; can you really keep being a security guard here?" Ye Ziqiu asked in return.

"Running my company and being a security guard here don’t conflict. I have tens of millions in savings, and I’m still a security guard here, aren’t I? Besides, I opened that company in partnership with others. I won’t be managing it; someone else will run it for me. You’ll see them tonight.

"Plus, being a security guard here means I get to see you every day. Only a fool would resign. I haven’t even won your heart yet!"

"Hmph, then you can be a security guard here for the rest of your life." Ye Ziqiu felt incredibly smug at this moment.

Oh, so he was staying just to pursue her! Because of this, she felt extremely sweet inside.

"Absolutely! As long as you are at Fuxing, Old Ye, I will work as a security guard at Fuxing. If you don’t leave, I won’t abandon you!"

"Shoo." Ye Ziqiu’s face turned red at his words, and she said in faux annoyance, "Well then, Manager Lin, we’re done talking about both business and personal matters. Please leave."

"Hey, hey, you can’t be like this. It’s rare for me to come to your office; just let me stay a little longer."

"In a while, the managers of the other department Sect Leaders will be coming to report on their work," Ye Ziqiu said somewhat shyly.

"Alright, I won’t delay your work. I’ll get going." Lin Jian stood up, opened the door, and left.

Once Lin Jian was gone, Ye Ziqiu suddenly broke into a smile. When she had guessed that he was going to resign earlier, her heart had actually ached faintly. But as soon as he said he wasn’t leaving, she found herself suddenly happy again.

She realized that whenever she was with Lin Jian, her emotions would go up and down, and she became exceptionally sensitive.

"Is this... is this love? He can bring you sadness, but he can also bring you infinitely wonderful feelings," Ye Ziqiu murmured to herself. Her lips were curled into a smile, and her face was flushed—she was clearly a young woman thoroughly smitten.

But right at that moment, there was another knock on the door. Ye Ziqiu quickly changed her expression, cleared her throat, and said, "Come in."
