46: Chapter 46 Friendship Across Ages

He Yunri burst into laughter.

"Fine, that has the spirit of my younger days!"

The two men got along famously.

Shen Yan hadn't expected to have so much in common with He Yunri.

From personality to core values, they clicked in every aspect.

As they talked, he even felt like he could become a friend across the age gap with He Yunri.

He Yunri felt the same way; he saw a reflection of his younger self in Shen Yan.

After their chat, Shen Yan went back.

The next day, Shen Yan, Chen Guangke, and Wu Ya set off from Sea City and returned to An City.

As soon as they arrived, Shen Yan announced something to the other two.

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to establish a company."

Since the beginning, Chen Guangke and Wu Ya knew Shen Yan intended to start a company, so they weren't surprised.

"Then should we start recruiting new people now?"

Shen Yan nodded.

The company definitely couldn't run with just the three of them.

To start a company, they needed to hire more people.

At the very least, they needed to establish the company structure.

"I will handle the company registration matters these next couple of days. You two help me post a few job openings on the recruitment software first."

Wu Ya patted her chest and replied, "No problem, just leave all these tedious tasks to us!"

Shen Yan naturally trusted them both. After delegating the hiring issue to Chen Guangke and Wu Ya, he got busy with the company registration.

The procedures for registering a company weren't difficult; he just needed to prepare the necessary documents.

Besides preparing the paperwork, he also needed to find an office location.

That small warehouse definitely couldn't be used anymore.

Since he was starting a company, he needed to find a larger office space.

He had already decided to look for an office location in the city center with convenient transportation.

Currently, there were few office spaces with good transportation access; basically, it was limited to those few buildings.

Shen Yan checked them one by one and found that none of these office spaces met his requirements.

In order to find a suitable office location, he went to find a real estate Agent.

"Sir, are none of these spaces to your liking?"

Looking at the empty spaces before him, Shen Yan nodded.

These spaces were either too shabby or the cost was simply too high; none matched his current needs.

"Don't you have any other places for me to look at?"

Hearing the question, the real estate Agent gritted his teeth and replied.

"There are definitely other places, but since you specified convenient transportation... we might not be able to meet that."

"To be honest, most well-established companies sign five-year leases, so finding one now isn't impossible..."

As he spoke, the real estate Agent's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey! I just thought of a place!"

Half an hour later, the Agent led Shen Yan to a relatively remote building.

"Is this the place you mentioned?"

The real estate Agent nodded proudly.

"That's right. This place is not only spacious, but it also has a lot of office equipment left behind by the previous company. You can take it all if you don't mind."

Shen Yan frowned and remained silent.

The space here was indeed very large, but the transportation access was not good.

To get here, besides taking the subway and then a bus, there was still a ten-minute walk.

This did not meet Shen Yan's requirements.

"No, this place is too remote."

The real estate Agent sighed heavily.

"Mr. Shen, let me be frank with you: your budget doesn't match your requirements. If we search based on what you asked for, we only find very expensive office spaces."

"I really think you can compromise on the transportation aspect."

Shen Yan stayed silent.

He was seriously considering the Agent's suggestion.

He knew the Agent was right.

Given the current situation, finding an office space that completely matched his requirements seemed unlikely.

"How about this: give me one more day to consider it."

The Agent replied with a smile, "No problem, I'll wait for your reply!"

After viewing the location, Shen Yan returned to the studio to find Chen Guangke and Wu Ya.

As soon as he entered the studio, he saw Chen Guangke and Wu Ya staring gloomily at the computer screen.

"What are you two doing?"

Hearing the question, Chen Guangke and Wu Ya turned around together.

"You're finally back!"

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "So why do you two look so distressed? Did something happen?"

Chen Guangke and Wu Ya poured out their complaints.

Ever since they decided to hire people, they had posted their job requirements on various recruitment software platforms.

Because the salaries they offered were high, many people submitted their resumes.

Initially, they were quite happy. With so many applicants, they wouldn't have to worry about finding Employees.

But the reality was that they had been too naive.

Eight out of every ten people who applied for jobs were novices who didn't work in this industry.

The remaining two were beginners who only knew a little bit superficially.

In short, everyone who applied for their positions was completely unrelated to their industry.

After listening to their complaints, Shen Yan thought for a moment and suddenly asked them, "What do you think about us developing a job-seeking software?"

Chen Guangke and Wu Ya looked at each other and replied, "We think that's a great idea!"

"These job recruitment software platforms nowadays are ridiculous. Those who want to hire can't find people, and those who want to find jobs can't find positions."

"If you really want to hire someone, you have to pay money into the recruitment software. If you don't pay, the job seekers won't even see your listings."

Shen Yan nodded and replied to them, "Okay, then we will try to develop a job-seeking and recruitment type of software later."

"However, before that, you two need to brainstorm a company name with me."

Wu Ya was a little surprised. She asked Shen Yan, "You can just think of the company name yourself, why ask us?"

Shen Yan explained, "You two are not just my Employees, you are also my partners. I believe the company name should be decided upon through discussion among all of us."

Chen Guangke and Wu Ya had completely different reactions. He thought it was perfectly normal for the three of them to discuss the company name together.

"Aren't there three of us? Let's call it the Three-Person Company!"

Wu Ya rolled her eyes hard.

"Do you have a brain? This is a corporate name! Why are you naming it so casually?"

Chen Guangke replied indignantly, "I didn't name it casually; this is a name I came up with after deep consideration!"

"If you don't agree with the name I suggested, then you suggest one yourself!"

Wu Ya was speechless. Now that she was suddenly required to come up with a name, she couldn't think of one either!
