Improve the company

“The hotel is his?” Lin Yichu stared blankly at the calm and confident young man in front of her, forgetting to chew the pastry in her mouth.

She vaguely exchanged contact information with Chen Dong, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and her mind was still replaying everything that had happened since last night.

“Can he really help me rescue those four?”

Chen Dong looked at the four photos and names in his QQ: Xie Yuanming, Lin Nan, Xia Kun, and Nie Zhiqiang. Among them, Lin Nan was Lin Yichu’s cousin, and although several generations removed, they still had some blood relation.

Turning back to the hotel lobby, Zheng Kai greeted him with a fawning smile.

“Boss, our hotel has several private butlers with excellent professional skills. Would you like me to arrange one or two to be your personal butlers?”

“If I need one, I will contact you. Manager Zheng, I would like to remind you that you should prioritize your main job and not spend too much time worrying about my private life.”

Chen Dong gave the middle-aged man a cold glance, no longer wanting to waste words on him.

This was a person who specialized in dealing with people, and while human relations were important, Chen Dong did not like his subordinates to only focus on human relations without doing practical work.

He would wait until early September to see the hotel’s performance. Cleaning out the hotel management so early would feel like discarding a millstone after the donkey has done its work, and it would also imply a lack of trust in the Xiao Family.

But after a month, with evidence in hand, he could proceed boldly.

Zheng Kai looked at Chen Dong’s retreating figure, his expression shifting between clear and overcast, unsure of what he was thinking.

Going upstairs to his office, Chen Dong’s mood finally improved considerably upon seeing the sweet smiles on the faces of the twin sister secretaries.

“Boss, still tea?” Zhao Yanru smiled charmingly.

“Yes, green tea, Tieguanyin.” There were many varieties of tea and coffee in the office, all of very high quality.

“Yanran, ask Sister Wanying to come to my office.”

“Okay, Boss.”

“Boss, you’re here quite early today.” Xu Wanying heard that Chen Dong was looking for her and quickly put down her work to come over.

“Cough, it’s as if I don’t usually come to work.” Chen Dong self-mocked without any awkwardness.

“Sister Wanying, what would you like to drink?”

“Coffee, to perk me up.” Zhao Yanru quickly scurried off to make coffee for Xu Wanying.

As the two sat on the sofa, Xu Wanying’s gaze at Chen Dong was full of affection, her undisguised liking clearly evident.

“Sister Wanying, have the acquisitions of BYD shares and bitcoin started as we discussed before?”

“BYD shares are difficult to buy. This company has a very strong upward trend. I specifically instructed two traders to rush the purchase, but so far, we’ve only managed to buy a little over a million usd worth.

However, fortunately, we contacted several small shareholders and spent a lot of money to acquire five percent of the shares. Now, we are also one of BYD’s shareholders. I was just about to tell you today that since we’ve exceeded five percent, we’ll have to make a public disclosure tomorrow.”

“Then just announce it normally. Anyway, we won’t interfere with their normal operations; dividends are enough.”

Five percent was a lot, and Chen Dong was quite satisfied. Coupled with 80% of Character’s shares and the full shares of Youyou Live, with these three giants, his daily turnover was about to see a massive increase.

Although Character’s revenue was still relatively low at present, as long as he brought it into his fold and developed a subsequent development plan, he believed that with Zhang Taiming’s vision, Character would surely take off rapidly.

“Regarding bitcoin, I am currently still researching information and have also found people to inquire about it. I believe we will have results very soon.”

“Hmm, this matter can’t be rushed. Just acquire them slowly. Don’t buy too many, a few tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of coins will suffice.”

Chen Dong was not greedy; after all, this was a bizarre thing that could surge to 70,000 usd per coin more than ten years later, while currently, it was only around 10 usd.

“Also, Zhang Taiming of Character and Li Ling of Youyou both want to meet the boss and sign the agreement with you in person.”

“Alright, arrange a time for them to come to Jinghai as soon as possible to sign the agreement, lest there be any unforeseen complications.”

Chen Dong was eager to finalize this matter quickly, lest it be intercepted by others.

“Sister Wanying, after East Victory Network is registered, we will merge all the companies into East Victory Group for unified management.

I will serve as the Group President, and you will serve as the Group Vice President and President of the investment company. Sheng Yuan Real Estate will be renamed East Victory Real Estate, all Changjun International Hotels will be renamed Dongsheng International Hotel, and Kangle Supermarket will also be renamed East Victory Supermarket.

Then, we will contact a neutral financial audit institution. I plan to audit all the financial records of the Group’s subsidiary companies next month, and then centralize financial authority under the Group, implementing unified financial management and auditing.”

Xu Wanying quickly took notes. In fact, she had long had this idea, but initially, the company was just starting, and there weren’t enough people. After this period of recruitment, all kinds of talents had finally been found.

“Boss, how will Character and Youyou be managed then?”

“We’ll send a finance person over, primarily responsible for supervision. We’ll do a small audit of their finances every Monday and a major audit every month.”

Chen Dong pinched his nose; he still lacked trustworthy people.

“Sister Wanying, do you have suitable candidates for the heads of the Human Resources Department and the Finance Department?”

Personnel adjustments and recruitment, as well as financial management, were two very core departments of a group, and these two departments had to be entrusted to people he trusted.

“I have a classmate who used to be a financial director at a subsidiary of a large company in the United States. I think she is quite reliable, and she also returned to China a while ago. I think we can invite her for a try.

Regarding human resources, I think Cao Xianfeng, who is currently working in our investment company, is actually quite good. His abilities aren’t particularly outstanding, but he’s definitely usable.”

“Okay, then it’s settled for now. First, find your classmate. I’ll meet her, and if there’s no problem, arrange for her to start immediately and get familiar with the investment company’s financial situation first.”

“Okay, Boss.” Xu Wanying looked at Chen Dong with deep affection, then reluctantly got up to go to work.

Being alone with Chen Dong was when she felt the happiest and most relaxed, but she understood even more clearly: only by doing her job well and becoming the unique and irreplaceable person in Chen Dong’s heart would she have hope of staying by this man’s side forever.

Chen Dong looked at Xu Wanying’s beautiful back. How could he not understand the affection in her eyes?

But Chen Dong was a scumbag with principles: he couldn’t be too proactive, otherwise, he would lose his edge. Especially with this kind of office romance, Chen Dong had reservations.

If it spread throughout the company, and everyone knew that several beautiful women in his company were the boss’s girlfriends, it would first be detrimental to maintaining his image, and second, it would easily cause the women to become jealous, affecting company operations.

If a few scheming women were to appear in the midst of it, it would be even worse.

Unless he was confident that they could coexist peacefully, he should try to exercise restraint. Of course, if the other party was truly passionate and threw herself at him regardless of the consequences, he might not be entirely unwilling to accept it...
