290: Chairman and General Manager arrive together

After the staff at Pearl Island Resort checked the yacht at the pier, they asked Li Qinghe to sign for it and then sailed it back to Pearl Island.

"The holiday is over just like that. I finally understand what it feels like not to want to work."

Vu Linh Huong leaned back in the passenger seat, looking languid. Outside the window, the coastline sped by. They had still chosen to drive back to Saigon via the coastal road.

Her outfit today was very fresh: a one-shoulder tank top paired with blue-and-white striped athletic shorts, accentuating her shapely figure.

Vu Linh Huong

After a few days of fun, the young miss was somewhat reluctant to leave. She finally understood the mindset of those who didn't want to work.

Indeed, a gentle haven is a hero's tomb; even Vu Linh Huong's fighting spirit had been significantly eroded.

It seemed that after returning to Saigon, it would take her some time to get back into work mode.

"If you don't want to work, then don't work. It's not like you don't have the means. Come with me to Singapore to play."

Li Qinghe deliberately teased her.

"Oh, you're so annoying! I'm trying to get back into work mode, and you're shaking my resolve to build a career."

Vu Linh Huong pouted, feigning anger at Li Qinghe for undermining her career ambitions.

Li Qinghe glanced at her and replied with a smile, "It's shaking even when I'm not touching it."

Vu Linh Huong immediately pouted playfully, protecting her career ambition.

But what secrets were left on her entire body?

She merely went through the motions before letting go.

The young miss, having descended to the mortal world, had completely abandoned her reserve in front of Li Qinghe.

However, this Vu Linh Huong was the real, tangible, and vibrant girlfriend to Li Qinghe.

A 400-kilometer journey on Vietnam's national roads meant they couldn't really speed.

Even with Li Qinghe's exceptional driving skills, it still took a strenuous 6 hours to reach Saigon.

It was now the busiest time of the afternoon.

As the lexus 570 merged into the surging tide of motorcycles on Saigon's streets, the deafening roar of motorcycle engines could be heard through the car windows.

Vu Linh Huong stretched, "Finally back in Saigon."

"Let's go see our cosmetics empire." Vu Linh Huong pointed forward, dramatically directing Li Qinghe to drive towards District 1.

Having gathered her career ambitions on the way back from Nha Trang, Vu Linh Huong seemed to have regained her entrepreneurial drive upon returning to Saigon.

So, her first order of business was to visit the offices of Qingling Cosmetics Group with Li Qinghe.

This was in the CBD of District 1, on the 20th floor of an office building. The entire floor was the office space Vu Linh Huong had prepared for the cosmetics group.

To this day, Li Qinghe still didn't know how many fixed assets Vu Linh Huong truly owned in Hanoi and Saigon.

According to her, all of these were allocated to her by Vu Van Nghia.

Since gaining more and more resources within the family, Vu Van Nghia had not stinted on his sister financially.

He had prepared many properties, companies, and land for her within his means.

In Vu Van Nghia's own words, it was to help their mother prepare a dowry for his sister, so that no matter whom she married, she wouldn't have to worry about her livelihood.

Therefore, when Vu Linh Huong wanted to start her own business, she had an abundance of such fixed assets.

Qingling Cosmetics Group was very important to Vu Linh Huong, so she specifically chose an office building in the CBD of District 1, Saigon, to serve as the temporary group headquarters.

During the 6-hour drive from Nha Trang back to Saigon, the two of them weren't idle.

Li Qinghe witnessed Vu Linh Huong's dedication to her career.

So he cooperated and accompanied her in developing corresponding ideas.

Li Qinghe's upcoming trip to Singapore sparked ideas for both of them.

In the future, it might be possible to locate the headquarters of Qingling Cosmetics Group in Singapore.

As a small nation that is friendly to foreign investment and allows 100% foreign ownership,

Singapore has become the favorite destination for the wealthiest individuals across Asia.

A number of multinational corporations have also relocated their regional headquarters to Singapore.

This is because the tax regime there is favorable, and Singapore has signed tax treaties with multiple countries to avoid double taxation.

Haidilao, which has already changed its surname, is an example of this; its owner went straight to Singapore to pay less tax.

Therefore, for Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong, it was better to place the headquarters in Singapore than in Vietnam.

This would also facilitate their company's global expansion.

They drove the car into the office building's underground parking lot, then took the elevator directly to the 20th floor.

Greeting them at the company was the diligent Head Maid.

The company was just starting, and they hadn't even set up a reception desk yet.

Hoang Dang Minh Thu had truly helped Vu Linh Huong handle many matters in Saigon during this period.

The work for the beauty salon was largely organized, and now most of her energy was focused on the cosmetics group.

Therefore, she was responsible for recruiting an initial batch of employees for preparatory work.

In the brightly lit main office, Hoang Dang Minh Thu, dressed in a form-fitting business suit, looked incredibly radiant.

Standing next to Vu Linh Huong, who was in casual attire, they were truly like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each excelling in her own way.

Hoang Dang Minh Thu was also very surprised to see Vu Linh Huong dressed in casual clothes.

She rarely saw the young miss like this, without the usual imposing air of wealth and power.

She looked just like a girl next door.

"Miss Lingxiang, welcome back to Saigon."

Hoang Dang Minh Thu stepped forward with a smile, welcoming the two of them.

Li Qinghe surveyed the office and found it still very spacious.

"Minh Thu, how many employees have been hired here so far?"

"Currently, only essential human resources, finance, and channel personnel have been recruited here. The others are plantation managers recruited locally. There are only a dozen people in the office right now..."

Hoang Dang Minh Thu reported all the work she had done during this period to Vu Linh Huong and Li Qinghe in detail.

"With Minh Thu here, many things are very worry-free."

Vu Linh Huong put her arm around Hoang Dang Minh Thu in the office, giving her the highest affirmation for her work during this period.

Li Qinghe watched them embrace, like sisters, and the scene was unusually harmonious.

Vu Linh Huong and Hoang Dang Minh Thu

It could be said that Head Maid was wholeheartedly working for Vu Linh Huong, not treating herself as an outsider at all.

Such an insider was naturally worth cultivating vigorously.

However, for Li Qinghe, the more capable his people were, the more he could slack off.

He was very adept at delegating authority.

As long as the final outcome was that things got done and he did less, that was a perfect result.

Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong toured the entire office.

Because the company registration involved issues of controlling the company's specific operations, Hoang Dang Minh Thu had arranged for Li Qinghe to be the chairman and Vu Linh Huong to be the general manager.

The chairman manages technology, and the general manager manages operations—this was a perfect combination.

Now, both the chairman and the general manager had arrived at the company.

The employees of Qingling Cosmetics Group, seeing their young bosses for the first time, all stood up to greet them.

According to the requirements of Li Qinghe and Vu Linh Huong, these employees were not all Vietnamese.

It was a multinational team, with various nationalities and skin colors gathered together.

These people all knew that once such a startup company developed, they would be the company's veterans.

And the reason they were willing to work for such an obscure startup company was this:

Hoang Dang Minh Thu had put some thought into the recruitment process; she had all successful interviewees experience the company's products.

Through personal experience, she planted the seeds of confidence in the company's products in the employees' hearts.
