302: Secretary agency service company

Not long after, there was a knock on the small meeting room door.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Tina, and I'll be assisting you with the subsequent registration procedures."

A clear female voice speaking Dragon Country People came from the doorway.

Li Qinghe turned his head to look, and good heavens, where did this instant ramen come from?

A young woman walked in from the doorway, dressed in a gray shirt and skirt, with a smile that almost overflowed her face, but her thick, long hair was permed into many woolly curls.

Tina

"Dragon Country People, Singaporean?"

Li Qinghe heard that the other party's Dragon Country People was quite standard, so he tentatively asked.

"Mr. Li, I am Dragon Country People. My home is next to your Akalin Province, just over Meiling."

Tina carried a pile of documents in.

As soon as Li Qinghe heard her say that, he immediately understood that she was a Hakka girl.

Since they were both Dragon Country People compatriots, Li Qinghe's attitude softened considerably.

William Huang probably also found a Dragon Country People colleague to help him with the relevant business because Li Qinghe was Dragon Country People.

"Is your company always like this? Do you have staff from the same country as the client to receive them?"

Watching Tina organize the documents, Li Qinghe casually found a topic to chat with her about.

"Not entirely. Everyone in the company speaks English, and work is randomly assigned. Only with major clients will the supervisor make specific arrangements."

As Tina organized Li Qinghe's office address, she looked at the stack of office building property deeds, her eyes flickering.

No wonder the supervisor said this was a major client who needed special attention.

This was an office building behind the famous ION Orchard integrated mall on Orchard Road.

These few office suites combined were worth fifty to sixty million singapore dollars.

And then, looking at the residential address, it was an detached villa in Singapore's famous wealthy district, Bukit Timah.

This villa, including the land, was at least forty to fifty million singapore dollars.

Just the fixed assets in Singapore alone reached over one hundred million singapore dollars. This young man's net worth definitely exceeded one billion dragon country currency.

However, Tina had worked at this company for several years and had seen many invisible wealthy individuals from China.

They were usually quiet in China, but their assets were astonishing.

It was just that this client was too young, only 22 years old. It was truly enviable that his family was willing to put so many assets under his name.

Thinking about her own salary of less than 6,000 singapore dollars a month, still having to pay rent and eat, the amount she saved, while perhaps a little more than in China, wasn't significantly more.

She could only sigh, thinking that people were just born with different fates.

"Mr. Li, you have several office suites here. One is enough for the company's registered address." Tina dutifully communicated with Li Qinghe.

"Then let's go with Room 3001." Li Qinghe casually designated the first office as the registered address.

He wanted to check the situation of the system mall next week.

If there were better office buildings, he would acquire them. If not, Vu Linh Huong planned to move the headquarters of Qingling Cosmetics Group to Singapore, and this floor of office space could be used as the headquarters' address.

"Mr. Li, regarding the company's directors, I have a small suggestion. Do you have any trustworthy friends or relatives in Singapore? As long as they have permanent residency or a valid work visa, they can serve as independent directors for the company."

Tina glanced at the meeting room door, then suddenly whispered something in Li Qinghe's ear.

Li Qinghe looked at her in surprise.

"I'm giving you this advice because we're both Dragon Country People. The secretary must be a local, but the director requirements aren't so strict, so you can save some money."

Tina made a "shush" gesture with her finger to her lips.

Hearing this, Li Qinghe found it quite interesting.

This girl was quite honest and truly treated him as one of her own.

William Huang had previously mentioned that whether it was an independent director or a secretary, their company could help find and arrange everything without Li Qinghe having to worry about a thing.

Of course, the price was that Li Qinghe would need to pay their secretarial company corresponding service fees annually.

Now, with Tina's reminder, although Li Qinghe wasn't short on money, he thought there was no need to let Singaporeans earn all of this money.

Since only a valid work visa was required, wasn't Zhang Rui a ready-made independent director?

Li Qinghe immediately asked Tina what documents were required for this independent director.

The requirements were very simple: only the person's passport and work visa.

"Thank you. I'll make a call and ask now."

Li Qinghe thanked Tina.

He sat directly in the meeting room and called Zhang Rui. After Zhang Rui answered, he clearly explained the matter of being an independent director for the company's registration.

After understanding what this independent director needed to do and the risks involved, Zhang Rui unhesitatingly agreed to Li Qinghe's request.

Fortunately, Zhang Rui had all his documents with him. He scanned his passport and work visa at his company and sent them to Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe then forwarded them to Tina.

Tina went out to print the relevant documents and uploaded all of Zhang Rui's documents to the relevant system.

However, when she clicked on Zhang Rui's documents, Tina was momentarily stunned.

She carefully looked at the information on the passport, and her expression became strange.

But she didn't make too much of a fuss.

She simply organized the relevant materials according to the regulations, uploading what needed to be uploaded and saving what needed to be saved.

The Singaporean government was quite advanced in this regard; all registration processes were conducted online.

These registration agencies in Singapore primarily provided a guarantee and preliminary document review.

Although many processes were handled online, there were still quite a few documents that needed to be provided by the secretarial service company, so preparing the documents also took some time.

Tina, along with another Taipei girl named Olivia, busily prepared various documents.

It was unclear if it was a trend popular at this secretarial agency, but all the women here, regardless of age, uniformly had permed instant ramen hair.

This girl named Olivia was also the same, running in and out with a head full of instant ramen hair.

Olivia

Li Qinghe realized that whether a hairstyle looked good or not ultimately depended on whether the person wearing it looked good.

This busyness continued until noon.

"Tina, you two worked hard this morning. I saw that the seafood buffet at the Hilton Hotel's 5th-floor restaurant next door serves food quite quickly. I'd like to treat you both to lunch."

Li Qinghe knew that Tina and her colleague only had lunch between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM.

So he planned to treat them to a quick lunch nearby.

He searched online for nearby food and found a seafood buffet restaurant in the Hilton Hotel in the adjacent building, which had good reviews online.

"Treat us to lunch?" Tina pointed at herself with a surprised expression.

Having been in Singapore for so long, she had almost forgotten the Dragon Country People way of interacting. Usually, when she went out to eat with colleagues, they would always split the bill.

She actually knew the restaurant Li Qinghe mentioned; it cost 70 singapore dollars per person.

Compared to other hawker centers where meals cost three to five singapore dollars, it was quite expensive.

They were all working people, with incomes of only a few thousand singapore dollars, so it was impossible to spend three to four hundred dragon country currency on a meal every time.

Tina had eaten there with colleagues before, and she always felt quite pained about the cost.

Now that Li Qinghe offered to treat them to lunch there, her first thought was that Li Qinghe had intentions toward her.

However, Li Qinghe's eyes were very clear.

She and Olivia exchanged glances, and Olivia seemed a little expectant.

"Then we'll trouble Mr. Li."
