321: This boss is very generous with money.
"Boss, I'll definitely build the company up for you properly." Emily waved her small fist, her face serious.
"So what do you think we should do next?"
"Recruitment! I'll contact human resources companies and headhunters right away."
"Go ahead."
Full of drive, Emily turned and walked towards the other end of the street. After only a couple of steps, she quickly turned back.
"Boss, could you give me a ride? It's still a few kilometers away." Emily felt a little embarrassed, realizing she had been so energized by a simple pep talk from her boss.
So, Li Qinghe drove Emily to a very famous human resources company on Orchard Road.
For now, there was no immediate need to find headhunting firms.
Generally speaking, human resources companies are more comprehensive than headhunting firms; they can handle recruitment for both senior and entry-level positions.
Headhunters, however, usually focus on middle and senior management roles.
For Li Qinghe, there was no demand for extremely high-end talent at the moment.
The most high-end position currently needed was probably a financial manager.
After filling out all the paperwork at the human resources company, Emily extended her hand towards Li Qinghe: "Boss, money, please."
Human resources companies charge an annual fee for companies with a registered capital exceeding 490,000 singapore dollars.
Qinghe Worry-Free Media's registered capital was 1,000,000 singapore dollars, placing it squarely in the 500,000 to 1,000,000 singapore dollars registered capital bracket.
The annual fee was 325 singapore dollars, with additional charges for special position requirements.
The company's bank account had only just been opened today, and activation would take 2 to 4 weeks.
Emily couldn't sign for a corporate payment yet, so she had to ask her boss for the money.
"Give me your bank account." Li Qinghe directly asked Emily for her account.
After Emily opened her phone and showed her bank account to Li Qinghe,
Li Qinghe pretended to operate on his phone, but in reality, he directly withdrew 150,000 singapore dollars from the system and transferred it to Emily's account.
Then, he took out 50,000 singapore dollars directly from the small bag beside him and placed it in front of Emily.
Although this stack of cash wasn't much, it made the human resources company employee who was helping them with the procedures stare wide-eyed.
This boss in front of him seemed very generous.
Looking further, the salaries listed for various positions were generally 20% to 30% higher than those in the same industry.
He secretly noted down the name of Li Qinghe's company, thinking that if there was a good position, he might be able to jump ship directly.
For example, as an HR, the human resources employee's heart was burning with excitement.
Emily was also stunned, looking at the deposit notification on her phone and the 50,000 singapore dollars in front of her.
She didn't know which rich young master her boss was, just playing around, but he had directly given her 200,000 singapore dollars in cash as he had promised for her authority.
This boss is truly wealthy.
He was so generous and decisive with money, which suddenly made Emily feel a little less confident.
Would such a wealthy boss even look at her?
Although her thoughts were racing, Emily didn't forget what she was doing and first paid the membership fee.
The human resources company quickly posted Qinghe Worry-Free Media's job openings on their website, with Emily's contact email.
Starting tomorrow, Emily could check the submitted resumes from her email.
After leaving the human resources company, Li Qinghe directly took Emily to the car, and without asking her any questions, he drove off in one direction.
"Boss, where are you taking me?" Emily looked at the constantly receding scenery outside the car window and asked Li Qinghe, who was focused on driving, with surprise.
"Don't you live in Clementi? I happen to be going that way, so I'll drop you off at home. You don't have to work this afternoon."
Li Qinghe drove without turning his head.
"Oh, thank you, Boss."
Emily didn't know whether to be happy or not.
This boss sometimes seemed very arbitrary, yet at other times, he was so considerate.
It strangely aligned with the domineering CEO novels Emily had read.
Emily, who had never been in a serious relationship, was very confused by such male behavior, but then she suddenly realized that she was here to work, not to fall in love.
"Boss, you can drop me off at the intersection of Holland Road and Ulu Pandan Road."
Emily sat up straight in the back seat, trying to appear in line with business etiquette.
Li Qinghe also saw Emily's sudden change in expression in the rearview mirror.
He didn't want to speculate, because women were always strange, and if he had to coax even a subordinate, life would be too tiring.
The Bentley steadily dropped Emily off at the intersection of Holland Road and Ulu Pandan Road.
"Go home and get some good rest. You'll be starting work tomorrow." Li Qinghe smiled, threw out a sentence, and then roared the engine, leaving the area.
Emily watched the Bentley's taillights disappear into the distance, feeling a sense of loss.
Singapore University of Social Sciences is actually also in the Clementi area, which Singaporeans call the 'school district'.
So, Emily's house location was quite good because housing prices here were rising every year.
When Li Qinghe drove near Singapore University of Social Sciences, he sent a message to Lilia.
Lilia said they were still in class and told Li Qinghe to find a parking spot first.
Soon, Lilia's roommate, Susan, whom Li Qinghe had not yet met, would come to find him.
He had met the 'Dragon Elephant' and 'Dragon Horse' of this mixed-race dorm, leaving only this 'Horse Elephant' yet to be seen.
However, Li Qinghe didn't have high expectations for this.
Because Lilia had said that Susan's Indian bloodline was not of a high caste.
Low-caste Indians naturally have dark skin, and Malay people's skin color is not far behind.
Combining these two, Li Qinghe could already anticipate her general appearance.
Fortunately, Li Qinghe wasn't like the protagonist next door, always wanting to take out an entire dorm.
If he were to take out anyone, it would be an entire family.
He found a white-line parking space and parked the car.
Li Qinghe then strolled through this, Singapore's sixth public university.
At this time, some students who finished class early were already walking out of the teaching buildings.
Li Qinghe's phone received a call from an unknown number.
He casually answered the phone, and a sweet voice came through: "Hello, is this Li? I'm Susan..."
It turned out to be Lilia's mixed-race roommate, the 'Horse Elephant'.
After she clarified Li Qinghe's location, she told him to wait there and not leave.
About 20 minutes later, Li Qinghe saw an Indian girl with yellowish-brown skin walking towards him, holding a book.
She was wearing a simple white T-shirt on top, but a very eye-catching rainbow-colored hot pants on the bottom.
Susan
"Hello, are you Li? I'm Susan, very nice to meet you."
The sweet voice, identical to the one on the phone, made Li Qinghe almost disbelieve that it came from the girl in front of him.
However, putting aside her skin color, the girl had a pretty good figure.
"Hello, I'm Li Qinghe, very nice to meet you." Li Qinghe politely shook her hand.
But Li Qinghe felt a strange light in Susan's eyes.
"Oh, Li, Lilia and Nina both said you were tall and handsome, and I think you're even more handsome than they described."
Susan hugged the book to her chest, her eyes constantly fluttering as she sized up Li Qinghe.
This expression made Li Qinghe feel that the girl seemed a bit desperate.
So Li Qinghe subtly took two steps back: "Susan, Lilia and the others should be arriving soon."
