Seeing her like this, Chu Hong smiled and stepped forward to take her arm: "Yes, it wouldn't be right if you didn't participate."
Upon hearing this, He Fanxing knew exactly what Chu Hong had guessed, and appeared somewhat shy and flustered: "President Chu, I...I..."
"From now on, don't call me President Chu anymore. Whether you're at work or off work, just call me Sister Chu."
Chu Hong said.
???
Sister Chu, you once told us at the company to use our job titles when we're at work.
Why are you changing your mind so suddenly?!
Seeing that He Fanxing was a little stunned, Chu Hong had no choice but to put it more bluntly: "Fanxing, I hope that you can put in a good word for me with Chairman Shen in the future."
He Fanxing blushed even more now, and finally understood why the other party had changed so much. In the past, Chu Hong valued her more for her abilities, but now... it was more about flattery and winning her over.
Ultimately, it was Shen Yan behind him.
Yes, the word "behind" can be an adjective or a verb.
This change made He Fanxing feel a little uncomfortable, but remembering what she had said to Shen Yan, she forced herself to calm down and hugged Chu Hong's arm: "Okay, Sister Chu."
She knew that her life and career had changed after meeting Shen Yan.
This change was uncontrollable, with both good and bad aspects, but she adjusted quickly.
If you can't change it, then enjoy it!
On the other side, after seeing He Fanxing off, Shen Yan did not go back, but went to a teahouse.
Just as he was quietly drinking tea, the door to the room opened, and Chen Jie entered first, followed by Zhang Yuntian, Ma Tao, and then Zhang Feng and three other bodyguards.
They are Zhang Long, Wang Xing, and Ma Qing.
His four bodyguards consist of two men and two women, working in pairs of one man and one woman. One pair is responsible for daytime protection, while the other is responsible for nighttime protection, providing 24-hour uninterrupted protection.
"boss!"
The seven men stood tall and straight before him, bowing respectfully.
"Ah."
Setting down his teacup, Shen Yan surveyed the seven men, quite satisfied. This was his core team; all seven were top talents in their respective fields.
He then said, "The reason I've gathered all seven of you here today is so that you can get to know each other and avoid any unpleasantness in the future."
"Besides that, I have some things for you to do, and at the same time, I want to understand the situation from you. Just tell me what's going on, so I can make the necessary arrangements."
"No problem, boss," the seven said in unison.
"it is good."
Shen Yan looked at Zhang Feng: "First of all, there's the issue of your accommodation and transportation. You've been staying in hotels all this time, which is really inconvenient. Within Shanghai, Chen Jie, Ma Tao, and Zhang Yuntian, you three can choose the location that's most convenient for you to travel in."
"And then there's your travel. As someone who belongs to Shen Yan, if you don't drive when you go out, it'll be a disgrace to me."
"I'll pay for this; consider it a gift from me to you as we meet."
"Thank you boss!"
Although Zhang Yuntian and the others were cyborgs, they still had feelings. Seeing how Shen Yan treated them, their eyes were filled with respect, excitement, and gratitude.
I wish I could die for him right now.
He raised his hand to smother the conversation, then looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Zhang Feng, my base is currently at COFCO Ocean View One, and I'll probably be living there for the next few years."
"I hope you can buy the apartments on both floors above and below my next-door neighbor's. Living there will better guarantee my personal safety."
"understand!"
Zhang Feng immediately responded that it concerned Shen Yan's safety. In fact, even if Shen Yan hadn't brought it up, she would have talked to him about it later.
The area around the accommodation must be strictly controlled.
There may only be four people protecting Shen Yan now, but there will be more and more in the future, so it is necessary to make arrangements in advance.
"Ah."
Shen Yan responded, then looked at Chen Jie: "What about you? Now that my arrangements are complete, do you have anything to do, or any thoughts after our interactions at the company these past two days?"
051 Money shouldn't be used to arm yourself, but rather as compensation for lost lawsuits? Car companies: Daddy, please choose us!
Upon hearing this, Ma Tao and Zhang Yuntian looked at Chen Jie, signaling him to speak first.
Seeing this, Chen Jie had no choice but to step forward and respectfully approach Shen Yan: "Boss, the company is doing well. Ma Tao and I have been screening the company's middle and senior management, and we should be able to finish the cleanup within about a month."
"Um...."
Shen Yan nodded and listened quietly. Cleaning up people was necessary. Who to clean up and who to keep had already been discussed before, so he wasn't surprised.
He raised his hand: "Tell me something I don't know."
"Yes."
Chen Jie responded, then revealed the new predicament the company was facing: "Boss, although the company is small, it has all the necessary functions, but as such, many people lack the necessary abilities."
"First of all, it's the company's legal department. The contract we negotiated with Jingyan yesterday was dragged down by the legal department."
"Then let's change it."
Shen Yan made the final decision, saying in a deep voice, "We live in a society governed by the rule of law. We need to have sufficient legal weapons to protect ourselves. This matter cannot be taken lightly."
“We can recruit from schools, or we can find established lawyers and law firms in society.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie offered his suggestion: "Boss, recruiting from schools might be feasible, but with our rapid development these days, we probably don't have time to train them. We could start by looking for suitable law firms in major cities like Shanghai."
"Oh?"
Hearing Chen Jie's words, Shen Yan looked at him, smiled and pointed at him: "You little rascal, it seems you were prepared. Then take out what you've prepared, let me see."
"The boss has a keen eye."
Upon being discovered, Chen Jie did not hesitate and pulled out a stack of documents from a folder next to him: "Boss, these are the information on well-known domestic lawyers and law firms that we selected last night."
"The one below is from overseas. They may not need it now, but it's better to be prepared."
"Okay, I'll take a look."
It must be said that Chen Jie and his team are very capable. They not only compiled the data, but also analyzed the areas of expertise of various law firms and lawyers, which was very comprehensive.
"Ok?"
"Quan Jing Law Firm?"
Suddenly, Shen Yan saw a familiar law firm name and paused. He vaguely remembered that it appeared in a TV series, and the male and female leads were in it.
To verify his hypothesis, he then took a closer look.
Luo Bin, He Sai, Gu Jie, Feng Yin.
Yes, it's them.
Seeing how carefully Shen Yan was looking, Chen Jie stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Boss, are you interested in Quan Jing Law Firm?"
"How capable are they?" Shen Yan asked instead of answering.
"A rising star among Shanghai law firms, the red-circled firms, whose partners have established themselves in the Shanghai legal community and have great potential. If given a few more years, they are expected to become one of the top ten in the country."
Chen Jie recounted what he knew.
"Contact them."
"In addition, we've contacted the one in Kyoto and the one in Shenzhen."
Shen Yan named two more law firms, speaking in a flat tone.
This puzzled Chen Jie: "Boss, we're partnering with three law firms all at once?"
"No cooperation, I want to buy."
Shen Yan casually uttered a statement that shocked everyone, as if these three law firms were already his for the taking.
???
No, boss, these are all top-tier firms, poised to break into the top ten, and you just casually say you want to buy them?!
Is this some kind of exaggerated claim?
"hiss...."
Chen Jie gasped and tentatively asked, "Boss, isn't this too extravagant and wasteful? After all, they are quite valuable."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up his teacup, and took a sip: "Money shouldn't be used to arm yourself; it can be used as compensation if you lose a lawsuit?"
"Lawyers have their own circles: the Beijing circle, the Shenzhen circle, the Shanghai circle..."
"This is just the beginning. Other major inland cities should also be included, but that's a matter for later."
This is a common phenomenon: you need money, but you also need connections.
Shen Yan chose to buy these three law firms because he valued their capabilities and the circles they belonged to.
Although Chen Jie had just returned to China, he had heard about the differences between China and other countries. After being given some pointers, he immediately understood and replied, "I understand."
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Chen Jie shook his head: "I don't have any for now, but Ma Tao does."
At this moment, Ma Tao came out: "Boss, I've been checking out various furniture manufacturing sites across the country these past two days, and I've initially selected three locations..."
Listening to Ma Tao's report, Shen Yan raised his hand: "You can talk about the problem."
"it is good."
Ma Tao turned the page and looked at the content, saying, "Because of copyright issues, we contacted these copyright holders for cooperation. It seems we've heard that the copyright fees are 10% higher than we expected."
"Secondly, if we directly recruit designers, we will face the problem of insufficient personnel because our demand is large."
"You mean there are few designers, and someone wants to make a quick buck from furniture design copyrights?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan frowned. Because this world places great importance on copyright, once infringement is involved, the odds are stacked against them. Therefore, if one wants to sell or produce some classic furniture, money is required.
Of course, Shen Yan could choose not to produce anything, since he had already set up a procurement area.
