Chapter 41: A Collective Increase in Loyalty

Facing the current urgent situation, Lin Haoran even stayed in Central through the weekend, without once considering returning to the comfort of the Lin family villa.

This office seemed to be a space tailor-made for him, seamlessly integrating work and life.

The first half was spacious and bright, serving as an efficient working area equipped with everything from desks to bookshelves. The layout was logical, ensuring smooth and comfortable operations.

The cleverly designed second half was a warm and private resting area. A meticulously arranged bedroom occupied this corner; though it was only about ten square meters, it was cozy and elegant.

Inside the bedroom, the Sealy mattress that Lin Haoran had carefully selected not long ago was soft and comfortable.

Adjacent to the bed was a compact yet fully functional bathroom, meeting all daily needs.

Most refreshing of all was the view: upon gently pulling back the curtains, the magnificent scenery of both sides of Victoria Harbour came into view. It was breathtakingly beautiful, as if even the landscape outside the window was cheering on this diligent striver.

The office and bedroom were cleverly separated by a wall, ensuring both focus and privacy during work, while allowing for a quick transition to a relaxed state when needed.

As for the two brothers, Li Weiguo and Li Weidong, Lin Haoran had naturally made proper arrangements for their accommodation in the adjacent departmental office.

This office was currently unused, so he had simply had a bunk bed purchased; when Lin Haoran stayed at the company, the two of them would stay in this room.

This weekend, while closely monitoring the current affairs of Hong Kong, Lin Haoran did not neglect the details of the company's operations.

He personally went through the human resources market to carefully select and recruit a new female receptionist for the company.

This new member was named Zhao Lin, aged 23, a recent graduate in Human Resource Management from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

While Zhao Lin was not a peerless beauty, her gentle and charming temperament, combined with her dignified and graceful manner, made her more than capable of handling the important position of company receptionist, serving as a bright window for the company's external image.

Lin Haoran was quite satisfied with Zhao Lin's performance and had officially signed an employment contract with her on behalf of Huanyu Investment, arranging for her to officially start work next Monday.

As the weekend quietly passed, another workday filled with challenges and opportunities arrived.

Today was Monday, October 9th.

By the time Lin Haoran, accompanied by two bodyguards, finished breakfast and stepped into the office, the time had quietly slipped past 8:50 AM.

At this moment, every corner of the company was brimming with vitality, and all employees, including both old and new staff, were at their posts.

Today, Huanyu Investment was vastly different from the past, appearing exceptionally lively.

At this time last week, aside from Lin Haoran and his personal bodyguards, only two colleagues, Su Zhixue and Dai Shi, were present, leaving the entire office feeling empty and quiet.

But today, with the addition of new members, the place radiated new life.

The front desk had gained Zhao Lin, a gentle and charming employee whose arrival added a bright touch to the reception area;

Meanwhile, the trading team welcomed three new members: Han Zixing, Shi Zhensheng, and Qi Fen. Their joining undoubtedly injected new vitality into the company's business operations.

"Good morning, President Lin!"

"Morning, President Lin!"

...

As Lin Haoran entered, waves of greetings rose from throughout the office as everyone offered him their sincere salutations.

"Good morning, everyone!" Lin Haoran greeted everyone warmly with a smile.

He then cleared his throat and continued, "Since everyone is here, I will briefly explain a few things. First, I want to introduce our new member, our receptionist, Zhao Lin. Zhao Lin will be responsible for receiving guests, handling daily administrative matters, and purchasing company supplies. Considering that the receptionist duties are relatively light at the moment, you will also temporarily be responsible for the daily cleaning and maintenance of the office. I have discussed these details with you during the interview, Zhao Lin. Are you okay with that?"

Zhao Lin nodded with a smile, replying confidently and calmly, "No problem, I will do my best in every task."

"Very good. Zhao Lin, please head to the front desk for now; I will notify you of your subsequent work arrangements in due course." Lin Haoran nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze toward Su Zhixue and the others. "Additionally, our trading team has grown today with the addition of three experienced members. There are still half an hour before the stock market opens, so I think we should use this time to hold a brief meeting to let the new employees understand our work content and our primary work deployment moving forward."

With that, Lin Haoran led the group toward the meeting room.

This meeting room was actually a converted former finance room. Although not large, it was perfectly capable of accommodating a meeting for six people.

Since Lin Haoran founded Huanyu Investment, because the company's trading processes were relatively simple and transparent, no dedicated finance position had been set up yet.

He personally controlled the company's finances to ensure every transaction was clear and error-free.

Of course, as the company's business continued to expand and become more complex, Lin Haoran already had long-term plans. When necessary in the future, he would consider adding a finance position to further standardize and improve the company's financial management system.

The trading team, including himself as the boss, consisted of exactly six people.

"Zhixue, please give everyone a detailed introduction to our previous work," Lin Haoran said gently, looking at Su Zhixue while sitting in the head seat of the meeting room.

"Certainly, President Lin." Su Zhixue stood up and began his introduction in an organized manner.

Previously, due to confidentiality principles, the specific details of the team's work had not been disclosed to the three new members, but now that they had joined, it was time to share this important information.

Su Zhixue provided a detailed review of every key step and achievement of the team's past, ensuring that every member gained a comprehensive and deep understanding of the team's history and current status.

Following Su Zhixue's detailed explanation, the three new members—Han Zixing, Shi Zhensheng, and Qi Fen—gained a much clearer understanding of the work they were about to undertake and the company's strength.

Their eyes sparkled with increasing brightness, and the excitement and relief in their hearts were beyond words.

Recalling their first interview in that slightly cramped little office, they had held some reservations and doubts about this job, but at this moment, all those concerns had vanished.

The spaciousness, brightness, and superior location of the new office not only brightened their moods but also invisibly strengthened their confidence in and sense of belonging to the company.

Furthermore, the transaction scales of tens of millions mentioned by Su Zhixue made them deeply realize the extraordinary strength and vast prospects of this investment company.

At this moment, Lin Haoran noticed that the loyalty of the three of them had inadvertently increased to varying degrees.

Han Zixing: [Loyalty: 72/100]

Shi Zhensheng: [Loyalty: 70/100]

Qi Fen: [Loyalty: 71/100]
