Chapter 35: Adding Four More Subordinates

That evening at home, Lin Haoran received a call from Su Zhixue.

Su Yan had already invited four colleagues to join a new job offer, with compensation far exceeding their current positions.

Upon hearing the news, all four readily agreed to the interview.

After all, one toils in the workplace for a salary; when a good opportunity arises, why cling to the old ground?

Therefore, the next morning, Lin Haoran made a point of arriving at the office half an hour earlier than usual.

By the time he arrived, Su Zhixue was already there. Not only that, but a man of similar age was standing beside him.

This was likely the unemployed colleague and friend he had mentioned.

"President Lin, please allow me to introduce you. This is my friend, Dai Shi," Su Zhixue said enthusiastically as soon as he saw Lin Haoran enter the office.

"Hello, President Lin! I am Dai Shi. It is a great honor to meet you," Dai Shi said with a polite smile, extending his hand.

Lin Haoran nodded and replied, "Hello, Mr. Dai. I have a general understanding of your background from Zhixue. Since you are already here, let's get straight to the point and begin the interview."

Lin Haoran himself came from a business school background, and having personally assisted Su Zhixue in managing trades during this period, he had naturally gained significant knowledge regarding stock trading. Consequently, his interview questions were almost entirely professional.

As for assessing character, Lin Haoran believed that such a conclusion could only be drawn through long-term observation in both work and life, rather than through simple Q&A.

Moreover, once Dai Shi became his employee, he would be able to observe Dai Shi's loyalty. If it proved too low, he simply wouldn't employ him.

Thus, he did not waste excessive time on this aspect.

After the interview concluded, Lin Haoran gave Mr. Dai Shi a high evaluation.

Similar to Su Zhixue, Dai Shi possessed five years of practical trading experience, which was undoubtedly extensive in the field of market operations.

In modern-day Hong Kong, with the rapid development of the financial industry, there was certainly no shortage of financial talent.

"Mr. Dai, I am basically satisfied with your background. Zhixue should have already discussed the compensation with you. In that case, let's sign the contract and start today!" Lin Haoran said decisively.

"Alright, President Lin. I look forward to the new job!" Dai Shi smiled.

Next, Lin Haoran took out the pre-prepared contract and non-disclosure agreement and handed them to Dai Shi.

After reviewing them, Dai Shi found no issues and signed his name on both documents.

At that moment, Lin Haoran saw Dai Shi's loyalty.

Dai Shi: [Loyalty: 71/100]

Seeing the loyalty score, Lin Haoran breathed a sigh of relief.

He had no desire to discard someone immediately after signing a contract, and now he felt at ease.

To have a loyalty score exceeding 70 right upon becoming an employee was beyond his expectations.

Based on Lin Haoran's recent in-depth research into loyalty, he understood that 50 served as a dividing line representing a "qualified" level, while a loyalty score above 60 was considered rare. Dai Shi's performance had exceeded this standard.

Lin Haoran believed that as time passed, Dai Shi's loyalty would increase further, allowing him to be employed with confidence.

"Congratulations, Mr. Dai Shi, on officially joining our family. Regarding the details of your upcoming work, Zhixue will introduce them to you one by one. There are only a few minutes left before the stock market opens; perhaps you can get a preliminary understanding of our main business operations first," Lin Haoran said with a smile, shaking Dai Shi's hand.

"President Lin, you are too kind. In the future, please just call me Dai Shi or Ah Shi. I am deeply honored to receive your recognition and employment. I will certainly give my all and not let your expectations down; I will contribute my full strength to the company!" Dai Shi replied solemnly.

In the following ten minutes, through Su Zhixue's detailed explanation, Dai Shi gradually gained a clear understanding of his new position.

He was surprised to find that he seemed to have joined an extraordinarily powerful team, backed by a big boss of no small significance.

In particular, when he learned that the company could mobilize tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in trading funds within just a single month, Dai Shi was profoundly shocked.

Such a scale of capital was not something an ordinary individual boss could easily manage; only large companies or major financial conglomerates could provide it.

He realized that he had not only secured a valuable job opportunity but was also standing on a platform that would allow him to truly showcase his abilities.

Dai Shi felt secretly fortunate to have joined this team so luckily.

He knew that such an opportunity was hard-won and must be cherished deeply, committing himself fully to his work to live up to this rare trust and expectation.

As this thought arose, Lin Haoran was surprised to find that Dai Shi's loyalty changed once again.

Dai Shi: [Loyalty: 75/100]

As the bells rang in the adjacent stock exchange hall, the day's stock trading officially commenced.

In the office, another telephone had been added.

As expected, with the addition of a professional trader, the speed of stock absorption today was much faster than yesterday.

Previously, although Lin Haoran had personally stepped in to help, he could not be considered a professional.

Dai Shi's arrival was like injecting a professional and efficient force into the team.

His professional knowledge was not inferior to Su Zhixue's; working together, they made the entire absorption process exceptionally smooth and efficient.

During the midday market break, Su Zhixue's other three colleagues arrived for their interviews.

The interview process was similar to Dai Shi's.

They were all colleagues of a similar age, so their experience was naturally not lacking, and Lin Haoran was initially satisfied with all of them.

Once they had all signed their contracts, Lin Haoran saw their loyalty scores.

Han Zixing: [Loyalty: 62/100]

Shi Zhensheng: [Loyalty: 61/100]

Qi Fen: [Loyalty: 62/100]

Compared to Dai Shi, the loyalty values of these three were ten percentage points lower.

This might have been related to the fact that Dai Shi had recently been unemployed, making his desire for a new job more urgent.

The other three colleagues were currently still employed in their original positions, so their sense of urgency regarding a new opportunity might not have been as intense as Dai Shi's. This psychological difference was reflected in their loyalty, which was entirely understandable.

Overall, the loyalty of the three was satisfactory to Lin Haoran.

"Everyone, I look forward to you completing your resignation procedures as soon as possible and joining our family." After signing the contracts, Lin Haoran shook hands with each of them.

According to them, they would handle their resignations within this week and could start working here next week.

With all six people in the office at once, Lin Haoran realized a serious problem: the office space was too small.

Originally, when only Lin Haoran and Su Zhixue were working, it seemed quite spacious.

But with four more people suddenly added, there was no longer enough room.

"It looks like it's time to move!" Lin Haoran remarked to himself.

He had already decided that after the market closed this afternoon, he would go look for a new office.

The "Superman" Li was about to make his move.
