I am not just a tycoon

It is easy to get rid of someone once they've served their purpose, but right now, Shen Yuan has no one else he can use.

A health check center is neither too big nor too small. However, managing it properly still requires a certain level of competency.

Following that, Shen Yuan called Fu Yingzi to his office and at the same time transferred 10,000 yuan to her salary on WeChat.

This young secretary had been working in the Human Resources department for two days. In the morning, HR Director Zhong Yu had praised her in front of Shen Yuan for being smart, quick to learn, and capable.

Shen Yuan, of course, knew that Zhong Yu was just sucking up to him, especially since Fu Yingzi was someone he had personally brought in. In their eyes, Fu Yingzi was one of his "trusted aides".

Otherwise, how could you tell anything about Fu Yingzi's abilities after just two days on the job and still adapting?

"Boss, what's up?"

Fu Yingzi entered the office looking lively. Compared to her student attire, she had changed into a slightly more formal professional outfit.

She wore a light blue blouse paired with black straight-leg pants. With a good waistline and a height of at least 172 cm, she didn't look sloppy in the outfit, but rather had a bit of a city beauty's charm.

If you really had to nitpick, the only flaw might be that her buns were a bit too small.

"Nothing much, just asking how things are going with your class, whether you're adapting well."

"It's okay."

Fu Yingzi paused and said, "I've only been here for two days, still getting familiar with everything. But, my colleagues and leaders have been quite friendly to me."

Shen Yuan smiled. Of course they'd be friendly, no one in the company would dare to offend you.

However, this had its pros and cons. The advantage was that Fu Yingzi's work operations would likely go very smoothly; the disadvantage was that it would be more difficult for her to learn some of the company's secrets from her colleagues.

Of course, this would also depend on Fu Yingzi's own ability to handle interpersonal relationships.

"Alright, get to know all the roles quickly, and once you're familiar, talk to Manager Zhong about transferring to another position."

"You're getting two salaries now, 10,000 from me, and the company will pay you another one."

"You've been working for me for almost a month; I've already transferred your first month's pay to you. Check it out."

The company's official salary wasn't high. For example, as a Human Resources Assistant like she was doing now, it was just a little over 3,000. The bulk of her income was the 10,000 Shen Yuan paid her.

This secretary had been with him from the start, performing well in all aspects. Of course, she ought not to be shortchanged.

Fu Yingzi's eyes lit up, and she quickly took out her phone to confirm it.

When she saw the pending receipt of a solid 10,000 yuan, Fu Yingzi's mood blossomed like a flower.

"Thank you, Boss!"

To think that this was her first paycheck, even though she had expected it, the bright shine of those four zeros made her 21-year-old heart burst with joy.

Considering the current salary levels in society, an intern or a college graduate like her would earn three to four thousand a month in her field.

But here she was, just in her third year of university, already earning three times as much as her peers, and actually even more when adding the company's salary, amounting to four times!

By that calculation, her salary was even higher than that of her parents working in the factory combined!

Before Fu Yingzi could recover from her excitement, Shen Yuan dropped another significant incentive: "Work hard, and two months later, I'll get you a car worth 200,000 yuan.

Shen Yuan had almost forgotten about this loyalty incentive if it weren't for Fu Yingzi.

Just by working for him for three months, Fu Yingzi could earn a car consumer grant of 200,000 yuan.

The first person to trigger this incentive was the speakeasy manager Siao Siyao, although she hadn't completed three months yet either.

Shen Yuan did not intend to use this incentive lightly; it would only go to loyal subordinates like Fu Yingzi.

"Huh? A 200,000 yuan car?"

Fu Yingzi was stunned, "Boss, can I really take that to the bank?"

Shen Yuan replied with a smile, "Would I lie to you?"

Hearing such a response from Shen Yuan, Fu Yingzi didn't hesitate at all to believe him. Shen Yuan, in her opinion, was a wealthy and unfathomable boss; he had never gone back on his word.

"Boss is so generous!"

"Boss is mighty!"

Fu Yingzi couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

"Okay, that's enough, now get back to work."

"Sure thing."

Fu Yingzi was overjoyed. If she wasn't at the company, she would've really liked to jump around on the spot.

Just a month ago, if anyone had told her she'd soon be earning over ten thousand a month and would own her own car, she would have never believed it.

And now it had come true!

As she was about to push open the glass door, Fu Yingzi suddenly remembered something and turned her head to ask:

"Boss, aside from Lu Xinyue's investment, the projects of the other four girls from school haven't been settled yet. They have been asking me about it a lot lately."

"Hmm, no rush on that, let it sit for a while."

Since the boss had a plan, Fu Yingzi didn't press further and left the office light-heartedly.

As for Shen Yuan, he believed that you have to eat one bite at a time, and the same went for recruiting his 'maid brigade' – there was no need to rush.

....

Meanwhile, Jia Nanshou returned to the health check center and called over Yu Jifeng, the manager in charge of the marketing and customer service departments.

"Jifeng, the people you recruited, their business skills should be up to par, right? I just made a promise to the boss, so you better not let me down."

Yu Jifeng, around thirty-five years old, replied confidently, "Rest assured, Mr. Jia. These salespeople are my former subordinates from the last company. Whether it's their network resources or business skills, they're up to the mark. They should be able to secure orders quickly."

"That's good. How well we do in the health check center in the coming days depends on your performance."

"Yes, yes."

"Off you go."

After Yu Jifeng left the office, Jia Nanshou pressed his temples.

Yu Jifeng had previously suggested that to generate revenue, the health check center needed to bolster its business backbone. But Jia Nanshou was somewhat wary of him.

Yu Jifeng was young and capable. If a few more revenue-creating business elites were brought in, Yu Jifeng's prestige within the center would grow even further.

This could potentially impact Jia Nanshou's stable position as the general manager of the health check center.

What's even more important is that now that they have a new boss, if Yu Jifeng enters the new boss's radar, he is very likely to lose his position as general manager.

But under the current circumstances, they couldn't do without him.

To Yu Jifeng, Lih Xiao had become a double-edged sword, and he had made up his mind that after this business revenue boost, he would find an excuse to get rid of Yu Jifeng.

When it came to getting rid of a donkey after grinding the corn, Jia Nanshou definitely wouldn't be softhearted.

Jia Nanshou was up late drinking last night and was preparing to take a nap when Old Sun suddenly called him.

Old Sun was the general manager of one of the fitness centers at Jingfu, and they had a good relationship. They would sometimes meet up for a foot massage.

However, what Jia Nanshou found somewhat irritating was that Old Sun always competed with him for the number 18 technician.

"Old Jia, heard you went to the company headquarters today? What did the boss talk to you about?"

Old Sun's inquiry came through the phone.

"Profit issues."

Jia Nanshou sighed, "The health check center hasn't generated revenue for the company for a whole quarter. The boss is taking his first anger out on me."

"Ha ha, with your ability, Old Jia, whether to increase profits or not, isn't that just a word from you?"

Old Sun chuckled on the other end of the phone.

"Enough, let's not mutually flatter each other in business matters. If I were that capable, would I still be working for others?"

Jia Nanshou was feeling sleepy and spoke directly, "You're calling about the new boss, aren't you?"

"Ha ha, you can't hide anything from you."

"I know you too well."

Jia Nanshou said with a smile.

In fact, not only was Shen Yuan investigating the backgrounds of a few senior managers, but they were also trying to understand Shen Yuan's situation.

After all, everyone's position was unstable with a new boss in charge.

Jia Nanshou thought for a moment and said, "Honestly, I went to his office today, and I didn't figure out much."

Old Sun on the phone immediately became somewhat discontented, "What does that mean? Old Jia, with our many years of friendship, you wouldn't be hiding any intelligence, would you?"

"Really, there's nothing."

Jia Nanshou frowned slightly, "He just asked me about the profit situation at the health check center and the solutions. Other than that, we talked about some trivial matters."

"What puzzles me is that he even wanted to know about my family situation."

"Another thing is, I feel like he doesn't come across as a young person. He speaks and acts very maturely, and during our chat, I couldn't figure out his depth or know how much he really knows about me."

"In short, I just feel very uneasy."

Jia Nanshou was actually a bit guilty. He had skimmed quite a bit off the top at the health check center, and his family members were in all the key departments.

Hearing what Jia Nanshou had to say, Old Sun's tone changed:

"At first, I thought the new boss was a top-notch rich second generation, using his parents' money to buy the company to practice running a business. Now, hearing what you're saying, it doesn't seem that simple."

"Yeah."

Jia Nanshou agreed with that opinion and sighed helplessly, "Anyway, just be on your guard. Do your job well. Our new boss isn't an ordinary guy."

"Mmm, that's all we can do."

"...."

Shen Yuan had scheduled a session in the afternoon to coach Lih Xiao. However, she wouldn't be available until after 2 PM.

So Shen Yuan called Chen Na to say he would return for lunch, and then he drove away from the company.

When he returned to Songhu Tiandi at 12:30 PM, Chen Na had already prepared a table full of dishes, filling the room with aromatic scents.

At the same time, Shen Yuan seemed not to see Shen Xuan anywhere.

While changing his shoes, Shen Yuan asked, "Where's my sister? Why isn't she here?"

Chen Na carried a bowl of rice out of the kitchen, "Xuanxuan left in the morning. She said she was taking an aunt and uncle to Sanya."

"Oh, I see."

Shen Yuan finished changing shoes, took the rice from Chen Na, and then reached for the dishes with his chopsticks.

Chen Na knew he was working out, so she cooked beef, chicken, and shrimp without putting in too much oil or condiments. The food was light, which was beneficial for Shen Yuan at this stage.

During the meal, Shen Yuan glanced at his sister-in-law across the table, "Xinyu, you've signed up for driving school, right? When will you start practical lessons?"

Chen Xinyu was eating with her head down and didn't expect the conversation to suddenly turn to her; she felt a bit embarrassed and said:

"I... I'm still practicing for the first subject tests; I plan to start driving lessons after passing the first subject."

Shen Yuan nodded, "Okay, no rush."

Chen Na glanced at her sister Chen Xinyu, puzzled. Although her sister had known Shen Yuan for more than a day or two, why did she still speak so timidly to him?

Chen Na knew her sister was shy, but others usually opened up more after a few interactions. She had rarely seen this kind of situation.

Chen Na couldn't read her sister's mind; she had no idea that Chen Xinyu had started to harbor inexplicable feelings for her brother-in-law.

Not to mention, there was a one-sided "heart-to-heart" encounter in the bathroom the previous night.

After lunch, Chen Xinyu took the initiative to go to the kitchen to do the dishes, while Chen Na took Shen Yuan's hand and led him to the bedroom.

"Shen Yuan, I went to IFC Mall this morning and bought a few suits for you, two pairs of shoes, a belt, and a watch."

Shen Yuan hadn't expected Chen Na to be so quick, completing the task he had given her yesterday in one day.

The shopping bags were mostly Zegna and Brioni, both luxury menswear brands geared towards business attire. Explore new worlds at empire

"How much did it cost?"

Shen Yuan casually picked up a shopping bag and asked.

"A little over a million?"

"How much?"

"Um... mainly it's that Audemars Piguet watch. It cost over 800,000."
