From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Perfecting the Company

"Hello, Boss!"

As soon as Su Chen stepped into the company, he saw Pei Rang and Secretary Li leading a group of people standing by the entrance, shouting in unison.

The grand display startled him.

Looking at the people behind Pei Rang, Su Chen was a little surprised.

He had originally thought the investment team Pei Rang poached from Wall Street would be all foreigners. He hadn’t expected to see so many Asian faces, and judging by their accents just now, they were most likely from Huaxia.

’This is interesting. I’ll have to ask what’s going on later,’ Su Chen thought to himself.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to Yunmengze Capital! I’m not going to paint you pretty pictures—let’s get straight to the real stuff. From now on, five percent of all profits will be distributed as bonuses!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was ecstatic and shouted, "Thank you, Boss!"

Su Chen had been fed plenty of empty promises in the past; he knew that only money was real.

Once everyone had celebrated enough, he spoke again. "Alright, get familiar with the office for now and get into the work mindset as soon as you can."

"Yes, Boss!"

Su Chen nodded and then gestured for Secretary Li and Pei Rang to follow him to his office.

As they walked toward the office, Su Chen noticed the company felt a bit empty. Besides him, Secretary Li, Pei Rang, and the dozen or so people from the investment team, there was no one else.

He stepped into the CEO’s office. The entire room was completely transformed, a world of difference from when Su Chen first saw it.

Su Chen sat in the boss’s chair and spun around once. Seeing that Pei Rang and Secretary Li were still standing, he quickly beckoned for them to sit.

After they were seated, Su Chen began, "The company has just been founded, and many things aren’t in place yet. I’ll have to ask the two of you to put in some extra effort."

"Of course, Boss!" Pei Rang was full of fighting spirit, but Secretary Li looked worried sick.

"Secretary Li, if you have something on your mind, just say it. No need to keep it to yourself."

"Boss, the company has many problems to solve right now. The first is a lack of personnel. Many positions are unfilled, so we can’t move forward with subsequent work."

"If there’s no one, then go hire people!"

Hearing Su Chen’s words, Secretary Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She was currently juggling multiple roles—HR, finance, and procurement were all her responsibility. But she was just a personal secretary! If she was in charge of hiring, there was no telling how long it would take. Besides, top-tier talent circulated through internal networks; without the right channels, it was impossible to recruit anyone!

Su Chen quickly understood. He smiled at Secretary Li and said, "You’ll have to work hard for a while. Once the company is on the right track, I’ll give you a ten-day vacation."

Su Chen paused here. "How about this... Contact Aik later and ask him when the CFO he found for me will be available."

"While you’re at it, give him a list of all the important positions the company is missing. I want to see those roles filled within three days!"

At Su Chen’s words, Secretary Li shot up from her seat. This was exactly what she had been waiting to hear. After saying, "I’ll contact Aik right away," she hurried out of the office.

Seeing this, Su Chen shook his head with a smile. Only then did he turn his gaze to Pei Rang. "Pei Rang, no problems on your end, I hope?"

"No problems!"

"Good. Have your team get in the zone. We only have a week. Once the company is staffed up in the next couple of days, we’ll hold an opening ceremony. After that, we’re heading straight to Xiangjiang. Don’t drop the ball when the time comes."

"Don’t worry, Boss!" Pei Rang was deeply moved by Su Chen’s trust in him.

Just based on his analysis, the boss was willing to put up a huge sum of money and let him take a shot. This was a legendary display of trust.

"By the way, I saw quite a few Asian faces in the investment team. Are they all from Huaxia?"

"Yes! They’re all from Huaxia. There are quite a lot of us working in finance on Wall Street, but the vast majority are low-level employees. Making it to middle management is already considered outstanding. As for senior executives..." Pei Rang shook his head helplessly as he trailed off.
