Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 121 - 50: Acquisition (Part 2)

"I think Uncle Shen fits the requirements perfectly."

"Really?" Fang Zheng looked doubtful:

"Did you two know each other before?"

"No, we didn't!"

"Definitely not!"

The two emphatically denied in unison.

"Hmm."

Fang Zheng remained noncommittal:

"The pre-tax salary is twelve thousand a month, not bad, right?"

"Xiao Han."

He looked at the company's legal advisor:

"You seem a bit reluctant, don't you?"

"..." Xiao Han gave a dry laugh:

"No."

"Boss Xie is overestimating me."

He was indeed unwilling, as Wan Dandan couldn't find anyone else, she half-requested, half-threatened him to come over.

"You're welcome."

Fang Zheng naturally didn't know the inside story and thought his kingly aura had overwhelmed them, causing the other person to bow down instantly. He got up and asked:

"After so many days, you've only managed to recruit a few people?"

"Yes," Wan Dandan said in a low voice: 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"You said our company has infinite potential, and we should prefer empty spots over unqualified hires."

"Alright then!"

Fang Zheng had nothing much to say, waved his hand broadly, and said:

"Gentlemen! Listen to me!"

"Hmm?"

"Ah!"

"..."

"Ahem..." Fang Zheng coughed lightly to cover his awkward expression and continued:

"Although our company is a startup, I am full of confidence in its future, and you all are the company's first batch of founding members."

"If by luck we become rich, do not forget each other!"

"When the company goes public, boss here makes big money, I will definitely not forget you all!"

"Let's set a small goal first..."

"Make a hundred million in six months!"

"Do you have the confidence?"

The room fell silent.

The few employees exchanged glances, obviously lacking in confidence.

Paused a bit.

"We have confidence!"

Wan Dandan waved her small hand, face full of enthusiasm:

"The boss will definitely make a hundred million!"

"Good," Fang Zheng shot her an appreciative look, worthy of being the first employee I personally recruited, at least she didn't let the boss down.

"Well then..."

"We officially start work from today!"

"Boss," the chubby Zhu Yang blinked and asked:

"Start just like that? Not having an opening ceremony?"

"No need to bother with that, boss here only cares about results, not other things," Fang Zheng waved his hand:

"Was Ma Yun's startup of Alibaba lively? Did Lei Jun make a big fuss when starting Xiaomi? Bill Gates..."

"Boss."

Shen Ze said:

"The Wenchang Mansion property management said they'll send a congratulatory gift when we officially start work, and the company opposite also asked when we're opening, likely intending to send gifts too."

"Oh!" Fang Zheng changed his tone, pulled out two hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it to Wan Dandan:

"Dandan, go downstairs and buy two pots of flowers to place at the entrance, get some red paper and write 'Grand Opening' on it. Will this money be enough?"

"I think it's enough?" Wan Dandan hesitated a bit.

"If there's extra, buy me a cup of milk tea."

Fang Zheng waved her off and then said:

"Chubby, go inform the property management, let them know we're opening today, anything for gifts is fine, ideally something that could offset some property fees."

"Yes."

Zhu Yang agreed.

"Xiao Han."

"Here."

"Come with me to check out the company opposite, see if we can secure a contract since we're newly opening."

"Okay."

Tongchuang Investment Co., Ltd.

The gilded characters, ancient and elegant, the logo in view exudes a fashionable modern flair, yet doesn't lack a traditional, retro feel.

"Boss."

Xiao Han whispered:

"Tongchuang is one of Tiansheng's subsidiaries, while Tiansheng belongs to the top-tier investment companies in the country, with open funds scaling tens of billions and a daunting influence range."

"So, although Tongchuang isn't well-known in Qu City, it actually has astonishing power."

"Hmm."

Fang Zheng nodded, pushed the door, and entered.

"Sir," the front desk lady politely bowed:

"Do you have an appointment?"

"I'm the boss of the company opposite, Fang Zheng." Fang Zheng gestured behind him, and said:

"We're having our opening today, just came by to say hello."

"The boss of Square Porcelain," the front desk lady's eyes lit up. The biggest news in the company these days was about what the company opposite is doing and who the boss is.

She immediately said:

"Mr. Fang is truly young and promising, already having such a big business at your age, please wait a moment, I'll inform Manager He."

"Manager He?" Fang Zheng was slightly intrigued:

"Is your boss around?"

"Boss?" the lady smiled:

"Are you referring to our chairman?"

"Yes."

"That I'm not sure about."

"Miss," Fang Zheng took a step forward and said:

"I'm friends with your chairman. If he knows I'm here, he'd surely be willing to see me."

"Is that so?" The front desk maintained her polite yet distant expression:

"If you have the chairman's phone number, you could call him directly. I can't notify the chairman myself."

Many people come claiming to be the chairman's friends.

In reality, they're all just a facade.

"Alright then!"

Fang Zheng put away his phone:

"Though I do know Boss Lu, I indeed don't have his number."

"Boss Fang!"

While speaking, Manager He smiled and came forward to greet:

"I've heard so much about you! I often saw construction at your place, yet never got to meet Boss Fang, finally, we meet in person today."

"All good."

Fang Zheng laughed and said:

"Manager He, I wonder if I could meet your chairman?"

"This..." Manager He's face tightened a little:

"Does Boss Fang have some business?"

"Can't I meet him without business?" Fang Zheng squinted slightly, somewhat displeased:

"Boss Lu sure is a busy man."

Manager He gave an awkward chuckle.

"Forget it."

Fang Zheng waved his hand, bored:

"I had planned to discuss potentially acquiring Fugui Porcelain Factory with Boss Lu, but since he's so busy, I guess we won't now."
