Chapter 88 You decide what to do; I trust your judgment!
Several familiar figures from the early days of China's cryptocurrency circle in his previous life flashed through his mind: Li Xiaolai, Li Lin, Jiang Xinyu (Fried Cat)... However, these people were either already famous and difficult to control, or had complicated and impure backgrounds, or, like Fried Cat, their fates were unpredictable and their future uncertain.
Neither is suitable.
What he needs is a newcomer!
A promising newcomer still in school, with a technical background, a passion for cryptocurrency that is untainted and fully under his control!
Ye Fan's gaze gradually sharpened, and his thoughts became increasingly clear.
Target audience: University campuses! Ideally, university students majoring in finance or computer science who are about to graduate or have just graduated and have knowledge of or even research on Bitcoin!
After the start of the school year, we need to find such a suitable person.
..........
Step into the coffee shop.
The cool aroma of coffee mixed with soft jazz music wafted over, instantly soothing the fatigue and excitement of the morning.
His gaze swept quickly across the slightly dim but elegant space, immediately locking onto the booth by the window in the corner.
Liu Ruyan has arrived.
Today she wore a well-tailored off-white silk dress, which made her skin look even whiter than snow.
She was tilting her head slightly, intently looking at the tablet in her hand, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyelids, and the lines of her profile were as perfect as a sculpture.
That mature and intellectual charm and languid allure were completely different from the vibrant young girls I encountered in the mall that morning; it was like a tranquil deep sea, drawing people in and making them fall into its depths.
He walked over quickly.
Liu Ruyan seemed to sense something and raised her head.
The moment she saw Ye Fan, her calm, still eyes lit up, rippling with tenderness and affection, and a smile that could captivate any man appeared on her lips.
She put down her tablet, her voice soft and gentle, carrying an intimacy only they understood:
"Coming, honey."
He pulled out a chair and sat down, lowering his voice and responding with a smile:
"Hmm, have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just arrived a little while ago."
Liu Ruyan pushed a glass of iced Americano that she had already ordered in front of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan picked up the coffee cup, still damp with water droplets, and took a large, satisfying gulp. The cool coffee slid down his throat, refreshing him completely.
"Comfortable!"
Liu Ruyan smiled and joked:
"Speak, Boss Ye, what are your instructions for today?"
Ye Fan nodded, leaned forward slightly, and his expression became more serious:
"Have all the handover procedures for Xu Wen's building in Jinling been completed?"
"Yes, I've received the property certificate and the keys."
The tenderness in Liu Ruyan's eyes subtly faded, replaced by a sharp and clear glint:
"We're just waiting for our company to move in."
"it is good."
Ye Fan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, the rhythm slow and gentle:
"Time waits for no one. I have to report for duty on September 1st to officially start my university life. As for the company, we need to lay a solid foundation before I arrive, at least to make it look presentable and be able to start hiring people to do the work."
Liu Ruyan gazed intently at him, her eyes reflecting both the focus of a subordinate and the trust of a partner.
"Hmm, time is indeed a bit tight. What are your thoughts?"
Ye Fan met her gaze, his eyes gentle yet clear:
"I would like to ask you to fly to Nanjing as soon as possible in the next couple of days to get the basic work done on the site."
"no problem."
Liu Ruyan agreed without hesitation, with a hint of smugness:
"I was planning to go and take a look in person in the next couple of days. What do you think I, as your temporary manager, need to do?"
Ye Fan gave the instructions clearly and logically:
"First thing, the site! That building has been vacant for a while and needs a thorough cleaning and disinfection. Contact a professional cleaning company and have it handled to the highest standards."
"The second thing is to find a reliable design company to carry out the interior decoration and functional area division based on our previous plan. The reception area, office area, meeting rooms of various sizes, my office, your office, technical department, rest area, and tea room all need to be clearly defined. Everything needs to be clearly defined. You can control the budget, and try to complete the basic hard decoration before I start school. The soft decoration and office furniture can be added later."
"OK."
Liu Ruyan took out her phone and quickly took notes:
"I'll contact and screen design companies this afternoon, and the cleaning staff can be arranged to come in tomorrow."
Ye Fan was very satisfied with her execution ability:
"The third thing is the foundation team. We need to build up the core positions in administration, human resources, and finance as soon as possible. We need to build up the core personnel for these foundational positions first. You can recruit an HR person with human resources experience in Nanjing to be responsible for recruitment and daily administration. For the administrative receptionist, you can recruit a few recent graduates, as long as they are quick-witted."
Liu Ruyan nodded:
"Okay, I've noted that down. What about the hiring criteria? Especially the salary?"
Ye Fan picked up the small spoon she had placed in the cup, casually swirled it in the coffee, and spoke with a relaxed yet firm tone:
"As for salary, my principle is 20% higher than the normal market standard!"
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and the corners of her lips curled up:
"This standard is very attractive! Boss Ye is very generous! No problem, I'll implement it according to this standard."
She quickly jotted down the key points on her phone, adding:
"For the receptionist, I will focus on selecting someone who is quick-witted, has a good appearance, and is polite. Recent graduates or those with some experience are both acceptable. For cleaning and security, I plan to contact a reputable labor agency and will personally oversee the process to find people with clean backgrounds and reliable work habits."
Ye Fan nodded, his tone filled with trust:
"Okay, you decide. I trust your judgment."
He then emphasized:
"The key positions of administration, human resources, and finance will also be paid at a rate 20% higher than the market rate."
Liu Ruyan confirmed:
"I'll start recruiting HR, receptionists, cleaners, and security guards as soon as I arrive in Nanjing. The tech team is waiting for you, the talent scout, to personally select them."
She put down her phone, picked up her coffee, took a small sip, turned her gaze to Ye Fan, and smiled slightly.
"Is there anything else you need, honey?"
The way she called him "husband" was natural and affectionate, with a touch of playfulness.
Ye Fan's heart softened at her calling his name, and he shook his head with a smile:
"That's all for now. I mainly want to thank you for making this trip and being our pioneer."
Liu Ruyan reached out, across the table, and gently grasped Ye Fan's hand, her eyes tender yet firm:
"Why are you being so polite with me, honey! This company is my life's work and my career. Besides, I can handle all of this on my own, which makes me more flexible and quicker to make decisions."
She spoke casually, as if she were just talking about a routine business trip and setting up a new home.
"Um!"
Ye Fan took her hand in his, his fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand:
"With you here, I feel at ease."
Looking at Liu Ruyan's gentle features in the afternoon sunlight, the fatigue of the morning and the planning for the future transformed into a sense of peace and contentment in his heart.
A thought even flashed through his mind: perhaps he could consult her about Bitcoin trading? However, this thought was fleeting, and he decided to focus on the present.
