Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 144 Equity Dilution, 50 Million Received! (Part 2)

Located on the 37th floor of the Park Hyatt Hangzhou, Yuexuan Chinese Restaurant is a Black Pearl Two-Diamond restaurant specializing in Jiangzhe and Cantonese cuisine.

The interior is decorated with Suzhou embroidery screens, and the waitresses wear cheongsams, creating a strong classical Chinese atmosphere, making it a popular choice for high-end business banquets.

Fu Yangkai was sitting by the window, with a panoramic view of the beautiful Qiantang River outside.

To be honest, he was a little flattered. So this was the kind of "casual meal" that Chen Yan was talking about.

Chen Yan handed over the menu with a smile: "Engineer Fu, order whatever you like."

Fu Yangkai waved his hand, looking a little embarrassed: "President Chen, I'm fine with anything, just order whatever you want."

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on it then."

As Chen Yan flipped through the menu, he said to Kong Zhenbang, "Zhenbang, could you first introduce our 'Boss Direct Recruitment' project to Engineer Fu?"

Kong Zhenbang has just taken some photos of the restaurant environment, along with a few photos of the ground viewed from above, and is currently editing them for his WeChat Moments.

Caption: 【ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh, dragged to another business dinner by the boss. Poor working class!】

Upon hearing Chen Yan's instructions, he immediately clicked "send" on the Versailles-themed WeChat Moments post.
Then I started talking to Fu Yangkai about the current progress and framework setup of [Boss Zhipin].

Both were programmers and alumni, so they quickly got into a lively conversation. Chen Yan couldn't understand many of the technical terms and had nowhere to chime in.

Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere among the three had become quite familiar, and Chen Yan asked Fu Yangkai if he would be willing to switch jobs and come work for him.

Fu Yangkai frowned, seemingly hesitant.

Chen Yan tentatively asked, "Does Engineer Fu have any concerns?"

After a moment's hesitation, Fu Yangkai voiced his concerns:

"Mr. Chen, I have high hopes for the [Boss Direct Recruitment] project. However, for a project to succeed, creativity alone is far from enough. The key is whether it can be promoted."

Chen Yan smiled slightly; he understood Fu Yangkai's subtext.

What he really meant was: "Do you know how much money it takes to promote software?" "I'm doing just fine at ByteDance, they just raised $3000 million recently, what about you? How much cash is in your company's account? How long can it last?"

Well, looks like it's time to show off our muscles.

“Engineer Fu, I was with the SVP of Tencent’s investment department yesterday. He just invested 5000 million in me,” Chen Yan said casually.

"what?"

Fu Yangkai couldn't believe it. "But hasn't [Boss Direct Recruitment] been developed yet?"

Chen Yan laughed casually: "If it's developed, I wouldn't care about 5000 million. I'd at least add a US dollar to it."

Kong Zhenbang ate his food silently, not daring to say a word.

He thought to himself that the boss was indeed different. Even though [Boss Direct Recruitment] only raised 2000 million, he could say it was 5000 million in a serious manner.

Actually, Chen Yan wasn't wrong. He only said that Tencent invested 5000 million yuan in him, but he didn't say that it was all invested in [Boss Zhipin].

However, upon hearing this, Fu Yangkai's expression clearly began to change: "If I join, what about the compensation..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan knew the matter was settled and immediately gave Kong Zhenbang a wink.

Kong Zhenbang was also quite sensible and got up to go to the restroom.

Only Chen Yan and Fu Yangkai remained sitting opposite each other at the dining table.

Chen Yan looked at Fu Yangkai and said sincerely, "Engineer Fu, Zhenbang mentioned to me that your current monthly salary at ByteDance is 35k. I'll increase it to 50k and give you an option contract as well. How about that?"

Fu Yangkai thought for about 10 seconds, then stood up and extended his right hand: "President Chen, I am willing to join."

Chen Yan smiled and reached out to shake his hand: "Welcome to the team! A few years from now, I believe you will be glad you made this choice today."

By the time Kong Zhenbang returned, Fu Yangkai was already about to leave.

"Mr. Chen, I'll go back to Beijing to submit my resignation first, then pack my things and fly over."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

Chen Yan originally wanted to take Fu Yangkai to the airport again, but Fu Yangkai firmly refused, saying, "I'm already your employee, how can I let the boss take me there personally?" So, this glorious task was handed over to Kong Zhenbang.

The entrance to the Park Hyatt Hotel.

Chen Yan instructed, "Zhenbang, remember to buy Engineer Fu a first-class ticket back to Beijing. If you're not in a hurry, you can also take him to get some relaxation therapy. The company will reimburse all expenses."

"Don't worry, boss, leave it to me, I'll definitely make sure my senior is satisfied!"

……

the other side.

Chenjia Village, Cixian County.

Today is Saturday, and neither He Juan nor Chen Guodong went to work at the factory; they stayed home to rest.

At the dinner table, He Juan was complaining to her husband:
"Old Chen, look at this, what good is a son you've raised for eighteen years?"

"Today is International Women's Day, and this little brat didn't even say 'Happy Women's Day'!"

"It's so much better to raise a daughter! Daughters are so sweet. Look at Zhixin and Yusang, they not only sent me 'Happy Mother's Day, Auntie,' but they also sent me a red envelope!"

Old Chen listened with a smile, not forgetting to boast to himself: "Wife, I'm the best to you, I went to the market early this morning to buy you a bouquet of flowers."

"Go away, go away~ Don't buy it next time, save the money for our son's future wedding."

Although He Juan said that, there was a smile in her eyes.

Ever since Jiang Zhixin and Ruan Yusang visited Chen Yan's home during the last Spring Festival, Empress Dowager He has added both girls on WeChat and they chat with them occasionally.

However, Empress Dowager He was not good at being a scumbag, and once she almost caused a disaster.

The reason for this was that she first sent Jiang Zhixin a message: "Zhixin, I saw in the weather forecast that it will be colder tomorrow, remember to wear more clothes."

After sending it, Empress Dowager He copied and pasted the message and sent it to Ruan Yusang, but she regretted it as soon as she sent it!
The name hasn't been changed yet!!
Fortunately, WeChat updated its version a couple of days ago and added a "recall" function.

Empress Dowager He reacted swiftly, retracting the message in milliseconds.

"Hu~~"

Seeing that the message had been successfully withdrawn, Empress Dowager He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart had been pounding in her throat!
After calming down, she dialed Chen Yan's number directly.

As soon as Chen Yan answered the call, he was inexplicably berated...

Afterwards, Chen Yan thoughtfully sent a message to his father: "Dad, Mom is going through menopause recently, so don't upset her."

……

Meanwhile, inside a small apartment in Hangzhou.

Jiang Muyun, holding a bouquet of flowers, walked up to a beautiful woman in a business suit and said, "Mom, Happy Women's Day!"

The beautiful woman was wearing a gray uniform, with a white shirt over a blazer. The shirt wasn't loose, and her bust was stretched high, her ample bosom trembling as if it were about to burst out.

She is Jiang Muyun's mother, Wen Suya.

When Wen Suya saw the flowers, her eyes lit up with surprise, and she smiled broadly, "Wow, so beautiful, thank you, my darling daughter."

She placed the flowers in a vase in the living room, then gently hugged Jiang Muyun:

"Okay, you can watch TV for a while. Mom has to take a client to see a house. I'll cook you something delicious when I get back tonight."

"Okay, Mom, remember to rest more and don't overwork yourself."

Jiang Muyun gave her instructions.

"Oh dear, Mom isn't tired at all right now."

As Wen Suya put on her high heels at the door, she said, "Last time you told Mom not to work two jobs, I already turned down that sewing job tonight. Now I'm usually at the shop, and when there are clients, I take them to see houses. It's very easy."
