They're already in university, and the primary school system is only just starting out?

Chapter 114 New Interns

"President Chen!" Zhu Jianqing strode excitedly to Chen Lin, grasping his hands firmly. "Your proposal is of immeasurable value to Huanrun!"

Seeing this, Chen Lin maintained his calm and collected smile and subtly withdrew his hand.

Without further hesitation, he took out his phone and sent a message to Huang Yiyi on WeChat.

Send us our technical service contract with Huanrun Pharmaceuticals; the amount is one million.

Huang Yiyi responded with an "OK" gesture almost instantly.

In less than ten seconds, a standard PDF contract was sent to Chen Lin's phone.

Chen Lin handed his phone to Zhu Jianqing and said with a smile, "Chairman Zhu, let's stick to what we agreed on before. Business is all about integrity."

Looking into Chen Lin's clear and open eyes, Zhu Jianqing felt an indescribable surge of admiration.

A child prodigy with exceptional mathematical skills, he was also humble and composed in his dealings with others, always knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

This young man is destined for great things!

Without saying another word, he took the phone and had Zhou Lele print and stamp it. Then, in front of Chen Lin, he personally called the group's financial director and demanded that one million be transferred to Yanhai Company's corporate account as quickly as possible.

The efficiency is astonishing.

Within ten minutes, Chen Lin's phone chimed with a WeChat message from Huang Yiyi.

[Mr. Chen, one million has been credited to your account. [Sprinkling flowers.jpg]]

"Chairman Zhu, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Chen Lin put away his phone and extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate! It's a pleasure to cooperate!" Zhu Jianqing shook hands firmly, his smile as bright as a blooming sunflower. "President Chen, to be honest, it's not that I'm being polite; I'm the one who should be thanking you! The value of your proposal far exceeds this mere one million yuan project budget!"

"The agreed-upon fee is what it should be," Chen Lin said with a smile.

This truly reflects his true feelings.

Although he wasn't exactly a seasoned veteran in the business world, the various part-time jobs he did during his first two years of university taught him a valuable lesson: raising prices arbitrarily is the most unethical and foolish thing to do.

Professor Gong Qin, who was standing to the side, watched this scene with a smile, picked up his teacup and took a sip. As if he couldn't stand Zhu Jianqing's act of taking a huge advantage and then acting innocent, he chimed in, "Old Zhu, just saying thank you doesn't mean you're sincere."

If you really feel bad about it, use your connections to introduce Chen Lin and his startup to a few more reliable projects. That would be far more meaningful than a thousand words of thanks.

"Hey, Lao Gong, what are you saying!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianqing immediately seized the opportunity, slapped his thigh, and said, "Do you even need to tell me? President Chen and I hit it off immediately!"

We need to stay in touch and visit each other more often from now on! Huanrun himself might still need to trouble Yanhai with a lot of business in the future!

Chen Lin watched as these two seasoned veterans from the business and academic worlds quickly finalized the future cooperation agreement for him, and he felt like he couldn't really get a word in edgewise.

He's still a bit green when it comes to dealing with people and situations.

Although he was undoubtedly the main character on the scene, he could only stand aside with a polite smile, nodding occasionally and saying polite phrases such as "Thank you, Professor Gong" and "Thank you, Chairman Zhu".

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Lin figured that if they continued talking, it would never end, so he took the initiative to say, "Chairman Zhu, Professor Gong, my return flight with Shen Yan is leaving in two hours, so we need to get ready to go to the airport."

"Oh dear, I was so happy I almost forgot about the important matter!" Zhu Jianqing slapped his forehead and immediately instructed Zhou Lele at the door, "Lele, arrange a company car right away to take President Chen and Miss Shen to the airport! Make sure it's our most comfortable business van!"

Chen Lin and Shen Yan stood up, shook hands with everyone to say goodbye, and then left the office accompanied by Zhou Lele.

Inside the black minivan, which was driving smoothly, the air conditioning was on full blast.

Chen Lin and Shen Yan sat side by side in the spacious and comfortable back seat. The long journey and the intense mental work had left them both feeling a little tired.

Chen Lin took out his phone and opened the WeChat group with only four members: [Yanhai Startup Team].

A slight smile played on his lips as his fingers flew across the screen.

Chen Lin: [Comrades! A big celebration for the company successfully securing two major orders! To recognize everyone's hard work, I've decided to treat everyone to dinner tomorrow night! Pick any place you like, no budget limit!]

As soon as the message was sent, Sun Yu's reply popped up, showing great support for Chen Lin.

Sun Yu: [The boss is generous.jpg]

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin felt Shen Yan beside him move slightly.

He turned his head and saw that she was also looking down, her finger lightly tapping on her phone screen.

Shen Yan: [Thank you, boss. [Happy]]

Huang Yiyi: [Thank you, boss. [Rose]]

Huang Yiyi: [However, Mr. Chen, I think tomorrow should be a day to celebrate double happiness.]

Chen Lin was taken aback and typed: 【Oh? Is there any other good news?】

Huang Yiyi sent a playful wink emoji: [I've already recruited a new administrative assistant for the company, as you requested. Tomorrow is a good day to introduce her to everyone and have her attend the celebration banquet; it'll be a welcome-back dinner for her.]

Chen Lin burst out laughing when he saw it.

Huang Yiyi's efficiency is truly remarkable!

Chen Lin: [That's definitely double happiness! Quickly, add the newcomer to the group so everyone can get to know each other.]

He genuinely felt that with only four people in the group now, sending a message sometimes felt rather quiet and lonely; having more people would make it more lively.

Huang Yiyi: [Well, the newbie said she wanted to surprise you in person tomorrow.]

surprise?

Chen Lin looked at those two words and felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.

Interns these days are quite interesting; they make a big fuss about joining the company.

However, the instant this thought flashed through Chen Lin's mind, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.

Wait a minute...

This unconventional style of doing things...

In addition, Huang Yiyi and Chen Lin decided on this themselves, and for convenience, the new employees were also interns recruited from Yannan University...

A bright, sunny smile and stylishly dressed, beautiful figure appeared in Chen Lin's mind.

Chen Lin secretly gasped.

No way?!

He subconsciously glanced at his side.

Shen Yan was probably really tired. She was leaning back in the soft chair with her eyes slightly closed. Her long eyelashes cast a small, quiet shadow on her fair cheeks. Her breathing was steady, and she seemed to have entered a state of rest.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Chen Lin felt a headache and a sense of unease.

Chen Lin rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling that the daily routines at the company in the future would probably be far more complicated than those world-class mathematical problems.
