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

Chapter 100 I have no interest in money either

Looking at the "King of Curry" duo in front of him, Chen Lin felt both amused and exasperated.

Good heavens, my company is barely started, we don't even have computers yet, and these two are already actively competing against each other?

"Stop! Halt!"

Chen Lin quickly stepped forward, placing his hand between the two, and said helplessly, "Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry? Shen Yan just flew back from out of town today; let her rest today, shall we?"

He took the handle of his suitcase from Shen Yan and said without room for argument, "That's all for today. Brother Sun, you continue with your research. Assistant Huang, you go about your shopping. I'll take Shen Yan back to her dorm first."

With the boss speaking, Sun Yu and Shen Yan naturally couldn't insist any further.

Sun Yu scratched his head sheepishly and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Shen Yan raised her head, her clear eyes quietly looking at Chen Lin, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards into a beautiful arc.

After leaving the co-working space building, I walked along the tree-lined path back to the dormitory area.

The afternoon sun shines through the lush foliage, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The cicadas chirp noisily in the air, and the fresh scent of grass and earth fills the air.

Chen Lin pulled Shen Yan's silver suitcase with one hand, the wheels of the suitcase making a soft "gurgling" sound on the cement road. The two walked side by side, neither of them speaking, but the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious and peaceful.

"Oh, right," Shen Yan said, as if she had suddenly remembered something. She stopped and turned to look at Chen Lin, "the school has already distributed the prize money from the modeling competition. It's a total of 12,000 yuan."

As she spoke, she naturally took out her phone from her pocket, unlocked it, opened WeChat, and her fingers flew across the screen.

Before Chen Lin could react, his phone vibrated with a "ding".

He instinctively took it out and saw a WeChat transfer notification on the screen.

Shen Yan transferred 6000.00 yuan to you.

Looking at the number "6000" on his phone screen, Chen Lin was overwhelmed with emotion.

If it had been before this week, I probably would have been a little excited to see this "huge sum" of six thousand dollars.

But now—

Six thousand yuan.

For him, whose net worth is now as high as 23 million and who earns 4.6 million a month from the passive income of his "little financial advisor" job, this amount of money is hardly even considered "money".

Chen Lin felt that his heart was no longer stirred.

At that moment, Chen Lin suddenly understood with profound clarity what kind of mindset that famous English teacher in Lin'an City had when he said, "I have no interest in money."

Well, I'm not interested in money either.

However, he still looked up and gave Shen Yan a smile.

"Thanks, boss!"

Looking at his grinning face, Shen Yan's clear eyes also softened with a smile, and she softly hummed in agreement.

"Oh, right," she said, as if remembering something, "I don't have anything else planned for the summer vacation, so how about I officially report to the company tomorrow?"

"So soon?" Chen Lin raised an eyebrow in feigned surprise. "Not planning to rest for a couple more days? I don't do the 996 thing. Our company emphasizes a balance between work and rest."

Shen Yan shook her head, her tone serious and matter-of-fact: "Otherwise, you'll just be studying in the library anyway, so you might as well come and get familiar with the job sooner."

"Sure, of course no problem!" Chen Lin immediately nodded in agreement. He couldn't wait for a top student like Shen Yan to help him find more business.

He thought for a moment and then added, "When you come tomorrow, please bring all the books and materials you used to study in the library."

"Hmm?" Shen Yan looked at him with some confusion.

Chen Lin chuckled, revealing a "friendly" smile: "Our company is just starting out, so there might not be much business in the early stages. If there's no work to do, you can study in the office. Don't worry, you'll still get paid. As the boss, I strongly encourage employees to legally slack off during work hours."

"

Shen Yan was amused by his twisted logic, and a slight smile, like the first melting of snow, bloomed on her beautiful face.

"Okay," she replied softly.

After escorting Shen Yan to the girls' dormitory, the two said a brief goodbye.

Chen Lin watched her pull her suitcase into the dormitory gate until the white figure completely disappeared from his sight before he turned around and walked briskly towards the co-working space.

As he walked, he mentally calculated the company's current staffing levels.

Shen Yan's arrival has given the company's business team its initial form.

Currently, Sun Yu and Shen Yan are responsible for business coordination.

Sun Yu's advantage lies in his social experience and his ability to deal with clients, translating diverse and imaginative demands into relatively standardized technical language.

Shen Yan, on the other hand, with her professional knowledge and learning ability, can quickly understand the technical barriers in those high-tech fields and can be responsible for the part of the clients whose needs Sun Yu cannot understand.

but----

Chen Lin knew very well that, in the end, these two were just his "accessories".

-

They are responsible for "presenting" the problems, but the core technical aspects of ultimately solving them still have to be handled by their own "little mathematicians" who have extraordinary abilities.

Therefore, two people are sufficient for the business team for the time being.

On the contrary, it's Huang Yiyi's side—

Chen Lin frowned slightly.

Purchasing, legal affairs, administration, human resources, finance—all the mundane tasks that keep the company running smoothly now fall on Huang Yiyi's shoulders.

Although she is exceptionally capable and handles these matters with ease, this is certainly not a sustainable solution in the long run.

Once the company is on track and business picks up, she will be incredibly busy.

We need to find her a helper.

Having made up his mind, Chen Lin quickened his pace.

Back on the second floor of the co-working space, Huang Yiyi and Sun Yu were still busy with their own tasks.

Sun Yu was wearing headphones, writing furiously on the densely packed data on his computer screen, muttering to himself, clearly completely immersed in researching potential clients.

Huang Yiyi was on the phone, seemingly communicating with an office furniture supplier about delivery times. She spoke steadily and clearly, finalizing all the details in just a few words.

Seeing Chen Lin return, Huang Yiyi quickly ended the call and stood up to report: "President Chen, the office desks, chairs, and computers have all been ordered. The supplier has promised that they will all be delivered, installed, and tested by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Lin nodded, then directly stated his thoughts, "Assistant Huang, I was thinking about this on my way back. You're the only one in the company currently handling administration and legal matters, which is too much for you. I'd like to hire an assistant to share your workload."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yiyi raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her professional expression.

She pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, "Mr. Chen, you've considered things very thoroughly. Once the company is officially operational, my workload will indeed increase exponentially. Having an assistant in advance would be of great benefit to both work efficiency and the company's standardized management."

"So what do you think? Should we hire a full-time employee, or should we hire an intern like Shen Yan did?" Chen Lin left the decision to her.

Without hesitation, Huang Yiyi immediately offered her suggestion: "An intern. Our company is still in its early stages. Although the administrative and legal work is complex, it hasn't reached the point where two full-time staff are needed to handle it. Hiring an intern will not only share my basic work, but also reduce labor costs, making it the most cost-effective option."

She paused, then added, "And ideally, they should also be students at Yannan University, just like Shen Yan. This would not only make management easier but also allow for better utilization of the resources provided by the university."

"Great minds think alike!" Chen Lin clapped his hands, fully approving of Huang Yiyi's professional judgment. "Alright, it's settled then!"
