Chapter 584

It must be said, Zhang Lan is indeed a beauty. She is attractive, has a voluptuous figure, and even has a pair of fair, long legs. Such a beauty taking off her high heels and black stockings in front of Chen Yang is somewhat suggestive.

"Zhang Lan, stop messing around." Chen Yang immediately stopped her behavior, speaking solemnly: "I know you've been working hard lately. Once the company's business stabilizes, I will have Director Du give you a bonus."

"Thank you, Chairman!" Seeing Chen Yang always treat her strictly business, Zhang Lan felt a little disappointed. As you know, the male executives at the company stare at her when they see her. Several even want to ask her out in private!

"Chairman, what's your schedule today?" The secretary's job is to arrange the boss's itinerary. But Chen Yang comes and goes as he pleases, and the board can skip meetings if it wants, leaving Secretary Zhang Lan to pretend clueless whenever she faces company executives.

"Go see what General Manager He is busy with. Have her come to my office after she's finished." Moreover… Chen Yang paused, then handed his car keys to Zhang Lan and said gently: "There's a bag of skincare products in my trunk, originally meant for a client. Seeing how hard you've worked, I'll reward you with it."

"Thank you, Chairman!" Zhang Lan's pretty face instantly lit up with a bright smile; she happily took Chen Yang's car keys and left the office.

In her view, the boss proactively giving her a gift is a sign of goodwill. Perhaps one day, Chen Yang will be melted by her tenderness.

Chen Yang had no idea what Zhang Lan was thinking; his mind was mostly occupied with buying land in Xingcheng.

As a listed company, Tianqi Pharmaceutical's employees still live in the old dormitory building. Chen Yang plans to apply to the relevant departments of Xingcheng's municipal government for a plot of land near the company to build new employee dormitories.

Of course, before making a decision, Chen Yang needed to first consult He Wanqiu's opinion. After all, although he proposed the plan, she would be the one to execute it.

About half an hour later, He Wanqiu arrived at Chen Yang's office. She quickly walked to his desk and said with a smile: "Chairman, Secretary Zhang seems quite interested in you! You're single now—why not give it a try?"

Chen Yang gave her a glance and said: "There are countless people interested in me in this world; if I tried to date each one, I'd be exhausted to death."

Seeing Chen Yang unmoved by beauty, He Wanqiu immediately regained her serious demeanor and said: "Chairman, what important matter do you need me for?"

Chen Yang said: "Property prices in Xingcheng keep rising. I plan to take some funds from the company to build employee dormitories. What do you think?"

He Wanqiu frowned slightly and said: "Chairman, the company's new business has just launched; building dormitories now would pose financial difficulties."

Chen Yang comforted her: "Since I've brought it up, I naturally have a way to secure the funds. It just depends on whether you and the board support this plan."

Upon hearing that, He Wanqiu laughed and said: "Chairman, you are the company's largest shareholder. Your opinion is the company's opinion—who could oppose it?"

Chen Yang pretended to be stern and said: "I'm a very democratic person. If you disagree, I definitely won't carry out this plan."

Worried Chen Yang might change his mind, He Wanqiu immediately said: "Chairman, with your generosity, the company's employees will surely like you."

Chen Yang laughed: "They'll be even more grateful to me in the future!"

He Wanqiu didn't grasp the hidden meaning in Chen Yang's words, but she could tell it was surely a good thing, so she immediately went to arrange an internal board meeting.

Just as she left, Zhang Lan came back in, holding the cosmetics she had taken from Chen Yang's car trunk—Chanel products. She returned the car keys to Chen Yang and said somewhat shyly: "Chairman, you gave me such a valuable gift—how should I thank you?"

Chen Yang, of course, understood her implication and said directly: "Just focus on your work; don't overthink anything else."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Lan pouted and left.

Chen Yang watched, shaking his head helplessly. When someone is super wealthy, not only someone like Zhang Lan—a fresh college graduate—but even those dazzling TV stars might actively throw themselves into his arms.

But such a life also comes with more uncertain factors.

Chen Yang didn't want to get himself caught up in those uncertain troubles.

More importantly, he wasn't lacking in women. In terms of looks and figure, Zhang Lan falls far short of Lin Wei. In personality, she isn't as gentle and considerate as Su Mingyue and Liu Qingqing.

Most of what she shows in front of Chen Yang is a pretense. If her work weren't decent enough, Chen Yang would have transferred her to another department long ago.

To give himself some quiet time, after finishing the piled-up documents, Chen Yang went straight home.

At 4 p. m., He Wanqiu's call finally came through.

"Chairman, the board has approved the employee dormitory project. I've also submitted the land-use application to the relevant departments; we should get a reply soon."

"However, whether this funding comes from a bank loan or directly from the company's liquid assets is still up to you to decide."

Chen Yang pondered and said: "The company hasn't lifted its status yet, so we might as well use the liquid funds in the account."

He Wanqiu immediately said: "Chairman, if we just go through the company account, then you'll have to work a bit harder in the stock market lately..."

Chen Yang felt an urge to hit himself upon hearing that. This is really him bringing trouble upon himself!

However, he quickly came up with a new plan. After He Wanqiu hung up, he drove straight to the Securities Investment Department of Xinghui Financial Investment Company and intercepted Lan Qiyun before she could leave work.

"Senior, you came so late, you wouldn't be trying to treat me to a meal, would you?" Lan Qiyun looked at Chen Yang with a smiling, narrowed gaze. This senior is nowadays like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail—only by phone can you tell if he's still breathing, or he's somewhere on earth.

Chen Yang got straight to the point: "Junior, I intend to hand over the securities investment account of Tianqi Pharmaceutical to you for trusteeship. Prepare an agency agreement; later I'll have the company's legal counsel and financial director get in touch with you."

Lan Qiyun looked at Chen Yang with a doubtful expression and instinctively asked: "Senior, you clearly could handle this better yourself—why waste this unnecessary expense?"

Chen Yang explained to her: "Tianqi Pharmaceutical Ltd. is currently in a major development phase and needs continual capital infusion. If we don't want to bother the banks, we have no choice but to turn to the stock market."

However, my energy is ultimately limited; I can't watch the stock market every day, so I can only entrust this business to you.

Upon hearing that, Lan Qiyun immediately agreed to Chen Yang's request. After all, when it comes to securities investment, she is the one who best understands this senior's feelings.
