In just over a month, IDE Capital had already begun to take shape. Compared to its initial days when it was just a company with "a couple of cats, big and small," it now fully featured all necessary departments.
The number of employees had also grown from the initial 30 or so people to nearly 100...
Fortunately, when Gu Heng chose the location for the company, he hadn’t been stingy. Everything was set up for a large-scale operation, and the office space was more than sufficient. It could easily accommodate double the current number, without feeling crowded at all. Experience tales at freewebnovel
"Mr. Gu."
"Mr. Gu."
As Gu Heng and a group of senior executives entered the company, the busy employees, upon seeing Gu Heng, instinctively stood up to greet him.
Gu Heng responded with a smile.
In the past, no matter where Gu Heng worked, those leaders and bosses would strut around in front of the employees all day, heads held high and faces stern, as if someone owed them millions. Back then, Gu Heng had despised such people the most. Now that he was a boss himself, of course, he couldn’t continue that way.
They were all his own employees, working to earn money for him.
To be obsequious outside and act high and mighty among his own people would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it?
Although Gu Heng wasn’t exactly a saint, he definitely wasn’t a bad person either. He had been drenched in the rain himself; there was no need to stomp on others’ umbrellas just because he was now wearing a raincoat. It was a matter of attitude, and Gu Heng was quite willing to maintain a good one.
Those newly hired employees, experiencing their first contact with Gu Heng, found his approachable demeanor quite pleasing.
When they joined IDE, they were aware that the company offered great benefits, almost double that of other companies in the industry. Now that they had a good boss too, where else could they find such a place to work?
As Gu Heng and the senior executives gradually moved away, the murmuring began to grow.
"Is that our company’s boss? So young! Although we saw his photo during onboarding, seeing him in person is totally different from the picture."
"Now that you mention it, I do feel it. I’ve worked at three companies before, and the youngest boss was in his forties or fifties. This is my first time seeing such a young boss, and it’s really quite something. Plus, I heard Mr. Gu was born in 2000; he’s even younger than me... a proper younger male CEO theme..."
"It has the vibe of a female-targeted CEO romance novel…"
At this moment, these highly educated social elites gossiped and joked just like anyone else...
....
"Mr. Gu, representatives from major law firms are now waiting in the conference room. When do you plan to meet them?"
Moving away from the office area, Jiang Ruxue asked Gu Heng softly.
Without hesitation, Gu Heng said, "Since there’s nothing else, let’s head over now."
Finishing his sentence, he strode toward the meeting room.
Several senior executives quickly followed...
As for Lin Jiayun and He Jing, they were in a bit of a dilemma...
After all, they were not employees of the company, and when Gu Heng had introduced them to the company executives, he had referred to them as his "friends," which clearly stated his position.
Would it be inappropriate to follow Gu Heng into the meeting?
But if they didn’t accompany him, where should they go? Gu Heng hadn’t arranged for them a place to rest; surely they couldn’t just stand at the entrance?
That would be even more awkward...
Luckily, Jiang Ruxue immediately noticed their discomfort and whispered to Gu Heng so that only the two of them could hear, "Mr. Gu, what about these two friends of yours? Should they join us in the meeting room, or shall someone lead them to the lounge?"
Gu Heng turned around and glanced back...
Right…
He had forgotten Lin Jiayun and He Jing again...
But really, it wasn’t his fault...
When He Jing and Lin Jiayun were in Hang City, they might not have been very high-profile, but they still had some presence…
But since getting off the plane, their presence had sharply diminished, coupled with the fact that those present were what kind of executives?
They were the elite poached from major Hua Country enterprises, already at the top of the salary pyramid. Despite their humble demeanor in front of Gu Heng, each of them radiated a powerful aura. Even Jiang Ruxue, who only recently took on a management role and was just an ordinary college student not long ago, had developed a commanding presence in this short period...
By comparison...
He Jing and Lin Jiayun, two mere beauties likened to vases, were like invisible beings among these individuals, with barely any presence at all. That’s why Gu Heng kept overlooking them...
Thinking of this, Gu Heng turned his head and directly said to them, "Both of you, follow me. I’ve brought so many law firms here today to deal with my personal matters, nothing that involves the company, so there’s no need for secrecy."
At his words, Lin Jiayun and He Jing quickly nodded their heads and moved to Gu Heng’s side...
"Just stick with me, and you’ll be fine. If I can go in somewhere, they can’t possibly not let you two in."
The brief sentence he uttered stirred an inexplicable sentiment in Lin Jiayun and He Jing’s hearts...
Not exactly sweet nothings, but for sure, the sense of security in that remark was overwhelming...
Especially for them, two unnamed canaries, the impact was even stronger...
Behind them, the senior executives, being sharp-minded, had already filtered Gu Heng’s words through their brains and knew how to treat the two women...
They understood very well that these two girls had a relationship with Gu Heng that was beyond ordinary; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been neglected and left at the rear by everyone.
