eccentric
Ye Lin returned to her residence from Peking University and operated her computer. She had a complete design drawing for a watch, but unlike Xia Zaoan's watch with an internal design, it was more about the external design.
Ye Lin sent her completed design to Xia Keyu. She then logged into a dark web forum called "auter," which literally means "ever-changing possibilities." On the login page, Ye Lin habitually logged in, entering "Y" before deleting it and entering "Ye." After registering and logging in, Ye Lin browsed the forums. There were discussions about "neural regeneration" under the forums, with many people discussing it. Rumors swirled that "neural regeneration" had already been achieved, and many were curious about who had succeeded. Various theories were circulating.
As Ye Lin finished browsing the forum and was about to log out, a message popped up. The eye-catching headline read, "God Y appears to have disappeared, no recent news." Ye Lin didn't click on it, instead clearing all the push notifications from her message bar and logging out.
The next day, Ye Lin went to report to DY Group. The building of DY Group is hundreds of stories high, towering into the clouds, and the top cannot be seen. Ye Lin entered the ground floor of the DY building, pressed a button, and entered the elevator. Ye Lin was the only one in the elevator. When the elevator door was about to close completely, it suddenly changed its closed operation and reopened. Ye Lin looked up and saw a person walking in. It was Ji Jinyan. Ye Lin recognized him, and Ji Jinyan stood aside without pressing the elevator floor button. It seemed that the floor he was going to was the same floor as Ye Lin. Generally speaking, the executive director's office is located on the top floor, and the floor Ye Lin was going to is where the human resources department is located.
Seeing the elevator door close, the two receptionists chatted. "Hey, didn't I see President Ji coming to the company early this morning? Why is he going up again?"
"You must have seen it wrong. Didn't President Ji just arrive?"
"No way, how could I possibly recognize Mr. Ji wrongly? Besides, Mr. Ji always comes to the company very early. When has he ever come so late?"
"Yeah, maybe he went out again for something."
The two people in the elevator were silent. If someone were there, it would have been extremely awkward, but the two parties didn't feel anything. As the elevator continued to rise, "ding——", the elevator arrived at the designated floor, and Ji Jinyan was the first to step out of the elevator. He stopped at the elevator door, turned around and said, "New controller? Follow me."
Ye Lin followed Ji Jinyan to an empty HR office, where they sat down. Ji Jinyan pushed a document in front of Ye Lin, who flipped it open. It wasn't an employment contract; more accurately, it looked like an agreement. The difference between the two was that the former more clearly defined the status and interests of Party A and Party B, while the latter was more like a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.
The general content of the agreement allowed Ye Lin to work flexibly. As long as she completed the required work, her working hours were not restricted, and she was not required to work at her workstation. She could work from home or elsewhere and pursue other leisure activities at her workstation. These points were very much to Ye Lin's liking. After all, Ye Lin was very efficient at work. Instead of being idle at her workstation all day, she could do more important things.
However, the agreement stated that Ye Lin would be given a ten percent stake in DY Group, which was completely out of place. While ten percent might not sound like much, it was still a significant amount in DY Group, and it was a complete gift. After reading the contract, Ye Lin directly expressed her doubts.
"Give me 10% of your personal shares?" Ye Lin raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. The role of a financial and economic controller is inherently important, so most companies hire one directly. However, I would prefer to be on equal footing with the controller, having the same decision-making power as me, participating in discussions with higher-level management, and jointly managing the company's economic lifeline to achieve a win-win situation."
"Then what about this clause 'No one is allowed to resign without the permission of the Chief Executive.' According to the laws of Quan State, employees have full autonomy to decide whether to stay or leave. Is there a conflict here?" Ye Lin asked.
This clause in the agreement was located in a very remote location, and even the font was very small, but of course Ye Lin would not completely ignore it.
Ji Jinyan was silent for a moment. "This position is a little different. The group will spend more of the three forces (which can be understood as human resources, material resources, and energy) on this position, so the turnover of personnel will be more stringent. However, I can guarantee the most basic job security."
Very good. Ye Lin didn't believe a word Ji Jinyan had just said. As a business manager, it's simply impossible to not prioritize profits. Ji Jinyan's attempt to use the same rhetoric he used to fool ordinary people to deal with Ye Lin was unwise. The agreement didn't even have a breach of contract clause at the end, effectively ignoring any liability in legal terms. Ye Lin didn't believe the suggestion that Ji Jinyan had forgotten or otherwise neglected to include the penalty clause. She could only assume that Ji Jinyan had deliberately included it. So, what was Ji Jinyan trying to do by handing Ye Lin such a flawed agreement?
Ye Lin and Ji Jinyan looked at each other. Ji Jinyan's eyes were calm, without a trace of change. Ye Lin said, "I can sign the agreement, but I don't need the shares."
"Okay." Ji Jinyan didn't say anything more.
Ye Lin was not afraid that Ji Jinyan would do anything. To be able to come up with such an agreement, he must have a problem with his brain. Ye Lin wanted to see what Ji Jinyan wanted to do.
The two of them then waited for Li Ming to arrive, and Li Ming took Ye Lin away. Ji Jinyan was the only one left in the office, and it was completely silent. Ji Jinyan could clearly hear his own rapid heartbeat. His palms were already wet with sweat, and this made Ji Jinyan feel a long-lost excitement and nervousness.
As they walked to the office, Li Ming quietly observed Ye Lin, noting that she was indeed quite pretty. It was no surprise that President Ji was attracted to her. When they reached the public office area, Li Ming introduced her. "Everyone, this is our new controller, Ye Lin. We'll be working together," he said.
Everyone turned around and said, "Oh, it's a beauty. Finally there's a new face. We can feast our eyes on her in the future." The male colleague said with a smile.
Most people welcomed Ye Lin's arrival. A heavily made-up woman standing nearby, seeing how popular Ye Lin was, muttered, "Looks like this, I wonder how she got into the company?"
"Ye Lin, your workstation is over there." Li Ming's phone rang. Li Ming glanced at it and said, "Li Yao, come and help Ye Lin get familiar with the environment."
"Okay." Li Yao stood up from her workstation and walked to Ye Lin's side, and Li Ming left.
"Hello, my name is Li Yao." Li Yao enthusiastically showed Ye Lin around.
…
In the afternoon, Bai Zeyan and Ye Lin met at a restaurant. "How is it going? Are you adapting well on the first day?"
"fine."
"Have you met the DY executive?"
"Ji Jinyan, I saw it."
"What do you think?"
"He's—very strange. Do you know him?"
Bai Zeyan paused, "I've never seen it, I've only heard of it."
Ye Lin answered a call, "Hello, good morning."
Bai Zeyan stopped picking up the food, then continued picking up the food as if nothing had happened.
"Ye Lin, did work go well today? Was Ji Jinyan very aggressive?"
"No, everything went well."
"Oh, by the way. I plan to set up an art studio, and I'd like you to attend my opening ceremony."
"OK."
