The company's working hours are nine o'clock in the morning. Lin Shirui was afraid of being late because it was her first day at work, so she came out an hour early.
Shanghai is really too big, and she lives in a remote place, so she can't calculate the travel time. It's better to leave early. Once she gets familiar with it, she won't have to rush.
As a result, I arrived really early and the company was not open yet, so I had to sit in the cafe downstairs for a while.
With an LV bag, a Chanel suit, classic RV square-button high heels, and her perfect looks, Lin Shirui is destined to be the most eye-catching one, or at least one of them.
Because this is the financial center of Shanghai, the white-collar elites who come here are all top-notch people with first-class abilities, not just first-class looks.
Entering the company ten minutes early, the receptionist greeted Lin Shirui with a smile. The former relied on makeup to achieve a 7.5-point appearance, while Lin Shirui's foundation was an 8-point. It was this 0.5-point difference that made the two of them, one a receptionist and the other a shareholder meeting secretary.
The paperwork was completed yesterday, and today is the official start date. Because the company is so small, there's no dedicated HR department, so Song Yanming's female secretary is doing it part-time.
After receiving her work badge and being assigned an office, when Lin Shirui asked who was responsible for clocking in and out, she was told that her position did not require clocking in.
The company's investment managers each have their own small teams, and whether they want to work together or from home is up to them. In short, the company's purpose is to make money for the three shareholders. If you can make money, you're the boss. If not, please leave. The company doesn't support those who just want to get by.
It’s not uncommon for investment managers to move on with their teams under this model, but so what? The biggest shortage here is financial talent, so we can just recruit more.
Besides, the level of investors who can work in small companies is just so-so. They made a lot of money before because they had inside information. Don’t really think that it’s because of your own ability.
Those who stayed saw that those who left were living worse off than before, and since they were all employees, who would be reluctant about money? Gradually, employee loyalty increased.
However, Song Yanming doesn't care about these things. Each investment manager brings a small team to manage daily investments, and the overall goal is to avoid losses.
As for having inside information, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to tell it out. He would just say it was his own judgment and that his subordinates only had to follow the instructions. Couldn't a group of above-average investors do this?
Never mind the regulatory oversight. Dongshen Wealth isn't even a major player in Shanghai, and they're only making a small profit. Who would do this? Do they really think Wang Jianguo, the second-largest shareholder in the capital, is just a figurehead?
When Lin Shirui asked about her job, she was told that all she had to do was serve the shareholder Mr. Si Mingyu well.
To sum it up in one sentence: when you have nothing to do, do whatever you want; when you have something to do, do whatever you are asked to do.
So Lin Shirui did the following things on her first day at work: collected her work badge, was assigned an office and office supplies, got to know her colleagues in the company, and got reimbursed for yesterday's invoices.
Ms. Li from the finance department took the invoice, glanced at it, and spent five minutes pasting it and asking Lin Shirui to sign it. After that, everything was fine. She didn't even ask why she bought these brands and styles of clothes.
Those who can do the company's finances are the boss's confidants. Don't they know what the boss means?
Lin Shirui spent the rest of her time looking through documents and familiarizing herself with the company. With only three shareholders and fewer than twenty employees, there wasn't much information for her to look through for such a small company. She finished reading it in a few hours, and had to spend the rest of the time scrolling through her phone.
.
"Boss, I explained all the precautions to Lin Shirui after she started working today. She performed very well today and seemed to be working very hard. But can you just tell her directly that the company has no requirements for her working hours? Previously, we only had no requirements for several investment managers and their teams." The female secretary called Song Yanming after get off work to report the situation.
"Have you forgotten why we hired a shareholder secretary to come to the company? Besides, she was personally selected by my nephew."
It's true that Song Yanming is capable, but there are many people in the industry who are better than him but haven't achieved as much as him. Without Song Yanming, the company can still have Zhang Yanming and Li Yanming, but without the company, he is nothing.
Moreover, as a manager, he knew too much about the company's secrets, essentially tying himself to the company. If he had any ideas, Wang Jianguo, the all-powerful second-largest shareholder in the capital, could have him spend the rest of his life in prison, and he would be powerless to do anything about them because he had no evidence.
Therefore, he had to curry favor with the three shareholders as best he could. The other two were far away, and there was no chance to see them except during festivals. Moreover, the things Song Yanming had painstakingly obtained might not be as good as what they were using. And now the youngest one was right in front of him, what was there to say?
"But, will the company be able to control Lin Shirui if it indulges her like this?" The female secretary was a little worried.
"I've made it clear to you. After all, you have to keep a close eye on me when I'm not in the company." Song Yanming felt that some things had to be explained first.
"People are lazy. With such a high salary and such an easy job, what do you think she'll do once she gets used to it? If she really agrees with my nephew, then we have no right to control her. If that doesn't work out, we can just find someone else. But I'm telling you, don't offend her before things are settled. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Song, I am clear about this. Do you think I am such a fool?" The female secretary's tone had a hint of coquettishness.
"It's best if you know it in your heart." After hanging up the phone, Song Yanming lit a cigarette and looked at the night view of the Magic City outside the window with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
It's no wonder he's so scheming, he's truly devoted to the company, as his annual salary and year-end bonus are truly high. But how can he convince the three shareholders that he will always be loyal to the company?
Again, with the inside information of the second shareholder Wang Jianguo, anyone in the financial industry can take his position.
So, Song Yanming's actions were not only to curry favor with Si Mingyu, but also to show off to the other shareholders. At the very least, if that day ever came, it would be enough if one of the three shareholders could say a few good words for him.
It’s not that he thinks too much, but some things are indeed not in compliance with the regulations. Otherwise, would he be like this?
As the person involved, Si Mingyu had no idea about these activities.
After all, as long as you reach a certain point, someone will bring what you want to you. All you have to do is nod, or if you think it is not good, ask them to change it.
