Repentance

Back at the company, Zhang Yang went to Zhou Zhaodong's office to hear his report.

After hesitating for a long time, Luo Zhiqing still walked towards the personnel office.

Words spoken are like water spilled; they cannot be taken back.

Since she had already told Bai Jingyi that she wanted to leave, there was no way to stop her, so there was no other option...

Inside the personnel office.

The HR person looked up in surprise at the new chairman's assistant who had come to submit his resignation.

"Luo Zhiqing, are you sure you want to resign? The chairman just returned. Why don't you try to adjust to the new situation?"

"No, I think. I'm still on probation. I'll hand over my work before I leave," Luo Zhiqing said softly.

Just give three days' notice during the trial period.

She doesn't actually have much work to do; she'll just hand it over to Bai Jingyi later.

She didn't say much and walked straight back to her office alone.

Inside the Director's office.

Only Bai Jingyi was there.

Luo Zhiqing sat down alone and glanced at Bai Jingyi, who seemed absent-minded and lost in thought.

"Bai Jingyi," she called out to her.

"Huh?" Bai Jingyi snapped out of her daze. "Luo Zhiqing, is there something you need?"

"Well, I've submitted my resignation. I still have some things to take care of, shall I hand them over to you?"

"Resign?" Bai Jingyi's eyes widened. "Are you serious? You're resigning as soon as the boss gets back? No... it can't be because of me, can it? I won't tell anyone what we talked about today, so why did you..."

"Didn't I say... I've already made up my mind?" Luo Zhiqing said firmly.

··

Inside the chairman's office, Zhang Yang remained silent, listening intently as Zhou Zhaodong reported on recent work.

In particular, the progress of setting up a family office.

At his request, the company has assigned a large number of experts in finance, taxation, law, and other fields to help set up a family office. In addition, they are also continuing to recruit people from outside the company through headhunters.

The establishment of a family office is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

For now, we'll focus on building the basic framework. As for personnel, we'll maintain the current size for the time being, and we can add more staff later if needed.

"By the way, make the arrangements. I plan to move the company to the Vantone Bank Tower," Zhang Yang said.

The Vantone Bank Tower is a small landmark in Pudong under his name, worth several billion yuan, and can be considered one of the iconic buildings in the Lujiazui area.

He had actually been thinking about moving his company to the Vantone Bank Tower for a while, but at the time it wasn't necessary and he was going to Africa soon, so the matter was put on hold.

But the person I am now is completely different from the person I was back then.

Its overall strength and influence have inflated by more than tenfold.

Using a small landmark in Pudong under his own name as the group's headquarters can be seen as a symbol of status, strength, and position.

Because of the system buff, Zhou Zhaodong was absolutely loyal to Zhang Yang, so he knew everything, big and small. At this moment, he naturally knew that the Vantone Bank Tower was a property under his boss's name.

Therefore, he was not surprised.

The two talked about the details for a long time, and Zhou Zhaodong didn't leave the office until the afternoon.

··

By the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Yang was on the phone, exchanging pleasantries with a smile.

Magic City China's financial center and the largest city along the Yangtze River. Many of the board members of the Yangtze Club have their corporate headquarters in Magic City, and they are also Magic City.

He had barely returned when a big shot called to invite him to a get-together.

This man's group spans many industries and is among the top 50 private enterprises in China. This tycoon himself is one of the most outstanding super-rich people in Magic City, a leading figure in the domestic business community, and a prominent figure in Shanghai who has been on the rich list since the early 2000s.

"Sure, sure, Mr. Huo, I'll definitely be there this afternoon," Zhang Yang said on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang shook his head and chuckled softly.

They're so enthusiastic.

The last trip to Yudu was a gathering of the large Yangtze Club, but this time it felt more like a gathering of a small circle in Magic City.

It belongs to a small circle of Magic City's top billionaires.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang went straight to the office of the director, intending to ask Bai Jingyi to come with him.

Upon entering the office.

Both assistants stood up.

"Chairman Zhang," Bai Jingyi called out in a sweet, clear voice.

"Chairman Zhang." The newcomer, Luo Zhiqing, addressed him with a slightly stiff tone.

"Hmm." Zhang Yang glanced at her, then his gaze swept past her and he walked straight to Bai Xiaomi. "Bai Jingyi, get ready. Come with me this afternoon; I'm going to see some friends."

Luo Zhiqing lowered her eyes and twisted her hands slightly, as if she were an outsider.

"Huh? Me?" Bai Jingyi pursed her lips, then looked at Luo Zhiqing. "Chairman Zhang, why don't you take Luo Zhiqing with you? Let Xiao Luo get familiar with the work."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiqing was immediately stunned. "No... Secretary Bai, you? I..."

For a moment, she was speechless.

"Go ahead." Bai Jingyi glanced at her. "Luo Zhiqing, it's not easy for the boss to come back. You should learn more from him so you can help him in the future."

"Aren't you going?" Zhang Yang frowned slightly.

"Chairman Zhang..." Bai Jingyi stepped forward and explained softly, "She's new here, so please mentor her and give the newcomer a chance to prove herself."

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded at Luo Zhiqing beside him.

"Okay, Luo Zhiqing, right? You'll come with me this afternoon."

"I..." Luo Zhiqing was about to speak when she saw Bai Jingyi wink at her.

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but they came out as a single sentence.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yang stopped talking and turned to walk out of the office.

"What are you standing there for?" Bai Jingyi quickly urged, "Follow Chairman Zhang. Chairman Zhang is very easygoing and doesn't follow too many rules, but the prerequisite is that you have to serve Chairman Zhang well..."

"Serve?" Luo Zhiqing stammered for once.

"Don't worry about the details. Do I need to teach you these things?" Bai Jingyi chuckled helplessly. "Go on, a good assistant should always be by the boss's side."

Luo Zhiqing seemed to wake from a dream, and took small steps out of the office, following Zhang Yang's footsteps at a distance.

··

On the way to Sheshan International Golf Course.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes slightly.

Luo Zhiqing, standing to the side, held her breath, unsure of what to say.

Up until now, she knew nothing about this boss and didn't know how to chat with Chairman Zhang. At least, she didn't have to be as restrained as she was now.

"How's your work going lately?" Zhang Yang opened his eyes and looked at his assistant beside him.

He was always easygoing and didn't easily put on airs in front of those around him, but why was this new assistant still so reserved and restrained in his presence?

"He's... not bad, Chairman Zhang," Luo Zhiqing quickly replied.

"What did Bai Jingyi teach you? Did she teach you with all her heart?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"Secretary Bai... Secretary Bai is a very good person, she took great care of me," Luo Zhiqing said after organizing her thoughts. "I am very grateful to her."

"This girl," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Chairman Zhang, is there anything I need to be aware of later?" Luo Zhiqing asked, seizing the opportunity.

"There's nothing special to pay attention to," Zhang Yang said nonchalantly. "Just do your job as an assistant. By the way, Bai Jingyi should have already taught you what to do, right?"

For some reason, the two words Bai Jingyi had just uttered flashed through Luo Zhiqing's mind: "Serve".

"I've already taught you," she quickly whispered.

"That's enough after you've taught him." Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction. "Since you were recruited by Zhou Zhaodong, I trust his judgment. Xiao Luo, do a good job. I won't mistreat the people around me."

He subconsciously patted Luo Zhiqing's thigh.

It wasn't intentional; it just happened on a whim.

He could easily take photos of any pretty girl he was alone with in a room.

And not a single girl has ever expressed any dissatisfaction.

In an instant, Luo Zhiqing froze, not daring to move an inch in the face of Zhang Yang's actions.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Chairman Zhang."

"Hmm." Zhang Yang withdrew his hand and glanced out the car window.

Luo Zhiqing looked outside, but couldn't help lingering on the profile of Chairman Zhang beside her.

Those clear, deep eyes, and that absolutely perfect profile.

For a moment, Luo Zhiqing even began to doubt herself.

Could it be that Chairman Zhang's actions just now were not intentional, but completely unintentional?

That must be it, right?

··

Rolls-Royce Phantom drove straight into Sheshan International Golf Course and finally stopped.

Outside, staff members were already waiting beside the golf cart.

Zhang Yang sat down directly, Luo Zhiqing followed closely behind, sitting next to Zhang Yang.

The golf cart then headed towards the course.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Yang surveyed the entire stadium area.

This golf course is nestled against the mountains and faces the water, boasting exceptional scenery. With a vast expanse of beautiful mountains and clear waters before you, and the refreshing air that greets you, it truly is a wonderful place.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but in the distance, he saw a group of people standing in the distance.

The one leading them was none other than Chairman Huo.

"General Manager Zhang is here!"

"Oh my, it really is General Manager Zhang!"

A group of people walked towards them with smiles in the distance. Among them were members of the Yangtze Club, as well as some familiar but unfamiliar middle-aged faces.

They must be from the circle of Magic City's super-rich.

Zhang Yang smiled as he stepped off the golf cart and greeted Chairman Huo. Through Chairman Huo's introduction, he then introduced himself to several faces he was meeting for the first time.

Although those individuals were not members of the Yangtze Club, they were nonetheless extremely wealthy local businessmen in Magic City.

As if they already knew Zhang Yang's background and strength, these people all showed great enthusiasm and were all smiles.

"Come, come, Chairman Zhang, this way please."

"Please, please."

Beside them, the personal assistants of the bigwigs stood at a respectful distance, ready to be summoned at any time.

At this moment, Luo Zhiqing's head was buzzing, and she looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

Oh my god.

Where is she now?

She looked at the familiar faces and figures before her. They had appeared more than once in major financial publications and on various lists in China. They were the people who truly stood at the pinnacle of wealth in the country.

She had heard the name countless times.

But this was the first time in her life she had been so close to someone.

Even more unbelievable is that among this group of top business leaders, his own boss stood among them, chatting and laughing with everyone, seemingly enjoying himself immensely and appearing to be the center of attention.

"Is this the real Chairman Zhang?"

Luo Zhiqing muttered to herself.

My first impression of Chairman Zhang was that he was like a dragon Gulfstream from the sky, a dazzling figure among men.

My second impression of Chairman Zhang was that he was surrounded by bigwigs and treated like royalty.

Luo Zhiqing's face felt hot.

She was so unrealistic and had such high aspirations that she even dared to think that the company was a small platform and not suitable for her development.

Looking back now, it's simply laughable.

Looking up at the assistants not far away, some holding water, others holding towels to wipe their sweat, their eyes never leaving their boss, Luo Zhiqing seemed to understand something.

The word "serve" might sound insulting at first, but upon reflection, it perfectly encapsulates the essence of an assistant.

The question is, is she going to do that?

What is she thinking now that she has already submitted her resignation?

··

On the course, caddies in pristine white uniforms bustled about, working tirelessly.

The pros swung their clubs with gusto.

The surrounding area was filled with cheers, some flattering and some genuine.

"Pretty!"

"Good shot, Mr. Huo!"

Several big shots, leaning on their golf clubs, laughed heartily.

"Chairman Zhang, to be honest, my son is fortunate to know you and has mentioned your demeanor more than once. He has the utmost respect for you!" A Magic City Shanghai tycoon said with deep emotion.

"Your son... is he Ye Junyi?" Zhang Yang looked at the person in front of him, thought for a moment, and then gave a name.

I just introduced the person in front of me as Chairman Ye of Huahai Group, but I can't immediately connect him with anyone else.

Now that he said that, Zhang Yang suddenly realized what was going on.

It's him!

It's been a long time since then.

About half a year ago, he had a minor conflict with Ye Junyi's brother-in-law, and in the end, Ye Junyi himself had to step in to smooth things over and apologize.

I have a good impression of this young man; he has the demeanor of a group heir.

Unexpectedly, as time passed and years flew by, when they met again, he was already chatting and laughing with his high and mighty father.

"It's rare that Chairman Zhang still remembers my son!" Chairman Ye said with a smile.

"Not bad, young man." Zhang Yang nodded in approval. "He has the demeanor of Chairman Ye."

A burst of laughter immediately followed.

Although Chairman Ye didn't say it aloud, his face clearly showed that he was quite proud to have such a son.

"By the way, I once heard my son mention that you, Chairman Zhang, also own a club?" Chairman Ye suddenly asked with great interest.

"Just a small-scale operation," Zhang Yang waved his hand and said.

His initial idea was good; he wanted to create a clubhouse, attract a group of wealthy second-generation Shanghai residents, and expand his network and relationships.

However, his growth rate was simply too fast.

That club, by now, is barely anything but a shell; it's just something to do for fun.

The circles are different now.

The first generation of his social circle is the mainstream, while the second generation mainly consists of the descendants of prominent families in Beijing.

As for the second-generation rich kids in Magic City, he could easily associate with their parents; why go to such lengths to spend all his time with them?

"Oh... you can't say that. With Chairman Zhang here, how can we talk about small-scale squabbles?"

"Count me in, I'm interested in becoming a member."

"Me too··"
