We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

Lu Yuan grabbed a pan-fried bun and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it very forcefully.

Hearing the commotion outside, Su Ya and Han Yue came out of the conference room with several folders in their hands.

Both were dressed in casual weekend attire, yet still exuded a professional air.

"President Ye, you're here so early? You finished military training yesterday, why didn't you rest?"

Han Yue walked over, naturally took the breakfast from Ye Chen's hand, and gave a portion to Su Ya.

"I just happened to get up early, so I came over for a look around," Ye Chen smiled, "to see if you guys sold the company behind my back last night."

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair, joking in a relaxed tone.

Su Ya pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, casually flipping open the top folder.

"If you really want to sell, you can get a good price for it now."

"Although there's been no news from EA for the time being, the head of Sequoia Capital's overseas fund sent me a message yesterday, saying they'd like to discuss the Series A funding with you in person."

Ye Chen didn't even glance at the document before giving his reply.

"Tell them that we don't lack money, and that Starry Sky Interactive currently does not need any external capital intervention."

Suya nodded, picked up a pen, and crossed out a line on the document.

"That's what I replied as well. Also, the overseas funding channels you mentioned last time have been fully established."

"The cross-shareholding agreement between the BVI offshore company and its Hong Kong subsidiary was completed yesterday afternoon."

As Ye Chen listened to Su Ya's methodical report, his gaze swept over the neatly organized office area.

These two individuals are not only extremely professional in financial compliance, but they also manage the company's logistics and daily operations flawlessly.

All documents were neatly archived, and the workflow sheets for each position were posted in the most conspicuous place on the whiteboard.

There's absolutely no need for him, the boss, to worry about it.

"Just complete the procedures." Ye Chen leaned forward slightly, his tone becoming somewhat serious.

"However, this overseas funding should not be transferred back to China yet; it should remain entirely in the Hong Kong subsidiary's account."

Su Ya paused, somewhat surprised: "Not transferring it back? What about our daily operating funds in China..."

"We don't need to use this money domestically," Ye Chen interrupted her, turning to look at Han Yue.

"Han Yue, I'm giving you a new task."

"We secretly recruited two absolutely reliable and obedient financial traders through headhunters at our Hong Kong subsidiary."

"The salary will be top-tier in the industry, but you must sign the strictest confidentiality agreement."

Upon hearing this, Su Ya and Han Yue exchanged glances, both seeing deep confusion in each other's eyes.

A company that makes games and the internet spent a lot of effort to open up overseas funding channels, but instead of bringing the money back to develop its main business, it wants to hire financial traders with high salaries?

"Mr. Ye, what are you planning to do...?" Han Yue asked tentatively, "Is our company preparing to cross over into financial investment?"

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, a calm smile playing on his lips.

"Making games is lucrative, but it's slower than real capital operations."

"That huge sum of money is just dead money sitting in the account. I plan to use it to do something in the international futures market, and also dabble in foreign exchange and US stocks."

He paused, his tone carrying an undeniable confidence:

"You two just need to prepare the personnel and funding structure. I will personally issue the specific trading instructions to them when the time comes."

Su Ya and Han Yue were slightly startled and immediately abandoned their relaxed weekend mood.

Their young boss's ambitions and scale were clearly far greater than they had imagined.

"Understood, Mr. Ye. I'll contact the top headhunting agencies in Hong Kong next Monday." Han Yue nodded seriously.

"There's one more thing," Ye Chen said, pausing his typing and looking at Han Yue.

"Please expedite my application for a Hong Kong and Macau travel permit these next few days, preferably with an expedited business visa."

"I'm going to Hong Kong Island at the end of the month to check out the market there and meet the two traders you hired."

"Okay, Mr. Ye, I'll prepare the relevant materials for you right away." Han Yue immediately replied and made a note of it.

After explaining all the key points, Ye Chen stood up, straightened his clothes, and his expression returned to its previous nonchalant state.

"Alright, I'm relieved to have you guys keeping an eye on things. Try to work less overtime on weekends from now on. I don't want to be known for exploiting my employees."

Han Yue threw the soy milk cup into the trash can and replied with a smile.

"President Ye, please don't worry about us. The salary you pay is enough for us to stay at the company on weekends."

"Alright, stop professing your loyalty."

Ye Chen waved his hand and turned to walk towards the gate.

"Go home and rest as soon as you're done. I have other things to do this afternoon, so I'll be going now."

Han Yue followed behind him and saw him to the elevator.

"Take care, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen nodded and stepped into the elevator.

The metal door slowly closed, shutting out the company's hustle and bustle behind them.

The elevator took him down to the underground parking garage, and Ye Chen got into the driver's seat of the Mercedes-Benz S600.

At that moment, the phone screen lit up; it was a WeChat message from Xu Jiao.

"Ye Chen, it's almost noon. I'm all ready. Where shall we meet?"

It was followed by a cute, waiting cat emoji.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Ye Chen quickly typed a reply on the screen: "I'm on my way. See you at the east gate of the school in twenty minutes."

After sending the message, he put down his phone, started the car, and drove out of the garage.

The car entered the main road and headed towards the university town.

After parking the car, he strolled directly toward the agreed-upon east gate of the school.

From afar, Ye Chen spotted Xu Jiao standing at the East Gate.

She was clearly dressed up carefully today, not wearing her usual casual clothes for class, but instead wearing a fitted light-colored short dress and a pair of clean white sneakers, making her look youthful and playful.

The skirt hem stopped just above the knee, perfectly showcasing her two fair and shapely legs, which were very eye-catching in the sunlight.

Seeing Ye Chen approaching, Xu Jiao's eyes lit up, and she walked lightly to meet him.

As she approached, a fresh and pleasant scent of young girl wafted over me.

"Have you been waiting long?" Ye Chen greeted him with a smile.

"No, I just came down too." Xu Jiao put her hands behind her back, turned slightly to look up at him, leaned forward unconsciously, and her voice was a few degrees softer than usual: "Shall we go to that Western restaurant I mentioned now?"
