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

The next morning.

12th floor of Zhangjiang Integrated Circuit Port.

The Star Interactive office has been completely transformed.

Han Yue is very efficient.

In just one day, seven or eight new faces appeared in the office area, and the workstations, computers, filing cabinets, and visitor registration forms were all neatly arranged.

Lin Xiaozheng, the receptionist, was organizing documents with her head down.

She wore a white shirt with a slender waist, and a black pencil skirt that accentuated her long, shapely legs. She looked youthful and beautiful, yet also exuded the caution and seriousness of someone just starting out in the workplace.

In the office area, several newly arrived development and operations staff huddled together, whispering among themselves.

"What's the background of this company? They're just starting out and they're providing all employees with top-of-the-line Apple laptops?"

"The chairs aren't cheap either; I just checked the prices."

"I heard the boss is really young. Is he some rich kid out here experiencing life?"

Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity.

9:30.

The glass door was pushed open.

Ye Chen stepped into the company.

He was wearing a well-tailored dark casual suit, his shoulders and back were straight, and his figure was clean and neat.

With her cuffs slightly rolled up, the Vacheron Constantin watch on her wrist gleamed with a subtle, cool light.

Lin Xiao quickly stood up straight, clasped her hands together, and her voice was a little strained.

"Good morning, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen stopped, a bright and cheerful smile on his face, and casually tapped the front desk.

"Don't be nervous, our company doesn't prey on people."

He spoke casually, with a touch of youthful affability.

"From now on, there will be plenty of coffee in the break room, so don't overwork yourself."

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly nodded.

Ye Chen smiled and turned to walk towards the conference room.

As he pushed the door open and went inside, the amiable expression on his face slowly disappeared.

The boss's composure immediately subsided.

10 o'clock sharp.

The sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed all the way from the doorway.

Suya arrived on time.

She was wearing a dark gray business suit with a silk shirt underneath, and she had a tall figure with a sleek waist and hips.

Beneath the pencil skirt, her long legs were encased in sheer black stockings, and she wore pointed high heels, exuding a cold and powerful aura.

She didn't look at the front desk much and went straight to the conference room.

Push the door open.

Take your seat.

The actions were swift and decisive, without a single wasted word.

Han Yue glanced in the direction of the conference room, immediately walked over, closed the glass door tightly, and then pulled down half of the blinds.

The noise from the office area was kept out.

Inside the meeting room.

Su Ya placed her hands on the table, her gaze fixed on Ye Chen's face.

"Mr. Ye, I heard you dare to hire me."

Her voice was cold and aloof.

"But I need to confirm a few things first."

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair, his fingers interlaced, and quietly watched her.

"explain."

"Star Interactive has just been registered and its staff has just been assembled, yet its office equipment and salary standards far exceed those of a normal startup."

Su Ya leaned forward slightly, her tone firm.

"Where does the funding come from? Where is the contractual chain? Where is the tax payment path?"

She stared at Ye Chen.

"If you want me to keep messy accounts, or two sets of accounts, I'm leaving right now."

Ye Chen looked at her and suddenly smiled.

This woman is indeed sharp.

But the stabbing was worthwhile.

At least, she's not the kind of person who would blindly sign a contract just because the boss pays her.

Ye Chen didn't rush to explain.

He raised his hand and spun the Apple laptop in front of him halfway around, pushing the screen towards Su Ya.

"Look at this first."

Suya lowered her head.

On the screen are the developer backend and transaction history pages for overseas app stores and their corresponding accounts.

The download curve has been rising steadily.

The account balance column displays a long string of numbers.

One million five hundred and twenty thousand US dollars.

Suya's gaze froze.

She didn't speak, but simply slid her fingers across the touchpad, looking through several pages of transaction records, platform settlement records, and email vouchers.

The more I looked, the calmer her expression became.

And the more serious they are.

Ye Chen said, "This money comes from overseas app stores, and there are complete records of download revenue sharing and GG income."

His voice was not high.

"Platform settlement, account deposit, and document filing."

"The money is clean."

Suya looked up at him.

"Clean sources of funds do not guarantee safety upon returning to China."

Her tone remained assertive.

"Directly transferring funds to a domestic company's account will cause problems with taxation, foreign exchange, and contractual relationships."

"If not handled properly, this money will not be a help, but a minefield."

Ye Chen stood up and walked to the whiteboard.

He picked up a marker and, without pausing, wrote several lines.

Overseas shareholders.

Hong Kong transit company.

Foreign-invested enterprises.

Technology licensing.

Service contract.

Funds were brought in in batches.

In less than two minutes, a clear structure for the return of funds appeared on the whiteboard.

It's not so complicated that laymen wouldn't understand it.

But each key moment was timed perfectly.

Su Ya's originally straight back slowly relaxed by half an inch.

Ye Chen put down the marker and turned to look at her.

"Overseas income is not directly deposited into domestic accounts."

"First, use overseas entities to take over, and then bring the funds into the domestic market in batches through compliant contracts and foreign capital injections."

"Technology licensing, service fees, equity structure, and tax records are all properly documented."

He pointed to the whiteboard.

"The accounts must be kept clean, and the chain must not be broken."

Su Ya looked at the whiteboard, and her expression finally changed.

She originally thought that Ye Chen was just a lucky young boss who had stumbled upon a trend.

But at this moment, she realized she was wrong.

This 18-year-old is more than just a product maker.

He had even thought ahead about the security of the company's most basic funds.

Moreover, he thinks things through more clearly than many seasoned business owners.

Suya remained silent for a few seconds.

Outside the conference room.

Han Yue sat at her workstation organizing documents, but her peripheral vision kept drifting towards the conference room.

Lu Yuan, carrying a water glass, passed by twice, not daring to get too close.

The new employees also quieted down.

Everyone knows that the woman who came today is no ordinary person.

She's known as a ruthless character in the industry.

The person who managed to get the former boss in came to see Ye Chen on the first day; everyone wanted to know the outcome.

In the conference room.

Su Ya stood up and straightened her skirt.

The sharpness on her face hadn't disappeared.

But that probing and defensiveness has been withdrawn.

She looked at Ye Chen, her tone becoming formal for the first time.

"Mr. Ye, I retract my previous question."

Ye Chen sat back down in his chair and looked up at her.

Su Ya lowered her head slightly.

"From today onwards, I will be in charge of Starry Sky Interactive's accounts."

"I will keep a close eye on every single penny."

"We will pay what we should pay, and we won't touch anything we shouldn't."

Ye Chen smiled.

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear."

He stretched out his hand.

"Welcome to Starry Sky Interactive, Director Su."

Suya took his hand.

Her palms were cool, but her strength was steady.

The office area fell silent almost simultaneously when the conference room door opened.

Everyone looked over.

Su Ya stood half a step behind Ye Chen, her face showing no trace of the oppressive and questioning tone she had displayed when she first entered.

Han Yue immediately understood the result.

The new employees exchanged glances, and those who had been whispering among themselves sat up straight.

After Suya officially started her job, her movements were frighteningly fast.

Half an hour later, she directly convened a meeting with Han Yue and several department heads.

"A detailed invoice must be attached to the expense report."

"All purchase contracts are kept on file, and supplier information is archived simultaneously."

"Expenditures exceeding 50,000 must be approved by General Manager Ye."

"Fund transfers must be reported three days in advance, without exception."

As the rules and regulations were implemented one by one, the previously relaxed atmosphere of the new company in the office area was quickly tightened.

Han Yue sat beside her, quickly taking notes.

Ye Chen sat in his office, watching the team outside gradually come together, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The financial situation is stable.

Only when someone is watching over the company's finances can the company truly stand firm.

Just then, the phone on the table vibrated.

On the screen was a Shanghai local phone number without any notes.

Ye Chen picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.

A clear female voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone tinged with a hint of probing.

"Mr. Ye, hello, I am Xia Shiqing from Mercedes-Benz Center."

"Your official Shanghai license plate has been issued."

"When is a convenient time for you? I'll deliver it to you."

Ye Chen glanced at the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

His tone was flat.

"I'll go to the shop then, and I can change the license plate there directly."
