Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 243 Deputy General Manager of Minglu Culture

Zhang Kairan had a clear goal and got straight to the point: "President Ye, I am very interested in the position of General Manager of Minglu Culture."

His words were full of confidence, clearly showing that he had great confidence in his resume and abilities.

Ye Fan understood that this position was reserved for Su Luming and could not be changed.

"Mr. Zhang's abilities are beyond question; however, we already have a specific candidate in mind for the position of general manager." He tried to guide the other party to consider other senior positions. "We are building a core team, and someone with Mr. Zhang's talent can also play a huge role as COO or in charge of key business segments."

However, Zhang Kairan remained resolute, shaking his head slightly and saying, "President Ye, thank you for your high regard. But at this stage, my career goal is to find a platform where I can take full control. If your company cannot offer a general manager position, then I can only express my regret."

His tone was polite, but it conveyed an unquestionable tone.

Seeing this, Ye Fan said no more. He knew that forcing things wouldn't work, especially for an elite like Zhang Kairan; keeping him would be pointless.

Although he lacks talent, there is no need to force it.

Ye Fan had no choice but to see the guest off.

In contrast, Tang Huai'an's demands were much more pragmatic.

When Ye Fan expressed his hope that Tang Huai'an would serve as the deputy general manager and actually assume the responsibilities of the general manager, Tang Huai'an fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

He tapped his fingers lightly on his knee, weighing the pros and cons.

Ye Fan then offered an even more attractive prospect: "Mr. Tang, Minglu Culture is in its initial stage, and you will be in charge of its actual operation. This is an excellent opportunity to hone your skills and prove yourself. If you do well, whether you are transferred to another company under my umbrella as the head or gain access to a larger development platform and resource support, it will not be just empty talk."

He looked at Tang Huai'an and said sincerely, "Of course, it's not just about the prospects; the compensation we offer will match your responsibilities and contributions."

He only considered it for a moment before choosing to join the company.

He clearly sensed the sincerity and weight in Ye Fan's words. More importantly, he longed for an opportunity to demonstrate his abilities and prove himself: "President Ye, I am willing to accept this challenge."

Ye Fan asked, "When can you start work?"

Tang Huai'an replied, "Anytime is fine."

"Very good!" Ye Fan nodded in satisfaction and gestured to Miao Zi, "Bring the deputy general manager's contract."

Miao Zi quickly prepared the contract.

After carefully reviewing the terms and confirming that everything was correct, Tang Huai'an solemnly signed his name in the signature area. Miao Zi, on behalf of the company and Ye Fan, affixed the company seal to the "Party A" section.

After the signing was completed, Ye Fan stood up, walked to Tang Huai'an's side, and patted him on the shoulder: "President Tang, although your position is deputy general manager, the responsibility on your shoulders is that of a general manager. What you just mentioned about future development may sound like empty promises to many people."

He then changed the subject, his tone becoming unusually frank: "But I don't like to mistreat people who actually do the work. I understand that your annual salary at Microsoft China is around 45 RMB. Here, your base annual salary is tentatively set at one million RMB."

Upon hearing this, Tang Huai'an's body visibly trembled, and his pupils dilated slightly. Even for someone as composed as him, this number far exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that a significant increase would be good enough, but he didn't expect Ye Fan to be so generous.

Ye Fan continued, "As for subsequent bonuses and stock options, that depends on how well you lead Minglu Culture. The principle is: the more capable you are, the more you are rewarded."

Tang Huai'an took a deep breath, a long-lost warmth and a strong sense of being recognized welling up in his heart.

He stood up, grasped Ye Fan's hand, and said firmly, even with a hint of excitement, "President Ye, rest assured! I, Tang Huai'an, will do my utmost to live up to your expectations!"

This isn't just empty talk; it's like the boss has baked a hot, fragrant pancake and served it to you! This kind of genuine respect and encouragement is more powerful than any vague promise.

"I believe in you," Ye Fan said with a smile. "Now I have an important task for you. I'll give you a week to build up the company's basic team and ensure everyone is in place. Once the company is on track, it will be your turn to shine. Find Secretary Miao in a bit; she'll give you a reference list of candidates for basic positions from the headhunting firm."

"Okay! Mr. Ye, I'll get started right away!" Tang Huai'an naturally had no objection to this.

......

Around 11:30.

Wang Kaiwen also came to the company.

He is also young and ambitious, and his goal is to become the general manager of Minglu Culture.

Ye Fan felt helpless and had no choice but to repeat his previous statement, and also provided an alternative solution for the business manager.

However, Wang Kaiwen's attitude was exactly the same as Zhang Kairan's; he had no interest in positions other than general manager.

Ye Fan could only politely end the interview with regret, seeing off this equally outstanding talent whose goals did not align with his.

Wang Kaiwen's figure had just disappeared outside the office door.

Liu Ruyan also happened to arrive at Zifeng Tower and took the elevator to the 82nd floor.

A slightly hurried yet steady clatter of high heels echoed down the corridor. Miao Zi led Liu Ruyan into Ye Fan's office.

Liu Ruyan walked in.

She wore a well-tailored dark gray suit, which made her look even more capable, but a hint of fatigue could not be hidden in her eyes. She had just finished dealing with a lot of things at the headquarters of the Red Bean Group and rushed over without stopping.

When Ye Fan saw Liu Ruyan enter, a smile appeared on his face as he said, "You're here!"

"Yes!" Liu Ruyan nodded with a smile.

"You've worked hard." Ye Fan keenly noticed her state and, without any unnecessary pleasantries, went straight to the point.

He said to Chen Lichuan, "This is Liu Ruyan, the president of our Hongdou Group."

Chen Lichuan immediately stood up and extended his hand to Liu Ruyan: "Hello, Ms. Liu, I've heard so much about you. I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

Her gaze swept quickly and professionally over Chen Lichuan, a mixture of scrutiny and sincerity in her eyes. She extended her hand with a graceful and welcoming smile: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Liu Ruyan, President of the Hongdou Group. Welcome to the company!"

Chen Lichuan and Liu Ruyan shook hands firmly, and he could feel the calm and composed aura of someone who had been through many battles.

Ye Fan didn't exchange pleasantries and asked, "Did you bring the contract?"

"Yes, everything is ready."

Liu Ruyan responded and deftly took out two beautifully bound contracts from her briefcase, handing them directly to Chen Lichuan: "Mr. Chen, these are the appointment contract and supplementary agreement for the General Manager of Hongdou Capital, especially the parts concerning the salary structure and responsibilities. Please review them carefully."

Chen Lichuan took the heavy document, thanked him, and sat down in a corner of the sofa to read it intently.
