Chapter 37 It turns out he was the real godfather.
So this is what they call a secretary?
Chen Jiang didn't know what to say, and it was obvious that Yan Wenshuo had already made arrangements. If he said no, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"sure."
"Okay, as long as you're satisfied."
Seeing that Chen Jiang agreed readily, Yan Wenshuo nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned to look at Chen happy and the others beside him and waved his hand, "Alright, there's nothing for you to do here. Go ahead and leave. I came here to introduce you to each other."
Hearing Yan Wenshuo say this, the group was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant:
"Yes, Mr. Yan."
Then one by one they turned and walked out of the office, but as they left, they couldn't help but have more questions about Chen Jiang... How powerful must his background be to be treated so differently by Chairman Yan?
In fact, Chen Jiang also had many questions about this issue.
He was lucky, but in his opinion, he didn't really have anything outstanding. It was his phone call that helped Yan Wenshuo get the position of chairman of R&F Group, and he was probably already being generous by giving him a large sum of money.
After all, given their social class, it's unlikely they'll have much interaction.
It turns out that Yan Wenshuo not only doesn't want to get rid of him, but seems to be grooming him for important positions... Not to mention, Chen Jiang recently did some research online and found that there are fewer than 100 financial investment companies in China with capital of tens of billions.
Faced with all this money... is my small favor really worth repaying?
Even if you're incredibly lucky, your luck should still conform to basic logic, even if the probability of that logic is very low...
Yan Wenshuo, however, was unaware of Chen Jiang's thoughts. He assumed that Chen Jiang was under some pressure from his series of appointments and comforted him with a smile:
"Xiao Jiang, are you feeling the pressure?"
"I already told you not to worry about your abilities. Just follow along, learn and observe more, and ask others if you don't understand anything."
"And if you really want to learn, you can also attend some refresher courses, which should be of great help to you."
Chen Jiang snapped out of his reverie, glanced at Yan Wenshuo's amiable face, and, a thought struck him, said:
"Actually, it's alright. I don't understand anything, so the pressure isn't that great... But, Uncle Yan, there's something I don't quite understand."
"Oh?" Yan Wenshuo looked at him curiously: "What don't you understand? Tell me?"
Chen Jiang didn't keep him in suspense, scratching the back of his head and asking with a puzzled look:
"I'm just an ordinary person. I accidentally saved Old Master Liu once, which is how I helped you, but it doesn't seem like I deserve such a great reward from you, Uncle Yan... So, may I be so bold as to ask why?"
"this......"
Yan Wenshuo raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes. His usually refined and composed expression was now replaced by surprise, but it quickly turned into a faint smile.
"You're... really brave, aren't you?"
"But I thought you would keep this to yourself."
"As for the answer to your question... there are two, and I can tell you right now."
Chen Jiang looked at him, waiting for his answer.
"The first answer is complicated but not important. It's because I've just taken over, and the financial investment company I was promoting is an important part of my strategy. I need someone I can trust to help me control the situation."
"You are not only suitable, but you also have my deep trust, so even if you lack ability, you are qualified for this position."
After speaking, he paused, looked at Chen Jiang, and continued:
"Then comes the second answer, which is very simple but the most important... You've probably forgotten it completely, but actually, this isn't the first time we've met at the hospital."
"what?"
These words completely baffled Chen Jiang: "You mean...we've met before?"
"Haha~~" Yan Wenshuo couldn't help but laugh: "We've not only met, we've even chatted a bit, so I recognized you at a glance when we were at the hospital."
Chen Jiang was even more confused. He looked up at Yan Wenshuo, wondering why he had no memory of him at all.
"It seems you don't remember at all, so I'll tell you then." Yan Wenshuo wasn't one to keep people in suspense, so he said directly, "Sixteen years ago, at your father's funeral, I and a few comrades were offering incense to your father. It was the one who asked you to call him 'Dad' back then."
"Does this ring a bell?"
Chen Jiang felt a jolt in his head, and when he looked up at Yan Wenshuo again, the face suddenly seemed much more familiar: "Ah?? So that means, Uncle Yan, you are...?"
"Yes, your father and I were comrades-in-arms, and we had a life-or-death bond." Yan Wenshuo's brows furrowed with a hint of reminiscence, and he couldn't help but sigh, "We originally agreed to take care of you and your mother, but your mother was too strong-willed and basically never contacted me. Later, as the years went by, we completely lost contact."
"If I hadn't run into you at the hospital and checked your situation, I wouldn't have known your mother was gone too."
"Sigh... But no matter what, you're all alone now. If I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have bothered, but now that I have, I can't pretend I didn't."
"So stop overthinking it, your Uncle Yan has no designs on you."
"I... I really didn't expect this, Uncle Yan..." Chen Jiang's lips trembled slightly. He never expected things to turn out this way. For a moment, besides being excited, he also felt a little dumbfounded.
According to Uncle Yan's explanation, the two should have never crossed paths in their lives, but by sheer luck they met again, and by chance he helped Yan Wenshuo advance further, which also changed the trajectory of his own life.
But in short, if this is the truth, then he really doesn't need to worry about any unexpected events.
"Heh, what's so surprising?" Yan Wenshuo waved his hand dismissively. "If it weren't for your Uncle Yan keeping an eye on things, do you think you'd even get your hands on that inheritance?"
"Alright, alright, I don't like thinking about the past, so you should try to think about it less too."
"Anyway, your Uncle Yan is going to be your protector from now on. You better watch yourself and don't cause any trouble that will drag me down with you!"
These words were direct, but Chen Jiang couldn't help but smile.
He had been somewhat restrained before, but now that his identity was revealed, his true nature was starting to show.
However, he was almost the same; he had been a bit cautious before, but now he had completely relaxed.
"Then you can rest assured. As long as you don't cause trouble, Uncle Yan, I'll definitely be fine!"
"Get lost!"
Yan Wenshuo chuckled, patted the table, and then called out towards the door, "Hey you, come in here."
The office door opened, and Xiaoya walked in. Sensing that the atmosphere in the room was slightly off, she cautiously glanced at Chen Jiang: "Chairman Yan, what can I do for you?"
Yan Wenshuo pointed at Chen Jiang:
"Take this kid to the HR department for onboarding later. His position is consultant manager, and his salary will be at the department manager level."
"OK."
"Also, you'll be his personal secretary from now on, and we'll be transferred to the new company together in a few days."
"Huh?" Xiaoya was a little confused.
Yan Wenshuo ignored her and looked at Chen Jiang instead:
"And you, your aunt is out for the next few days and probably won't be back for a day or two. I'll invite you over for a meal so you can get to know her better. Also, you can meet my sister."
"good......"
Chen Jiang nodded, but for some reason, he felt a little scared when he heard the second half of his sentence, and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yan... the sister you mentioned... my dad didn't make any special agreement with you, did he?"
"Please don't do anything reckless, it'll be really embarrassing later."
"What special agreement?"
This question startled Yan Wenshuo for a moment, but he quickly realized what it meant and angrily slammed his fist on the table:
"Get out of here!"
"My daughter is only sixteen. What are you thinking?"
"Oh, then I'm relieved!"
Chen Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Before Yan Wenshuo could say anything more, he quickly grabbed the bewildered Xiao Ya and ran out of the office...
