"They’re here at the company to take some skills tests."
The young woman at the front desk explained with a smile.
After all, Lin Feng’s company was growing larger and larger.
The standards for talent and ability were also getting higher and higher.
Even though most of these job applicants were upperclassmen from Yang City University,
as far as Lin Feng was concerned, there was no reason to give them the green light automatically.
Huizi was chatting with the young woman at the front desk.
When she turned, she saw an assistant from the risk assessment team hurrying past with a document in hand.
"Xiaozhao, where are you off to in such a rush?"
Huizi called out to the flustered assistant.
When Assistant Zhao looked up and saw it was Huizi, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, it’s you, Manager. I was just about to look for you in your office!"
Huizi had recently been promoted to head of the real estate investment project and now had her own private office.
So she led Xiaozhao back to it.
Xiaozhao placed the file he was holding on Huizi’s desk. "This is the project file you sent over earlier, Manager."
Huizi took it and flipped it open. It was indeed for the single-crystal silicon project.
"What’s the risk assessment result for this project?"
The file was full of technical jargon that Huizi didn’t really understand.
So she cut to the chase and asked for the conclusion.
Assistant Zhao had come to deliver the risk assessment report in person specifically to explain it to Huizi.
After all, Huizi was primarily in charge of real estate matters, so for her to suddenly produce a file on a semiconductor materials project was unusual.
Furthermore, although Huizi was now the head of the real estate project, she was also still Lin Feng’s personal assistant.
Therefore, any member of the risk assessment team with half a brain could figure out that President Lin was probably the one who wanted it.
That was why they were taking it so seriously.
They had specifically sent Assistant Zhao to make the trip.
"I came to explain. Based on our on-site investigation and our assessment of the company’s and the project’s capabilities, we have reached a conclusion,"
Assistant Zhao said.
Huizi looked up at Assistant Zhao.
Assistant Zhao flipped the document in his hands to the last page.
"Actually, after a discussion among the team’s experts, everyone unanimously agreed that this project is very solid."
"First, the company’s credentials are quite good, and they have ample cash flow."
"Second, the patents related to this project have all been filed. It’s a real project, not a shell company."
After hearing Assistant Zhao’s explanation, Huizi understood clearly that the project had significant investment potential.
However, judging by Assistant Zhao’s expression, there was probably something else he hadn’t mentioned.
So Huizi looked at Assistant Zhao and said, "If there’s something else, just say it. It’ll save us the trouble of holding you responsible if something goes wrong later."
Hearing Huizi say this, Assistant Zhao didn’t hesitate.
"But based on the experts’ discussion, we also found a few contradictions."
The moment Huizi heard that, her expression turned serious.
Assistant Zhao continued, "Our investment firm isn’t the only one looking into this project."
"Many other investment firms are also interested in it."
"And yet, the project came directly to our President Lin..."
"There’s one more thing. The company’s attitude has been extremely cooperative... so cooperative it’s a little scary."
Assistant Zhao recalled that when they had previously requested some data on the single-crystal silicon, the other party had been surprisingly accommodating, sending the materials over with incredible speed.
Furthermore, the data they provided was extremely detailed.
Assistant Zhao even got the faint impression that the other side was desperate to form a joint venture with their firm.
But for a project that wasn’t short on cash to be this desperate, it left the members of the risk assessment team unable to figure out what the other party was truly after.
"That’s about it. It’s just their attitude that’s hard to read."
Assistant Zhao said, scratching his head.
Huizi nodded.
Huizi would organize all of this information and report back to Lin Feng.
The risk assessment team didn’t know who had brought the project to Lin Feng, but as his assistant, Huizi knew very well.
It had been recommended by one of Lin Feng’s upperclassmen.
Therefore, the final decision and judgment had to be made by Lin Feng himself.
「Early in the morning.」
Lin Feng felt completely refreshed and invigorated.
Because Chu Ling’er and Song Yaqi were now in charge of the cafeteria,
Lin Feng had specially asked Chu Ling’er to open a window serving Xiang City cuisine.
Most mornings, Lin Feng would go order a bowl.
Chu Ling’er’s cooking skills were impeccable.
Even though he ate it often, Lin Feng never got tired of it.
Especially with his bowl of Xiang City rice noodles, Chu Ling’er always came up with new variations.
And thanks to the food buff gifted by the system, as long as he finished a delicious Xiang City meal, he could maintain abundant energy for the entire day.
As a result, Lin Feng was always full of vigor.
On top of that, with the "Unyielding Golden Spear" rewarded to him by the system previously, Lin Feng was, one might say, riding high every day.
That morning, Lin Feng also saw the WeChat messages Huizi had sent.
One was a document regarding a share transfer.
The other was the assessment report from the risk assessment team.
Lin Feng briefly skimmed the assessment report.
Huizi had very thoughtfully appended all the details Assistant Zhao had reported the previous day to the end of the report.
’An exceptionally eager attitude?’
Lin Feng stared at the end of the report, lost in thought.
’A risk assessment team associated with an investment firm has to be extremely reliable and competent. Many of the experts on the team were talented individuals Yang Qiniang had poached from his own father.’
’Trust those you employ, and don’t employ those you distrust.’
Besides, the system had already boosted all of their loyalty levels toward him.
So, Lin Feng had no reason to doubt their opinion that the project had a promising future and was highly suitable for investment.
Lin Feng’s attention was focused on that final point about their eager attitude.
’Since the risk assessment team says there are no problems with the project itself, then at the very least, it proves that Wang Zongjie’s side genuinely wants to cooperate with me, and this isn’t some kind of bait.’
But this desperate desire to cooperate was what Lin Feng couldn’t quite wrap his head around.
After all, from what Lin Feng understood, Wang Zongjie didn’t lack connections.
If he really wanted to secure an investment, he didn’t necessarily have to come to him.
After all, during previous rounds of financing and expansion for Wang Zongjie’s company, there had always been a few regular investment firms involved.
This made Lin Feng a little curious about Wang Zongjie as a person.
He was mainly curious about what Wang Zongjie was truly trying to do.
’I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it,’ Lin Feng thought to himself.
’Since I don’t know what Wang Zongjie is up to right now, I’ll surely be able to see his true intentions after we officially establish a partnership.’
That’s right, Lin Feng planned to invest.
The risk assessment team had said the project was profitable and didn’t have much risk.
Lin Feng wasn’t one to turn his back on money.
As for Wang Zongjie’s intentions, he would find out sooner or later. There was no need to rush it.
