Chapter 239 Why don't you seriously consider it?
A set of lustrous and warm purple clay teaware is placed on top.
Next to the tea table, a set of comfortable leather sofas creates a small reception area, with a small, temperature-controlled wine cabinet cleverly embedded beside the sofas.
Several abstract oil paintings are carefully hung on the office walls, their colors complementing the style of the space.
The most eye-catching feature is the row of carefully maintained green plants near the floor-to-ceiling windows, including the elegant small-leaved red nanmu and the thick-leaved monstera.
Their placement was clearly deliberate, both decorating the space and not obstructing the magnificent city view outside the window. Each pot was full of life, with tiny water droplets still clinging to its leaves.
This meticulousness and attention to detail clearly indicate that it was not done casually.
It's obvious that the office layout was designed by Miao Zi.
Ye Fan's gaze swept around the room, finally landing on Miao Zi's face. A genuine smile appeared on his lips: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness! It's very comfortable."
He pointed specifically to the row of green plants: "Especially these little guys, they've chosen a really good spot."
Miao Zi felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, turned her head slightly, and said softly, "I just happened to have a couple of days off, so I came over to keep an eye on the decoration progress. I just casually arranged these little green plants. If you don't think they suit your taste, I can arrange for someone to come and fix them and rearrange them."
"No need, it's already perfect, I like it very much." Ye Fan said, naturally reaching out his arm to gently put his arm around Miao Zi's slender waist, and leading her to sit down on the comfortable sofa.
The sofa's soft leather provides an excellent wrapping experience.
Ye Fan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with seriousness and a hint of barely perceptible expectation: "Why don't you... seriously consider it?"
"Consider...what?" Miao Zi's heart skipped a beat. Feeling the warmth from his arm, her body stiffened involuntarily, and her expression showed a hint of nervousness.
Ye Fan laughed, "Of course, I'll quit my job at the bank and become my secretary. How about it? With someone as professional and meticulous as you by my side, my standards for secretaries will be raised to the sky. I know your abilities very well; here, you'll definitely be able to realize your greater ambitions and accomplish something truly significant."
Upon hearing this, Miao Zi was slightly taken aback at first, then rolled her eyes in annoyance, ignoring the hand on her waist: "So you were waiting for me here? You went through all this trouble just to trick me into coming here to be your free, high-class labor!"
She scoffed and made a move to push away his hand on her waist: "I'm not doing this kind of losing business! You're not that old, but you've already mastered all those capitalist tricks, you're so wicked... I'm not going to get on your pirate ship!"
Ye Fan's arm didn't move; instead, he pulled her even closer, lowering his voice and retorting with a smile, "Who said it's a loss? On the surface, you're my secretary, but behind the scenes, you're also the boss's wife. It's a sure thing, isn't it? The better the company does, the more benefits you get, right?"
Miao Zi was speechless at his blunt and somewhat unrealistic words, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.
Her face flushed slightly, she playfully slapped his hand away, stood up somewhat flusteredly, and strode quickly to her desk: "I'm not joking with you anymore! Let's get down to business!"
She quickly turned on the computer on Ye Fan's desk and entered the password to log in to her email.
The mouse clicked quickly, and then a brand new laser printer next to it was started.
"Ye Fan, the headhunting firm has sent over the information of the shortlisted executive candidates. Come and take a look. If there are no problems, I'll send them interview invitations." Her voice had regained its competence, but the blush on her cheeks had not completely faded.
The printer emitted a soft, efficient hum as it ejected neatly bound resumes.
Miao Zi deftly organized the list and handed it to Ye Fan: "There are five candidates in total, all of whom are high-level management talents selected by headhunters based on your requirements. Their resumes are all very competitive."
Ye Fan took the thick stack of resumes, somewhat surprised: "So efficient? You found five suitable candidates in just a few days?"
Miao Zi stood by the desk, looking at Ye Fan's surprised expression, smiled, and said with a hint of smugness in her eyes: "Under normal circumstances, finding top talents with such a high degree of matching is indeed not that fast."
She then changed the subject: "However, the fact that our company paid in a substantial 20 million yuan of registered capital right after registration has been a huge magnet in the industry. Many talented individuals who were initially hesitant have become willing to take the initiative to contact us after seeing the company's strength and determination."
Ye Fan nodded knowingly, said nothing more, and lowered his head to open the first resume in his hand, looking at it intently.
Zhang Kairan, 31 years old, holds a PhD in Business Administration from Stanford University. His resume highlights his experience at Sequoia Capital, where he focused on portfolio management.

After moving to Huayi Brothers, he participated in the financing and financial management of several big-budget films, demonstrating a deep understanding of capital operations in the cultural and entertainment industry.
Gu Yuejia, 27 years old, holds a bachelor's degree in Industrial Management from Zhejiang University and a master's degree from Princeton University. Her career began in the strategic investment department of Alibaba Investment, where she participated in the acquisition of several internet content platforms.

Tang Huai'an, 36 years old, holds a bachelor's degree in Economics and Management from Peking University and a master's degree in Business Administration from Caltech.

Wang Kaiwen, 26 years old, is a graduate of Harvard University. He currently works at Walmart China headquarters as an Emerging Business Development Manager. His resume highlights the process of building a community group-buying pilot project from scratch and its initial results, demonstrating strong execution and innovative thinking.
Ye Fan put down his resume and let out a soft sigh.
The list is far more impressive than expected. All five candidates are top talents with stellar backgrounds and impeccable resumes, having honed their skills in core areas of finance, technology, the internet, entertainment, and even retail giants.
