Hearing Yang Rou's voice, Chen Yan paused.
Yang Rou coming to the gaming company to find him?
That was rare.
Could it be that something had happened at the film and television company?
As he thought this, Chen Yan couldn't help but pat Yu Qiao Qiao on the shoulder, signaling that he would step out for a moment.
Yu Qiao Qiao obediently nodded and said to Chen Yan, "Go ahead with your work. I'll just stay here sculpting."
Chen Yan nodded, stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Standing outside was Yang Rou, still dressed as a professional businesswoman, appearing both aloof and assertive.
When Yang Rou saw Chen Yan open the door, she didn't look inside but said to him, "President Chen, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. I went to your office earlier and you weren't there. A colleague told me you were in the clay sculpture room."
Chen Yan nodded, closed the door casually, and said to Yang Rou, "Alright. Let's talk in my office."
Saying this, Chen Yan led Yang Rou to his office.
After arriving at the office, Chen Yan gestured for Yang Rou to sit on the sofa while asking, "President Yang, what would you like to drink?"
Yang Rou responded succinctly, "Water."
Chen Yan poured her a glass of water, placed it on the table in front of her, and then sat opposite her.
Once seated, Chen Yan asked, "Did you come to see me because there's an issue with the company?"
Yang Rou shook her head, "No issues with the company. I just have a proposal I'd like you to look at."
Saying this, she passed the proposal she had been holding to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan had already noticed this proposal, so he naturally took it.
After Chen Yan took it, Yang Rou said, "President Chen. This is a vehicle acquisition plan I've worked on."
"Our company is growing faster and faster."
"Not counting the gaming company, just the film and television company already has more than fifty people."
"Because film projects require negotiations with various partners, executives often need to use cars."
"Previously, as our company didn't have any successful projects yet, I've always rented cars."
"Now that 'Lost Love in 23 Days' has become so successful, I think... maybe we can buy a few cars?"
Hearing Yang Rou's words while looking at the proposal in his hand, Chen Yan was momentarily startled.
'Buy cars?'
He couldn't help but remember the plan he had made on the night they accounted for 200 million in fixed assets...
Actually, after receiving the 200 million in asset returns, Chen Yan had already planned certain allocations.
Firstly, without saying, he had decided to give the necklace to Lu Man.
Secondly, he decided to live in the 200 square meter luxury apartment himself.
He had been living in his parents' house, and now that he was wealthier, he certainly wanted a better living situation.
Next, for the various properties located in different cities, Chen Yan planned to take a tour of them when he had time, then rent them out as a way to generate income while waiting for them to appreciate in value.
As for the remaining small house, Chen Yan decided to gift it to Yu Qiao Qiao.
In terms of his relationship with Boss Qiao Qiao, apart from displaying some indifference to her feelings when they first met, Chen Yan had gradually become more affectionate and always restrained himself.
This was because he realized how pure and adorable Boss Qiao Qiao was.
He didn't want to spoil this rare purity in the world.
Thus, Chen Yan didn't plan to give Boss Qiao Qiao a mansion. He felt that, at least for now, a cozy small house of just over 60 square meters might be the warm harbor Boss Qiao Qiao needed. It would also be her first home on Qin Island.
Regarding how to properly gift this house to Boss Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan had made detailed plans that night and had already started implementing them.
Once he had decided the fate of the property and jewelry, the remaining consideration was the cars.
In fact, over the past few months, Chen Yan had also noticed the strain on the company's need for cars, so he planned to wait until the car returned the funds to him, then hand it over to Yang Rou for arrangement.
Of course, it wouldn't be a giveaway. There must be a clear separation of private and public interests.
Chen Yan thought about "renting" these cars to the company. Just like he had initially rented the villa to Lu Man, the company would pay him monthly. This way, it would relieve the company's car shortage, and Chen Yan could also earn some pocket money.
A win-win solution.
Thus, after making his plans that night, Chen Yan wrote up a simple vehicle use plan, ready to give to Yang Rou.
Unexpectedly... he hadn't managed to find Yang Rou before she came to him first.
As he thought about this, Chen Yan looked over the vehicle acquisition plan in his hand.
Yang Rou's request was modest, asking for just three cars— one million-level vehicle and two four-hundred-thousand business vehicles, representing a prudent and home-bound approach.
However... Chen Yan had ten luxury cars in his possession!
With his own cars available, why spend money to buy others?
So, thinking this, Chen Yan set the proposal aside and said to Yang Rou, "President Yang. I've looked over the plan, and I feel... it's not quite right."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou's first reaction was that Chen Yan thought it was too expensive.
After all, the company was a startup, and the largest expenditure had been the production cost for 'Lost Love in 23 Days'; they hadn't spent much else.
So, her sudden request to spend 2 million on asset acquisition could understandably meet with opposition from Chen Yan.
Thinking this, Yang Rou frowned slightly and thought about how to persuade Chen Yan.
However, before she could finalize a plan, she heard Chen Yan say, "I think... the cars are a bit too cheap. They do not match our status."
Hearing what Chen Yan said, Yang Rou couldn't help but look up at him.
Then she saw Chen Yan stand up, walk to the desk, pull open a drawer, take out a file, then come back to her side and hand it to her.
Yang Rou reflexively took the document.
Then she heard Chen Yan whisper in her ear, "We're running a company. Let's not be too stingy."
"With better facilities, our employees can work comfortably and create more value."
"So, I've also drafted a related vehicle use plan."
"You can have a look."
Listening to Chen Yan say this, Yang Rou lowered her head to read Chen Yan's plan.
Seeing the start of the plan, Yang Rou was momentarily startled.
Because the first vehicle Chen Yan selected was the same as the one in the administrative proposal, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan valued at a million yuan.
This type of car, as a business vehicle, was grand and discreet. It was the first choice for many company presidents.
Yang Rou nodded slightly, feeling reassured by her boss's vision. A casually chosen vehicle was the same as one selected by professionals.
However, she was curious, if Chen Yan's plan also included a Mercedes-Benz S-Class for the president's use, along with a couple of several hundred thousand yuan cars, it seemed... no different from the administrative proposal.
Why then did Chen Yan oppose that proposal?
With this question in mind, Yang Rou continued reading.
Then, when she saw the second vehicle, Yang Rou was astounded.
A Mercedes-Maybach worth two million yuan!?
Is the company considering buying this car?
Isn't that a bit expensive?
And when she saw the third one, she was even more stunned.
A Bentley worth three million yuan?
The earlier S-Class and Maybach weren't the president's vehicles?
This three-million-yuan car was the president's car?
The other million-level luxury cars were for the executives?
Isn't that overly extravagant?
Seeing this, Yang Rou was unable to sit still and hurriedly skimmed through Chen Yan's plan.
But after finishing, Yang Rou was numb.
Three business vehicles with a total worth of six million yuan, one A-class RV worth five million, and one... top-tier business luxury vehicle worth over ten million!
Is this the type of vehicles a company with total assets of less than fifty million should buy?
Is this really not something only a top-ranked, large film and television company would purchase?
The thought had barely formed before Yang Rou dismissed it: because she recalled... that other large companies in the industry didn't even indulge to this extent.
Only some internet conglomerates would equip such high-level vehicles.
With this in mind, Yang Rou looked at Chen Yan and candidly said, "President Chen. I think these vehicles are a bit too expensive."
"Our company is just starting, and we need to reserve funds for projects."
"Only this way can we grow like a rolling snowball."
"And not by allocating limited funds to vehicle acquisitions."
Hearing Yang Rou's words, Chen Yan asked indifferently, "Then, do you think these cars are good?"
Yang Rou didn't hesitate to nod, "Good. But..."
Chen Yan waved his hand to interrupt her, "Good is good enough."
"As for the money issue, don't worry about it."
"All these cars are personally purchased by me. When the time comes, I'll lease them to the company at a slightly lower price than the market rate."
"The company won't need to spend so much cash, so it won't hinder new projects or further expansion."
"Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Hearing what Chen Yan said, even the typically composed Yang Rou couldn't help but have her mind go blank for a moment.
After a while, she regained her composure, looked at Chen Yan with a complex expression...
'What is the identity of this young man?'
'Buying tens of millions worth of luxury cars on a whim, then leasing them to the company?'
'Is this squandering? Or does he really want the company to develop?'
For a moment, Yang Rou was at a loss for how to describe Chen Yan's approach.
Over the years, in the film industry, she had seen many bosses who pilfered money from the company or laundered money.
But it was indeed the first time she had seen... someone spending their own money to buy assets and subsidize the company's use. Not using company funds nor putting the company in debt.
It's almost as if these assets cost him nothing...
Although she didn't understand why Chen Yan had made this decision, what Yang Rou was sure of was: Chen Yan truly wanted to develop this company.
This... was at least a good thing.
So, thinking this, Yang Rou could only nod her head and said coolly, "Satisfied."
Seeing Yang Rou agree to his plan, Chen Yan nodded and then continued, "By the way, since you are here, I have something else to tell you."
"Our company will need to move in a while. Tell the company's employees in advance so they can prepare."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Rou nodded again, "Alright, boss."
After finishing her sentence, the usually taciturn Yang Rou, perhaps impulsively, asked, "Where are we moving to?"
