Its early August across Long Country, summer has been in full swing however the pass few days the weather has been overcast, but this mornings' was much more bitter than the ones before. A freak storm came across the City of Mu and the Prefecture with waves raging making beach goers frown. Wind speed picked up swirling the trees to and fro. Luckily it was a Sunday so not many people were eager to go outside and they enjoyed their day off in the comfort of their home. 

Nan'Ke on the other hand was already in a coffee shop with two young beauties. They were both twenty three (23) years old. Qiao Meng Yao and Li Na had arrived for the interview Nan'Ke had set up the previous day. "So about the job, it is a secretarial position where you both would be my secretaries in different compacity." He told them the job description together as he was interviewing both girls at the same time before carrying on.

"Now it may seem small, but truth be told it is definitely not, as I am not some low level department head looking for a beauty to look at in my office. I am currently the Chairman and CEO of 'Shenghuo Group'." He said to the girls who look at him confusedly as they hadn't heard that company before. "I never heard of that company before" Li Na said where Meng Yao soon followed "Me neither". 

Then Nan'Ke explained, "I know, the company currently isn't public and it does not do much in the grand scheme of things, as it just basically a home for other companies. I'm sure you heard of the recent rumblings of a company called 'Shenghuo Logistics'." After saying that the girls had a shocked look on their face as it was recently reported that a company name 'Shenghuo Logistics' bought a building in business square at the center of Mu city worth around $200 million. 

'Ariel' had used it out of the $780 million dollars Nan'Ke gave the 'Reapers' to begin their company operation on the surface. Seeing what he was implying the girls using their top tier scholar brain said in unison "that's your company?" "Yes, it is a subsidiary of 'Shenghuo Group' but it is a well kept secret, one you would have to keep with you whether or not you decide working for me as you would have to sign an NDA after this meeting." 

The young ladies nod their heads as they understood what he meant, businessmen like to keep their cards close to the chest and 'Shenghuo Group' is one big card considering 'Shenghuo Logistics' was treated as one. Knowing the opportunity in front them they both thought the same but Meng Yao asked first, "What would be our duties considering you said that both of us would be hired if we agreed?" 

*Chuckles*

Nan'Ke laughed a bit before answering the questioned, "Well it goes towards your field of study seeing you, Li Na,  study Business and Economic Finance you would be my business secretary, whereas your official position would be my right hand 'girl' you would be basically running the company or companies on my behalf." He said before moving on, "I would provide you with the business guide as to show you the direction I want the company to go, and thus you carryout the necessary tasks in order to achieve such goals."

He then turn to Meng Yao before explaining her part, "On the other hand Meng Yao has studied Liberal Arts which creates a different dynamic. I would have you as my personal secretary as your official post, however your scope of work would vary widely. To make things simple you would be responsible with scheduling my itinerary after liaising with Li Na. If Li Na doesn't need me to handle certain aspects of the business like approval and meetings and such you would probably just make note of my future activities." 

He continued, "But most importantly you would be face of the company in the sense of public communications. With the background of your field of study I don't see any issue with creating meaningful speeches and handling press releases as well as reporters' questioning." 

Both women were stun, from certain aspects it may be seen as a babysitter role, controlling his life schedule, however they were actually given power to run what they both believe a very powerful group. However although they were top students, and had some work experience in their fields they were basically newbies for the type of scale he was asking them to take on so they had a few reservations. Li Na asked, "For some aspects of the job role we are overqualified and in some we are underqualified, what is the renumeration for such a position?" 

Seeing the questioned he knew what she meant as she is a newbie but being offered a CEO proxy role seem to good to be true especially if the wage don't match, "No worries, you both would be paid a starting salary of $75,000 a month for six (6) months after that if I am impressed with your work the salary would increase to $150,000 a month for the remainder of the contract which is just three (3) years. So all in all if you worked for me well in three years time you would be paid a total of $4,950,000 before tax." (75000*6+150000*6+150000*24)

*GASP*

They both took in a breath, shocked at the amount of money they could be earning if they worked for him, which was in the bracket of those with ten+ (10) years in experience would earn. "Are you sure? I mean we would basically graduate in a few weeks and we don't have much experience. What would happen if we fail to meet your expectations? Would their be penalties to be paid?" Meng Yao asked. 

"No such conditions would be put into your respective contracts, if you both end up not meeting my standards then it is on me because I hand-picked both of you from the list of one thousand (1000) students. I believe you both have what it takes." Seeing that he believe in them brought a sense of confidence in both girls, however they were not rash to jump to decision yet, "I think we both need some time to consider this" Li Na spoke although the both girls knew each other in passing they were not close but Meng Yao agreed with her and allowed her to speak on her behalf. 

"That's fine, take your time, I would be starting operation in two weeks anyway so I would give you seven (7) days to think about the proposition. So you have until Next Monday to contact me, if not I would seek other candidates." He got up after he finished speaking, he shook both their hand thanking them for their precious time before paying the bill and leaving the girls in a state of disbelief. 

It was afternoon when Nan'Ke arrived home only to see a woman waiting for him at his front door, unfortunately for him, it was not Bai Xiu Xiu this time as Yang Yu walk towards him before saying, "Mr. Zhang Nan'Ke, I am Special Agent Yang Yu of the National Intelligence Bureau, would you please come with me?" She said as she pointed towards the cars where three (3) men in black suits armed with guns were looking at him. He smiled before replying. "My Pleasure."
