Shi Yuanbin studied Gu Jin carefully for a moment. Seeing that she wasn’t joking, a determined gleam emerged in her beautiful eyes.
He stood up, picked up Gu Jin’s ID card from the table, glanced at it, then put it back and said with a smile, "Alright, let Qirong use the company car to take Ms. Gu to the bank. I’ll arrange for the others to print the contract."
Gu Jin picked up the ID and bank card from the table, stood up and led the little one to Sun Qi, who stood dumbstruck.
Seeing his friend so shocked, Shi Yuanbin gave him a pat on the back. When the other regained his senses, he repeated what he’d just said.
"Got it."
Sun Qirong took the car keys and left with Gu Jin and An Mingji.
The group went to the largest bank in Shenzhen, directly withdrew 170,000 in cash, and put the money into a black briefcase. Sun Qirong felt as if he were dreaming.
Back at the company, when placing the briefcase of money in front of Shi Yuanbin, Sun Qirong swallowed hard, unzipped the briefcase to show his friend the money.
Shi Yuanbin believed Gu Jin genuinely wanted to invest in the company. Her attire and temperament were not like that of an ordinary young girl.
Yet, seeing the money made him unabashedly happy. With this sum, upcoming project funds wouldn’t face any interruptions.
Since the other party was sincere, Shi Yuanbin’s attitude became even more earnest.
He handed the newly printed contract to Gu Jin, who had just entered the office, saying, "Ms. Gu, please review the contract, and let me know if you have any feedback."
Gu Jin gave it a quick glance. The current contract wasn’t perfect, but her entitled portion was secure; as the law evolves, so will the contract.
She wasn’t worried and, seeing no issues with the contract, she signed her name without hesitation.
The moment she signed the contract, she became one of the shareholders in Shenfeng Technology, destined to be a founding elder of the tech company.
With Gu Jin signing so decisively, Shi Yuanbin quickly followed suit, signing his name on all three copies of the contract.
One copy for the company, one for Gu Jin, and as the person with the greatest authority in the company, Shi Yuanbin also had a copy.
Shi Yuanbin pushed one of the contracts to Gu Jin and extended his hand, "Pleasure to collaborate."
Gu Jin smiled, extended her hand, "Pleasure to collaborate."
She held the contract in her hands, not even glancing at the 170,000 on the desk, and said with a smile, "Before coming to the company, I went to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and purchased 3,500 shares of Shenfeng Technology, worth ten thousand yuan."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuanbin raised an eyebrow, while Sun Qirong looked utterly astonished.
Neither had expected Gu Jin to come from there or to have already bought stock in Shenfeng Technology.
Shi Yuanbin shook his head, laughing, "It seems Ms. Gu has great confidence in the company."
Gu Jin squinted her eyes, smiling with a hint of calculation and expectation, "Naturally, so from now on, work hard; I have high hopes for you."
She referred to "you" and not the company, which carried certain implications.
If Shenfeng Technology’s leader wasn’t Shi Yuanbin, without his unique and forward-thinking vision and his genius business mind, Shenfeng Technology might not have gone far.
Now seeing the young version of Shi Yuanbin, Gu Jin was most familiar with the older man, just over fifty, already with white hair.
His handsome face showed no deep frown lines between his brows as in later years, nor the indifference in his eyes from having faced the cold and warmth of the world.
