Chapter 10: Envy
On Ma family’s side, Ma Gaosheng, who had come back to his senses, was filled with regret.
If only he had believed that kid at the time. If he could have been the first to secure this patent contract, then with this merit, his position as Deli branch manager would absolutely be secure.
From the information he received, Xinghai’s this patent technology could at least guarantee that within the 20-year patent validity period, no other direction could bypass this technology.
20 years!
Now thinking about it, compared to the merit of being the first to secure the patent authorization, what he envied even more was this.
That was a sum of money sufficient to change their family’s life and step into upper-class society.
And now, it was actually held in the hands of a university student.
On the other side, Ma Wei, who had watched a movie with Xu Min and sent her home, returned home with a gloomy face.
He was even politely refused when he asked to go upstairs and sit for a while.
Ma Wei, who had always appeared as a humble gentleman in front of Xu Min, unusually lost his temper a little in front of her today.
He was angry, but not to the point of forcing himself on her. After all, with his identity, he did not lack women.
His interest in Xu Min was just strange possessiveness at play.
“Where have you been? Day in and day out, fooling around and not coming home. I put in so much effort at the company to arrange for you to be in the marketing department. And you, why don’t you learn from your university classmate Fan Ren? If you could be half as good as him, I’d be burning incense in thanks!”
Seeing his son return, Ma Gaosheng had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent, and this brat ran right into his line of fire.
Ma Wei was just about to habitually treat his father’s words as air, but upon hearing the two words “Fan Ren,” he immediately exploded.
“What Fan Ren! What is he? A lifelong wage slave, how can he compare to me!”
‘Pa’
A folder traced a beautiful arc and heavily slapped onto his face.
“Take a good look, you ignorant thing. I really don’t know what you were fooling around with during four years of university. Such a good opportunity right in front of you, and you didn’t know to cherish it!”
In Ma Gaosheng’s eyes, someone like Fan Ren, from a grassroots background with no father or mother, if he had maintained a good relationship with him during university, their family would definitely be able to get a share now.
You know, Liu Jun, who originally had nothing, had now become Xinghai’s vice president.
At the beginning when the company was just starting up and short on people, if Ma Wei could have gotten in…
Damn it, vice president!
One Hai Niu Electric Power was 5 billion in authorization for five years, plus their Deli, Aomei, and two foreign enterprises.
It could be foreseen that as vice president, he would inevitably get company dividends in the future.
Ma Gaosheng looked at his unfilial son reading the documents in front of him and suddenly felt anger rising uncontrollably.
At least don’t become enemies!
As Ma Wei flipped through the documents in his hand, his originally indignant attitude gradually turned to shock after seeing the information on them.
He knew Fan Ren was very capable!
During university, not to mention first or second place in competitions, he was always on the list.
This was also why he was jealous of Fan Ren—why should a poor kid get more attention than him.
Moreover, after Fan Ren broke up with Xu Min, he had privately gotten introduced to her through her best friend Liu Xinyue and started pursuing her.
To be honest, although Xu Min was a bit more beautiful, she was still some distance from those campus beauties.
Among the purposes of pursuing her, there was inevitably some intention to deliberately humiliate Fan Ren.
And now, that poor kid whom he thought had no background, destined to be a wage slave right after university, just like that for life.
Now he actually held in his hands a patent technology worth tens of billions.
Wasn’t he seeing things?
His father Ma Gaosheng was a practitioner in the related industry, and through years of exposure, he was not unfamiliar with wireless charging.
He could understand the content on the information. But the appearance of that name always made him feel somewhat absurd.
Seeing his son gradually fall silent, Ma Gaosheng couldn’t help but sigh.
Not to mention his son, such an arrogant young man; even he, who had always considered himself shrewd over the years, had been blinded.
Now, thinking about these had no meaning anymore.
The urgent matter was how to secure this contract for the company, that was the key.
Of course, if in the process, he could gain some interests, that would naturally be better.
In his view, after all, his son was classmates in the same class as Fan Ren and Liu Jun. In their generation, classmate relationships were very precious.
In Linhai City Area, inside an office building in the science and technology park.
Hai Niu Electric Power’s first batch of funds had already been transferred to Xinghai’s account. With money in hand, Fan Ren immediately decided to rent office space and post online recruitment for the professional personnel the company needed.
It couldn’t be that General Manager Liu Jun had to personally do front desk reception work, right.
These days, various enterprises in the wireless charging industry had been calling Fan Ren’s mobile phone through all sorts of connections.
After being annoyed by it, Fan Ren threw his mobile phone to Liu Jun.
Once busy, this guy was out early and back late, all day either negotiating matters at this enterprise or being treated to dinner and having fun.
With money in hand, everything he did seemed to have confidence.
Here, Fan Ren personally handled selecting the site for the company’s office space and recruitment matters.
Because of the company’s nature, the administrative office space was ultimately chosen in one of the floors in the science park.
Hundreds of thousands in site rent was paid without hesitation.
And he contacted a decoration company, selecting a standard decoration fee solution.
After handling all this, the online recruitment information also started getting responses.
At the early stage, since Xinghai’s operations hadn’t fully unfolded, Fan Ren didn’t plan to set up too many departments.
He just prioritized recruitment for positions in the research and development, production, and sales these three departments.
Sitting in a room temporarily cleared out, with the rumbling noise of decoration outside the door.
At this time, the job applicants who came following the address information all thought they had entered the wrong door.
If not for the four big characters “Xinghai Technology” written on A4 paper at the door, they simply couldn’t connect this place with the so-called “leading advantages in domestic and international same industry” and such from the introduction.
But even so, there were still a few scattered figures who hesitated at the door for a while and then chose to leave.
All of this, Fan Ren sitting inside the room separated only by a glass door saw in his eyes.
He was quite open-minded, with no particular thoughts.
After all, in the company’s current state, it was already good if anyone stayed.
Take it slow, not everything happens overnight, no rush.
“Hello, no need to be nervous, please introduce yourself.”
Fan Ren called a name, and in came a middle-aged man who looked somewhat restrained.
This man named Tang Lifai, the information showed he was 47 years old and had worked in production at some enterprise.
At this age being laid off, there were few choices left, and driven by life with no other options, he came here with a try-it-out mentality.
After some exchange between the two, Fan Ren told him to go back and wait for news, with a reply within a week.
Recruitment continued, one by one faces either conflicted or indifferent came in and out.
Fan Ren’s mind kept pondering the finalized candidates, while the job applicants waiting at the door gradually decreased until all were gone.
Standing up and stretching lazily, Fan Ren walked around with stops in the floor that was torn apart in disarray.
Actually, in his vision, Xinghai would definitely have its own office building in the future, so some design elements needed to be determined now.
After checking a large amount of information on technology companies, he finally decided to go with a minimalist style.
He really liked a certain person’s saying: from the masses, to the masses.
After instructing the decoration master, as Fan Ren was preparing to leave, a familiar voice stopped him.
“Fan Ren? How come you’re here?”
Fan Ren looked steadily and saw the newcomer had a fat body.
Wasn’t it Xu Min’s good best friend Liu Xinyue?
