School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Xiao Han looked at Liu Xiaolei, his face revealing a gentle smile, which also carried a hint of apology, seemingly sorry that he hadn't explained the reasons behind his actions.

Liu Xiaolei quickly calmed the shock in her heart and said awkwardly, "But I don't own any shares."

"Now you do," Xiao Han conjured up a stock transfer contract as if by magic. No one saw exactly how he did it, but somehow, the contract magically appeared in Xiao Han's hands.

Xiao Han pushed the contract in front of Liu Xiaolei, "This is one percent of Hanmen Group's shares, sign your name, and they're yours."

"I..." Liu Xiaolei was stunned, then she hurriedly said, "I haven't made any contributions to Hanmen, I... How can I justify taking shares for no reason?"

"From now on, you'll be making contributions to Hanmen Group," Xiao Han smiled, "I plan to appoint you as the Vice President of Hanmen Group."

"What?" Liu Xiaolei was astonished. To become a Vice President out of the blue... was this really okay?

"Hurry up and sign," Li Dapang laughed, "I only have a five percent share myself."

Liu Xiaolei's face turned red, at least Li Dapang had contributed to Hanmen, whereas she, an outsider, was getting one percent of the shares for nothing. With Hanmen Group's market value of six hundred million, one percent of the shares would be six million.

Liu Xiaolei signed her name with embarrassment.

Rustling sounds...

There was a round of fervent applause from the crowd.

"Xiao Lei, congratulations on becoming a shareholder of Hanmen Group," Yang Lu said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Xiaolei quickly nodded her head.

"Then... do you agree to appoint Yang Lu as the General Manager of Hanmen Group?" Xiao Han asked.

"Agreed!" Liu Xiaolei said firmly.

"Since everyone agrees, then I agree too," Liu Si said with a smile, toying with his beads, "As long as it makes me money, it doesn't matter who the General Manager is, I can't do that job anyway."

Liu Si's shares only granted him dividend rights but not the right to govern.

"Alright, Sister Yang, you've been unanimously approved," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Thank you, everyone!" Yang Lu's cheeks tinted with color. Compared to when she first met Xiao Han, the current Yang Lu had matured a lot more, becoming much more capable. Clearly, she had transformed from a greenhorn office lady into a veteran of the business world.

"Now Brother Zhao and Xiao Lei will be the company's Vice Presidents," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"What about me?" Li Dapang asked eagerly.

"You're also a Vice President," Xiao Han glanced at Li Dapang and said, "But now, we need to clarify responsibilities. Brother Zhao, you'll be in charge of the group's market operations, which is of utmost importance."

"Right!" Zhao Lizhong nodded.

In fact, Zhao Lizhong had always been in charge of Hanmen Group's market. Of course, at present, Hanmen Group's business was relatively simple; purely consisting of Hanmen Mining, which contributed over seventy percent of Hanmen Group's profits. Therefore, it was imperative for Hanmen Group to diversify quickly. Exactly in which direction to diversify would require Xiao Han's expertise, whereas Zhao Lizhong was responsible for expanding the market.

"Xiao Lei, from now on, you'll handle public relations and human resources for Hanmen Group," Xiao Han said thoughtfully, looking at Liu Xiaolei, "The group company has just been established and needs a lot of talent. Of course, we also need to navigate through many relationships. For public relations, you'll need Sister Yang to mentor you. So, Sister Yang, you'll have to work hard."

"No problem!" Yang Lu nodded, "I will guide her."

"And me? I can't just be twiddling my thumbs, can I?" Li Dapang asked in a hurry.

"You've got plenty to do," Xiao Han laughed, "The Logistics Department is yours to manage now, and logistics is the most tedious part."

"Ha ha..." Upon hearing this, Li Dapang said, "I'll get Liu Shengtao to help me then. Leaving logistics to me, indeed you made the right choice. Hey, hey... Xiao Han, you little rascal, did you plan all this from the start?"

"Do I need to say it?" Xiao Han responded with a candid smile, "We can't just muddle along aimlessly."

"Heh heh..." Liu Si stood to one side, puffing on his pipe, giggling foolishly.

"That's also true," Li Dapang nodded, "By the way, I have a suggestion."

"Go ahead!" Xiao Han nodded.

"We could set up a Hanmen Security Company," Li Dapang said eagerly, "It would give those hundred or so brothers a legitimate identity."

"Ah, that's a good idea!" Liu Si exclaimed when he heard it, "Why didn't I think of such a great plan before?"

"That's feasible," Xiao Han pondered for a moment before immediately nodding in agreement.

The idea was indeed a good one; Li Dapang's suggestion was on point. In this way, a security company would be one of Hanmen Group's subsidiaries in a jiffy. This not only provided them a sense of belonging but also institutionalized them without affecting their existence.

The first shareholders' meeting in the history of Hanmen Group went on from three o'clock until six and still hadn't wrapped up.

Debating over the corporate system, corporate culture, and many aspects of the business, they sparred without end.

Having debates was a good sign, indicating that the enterprise was democratic rather than autocratic and ruled by a dictator.

The meeting finally concluded at seven in the evening.

"It's getting late, let's go have dinner together," Liu Si suggested.

"Sure!" Li Dapang eagerly said, "I'm starving."

"Let's go together," Xiao Han nodded.

After that, the group of six headed to the nearby Hanmen Restaurant. As the six major shareholders of the Hanmen Group, it was only fitting for them to dine at their own restaurant. The Hanmen Restaurant in Linjiang City's pedestrian street is considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant.

The group of six entered, and the waiter immediately arranged the best private room for them.

A table of dishes had already been ordered, and everyone took their seats.

"I had Li Huaishan bring me a bottle of good liquor," Liu Si began. "Later on, we must celebrate properly."

"Agreed!" everyone nodded.

It wasn't long before Li Huaishan brought over a bottle of Maotai Liquor.

"Is that vintage Maotai?" Li Dapang exclaimed in surprise.

"Indeed, I've been treasuring it for ten years," Liu Si said with a smile. "I couldn't bring myself to drink it, but now with the establishment of the Hanmen Group, it's a momentous occasion, so I'm using this Maotai to celebrate."

"Director Liu, you're really too kind," Yang Lu said with a smile.

"Not at all, I'm very happy about the Hanmen Group's establishment," Liu Si laughed heartily.

"We all are," Xiao Han said.

Yang Lu smiled and then added, "Yes, we all are very happy!"

"Come on, let's toast!" Liu Si hurriedly said.

Xiao Han and Liu Si spoke fervently, discussing the future development goals of the Hanmen Group.

Each person had a cup in front of them. Liu Xiaolei sat next to Xiao Han, occasionally glancing at him.

Clearly, she felt that Xiao Han was so unfamiliar to her, so enigmatic. The Xiao Han in front of her spoke with cultured elegance, casually talking about businesses and projects worth millions, tens of millions. If she did not know that Xiao Han was the chairman of the Hanmen Group, she probably would have thought he was boasting. Indeed, who would dare believe all this was real?

The dinner was very enjoyable.

A bottle of liquor split among six people was clearly not enough to get everyone drunk, at most it just made them slightly tipsy.

After dinner, everyone returned to their respective accommodations, each busy with preparing for work the next day.

Xiao Han drove Liu Xiaolei back to the Fuxing Community.

The two were very silent in the car.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the Fuxing Community, Liu Xiaolei said, "Xiao Han, let's get off and walk a bit, shall we?"

"Okay!" Xiao Han parked the car at the entrance of the Fuxing Community, then got out and walked with Liu Xiaolei.

Opposite was Hanmen Restaurant's Store No. 1, bustling with activity, with many cars parked at the entrance. They serve regular meals during the day and also stay busy with late-night snacks. Thus, the money rolls into Hanmen Restaurant continuously.

"Xiao Han, are you still the Xiao Han I knew?" Liu Xiaolei looked at Xiao Han.

"Of course, I always have been," Xiao Han quickly nodded.

"But today, I felt you were so unfamiliar, yet so familiar," Liu Xiaolei revealed a bitter smile.

"Is it because I didn't tell you the truth?" Xiao Han asked.

"No!" Liu Xiaolei shook her head. "It's just... I feel that the Xiao Han I know has grown up, that boy who used to follow me around and would show me 'magazines' is no longer the Xiao Han I knew."

"People have to grow up," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Yes, people do have to grow up, but you've grown so much that I hardly recognize you," Liu Xiaolei said with a smile, her eyes revealing a complex expression.

Once, the naive boy had become her boss, and moreover, the Sect Leader of a group company. It was a staggering reality, one that Liu Xiaolei might struggle to come to terms with over the following days, even months.

"Xiao Lei, no matter how the world changes, no matter how life shifts, I will always be the Xiao Han you know," Xiao Han looked at Liu Xiaolei earnestly. "I won't change, and I can't change, otherwise, I wouldn't be Xiao Han."

"Yes!" Liu Xiaolei nodded. "You can't change, and you mustn't change, otherwise, where would I find the Xiao Han I knew?"

Perhaps, the establishment of the Hanmen Group helped mitigate the sorrow in Xiao Han's heart.

Over the next few days, every member of the Hanmen Group was incessantly busy.

Yang Lu was searching for a suitable office location.

After checking several places without settling on one, Yang Lu finally chose a bustling area in Linjiang City after consulting with Xiao Han multiple times. There was a Twin Towers Building. The entire thirtieth floor of the Twin Towers Building was available for lease.
