Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1525 - 733

The sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze was gentle.

The bustle of the morning market at Jinshui Fish Market had already passed.

Most vendors were taking their midday breaks, with only a few trucks occasionally driving by, blaring their horns.

The six-story grayish-white building situated at New Port Alley No. 8 stood out as particularly clean and tall against the backdrop of the surrounding old brick houses.

In front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling glass entrance, there were still some colorful confetti and dried petals left from the previous day’s opening ceremony.

The copper plaque with "Morning Star Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd." written on it gleamed brightly in the sunlight’s reflection.

Fang Cheng and Lin Chuqiao walked side by side towards the entrance.

"Brother Cheng, how was the taste of that seafood restaurant we just visited?"

Lin Chuqiao, carrying a delicate briefcase, turned to look at Fang Cheng, speaking in a relaxed and carefree tone.

"The ingredients were very fresh."

Fang Cheng savored for a moment and said:

"Especially the steamed east star grouper, the cooking was perfectly timed, the meat was tender, and the sauce was skillfully prepared — worth learning."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuqiao’s lips curled into a bright smile:

"I’m glad you liked it. I paid special attention to their kitchen just now, and I have a rough idea. Once things calm down, I’ll learn to cook it for you at home."

"Great, then I’ll be waiting for Chef Lin’s culinary skills."

Fang Cheng smiled and nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, they had already stepped into the spacious lobby on the first floor of the company.

The central air conditioning blew a gentle cool breeze, instantly dispelling the outdoor heat.

The lobby was paved with shiny marble tiles, with a guest sofa and coffee table on the left and a standard circular reception desk on the right.

A few young employees in uniform professional suits were busy sorting files with their heads down, and upon hearing footsteps, they all looked up.

"Hello, President Lin."

"Hello, Consultant."

The receptionists immediately stood straight and greeted respectfully.

Upon entering through the door, Lin Chuqiao’s radiant smile had already faded.

She nodded slightly, adjusted her gold-framed glasses, and her expression promptly returned to a dignified and solemn demeanor, exuding a formidable presence of a strongwoman:

"Hmm, sort out all the registration forms left from yesterday’s opening ceremony and submit them to the HR department in the afternoon."

"Understood, President Lin."

The employees quickly replied.

Fang Cheng, on the other hand, maintained a composed demeanor, slightly nodding towards them before proceeding with Lin Chuqiao towards the elevator in the depths of the lobby.

Watching the two leave side by side, the young receptionists behind the desk subtly breathed a sigh of relief once the elevator doors closed and began whispering among themselves.

"Hey, what do you think is the background of this Consultant Fang?"

The round-faced female employee lowered her voice, her eyes full of curiosity:

"Our company just started, I haven’t seen him handle specific business, nor is he the chairman, why is President Lin so courteous to him? He personally cut the ribbon at yesterday’s opening ceremony."

"Isn’t it obvious?"

A slightly older male employee next to her pursed his lips:

"These days, for someone at President Lin’s level — a beautiful and strong woman — to be so obedient, what else but a boyfriend could he be? He’s probably just a titular consultant, actually inspecting his own property."

"You mean... he’s living off a woman?"

The round-faced girl widened her eyes, asking in a daze.

"Nonsense, stop talking nonsense!"

Another tall female employee instantly refuted, clasping her hands together with starry eyes:

"Have you ever seen a man living off a woman look this stylish? Look at Consultant Fang, his appearance, his figure, and his calm demeanor walking over just now — he’s more appealing than TV celebrities, definitely some tycoon’s son."

"This company is actually his investment, he just delegates the management to Manager Lin."

The two young women who were still observing nodded in agreement upon hearing this:

"Yeah, exactly! When they walk together, they’re like a perfect golden couple, a match made in heaven!"

The employees were gossiping at the back, speculating about Consultant Fang’s identity.

With Fang Cheng’s now far superior hearing, he naturally heard these discussions clearly, but he just smiled faintly, not bothered by it.

The elevator stopped on the second floor, and the two stepped out.

The second floor was the regular employees’ office area, with an overall layout inspired by the standard office buildings in the city center.

Neat workstations, glass partitioned small meeting rooms, corner printers and plants were all available.

But because the company had just been established, only a few dozen regular employees had been recruited so far, leaving many workstations empty and giving it a somewhat deserted feel.

As Fang Cheng walked, he observed the surroundings while casually chatting with Lin Chuqiao by his side.

After the lively opening ceremony yesterday morning, they celebrated with a luncheon at a nearby restaurant.

By evening, he drove straight back to Wanghu Town, not staying at the headquarters for a thorough inspection.

This morning, he had first gone to the sanatorium, dealt with his primary duties there, changed his clothes, and drove to Lingang District.

Arriving just at lunchtime, he first had a meal with Lin Chuqiao nearby.

Only now did he officially begin his inspection of the headquarters building belonging to the Illuminati.

After looking around the layout of the second floor, Fang Cheng and Lin Chuqiao continued upstairs via the staircase, reaching the third floor.

Starting from this floor, it belonged to the company’s management office area.

Fang Cheng pushed open the first door on the left side of the corridor, which was the Human Resources Department.
