Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

Meanwhile.

With Huizi handling the paperwork, the process was incredibly efficient.

After all, Huizi was Lin Feng’s secretary.

Having Huizi personally handle his onboarding meant Lin Feng must have given the order.

Huizi handed Tian Xiaowu his employee ID badge and some basic documents.

"Congratulations, you’re officially a member of the company now!"

Huizi said with a smile.

Tian Xiaowu had assumed that Huizi would ask him a few questions about his background while she was guiding him through the paperwork.

But to his surprise, Huizi didn’t ask a single thing.

This allowed Tian Xiaowu to breathe a sigh of relief.

"President Lin’s office is right ahead. You can go straight in. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave you here."

Huizi led Tian Xiaowu to the door of Lin Feng’s office, then turned and left.

Tian Xiaowu knocked on the door.

He saw Lin Feng sitting at his desk, apparently handling some work.

The young man who had been with Lin Feng earlier was sitting at a nearby desk.

Lin Feng looked up and saw Tian Xiaowu.

"You’re here. Go ahead and sit next to Cao Ming."

"Cao Ming, fill him in on the Cyan Mountain Town land project."

Lin Feng was busy reviewing the company’s latest financial statements, so he didn’t have time to speak with the two of them in detail just yet.

Cao Ming and Tian Xiaowu introduced themselves.

They both understood that they would be colleagues on the same team for the foreseeable future.

"This is the land project we’re in charge of. Here’s the file on the Cyan Mountain Town property."

Cao Ming placed a printed file he had on hand in front of Tian Xiaowu.

Tian Xiaowu nervously opened the file.

The Cyan Mountain Town property hadn’t undergone any development yet.

So the file mostly contained basic information about the plot of land.

Tian Xiaowu finished reading it in no time.

When he was done, Cao Ming leaned in and asked, "Since we’ll be working together, what’s your area of expertise?"

There was no malice in Cao Ming’s question, only a hint of curiosity.

Without realizing it, Tian Xiaowu was already getting used to the atmosphere.

As a result, Tian Xiaowu was starting to relax. "Well, I specialize in planning and design!"

To his surprise, Cao Ming’s eyes lit up when he heard Tian Xiaowu’s answer.

Tian Xiaowu didn’t know that Cao Ming had previously looked into the work of planning and design because he’d been tasked with it for the Cyan Mountain Town project.

For Cao Ming, who had only managed to complete a portion of it,

someone who was actually skilled in planning and design seemed like a true genius.

"So that’s what you specialize in! That’s incredible!"

"Our team is in desperate need of someone like you right now!"

"No wonder President Lin sought you out. He must have recognized your talent!"

Being looked at with such admiration and praised by Cao Ming

made Tian Xiaowu a little bashful.

Just then, Lin Feng finished his work.

He stood up and walked over.

He found a seat next to Tian Xiaowu and Cao Ming and sat down. "I assume you’ve looked over the file for Cyan Mountain Town by now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two of them nod.

"Since you’ve seen it, I’d like to hold a brief meeting."

"The Cyan Mountain Town property project will be a key development focus for the company for a long time to come."

Hearing this, Tian Xiaowu froze. ’I can’t believe I’ve been assigned to such a major project team right after joining,’ he thought.

At the same time, he realized just how much faith President Lin had in him.

"Xiaowu, you should know from the file that I plan to develop this land into a tourist and commercial district."

"So, I need the two of you to submit a complete development proposal as quickly as possible."

When Lin Feng emphasized the word "complete," he shot a pointed look at Cao Ming.

Cao Ming gave a sheepish chuckle.

Now that they had a planning and design talent like Tian Xiaowu, Cao Ming no longer got a headache just thinking about the word "planning."

"This will be your only task for now, so make sure you do it well."

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Tian Xiaowu nodded vigorously.

After the brief meeting, Lin Feng sat down between the two of them and began discussing the regional planning.

But they hadn’t been discussing for long before an internal call came through.

It was the company receptionist.

"President Lin, there’s a man named Du Hai here to see you. He has one of your business cards."

The receptionist briefly explained the situation, asking for Lin Feng’s instructions.

The visitor was none other than the man with management potential whom Lin Feng had found at the entrance of Nebula Building yesterday, thanks to a prompt from the system.

...

「The previous night.」

Du Hai returned to his rented apartment.

His mind was in turmoil as he thought about his recent experiences.

He sat up in the middle of the night and started browsing the major job recruitment sites.

After looking at the typical salaries and positions available, Du Hai heaved a long sigh.

One of the reasons Du Hai had been so reluctant to leave his old company was that everything he had built there would be reset to zero upon his departure.

If he went to a new company now, he would have to start all over again.

That meant putting in even more energy just to get back to where he was.

Frustrated, Du Hai remembered the stranger at the stadium who had given him a business card.

He fished Lin Feng’s business card out of his jacket pocket.

He then went online and did a search for the company on the card.

Du Hai was stunned when he saw the scale of Lin Feng’s company.

’Was I really lucky enough to run into the owner of a multi-billion-dollar company?’

After hesitating for half an hour, Du Hai decided to go see Lin Feng the next day.

Besides, he had nothing left to lose now.

He might as well go and see if this Lin Feng was a fraud or not.

If he was, it would be no loss to him.

’But if he’s the real deal, I can’t let this opportunity slip away!’

Holding Lin Feng’s business card, Du Hai had no idea just how special it was.

Lin Feng’s business cards were made from a special card stock.

Very few people ever received one.

Those who did have one had, for the most part, received it directly from Lin Feng himself.

That was why when the receptionist saw the card,

she immediately knew that the man in front of her must have some connection to Lin Feng.

The moment Lin Feng heard the name, he knew who Du Hai was.

"Show him to a conference room. He’s here for me."

Lin Feng hung up the phone and looked up to see Cao Ming’s curious gaze.

"Do you have to step out? Should we keep discussing this?"

Lin Feng shook his head in response to Cao Ming’s question. "I have to step out for a moment. You two go ahead and discuss the regional planning aspects first."

After Lin Feng left,

Cao Ming and Tian Xiaowu began a rough discussion about the land’s planning.

Cao Ming had previously drafted a partial proposal himself.

So, during their discussion, he printed out a copy.

He showed the proposal to Tian Xiaowu. "I only managed to sketch out a small part, but what do you think?"

Although Tian Xiaowu lacked some of the theoretical knowledge, he was incredibly talented.

After looking over Cao Ming’s planning document, he spotted several issues.

After he pointed out the problems, Tian Xiaowu noticed a hint of admiration in Cao Ming’s eyes.

"Wow, nice. When I was designing this, I kept feeling like something was off."

"Now that you’ve pointed it out, it’s all clear..."

Cao Ming said to Tian Xiaowu, incredibly excited.
