Chapter 795: Her Name Is Chen Yan
The couple who didn’t manage to give away their child left angrily.
He Xiyan didn’t bring up the adoption again after they left.
As for whether she’ll be able to become pregnant, she’ll leave this up to fate.
It was year-end and it would be Lunar New Year’s Eve in another week, so many companies were gradually closing for the festive celebrations.
The school that she had invested in had already stopped holding classes.
That afternoon, He Xiyan gave Aunty Wang a fat wad of cash in a red packet and told her to return home to make preparations for the new year with Uncle Wang.
She went with Jiahang to their tiny office that they rented. It was around 80 square meters and there were still ten employees who were working in their office.
These employees were busy attending to customers’ inquiries, handling orders, and sending out the final batch of orders before their office closed.
They quickly looked up excitedly when they saw that their bosses had arrived at the office because they were waiting for a nice bonus that they could bring home to their families for the Lunar New Year.
He Xiyan told them to put their activities on hold for the moment and she held a town hall summarizing the company’s performance for the year. The company’s revenue was more than 9 million dollars this year and after deducting costs, operating and other expenses, they had a profit of around 2 million. He Xiyan generously gave every employee a $20,000 bonus and $30,000 to the two employees who performed better than the others.
These employees weren’t expecting to receive such a generous bonus so they were thrilled. Many of them were still in high school and were only in their twenties, so they were very young. They were happy enough to have been able to find a job, so they were very content with their $6,000 to $7,000 monthly salary and such a fat bonus.
“Many thanks, Sister Chen…” the employees beamed happily after receiving their red packets. They felt an excitement that they couldn’t express in words.
He Xiyan knew that the only way to retain employees was to give them good benefits, especially since these young employees were very prone to switching jobs. However, she needed these young employees because they were healthy and motivated. She would only be able to handle the large influx of orders that came in with these young employees during the Double 11 and Double 12 sales period.
She felt old since they addressed her as Sister Chen all the time and she suddenly wondered how old she actually was.
According to her identity card, she was born in 1997, so this meant that she was 27 years old this year. However, she didn’t know how old she actually was because she didn’t have any identification papers and her current identification papers had been falsified. The village chief of Mang Village had helped with getting the Chen family from the same village to acknowledge her at their daughter, so that she could now be recognized as a person who lacked registration papers. Then, after paying some money and pulling some strings, she managed to create an identity for herself. Her identification papers stated that she was Chen Yan and at first, she said that her ‘Yan’ was a different Chinese character but this would mean that her name would be an exact copy of the Chen family’s second daughter, so they changed the character of her name.
This was a terrible and common name.
He Xiyan felt that the whole process of getting her identification papers was ridiculous and laughable.
Chen Jiahang was tidying the office. He looked like he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder and liked his area to be clean and tidy.
He would make sure that everything was lined up tidily and categorize their goods, and even when he was at home, he would immediately tidy up when he noticed that there was an area that seemed untidy. He would even fold the blankets into a nice square block after he woke up every morning.
He Xiyan tried many times but she was still unable to get it right.
