Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 687 Membership Application

"That's great! Mr. He, why don't you come with me to our company downstairs to complete the registration procedures? It'll be much more convenient there. Our company has been deeply involved in this field for a long time and has accumulated extensive experience in trademark registration. The process is standardized. From submission of documents to review and approval, every link is seamless and the procedures are extremely efficient, saving you a lot of time and energy. You don't have to worry about the tedious process; just wait and you will soon have your own trademark and start a new chapter in your career."

As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, her eyes full of anticipation, as if she had already painted a beautiful picture for He Yuzhu of convenient registration and easy start of a new business journey.

When He Yuzhu heard this, he agreed without thinking.

He thought to himself that Li Yunzhen's family had been in this business for many years and must have accumulated a lot of connections and ways. Since they had such unique resources, registering with them would be a hundred benefits with no harm.

Perhaps, through this connection, he could eventually enjoy special services unattainable by others, such as priority access to high-quality missions and more detailed target intelligence. Why not take advantage of such a guaranteed win? He immediately agreed.

So, He Yuzhu put on a perfect smile and followed Li Yunzhen into the elevator with light steps.

Inside the cabin, soft light poured down, illuminating the two figures. He Yuzhu spoke first, bringing up a lighthearted and humorous topic. Li Yunzhen's eyes smiled, and she responded with witty remarks. As they exchanged words, laughter echoed in the small space, and the atmosphere was as relaxed and joyful as a picnic under the warm spring sun.

The elevator car seemed to be held steadily by an invisible hand as it slowly descended. A slight feeling of weightlessness passed by, and soon it arrived steadily at the destination floor.

Victoria Brokerage Company is located on the lower floor of the Securities Exchange. This floor is like a gathering place for brokerage companies, with more than a dozen such companies densely distributed.

Each company has gone to great lengths to hang eye-catching signs at the door in an attempt to stand out from the crowd of competitors.

Some companies use bright and colorful colors, such as warm red and bright yellow, to weave a vibrant visual picture, as if declaring their passion and drive for the market; others prefer simple and neat fonts with strong and powerful strokes, accurately conveying the concept of professionalism first.

The entire floor is like a high-speed business machine, filled with a tense and busy atmosphere.

The pedestrians looked hurried and walked quickly, holding all kinds of documents tightly in their hands. The papers rubbed against each other in their haste, making a rustling sound.

They were muttering to themselves, talking about the rise and fall of stock prices and the current market conditions. Every word was related to money, making it seem as if fine gold powder was suspended in the air, filled with the unique smell of money.

Li Yunzhen skillfully led He Yuzhu into a company.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, seven or eight employees stood up in unison as if they had heard a unified command.

Their faces were full of smiles, which were like flowers blooming in spring, warm and sincere, and they greeted Li Yunzhen in unison.

The greeting was spoken with ups and downs in tone and full of enthusiasm, as if the person standing in front of him was the big boss who controlled the fate of the company.

Respect was evident in their tone, and every word seemed carefully crafted; there was a subtle awe in their eyes, as they looked up at Li Yunzhen as if they were looking up at a mountain.

Li Yunzhen had an elegant posture and nodded slightly in response to everyone's greetings. Her movements were simple but polite, showing her elegance and propriety.

Then, she walked lightly towards the office with He Yuzhu.

As soon as she entered the office, she naturally sat down in the main seat, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

Her every move revealed her competence and confidence, and her aura was so strong that it seemed as if this was the kingdom she had created, and everything was under her control.

He Yuzhu stood aside somewhat stiffly, his hands unconsciously clasping and unclenching in front of him, an uneasy look flashing across his face.

He didn't know what to do and could only look around the office aimlessly.

What catches the eye are the densely packed financial charts on the wall. The crisscrossing lines are like an invisible net, and the dense data in between are like a mysterious code recording the changing market conditions, telling every rise and fall in prices and every flow of funds.

On the desk, the documents are arranged very neatly, and the importance of each document is prominently marked in the upper right corner, from "Level A" to "Level D", arranged in order, demonstrating the rigor and organization of the work behind it.

Next to it, several blackboards display the stock market quotes in real time. The numbers flashing on the blackboards are like the beating pulse of capital. Every flash may mean an instant transfer of wealth, making the whole office filled with a tense and opportunity-filled atmosphere.

Li Yunzhen seemed to be keenly aware of his awkwardness and discomfort. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a perfectly appropriate smile. She asked softly, "Mr. He, you've been traveling for a long time. What would you like to drink? We have the best tea here. The tea leaves are picked around the Qingming Festival, and they are fresh and tender. When brewed with mountain spring water, the tea soup is clear and bright. The rising hot steam is wrapped in a rich and refreshing fragrance that penetrates your heart. The coffee is also excellent. It is all freshly ground. The coffee beans are carefully selected from high-quality producing areas in South America and are properly roasted. You can smell the rich and mellow aroma when you grind it. The taste is rich and layered, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth. Both have their own merits. You may wish to try them."

Her tone was soothing and gentle, as if carrying an invisible magic, trying to dispel the tension that lingered around He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu's expression relaxed, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he quickly responded, "Tea is good, thank you so much. I love the fragrance of tea. One sip makes me feel relaxed all over, which is better than anything else."

Li Yunzhen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a perfect smile. She gracefully extended her right hand to the secretary, gently tapped her index finger twice, making a simple and meaningful gesture, indicating that she should serve two cups of hot tea to the guests.

After a moment, the office door opened slowly and silently, and a female secretary in a neat professional suit walked in.

She has a graceful figure, a pretty face, and her eyes reveal gentleness and competence.

She was holding an exquisite tray steadily in her hands, on which were placed two cups of steaming tea. The clear tea soup swayed gently in the translucent cups, and the rich tea fragrance spread out in an instant, filling every corner of the office in an instant.

The female secretary placed the teacup gently on the coffee table with gentle and graceful movements, then bowed slightly, politely gestured to everyone, and then quietly retreated, still making no sound when she closed the door.

After the female secretary left the room with light steps, the door was gently closed behind her, making an almost inaudible muffled sound.

He Yuzhu finally withdrew his gaze from the direction the female secretary had left. He tilted his head slightly, looked at Li Yunzhen, and asked, "Is this your office?"

Li Yunzhen raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, but her eyes seemed to hide a bit of complexity. She nodded slightly and replied softly: "Yes!"

This simple word, spoken from her mouth, seemed to carry a trace of helplessness, like an undercurrent surging beneath the calm surface of a lake, as if hinting at a story that had been buried by the years and was unknown to the world.

Li Yunzhen then frowned slightly, a hint of distress in her eyes, and slowly explained, "Our family business is deeply intertwined, with traditional industries as numerous as the stars in the sky. However, in my opinion, most of these businesses are stagnant and lack innovation. The day-to-day operations really don't inspire me to fight. In comparison, this agency is small in scale, with a light structure, and more flexible in business operations, so my family handed it over to me. Although the daily tasks I have to deal with are overwhelming, from artist planning to project promotion, I have to do everything myself, but the good thing is that I can break free from the constraints of tradition and shape its future according to my own ideas."

After she finished speaking, she sighed softly, and that sigh was mixed with the fatigue of being busy, but when she raised her eyes, there was an unshakable determination in them, as if she was declaring to the world that even if the road ahead was full of thorns, she would carve out a world of her own.

The two of them sat comfortably on the comfortable sofa. A set of exquisite tea sets was placed on the coffee table in front of them. The rising hot steam, carrying the fragrance of tea, filled the entire space.

They sipped the rich and fragrant tea while chatting aimlessly.

The topic ranged from the recent roller coaster ride of the stock market to the hilarious anecdotes in the industry, and then to each person's unique insights into future economic trends.

In the conversation between us, sparks of thought collide violently, and time passes quietly without us noticing.

After a while, Li Yunzhen inadvertently glanced at the wall clock, then raised her hand to call the staff waiting on the side, and softly instructed them to handle the relevant matters of registering He Yuzhu as an exchange member. Every instruction was clear and organized.

He Yuzhu looked calm and took out the checkbook from his pocket without any hurry.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes focused, the pen in his hand danced quickly on the check, and he wrote the amount of "50" without hesitation.

The handwriting was strong and powerful, as if declaring his full confidence in the investment.

After writing, he gently tore off the check with grace and decisiveness and handed it to the waiting staff.

Li Yunzhen stood aside, her originally calm face suddenly rippled. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, eyes full of surprise and confusion, and blurted out: "Mr. He, you actually have to invest so much money to buy stocks? This is not a small amount!"

You have to remember that this was Hong Kong in the 1960s, when the real estate market was just starting out and housing prices were at a relatively low level.

At that time, the price of a thousand-square-foot luxury house was only 50,000 to 60,000 Hong Kong dollars. Nowadays, this amount of money may only be enough to pay the down payment for an ordinary apartment.

An industrial building, as an important asset for business operations, was sold for just over one million Hong Kong dollars, which is a world of difference compared to the commercial real estate prices of hundreds of millions or even billions in the future.

Even when Ho Yu-chu purchased the nine-story commercial building of Pedder Building, a prime property located in the core area of ​​Hong Kong, he only spent five million Hong Kong dollars.

Now, He Yuzhu took out 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy stocks without hesitation. This generous move really shocked Li Yunzhen.

In her opinion, this is by no means a small amount of money, enough to buy multiple properties in Hong Kong or to set up a large-scale factory.

Most investors, faced with such a huge investment, would often hesitate and look back, but He Yuzhu showed extraordinary courage, which was truly impressive.

Facing Li Yunzhen's surprise, He Yuzhu remained composed, his lips curled up slightly in a relaxed smile. He replied in a soothing and confident tone, "It's no big deal. I've recently spotted a few investment opportunities and have some spare cash, so I thought I'd try my luck. I'm also planning to invest in a company with great potential. It has a novel business model and broad market prospects. I've always had complete confidence in my judgment and firmly believe that this investment will yield a good return."

He Yuzhu's eyes were deep, and he was not in a hurry to reveal the reason.

He knew clearly in his mind that all future stock transactions would be handled through Li Yunzhen's company, and she would find out about this sooner or later.

After a moment's silence, he said slowly, his expression serious and his tone earnest, "Ms. Li, I'll be relying on your company for many matters in the future. I hope you can help me keep this secret. Investment decisions are like sailing on a turbulent sea. The slightest mistake can stir up a storm. Greater confidentiality will help us avoid unnecessary fluctuations and sail smoothly towards the desired destination."

A hint of understanding flashed in Li Yunzhen's eyes, and she obviously understood the deep meaning of He Yuzhu's words.

Her expression straightened, she nodded solemnly, and responded earnestly, "Mr. He, please rest assured. Our company has always considered client privacy a top priority, and the relevant confidentiality mechanisms are extremely comprehensive. Numerous past cooperation cases have proven that we have never made any mistakes in information confidentiality, and this time we will be absolutely sure to ensure that this information will not be leaked. You can rest assured."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and called the secretary who had just brought in the tea and was waiting not far away.

"Mr. He, this is my secretary, Chen Jiapei." Li Yunzhen stepped aside and gracefully raised her hand to gesture to the young woman beside her, a perfectly professional smile on her face. "Secretary Chen has been deeply involved in the financial field for many years and has handled numerous complex stock trading projects. She is very experienced. Whether it's real-time analysis of the stock market or handling various transaction procedures, she can handle it with ease. If you encounter any stock trading issues in the future, whether it's a small trial or a large-scale investment, just give her a call. Secretary Chen will use her familiarity with the stock business to provide you with comprehensive, meticulous and thoughtful service, so that every transaction of yours goes smoothly."
