All of this was happening right in front of Huo Corporation.
It was already eight in the morning, and the employees who worked there were steadily arriving one after another.
At the same time, Liang Zhen had already informed Han Rui of their arrival.
As more and more employees walked toward the company entrance, they all saw the unusual scene in front of them and could not help staring in shock.
"What the hell is happening in front of the company?"
That thought rose in many people's minds at once.
Some of them quickly noticed that the men gathered there looked very similar to the tattooed men from yesterday.
The moment that thought appeared, the employees immediately thought of the incident from the day before.
Their expressions changed slightly.
But no one dared to step too close. They could only watch from where they stood, secretly exchanging glances and whispers.
Liang Zhen ignored all of it.
He did not waste any more time.
After the car stopped, he stepped out at once and walked to the back door before opening it respectfully.
However, even after the door opened, no one came out.
Liang Zhen lowered his head slightly and looked inside.
There, inside the car, was Shen Yueran.
She was still asleep in her seat.
Liang Zhen was silent for a moment.
He had already woken her up five minutes before they arrived at the location.
Yet now she had somehow fallen asleep again.
He could only call out once more.
"Miss."
There was no response.
Liang Zhen called again, his tone steady as always.
"Miss. We've arrived at the location. Everyone is waiting outside for you."
Only then did the figure inside the car move slightly.
A moment later, Shen Yueran slowly opened her eyes.
There was a trace of irritation on her face.
"Tch…"
Her brows furrowed faintly as she looked at Liang Zhen.
"Why are you driving so fast today?" she said unhappily. "We already arrived this fast?"
Liang Zhen looked at her and answered honestly, "Miss, we barely reached here in time."
Shen Yueran paused for a second.
Then she simply responded, "Oh… okay then."
After saying that, she finally moved and stepped out of the car.
The moment her feet touched the ground, she casually lifted her eyes and looked around.
In an instant, the hundred men standing there all shouted in unison and saluted her.
"Young Leader!"
The scene was loud and orderly, carrying a strong sense of pressure that immediately drew even more attention from the surrounding employees.
Not far away, Han Rui and Xu Chen were already standing there, waiting silently after receiving the news of her arrival.
They had come down earlier and had seen everything from the beginning.
This was also because Huo Chengye had personally instructed them beforehand.
It was Shen Yueran's first day of work there.
There must be no trouble on her first day.
So both Xu Chen and Han Rui had come out personally to make sure everything went smoothly.
Now, as they watched the spectacle in front of them, even they fell silent. This scene alone was enough to show just how powerful Mingxiao Hall had once been.
Even though Mingxiao had already become legalized on the surface, some things clearly had never changed.
This kind of tradition had remained exactly the same.
Shen Yueran simply looked ahead and began walking forward.
The hundred men had already split into two neat rows.
Shen Yueran walked through the gap between them with slow, steady steps, heading directly toward Xu Chen and Han Rui.
Soon, she stopped in front of the two men.
Then she spoke,
"Hundred men, just as we said in the deal."
Her eyes swept over the area briefly before returning to them.
"How to assign them, you can decide first and discuss it with me later."
Before Han Rui could respond, Xu Chen spoke first.
"Miss Shen," he said politely, "our boss asked you to come upstairs. Your duty will be assigned there."
After speaking, he looked at her and quietly waited for her response.
Shen Yueran looked at Xu Chen for a moment.
Then she gave a small nod.
She did not say anything unnecessary and simply followed him.
Seeing this, Liang Zhen immediately moved as well and followed behind her without hesitation.
But before he could go any farther, Xu Chen stopped him.
He turned slightly and said, "Only Miss Shen is assigned for duty there."
Liang Zhen halted at once.
He looked at Shen Yueran instinctively.
Shen Yueran turned her head and looked at him.
A smirk slowly appeared on her lips.
"You stay here and manage our people instead of me," she said.
Then, she added, "Just keep twenty people in reserve for me at all times. There will be need for them anytime."
After that, she waved her hand carelessly.
"If you need my help in anything, don't come to me. Solve it for yourself."
With those words, she turned away and continued walking with Xu Chen.
Liang Zhen stood where he was, expressionless as always, watching her leave.
Nearby, Xu Chen and Han Rui had clearly heard every word. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
They could not help feeling a little sorry for Liang Zhen.
Especially Xu Chen.
After all, he had already personally experienced what kind of person Shen Yueran was.
So now, when he looked at Liang Zhen, there was even more pity in his eyes.This person really was not having an easy time.
As for Liang Zhen, his mind quickly flashed to Shen Mingshan's orders.
The old master had repeatedly instructed him to stay near Shen Yueran and keep an eye on her.
That had always been the arrangement.
Yet now, everything happening here was the complete opposite. Instead of staying close to her, he was being left behind by her.
Naturally, Liang Zhen still wanted to follow.
He took a step, clearly intending to go after her. But Han Rui stepped forward and intercepted him.
Without giving him the chance to continue, Han Rui directly began discussing the matter of personnel allocation with him.
Since Shen Yueran had already handed over the matter of the hundred men, someone had to settle it immediately.
Liang Zhen looked in the direction Shen Yueran had left.
But in the end, he could only stop.
Meanwhile, Shen Yueran had already walked farther away with Xu Chen. She did not even look back once.
Xu Chen silently walked in front and led the way. For some reason, the more he thought about Liang Zhen being left there, the stranger his expression became.
Still, he did not dare say anything.
One had to admit that Shen Yueran truly had her own style in doing things.
On the other side, Han Rui had already started discussing the assignment of the hundred men with Liang Zhen.
Everything began moving forward quickly.
In front of Huo Corporation, the spectacle that had shocked the employees moments earlier was now gradually settling into order.
Yet the impact it had created in everyone's hearts had clearly not disappeared.
Many employees were still secretly looking over from a distance.
