Chapter 18: The Secretary Appears
The golden morning sun bathed the courtyard in a warm glow as Ye Tian stepped out of his room, still energized from the surge of ideas swirling in his mind. The Insider Market Report from the system was no less than a treasure trove—ten elite stocks, all poised to skyrocket in the coming days. But that alone wasn't enough.
He needed execution.
And he needed someone to manage it.
As he stood in the center of the courtyard, birds chirping lightly overhead, the system interface blinked open once again.
[DING! Would you like to use the Recruitment Card?]
> [YES] [NO]
"Of course," Ye Tian muttered, pressing the confirmation button.

Ye Tian's finger hovered for a second before tapping:

[Scanning for optimal candidate based on Host mindset, personality, and long-term goals…]
[Selection Complete!]

> [Qin Yuyan is now on her way to report in.]
Ye Tian's brows lifted slightly. "That's fast…"
Within ten minutes, a sleek black Audi pulled into the courtyard. The door opened, and a tall woman in a tailored gray suit stepped out. Her heels clicked smartly against the stone path as she approached, a leather-bound folder in her hands. Her long hair was tied back in a sharp ponytail, glasses perched perfectly on the bridge of her nose.
Ye Tian thought that if he had give her beauty a rating then it would be above 90 for sure.
As he was thinking that, Qin Yuyan stopped in front of him and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Ye Tian, I'm Qin Yuyan, your newly appointed secretary. I look forward to working with you."
Ye Tian nodded. "Welcome, Miss Qin. I'm counting on your expertise."
She adjusted her glasses and handed him the folder. "These are my credentials and preliminary insights on your known investments. If you'd like, I can begin structuring an action plan immediately."
After listening this he was a little shocked but then the system screen light up and told him that "only primary information about investment has been given to your secretary.
Then ,
Ye Tian smiled faintly. "Before that, I need you to arrange something more important."
"Of course."
"I want to leverage my 10% shares in Moon Hotel for a high-value loan. The current market value of the hotel is 12.8 billion yuan, so my shares are worth approximately 1.28 billion. I want to use that as collateral to gain liquidity—fast."
Qin Yuyan's eyes gleamed with recognition. "I understand. Shall I approach both commercial and private institutions to compare lending terms?"
"Yes. I want the funds in hand within the next 24 hours. Also," he added, glancing at her, "this isn't for real estate or standard business ventures."
"Understood."
"It's for the stock market," Ye Tian said calmly. "I've come into information about a series of strategic stocks that are expected to explode in the next few days. I want full control and rapid execution."
Qin Yuyan nodded without flinching. "Then I will prepare a short-term investment structure with a fast exit option. Do you wish for daily reports or hourly updates?"
"Daily is fine. But all decisions must be approved by me first. Keep it discreet."
"Of course."
As she stepped back to begin the calls and coordination, Ye Tian exhaled softly and looked toward the sky. The gears were now in motion. With the backing of the system's market insight and a top-tier secretary managing the logistics, he wasn't just participating—he was preparing to dominate.
Back inside his room, the system blinked softly.
[System Note: You have taken your first step into large-scale financial manipulation. Task chain unlocked: "Dominate the Market"]

Ye Tian's lips curved into a grin.
The game had just begun.
