Li Yan hugged her, sighed softly, and thought of his own parents. Come to think of it... he has been avoiding his parents and his hometown!

Even when he married Yurong and met his parents once, afterward he still avoided them. Besides his parents, his memories of his hometown were vague. It was only recently when Qiao Huanxuan stirred up some memories from over a decade ago.

He quickly pulled himself out of his thoughts, not dwelling on them. Instead, he comforted Li Jie, "Actually, your father really cares about you. Maybe because you haven't had time for dating, he might feel responsible for having raised you too seriously. So that day when he followed us, he was happy in his heart, even though I mistakenly hit him, he was still very kind to me..."

Li Yan recounted to Li Jie what he and her father discussed while smoking outside the cinema. Li Jie felt a bit embarrassed and awkward. Her dad was really something—considering a cigarette as a betrothal gift, truly worried she wouldn't get married! Yet, she also deeply felt the love her father had for her.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. Take on less work in the future, let him also have less work, and spend more time with him."

"Hmm..."

"Actually, your father's mindset should also change a bit. His principles ensure that the security and bodyguards at Jie Rui have a relatively good life, but conversely? This belief has also prevented Jie Rui from benefiting more security personnel!"

"Why do you say that?" Li Jie was a bit surprised.

Li Yan said seriously, "You just think that anyway, everyone needs to work, if you work a little harder, you can sustain the company, maintain its operation. But Jie Rui? It could have expanded, but because of this mindset, it can only maintain operation. How many people now? 50 people? 100 people? 200 people? It's hard to expand further, right? If you expand, you and your father would have to work even harder.

But if you treat it as a business operation, only by earning money and earning more money, can you continue to invest and expand, strengthen your capabilities! And only when the scale is larger and the strength is greater, can you demand better benefits for your employees from the properties and corporate employers you serve, then you qualify to connect with more and better employers. Simply put, it's through another way, you grow first, then help them achieve similar better benefits, and doing so, you can help more security personnel."

Listening to Li Yan's words, Li Jie seemed thoughtful. "You mean we first exploit them, then reward them once we make money?"

Li Yan was a bit embarrassed, "Alright, actually, you can simply follow industry standards, that way, you have cash flow, you don't need to take on assignments, you can focus more on management. You can recruit more people, offer better training, then provide superior services, thus expanding and enhancing the company's strength. With improved capabilities, you can access higher-caliber clients. If you grow further, you can segment customer groups, providing different levels of service to different clients with different personnel.

I have a lawyer friend who operates this way. For himself, he lives comfortably, earns a lot without being too busy or overworked. Getting him personally involved is a mark of status, he doesn't need to advertise, clients naturally hold him in higher esteem. For society, it's not just him making money, but also lifting a group of high-quality lawyers to earn. It solves employment issues for many in the legal profession and provides the same professional services to companies that can't afford full-time lawyers."

Li Jie continued to digest his words, after a while, understanding a bit more.

"I get it now, just like we're providing services to your Paradise Group. This group of security personnel is quite fortunate. Some aren't as lucky; for a living, they also have to serve properties or companies with lower benefits regardless of conditions. In this case, even if we give most of the revenue to them, everyone is only relatively better off, and the disparities are evident.

If the company grows to a certain scale, with strong capability and reputation, it's no longer about luck, but about choosing to serve large clients like Paradise Group who are superior in all aspects. We can also have more people, if S City is saturated, we can provide services in G City, even in Yundu, or Tandu, or where we currently are! Once further expanded, we can have outstanding employees serve the best big clients, while clients with ordinary benefits can still be handled by average-level staff."

Li Yan gave a thumbs up and then smiled, "You never aimed to grow big or strong before, relying on prestige and network to sustain. For development, it's best to hire professional managers, salespeople, finance, legal personnel, and so on. Even if small, every department should be complete, so when you grow, you won't suffer hidden losses. You can serve as a consultant, providing professional advice and suggestions for the company team."

Li Jie looked at him in surprise, "Haha, no wonder your boss let you take up some managerial role, you do have a business mind."

"Of course! Hehe, after all, I'm an elite in a large enterprise like Paradise Group!" Li Yan boasted unashamedly. Truth be told, he was all talk and no action; when it came to expressing opinions, he could analyze things clearly, but if asked to implement them, he would get overwhelmed and find it troublesome.
