The sound of propellers filled the air as a quad-rotor flying vehicle rapidly passed over the Academy before descending to an open field.
A gentle breeze kicked up by the rotating air currents brushed past Tilan as she looked up at the sound, spotting the figure standing on the tal frawork beneath the flying vehicle.
Dressed in a military green fashionable coat, black stockings, Black Swan velvet gloves, and silver short hair topped by a duckbill cap, she hid behind tea-colored sunglasses. Holding a small tal case by her side, Miss Grey Crow waved to Tilan from above, then leapt down gracefully onto the grass.
"Long ti no see, Dantalion, or perhaps it's more fitting to call you Hexia now," she said, walking over with her silver tal case and removing the sunglasses that covered her face to reveal a smile to the young girl.
"Just like I said the first ti we t, we will have many opportunities to work together. It's an honor for that Hexia thought of first," she said, extending her hand and shaking hands with Hexia.
As they walked side by side, Miss Grey Crow used extrely concise and efficient language to help the young girl understand her upcoming schedule and the various steps of establishing a company.
"So, you an all I need to do is sign in two days and attend the notary office in three days, and everything will be sorted?" the girl blinked in surprise, not expecting the process to be so simple.
"That's right, because I will handle most of the work for you. All you need to do is stamp and confirm."
"Saving employers as much effort as possible and creating a comfortable environnt is the responsibility of us professionals," she continued to explain her profession to Hexia.
"After graduating, I joined the colossal corporation 'Golden Spike Balance' and worked there for nearly a decade, experiencing the most demanding and professional work environnt in the Federation. Three years ago, I resigned and established my personal studio, mainly undertaking business consulting and financial review tasks."
"To try and error with low costs initially, and to repay Lady Isabella's favor, I left the Central Star Domain and ca to the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain. Hexia seldom sees at 'Dream of Glazed Glass' because I'm often traveling between different districts, coordinating and managing many affairs."
"At the peak, I was simultaneously providing consulting services for about 14 companies, solving operation issues and assisting with financing and going public."
"Later, considering the toll that high-intensity work took on , I set a standard for myself to deal with no more than 8 companies at a ti, allowing also to have ti to et friends and catch up."
"Although the number of large corporations in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain is far fewer than in the Central Star Domain, the advantage is there are very few competitors here. After all, there aren't many people like who would leave the better-paid huge corporations to start on their own in a remote Star Domain," she said with a laugh.
"But looking back now, this might have been the luckiest choice I've made in my life."
"If it were in the Central Star Domain, from the mont you, Hexia, beca famous, countless top professionals would be calling you, begging to start a company for you, to work for you, and so might even be willing to do it without a salary."
"Is it really that exaggerated? If they don't want a salary, then what are they after?"
"What they seek is no longer just a salary, Hexia," Miss Grey Crow shook her head.
"As top managers, the financial assets we handle and the business we pass through often start in the tens or hundreds of billions, and personal wealth is already enough for us to live comfortably for hundreds of years."
"However, no matter how much we help others manage, consult, and provide advice, it does not feel as fulfilling as creating our own career."
"Moreover, by leveraging the Songstress billboard, they can access the true top echelon of the entire Federation and even reach into the realm of political power. Such an experience and the expansion of perspective are great temptations that make people willingly work for you, even for free."
"Salaries are fixed, and no matter how high, they won't exceed earnings from financial operations and stock dividends. Our regular work rely makes it easier for us to understand the real situation within the industry rather than being our main source of inco."
"Once you understand an industry to the fullest, acquiring information far beyond the average person, you can easily profit from the securities and financial markets through this informational advantage."
"Alright, I will stop here, or else you might think I'm one of those won obsessed with benefits," she laughed.
"Not really, thank you Mammon for telling all this about the workplace," Hexia replied.
The two won entered the house where Hexia normally lived. The maids served them tea, and Miss Grey Crow opened her silver tal case, taking out contracts and business docunts that had been drafted and placing them on the table.
"These contracts stipulate the company's share structure and subsequent legal responsibilities among other things. Hexia can have them checked by a third party. If you find no issues, then sign them, and I will handle the rest," she explained.
"Also, regarding the recruitnt of staff for the music company, I already have several candidates in mind, and I'll send their details to you later."
"Okay."
In the ti that followed, 'Mammon' explained each clause in detail to Hexia, sharing the deeper implications and what to watch out for when signing contracts with other companies on a daily basis.
"Nowadays, the Federation's contract law is very comprehensive, and every ti a contract is signed, it needs to connect with the Central Justice AI for review. Any hidden contractual traps and unfair terms are directly pointed out by the AI."
"This saves a lot of effort and provides security for ordinary people. Since the introduction of the Justice AI, the comrcial environnt within the Federation has also improved significantly."
"Let's call it a day. I will co again tomorrow at 3:15 PM. I still have to rush to an internal eting of another company in South First District, then tonight, I've a financial ledger review prepared by a fourth company." Seeing that Hexia had a general understanding, she packed up her silver tal case, snapped it shut, and waved goodbye.
"If you have any questions, you can ssage . I won't sleep before midnight, and I will definitely reply before I go to bed."
"So, see you tomorrow, 'little Dantalion'~"
Then she left the courtyard, and the sound of propellers was heard again in the sky. The rotorcraft descended to a height of five ters, and she effortlessly jumped on, standing on the steel frawork below and then walking into the opened cabin door.
She waved once more to the girl and maids below, then the flying vehicle gradually accelerated, leaving the Academy and heading to the bustling urban area of South First District.
No wonder she was rarely seen at 'Dream of Glazed Glass'—she was such a busy person, thought the girl, shaking her head before returning inside to closely review the contracts and docunts.
