Here, the stairs connect to a reception area featuring two sets of double doors, the secretary's desk, a coat rack, and a couch for waiting clients.

Here, the stairs connect to a reception area featuring two sets of double doors, the secretary's desk, a coat rack, and a couch for waiting clients. A separate table features two fax machines and an extra telephone. Due to the lack of wall separating the foyer from the stairwell, the room remains spacious. |
The front door of the business is usually locked. Due to the trading hours of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the office maintains nocturnal opening hours. During these hours the secretary, [[Lau Mei-yin|Michelle Lau]], will greet clients with an appointment, answer calls and handle paperwork and message taking. | The front door of the business is usually locked.

The second set of double doors from the reception leads to the antechamber as well. The antechamber is set up as part waiting area, part library. The room features several pieces of oriental antiques, mostly themed around early Chinese, or Hong Kong related imagery. Two bookcases feature a collection of books in German, English and Cantonese; mostly on the topic of ancient China, but several books relate to the financial markets, and the history of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. A distinct surprise is waiting for those truly digging into the books, as several volumes seem to be out of theme and feature early Chinese philosophy, and a few volumes are in latin. A few display cases contain fragments of scrolls with Chinese characters on them, they seem to have little special features beside appearing to be very old. Next to the double doors from the reception, the antechamber features a door leading directly to the office. | The second set of double doors from the reception leads to the antechamber as well.
