Song Luokui entered the classroom, and Xu Jiarong waved at her from across the room, "Luokui, over here."
Song Luokui walked over, and Xu Jiarong handed her the textbook and pencil case, "A boy just brought these over and asked me to give them to you."
Song Luokui took the books, "Thank you."
Two minutes later, the teacher walked into the classroom, "Good morning, students."
"Good morning, teacher."
Song Luokui opened her book and listened attentively to the lecture...After class, Song Luokui opened WeChat, and Wang Sisi had messaged her. It turned out that Chi Yu had asked Lin Cheng to have Wang Sisi bring her books down and pass them to someone to take to the classroom for her.
Song Luokui replied to Wang Sisi with "Thank you".
Chi Yu did go on a business trip, and he asked if she wanted a gift, but Song Luokui of course didn't want one.
She recently planned to visit the company, so on this afternoon when she got out of school early, she took her overall plan and project plan and headed straight to the Tianyú Company after class.
She arrived at the building with her documents, entered the elevator, and pressed the floor number, but two others soon joined her. Seeing the floor button she had pressed, they glanced at her.
Both were carrying resumes, and when they noticed she was also holding documents, they assumed they were resumes and asked, "Are you here for an interview too?"
Song Luokui finally noticed the two of them, "Are you two here for interviews?"
"Yes, we're both here for interviews. We saw Tianyú's job postings online and submitted our resumes. Are you here for that too?"
Song Luokui shook her head, "No, I'm not here for an interview. Good luck to you both."
The elevator soon reached the Tianyú Company's floor, and Song Luokui exited first, with the two women following behind her. Hearing that Song Luokui wasn't there for an interview, they breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if someone as beautiful as her was a competing candidate, the pressure would have been immense.
Song Luokui went straight to the Tianyú Company's reception desk, "Hello, I'm here to see CEO Yu Hui."
Receptionist: "Hello, do you have an appointment?"
Song Luokui: "No, but my name is Song Luokui. Just tell her that and she'll know."
The receptionist immediately stood up and bowed, "Hello Boss! CEO Yu is inside, I'll take you to her." Earlier, Manager Qin and Secretary Huang had brought back some delicious pastries and mentioned seeing the Boss, describing her as an extremely beautiful young woman. They even mentioned the Boss's name.
Everyone was quite curious about who this amazing Boss was, but they never expected the Boss would actually come by today. Oh my god!
The receptionist was inwardly excited but remained outwardly calm as she led Song Luokui to Yu Hui's office. Some people they passed looked puzzled about who the receptionist was escorting - could it be a new artist the company was preparing to sign?
Meanwhile, the two women who had come for interviews were shocked when they heard the receptionist's words. They looked at each other in disbelief as the two walked away from the reception area. Had their earlier conversation been inappropriate?
The receptionist knocked three times, and after hearing Yu Hui's voice from inside, she opened the door and said, "Manager Yu, the Boss is here."
Yu Hui looked up and immediately stood upon seeing Song Luokui, very excited, "Boss! You're here!"
Yu Hui then turned to the receptionist and said, "Bring some tea in, and buy some snacks and pastries too."
Song Luokui: "No need, I just bought afternoon tea downstairs. It'll be sent up shortly. I came today to discuss some company matters with you."
Yu Hui: "Okay, please have a seat over here... Or should I take you to your office? Your office is ready."
"Okay, let me take a look first."
"This way."
On the other side of the office, word quickly spread that the Boss had come to the company. The person the receptionist had just led in was the Boss!
"Oh my god! I just saw the Boss!"
"Where, where?"
"She's probably in Manager Yu's office now. They just came out... oh, now they're going into another office. That must be the Boss's office they prepared for her."
"Ahhhh, I had to go out for work today so I missed it! Take a picture for me, I want to see what our beautiful Boss looks like!"
"I'll try to once the Boss comes out."
"Waaah, I need to finish up quickly so I can get back and see the Boss too."
"The Boss even ordered us afternoon tea today. Haha, hurry back or you won't get any!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming, save me some!"
...
Song Luokui looked around her new office - there was a desk, a sofa for lounging, and even a table in front of the sofa with a tea set. On a cabinet, there were tea leaves and even some alcohol.
Song Luokui: "You can keep the alcohol, I can't really drink." She laughed.
"Got it, I'll have someone remove it later."
"You all can have it if you'd like."
Yu Hui: "Would you like to tour the rest of the company? I can have everyone gather so they can meet you since none of them have seen you before."
Song Luokui sat down in the Boss's chair, "Sure, you can go prepare them."
"Okay."
Outside, after hearing the news, everyone quickly tidied up their attire and stood when Song Luokui emerged. They all bowed in unison, "Hello Boss!"
Song Luokui waved at them, "Hello everyone. Please sit back down."
Yu Hui then introduced Song Luokui to some of the key managers. "This is Qin Keling, the head of the Finance Department."
"I know, she came to see me before."
Qin Keling was delighted the Boss still remembered her. Well, it had only been a few days after all.
"Over here is the Procurement Department..."
"This is the Planning Department..."
When they reached the Planning Department, Song Luokui shook hands with the department head Zhou Fang and said, "I'll need to discuss some things with Manager Yu later, so please join us as well."
"Certainly." Was it finally time? Was the Boss going to assign them tasks?
After completing the introductions and brief office tour, Song Luokui returned to the office with Yu Hui, and Zhou Fang from the Planning Department joined them as well.
Song Luokui took a seat and retrieved the overall company plan and a new project plan from her bag. "Take a look at these."
"I wrote these, and had someone revise them. Let me know if you see any issues. Feel free to ask questions."
It didn't take long before Yu Hui raised a critical point: "Our company is currently lacking artists. We've been recruiting but due to the company's history, many are reluctant to join us. We only have two artists left, but they don't have any fan base at all."
Song Luokui: "That's not a problem. Since we don't have any artists, we can recruit from art schools, film schools, and so on. We don't necessarily need to sign them. For example, if we need to film a short drama as one of our projects, we'll obviously need to find good-looking, handsome people with decent acting skills. Their fan base isn't important - we can promote them with money when the time comes."
Planning Department: "But the budget for that..."
Song Luokui: "Don't worry about the budget, a few hundred thousand is still a small amount we can work with."
The Planning Department member gulped: A few hundred thousand... a small amount? Okay then.
Yu Hui: "After this, I'll hold a meeting with everyone to nail down the project details."
"Yes. For our first project, don't rush it. Slow and steady to ensure quality. After all, you ladies should understand women's preferences the best."
"I won't be coming to the office often. Just call me if anything comes up and I'll drop by when I'm free."
"Understood."
