Chapter 866: Tao Min Is Coming to Lin’an_2

Of course, such leisure office chairs cost quite a bit, and many businesses are reluctant to spend.

But New Era is willing to spend. Don’t underestimate these details; when they accumulate bit by bit, employees will feel the company is considerate and become more loyal.

Qin Shiqing hadn’t rested; she took a nap on the plane and didn’t feel tired now. She went to Yan Qiuwen’s office and found her awake, working on something at the computer.

She lightly knocked on the door, and Yan Qiuwen glanced over, “Shiqing, back already?”

“Yeah, just arrived in Lin’an.”

Qin Shiqing walked over, “Qiuwen, am I interrupting you?”

Yan Qiuwen stopped typing on the keyboard, “No worries, do you need something?”

“Haha, nothing much. I brought you a box of yellow osmanthus persimmon cakes, a specialty from Xijing. Give them a try.”

As she spoke, Qin Shiqing handed over a box.

She was quite popular at the company; partly due to her generous and easy-going personality, and partly because she’d always bring back souvenirs for her colleagues whenever she returned from a business trip. So everyone liked her a lot.

“Oh, thanks!”

Yan Qiuwen took the box of yellow osmanthus persimmon cakes.

These packaged foods all contain additives, which she deemed unhealthy, but it was, after all, a gesture from Qin Shiqing.

Yan Qiuwen wasn’t savvy with social niceties, but it didn’t mean she didn’t understand them.

“You go ahead and keep busy; I still have to deliver a box to Yuwei!”

Having delivered the souvenir, Qin Shiqing didn’t linger long in Yan Qiuwen’s office and quickly left.

Watching her leave, Yan Qiuwen shook her head, thinking to herself, “While you were away in Lin’an, you have no idea how many times Song Yuwei sneaked visits home, yet you’re still so good to her.”

But then again, that night Su Zelin accompanied me to the hospital, stayed until late at night, and later we went out for dinner. Does that count as sneaking visits?

When Qin Shiqing arrived at the office and handed over the yellow osmanthus persimmon cakes to Song Yuwei, the female assistant, seeing her joyful face, couldn’t help but feel guilty and ashamed.

During Qin Shiqing’s days on a business trip, Su Zelin didn’t come over daily but did visit twice.

Considering Qin Shiqing regarded her as the best friend at the company, often asking her out for meals, shopping, and movies, even closer than her college friend Yan Qiuwen, yet she was involved with her man, Song MM felt quite guilty towards Qin Shiqing.

Unfortunately, despite her guilt, Song Yuwei was not going to give up Su Zelin. He had become one of the most important men in her life, along with her father.

Feeling guilty was also Huang Panpan. The junior colleague knew Qin Shiqing was on a trip and spent two nights with Su Zelin.

Since joining the company as an intern, Qin Shiqing didn’t treat her as a rival nor give her a hard time. Instead, she took care of her, even inviting her to her place for a few meals and giving her souvenirs from trips, so she no longer harbored any animosity against Qin Shiqing.

Considering Qin Shiqing just returned from a business trip, Su Zelin didn’t work overtime that day and went home with her after work.

Not having seen her bestie in a while, Xiaoyanzi came by to grab a meal, but left shortly after dinner, needing to attend class at the evening tutoring center. Besides, a brief separation rekindling romance should not be disturbed too long.

Having washed the utensils and put them in the disinfecting cabinet, Qin Shiqing was about to shower when Su Zelin found a brand-new plush sexy pajamas set, complete with a long-eared headband and a fluffy fox tail attached at the back of the pants. This was a reward the rascal demanded.

Su Zelin had long wanted to see his girlfriend transformed into a fox spirit, but it could only be achieved via cosplay—after all, Qin Shiqing wasn’t that kind of girl in reality.

“Darling, you promised me, don’t you dare renege!”

The rascal chuckled wickedly.

“You bad guy!”

Qin Shiqing blushed and shot him a glance, but she took the pajamas and headed into the bathroom.

After New Year’s Day, the footsteps of the Spring Festival drew closer day by day.

New Era’s direct-sale stores progress in various provinces and cities were meeting expectations and even surpassing Su Zelin’s imagination in speed.

Meanwhile, news related to this year’s Spring Festival Gala gradually surfaced, as was customary; it happened every year around this time.

For instance, about who’s performing at the Gala this year, or how many times Uncle Benshan is doing a skit, including the program content and so on.

What garnered the most discussion wasn’t the performance guests or programs but rather the sponsorship from New Era and its red envelope rain.

This news wasn’t leaked by some insider media person but intentionally released by CCTV.

The two parties hadn’t signed any confidentiality agreement; warming up in advance to draw attention benefited both.

This matter caused a significant reaction among the public.

“I heard the company sponsoring this year’s Spring Festival Gala is called New Era, and they’re teaming up with CCTV to give us folks a red envelope rain. They’ll be handing out three rounds totaling 88.88 million. All you have to do is send New Year blessings to CCTV and participate in the activity. If you get picked, the smallest red envelope is 88 yuan, then there’s 168, 888, 1888, and the largest super red envelope is even 8888!”

“Wow, giving out 88.88 million in red envelopes. Even if they’re all 8888, there are ten thousand spots, and just the 88 yuan ones account for a million! This New Era must be a big enterprise, so lavishly spending money. How come I’ve never heard of it?”

“You’re really out of the loop then, don’t watch the news? I saw news about this company several times on CCTV this year. They specialize in selling computers, phones, MP3 players, cameras, and other digital electronic products!”

“Yeah, yeah, our city has just opened three new stores, one in the Central District, one in South City, and one in West City. I passed by the one in the Central District the other day, had a peek inside. It’s grand, probably close to a thousand square meters, each store surpasses several small shops put together. You can find any digital products inside, and the counters display numerous computers and phones for customer experiences—the staff aren’t impatient at all, always courteous!”
