Chapter 560 Discussing the Opening of the Branch Company

"Are you really moving in so soon?" An Songyu looked around the brand-new office and asked again to confirm.

Zhou Peng nodded without hesitation: "Everyone feels more at ease working in their own company."

“But the dormitory hasn’t been renovated yet. If you move here now, it won’t be as convenient for commuting to and from get off work!” An Songyu explained the situation truthfully.

“This isn’t a big problem!” Zhou Peng had clearly made arrangements beforehand.

He earnestly explained to An Songyu, "If it's just for office work, we designers aren't that picky about the environment."

"Not to mention the temporary office over there, the dormitory space is more than enough for us."

"But we're in a hurry to move to the new office here, while the others are getting restless."

“I know we haven’t stopped since we got here.”

"But boss, we signed different contracts."

"The commission we receive for the work assigned by the company is no different from that of other designers in the company."

"Of course, we're not complaining!"

“We already knew about this when we joined the company.”

"And everyone had a lot of fun doing it."

"However, my team members were determined to leave their original companies with me, although there were many reasons."

"But one point cannot be denied."

"They must believe that they can make more money by coming out with me."

"Nowadays, thanks to the new business provided by the company, they don't have to worry about work and life for the time being."

"This is not suitable for long-term use."

“Those of us in this line of work can’t just disappear from the industry forever; we have to go out and show our faces to drum up business.”

"So the new company... is more suitable for discussing business?" An Songyu chuckled.

Zhou Peng raised an eyebrow slightly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

That's true. Why not use a beautifully decorated and impressive new company office instead of renting someone else's old office?

It doesn't seem suitable at all.

Moreover, many business deals cannot be finalized in one go.

Putting aside the first impression, it's not suitable even if we change locations later.

"The only pity is that the renovation of the first floor will take quite a while, otherwise it would be more suitable for entertaining clients!" Zhou Peng said with some regret.

An Songyu was speechless: "If you weren't in such a hurry, you could have renovated the whole building, let alone the first floor."

"Haha, that's true!" Zhou Peng's slight regret vanished instantly.

Then, he remembered something else: "I heard from Uncle Jianmin that you really agreed to build a rooftop garden?"

"Has it not been determined that it is indeed feasible?" An Songyu thought that Zhou Peng asked this question because he was considering whether the rooftop was suitable for a rooftop garden, so she answered very seriously.

Zhou Peng couldn't help but shake his head: "Boss An, if you keep spoiling these people, I, the branch manager, will soon be abandoned!"

"How could that be?" An Songyu didn't believe it!

Putting everything else aside, who would be willing to part with this new branch office that they personally oversaw the renovation of?

Every time An Songyu came, she could see how much the designers liked the branch office.

This is even more caring than she is, the homeowner and one of the company owners!

"Why not? The rooftop garden isn't going to be open to the public."

“It’s just for our own people to use when they’re resting. You not only have to accept all their designs, but you also have to arrange for someone to manage it.”

"They think they can just do something that costs money and yields no return?" Zhou Peng didn't believe it at all.

He understands now.

Why wasn't the company worried at all? He brought a group of his own people to open a branch in Nanshi.

This shows that the company has enough confidence to make its employees more loyal to the company than to him personally!

However, Zhou Peng was only slightly unaccustomed to it at first.

But seeing that An Songyu also carefully considered his ideas and would not refuse anything that could be done, he felt relieved.

If given the choice, who wouldn't want to work for a company like this?

An Songyu chuckled slightly. She looked at Zhou Peng seriously and said, "Designer Zhou, why do you think that a rooftop garden is a place where money won't be spent?"

"But didn't I hear that you... weren't planning to open it to the public?" Zhou Peng asked with some suspicion.

Is this merely a way to appease his team members?

An Songyu shook her head slightly: "Of course I have no intention of opening it to the public."

"But providing a good environment for employees not only helps their physical and mental health, but also allows them to be more dedicated to their work!"

"As you, Designer Zhou, probably know, constant pressure doesn't help your designs at all."

"But proper relaxation of mind and body can make your design process smoother and more engaging!"

"Right?"

Zhou Peng stared blankly at An Songyu, a rare sight for him.

He even looked at An Songyu very carefully, as if he were getting to know her all over again.

We still don't know if An Songyu really thinks that way.

Or is it just an excuse?

If that's really the case, Zhou Peng can only say that An Songyu's idea is too naive.

But if it's just an excuse...

But for some reason, no matter how rationally Zhou Peng analyzed it,

He couldn't stop smiling.

An Songyu didn't think there was anything more to discuss about this matter.

After all, the idea for this design has only just been proposed.

It's unclear how long it will take to complete.

This is a rooftop garden that An Songyu has never done before.

However, she remembered that this was later a very popular project.

Trying it out in your own office building first is a pretty good thing.

The two then seriously discussed their plans for opening the branch office.

Of course, the dragon and lion dances, a specialty of Shuncheng, are indispensable among these performances.

This is almost an essential activity for people in Shuncheng to start a business.

Zhou Peng had also had the opportunity to meet her, and upon hearing An Songyu's suggestion, he immediately agreed: "Perfect, the area in front of our company is spacious enough!"

As for other activities, An Songyu did not participate much.

Anyway, the employees at the branch office have been eagerly anticipating it.

They've discussed it openly and secretly countless times.

Well... she doesn't participate in making suggestions, but she still has a lot on her plate.

"To be honest, I'm not the only boss in our company!" Of course, she spends a lot of money.

"Moreover, the company's general manager is Wang Henian. You can see that his name is printed on the business cards in the company."

"He has to be the one to give the opening remarks!"

Zhou Peng looked at An Songyu with a helpless expression: "Then why don't you bring the other two bosses over for a visit?"

An Songyu helplessly shrugged, "You know, Boss Qiao would love to lock the two of them up to draw up design plans!"

“That makes sense!” Zhou Peng nodded in understanding, but he was more puzzled: “Will they be able to come out when they open for business?”
