The day passed very quickly, and soon it was time to leave work. Xu Xinchen stood up, stretched, and held her unfinished design draft in her hand.

With a faint smile in his eyes, Chen Ningsheng put his things away, then walked over to Xu Xinchen and put his arm around her waist: "Baby, it's getting late, let's hurry over there and take a look."

Xu Xinchen nodded vigorously, rolled up her design paper, put it into her bag, and then nodded obediently: "Okay."

The address Chen Ningsheng chose wasn't far from the company, probably because he had already planned to commute to and from get off work with Xu Xinchen. The two companies were only separated by two alleys.

When Xu Xinchen arrived at the new company, she immediately understood Chen Ningsheng's thoughts, and her eyes were filled with sweetness as she looked at him.

The design of the new company is exactly the same as in the photos, and even more beautiful. The exterior facade is made of burgundy, which looks very elegant and high-end.

Pushing open the door and stepping into the company, you'll see that one wall has been demolished and replaced with a floor-to-ceiling window, where the sunlight shines brightly.

The windows are covered with rows of bamboo curtains, which can be drawn down if it gets too hot. There are also many chandeliers on the ceiling, so there is no problem with the lighting.

What Xu Xinchen likes most is the wall, which has small decorations at intervals.

The small green potted plants or stickers make it look less like an office and more like a coffee shop.

Rows and rows of desks and chairs were arranged in the very center of the room, looking neat and clean. This environment was so much better than other companies, and Xu Xinchen liked it more and more the more she looked at it.

Chen Ningsheng looked at the smile on Xu Xinchen's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to pat Xu Xinchen's head: "How is it? Are you satisfied with it?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Xu Xinchen nodded frantically. The office environment was much better than those cramped offices where all you could do was sit at desks and chairs.

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Chen Ningsheng was practically bursting with smugness. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard footsteps at the door, and then the door was pulled open.

Aunt Fang walked in from outside. At first, she didn't expect there to be anyone inside. When she came in and saw Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng, she was startled: "Oh my!"

Xu Xinchen saw Aunt Fang, and her excitement intensified. She turned around and rushed to Aunt Fang's side, exclaiming, "Aunt Fang! Long time no see!"

When Aunt Fang saw Xu Xinchen, her heart, which had been startled, calmed down: "Oh, it's the two of you. I thought it was someone else. You gave me quite a fright."

Then he reached out and patted Xu Xinchen on the back: "Long time no see! Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you at all."

Xu Xinchen was taken aback. She turned her head and glanced at Chen Ningsheng, only to see him shake his head slightly, his eyes showing disapproval.

Xu Xinchen immediately understood. Chen Ningsheng hadn't told Aunt Fang about his kidnapping, and now he was telling her not to tell Aunt Fang either.

Since he had nothing else to do anyway, telling Aunt Fang would only scare her and wouldn't do any good, so he kept the matter a secret.

"I've been burying myself in design drafts at home lately, and I just got out of quarantine and came here."

Aunt Fang's smile deepened upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, and she reached out to Xu Xinchen to ask for the design drafts: "What have you drawn? Show them to me."

Xu Xinchen smiled shyly and took out the design drafts she had drawn from her bag: "They weren't very good. I threw away the ones I wasn't satisfied with and only kept this one."

Aunt Fang nodded knowingly. It's not like every design drawing will be satisfactory, so it's normal to discard some that you don't like. She didn't think much of it.

After she finished looking at Xu Xinchen's design, she couldn't stop smiling. She looked at Xu Xinchen as if she were looking at a treasure: "You have such talent, how come you only appeared in my life now? If I had met you earlier, I would have poached this treasure of yours long ago."

Xu Xinchen smiled gently: "It's not very late now. This company is almost finished. Then we can work together here. I have a lot of things I want to ask you for advice. You must teach me!"

Aunt Fang nodded and asked, "I've already heard from the workers that all we need to do is fix some water pipes and electrical wires. I'll find someone to pick an auspicious day in a couple of days, and then we can open for business."

As she spoke, Aunt Fang looked up at Chen Ningsheng: "Ningsheng, I know that young people like you nowadays are no longer..."

I believe all of this, and the recent crackdown has already worn down most of these things. However, this is a new beginning. We won't do anything exaggerated, but choosing a good date is essential.

Chen Ningsheng knew that people of Aunt Fang's age would still believe in such things to some extent, so he naturally did not disagree: "I understand, Aunt Fang."

Hearing this, Xu Xinchen, who was standing to the side, thought about her own position and lowered her head somewhat guiltily, directly changing the subject: "Aunt Fang, what do you think of my painting this time?"

Aunt Fang poked Xu Xinchen's head with her finger: "Are you stupid? I just praised you for your talent, and you still can't understand what I mean."

Xu Xinchen smiled, pursing her lips: "I wanted to hear your positive affirmation. What you just said didn't praise me directly."

Aunt Fang laughed: "How clever you are! Okay, okay, I'll praise you directly, you drew very well."

Xu Xinchen couldn't hold back and burst into laughter with Aunt Fang, and Chen Ningsheng also joined in the laughter.

After chatting casually for a while, the group turned around and walked outside. They randomly found a restaurant and began discussing all the rules and regulations for the new company.
