Chapter 32 Team Building on Qingji Island
Anmi's work is gradually getting on track.
Every day I take the subway from my rented apartment to the company, and after work I go back home to eat, drink and go shopping with Tang Caiwanqiu.
The days flew by.
She never saw Yan Jinnian in the elevator again.
I haven't received any red dot notifications on WeChat either.
It was as if the other party didn't care at all about being deleted.
Anmi would sometimes wonder in the dead of night whether this person was real or just a dream.
Anmi was processing documents when she suddenly received a group message on WeChat Work.
[Dear colleagues, our department's team building activity will be held on...]
"Team building?" An Mi leaned towards Zhao Meng. "Is everyone required to go?"
“Of course!” Zhao Meng was very happy. “Going to Qingji Island! I’ve wanted to go for a long time, but the airfare is too expensive. I didn’t expect that this team building activity would be held there.”
Anmi laughed along with her twice.
She had just been running with Tang Cai for two nights, and she never expected that he would betray her so soon.
Zhao Meng carefully read through the notice.
"Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday—three days in a row, and staying in five-star hotels! Enough said, the Yan family is awesome!"
Anmi scrolled the mouse with her finger.
Beautiful island scenery, accompanied by pictures of luxurious hotels.
Sigh... If only Tang Cai could be brought along too.
She sent a private WeChat message to Wanqiu.
"Is your team building trip also to Qingji Island?"
The other side replied very quickly.
"What team building? I was secretly watching short videos on DMV in the bathroom."
Anmi: "..."
It seems that each department has a different time for team building activities.
She told Wanqiu about her team-building activities, but Wanqiu was probably watching the video again and didn't reply for three minutes.
"Oh, so that's what it is! We haven't heard anything about it here. But even if we did, I wouldn't want to go. They all have such long faces; it wouldn't be fun."
Anmi, afraid of disturbing her while she was watching short videos, replied with an emoji and then closed WeChat.
On the day of the team building event, she got up very early.
The agreed meeting point was downstairs at the company building, where a car would come to take them to the airport.
Anmi packed her luggage the night before.
Tang Cai told her that the sea view on Qingji Island was particularly beautiful, and advised her to bring two more dresses so that she could definitely take great photos.
Anmi brought almost everything she could, including her long skirts, short skirts, and beach dresses, thinking it was better to be prepared.
When I arrived at the company gate, all my colleagues were already there.
Anmi lives quite far away, and it's troublesome to take the subway.
Fortunately, there was still time. Tan Tao counted the number of people and had them confirm their ID cards before arranging for everyone to board the bus.
Zhao Meng and An Mi got on the bus together, chose a seat in the middle section, put their things away, and started to catch up on their naps.
We departed from Kyoto Airport and arrived at our hotel on Qingji Island at 11:00 AM.
Anmi waited in the hotel lobby with the rest of the group to be assigned rooms.
The team building activities were well-funded, and each employee had their own room.
Tan Tao called out names one by one, and those whose names were called went to the front to collect their room cards.
Anmi stood in the crowd, chatting with Zhao Meng while waiting for her name to be called.
The number of people gradually decreased.
Anmi waited until everyone had received their room keys and gone upstairs, but she still hadn't received her name.
"Manager, what about me?" she asked as she stepped forward.
Tan Tao glanced around to make sure everyone had left before taking out an elegant room key from his handbag and whispering, "Don't worry, it's here!"
A subtle smile appeared on his face.
Seeing him like this, Anmi felt inexplicably nervous.
"Manager Tan, you should prioritize your family!"
Tan Tao's lips twitched: "What are you thinking about?"
He said in a serious tone, "This is a company perk for you, a luxury suite."
"Everyone else got a standard double room, so I waited until everyone left before giving you the room key."
At his age, Tan Tao is still being misunderstood by young girls as a perverted boss; he's truly speechless.
Anmi hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Manager, I thought you had ulterior motives."
Tan Tao: "..."
"Alright, you can go upstairs now." He handed the room key to Anmi and turned to go upstairs.
“Manager…” Anmi called out to him, “But…why am I the only one in a suite?”
Why does the company only give her this benefit when she's a junior employee who just started working there?
Anmi still found it strange.
Tan Tao also wanted to know why, but he was just following the arrangements made by the finance and planning departments.
However, he kept Jack's words in mind last time, and this time, even though he, as a supervisor, was staying in an executive room, his subordinates had bypassed him and stayed in a luxury suite.
Feeling aggrieved, Tan Tao spoke bluntly: "Think about who in the company you know and who has a lot of influence. Maybe they used some method to arrange things for you."
After saying that, he went upstairs to put his luggage away.
Anmi stood there and thought for a moment.
The only person in the company who knows her is Wanqiu.
Could it have been arranged by Wanqiu?
However, given Wanqiu's status and financial resources, securing this suite for her was indeed very easy.
Wanqiu must have been worried that she wouldn't have a good place to stay while traveling, so she specially booked a luxury suite for her.
My dearest girl!
After figuring it out, Anmi took out her phone and sent Wanqiu a big heart.
"My dear, I love you!"
Yan Wanqiu was slacking off when she saw this message. She thought An Mi was just having too much fun on her trip and was confessing her feelings to everyone, so she didn't take it seriously.
Anmi took the room key and went up in the elevator.
The luxury suite is on the eighth floor of the hotel.
Stepping out of the elevator, you'll find the corridor covered with a beautiful carpet.
She pushed her suitcase and checked each door number one by one.
"0816...Here!"
Anmi unlocked the door with the room key, glancing to the side.
"0819".
Her room door was separated from the door of another suite by only one wall.
"16 and 19, you might mistake them if you don't have good eyesight."
Anmi pushed open the door to herself, and the luxurious layout of the room made her exclaim "Wow!" involuntarily.
So stylish!
Is this what a luxury suite in a five-star hotel looks like?
A huge living room with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views!
Anmi took out her phone and snapped several photos, then shared them to her girlfriends' group chat with a single click.
"I've come to town!"
After taking the photos, she put her luggage away and went down to the assembly point.
She didn't mention the room incident to Zhao Meng.
After all, it was a "gift for a young lady" from Wanqiu, so she knew to keep it a secret.
We ate lunch out, and in the afternoon, the department organized a group recreational activity.
Department members were divided into small groups to participate in various games and competitions, and the winners received prizes.
Anmi had a lot of fun participating in this kind of team building activity for the first time.
Although I didn't win the prize in the end, I put in a lot of effort.
The game ended at 5 PM.
Tan Tao said that everyone would have a barbecue on the beach in the afternoon, and that they should go back and change into nice clothes to take pictures.
Anmi then prepared to go back to her room to change into her beach dress.
As she walked into the hotel, she was still telling Zhao Meng what clothes she had brought.
My gaze drifted across the lounge area of the lobby in a daze.
A familiar profile suddenly appeared on the sofa.
The man's eyelashes were lowered, as if he were thinking about something.
The pinkish-purple sunset over Qingji Island spread out outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, like a dreamlike oil painting.
He was enveloped in the misty atmosphere of the oil painting, his cheeks tinged with a soft, divine hue.
Anmi had frozen in place without realizing it.
