The two girls at the front desk were chatting. As soon as Le Yao entered, one of them, with a ponytail, pointed upstairs and said, "Sister Le, hurry up! Sister Li is getting bald from waiting for you."
The short-haired girl next to him nodded in agreement.
Han Binglan remembered the two receptionists. The girl with the ponytail was named Ma Zimeng, and she had applied for the job after graduating from vocational school last year.
The short-haired girl is named Liu Wenjing. She is the cousin of Liu Yimin, the husband of CEO Zhao Nan. After graduating from the Open University last year, she couldn't find a suitable job, so she asked her uncle Liu Yimin for help and was arranged to work as a receptionist at a travel agency.
Both girls have cheerful personalities and are quite likable.
He smiled and nodded, and was about to go inside when he suddenly remembered something. He opened his canvas bag, took out two bags, and placed them in front of the two girls.
"Thank you, Sister Le." Liu Wenjing quickly picked up one of the bags. "My favorite flavor."
Han Binglan went around the reception desk to the back, where there was a reception hall where guests usually came to inquire and sign contracts. Next to it was a large room, which was the tour guide's room. The door was open at the moment, and there were voices coming from inside, so there were obviously people there.
However, instead of going over to say hello, she went straight up to the second floor, knocked on the door of the scheduling office, and then pushed it open.
The planning department has three planning coordinators, all of whom are veteran tour guides.
Li Hua was once a nationally recognized outstanding tour guide.
At this moment, only Li Hua was there. When he saw Le Yao, his eyes widened and he said, "I thought I was going to have to wait for you forever."
"Sister Li, am I just too tired? I overslept." Han Binglan chuckled twice. This Li Hua was Le Yao's mentor. Three years ago, Le Yao graduated from university and applied for the job with the mindset that "being a tour guide means I can travel for free." Li Hua taught her step by step. This person was energetic and decisive, and her words were sharp, but she was kind-hearted. She was a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Alright, hurry up and bring out your accounts." Li Hua waved his hand.
Han Binglan then took out three envelopes from her canvas bag, each containing a team's expense report.
With Li Hua's help, the accounts for the three teams were quickly settled. Han Binglan then took them to the finance office, verified them, and handed over the remaining group funds. After that, she received her group leader subsidy.
Because Le Yao is an excellent tour guide, her daily allowance is the highest in the travel agency. The three maps cover fifteen days, so she received a allowance of three thousand yuan.
Han Binglan looked at the extra charges on her phone and sighed softly. It was quite a sum of money; in the past, it wouldn't even have been enough for an afternoon tea. But now…
"Oh, right, Le Yao," Tian Shan from the finance department called out to Han Binglan as she was about to leave, "It's President Zhao's birthday tonight, and everyone's been pooling their money to buy her a gift. What do you think..."
"Sure," Han Binglan nodded eagerly. "How much do you need?"
"Each person contributes 100, and any overpayment will be refunded while any underpayment will be collected."
"Okay." Han Binglan transferred 100 yuan to Tian Shan using her phone. "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Tian."
Tian Shan is the travel agency's accountant and also the oldest person there. She's over fifty this year, and everyone calls her Aunt Tian.
"You're so sweet-talking." Tian Shan packed her things and got up to leave. "What about what I told you last time? What have you thought about?"
"Last time? What happened?"
"See, I knew you'd forgotten." Tian Shan patted Han Binglan's head. "My classmate's son, you met him last time he came over, his name is Yue Kai, he's twenty-six this year, he works at the power plant, he owns a house and a car, and he's a handsome young man..."
"Hehe, Aunt Tian, I don't want to find a boyfriend yet." Han Binglan quickly waved her hand. "So, thank you, Aunt Tian."
“You’re already twenty-four today, not young anymore. Do you really think you can be a tour guide for the rest of your life?” Tian Shan frowned. “Think it over carefully. My classmate and her husband both work for public institutions. Their institutions allocated them an apartment, and when their old house was demolished, they received over a million yuan in compensation. Yue Kai is an only child, and his workplace benefits are very good. He doesn’t have as many messy issues…”
"Aunt Tian, I really don't want to find a partner so early. You know, my younger brother is still in school, and my family is planning to take out a loan to buy another house. If I start dating, I definitely won't be able to help my family anymore. So, let's wait a bit longer." Han Binglan awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, sighing inwardly. After seeing a man like Nangong Jue, she couldn't stand any other kind of man.
However, now that she's in a different world, she doesn't plan to live a lonely life. But this time, she's determined to find someone she loves who also loves her, because it's exhausting to give love without receiving a response.
As for Yue Kai, she remembered him; he was indeed good-looking, and his family seemed well-off, but she didn't feel anything for him, so she didn't want to compromise herself.
“You child…” Tian Shan patted Han Binglan’s shoulder, “You are so filial, but remember, don’t be blindly filial, or you will be labeled a ‘brother-supporting demon’ and end up getting yourself into trouble.”
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Han Binglan nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party was no longer mentioning Yue Kai.
The general manager of the travel agency is Zhao Nan, who also started as a tour guide. He later founded Haiyun Travel Agency, which initially only handled domestic tourism. Now, it has been renamed China International Travel Service and can also handle international tourism.
Today is her 38th birthday. We've just finished the busy summer and the National Day holiday, and now it's the off-season for tourism, so everyone can relax. That's why we take this opportunity every year to get together with our colleagues.
Zhao Nan's husband is named Liu Yimin. He used to drive tour buses, and later he contracted a fleet of vehicles, which can be considered a powerful alliance between him and his wife.
The gathering was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, a five-star hotel that opened last year. It's quite upscale, and the buffet costs 398 yuan per person.
Because the hotel was not far from the company, less than a ten-minute walk away, the group of more than a dozen people walked there.
"Le Yao." Luan Qing caught up with Han Binglan and walked alongside her. "Once October is over, things will be more relaxed. What are your plans?"
Han Binglan glanced at Luan Qing. In Le Yao's memory, this person had once confessed his feelings to her in private, but she had been rejected.
In other words, this person likes themselves.
Han Binglan immediately felt alarmed and subconsciously moved aside: "I haven't thought about it." She was simply not suited to be a tour guide and couldn't do this kind of work well. It just so happened that her labor contract with the travel agency would expire at the end of the year, and she would look for a new job then.
