Xu Lin didn't take Wang Jing's matter to heart and was focused on her own career. She just didn't expect that Wang Jing would come over every few days after that day.
Xu Lin was busy, so Wang Jing didn't disturb her and just booked a private room to watch the performance.
Xu Lin's current businesses are divided into two main parts: a bookstore, which mainly rents and sells books, and a teahouse, which provides entertainment services such as hosting performances and renting venues.
Actually, bookstores don't make much money. Xu Lin started this business simply to provide people with a place to purify their souls, so as long as she doesn't lose money, that's fine.
Unlike bookstores, tea rooms are money-making machines. There are many wealthy people in the area who throw parties today, treat their girlfriends to afternoon tea tomorrow, and have birthday parties the day after. In short, orders keep pouring in.
Xu Lin has now trained quite a few people. She handed over the bookstore to Li Jingjing and gave her a share of the profits, and the tea room to Nie Zhiyuan. It has to be said that Nie Zhiyuan is really cut out for this. He came up with many of the activities. Xu Lin decided to start giving him a share of the profits in the second year as well.
With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, the first year since the apocalypse without any natural disasters, everyone in the base, from administrators to ordinary survivors, is filled with anticipation.
The Ministry of Culture had booked the venue and performance with Xu Lin well in advance. This was the largest project Xu Lin had undertaken since starting her business, and failure was not an option.
Every night, I would study plans in my study, and then hold meetings with various project managers in the tea room. We needed to develop new dessert varieties, create the right atmosphere for the stage, rehearse the programs to promote the main theme, and arrange the seating so everyone could see the entire stage…
Xu Lin had to make all the decisions, and she visibly lost weight during those days, which distressed Zhou Pin greatly. He tried every possible way to make her nourishing foods and urged her to rest every night.
Wang Jing still comes over to sit for a while every day, wearing a loose down jacket, and you can see the outline of her belly from the side. Xu Lin is too busy to come up and greet her.
The party was scheduled for New Year's Eve, but most people had no concept of time or date. The base announced that the party would be held five days later, and only then did everyone realize that five days later was New Year's Eve.
Almost all staff at the base were given a five-day holiday before the New Year celebration, allowing everyone to prepare for the holiday. Xu Lin closed the tea room and focused on preparing for the celebration.
The Ministry of Culture originally planned to hold a government celebration at Xu Lin's teahouse, which would be broadcast live on a communication device. Now, the communication device developed at the base can broadcast live.
Seeing the strong reaction from everyone, it was finally decided to hold a larger-scale event directly in the central square of the base. As a result, the Ministry of Culture was responsible for preparing the stage, lighting, sound system, seating, and so on, and all the preparations that Xu Lin had made before had to be overturned.
However, Xu Lin was not discouraged. A big celebration was held in the central square, and the teahouse held an event on the first day of the lunar new year, inviting major customers who had been with the teahouse since its opening to come and relax.
In this way, Xu Lin only needed to select two programs from the tea room's prepared programs to participate in the grand gala, while the rest could be performed by herself in the tea room. The performance pressure was greatly reduced, and Xu Lin was even able to eat better. Zhou Pin breathed a sigh of relief.
On New Year's Eve, lanterns and decorations were everywhere, and everyone wore happy smiles, as if the end of the world would be over after this New Year's Eve.
The hosts of the party were Nie Zhiyuan and a girl from the teahouse. The Ministry of Culture also sent two men and women who had previously worked as hosts. After the opening song and dance performance, Nie Zhiyuan and his group of four went on stage to give a speech.
