Jing Zhe also wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with Murong Xi. Moreover, he didn't just want to talk to Murong Xi; he wanted to have a deeper conversation with her.
Based on Murong Xi's reaction just now, Jing Zhe felt that as long as they could find a quiet, secluded place, today's harvest should be quite substantial!
As for the inn that Murong Xi mentioned…
Jing Zhe disagreed. After all, even in an inn, there were people upstairs and downstairs, and people in the next room. How could he possibly perform?
So he refused, saying, "An inn won't do."
"Why not?"
Murong Xi was somewhat disappointed and asked, biting her lip.
"The inn is packed with people!"
"An inn... how could all the rooms be full of people?"
Murong Xi was confused. "It's just the two of us!"
"It's just the two of us inside, but outside, and next door, there are people everywhere!"
Hearing this, Murong Xi finally understood what he meant, but she was still a little confused and asked, "So what if there are people? They don't know us, what are we afraid of?"
"Of course I'm scared. I don't want them to hear your voice."
"..."
Murong Xi was taken aback for a moment, "I just won't let them hear. I can speak quietly."
"It's not a matter of being quiet or not; I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself when you start yelling..."
"Call?"
Murong Xi was even more bewildered.
Jing Zhe pursed his lips, not saying anything explicitly, thinking to himself, "You'll see how naive that idea is when the time comes. I'm so powerful, you'll probably yell the loudest!"
So he said, "The inn won't do. The best place is the newspaper office; that's my territory!"
Upon hearing Jing Zhe's suggestion of a newspaper, Murong Xi immediately lost her spirits and said, "A newspaper is even less suitable! Not to mention your princess senior sister is there, there are so many other members as well, even more people!"
Jing Zhe chuckled, "Let's sneak over and scout things out first!"
"..."
Murong Xi couldn't resist Jing Zhe's insistence, so he pulled her along towards the newspaper office.
...
Before long, the two arrived outside the newspaper office, but stopped at the entrance of the alley outside the newspaper office and did not go any further.
Why don't you go in?
It was Jing Zhe who suggested coming here, but when we arrived, he acted like a thief and didn't go in. So I asked him out of curiosity.
"etc…"
Jing Zhe peeked out slightly and, upon finally seeing someone appear outside the courtyard in front of the newspaper office, immediately perked up and waved.
A short while later, Xiong San ran over.
"President Jing, you're here. Why don't you come in?"
Jing Zhe did not answer, but instead asked, "Has the princess arrived?"
"They're here."
"..."
Just as Jing Zhe and Murong Xi were about to lower their eyelids, they heard Xiong San say, "But they've left again."
"..."
Jing Zhe suppressed the urge to beat him up and gestured for him to continue.
"Just like yesterday, Her Highness arrived at the newspaper office early in the morning. However, after waiting and waiting, President Jing did not appear. So, she sent someone to inquire and heard that President Jing had left Wenxiangju in the morning. Her Highness waited here until noon, but President Jing still hadn't returned, so she went back..."
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe and Murong Xi's eyes lit up.
If Su Mochen were here, the two of them would have absolutely no chance, but now that she's gone, the chances have increased...
However, he said with some regret, "Oh, that's a real pity. I didn't expect His Highness to leave..."
"President Jing, Her Highness the Princess left not long ago, and she probably hasn't returned to the palace yet!"
Seeing Jing Zhe's "sincere feelings," Xiong San volunteered, "Should I go and bring His Highness back? His Highness would be very happy if he heard that President Jing is at the newspaper!"
"..."
Jing Zhe paused for a few seconds, looking somewhat disappointed.
"This... is unnecessary. Your Highness is already tired enough from making this round trip. It would be disrespectful to call her back and make her go through all that trouble."
"oh…"
The next moment, the three men entered the newspaper office.
...
Because the last issue of the newspaper before the new year will be released tomorrow morning, the newspapers at the office were printed last night, and everyone checked them again this morning. There were no major problems.
Therefore, newspaper offices are relatively quiet these days.
Jing Zhe called Chen Jiannan over, and the other members of the commune all gathered around when they saw this.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, how are the preparations going?"
Chen Jiannan assumed Jing Zhe was inspecting the work, and appeared quite confident: "As per President Jing's instructions, the newspaper is operating normally. Moreover, the last issue before the New Year has already been delivered to Wenxiangju, and it's just waiting to go on sale tomorrow morning!"
"Is everything alright?"
Chen Jiannan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, President Jing, there won't be any problems!"
Jing Zhe nodded in satisfaction and looked at everyone, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. But don't worry, I will definitely keep my promises!"
Then he looked at Chen Jiannan and asked, "Editor-in-Chief Chen, have you prepared the money I asked you to prepare before?"
Chen Jiannan nodded. "Ready, President Jing."
"Okay, after we finish distributing the newspapers tomorrow morning, we'll start handing out year-end bonuses this afternoon. Everyone will get a good amount of money!"
"Thank you very much, President Jing!"
All the members shouted in unison.
Jing Zhe pressed his hand down and said, "No need to thank me. This is what you deserve after working so hard for so long. Also, in addition to the year-end bonus, I will hold a celebration banquet for everyone at Wenxiangju tomorrow night. We will drink until we drop!"
"After the celebration banquet, everyone can go home for the New Year and have a good rest for a few days! After the New Year, we're not in a hurry; we'll officially open for business on the seventh day of the first lunar month!"
"Oh~"
Jing Zhe had promised year-end bonuses, a celebration banquet, and annual leave before, but no one took it seriously because they had never heard of such things before, let alone anyone actually doing them.
I didn't expect Jing Zhe to remember this, and even want to complete it. This is so exciting.
With a leader like this, how could one possibly have any complaints?
Jing Zhe gestured for everyone to be quiet again, then said with a smile, "I did this to give everyone some benefits in advance. After all, we'll be busy after the New Year, with newspaper branches being set up in various places. Everyone will inevitably be traveling around to help set up the branches!"
"President Jing, this is what we should do!"
"Yes, compared to what President Jing gave us, what are these?"
"President Jing, let me make this clear in advance: you absolutely must take me with you when you open a branch office. I want to visit different places!"
"Yeah, include me too!"
"Me too!"
Everyone was in high spirits. They had already heard about Jing Zhe's plan to open a branch of the newspaper, and they also knew that once they went to the branch, they would be at the highest level of leadership, and wouldn't they be able to make a name for themselves?
