“I had some experience back home, so I’m in a management position here.”
"However, this is just a small, newly established studio that operates as a tutoring center."
"If you all want to see it, I'll take you there."
"But you have to get up early, maybe eight o'clock. We'll leave at eight-thirty."
Shen Qingqing did not directly answer the question about introducing their work, but only said that she would take them to see it.
The three nodded in unison, but when they heard that Shen Qingqing was actually in management, the other three were shocked.
"I never expected that among the four of us, the most powerful one is actually the youngest!" Fang Rong's eyes were shining as she looked at Shen Qingqing.
"Isn't this just like the characters in those online novels you love to read? Now you don't need to project yourself onto them anymore, we have a ready-made one in our dorm!" Gu Tianqi joked.
Shen Qingqing felt ashamed; her experiences, if you really looked at them, were indeed quite like something out of a novel.
Fang Rong suddenly realized, pointed a finger at Gu Tianqi from a distance, and gave her an affirming look: "You reminded me! I wanted to recommend this novel I've been reading recently. The female lead is simply the best at pretending to be weak while actually being strong!"
"She looks thin and frail, but she has a ton of amazing skills, and her strength is increasing at an incredible pace!"
When Shen Qingqing saw Fang Rong take out her phone and open a familiar app, she was reminded of the wildly popular female-centric novel genre that had flourished in recent years.
The conversation completely shifted to the novel after Fang Rong took out her phone and started recommending it.
Shen Qingqing also loved reading it, especially after she stopped thinking about how to write it like she did in her previous life and started reading it without using her brain at all. It was like a completely new and wonderful world.
The next day, Fang Rong and the others got up on time as expected. After Shen Qingqing asked if they wanted to have breakfast in the cafeteria before leaving, they were told to eat out.
“Okay, let’s go!” Shen Qingqing led the way and met up with Wu Fangyi at the school gate.
Wu Fangyi was quite surprised to see the other three people following behind Shen Qingqing. "Qingqing, who is this...?"
“Sister Fangyi, these are my three roommates. This is Fang Rong, this is Gu Tianqi, and this is Meng Mingfei.” Shen Qingqing introduced them to Wu Fangyi one by one. “They heard that I work in management at Utour, so they want to come with me to see me.”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Wu Fangyi understood and greeted him politely.
They weren't that extravagant; they would take a taxi from Q University to Tongzhou District, or they would take the subway as usual.
On the subway, Shen Qingqing frequently reported and confirmed with people from various departments on her phone. Although the signal was not very good, there was enough time. By the time she got off the subway, she had a basic understanding of the situation.
When Zheng's father learned that they were going to set up a tutoring institution, he selected five locations, three of which were in Tongzhou District and the other two in Dianzhou District.
Q University is located in Dian District, so Shen Qingqing first signed a contract for Tong District. Later, after construction started on the Tong District site, Shen Qingqing asked Zheng's father to sign another contract for Dian District.
Shen Qingqing plans to separate the main business of the two districts.
Since it's an educational studio, education can't be limited to just tutoring.
Zheng Dongqi waited for them at the subway entrance.
As soon as they went outside, Zheng Dongqi handed the tablet to Shen Qingqing as usual: "Boss, the hard decoration is all done. As for the soft decoration, the administration, operations and marketing departments discussed it and suggested that the style be in line with the local style, with a spirit of striving and progress."
Shen Qingqing took the tablet and looked at the several interior design drafts that had been agreed upon. "Have you done any market research or comparison with other agencies?"
"The marketing department has it; the studio will send you a detailed report." Zheng Dongqi led them toward the car.
Apart from Wu Fangyi, Fang Rong and the other two were completely dumbfounded when they heard Zheng Dongqi call Shen Qingqing "little boss".
They only heard Shen Qingqing say that she was in management, but they didn't hear her say that she was the boss!
So, is the phrase "having some experience at home" meant to tell them this is a family business?
Fang Rong and the other two followed Wu Fangyi into the back seat in a daze.
The studio is located just a 15-minute drive from the subway station, which is very close.
Shen Qingqing got out of the car, not forgetting her friends who had come with her, and stopped to wait for Fang Rong and the others: "Sister Rongrong, Sister Gugu, Sister Mingfei, this is the place, our studio."
Fang Rong held Gu Tianqi tightly on her left and Meng Mingfei tightly on her right, visibly becoming restrained.
"However, the renovation isn't completely finished yet, so what you see might be a rather ugly model room." Shen Qingqing seemed oblivious to Fang Rong's awkwardness as she guided them inside and gave them a brief introduction.
Wu Fangyi followed at the very back.
It's as if she's saying that no one can get past her today.
There was also Zheng Dongqi following beside them with a smile.
However, soon after Shen Qingqing went inside, she didn't have time to spend with Fang Rong and the others because it was time for the meeting.
"Sister Fangyi! I'll leave Sister Rongrong and the other two in your care for now! I have to go to a meeting!" Shen Qingqing grabbed Wu Fangyi's hand, blinking her eyes at her. This is how it is when you need someone's help.
Wu Fangyi was used to being suddenly given something by her, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you can go ahead."
"OK, OK! Rongrong, Gugu, Mingfei, you can ask or look at anything you want. You can ask Fangyi; she's the second boss of the studio, and she knows the place as well as I do. I'll go get busy now!" Shen Qingqing finished instructing Fang Rong and the other two, then turned to Zheng Dongqi and said, "Dongqi, order a milk tea set. Ask Rongrong and the others what they want to drink. Same rules for the others."
