Chapter 31 Mr. Yan, did you go to the wrong room?
Over the next few days, Su Ruan was extremely busy.
By day, she is an efficient curatorial assistant in the Qingyan Collection Department, striving to keep everything perfectly under Yan Tingnan's watchful eye.
Back at the apartment that night, I dragged Song Shengsheng to stay up late, until her eyes were practically glowing green.
Design drawings, supply chain connections, prototyping, and marketing plans covered the table, and coffee was poured like water.
On Wednesday afternoon, Susoft was locked in a fierce battle with a budget report.
An internal email notification popped up from the administration department, with a prominent title.
[To all Qingyan colleagues: To reward everyone for your recent hard work, we have arranged a two-day, one-night team building activity at the beach this Thursday at Qiandao Bay. Please see the attached itinerary for details. All departments are requested to coordinate participation.]
Su Ruan stared at the screen, then everything went black.
She rubbed her throbbing temples, opened the reply box, and typed 'Busy with work, requesting to stay on duty'.
Before she could finish typing, Huo Siyue's swivel chair slid down to her workstation.
"Sisters! The beach! Swimsuits! Sunshine! Sand! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
She rubbed her hands together excitedly.
"Is your battle armor ready?"
Su Ruan slumped into the swivel chair, looking as if her bones had been removed, and waved her hand with utter despair.
"I'm not going."
Her tone was resolute, revealing the tragic grandeur of a corporate slave.
"Making money is the priority. Team building is just a sugar-coated bullet from capitalists, a poison that corrodes the will of us beasts of burden!"
Huo Siyue's eyes widened: "Not going?!"
"Are you crazy! It's a team building event at Qingyan! A golden opportunity to fleece capitalism!"
"Seafood is plentiful, a five-star high-end sea view homestay, isn't it great to lie down and sunbathe like a salted fish?"
It smells wonderful, very fragrant.
But her 30 million yuan performance-based agreement weighed heavily on her, and even the most delicious seafood couldn't compete with the allure of her KPIs.
Su Ruan moved her fingers back to the keyboard.
"Please convey my sincerest greetings to the capitalists on my behalf, and tell them that I am willing to stay and dedicate my life to the project."
Huo Siyue sighed dejectedly.
"Really not going? That would be such a shame."
She observed Su Ruan's reaction and continued to bombard her with questions.
"My brother is going too this time."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruan's fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, paused in mid-air.
She sat up abruptly, her previously listless eyes instantly focusing.
She snapped out the "apply to stay" message she had just typed, and a new reply was generated instantly.
[Su Ruan from the Collections Department has confirmed her participation in the team building activity! Looking forward to spending quality time with everyone! (Sunshine)(Beach)(Waves)]
Sent successfully.
His movements were fluid and graceful, but his attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.
Huo Siyue was dumbfounded.
"Su Daji, your face-changing speed is so fast that even a Sichuan opera master would have to offer you a cigarette."
Su Ruan's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly leaned back in her chair.
Making money is a big deal, but fishing for Yan Tingnan is an even bigger priority!
We must grasp both aspects firmly!
"I suddenly realized that it's important to balance work and rest."
Huo Siyue nodded excitedly.
"That's it! Sister! The beach! Getting wet! The chances are huge!"
She cupped her face in her hands, lost in thought.
"Sunset, ocean waves..."
"Sisters, the swimsuit has to be super hot and amazing! Let's try to get it in one go and make my relationship with my boyfriend a reality!"
"Let me tell you, my brother's kind of detached and ascetic personality needs to be visually striking!"
"Black! Bandages! Seemingly visible! I guarantee that any scriptures he copies will turn into erotica!"
"Su Daji, I mentally support you in taking him down physically!"
Su Ruan rested her chin on her hand, her eyes darting over Huo Siyue's excited little face.
Whether or not it can be taken down depends on whether the pages of the scripture fall off by themselves.
Huo Siyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she chuckled and gave a thumbs up.
"Sisters, you're on the right track! Just wait for the scriptures to turn into pornography!"
After saying that, he slid back to his workstation.
Huo Siyue immediately took out her phone, opened the chat window with the pinned black profile picture, and began to passionately type.
[Brother! Urgent information!]
Su Rongang specifically came to find me to ask if you're going to the team-building event this time!
So, can you give me a definite answer?
Are you going or not? People are hoping for a chance encounter! (Subtle hint.jpg)
Meanwhile, in the CEO's office.
Yan Tingnan's private phone screen lit up silently, displaying a message from Huo Siyue.
His gaze swept over those lines of text, and he clicked to reply.
At the same time, a message notification popped up in the work group.
The reply list is being refreshed following the team-building notice just issued by the administration department.
He immediately recognized the familiar profile picture and name.
Less than ten seconds later, another message followed this one.
[Investment Department - Yan Yunye: Confirmed to participate.]
Yan Tingnan stared at the two names next to each other on the screen, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
At this moment, another message popped up in Huo Siyue's chat box.
[Bro?! Where is he?! Give me a response! I'm so worried!]
Yan Tingnan lowered her eyes and typed a single word in the chat box.
【Um. 】
send.
He put down his phone and looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the rows of tall buildings.
A moment later, press the internal line.
"Jinghuai".
"President Yan."
"My name is also on the team building trip to Shallow Island Bay."
"Yes, Mr. Yan."
...
The next morning, Su Ruan was packing her luggage.
Song Shengsheng leaned against the door frame, flicked her finger, and a small box fell into the inner compartment of her suitcase.
"Here you are, strategic materials."
She raised her eyebrows and smiled mischievously.
Su Ruan picked up the small square box with two fingers and looked at the size: "Size L?"
Song Shengsheng patted her on the shoulder.
"With Yan Tingnan's waist and legs, it would be a disservice to the Creator not to give her a size L."
"Get ready, pounce on him tonight!"
Without changing her expression, Su Ruan put the box of supplies into the small lambskin bag and snapped the lid shut.
They smiled knowingly.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
...
Shallow island bay, the sea breeze is salty and humid.
Su Ruan lowered the car window, and the breeze, carrying the scent of sunshine, rushed in, dispelling the weariness of the long drive.
As soon as the car entered the entrance of Guiqi Holiday Homestay, Huo Siyue rushed out of the lobby and waved wildly.
"Su Daji! Over here!"
As soon as Su Ruan parked the car, Huo Siyue rushed over and grabbed her arm, winking at her.
"Come on! I'll take you to your ocean-view suite! Guaranteed to have an unbeatable view!"
"suite?"
Su Ruan raised an eyebrow as Huo Siyue dragged her toward a standalone seaside building.
"Such a high-level team building event?"
"Maybe the system assigned it randomly? You just got lucky!"
Walk through the exquisite courtyard and swipe your card to enter.
Even though Su Ruan was mentally prepared, she was still stunned for a moment.
The living room is spacious, with a floor-to-ceiling window that frames the azure sea without any obstruction, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.
This far exceeds the standard of employee benefits.
Su Ruan looked around.
"This randomness is just too outrageous."
Huo Siyue chuckled and stuffed the room key into her hand.
"Who cares! As long as you're comfortable! You get ready first, we'll meet at the beach later!"
Su Ruan shrugged, taking it as the work of Huo Siyue, who had connections.
She dragged her luggage into the bedroom, her gaze sweeping across the room.
Besides the ridiculously large bed, there was also a long sofa that looked equally comfortable by the window.
Su Ruan opened her suitcase, pulled out a battle robe, and prepared to change into it.
She had just untied the straps of her dress when there was a sudden beep from the door.
The access card was swiped by someone else.
Su Ruan paused, then suddenly turned around.
The door was pushed open, and a tall, slender figure stepped in.
Yan Tingnan.
He looked up, his gaze unexpectedly meeting her half-undone dress.
Snow-white shoulders, slender waist, bra straps hanging loosely on her arms, threatening to fall off.
Seeing this, Su Ruan slowly pulled the shoulder strap back, a smile playing on her lips.
"Mr. Yan, have you come to the wrong room?"
Yan Tingnan didn't speak, but raised her hand, her knuckles holding a room key of the same type.
Su Ruan: "..."
