The layout of the floor where the Tyranny team is located is very similar to the design of the logo. The training room has a futuristic style that blends dark red and black tones, and is surrounded by soundproof glass doors and windows.
Not far away are the captain's and vice-captain's offices, which are shared by the two. They are in a relatively large room with three glass walls, so you can clearly see what's going on inside and outside.
The quiet workstation is located between the captain's office and the training room, making it convenient to communicate between the two without disturbing work and training.
Looking at the huge and bright Tyranny emblem on the only wall, and the training room and captain's room that could be seen by turning one's head to the left and right, Chen Ning still had a strange feeling in his heart.
Completely different from my previous experience in investment banking, it was an unprecedentedly open space with no privacy, and a complex corporate culture where freedom and pressure came together.
"What do you think?"
While she was still in a daze, Zhang Xinjie was already standing not far behind her. Seeing her turn around and make way for the doorway, he went inside.
“It’s not quite what I expected.” Shen Ning placed the office supplies she received from HR and administration on the empty table and looked around again. “I didn’t expect that three sides were glass, and you could see clearly inside and out.”
"This was the captain's suggestion at the time. He hoped that the team's environment could be bright and open, because the traditional closed-door environment was too cramped and dark."
He smiled knowingly and said, "That's definitely Captain Han's style."
"What, don't you think this is comprehensive supervision to prevent slacking off?"
"If it wasn't Han who brought it up, then this explanation is quite plausible."
"Oh?" Zhang Xinjie pushed up his glasses and smiled, a rare occurrence for him. "I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of the captain."
"Does the vice-captain think I hold a grudge?"
"I wouldn't hold a grudge, but it's only been an hour, and you seem quite easygoing."
"It has nothing to do with whether you are broad-minded or not, it's just telling the truth."
"To be honest, you can't survive in an investment banking environment, right?"
Shen Ning turned her gaze to Zhang Xinjie and asked jokingly, "Is our workplace like that too?"
Zhang Xinjie stared at her, momentarily at a loss for words.
Most people would simply say, "That's not how Tyranny is," but she had to ask a counter-question.
They even used "our unit," which sounds friendly but implies, "If I was blind enough to choose a unit obsessed with surveillance, then you were blind too."
First, she criticized Han without any mercy in front of him, and now she is questioning and subtly criticizing him. She has become a person who has struggled in society and has developed the ability to say whatever she wants to people. When she comes to them, she directly delivers a verbal blow.
Zhang Xinjie seriously doubted whether he had a face that made him particularly easy to bully.
He was still thinking about how to reply when he heard Shen Ning continue speaking.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
Zhang Xinjie looked at her, and when he said this, he had a slight smile on his face but no mockery. He didn't seem unwilling at all, and he was quite flexible and adaptable.
At that moment, he really wanted to blurt out: Are you afraid I'll give you a low performance score?
But my mind immediately slammed on the brakes: Aren't you afraid this girl will give you a piece of her mind right there and then?
Zhang Xinjie: ...
That's quite possible.
After a rapid mental assessment, Zhang Xinjie decided to take advantage of the situation Chen Ning had given him and directly changed the subject.
"We'll hand over some work today, as time is a bit tight. In a couple of days, Zhang Jiale and I will be going to Zurich for the World Invitational Tournament. After that, the team's basic work will depend on you and the captain."
"OK."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ning immediately suppressed her smile, pulled up a chair for Zhang Xinjie, and took out the notebook and pen she had just received to take notes diligently.
"There will be less work for the team during the summer break, as many people will go home, but there will be a concentrated period for other support work."
"Because summer break is the promotional period?" Shen Ning asked.
"Yes, personnel transfers, roster changes, promotional activities during the post-season bonus period, and new merchandise all come out around this time, requiring a lot of coordinated interviews, reports, and material support."
While taking notes, Shen Ning added her own thoughts: "In addition, there is the World Invitational Tournament this year. With both you and Zhang Jiale participating, Tyranny will also be a focus of media attention. Posters and materials will definitely need to be released. Can you give interviews in Switzerland?"
After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Zhang Xinjie nod at her.
An assistant who understands things immediately and has the ability to apply knowledge to other situations is so reassuring.
He had originally intended to give them a special instruction, but since they had already thought of it themselves, there was no need for him to explain further.
Suddenly, Zhang Xinjie found Shen Ning's previous sharp tongue much more pleasant to hear.
"I can accept interviews, but the interview outline needs to be approved by our event organizing committee, and scheduling a time may be quite troublesome, so it needs to be done in advance."
"If I have an outline, I'll go through it first, discuss it with the captain, and then send it to you."
"Okay." With that, Zhang Xinjie took out a list full of contact information from the materials he brought. "This is the team's contact list, as well as the contact information for the media we usually communicate with. However, the publicity department also has regular contact information for the media, so be careful not to have any conflicts."
"Understood. I'll contact the publicity department if there's anything I need to discuss. Could you direct me to the relevant person there?"
“I’ve compiled a document listing the contact persons and key tasks for each department in the company, and it’s all on a USB drive. There’s also an electronic version in the media contact list I just received.” Zhang Xinjie took the USB drive out of the document bag. “There are also various previous work materials. You can familiarize yourself with them when you have time.”
"OK."
"Today's main focus is on discussing the summer break publicity with the publicity department. Song Qiying is a key talent to be cultivated in the future, so she needs to stand out a bit more than before. You can discuss the other details with them. I've already spoken to them, so you can contact them directly."
"OK."
Are there any other questions?
Shen Ning quickly gathered her thoughts: "Not at the moment. Let me add you as a friend first, and I'll ask you if I have any questions."
Zhang Xinjie nodded, pointed out the QR code and handed it out. He looked up at his watch and realized that only a dozen minutes had passed.
Ten minutes...
He originally planned to talk about it in great detail for half an hour.
The conversation turned out to be very efficient and straightforward, unlike what one would expect from a newcomer. She didn't need to say anything; the person could figure it out on their own. In fact, she didn't ask any particularly basic or detailed questions.
One remained silent, and the other did not ask.
Such a handover of work was indeed a bit hasty.
I hesitated for a moment whether to give any more instructions, but seeing how serious Shen Ning looked, I thought I'd leave it at that for now and see how things go with today's meeting.
Zhang Xinjie returned to his office next door, and after sitting down, he subconsciously glanced to his right. On the other side of the clear, bright glass, Chen Ning was already dialing a number in her contacts, holding a pen in her hand, ready to jot something down at any moment.
She's a girl with really strong initiative.
Even he felt inspired.
Zhang Xinjie pulled himself out of his thoughts and opened his tablet to study the combinations for the World Invitational Tournament.
In the entire team area, only two people were working silently, separated by glass. They could see each other, but no one deliberately tried to spy on them anymore.
Half an hour later, footsteps and voices could be heard in the hallway, and many figures in red and black team uniforms appeared in front of the glass door.
"A new girl! Lao Han, is this our assistant?" Zhang Jiale was beaming with excitement.
When Han Wenqing saw Zhang Xinjie and Shen Ning approaching, he calmly introduced them: "New assistant, Shen Ning."
"Oh~"
"Sigh~"
Hello, hello~
"I'm so happy, I finally have a girl!"
"We can finally stop posting invoices!"
"Aww~"
It's rare to see a female member join the Tyranny team, which is supposed to be completely devoid of female members. A group of guys gathered around Chen Ning, their excited shouts rising and falling.
Especially her bright and beautiful face with a touch of charm, her long legs under her short skirt, her tall figure... it was like Cupid's arrows hitting their knees one after another!
Where did you find such an absolutely stunning beauty?!
"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Ning. I just started working here today and will be working as an assistant. I hope you'll all take good care of me."
Shen Ning gave a brief self-introduction, revealing a standard, slight smile that struck everyone's hearts again. They were all itching to know what to say, but they didn't know what to say to avoid sounding too frivolous.
The youngest member, Song Qiying, said quite frankly, "She looks really good when she smiles."
Tyranny members: !!!
This kid actually revealed their true feelings so obviously!
They even said his personality was meticulous and composed, just like the vice-captain. When did the vice-captain become so sweet-talking?!
Shen Ning was taken aback by the sudden praise, then smiled broadly at Song Qiying, her smile as radiant as a blooming peony, her voice warm and gentle: "Thank you, Qiying, let's add each other as friends."
Ouch!
"Okay, Qi Ying~"
The group of boys immediately erupted in cheers, teasing and shoving Song Qiying with playful smiles.
The 17-year-old boy blushed instantly, flustered but trying to remain calm, and looked to Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie for help.
Han Wenqing frowned and lightly scolded the group of lustful men, "Behave yourselves."
"Old Han, don't be so serious all the time. We finally have a girl here, don't scare her away again," Bai Yanfei said.
“That’s right.” Qin Muyun also boldly moved closer to Chen Ning. “My name is Qin Muyun. Can you add me as a friend, sister?”
Zheng Chengfeng nudged him with his elbow: "Sister? Qin Muyun, you've got some nerve!"
“I’m five years older than him, so it’s okay for me to call him ‘older sister’.”
After listening to their banter for a while, Shen Ning finally spoke again, still poised and dignified, without a hint of embarrassment. She turned to Song Qiying and said, "Adding you as a friend is mainly for the new season's promotion, not to tease you on purpose. Don't be angry."
Song Qiying was stunned for a moment, then, realizing what was happening, she put on a composed expression and said, "Okay."
“Alright, everyone add Chen Ning in a bit. Her name card has been sent to the group. She will be responsible for supporting some routine tasks later.” Zhang Xinjie said, glancing specifically at Zhang Jiale and adjusting his glasses, “For example, reimbursement receipts.”
Zhang Jiale casually touched the little braid at the back of his head and said in a carefree manner, "I'm counting on you from now on, sis!"
"What the hell? Are you going to make the girl cry again?"
Bai Yanfei asked a soul-searching question, and Zhang Jiale immediately changed his expression and kicked him.
While dodging, Bai Yanfei continued to sow discord: "Oh dear, you're getting angry out of embarrassment. Chen Ning, you'd better watch out!"
"Make him cry?"
What a dangerous word!
Confused, Shen Ning turned to ask Zhang Xinjie.
Zhang Xinjie didn't want to answer the question, but under Shen Ning's probing gaze, he mechanically opened his mouth: "Senior Zhang Jiale made the new female finance colleague work overtime until night to paste invoices for him until she cried."
Chen Ning: ...
Good heavens, that's really good heavens.
How many flaws are contained in just one sentence?
With a glimpse of his face, Han Wenqing's complexion was ashen, as if a snow mountain were about to collapse.
Looking at the group of people who were just jumping around happily, they were now like quails, saying they were going to train, but quickly scurried into the training room to get away from the avalanche crisis that could break out at any moment.
Well, Tyranny is quite lively.
Apart from the two people standing next to them.
Shen Ning reported on her work to her two meticulous superiors for half an hour before returning to her office to continue working.
As soon as I picked up my phone, I saw a string of friend requests. After accepting them one by one, the conversations came flooding in.
Zhang Jiale: Girl, what year were you born? Do you have a boyfriend?
Qin Muyun: Sister Chen Ning, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand.
Bai Yanfei: Shall we have lunch together? Our cafeteria has lots of meat!
Zheng Chengfeng: Go straight out the door, turn across the street, and there's a lounge where you can eat as many snacks, drinks, and popsicles as you like.
There were still a few people greeting each other, but Song Qiying was the only one who seriously started training.
After calmly replying with "Let's work first, we'll talk during our rest time," he immediately plunged into confirming and revising the publicity plan.
It was originally the summer break, and many people will be going home in a couple of days. There were no training sessions scheduled for today, so everyone here is free to do as they please. Those who want to train can train, and those who want to rest can rest.
With the exception of Song Qiying, almost everyone else was captivated by Shen Ning's arrival, especially Zhang Jiale.
He went back and immediately opened the Tencent app, eager to make those League of Legends players jealous.

A Dazzling Display: Just wait, I'll take a picture right now to dazzle your eyes.
After speaking, Zhang Jiale picked up his phone, carefully moved to a seat closer to the glass, squatted under the seat, and secretly pointed the camera at Chen Ning, who was working, through the glass.
My goodness, even her profile is so beautiful.
Zhang Jiale seized the opportunity and excitedly pressed the shutter. In that instant, Shen Ning sensed something and turned his head slightly to look over.
I happened to capture that fleeting glance between us, so natural and innocent.
Zhang Jiale was almost suffocating. Clutching her chest, she quickly forwarded the photo to the group chat and showered the group with endless compliments.
