Chapter 111 Business Trip
"I still hope that the company won't know about our relationship, so as to avoid any gossip. Life is life and work is work, and I hope you can keep the distinction clear."
This is what Xiao Jingyan said to Lin Nuan after returning home from work on the first day.
The fact that two people live together must not be known to people in the company, otherwise those gossips might affect the entire lives of both of them.
Lin Nuan naturally knew the power of gossip and agreed very happily. This was also what she wanted in her heart. However, now that their relationship had changed and they were living together, it was inevitable that they felt a little awkward.
However, public is public and private is private, and people say that they should be separated. That is identity playing, different identities at different times, so there is nothing to worry about.
After a few days, Lin Nuan gradually became familiar with the work required of the position of assistant to the general manager. It was nothing more than arranging the itinerary according to the boss's instructions, serving tea and running errands, and being a follower. She was not so free in terms of working hours. There was no way for her to go home after finishing her work like other colleagues. Now that the boss did not allow overtime, she, as an assistant, of course had to advance and retreat with the boss, so naturally she could not go home.
Although he is a lazy person, he now has to work diligently. The only benefit is that his salary has increased.
Even for a few pieces of silver, I had to bend down.
"I'm going to Haicheng on a business trip tomorrow. You can come with me and book the two earliest tickets."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao."
She had never had the chance to go on a business trip at public expense before.
Think about it, she and Shen Baozhu had originally agreed to go to the temple to fulfill a vow this weekend, but now it seems that it will have to be postponed again.
According to Shen Baozhu, after she fell into a coma, they could not find out the cause, and they tried every method but she just couldn't wake up.
Shen Baozhu didn't know where she heard it from, but it was said that she might have received a huge shock when she fell down the mountain and lost her soul. She needed to go to the temple to pray and ask the gods for help. Maybe she could turn the danger into safety and wake up.
Shen Baozhu also held the mentality of trying everything possible, so she really went to a temple to pray, and also drew a fortune stick for him, which was a good one.
There is a reason for going to the temple to pray. If your wish is really fulfilled, you have to go to the temple to fulfill it. Now that Lin Nuan has woken up, it means that Shen Baozhu's prayers were successful and her wish was fulfilled, so she needs to go to the temple to fulfill her wish.
Lin Nuan didn’t believe in these things before, but after waking up, she now believes that it is better to believe in the existence of ghosts and gods than not to believe in their existence.
There was also a little more awe in my heart.
But work is important, so I have to postpone it for now. If I can't go this weekend, I'll go next weekend.
After receiving the notice of the business trip, he greeted Shen Baozhu and agreed on the next meeting time.
Lin Nuan checked online and found out that the earliest flight tomorrow was at seven in the morning. Since they were on a business trip, they would be able to get off work on time this time.
He packed his things before getting off work and prepared to rush out as soon as get off work ended. It was the rush hour after work, and the bus was extremely crowded, and he had to change buses in the middle of the journey. He usually took the subway, and it only took him half an hour to get home from the company.
In the last minute before getting off work, Lin Nuan stared at the time on her phone, not wanting to stay in the company for even a second. As a result, just as she stood up from her seat, the intercom on her desk rang.
But my boss said I don’t have to work overtime, so I should go back early to pack my things so we can go on a business trip together tomorrow.
The timing is too accurate. Calling at this time will not mean that I will be asked to work overtime again!
No matter what she thought, she answered the phone immediately.
"Mr. Xiao."
"My car is in the underground parking lot. You can take my car back later."
In the past, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Jingyan never asked her to ride in his car after get off work, unless they were working overtime together and would go home together very late.
He is also a boss who understands his subordinates.
If you think about it, the two of them are now close working partners and often go in and out of the company together. Even if they see it now, it's actually nothing and there won't be any gossip. The two of them have always been businesslike. Besides, the assistant of that company is always waiting at the boss's beck and call.
Who would want to take the bus or subway when you can take a spacious and comfortable car back home? Most importantly, you can save some transportation fees. Of course, Lin Nuan agreed immediately.
The more open and honest two people are, the less problems there will be.
Just as the call was hung up, Xiao Jingyan also walked out of the office. Lin Nuan trotted after him without saying a word.
It was Lin Nuan’s first time to fly in business class and enjoy high-standard treatment. The slight dissatisfaction in her heart about the business trip disappeared completely.
Originally, she booked a business class ticket for Xiao Jingyan and an economy class ticket for herself. After Xiao Jingyan found out, he directly upgraded her class, which was a good deal for her.
After observing for a period of time, she had to admit that Xiao Jingyan was indeed excellent. It would be difficult for a leader like him who was parachuted in without his own confidants to win the support of the people.
But his work ability was unquestionable. He quickly took control of the company's situation, clearly defined rewards and punishments, and had no intention of forming cliques. The atmosphere in the company improved a lot.
Their company is a film and television company.
The purpose of this business trip was to discuss the film and television adaptation of a novel, and it was necessary to purchase the copyright of the novel.
According to the information previously checked, the author of the novel is also one of the founders of a game company. His novel has been serialized into comics, and even a new game from their company uses his novel as the background for the plot. It can be said that it is extremely popular now, and many film and television companies are eyeing it and want to buy the copyright of the novel.
After arriving in Haicheng and getting off the plane, the first thing I did was to go to the booked hotel to put my luggage. After a little packing, I went to the meeting place where I had agreed to meet the novel author, which was his game company.
The game company is not big, but it is full of a high-tech feel.
Lin Nuan had read some novels before coming here. The author's pen name was Lang Xiaoyao.
When I first saw it, I thought he was a not very serious author, but the novels he wrote are really good. I read it all the way on the plane and still felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to finish it in one go.
Often the characters in novels carry the author's personality, and Lin Nuan was quite curious about what kind of person Lang Xiaoyao was.
"Mr. Xiao, have you contacted Lang Xiaoyao? Does he intend to sign the copyright to our company?"
"No, I contacted his manager. Lang Xiaoyao has never made his personal information public. I heard that several companies came before but were unable to meet him. I am not 100% sure this time."
