Chapter 437 Qiuqiu joins the company, Xiaojing's brainstorming
Chapter 437 Qiuqiu joins the company, Xiaojing's thoughts
September 2023, 9, Thursday, cloudy, 7-19℃.
Zhuxi Community.
Cheng Qiuqiu woke up early from her sleep and just lay on her side on the bed, watching the dark sky outside the window gradually brighten.
Today is a very special day for her.
Joined Songmei Clothing Trading Co., Ltd.
Because of her cold personality, she seldom talks to her senior about her work.
I don't know much about this company, except that its headquarters is in Yunxi Building and it currently has more than 80 employees.
The popular anchor is He Yiyi, who became famous because of Bei Yuwei.
The company’s brand department had just been established and she was the first designer to join.
Overall, this is a live streaming e-commerce company with great development prospects, but it is not suitable for designers who want to make achievements in design.
For personal career development, it is far inferior to well-known companies in the industry such as Inspiration Design.
But she still changed jobs without any hesitation.
After checking the time, Cheng Qiuqiu got out of bed, changed into yoga clothes, and went to the living room to start practicing.
After a while.
"Squeak——" The door of the master bedroom was opened.
Gao Mengting came out in her pajamas, smiled and waved, "Good morning, Qiuqiu."
"Good morning, senior sister." Cheng Qiuqiu quickly stood up and looked at the senior sister who was in high spirits.
Ever since the senior sister kissed Tang Song in the car that day, she has been in a happy and excited state, and her whole face is radiant.
Gao Mengting walked briskly into the living room, looked at the sexy and beautiful school girl in front of her, and joked: "If you join our company, it will definitely make the male compatriots excited, and maybe even improve their work efficiency."
"Ah..." Cheng Qiuqiu looked a little unnatural, and whispered, "Senior sister, you are joking. It's not that exaggerated."
After teasing her schoolmate, Gao Mengting said with a smile, "By the way, do you want to go to the company with me later?"
Cheng Qiuqiu quickly shook her head, "No need, I can go by myself later."
"I knew you would say that. Come on, our company will never let you down. Okay, I'm going to cook, you continue."
Gao Mengting patted her shoulder, twisted her waist and walked towards the kitchen humming a song.
Breakfast was simple.
Omelet, kimchi, and oatmeal.
While eating, Gao Mengting talked to her about the company's specific design needs.
Hearing the word "Mr. Tang" come out of her mouth, Cheng Qiuqiu appeared calm on the surface, but her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
Until now, she has never told her senior about her acquaintance with Tang Song.
This is her personality. She doesn't know how to express many things, so she keeps them in her heart.
But then, it seemed like it would be exposed anyway.
"Ding-ling-ling——" The cell phone rang suddenly.
After looking at the incoming call information, Cheng Qiuqiu whispered, "It's Brother Junfeng."
"Oh, then you take it first." Gao Mengting nodded with a smile and picked up a piece of spicy cabbage with chopsticks.
Line connected.
Cheng Qiuqiu said softly: "Hey, Brother Junfeng, what's the matter?"
"Yes, I resigned from Inspiration Design the day before yesterday."
"Thank you, but no thanks. I've already made an appointment with Senior Meng Ting and will go to work in their company next."
"Really, no need. I will start work this morning."
...
"Okay, that's it, bye."
After hanging up the phone, noticing Gao Mengting's inquiring look, Cheng Qiuqiu explained: "Brother Junfeng heard that I resigned and wanted to help me find a job in the design department of Zhongcheng Group."
"Wow, Gao Junfeng is a good guy!" Gao Mengting shook her head and chuckled, "I heard from my classmates that he was spotted by the vice president of Zhongcheng Group during the campus recruitment and directly became his assistant. I have to say, good looks are still very advantageous."
She and Cheng Qiuqiu are three years apart, and they are from different colleges.
The reason why we met was because of Gao Junfeng.
This former "campus hunk" of Yancheng University was the child of Cheng Qiuqiu's neighbor in Chengdu. His mother had a very good relationship with Cheng Qiuqiu's mother.
At the same time, Gao Junfeng and Gao Mengting were students of the same class at Yancheng University. They had both served in the student union of the college and had a good relationship. After graduating from undergraduate studies, Gao Junfeng directly studied for a master's degree at the same university. Like Cheng Qiuqiu, they just graduated in June this year.
During college, Gao Junfeng took good care of Cheng Qiuqiu and often helped her find part-time jobs.
Gao Mengting’s “Meiting Discount Store” is one of them.
Cheng Qiuqiu drank a mouthful of porridge and said, "Well, Junfeng is doing really well now. He earns more than 10,000 yuan, and helps the group vice president to take charge of part of the group's food and beverage sector."
"That's great. I still remember you as my friend now that I'm rich. It seems like you guys haven't been in touch much since you graduated. I thought you guys broke up."
"No, it's just that he is very busy at work and often accompanies the vice president on business trips."
Hearing this, a strange idea popped up in Gao Mengting's mind.
It is said that the vice president is a middle-aged woman. She found such a handsome male assistant and often went on business trips with him. Could she be playing tricks on him?
Because Gao Junfeng was concerned about the vice president's opinion, he didn't dare to contact other beautiful girls.
Of course, this thought only flashed through her mind. It was purely a "despicable" idea that came to her subconsciously because she and Tang Song had played too much office flirtation.
After a moment's silence, Gao Mengting looked at her and said seriously, "Qiuqiu, if you really want to go to Zhongcheng Group, don't care about my opinion. It's okay."
Zhongcheng Group, with an estimated value of nearly 30 billion yuan, is a well-known industrial company in the province with three major business segments: food and beverage, textiles, and real estate.
Compared with such large enterprises, today's Songmei Clothing is still far behind.
Cheng Qiuqiu shook her head silently, "I don't want to go."
She knows her character.
In daily interactions, he seems a little cold towards his friends, let alone his colleagues.
During the months of inspiration design, she seemed to be on bad terms with everyone.
I always feel lonely and depressed at work.
Not to mention a large enterprise like Zhongcheng Group, it would definitely be even more uncomfortable inside.
"That's good." Gao Mengting said with a smile: "To be honest, I really don't want to part with talents like you. Our brand department is very important. With you joining, I will feel much more at ease."
"Thank you for your trust, I will work hard."
……
9 o'clock in the morning.
After putting on her makeup, Cheng Qiuqiu put on new clothes, stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself for a long time before putting on her backpack and leaving the house.
I took the bus at the door and after 30 minutes of swaying, I finally arrived outside Yunxi Building.
Looked at the time.
9: 41.
The agreed start time is 10 am.
Cheng Qiuqiu did not go up directly, but just stood in the lobby of the office building and waited quietly.
It was not until 9:55 that I checked in at the front desk and walked into the elevator.
I felt a lifting force coming from the soles of my feet and the floors were rising rapidly.
"Ding——" The elevator slowly stopped on the 30th floor.
In a prominent position directly opposite, there is a nameplate with the words "Songmei Clothing Trading Co., Ltd."
As she stepped out of the elevator, Cheng Qiuqiu's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
This feeling came suddenly, but was extremely strong.
Take a deep breath and calm your restless heart.
Cheng Qiuqiu tightened his face and walked towards the door.
The first thing that catches your eye is the spacious and bright front desk area with a simple and elegant design.
The company logo in lemon yellow is inlaid on the metal background wall.
Seeing the familiar "logo icon", Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes were slightly dazed.
She was taking a lunch break in the dormitory when she suddenly received a demand document from Gao Mengting.
At that time, she was about to graduate and was urgently looking for a rental house.
Because of fear, she didn't dare to rent a house alone, and didn't know who to share the house with.
So when she received this private job, she was particularly attentive, hoping to use this opportunity to get closer to Senior Mengting and ask if she could share a house with her.
This led to a series of stories that followed.
The girl at the front desk stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Cheng Qiuqiu quickly came to her senses and said politely, "I'm here to register for employment. My name is Cheng Qiuqiu."
"Okay, wait a moment!" The girl at the front desk quickly looked down at the documents, took out a piece of personal information, walked out of the reception desk, and said enthusiastically: "Let's go, Qiuqiu, I'll take you there."
"Thank you."
Walk on the thick, sound-silent carpet and pass through the spacious and bright corridor.
Cheng Qiuqiu looked around curiously, eyes full of astonishment.
The office environment is better than I imagined, without any of the cramped and simple environment that is common in start-ups.
Compared to the inspired designs she had worked on before, this was a downgrade.
As the two turned two corners in the office area, Cheng Qiuqiu realized belatedly that this entire floor was the office space of Songmei Clothing.
"Squeak..." The girl at the front desk pushed open the door of a small meeting room and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll call HR over."
"Ok."
Waited less than two minutes.
A girl in a business suit walked in and said with a smile on her face: "Hello Qiuqiu, I am Zhang Ying from the Human Resources Department. Welcome to join the Songmei family."
"Hello, thank you." Cheng Qiuqiu quickly bowed politely.
"Okay, sit down quickly. I've prepared your employment documents. Just sign your name. I'll first tell you about our company and your job description."
After all, he was the person personally arranged by President Gao, so Zhang Ying was very enthusiastic.
Soon, with Zhang Ying's clear voice, Cheng Qiuqiu completed the basic understanding of the company and his department.
The brand department has just been established and has 4 groups.
They are: Strategy Group, Brand Visual Group, Live Visual Group, and Content Middle Platform. She is the first employee of the Brand Visual Group and is responsible for the VI system and packaging design.
After she joins the company, another designer will be hired to work with her to complete the design tasks.
In other words, she is the junior supervisor of this group.
At the same time, the company will also sign an art director from a 4A company (Nebula International) as a flight consultant to help them complete their work better.
Then she got her employment contract.
The position is indeed the team leader of the brand vision group, with a monthly salary of 1 yuan, additional performance bonuses, six insurances and one fund, paid sick leave, annual leave, overtime leave, etc. The benefits are very complete.
Compared to Inspiration Design, this place feels more like a formal large company.
The salary she was offered was also unusually high, so high that it even made her a little nervous.
After completing the onboarding procedures in a daze and receiving her work badge and labor contract, Cheng Qiuqiu was taken to the office area where the brand department was located.
Zhang Ying said with a smile: "Hello, handsome guys and beautiful girls, let us warmly welcome our new classmate in the department, the beautiful designer... Cheng Qiuqiu!"
Immediately afterwards, other colleagues in the brand department stood up and applauded enthusiastically in welcome.
"Finally, our department has a good-looking guy!"
"Hello Qiuqiu, I'm Sun Yixuan, the copywriter of the content center."
...
Everyone had a relaxed smile on their face, and from time to time they were teasing and playing with each other.
Spacious and bright office area, energetic staff, exquisite desks and chairs, fresh green plants, brightly colored pillows…
This is a vibrant enterprise with a comfortable and warm atmosphere.
Cheng Qiuqiu finally understood why her senior's eyes would sparkle every time she talked about Songmei Clothing.
Even she would be deeply moved if she were in it.
After greeting her colleagues with an unnatural expression, Cheng Qiuqiu sat down at her workstation, turned on her computer and began to install the necessary software. However, her eyes occasionally drifted into the corridor, as if she was waiting for something.
11:20 am.
My colleague Sun Yixuan came over and whispered, "Qiuqiu, do you want to order takeout with us at noon? Our company has a group ordering service, and the price is very favorable."
Cheng Qiuqiu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, let's go together."
"OK, I'll add you to the WeChat group. There's a menu in there, and you can just follow along."
"Thank you."
"Hey, why are you so polite? We are all colleagues."
At this moment, a girl at the workstation behind him let out a low scream: "Ah! The male god has come out of confinement and is walking towards this side from the direction of the office!"
Then, several girls popped their heads out and looked towards the corner of the corridor.
Sun Yixuan looked at the dazed Cheng Qiuqiu and explained with a smile: "Weiwei is talking about the president of our company. You will know when you see you later. He is super handsome, especially when he smiles. Since coming to our company, seeing our president's smile, I have become more comfortable when I poop!"
Hearing her words, Cheng Qiuqiu suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the mouse.
From today on, she will work in the same company with Tang Song and will run into him often.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Tang!" Someone shouted in the office area.
Cheng Qiuqiu subconsciously glanced in that direction, then immediately lowered her head and pretended to work seriously.
At a quick glance, the tall figure seemed clearer.
"Mr. Tang." "Good afternoon, Mr. Tang." From time to time, I could hear the voice of someone greeting me, getting closer and closer.
Gradually, his figure vaguely appeared in the peripheral vision.
My heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate uncontrollably.
Will he recognize me? What will he say? What should I say? What should I do?
The intense psychological struggle made time pass very slowly.
"Qiuqiu?"
A surprised voice was heard, Cheng Qiuqiu's hand trembled suddenly, and he slowly stood up from his seat.
She turned around and looked at Tang Song, who was only two or three meters away from her.
He was wearing a well-ironed suit, had handsome features, and his lips were clearly defined under his high nose bridge.
He really stands out, like a young and promising company president who walked out of a workplace drama.
Cheng Qiuqiu's face remained calm and indifferent, and she whispered, "Hello, Mr. Tang."
Tang Song raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the sexy and beautiful Qiu Qiu in front of him, and asked in surprise: "Are you a new employee?"
"Yeah." Cheng Qiuqiu nodded, her lips tightly pursed, her face expressionless, she was too nervous to speak.
But to others, he seemed very cold and arrogant.
Tang Song glanced at everyone in the brand department, his eyes flashing slightly.
A new employee in the brand department, a designer, Gao Mengting’s junior, and the designer of the company’s LOGO.
He had heard Gao Mengting say before that her junior schoolmate had a rather cold personality and was quite averse to contact with strange men, so she had not invited him to visit Zhuyuan Community for a long time.
Oh it's you!
I have to say, they really have a connection.
Looking at Cheng Qiuqiu's exquisite queen face, Tang Song smiled brightly and took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Welcome to Songmei Clothing! It's a real surprise for me that you can join us."
Cheng Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his right hand.
When my fingers touched his warm and delicate palm, an electric current passed through my skin, making me feel numb and tingling.
When their eyes met, Cheng Qiuqiu's face flushed slightly and she looked away with an unnatural expression.
Letting go of her hand, Tang Song said softly, "Get familiar with the environment first, and come to my office this afternoon, and we'll talk about the design of the visual recognition system."
"Okay." Cheng Qiuqiu nodded.
As she watched Tang Song's figure disappear, her heart beat faster and faster.
……
Imperial Capital, Smile Holdings Headquarters Building.
"Buzzing—"
【Qingqing: "Did he really hit you hard? How hard?"】
Xiao Jing replied with a smile: "Of course, my butt is swollen, I can only sleep on my stomach. He also hits other places, such as my private parts."
【Qingqing: “(ω)! Isn’t that too much?”】
Xiao Jing: "But it's really comfortable. I plan to try using a belt next time. I should have more new experiences. I will definitely share them with Boss Qingqing then."
【Qingqing: "Ah! Xiaojing, you can't do this! If he develops a strange hobby in the future, aren't you afraid of being beaten and sent to the hospital?"】
Xiao Jing rolled her eyes and typed with sparkling eyes: "It's possible now that you put it that way, but I found that my boyfriend seems to have other girlfriends, so I will ask him to find other people to help me share the burden. I heard that there are many people in the cosplayer circle who have this hobby, I wonder if there are any girls like this among my boyfriend's other girlfriends, and then maybe I can teach her a lesson together with him."
After sending the message, Qingqing didn't reply yet.
Xiao Jing leaned back in her chair and chuckled softly.
This morning, Qingqing suddenly contacted her on WeChat.
After asking a bunch of random questions, I started asking her about the spanking.
She was so clever that she was able to extract some useful information in just a few words.
Qingqing is going to be spanked! She is very scared now!
This discovery made her a little jealous, and she couldn't help but start teasing her.
In fact, Tang Song is still very gentle and never willing to use any real force. This is also her biggest worry at the moment.
However, she still feels a sense of accomplishment when she sees her boyfriend becoming a little bit "perverted" under her "training".
I should be able to return to Yancheng next week and play games with Brother Tang Song again.
Thinking of those strange scenes, Xiao Jing felt her whole body getting hot, and her legs wrapped in stockings were rubbing gently.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Xiao Jing immediately sat up straight, turned around and said, "Assistant Shangguan, you're here."
Shangguan Qiuya nodded gently, "It's almost noon, let's go eat together."
"Okay!" Xiaojing quickly stood up and stood beside her obediently.
The two walked out of the office area and took the elevator to the company cafeteria on the 5th floor. Shangguan Qiuya took her directly into a private room.
There are already a lot of delicious food on the table.
"Thank you, Sister Shangguan. I'm taking advantage of you again." Xiaojing smiled embarrassedly.
The cafeteria boxes of Smile Holdings are generally only enjoyed by senior executives.
As a middle-level manager in a holding company, the fact that she was able to come in was entirely due to Shangguan Qiuya's special care.
Shangguan Qiuya smiled and gestured, "You're welcome, sit down and eat."
"Uh-huh."
The two sat down and chatted while eating the delicious food.
When talking about Tang Song, Shangguan Qiuya suddenly asked, "Xiao Jing, you have been away from Yancheng for so long, have you ever worried that your boyfriend will cheat on you?"
Xiao Jing said innocently, "No? Why should I worry about this?"
"From what you've described, your boyfriend is very outstanding and handsome, and very popular with girls, so isn't this something you should be worried about?"
Xiao Jing put down her chopsticks and whispered, "Sister Shangguan, in fact, my boyfriend has other women besides me. I have always known this."
"Oh?" Shangguan Qiuya looked at her deeply, and said with a smile: "Then what do you think of the other women around him?"
Although they had not been in contact for a long time, she knew very well that Tian Jing only looked simple on the surface, but actually knew everything.
"Well..." Xiao Jing blinked, "It feels very interesting, like a plot in an anime. I'm looking forward to how it will develop next."
"Uh..." Shangguan Qiuya was stunned, unable to follow her train of thought.
After glancing at Shangguan Qiuya opposite her, Xiaojing lowered her head and continued eating.
She discovered from the very beginning that Sister Shangguan was extraordinarily kind to her.
This has far exceeded the ordinary relationship between colleagues, not to mention that the other party has such a noble status. The status of the two in the company is completely unequal, and she cannot provide any benefits to the other party.
Her biggest support, her father who is worth nearly 10 billion, is actually just a nobody in front of the other party.
And this Sister Shangguan is not a lesbian.
All these abnormal behaviors aroused Xiaojing's vigilance, and she definitely had something the other party wanted.
This confusion was gradually resolved until they started talking about the Tang and Song dynasties.
Although there was no direct evidence, she had a strong intuition that Shangguan Qiuya was so good to her because of Tang Song!
Looking at the elegant and dignified Shangguan Qiuya opposite her, Xiaojing's eyes flickered with a barely perceptible excitement.
As far as she knew, Tang Song had worked at Meigou Technology for three years, and Shangguan Qiuya had served on the board of directors of Meigou Technology on behalf of Director Jin.
Is there something fishy going on between the two of them?
