Chapter 1117: Chapter 438: (Thanks to the Ice Wind Valley Silver Alliance Hierarch) _3
Tang Song glanced at Cheng Qiuyu, and she bit her lip, extending her hand once more.
As their palms touched, a spark occurred again.
This time, it was just the two of them.
The sensation was especially intense for her, causing her to shudder.
Releasing Cheng Qiuyu’s delicate and warm hand, Tang Song leaned back against the sofa armrest.
He began discussing matters of the brand department and the company with her.
Cheng Qiuyu, who wasn’t good with words, simply sat there listening, occasionally responding with an "Mm".
When the conversation touched on design topics, she would chime in with her own views.
Soon, the conversation ended, and the office fell silent.
Cheng Qiuyu clenched her hands nervously, wanting to chat with him but not knowing how to start.
Only when talking about Su Yu would she become eloquent.
But this was the company, and she couldn’t discuss female stars with President Tang, could she?
Noticing her awkwardness.
Tang Song raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "I say, QQ, you have always been a high-cold Mature Lady in my eyes, both beautiful and striking. Why the sudden unease today?"
"Uh!" Cheng Qiuyu’s face turned beet red immediately, "I... I... am not."
Hearing Tang Song’s compliment made her head swirl, for some reason.
Tang Song gently patted her head, "I’m heading downstairs for a coffee. Would you like me to bring you one?"
Ever since He Liting became a popular streamer, there hasn’t been any coffee available daily.
Too lazy to use the coffee machine himself, he took the chance to stroll downstairs and have a coffee during afternoon tea time, finding it quite enjoyable.
"No, thank you, President Tang." Cheng Qiuyu hurriedly shook her head.
"Alright then, for now, take your time to get familiar with the company and your colleagues since it’s your first day. If you have any questions, you can look for me or Mengting."
"Mm." Cheng Qiuyu stood up and walked out with her head lowered.
Tang Song’s words, "both beautiful and striking," echoed in her mind.
She walked along the corridor for a while.
A young man came rushing out from the corner.
Noticing Cheng Qiuyu’s figure, the young man quickly halted his steps, staggering slightly and almost falling. The folder in his hand dropped at her feet.
"I’m sorry! So sorry!" the young man apologized hastily.
"It’s okay." Cheng Qiuyu responded with a blank expression, squatting down to help pick up the documents.
"Thank you, thank you! I’m Sun Youguang from the finance department. Are you the new colleague?"
Cheng Qiuyu replied politely, "Hello, I am Cheng Qiuyu, a designer in the brand department. I just joined today."
"Hello, hello."
Watching her leave, Sun Youguang let out a long breath. This new colleague seemed aloof, but actually quite nice.
He walked into the finance office.
Handing the documents to Zhang Chunling, the supervisor, Sun Youguang said quietly, "Sister Zhang, I have something to do and need to step out for a bit. I’ll be back soon."
"Mm, alright."
Songmei Clothing’s management wasn’t strict; temporary errands during work hours were allowed, as long as they didn’t exceed an hour, no need for leave.
Sun Youguang said his goodbye and hurried out.
While waiting for the elevator, he couldn’t help but sigh.
His girlfriend, Li Juan, had been unemployed for three days, and today she finally had an interview opportunity at a company just across the street at Baoyun Center.
Even though it was a small company with ordinary benefits, given the current environment and the accounting position, it was considered a decent job.
If Li Juan could get the offer, they could commute together every day and even rent a place nearby.
No more commuting forty to fifty minutes by bus then subway.
However, reality was often less than ideal.
At this afternoon’s interview, there were six people on site for the same position.
They queued from 1 pm until after 3 pm, only for the interview to last over ten minutes before being passed over.
Watching the elevator descend slowly, Sun Youguang’s mood grew more complex.
He could imagine how upset his girlfriend must be right now.
As a man, he wished he could shoulder the financial burden, but at least for now, it wasn’t possible.
"Ding——" The elevator stopped slowly at the first floor.
Sun Youguang quickly dashed out, swiping his badge to open the door.
In the office building’s lobby, he saw his girlfriend standing quietly in the corner.
Wearing a shirt, jeans, and sneakers, she looked ordinary, yet to him, she was particularly adorable.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Youguang slowed his steps, trying to appear composed.
"Juan’er! Over here!"
Li Juan quickly lifted her head, hurriedly coming over, holding her boyfriend’s hand, "I’m sorry dear, I let you down."
On her face was a look of disappointment and awkwardness, as if she had done something wrong.
Sun Youguang felt a pang in his heart, quickly comforting her, "That company wasn’t great anyway, no social security fund. I didn’t want you to go there in the first place; consider it practice for interviews."
"But..." Li Juan bit her lip, "I have very few interview opportunities now, and slightly larger companies don’t even consider me."
"Oh, it’s mainly because it’s not long after graduation for university students, competition is fierce. Let’s not rush; we’ll find something suitable eventually." Sun Youguang pointed to the coffee shop in the lobby, "Come on, the croissants here are really good. I’ve always wanted to treat you, and today is the day."
Li Juan whispered, "Won’t it interrupt your work? If you’re busy, you can go back to the office, it’s okay."
Her boyfriend’s job was very important, and she didn’t want to interfere because of her issues.
"It’s really fine, let’s go." With that, Sun Youguang led his girlfriend towards the café.
At the checkout counter, seeing the high prices, Li Juan tugged at his hand, hinting with her eyes.
