The people in Shuiyue Tingyuan are slacking off, while others are working diligently.
On Monday, Manager Li returned to the company after her vacation, and the first thing she faced was assigning work to the new recruit in the game department, Si Yaoxue.
"You're responsible for contacting the project team and the company headquarters, conveying messages between the two sides, and assisting the person in charge with details," Si Yaoxue looked at the manual Li Yue gave her, "Sounds important."
"Well, it is important, I suppose," Li Yue said, "But there might be quite a bit to do, so it could get busy."
Si Yaoxue smiled lightly: "That's good."
She wouldn't want to come if there wasn't much to do.
"That's great, but you need to pay attention to a few things," Li Yue suddenly lowered her voice, "The last page of the manual."
Si Yaoxue looked as instructed and saw a line of small print.
[Regarding all funds for this project, as well as other investments, it is absolutely forbidden to discuss with anyone, and must not be disclosed.]
A confidentiality clause, which is quite normal. However, after looking at it a few times, Si Yaoxue had a question in her mind.
"Manager Li, who does 'other people' refer to?"
"Everyone," Li Yue said, "Including you and me; we won't discuss related issues."
In fact, Si Yaoxue wouldn't be responsible for accounting or financial reports, so she wouldn't know the specific financial input for the project. But she would come across many details, and over time, with a little thought, she could roughly guess the amount invested.
That's why Li Yue specifically wrote this point in the manual.
"Then, what about the project leader?" Si Yaoxue asked.
Li Yue gave her a mysterious look: "Don't ask, and don't discuss; just remember that."
"…Alright."
Although she didn't know why, it seemed quite important.
"Ah," Li Yue suddenly sighed softly, "Originally, this work was my responsibility, but since you're here, I'll hand it over to you. Don't let me down."
This important task, which involved communication between the company and the project team, and assisting Bai Ningning, was originally Li Yue's responsibility. But unfortunately, Li Yue's track record was quite embarrassing.
When she first met Bai Ningning, she was almost provoked into revealing everything.
During the establishment of the project team, she nearly exposed the secret of the funding. Later, to cover up this mistake, she even directly brought in Luo.
What could she do? With such an embarrassing record, she was really not suitable to continue. She couldn't tell Qin Yue that it wasn't her fault; anyone in her position would have the same outcome.
Hopefully, this intern can complete the task in her place.
So, in the following days, Si Yaoxue began to organize things and officially started working. She quickly learned that the project team leader was Secretary Bai, the one with a large chest and fair legs, Mrs. Qin.
It didn't matter; anyway, Bai Ningning didn't handle the matters, and the specific tasks were done by the employees, so it made no difference to Si Yaoxue.
However, important occasions still needed to be communicated to her, such as the first departmental meeting scheduled for this weekend. After the meeting, the project would officially commence.
For such an important occasion, Bai Ningning had to be present.
Si Yaoxue asked Qin Xin for Bai Ningning's class schedule and studied when she would be free.
...
"Sit, just sit here."
Lingyin pulled Bai Ningning to sit in the first room of the activity center and opened the fridge: "What do you want to eat or drink?"
"No need, just give me a box of milk," Bai Ningning said.
Lingyin took out a box of nutritional milk: "You're already so grown up, and you're still insisting on drinking milk."
"Yeah," Bai Ningning took the milk and said lightly, "My girlfriend likes the taste of milk."
Lingyin: "..."
Her feelings were a bit complicated.
Bai Ningning bit the straw and looked towards the inner room, hearing a lot of voices inside, as if many people were talking.
"What is today's club activity? What are they talking about in there?"
Lingyin hadn't come back to her senses yet, and after a while, she finally realized: "Oh, they are discussing things. Today is a free activity, but they have things to say. We can do other things."
"What are they discussing?" Bai Ningning didn't catch the second half of the sentence.
"How to put it, it's more or less discussing the club activities," Lingyin smiled and made a nesting doll gesture, "I asked them what they plan to do this semester."
Bai Ningning tilted her head: "And then?"
"The video production department wants to participate in a recent fan creation event for a mobile game on Bilibili, and the game department wants to join a college competition hosted by a certain game," Lingyin said, "Others want to go to a comic convention."
Bai Ningning curled her lips: "There are quite a few differences. What are you planning?"
"I want them all," Lingyin confidently leaned back in her chair, "The activities don't completely conflict in timing, so we can do them one by one. Those who want to participate in competitions can do so, and the others can be spectators, trying to get as many people involved in each activity as possible. Right now, they are discussing the selection of participants and scheduling."
I see, impressive, Lingyin.
Bai Ningning threw an appreciative glance over.
"Anyway, they discussed this matter today, so we can do something else," Lingyin suddenly fidgeted and rubbed her hands, "Other club activities."
"We?" Bai Ningning tilted her head again, "Just the two of us?"
"Yes, it seems it's definitely just the two of us. Anyway, anyway," Lingyin averted her gaze, her voice becoming hesitant, "The thing we didn't finish last time should find an opportunity to continue."
Bai Ningning thought for a long time before realizing she was probably talking about dancing to anime songs.
Last time in the dance studio, she had fully showcased her talent for learning, and the song "Peach Blossom Love Song" was about to become a masterpiece, but Lingyin had urgently called it off, saying it wasn't suitable to dance in public.
"Did you find a private place?" she asked.
Lingyin's pretty face flushed slightly, thinking to herself that of course she found one, it was her home. Her home was quite spacious, and it wasn't far away, so she would definitely make it back in time at night. Even if she didn't, it would be fine; if they got tired from dancing, they could just sleep there...
"Um, do you want to come to my..."
Knock, knock, knock.
Lingyin mustered her courage and was about to say it when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it!" she shouted angrily.
"Sorry, may I ask if Miss Bai Ningning is inside?"
A very pleasant female voice, and it seemed somewhat familiar, but Bai Ningning couldn't remember who it was.
Lingyin walked over and opened the door, only to see a super beautiful girl standing at the door in a white-collar work outfit.
Lingyin was stunned: "Are you here to find Bai Ningning?"
What's going on, another beauty?
Bai Ningning recognized her at a glance: "You are... Miss Si?"
Si Youxue, the girl who was beautiful and had a pleasant voice; she had always remembered her.
