In the afternoon, the two of them discussed again and finally came up with a new plan.
After finalizing the plan, they wanted to discuss it with Jenny, but they didn’t expect him to have already left work.
Jin Nian and He Ming were utterly speechless.
After all, Whale was a large company. Not to mention anything else, just the working atmosphere alone was vastly different from ordinary companies. The benefits were excellent. Now, it was already the end of the workday. Except for a few special departments, everyone had left work. There was no overtime to be found.
Hence, the company employees were quite optimistic. Even though they joked privately about the boss, they weren’t reprimanded for it. All was harmonious and joyful.
After they handled matters, it was already dark.
Jin Nian glanced at her phone and was surprised to see that it was nearly nine o’clock.
He Ming, whether in work or life, always remained optimistic. Seeing Jin Nian’s lack of enthusiasm, he consoled her, “Just relax a bit. It’s after work hours now, so don’t dwell on the unpleasantness of work. Let’s wait for news from here tomorrow. We don’t know if the new plan will be approved.”
Thinking about that guy, He Ming couldn’t help but want to complain. However, it was useless to think about it, so he refrained from saying more.
Jin Nian nodded. After parting ways, she thought she still had some time. Why not take this time to relax? She called Qiao Ranran, suggesting they hang out together to forget about the unpleasantness of work.
Qiao Ranran readily agreed.
Not long after, Qiao Ranran arrived. Seeing that Jin Nian seemed off today, she inquired about what was going on.
Jin Nian explained to Qiao Ranran what happened today. “I’ve never encountered someone so unreasonable. 1 even overheard company employees calling the boss a “Fire Dragon”. Seems he’s not easy to deal with.”
Qiao Ranran couldn’t help but suppress a laugh. “Is that for real?”
“Yeah, it’s a nickname the employees have given the boss in private.”
“Did you run into him? If you’d known beforehand, you should’ve steered clear to avoid any trouble.”
Jin Nian nodded. “I get it. If I knew that I would encounter him, 1 would have stayed away.”
After skirting the heavy topic, Qiao Ranran felt a bit melancholic and complained about wanting to lose weight. She had come out without eating dinner, thinking that if she managed to lose some weight, it wouldn’t be in vain.
Jin Nian knew about Qiao Ranran’s persistence and only comforted her.
They passed by a restaurant that Qiao Ranran strongly recommended. She had been ordering from this restaurant because the food was delicious.
Thinking that it wouldn’t affect their weight to drink some fruit tea even though they didn’t eat dinner, the two of them ordered a cup of milk tea.
“By the way, isn’t Lu An coming to pick you up?” Qiao Ranran asked.
“He’s been quite busy lately. I called him this afternoon and found out he’s on a business trip to B City.”
“No wonder you invited me out today. So, the man isn’t around…” Qiao Ranran chuckled lightly.
Jin Nian playfully pouted, “Why bring that up? Have you forgotten how many times you stood me up before because of guys?”
Qiao Ranran laughed. “What do you know? I’m seeking inspiration!”
“Alright, alright, alright. Seeking inspiration…” Jin Nian paused, then realized, “Wait a minute! Did you use me in a story?”
“Great guess, just as expected of Jin Nian!”
“Fine, remember to calculate my share of the copyright fees.”
Qiao Ranran was an online writer, someone who enjoyed reading romance novels. Unintentionally, she turned her hobby into a profession. Her income was decent enough to cover daily expenses.
Jin Nian occasionally read her work, but she had never been drawn to romance novels. Consequently, she only managed to read a few chapters before losing interest.
“By the way, I just remembered I haven’t prepared a wedding gift for you and Lu An!”
Jin Nian initially declined. “Not necessary. What gift do we need for our kind of relationship?”
“No, that won’t do. You said it yourself, it’s our relationship. How can we not exchange gifts?”
“Okay, I’ll accept your kind offer.”
“I recall a nice store.” Qiao Ranran said, taking Jin Nian’s hand and heading forward.
“Where are we going?”
Qiao Ranran pretended to be mysterious, avoiding a direct answer.
The two of them arrived on a different street. One shop had a peculiar decoration style, exuding an air of mystique.
To Jin Nian’s surprise, Qiao Ranran led her directly to that shop.
Though the shop wasn’t small, there were few customers. Upon asking, Jin Nian learned that it was a self-operated store, and the merchandise sold… naturally, nobody was currently attending to sales.
As soon as they arrived, they noticed a young couple finishing their purchase and preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Jin Nian turned to leave.
If it weren’t for Qiao Ranran bringing her here today, she would have hastened her pace and left whenever she encountered such a situation, let alone enter the shop.
“Jin Nian, where are you going? It’s just the two of us now.”
“Why did you bring me to a place like this? No, I’m leaving!” Jin Nian’s face had turned red..
