Free Web NovelChapter 626: Chapter 231: Jianglan Store Grand Opening, the Boss Comes to Congratulate!
That night, Su Zelin stayed over at Song Yuwei’s new apartment.
On the first day in a new environment, he had to be there with her.
Anyway, there’s no need to go to school, and the schedule is quite free. It’s not uncommon for him not to return to the dorm, so his roommates are used to it.
Originally, he used work convenience as an excuse to say he rented a place outside.
Perhaps it was because of Su Zelin’s promise, Song MM was particularly enthusiastic that night, showcasing her singing, playing, and dancing skills one after another. After being trained by Su Zelin for so long, she had become quite the talented lady.
In the early morning, when he opened his eyes,
Song MM was still curled up in his arms like a Persian cat, sleeping soundly.
Her complexion was rosy, breathing even, her soft chest lightly rising and falling, and her silky skin appeared especially fair in the morning light.
She was sleeping deeply in her dreams, her cherry lips slightly parted, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, dreaming of something unknown.
Song MM’s delicate head was resting on his arm, and Su Zelin didn’t have the heart to wake her, so he let her rest that way until the alarm rang, disturbing her sweet dreams, making her open her eyes.
She wanted to sleep a little longer, but she had to go to work later.
Once at the headquarters, it’s not as free as being a store manager, and she has to punch the clock every day.
"Good morning, boss!"
Her almond-shaped eyes still held a hint of drowsiness. After stopping the alarm, Song Yuwei coquettishly pulled Su Zelin’s hand to her waist, snuggling in her man’s broad and warm embrace for another quarter of an hour, enjoying the intimacy of the peaceful morning between them, before reluctantly getting up.
Time was running short before work, so after washing up, she made a simple breakfast consisting of milk, cereal, and boiled eggs, focusing on nutritional supplementation, and then the two went to the company.
"Good morning, President Su, Assistant Song!"
As Su Zelin and Song Yuwei walked through the entrance together, the receptionist Zhang Yuying quickly greeted them.
"Morning!" freёwebnovel.com
Su Zelin just nodded towards the receptionist.
It’s not that he’s aloof or putting on airs.
His position in the company is quite high. Except for Yang Fen and Kang Baohong, almost anyone he encounters greets him first. He doesn’t have the time to respond enthusiastically to everyone.
"Yuying, good morning to you too!"
Song Yuwei’s response was much more lively.
Then she added, "We bumped into each other on the way here, hehe." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
As they watched the two leave the reception area and walk towards the office side by side, Zhang Yuying couldn’t help but murmur to herself.
They say it was a chance encounter, but why does it feel like President Su and Assistant Song are like a couple, and Assistant Song seems to look at him differently?
Is it just my imagination?
He stayed at the company until noon when the phone rang.
It was a call from his dad.
"Son, our store is officially opening this Saturday. See if you have time to come back."
Unlike Zhao Lixia, who likes to ramble, Su Jianjun got straight to the point.
"Oh, it’s opening!"
Talking about the family store, from approval to opening, it took quite a while, more than two months. First, because the investment and scale were not small, and second, because the design and decoration were meticulously refined, every aspect was carefully done.
But, as the saying goes, sharpening the axe doesn’t delay the task of chopping wood. The preparation work beforehand was very important, so spending more time was worthwhile.
For the opening of the family’s franchise store, especially when it was done in cooperation with the Qin family, such an important event definitely required him to be there. Whether it was for being a son of the Su family or as the operations director of New Century Digital, he had to show up for the event.
So without thinking, Su Zelin said, "Sure, Dad, I’ll be back Friday night!"
"Haha, good. By the way, if you’re driving back, take Shiqing with you. Uncle Qin asked her, and she’s fine with it."
"Okay, got it."
"..."
Saturday morning, at Jianglan.
"Huh, why is there a New Century Digital here? Isn’t it a franchise from Lin’an? It’s opened here in Jianglan?"
"Yes, yes, you can often see it on TV and newspapers. I heard that in this kind of store, you can play with the computers and phones first. There are lots of demo units!"
"That’s great. When I buy phones elsewhere, some salespeople get impatient after a while, as if you can’t afford it."
"Didn’t they say there was a college student who became an executive in this company? He’s from Jianglan. I heard his family opened this store."
"Yes, yes, I heard about this college student. He was the top English scorer in the college entrance exam a few years ago. He’s not even graduated yet, and he’s already a leader in a big company, driving a small car home during holidays!"
"This college student is called Su Zelin. I heard that when he was in school, he wasn’t very good. He didn’t focus on studying much, was even a bit of a delinquent. Who could have thought he’d do so well in college!"
"That’s how life is, thirty years east, thirty years west. I also had some classmates back then who were always violating school rules and getting reported. But their brains were sharp, and they were daring. Now they’ve become bosses, donating quite a bit every time there’s an anniversary at our alma mater, becoming honored guests!"
"Looks like this New Era franchise can make money, otherwise this college student wouldn’t let his family open one."
"..."
The townsfolk liked to see the excitement. As New Century was about to open, they set up a stage at the entrance for performances, attracting a lot of attention. A group of onlookers was buzzing with gossip.
Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing both had joyful expressions. Beside them was a young man around twenty-three or four, with a dark complexion. His suit, shirt, and leather shoes were polished to a shine.
Liu Caizhi, the manager of New Century’s Jianglan branch, also Liu Sufen’s nephew, and Qin Shiqing’s cousin.
Feeling both nervous and excited, he kept sweating. In Liu Caizhi, Su Zelin saw the shadow of Kang Baohong from back in the day and understood his feelings.
