Jin Nian didn’t answer. She sat seriously in front of the computer, with the screen flashing.
“You’re still doing work in the middle of the night?”
“Yes, today the boss said our company has been acquired, and now we need to prepare a proposal for the parent company. Jenny, who we met today is a tough nut to crack.”
Seeing Jin Nian working with dark circles under her eyes, Lu An felt sorry for her. “I’ll help you vent your anger. Some employees think they’re veterans in the big company, so they like to boss others around. 1 will handle this.”
He usually disliked those who caused trouble just because of their status, and even more so when they targeted his wife. How could he stand by?
Jin Nian, who was immersed in her work, didn’t hear Lu An’s words. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, “What’s your company’s name? 1 think 1 heard you mention it before, but I forgot. If I’m not mistaken…”
Jin Nian was a bit forgetful.
Lu An didn’t want to keep it a secret from Jin Nian, as she would eventually find out.
Just as he was about to speak, the lights suddenly went out.
“Hmm? Power outage?” Jin Nian felt uncomfortable.
Before he could finish, Lu An saw the darkness outside. “It’s possible that there’s a circuit breaker trip.”
The next day, Lu An went out early in the morning.
Jin Nian and He Ming went to Whale together, but this time it was different from the previous visit.
Jenny had been rea.s.signed, and the new person they were dealing with was unusually enthusiastic.
Jin Nian took the chance to ask Jenny, who explained that he was transferred due to his att.i.tude.
He Ming was overjoyed.
Indeed, fortunes had turned in their favor.
The person they were dealing with said, “1 heard that the boss was furious and asked everyone to adjust their att.i.tudes at work. Fire Dragon, when he’s angry, no one can escape his wrath.”
Jin Nian burst into laughter when she heard “Fire Dragon” again.
Without Jenny’s involvement, progress was much smoother than before. By the end of the morning, after confirming a few details in the afternoon, the plan would be finalized.
They had lunch in Whale’s cafeteria. The cafeteria offered a variety of foods, from steamed buns and soy milk porridge to spicy hot pots and pickled fish. He Ming’s eyes almost popped out. “Finally, even I can enjoy finer things! If only 1 could work here in the future. 1 don’t want to leave.”
Jin Nian nodded. “It’s nice. 1 like their hot and sour noodles.”
They had a daydream during lunch. In the afternoon, their boss, Lin Qianyu, informed everyone in the workgroup that their office was moving to the Whale Building.
Currently, their office s.p.a.ce was rented, and the rent was shockingly high. Since they were now acquired by Whale, the move to the Whale Building was reasonable.
Once the announcement was made, the office was filled with cheers and complaints. Moving was the most dreaded aspect of either changing offices or relocating.
For the next couple of days, the colleagues temporarily set aside non-urgent tasks to focus on the move.
The Whale Building was located in an economic development zone, which had several internet companies. Whale had allocated three entire floors of office s.p.a.ce for their media agency. The new works.p.a.ce was more s.p.a.cious and comfortable, and naturally, the perks and benefits improved.
However, despite the appealing setting, everyone would need some time to adjust to the new environment.
The Whale Building was further from Jin Nian’s home than their previous office, which was about a 40-minute drive away.
In the end, she drove the car that Lu An had sent her. Otherwise, she would have to rush and squeeze onto the subway every day.
He Ming was the most enthusiastic among their colleagues. He felt that he had a unique connection with Whale.
“Awhile back, I had considered switching to Whale, but who would’ve thought our company would be acquired by them? Later, when 1 interacted with Jenny, 1 was silently cursing him. The next day, he was transferred. Even more ridiculous, during lunch that day, 1 casually mentioned to Jin Nian that 1 wanted to work here. This way, we wouldn’t have to worry about lunch options. In the end, Boss informed everyone to move in the afternoon!”
He Ming felt that he had been extremely lucky recently. He joked that he should buy some lottery tickets after work.
Jin Nian also found his sharp wit amusing. She teased, “Great Sage, can you predict any other good things?”
He Ming closed his eyes and said mysteriously, “1 guess we have a strong connection with the big boss.”
“But that’s not a good thing,” Jin Nian retorted. “Haven’t you heard that they call him the Fire Dragon?”
He Ming looked at her. “You don’t understand. Even if he’s a Fire Dragon, he’s the most impressive one. I’d be willing to turn into ashes in his flames..”
