The two girls at the front desk were chatting. When they saw Le Yao enter, one of the girls with a ponytail pointed upstairs. “Sister Le, hurry up. Ms. Li is waiting for you.”
The short-haired girl beside her nodded in agreement.
Han Binglan remembered these two front desk receptionists. The girl with the ponytail was Ma Zimeng. She had applied for the job after graduating from school last year.
The short-haired girl’s name was Liu Wenjing. She was the niece of the CEO, Zhao Nan’s husband, Liu Yimin. She had also failed to find a suitable job after graduating from the University of Electronics last year. She had begged her uncle, Liu Yimin, and was arranged to be a receptionist at the travel agency.
The two girls had cheerful personalities and were quite likable.
Han Binglan smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly thought of something. She opened the canvas bag and took out two bags in front of the two girls.
“Thank you, Sister Le.” Liu Wenjing hurriedly picked up one of the bags. “My favorite flavor.”
Han Binglan walked around the reception desk to the back. There was a reception hall behind. Usually, guests come here to consult and sign contracts. There was a large room beside it, which was the tour guide room. At this moment, the door was open and there were voices inside. Clearly, there was someone there.
However, she didn’t go over to greet them. Instead, she went straight up to the second floor, knocked on the door of the planning room, and pushed it open.
There were three strategists in the planning department, and they were all experienced tour guides.
Li Hua was once an outstanding tour guide in the country.
At this moment, only Li Hua was around. When she saw Le Yao, her eyes widened. “I thought I had to wait for you until the end of time.”
“Ms. Li, I was too tired. I overslept.” Han Binglan chuckled dryly. Li Hua was Le Yao’s mentor. Three years ago, Le Yao graduated from university and applied for a job with the mentality that she could be a tour guide and travel for free. It was Li Hua who taught her the ropes step by step. This person was energetic, straightforward, and unforgiving on the outside, but she was very kind-hearted. She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
“Alright, quickly take out a few of your accounts.” Li Hua waved her hand.
Han Binglan took out the three envelopes in the canvas bag. Each envelope contained a group’s accounting list.
With Li Hua’s help, the accounts of the three groups were quickly settled. Then, Han Binglan took them to the finance room. After checking, she handed over the remaining money and received her subsidy.
Since Le Yao was an outstanding tour guide, her daily subsidy was the highest in the travel agency. The three groups took a total of 15 days, so she received a subsidy of 3,000 yuan.
Han Binglan looked at the transfer on her phone and sighed slightly. Speaking of which, this was really a lot of money. However, in the past, this was not even enough money for her to have afternoon tea, but now…
“By the way, Le Yao.” Han Binglan was about to leave when Tian Shan from the finance department stopped her. “It’s President Zhao’s birthday tonight. We are discussing how to pool money to buy her a gift. Look…”
“sure.” Han Binglan nurned1Y noaaea. “HOW mucn ao you need(”
“A hundred per person. Add and subtract as needed.”
“Alright.” Han Binglan transferred a hundred yuan to Tian Shan on her cell phone. “Thank you, Auntie Tian.”
Tian Shan was the finance manager of the travel agency and the oldest. She was in her fifties this year and everyone called her Auntie Tian.
“You’re such a sweet talker.” Tian Shan packed her things and stood up to walk out. “Have you considered what I told you last time?”
“Last time? What was it?”
“See, I knew you’d forgotten.” Tian Shan raised her hand and patted Han Binglan’s head. “My cla.s.smate’s son. You met him the last time you came. His name is Yue Kai. He’s 26 years old this year and works in the power plant. He has a house and a car at home. The young man is also handsome…”
“Hehe, Auntie Tian, I don’t want to find a boyfriend yet.” Han Binglan hurriedly waved her hand. “So, thank you, Auntie Tian.”
“You’re already 24 years old. You’re not young anymore. Can you be a tour guide for the rest of your life?” Tian Shan frowned. “Think about it carefully. That cla.s.smate of mine and his wife are both from a business unit. The unit has given them a house, and they even earned more than a million yuan after the old house was demolished. Yue Kai is their only son, and the benefits of the unit are very good. There’s not so much nonsense…”
“Auntie Tian, I really don’t want to find a partner so early. You know that my brother is still in school. My family is preparing to take a loan to buy another house. If I find a partner, I definitely won’t be able to help my family. So, I’ll wait a little longer.” Han Binglan smiled awkwardly and sighed in her heart.
After seeing a top-notch man like Nangong Jue, no other man could catch her
However, since she had come to another world, she had no intention of being alone for the rest of her life. However, this time, she had to find someone she loved and also loved her back. It was really tiring to give love and not get a response.
As for Yue Kai, she had an impression of him. He was indeed good-looking and his family sounded good. However, she did not feel anything for him, so she did not want to suffer.
“You silly kid…” Tian Shan patted Han Binglan’s shoulder. “You’re really filial, but remember, don’t be stupidly filial. You might be called a ‘Brother-con’.
Don’t get yourself involved when the time comes.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Han Binglan nodded. Seeing that the other party no longer mentioned Yue Kai, she heaved a sigh of relief.
President Zhao of the travel agency was called Zhao Nan. She was also a tour guide. Later on, he founded Haiyun Travel Agency. In the beginning, she only did domestic tourism. Later on, she developed further and had already changed the name to National Tourism. They could also take on international tourist groups now.
Today was her thirty-eighth birthday, and they happened to be less busy after the long holiday in summer and October. Next, it would be the off-season for travel, and everyone would be able to relax. Therefore, every year at this time, she would take the opportunity to gather with her colleagues in the unit.
Zhao Nan’s husband was Liu Yimin. He used to drive tourist cars. Later on, he contracted a fleet of cars and could be considered to have joined forces with his wife.
The gathering was at the Crown Holiday Inn, a five-star hotel that had just opened last year. It was quite high-cla.s.s and the buffet cost 398 yuan per person.
As the hotel was not far from the company, it took less than ten minutes to walk there, so the group of more than ten people walked there.
“Le Yao.” Luan Qing chased after Han Binglan and walked side by side with her.
“We’ll be free after October. What’s your plan?”
Han Binglan glanced at Luan Qing. In Le Yao’s memory, this person had once confessed to her in private, but he had been rejected.
In other words, this person liked her.
“I haven’t thought about it.” She was not suitable to be a tour guide at all, nor could she do such a job well. It just so happened that at the end of the year, her labor contract with the travel agency would expire. At that time, she would find a new job..
