She could almost see it: one day in the future, she and Zhang Yan were sitting in a spacious, bright office.
And the chubby guy was bowing and scraping at the door, waiting to submit his cooperation proposal.
Of course, right now, that fantasy still felt a little out of reach.
"Bzz, bzz, bzz—" Her phone vibrated.
[Tang Song: "I’ve boarded the plane, about to take off."]
Zhang Yan bit her lip and quickly replied: "Mm, have a safe flight."
After sending the ssage, her mood instantly improved a lot.
Listening to Lulu’s exaggerated, venting comntary in her ear, a faint smile slowly appeared on her face.
Back in the office area.
The whole company was like it had been wound up, entering a combat-readiness state.
Employees were either scrambling to tidy things up, or sitting ramrod straight, typing at their keyboards.
Even the big boss who hadn’t shown his face for ages, Li Yufei, rushed back from outside in a hurry.
"Holy shit! Zhang Yan, look, look!" Lulu suddenly bumped Zhang Yan’s arm, excited. "Turns out it’s Star Cloud International Group!"
As she spoke, she shoved her phone screen in front of Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan glanced at it and froze.
The company’s little WeChat group had already blown up.
[Marketing – Zhao Yuan: "Heard from our director that leadership from Star Cloud International is coming over to re‑review our agency qualifications, and also to discuss in‑depth cooperation going forward. If this works out, our company can get a life extension!"]
[Finance – Li Mingi: "I just got word that the general manager of Star Cloud International’s Yang City branch is personally leading the team over! Oh my god, that’s insanely aweso!"]
...
The news spread fast, and in the not‑so‑big office area a wave of barely suppressed chatter rose up.
The company was struggling now, rumors of layoffs were everywhere, and everyone was on edge.
If they really managed to latch onto a giant like Star Cloud International, win more projects and budget, that would be a huge piece of good news for everyone.
Lulu’s throat bobbed as she said excitedly, "It’s the general manager of our new client’s company. I think I saw him from a distance when I interviewed over there, just not sure which one he is."
Zhang Yan nodded, and her heart tightened with nerves as well.
Close to 10 a.m.
Several figures walked out from the direction of the executive offices.
The company boss, Li Yufei, with the marketing director, sales director, and content director Bai Rui and the others, all strode out in a flurry.
Their faces were piled with enthusiastic smiles.
The colleagues in the office area imdiately put away all their little moves, everyone snapping to full attention.
The entire space instantly fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop, leaving only the sound of keyboards clacking.
After three or four minutes, a slightly ssy set of footsteps ca from the reception area.
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but sneak over in that direction.
Next, three unfamiliar figures, surrounded by Zhang Yufei and the others, appeared at the entrance to the office area.
Two n and one woman, all in formal business attire, expressions serious, radiating a powerful presence.
Under the desk, Lulu excitedly bumped Zhang Yan’s foot, giving her a frantic look: she had seen the man in front when she went for the interview!
And the mont Zhang Yan saw that capable, sharp‑looking young woman, her expression suddenly froze.
It was Sister Wen Ruan’s assistant—Wang Dandan?!
What the...
The disordered footsteps echoed through the small office area.
Hunched slightly forward at the front, Zhang Yufei said, "President Wang, Assistant Wang, this is our company’s content creation center. We have the most professional copywriting team and have created explosive marketing campaigns for many well‑known book brands..."
Right then.
In the crowd, Wang Dandan suddenly stopped walking.
Her gaze landed on Zhang Yan, and a polite yet warm smile appeared on her face. "Ms. Zhang Yan, what a coincidence, we et again."
With her movent, everyone else also stopped.
The sound of keyboards around them stopped in unison.
A wave of shocked, puzzled, utterly incredulous gazes all swung toward Zhang Yan.
The smile on Bai Rui’s face froze instantly, his pupils dilating in a split second.
Just now at the entrance, Wang Chongxian had specifically introduced this Wang Dandan as the assistant to a Chairman at Star Cloud International Group Headquarters, a status that could not be more distinguished.
And now she had taken the initiative to greet Zhang Yan—and... this warmly.
What the hell was going on?!
Zhang Yan almost stood up on reflex. "A‑Assistant Wang, hello."
Li Yufei was taken aback for a mont, then asked in barely suppressed delight, "This... is one of our employees. You know her?"
Wang Dandan rely gave Li Yufei a slight nod in response.
Then she turned sideways to face Wang Chongxian next to her, and in the tone one used to introduce an important figure, she said, "President Wang, this is Ms. Zhang Yan, whom Chairman Wen specifically ntioned. She’ll be officially joining our company, as Senior Content Cooperation Manager in the ’Content Ecosystem Cooperation Departnt.’"
Hearing Wang Dandan’s introduction, a sharp gleam instantly flashed in Wang Chongxian’s shrewd eyes.
A bright smile spread across his face. "Hello, Manager Zhang, a pleasure, a pleasure! For our upcoming cooperation with Shu Cheng Technology, we happen to need soone in charge who understands both content creation and the vendor landscape. This is perfect! Chairman Wen has really helped us solve a big problem!"
Boom—
Zhang Yan transford on the spot into the almighty Party A.
The entire office area felt like soone had hit the pause button.
The expression on Bai Rui’s face instantly froze, cracked, and finally collapsed completely.
A bone‑deep chill suddenly shot up from his tailbone, racing through his limbs in an instant.
His legs started to tremble uncontrollably, and in just a few seconds, the shirt on his back was drenched in cold sweat.
