My Life with Narration

Chapter 408 - 404: You Can Form a Party with This?

On the last day of September, Shen Yi’s body had mostly recovered, so she went to the company to handle some matters before the holiday.

"Good morning, President Shen."

"Hello, President Shen!"

"President Shen!"

Since it was the last day before the holiday, everyone’s spirits in the company were high, and even in the morning, there was an irrepressible joy in the air.

As Shen Yi walked into the company, employees greeted her along the way. In return, the cheerful boss nodded and smiled to acknowledge them.

Today, unlike her usual long dresses, Shen Yi opted for an outfit more inclined towards a professional look: a white fitted blouse with a black long skirt, making her appear much younger.

Her face was glowing, her complexion was excellent, giving her a different aura, quite distinct from her usual self.

"Good morning, President Shen!" At the office door, Feng Yan saw her boss arriving and greeted her as usual, but she quickly noticed something different.

Her boss had changed; although Shen Yi didn’t usually wear a sour expression at the company, her demeanor was typically cold and dignified. After all, managing a company as a woman requires a certain amount of prowess, right?

But today was different. Today, President Shen wore a barely-there smile, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking radiant. Most notably, Feng Yan noticed a faint red mark on Shen Yi’s neck.

Although it was mostly hidden by her long hair and could easily go unnoticed, Feng Yan managed to glimpse it.

In an instant, Feng Yan felt as if struck by lightning; she had experienced this scenario before, and not too long ago.

As a woman, she knew all too well what might have happened. She recalled that President Shen hadn’t been to the company for a few days, and Su Qing was also nowhere to be seen.

In a flash, she had figured out nearly the whole truth.

Don’t ask, "woman’s intuition" shall be the answer.

Moreover, within the company, aside from Deng Jie, she was probably the only one who firmly believed that if something had happened with President Shen, Su Qing must be the culprit.

She hadn’t expected Su Qing to act so quickly—she had underestimated him. Yet, she was quite pleased, after all, Su Qing was from her department, and she had personally recruited him.

The fact that someone from her department had won over the boss—even if she wasn’t the protagonist—gave her a sense of involvement and made her quite proud.

"Hmm, morning!" Shen Yi greeted with a smile. She was just about to open her office door but paused to speak, "By the way, notify the senior staff to meet in the conference room at noon. Also, tell everyone to speed up the progress, try to submit all reports today. If we’re quick enough, we might start our holiday half a day early!"

"Understood, President Shen." Feng Yan’s face lit up with joy. This was clearly the boss’s good mood manifesting in some benefits for the employees.

Even though it was just a half-day off, it still signaled something significant.

After Shen Yi went inside, the three in the side commentary group were taken aback.

"Sister Feng, doesn’t President Shen seem different today?" Cui Rong asked, intrigued.

Qin Shuang nodded, "Yeah, her complexion is so good!"

"What do you know, President Shen is probably in high spirits because of some good news. But honestly, her face looks so biteable right now!" Zhang Xiao jokingly wiped her mouth, pretending to drool.

Amusingly, the trio in the side commentary seemed to only guard thoughts internally, but with outsiders, they remained quite sincere. Yet, they managed to maintain such a good surface relationship among themselves—fascinating.

"Why do you care so much? Didn’t you hear what President Shen said? Hurry and finish your work. We can leave early today. If anyone causes delay, don’t blame me for dealing with you!" Feng Yan glared at them.

As the company continued to improve, although not explicitly stated, the planning department had essentially split into two sections: one under Cui Bo and the other under Feng Yan’s summarization. Feng Yan now enjoyed the benefits of a deputy manager.

If the department were formally divided, Feng Yan would be the rightful manager, and the others naturally couldn’t afford to slack off on her words.

"Mumu, what are you looking at?" Lin Miaomiao leaned over to ask.

The social media adept stared at Shen Yi’s back for a while before slowly speaking, "I smell gossip."

Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao adjusted her glasses, which glinted appropriately, "Gossip? Could it be about President Shen? What’s the scoop?"

"Scoop your head, would you really want to mess with the boss’s gossip? Go try your luck with Wang Xing!"

At this, Lin Miaomiao pouted slightly, but thinking of Wang Xing brought her joy. Recently, she felt her cooking skills were improving substantially; soon, she’d capture a man’s heart through his stomach.

At ten in the morning, Deng Jie came to the office to report on work.

"Well done, I told you you could do it!" Shen Yi smiled as she looked at the sales reports from the past month.

"Following you for so long, I’ve learned quite a bit!" Deng Jie was quite satisfied with her performance as well.

Though she’s always been capable, she had been Shen Yi’s secretary for years. Finally getting such an opportunity, she naturally sought to seize it. Thankfully, after taking over the sales department, no errors occurred.

Although the staff changed after Manager Wu’s incident, some new people emerged, and with Su Qing’s assistance, Shen Yi navigated the crisis without incurring losses and even made a considerable profit.

Given such favorable conditions, if she couldn’t maintain stability, she wouldn’t have the face to stay.

"After all these years, do you still need to be so formal with me? Alright, I’ll have the finance department issue this month’s bonus shortly," Shen Yi chuckled.

"President Shen, issuing the bonus now...is that appropriate? Some of this month’s sales haven’t even been realized or generated profits yet!"

"Not a problem, consider it an early reward for everyone. Besides, it can’t run away. We’re happy, right? Moreover, let’s cancel this month’s gathering and start our holiday earlier!" Shen Yi beamed.

Ever since confirming her relationship with Su Qing, everything looked pleasant to her in the company.

Upon hearing this, Deng Jie thought about it and then smiled slightly, her expression less formal than before as she asked, "Has President Shen encountered some good news?"

"Sort of, how did you know?"

"You might as well have ’I’m very happy’ written on your face!"

"Is it that obvious?"

With that, Shen Yi quickly took out a small mirror from her bag and checked her reflection.

Seeing this, Deng Jie was even more certain. After all, in all her years with Shen Yi, she’d never seen President Shen bring a mirror to work.

It wasn’t that she didn’t care about her image, but more about her confidence in her appearance.

When a woman of excellent looks cares even more about her appearance, it’s likely due to a man, indicating progress in her romantic life.

"Is it because of Mr. Su? Congratulations, President Shen. No wonder you’re glowing today—because...hee hee!!"

Seeing Deng Jie’s expression, Shen Yi blushed furiously and stood up to playful strike her, but Deng Jie giggled and quickly dashed out.

During the meeting, all the managers of the company knew President Shen was in an exceptionally good mood today.

At the same time, in the Qingshui Garden District, Su Qing sat on the living room sofa, holding the 10,000 cash Shen Yi had thrown on the bed before leaving in the morning, to the extent that he felt his hair might fall out with worry.

What did she mean by this? Keeping me?

Do I look like I need your support? I’m a millionaire now, you might be somewhat undermining me.

Calling this money? And I should spend it to enjoy myself? I don’t even know where to have fun.

How about... ordering a spicy hot pot? No spice, just aroma and a pot?

Money is no object, yet he truly doesn’t know how to enjoy and splurge.

Although his income has soared recently, his spending habits haven’t caught up. Simply put, he doesn’t know how to spend big money.

Small amounts he’s fine with, but with large amounts, he genuinely doesn’t know what to do. After all, he doesn’t care for luxury items, and it’s not enough to buy a house.

Just then, Da Huang came out of the dog house, carrying a stack of cash—another 10,000 yuan—held in its mouth, approached him, and dropped it on the ground.

"Woof woof" [She gave me a big slap this morning, what’s that about?]

Su Qing: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

"Wow, you’ve got some too?"

"Woof?" [Why did you say also?]

As a person and a dog stared at each other, bewildered, the doorbell in the living room rang. Opening the door, it turned out to be the landlady standing there.

"Sister Wen, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Wen Nanqing first looked him up and down, then joked, "Little Su, though you’re young, you need to take care of your health, got it?

Don’t listen to Xiao Yi. Men and women have different constitutions. You’ll understand as you get older. Oh, Xiao Yi said I should take you to pick out a car, says you need one tomorrow. What car do you like? Tell me, and I’ll get it for you!"

Su Qing: ???

Even being kept comes with teamwork?
