Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 200 Is Your Husband Not Home? (Part 1)
Upon returning to the Shanghai branch, Chen Yan immediately convened a meeting.

In front of the writing board, Chen Yan said loudly:
"We have just secured advertising space on large screens in 50 subway stations in Shanghai, and we expect to start advertising there next month."

"This promotion alone will cost 1200 million in advertising fees!"

"So our next task is very urgent. Before we can launch the advertising campaign, I need a large number of companies to join [Boss Zhipin]."

"Only in this way can we retain new users to the greatest extent possible after the advertising campaign is launched."

"From now on, everyone needs to be on high alert and go door-to-door in major office buildings to get the companies inside to join our software. Just like before, you'll get a 500 yuan bonus for each company you invite to join!"

"As for the wording, you can be creative. During this special period, it's okay to exaggerate a bit, such as 'almost all the recent graduates from universities in Shanghai are using our [Boss Direct Recruitment],' etc."

"No matter what you say, the ultimate goal is to get them to post job openings on our software."

"Let me be frank from the start: if you haven't managed to invite a single company to join us for three consecutive days, then I'm sorry, but you'll have to submit your resignation."

"The one who performs best in this battle will be promoted to city manager of Shanghai."

"That's all I have to say. Okay, meeting adjourned. Everyone, get out of here!"

Then, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, everyone rushed out of the office.

These people are all young people in their twenties, and they have only been working for less than two months. They are still full of passion and anticipation for this job.

Now that the path to promotion and a raise is right in front of us, what are we waiting for? Of course, we should roll up our sleeves and get to work!
…………

Shanghai Railway Culture Media also acted quickly; around 4 p.m., Xi Yingying sent over an advertising template.

Chen Yan glanced at it briefly; the art direction was fine, but the advertising slogan—

"Boss Direct Hire: A job search app that lets you talk directly with bosses" is really lacking.

Chen Yan replied to Xi Yingying: [This advertising slogan is too long and not catchy enough.]

Xi Yingying: [Okay, I'll have the company's planner revise it again.]

Chen Yingjun: [No need, just change it to—For job hunting, go to Boss Zhipin!]

Xi Yingying: [Should it be this short?]

Chen Yingjun: [That's right]

Xi Yingying: [Okay, Mr. Chen]

Just when I thought the conversation was over, Xi Yingying sent another message: "[President Chen, thank you for your support today. Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner.]"

Question: A young, juicy, and ripe woman invites you to dinner. Should you refuse?

Chen Yan lay back in his chair, his mind first flashing to Jiang Zhixin's beautiful face, then to Ruan Yusang, and even to Jiang Muyun. Finally, he sighed and replied with two words:
【where? 】

The other party quickly sent a location: [Sushi Takumi Kappo Cuisine (Bund Branch)]

Xi Yingying: [Mr. Chen, see you at 6 o'clock!]

Chen Yingjun: [Okay]

………………

Sushi Sho Kappo Cuisine is a high-end Japanese restaurant on the Bund in Shanghai. The average price per person is around 400 RMB. The elegant and private environment is suitable for business banquets or couples' anniversaries.

As soon as Chen Yan entered the restaurant, he spotted Xi Yingying sitting by the window.

There's no way around it, this woman is quite beautiful, and her figure is even more stunning. She exudes a mature femininity, and even in the Bund of Shanghai, where beauties abound, she is exceptionally eye-catching.

Xi Yingying was touching up her makeup in front of the mirror when Chen Yan sat down opposite her, at which point she snapped out of her daze.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't see you come in."

Chen Yan waved his hand and joked, "I think Manager Xi is the prettiest person in this restaurant today, she doesn't need to touch up her makeup."

"Giggle."

Hearing Chen Yan's praise, Xi Yingying couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Her collar opened slightly with her movement, revealing her fair skin under her silk shirt, which Chen Yan, sitting opposite her, could see clearly.

The edges of the rose-red lace bra were faintly visible, stirring his heart and causing him to shamelessly perk up.

Then, Xi Yingying pushed the menu in front of Chen Yan: "Mr. Chen, it's my treat today. Please order whatever you like."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Chen Yan didn't stand on ceremony with her and took the menu to order various signature dishes.

"Yingying!"

Just then, a woman's voice came from behind.

Chen Yan subconsciously turned around and saw a man and a woman walking towards them. The woman jogged over first and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is you, Yingying!"

Then, she glanced at Chen Yan sitting opposite Xi Yingying and teased, "Who is this handsome young man? Could he be your kept man?"

Xi Yingying hurriedly said, "Qingqing! Don't talk nonsense, this is one of my company's major clients."

Seeing Xi Yingying's serious expression, the woman named "Qingqing" looked at Chen Yan again and said, "Excuse me, handsome young man, you don't mind if I was just joking, do you?"

Chen Yan returned a polite smile: "It's nothing."

At this moment, the man who had been with her also walked over. He clearly recognized Xi Yingying and greeted her with a smile: "Yingying, it's been a long time."

Xi Yingying nodded slightly: "Long time no see, are you eating here too?"

"Yes, today is our wedding anniversary, and Ah Feng insisted on bringing me here to eat."

Qingqing, holding the hand of the man beside her, said with a happy expression.

But Chen Yan noticed that "A-Feng" frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with what Qingqing had said.

"Alright, then we won't disturb your business discussion any longer. Let's reschedule for another day, Yingying."

"Okay, let's meet another day."

………………

After the two walked away, Xi Yingying hurriedly apologized to Chen Yan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, Qingqing is my college classmate. She doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. Please don't take it to heart."

"it's okay no problem."

As Chen Yan spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Xi Yingying and lowered his voice, saying, "But I feel like that guy seems to be interested in you."

Xi Yingying was slightly taken aback: "You could tell that?"

Ok?
Did I really guess right?

There's a saying that goes something like this: Gossip is the fourth greatest human instinct.

Chen Yan instantly conjured up a 200 million-word melodramatic romance drama in his mind.

"Explain in more detail?"

"Uh... if Mr. Chen wants to hear it, then I'll tell you. Anyway, it's all old news."

Xi Yingying took a sip of lemonade and continued, "Actually, the three of us were college classmates. Qingqing's husband, Afeng, did pursue me before, and Qingqing knows that too."

“He was a local from Shanghai and his family was well-off, but I wasn’t interested in him, so I didn’t agree to his advances at the time.”

"Then, not long after we graduated, they got together."

"Then they got married very quickly, and now their child is almost in elementary school."

"Oh I got it."

Chen Yan nodded in satisfaction.

While not as melodramatic as I imagined, this version is clearly more realistic and closer to reality.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, what's your zodiac sign?" Xi Yingying suddenly asked.

Chen Yan naturally knew that this was another way of asking about age. Some people don't like to be asked about age directly, so they use this euphemistic way to express it.

"You were born in the Year of the Pig, what about you?"

"What a coincidence, I was also born in the Year of the Pig."

After blurting it out, Xi Yingying realized, "No, you're only 18?!"

"Yeah, do I look old?" Chen Yan asked back.

"No, no, I just thought you were at least twenty-two or twenty-three years old, I didn't expect you to be so young."

"Manager Xi is very young too! She looks like a young woman in her early twenties! Young and beautiful!"

"No way!"

Xi Yingying gave Chen Yan a reproachful look, then covered her flushed face with her hands, looking quite happy. However, thinking about her experiences over the past few years, she sighed softly and said:
"I'm already thirty years old, how can I still be considered young? I could be your aunt at that age."
