I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"Yesterday's exposure has finally made up for this shortcoming. Our China now has writers and thinkers who are worthy of our attention!"

He spoke excitedly, as if envisioning something, then looked at Qin Yun Chu and said:

"Yun Chu, do you know what this means?"

"what?"

"Our Chinese cultural circles are about to undergo a great transformation unseen in a century!"

Qin Yaoyang was in high spirits: "The emergence of such a heavyweight literary figure will bring about a change in the entire ecosystem. Our Hongtu must also make plans as early as possible and seize the opportunity!"

He waved his hand and said, "First, buy a batch of books by Tolstoy and Haruki Kawabata, one for each employee, and everyone must read them!"

Qin Yun Chu secretly glanced at Chen Ya: "Dad, isn't this a bit much?"

“How can we go through this? Our employees first need to be immersed in a culture,” Qin Yaoyang said, realizing something. “Right, they also need to write reading notes, hold reading exchange meetings, and organize reading competitions!”

Qin Yunchu broke out in a cold sweat: "Isn't this interfering with work?"

"Yun Chu! I really don't like your mindset!" Qin Yaoyang suddenly said sternly, "You're a human being! Not an animal! What's the use of just working hard all the time?"

He put his hands on his hips and said, "To win by hard work alone is the most foolish lie that idiots use to convince themselves. Our Hongtu only took off because we caught the wave of the times. If working hard alone was enough, our Hongtu would never have had a chance to succeed!"

"The reason I'm having you read more books is to teach you how to manage your work, instead of being managed by it. That way, when it's time for book reviews and presentations, you'll be the first one to speak, and I'll personally listen to your report!"

Qin Yun Chu wished she could slap herself.

Qin Yaoyang turned around, saw Chen Ya, and looked him up and down: "You look unfamiliar. What level are you?"

"Level 4 Specialist".

Qin Yaoyang nodded after listening. At Hongtu, positions below level 3 are considered low-end, and level 4 is the lowest level among technical positions.

"Standing upright, with a military bearing, did you serve in the army?"

"No."

Qin Yaoyang nodded and said nothing more.

Given his status, he shouldn't praise people too much.

"You're here to report on your work?"

"Yes."

"You should go back first," Qin Yaoyang said, gesturing with his chin.

Whenever Qin Yaoyang is considering important decisions, he likes to find someone to listen to.

By speaking fluently and engagingly to an audience, one can help clarify their thoughts.

His daughter was an excellent listener. But this level 4 employee wasn't.

To maintain secrecy, he first had to get rid of any irrelevant people.

However, unbeknownst to him, Qin Yun Chu's facial expressions were constantly shifting.

She cried out in her heart: "My dear father! All those unprecedented changes in a century and important ecological niches that you're thinking about are caused by the person standing right in front of you!"

And then you have to kick him out!

Qin Yun Chu pinched her thigh hard until it hurt, just to keep herself from saying it.

This is so hard to get through!

Just then, there was another knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

"Mr. Qin! Are you free right now?"

The person who entered was Vice President Song Gang. He strode in, and upon seeing Qin Yaoyang, he paused slightly before immediately saying, "Chairman Qin! Why didn't you announce your arrival?"

Qin Yaoyang said, "I was disciplining my daughter. What's wrong? What happened?"

Song Gang said excitedly, "I just ran into General Manager Gu from Pengcheng Company outside. They asked me for directions to Tengda and said they wanted to come and visit. When I heard that, I thought, what a coincidence! So I brought them over."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun Chu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

broken.

Qin Yun Chu quickly said, "They are friends I met yesterday. We agreed to come and visit. Let me show them around."

Qin Yaoyang ignored him and recalled, "President Gu of Pengcheng, is he the grandson of that Old Gu, right? His name is..."

"Gu Yuanzhen," Song Gang quickly prompted.

Qin Yaoyang said with a smile, "I happen to be here too, I'll go see him as well."

Qin Yunchu turned her back and pinched her thigh hard again.

Isn't this making things more and more complicated?

Moreover, because of this interruption, she had no chance to say what she was going to tell Chen Ya.

Chen Ya left silently and closed the door.

Through Qin Yunchu's performance, he realized two things.

The fact that he was a writer could no longer be hidden from Qin Yunchu and the others.

However, she probably won't reveal herself.

He already knew everything that had happened last night.

He was mostly playing dumb in front of Qin Yunchu today, simply because he didn't want to complicate things.

Chen Ya was actually quite indifferent to the exposure of his identity; if it was exposed, so be it.

As long as it doesn't affect his progress in obtaining the "Office Worker" achievement, it's fine.

At worst, he still has many companies under his control; he can just find any one to work for and have his employees accompany the prince in his studies.

The reason he didn't do that before was because he thought it would be too pretentious.

And that way you can't work overtime. This system gets faster the more you work overtime.

Therefore, if you can stay at Hongtu, it's best not to leave.

Back in his office, Chen Ya found that apart from Sister Zhang, Old Tang and Wang Qian were no longer there.

Where are they?

Sister Zhang turned around and saw him, saying, "Hey Chen Ya, we've been assigned the task of mentoring new employees, and they've all gone to help out at the welcome party. Manager Zhao also asked me to tell you to come over since you're here."

"Oh."

Chen Ya had a bit of a headache.

Yesterday I was saying not to separate Ma Wei and Luo Rong, those two clowns, and what I feared most has come to pass.

Just then, my phone, which was in my pocket, vibrated slightly. I took it out and saw that it was a message from Qin Yun Chu.

[Qin Yun Chu: I'm so sorry I didn't have a chance to say it earlier, but I pretended to be your girlfriend.]

Chen Ya: Oh.

[Qin Yun Chu: What do you think?]

[Chen Ya: What do you mean, what do you think?]

[Qin Yun Chu: How should I explain this to them?]

[Chen Ya: You can just leave the group; no explanation needed.]

Qin Yun Chu: Let's talk later, I have something to do right now.

While engrossed in the words, I arrived at the venue only to find that everyone was already seated.

Manager Zhao sat at the conference table, saw Chen Ya, frowned, and waved his hand impatiently:

"Those who are late, please sit down quickly, don't waste time."

Zhang Li chuckled to herself.

Manager Zhao was her direct supervisor, and she registered Chen Ya with Manager Zhao.

That's why Manager Zhao was so impatient with Chen Ya.

Chen Ya sat down next to Wang Qian.

Manager Zhao's mood changed faster than flipping through a book. With a beaming smile, he said, "Well then, welcome everyone to the Hongtu family. Let's begin the welcome party. First, let me introduce myself..."

At the same time, Gu Yuanzhen and the others had just finished introducing themselves to Qin Yaoyang.

They sat in Hongtu's luxurious reception room. Qin Yaoyang, seated in the central armchair, smiled and pointed at the other person, saying:

"A prince from Pengcheng, a daughter of the He family, and the famous novelist Xiao Qing—what wind blew you all together?"

Gu Yuanzhen was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He smiled awkwardly and said, "As the saying goes, 'Peach and plum trees do not speak, yet a path is formed beneath them; things of a kind gather together, and people of a kind group together.' We met yesterday and felt very compatible, so we were all drawn to your Hongtu Company."

Qin Yaoyang chuckled and said, "Quick-witted, the Gu family has an heir."

He then asked He Shiying, "Xiaoying, how is your dad?"

"Thanks to you, he is still in good health."

He then turned to Xiao Qing: "Teacher Xiao Qing, my wife loves reading your novels."

Xiao Qing covered her mouth and laughed, "Really? Then I am truly honored."

Qin Yaoyang patted the armrest of the chair and said:

"What happened yesterday made me realize something: money can't shape people. To shape people, you need culture and someone with a pen like Teacher Xiao."

Everyone held their breath and pretended to listen attentively.

Qin Yaoyang continued, "What did the Western Renaissance revive? It revived the human spirit. The trend of the times is always becoming more and more humanistic. I believe that the 21st century is the century of humanity, and when we do business, we should start from the human element..."

After talking on and on for a while, Qin Yunchu whispered to the side, "Dad, how about I find someone to show them around, and then we can have lunch together?"

Qin Yaoyang turned his head and whispered, "Who are you looking for?"

Qin Yunchu said, "We have a pretty good guy named Chen Ya in our company, how about we have him show them around?"

Qin Yaoyang said, "What I mean is, why are we looking for anything? I have nothing to do, I'll just lead the young people in some activities."

Qin Yunchu looked at He Shiying, both of them with bitter expressions.

Wang Qian and Lao Tang sat in the conference room, both of them looking miserable.

While everyone else was in a meeting, observing which newcomer was the prettiest, they were all silently praying in their hearts—please don't let Ma Wei and Luo Rong, these two darlings, end up with them.

Manager Zhao talked for a long time, showed the PPT, and then asked the dozen or so new employees to introduce themselves one by one.

After the previous speakers finished, it was Luo Rong's turn. She stood up and said in a very sharp and assertive manner:

"Hello everyone, I am Luo Rong. I graduated with a master's degree from Heyang Institute of Technology. I enjoy reading, traveling, and skiing. I have an outgoing personality and love making friends. My goal is to make 100 friends on Hongtu."

After speaking, she paused, observed the reactions of the crowd, and then said:

"Well, I made a friend as soon as I started working here. He's my colleague Ma Wei, but we ended up becoming boyfriends by accident."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the two girls who had been standing very close to Ma Wei since the beginning.

Sure enough, after saying that, the two girls seemed a little hesitant.

After she sat down, Manager Zhao said into the microphone, "I also enjoy making friends, but I'd like to remind you that company rules and regulations clearly prohibit office romances. It's fine to date between different departments, but dating within the same department is absolutely not allowed, and marriage is also prohibited. If two people get married while working at the company, usually one of them will have to resign. I hope everyone will take note of this."

Luo Rong stared wide-eyed and said, "Huh? But my friend Wang Qian is dating someone from her office."

Manager Zhao's piercing gaze swept over, directly facing Wang Qian, his tone already quite unfriendly: "What's going on?!"

Wang Qian huddled up in a small ball, shivering.

Manager Zhao turned to Luo Rong and asked, "Who is she talking to?"

“Him.” Luo Rong pointed to Chen Ya.

All eyes in the conference room turned to him.

Chen Ya remained calm, but Manager Zhao was not so composed. However, he didn't want to pursue the matter in this setting, and said through gritted teeth:

"I'll have a good talk with them later. You guys continue."
