Three o'clock in the morning.
Except for the writers who worked overtime during the day and still had to go back to finish their manuscripts at night, and the young boys practicing "marksmanship" under the covers, most people had already fallen into dreamland.
Huachuang Building.
This landmark building in Jiangbei City still had one office brightly lit.
Is there still someone in the office at this hour?
An Yi, who had just sent Wang Yuan, who was so excited that he was almost spasming, back, took a sip of his "Lei Bi" (a knock - off of a well - known beverage), and looked at the office with a curious expression.
With a single leap, he climbed up along the wall perpendicular to the ground.
There was an elevator, but he just didn't take it. He was just having fun!
An Yi looked at the cars below that had become like matchboxes and fell into a slight contemplation.
In theory, the Qi - Controlling Technique allowed one to fly. Unfortunately, manipulating the surrounding air required an enormous amount of inner energy.
He wondered if that poker - faced person could fly at will.
An Yi quietly opened the window and gently walked into the office.
This was only the second time he had come to the office since the establishment of his company, and everything had taken on a new look.
All kinds of documents were piled up on the large and small workstations.
Apparently, during his absence, Lan Ruoxi had already recruited employees for various positions.
An Yi let out a soft sigh.
There is no such thing as peaceful days. It's just that someone is shouldering the burden for you.
No one?
An Yi's face darkened slightly.
Could it be that an employee left the office without turning off the lights? How wasteful that would be!
As a capitalist, making money was no easy feat.
One had to be good at stealing, robbing, and fighting, and also be good at negotiation!
There was someone in the office.
An Yi gently opened the door and slowly walked in, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Lan Ruoxi was lying on the CEO's desk, sound asleep.
Her already pure and beautiful face looked even more charming, with a tinge of exhaustion that made people feel pity for her.
The midnight wind carried a bit of chill. An Yi sighed softly and gently walked over to Lan Ruoxi. He took out a coat from his storage space and put it on her.
Lan Ruoxi's eyelashes, as delicate as if painted, fluttered slightly. She sensed something and opened her eyes.
Are you awake?
An Yi asked gently.
After realizing An Yi's arrival, the tired look on Lan Ruoxi's face was replaced by a look of joy. She showed a sweet smile and said, "An Yi, why did you come here at this time?"
"I, I was just passing by and came to take a look. Why did you fall asleep here? Go home on time after work. Your health is important." An Yi said a bit sheepishly.
He knew that Lan Ruoxi was a girl who was gentle on the outside but strong - willed and hard - working. Seeing her haggard appearance, even An Yi, with his seemingly heart of stone, couldn't bear it.
For a moment, he wondered if it was right to leave the company in Lan Ruoxi's hands.
Lan Ruoxi smiled and said, "Recently, our factory has just been completed, the production lines are ready, and we're still in the process of negotiating with major e - commerce platforms. Many things aren't convenient to hand over to others."
"I just recruited a guy. Maybe he can share some of the workload with you."
An Yi said seriously, "Don't take on everything by yourself. Where have you ever seen a leader fighting on the front line? You should learn to delegate tasks to the workers and dangle the carrot in front of them."
"Haha, the person An Yi introduced must be very capable. But forget about dangling the carrot. Only by treating the employees as family will they be willing to sincerely work hard for the company's future." Lan Ruoxi said with a beaming smile.
An Yi shrugged. Then, as if remembering something, he frowned and asked, "What about your studies if you're working here all day?"
Lan Ruoxi was a bit silent. Then she forced a smile and said, "I, I've dropped out of school."
Dropped out of school?
An Yi looked at Lan Ruoxi seriously and said, "That's Donghai University. You..."
"This is a direct opportunity to be a CEO. I don't want to miss it.
Besides, isn't graduation just for getting a job? Many college students will never reach this position in their entire lives. I can tell what's more important.
Don't worry. If one day you don't want me anymore, with the experience of being the company's CEO, I'll still have an advantage over many graduates from prestigious universities when I go for job interviews."
Lan Ruoxi said with a smile, "Moreover, I enrolled in the university for someone in the first place. Who knew that someone never even went to class."
An Yi looked at Lan Ruoxi, wanting to say something but suddenly finding himself speechless.
"By the way, An Yi, our company is already a bit well - known now. Take a look at this month's financial report."
Lan Ruoxi looked quite proud as she picked up a folder and handed it to An Yi.
An Yi opened it and raised his eyebrows.
To be honest, he was a bit confused.
Come on, he hadn't even attended college seriously for a few days. How could he understand this?
"System, do you have any skills for company management?"
An Yi asked, a bit troubled.
The system didn't respond.
After asking three times,
The system, which had been as silent as the dead, finally gave a reply.
"Ding! System prompt: Your subsidiary system, the Financial Management System, has been activated!"
An Yi was speechless.
Forget it. If I don't understand, I don't understand. After all, as a boss, I should have the magnanimity of emperors with the surname Liu.
In terms of fighting, I'm not as good as my subordinates.
In terms of management, I'm not as good as my subordinates.
In terms of showing off, I'm still not as good as my subordinates.
But I'm the emperor. What can you do about it!
"Everything is in good order. It seems you've done a great job these days." An Yi put down the document and said seriously.
Lan Ruoxi said timidly, "You, you were looking at the material reimbursement form just now."
An Yi:
That doesn't matter!
An Yi put his hand on Lan Ruoxi's shoulder and said seriously, "Since I've chosen to hand the company over to you, I have absolute trust in you. I believe in my ability to judge people."
Lan Ruoxi covered her mouth and chuckled, "An Yi, you look so funny when you're serious."
An Yi:
"Um, An Yi, do you have a girlfriend now?"
Lan Ruoxi lowered her head and asked shyly.
Normally, girls should be more reserved, but she knew that being reserved wouldn't work on this blockhead, An Yi.
She didn't want to simply define their relationship as that between a boss and a subordinate.
Hearing this question, An Yi hesitated slightly.
Lan Ruoxi froze, and there was no color on her beautiful face.
Sometimes, a hesitant answer is already an answer.
Lan Ruoxi's eyes were a bit red. She quickly changed the topic and said, "Yes, yes, I, I just bought some new coffee. It tastes really good. Wait a minute. I'll go make you a cup!"
Saying that, Lan Ruoxi walked out staggeringly, looking dejected.
An Yi slapped his head and said to himself, "What on earth are you doing?!"
Crack!
The sound of something breaking rang out.
"Hey!"
An Yi quickly ran out.
Lan Ruoxi was squatting down, carefully picking up the fragments of the broken mug. "I'm sorry. I'm always so clumsy. I mess up everything I do."
Lan Ruoxi let out a soft cry as a shard of the broken mug cut her finger and drew blood.
"Be careful!"
An Yi quickly walked over. Looking at her cut finger, he directly sucked the blood out with his mouth, then took out a band - aid from his storage space and carefully put it on her finger.
Lan Ruoxi stared at him, her shoulders trembling slightly. Big tears rolled down her beautiful cheeks.
"An Yi, I'll definitely work harder. Please don't abandon me."
