When hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao glanced at the call time. She actually chatted with Chen Yanbei for half an hour.
But thinking about the content of the conversation between the two, it seems that they were all useless topics. Most of the time, she was acting coquettishly, and he replied in a loving way.
This is probably the feeling of falling in love, Jiang Yao thought subconsciously, raised her hand and touched her cheek with the back of her hand. It was indeed slightly hot.
Jiang Yao came out of the phone booth after the blush on her cheeks dissipated.
She has no class in the morning today, and her afternoon class is not considered a professional class, so she can go or not. She didn't have a good rest last night. She came to visit Zhou Meiyi early in the morning. She has to attend a cocktail party tonight. She doesn't know what she will encounter. The demons and ghosts simply decided not to go to the afternoon class and go home to recharge their batteries.
She raised her hand to hail a taxi and went straight to the Central Apartment.
After arriving home, as soon as my butt touched the sofa and I hadn't felt comfortable for two seconds, the phone next to me rang.
She leaned against the sofa and picked it up. Huang Weide's voice came from inside: "Boss Jiang, where are you?"
Jiang Yao was stunned: "What's wrong? I'm still at home."
Huang Weide couldn't help but smile and reminded: "Have you forgotten, today is the company's relocation day, everyone is still waiting for you to cut the ribbon at 10:18!"
With his reminder, Jiang Yao immediately changed from Ge You's lying posture to sitting up straight: "Sorry, sorry, I really forgot about this. It's already past ten o'clock. I will definitely not be able to make it in ten minutes. How about you go first?" Scissors, I’ll try to get there as soon as possible.”
She held the receiver in one hand and covered her head with the other, looking embarrassed and a little ashamed. Huang Weide called her last week to confirm the date. Her own company was relocating, but she could forget such an important thing. It seemed like she wasn't too concerned about it.
Huang Weide is used to having a plan B for everything, so he immediately comforted her: "It's okay, I asked the master to calculate the two ribbon-cutting times, one at 10:18 and the other at 11:18. They are all meant to be announced. You can catch up with the one behind. When the time comes, I will definitely make it in time. Just in time to have lunch with my colleagues after cutting the ribbon."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll come over now."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao did not get up immediately. After thinking about it, she called Zhong Yi again. Before leaving, Chen Yanbei told her that if she had anything to do, she could contact Zhong Yi directly.
After answering the phone, Jiang Yao asked him to help find some more powerful bodyguards, disguise themselves and improvise near the company, and come out to help if someone caused trouble.
Finding a few more powerful bodyguards didn't matter to Zhong Yi, so he immediately reassured Jiang Yao.
Chen Yanbei has raised a group of people privately. During normal times, those people work in car factories or underground boxing gyms. When they are needed, they will become well-trained professional bodyguards.
After talking to Jiang Yao on the phone, Zhong Yi immediately went to arrange manpower.
Jiang Yao also felt a little relieved.
I still vividly remember the experience of having paint thrown at me by a gangster when I went to see a shop with a real estate agent.
At that time, the group of people warned that whoever rents that place will cause trouble and lose business. After this incident, the store was not rented out, and now it can only be used as an office by Jiang Yao.
On the first day when he opened his business, he had good intentions, but he was afraid that the gangsters would get the news and come to cause trouble again, so Jiang Yao took precautions and arranged for bodyguards to cover the place.
After making arrangements, Jiang Yao changed into more professional clothes and hurried downstairs to take a taxi to the company.
The company is actually quite close to where she lives, and it only took less than twenty minutes despite the traffic jam.
When Jiang Yao arrived at the company, everyone was there. As soon as they saw her, everyone bowed and shouted: "Hello, boss!"
Jiang Yao's red lips curled up slightly and she nodded slightly to everyone.
She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was not yet time for the ribbon-cutting. She looked at everyone with a smile and said, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the new office?"
These words opened up everyone's conversation.
Liao Mei clasped her hands together and looked at her workstation with bright eyes: "I'm so satisfied! I didn't expect that I would be the first white-collar workers in Hong Kong to use computers!"
Then she turned to Jiang Yao with shining eyes, "Thank you, boss!"
"Yes, thank you boss for letting us all use computers!" Liao Mei raised her head, and several other employees also expressed their gratitude to Jiang Yao.
In this era, computers have begun to become popular in foreign countries. As one of the Four Asian Tigers and one of the global financial centers, Hong Kong has many large foreign companies equipped with office computers for their employees.
In the previous GA magazine, only the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief were equipped with desktop computers. The other editors only had typewriters and had no chance to use computers.
The price of a computer is equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary white-collar worker, and everyone is equipped with one. This shows Jiang Yao's generosity, and it is no wonder that everyone is grateful.
In addition to computers, everyone is also quite satisfied with other hardware facilities in the office. Although the company is not large in size, every space is reasonably utilized, including office areas, tea rooms, lounges and restrooms.
There are all kinds of drinks, snacks and fruits in the refrigerator in the pantry, and everyone can eat as much as they want.
What's more considerate is that the lounge is actually equipped with a massage chair imported from Germany. Before Jiang Yao came, everyone had taken turns to experience it. It was so comfortable that they wanted to lie on it all day.
The editorial team expressed their opinions:
Barbeque Pork: "Boss, the company is so comfortable, I don't want to go home anymore. Let me stay here 24 hours a day and devote myself to the company!"
Bo Zai nodded: "Me too, me too. I took the initiative to apply for two jobs. I am an editor during the day and a company security guard at night."
Ah D said seriously: "In that case, do we have to get off the night shift?"
Jiang Yao was amused by everyone. After the fun, she still said: "Of course I am happy that you are happy to work with the company, but our company does not promote overtime culture. Everyone should try to complete their tasks during working hours."
There are currently three people in the company's editorial team, Char Siu, Bo Zai and Ah D. There is no hierarchy between the three. Everyone is at the same level and is responsible for the content of the real estate magazine.
Liao Mei was transferred from administration to account manager, responsible for developing and discovering advertising clients. However, she had just transferred and could not complete this aspect independently. Jiang Yao had to guide her for a while.
Huang Weide's title is partner, and he is involved in all aspects of the company's operations.
Everyone was very excited to move into the new office. After chatting and laughing, it was almost time to cut the ribbon. Huang Weide organized everyone to stand at the front desk of the company.
Jiang Yao stood in the middle, and Liao Mei came out from the side carrying a tray with gold scissors for ribbon cutting.
"Boss, please." Liao Mei looked happy and raised the tray in front of Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao reached out and picked up the gold scissors, pointed them at the red ribbon, and was about to cut it off. The door was suddenly pushed open, and five people wearing work clothes with the flower shop's logo came in, each holding two in their hands. A large flower basket covered with plastic sheeting.
Because he was from a flower shop, the bodyguard outside the door didn't stop him.
After a few people came in, one of the women in work clothes directed them to unload the flower baskets, and then asked the people in the front desk: "Is Miss Jiang Yao here? Could you please sign for the flower baskets."
"I am." Jiang Yao put down the scissors and was just about to take the signature card she handed over when she saw a corner of the plastic sheet of the flower basket was blown up, revealing a little of the flowers inside.
Jiang Yao threw down the receipt card and walked towards the flower basket.
The flower shop staff's expression changed and he stopped in front of her: "Ms. Jiang, could you please sign for them first? In order to give you these flower baskets, all the staff in the shop were mobilized. There is no one in the shop now, and we are all anxious. Going back."
"Get out of the way!" Jiang Yao pushed her away without even looking at the person in front of her.
Seeing that she was about to remove the plastic sheet, the people in the flower shop stepped forward to protect the flower baskets in front of them and covered the plastic sheet tightly.
"Ms. Jiang, your friend specially told you to give you a surprise. It's not too late for you to sign for it first and then enjoy it slowly."
"Yes, Miss Jiang, you can just sign it and it won't waste much time."
Where can I get a plastic sheet to cover the opening flower basket? Huang Weide vaguely felt that something was wrong with the scene. While the people in the flower shop were paying attention to Jiang Yao, he winked at his two colleagues. They used their strength at the same time to knock away the person in front of a flower basket and directly threw the plastic sheet away. Open it——
hiss!
Seeing the flowers in front of them clearly, the faces of everyone on Jiang Yao's side changed drastically!
There are five flower baskets, all composed of black and white flowers. The white ones are chrysanthemums and the black ones are mandalas.
White chrysanthemums are usually given to the deceased, while the flower language of black mandala is unpredictable darkness and death. Obviously, the people who send these flower baskets are not here to bless, but to cause trouble.
The person who sent the flowers was so wicked!
Jiang Yao just caught a glimpse of the color of the flowers, so she came to lift the plastic sheet. Now that her idea was confirmed, although she felt angry in her heart, she was the boss now, and her words and deeds directly affected employees' views of the company.
So on her face, she still maintained the unflappable demeanor of a leader who was facing the collapse of the front. She turned around and calmly said to the people in the flower shop: "I don't know how to sign for these flower baskets. I'll give you one minute to move them away."
Today is a big day for the company to move into a new house. She will deal with the people behind the flowers, but certainly not today.
The embarrassment of being discovered flashed across the face of the flower shop staff, "Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry. We are in the flower shop business. If customers order flowers, we will deliver them. Please don't let the grievances between you and your friends spread to us. Innocent people."
The customer paid ten times the market price, and the requirement was that he must find a way to get Jiang Yao to sign for it. The flower shop staff came up with the idea of covering the flower baskets with plastic sheets to trick Jiang Yao into signing for them without her knowledge, so that they could make business easier when they went back.
Now that Jiang Yao has seen these flowers, it is impossible to sign for them. The people in the florist looked at each other. Although they did not get the receipt, if the customer's desired effect is achieved, the other party will not default on the final payment.
So a few people simply took away all the plastic sheets without stopping, and the front desk of the company was instantly occupied by ten black and white flower baskets.
Because the store faces the street, many passers-by can see the situation at the front desk. When they see the black and white flower baskets, they stop to look inside.
This is an area where office buildings gather. If such a scandal occurs, GA will be famous in the entire Central District before tomorrow. These mediocre people will not care about the rights and wrongs of it. They will only think that GA has done something immoral. On the first day we opened, we were given chrysanthemums.
After the people in the flower shop finished their work, they planned to leave, but Jiang Yao had already changed her mind. She grabbed the walkie-talkie on the table and said inside: "Stop him!"
Before the people in the flower shop could react, a dozen men in black rushed in at the door and formed a wall of people at the door.
Make sure that passers-by outside can't see what's going on inside, and no one inside can get out.
