396: Chapter 285: Your Manâs Company Isnât That Scary_1 396: Chapter 285: Your Manâs Company Isnât That Scary_1 On the way to work, Nanxi was silent the entire time.
Lu Yinchu thought she was nervous and didnât want to disturb her.
In the workplace, there are many things she must learn to overcome and realize on her own.
All he could do was to help her remove any potential elements of unnoticeable unfairness, allowing her to compete fairly and reach her potential.
Nanxi is a very well-behaved child, with a subdued character.
She is not one to easily offend others, which makes it hard for people to dislike her.
However, the workplace is a brutal battlefield.
Everyone knows its cruelty, but unless you really immerse yourself in it, you will never know where its true harshness lies.
âOh, I forgot to tell you something.
Your roommate, Han Baobao, Shaojingâs younger sister, will also start today!
She called you earlierâ¦â He paused before adding, âI took the call.â
So thatâs how he saw her contact name in his call history!
Nanxi was stunned, she responded with an âohâ.
She did not expect Han Baobao to join KING Group with her.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
After all, Han Shaojing and Lu Yinchu are good friends.
As the sister of a friend, itâs only a matter of asking if she wanted to work at his company.
Itâs that simple.
âWhatâs the matter?â
Lu Yinchu looked at her.
When it comes to the dormitory situation, Lu Yinchu doesnât know much about it.
He understood that the relationship between Nanxi, Yang Su, and Lan Qiqi is relatively good.
On the other hand, her relationship with Han Baobao is just average.
âNothing!
Itâs good!â
âGood!
With a familiar person around, you might feel more comfortable at work.â
Lu Yinchu paused before saying, âDonât be nervous.
Working at your boyfriendâs company isnât as scary as it seems.
Be confident!â
Nanxi stuck out her tongue.
Not nervous, she would indeed be strange not to be.
And confidence isnât something you can only gain by simply stating it.
She would do her best, but complete confidence was still lacking.
It took about five minutes to reach the KING Group.
Nanxi got out of the car.
This was her own request.
She couldnât go to the company with Lu Yinchu, especially on the first day.
âNanxi, donât be afraid, I am near you!â
âI know!â Nanxi responded.
âIf you encounter any problems, call Guan La, she will help you deal with it, or you can reach out to Mo Yan!â He kissed her forehead, holding her hand, offering encouragement.
Nanxi blinked her eyes, and kept nodding.
Once Lu Yinchuâs car drove away, Nanxi took a deep breath, hailed a taxi, and received a text message on her way from Han Baobao: âNanxi, is this you?
Call me backâ¦â
Nanxi bit her lip and dialed back.
The call was picked up quickly.
âNanxi, you finally picked up!â Han Baobao couldnât hide her excitement.
Nanxi: ââ¦â
She cleared her throat, âUm, Baobaoâ¦â
âNanxi, Iâll be at the entrance of the KING Group in about five minutes.
Wait for me.
I am scared to go alone!â
ââ¦?â
Scared, of what?
Nanxi furrowed her brow and nodded, âOkay, Iâm almost there too!â
When she got off the cab, Han Baobao hadnât arrived yet.
Looking at this towering skyscraper, Nanxi couldnât help but feel intimated.
However, she thought back to Lu Yinchuâs words and the contact name he saved her as; her heart was warm, very warm!
On the top floor of this building, her manâperhaps he was far away, looking at her from a distance.
Han Baobao soon arrived, almost crying out in excitement when she saw Nanxi.
She grabbed Nanxiâs arm and hurried over to the Human Resources Department to register.
The HR staff looked at their outfits, especially Han Baobaoâs, and frowned slightly.
âFirst, go to the Logistics Department to get your employee uniforms.
In our company, only managers can wear whatever they want.
Other employees must not!â
Walking to the Logistics Department, Han Baobao showed her dissatisfaction, âWhy canât we wear what we want?
Does the company look good with everyone wearing the same thing?
Nanxi, go talk to your Lu gods and change these ridiculous rulesâ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
They got their work clothes and changed into them in the staff resting room.
They generally fit well and looked quite professional.
Nanxi liked it, it made her feel like she had finally started working!
However, Han Baobao was dissatisfied with how she looked in these dark-colored outfits that seemingly aged her ten years!
Nanxi was speechless.
At the age of ten, was it really that exaggerated?
-_-III â¦îîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîî
The two were temporarily assigned to intern at the Administrative Department.
Nanxi had some previous experience with internships, so she adjusted quite well!
As for Han Baobao, she had worked less than a day at her first job and had received âspecialâ treatment.
Now at KING, with no special treatment, her tasks were more or less similar to Nanxiâs.
The first half of the morning was easy, but by afternoon, they both felt tired and their enthusiasm had significantly dwindled.
When the pair went to the restroom together, Baobao began to complain to Nanxi, âNanxi, we worked our butts off to get to KING, only to do odd jobs all the time!â
Odd jobs?
Nanxi frowned at the word.
Wasnât that the norm for a fresh intern with no job experience?
âNanxi, itâs different for me.
I donât care, but how could Lu Yinchu bear to let you do this?
Itâs simply inhumane!â
Well, Nanxi chuckled, âActually, itâs not so bad!â
Han Baobao grumbled, âBut we canât be doing odd jobs forever.
Itâs too hard, it will kill us someday!
I wonder if Lu Yinchu knows the hardship we are facing in the Administrative Department!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â Hardship?
Hardly!
âï¹âb sweat When they returned to their designated work area, they found it was slightly obscure.
Nanxi didnât mind, but Baobao didnât like it.
Baobao yearned for a seat by the window, from where she could admire the outdoor scenery when tired.
However, being new to the company, she had no say in the matter.
While Baobao was sitting there contemplating, she saw a colleague, whose seat was by the window, pass by.
She remembered where her colleagueâs seat was, and so she reached out and pulled her aside, asking, âHey, can we swap seats?â
The colleague: ââ¦â
âThe thing isâ¦â Baobao explained, âI donât intend to stay long at KING.
Iâm here because my brother, whoâs a friend of CEO Lu, threw me in here for training.
You know my brother?
He often comes to KING.
His name is Han Shaojing!
Heâs the CEO of Yueting Groupâ¦â
The colleague was stunned.
Of course she knew who Han Shaojing was and his relation to Lu Yinchu.
This girl was also surnamed Han, and called Han Baobao.
Although what she said might be true or not, it was better to trust just in case!
This colleague had been at KING for about a year and did not dare to offend anyone.
She nodded and laughed, ââ¦Sure!â
âReally?â Han Baobao jumped with joy.
âThank you so much!
Iâll tell my brother about your kindness, and he will tell Lu, and help you get promoted and get a raise!
Oh, by the way, whatâs your name?â
The colleague: ââ¦â
Nanxi, standing aside, frowned slightly.
Unlike Han Baobao, she wanted to establish her career independently without having any connection with Lu Yinchu.
However, not everyone shared her ambition.
As for Han Baobao, Nanxi was in no position to criticize her.
Itâs not a bad thing to utilize nepotistic connections if you have them.
Itâs just that not everyoneâs in such a position.
Nanxi felt disappointed.
She didnât expect Lu Yinchuâs company to also have such nepotistic rules!
In the following hours, Nanxi remained as busy as ever, while Baobaoâs workload became significantly lighter.
Almost at the end of the workday, Lu Yinchu called her, asking her to come to the rooftop once she finished and wait for him so they could leave together.
Nanxi nodded, âOkay!â
Lu Yinchu could tell something was off from her tone.
He asked, âWhatâs the matter?
Not feeling well?â
âNo!â
Nanxi didnât know what to say to Lu Yinchu.
She didnât want to be a tattletale.
She ended up saying, âYour company is packed with talents.
Itâs quite stressful!â
ââ¦â
Lu Yinchu gave a light cough, âNanxi, youâre a talent yourself!â
Listening to his words of comfort, Nanxi felt somewhat consoled.
She stopped fretting over the matter, responding, âYou should focus on your work now, Iâ¦
Iâll hang up now!â
âAlright.â
Lu Yinchu nodded his head, âNanxi, keep up the good work!
See you in a bit!â
âOkay!â Nanxi hung up the phone, feeling warm inside.
When Nanxi returned to the office, she saw a group of colleagues gathered around Han Baobaoâs desk, seemingly inviting her for a mealâ¦
Someone saw Nanxi and patted her shoulder, âHey, Gu Nanxi, you should come along too.
You and Baobao are new here; we should look after each other.
Since weâre off tomorrow for Saturday, we can have dinner tonight, get to know each other betterâ¦â
âIâ¦â Nanxi wanted to decline when Baobao stood up and pulled her along, âNanxi, itâs rare that people are so warm-hearted.
You should go.
It wouldnât be nice to decline!â
Then, Baobao turned to the crowd and said, âTonight, dinner is on me.
I hope for your continued support during our time here at KING!â
Nanxi didnât know how to refuse, as Baobaoâs words were received with a round of applause!
