As the two accompanied Shen Yingjun to survey the land, Shen Yan, who had just been informed at the school, was already on her way with Song Daiyao.
“Daiyao, thank you for going to this trouble for me.”
Her father was truly something else; he came all the way here and didn’t even tell her.
“It’s no trouble, I was planning to come see it anyway.”
Song Daiyao didn’t find it bothersome at all, as she genuinely intended to visit. She could even consider herself a stakeholder in a way, though perhaps she didn’t quite grasp the full implications…
By the time the two arrived, Qiu Xi and the others had also just finished touring the site.
To say they toured was an exaggeration; they had merely familiarized themselves with the terrain. The rest would require time.
“Uncle Shen, Yan Yan is here. Why don’t you go chat with her? I’ll discuss some matters with Pei Wen and the others here, and then I’ll find you later.”
Shen Yingjun nodded, “Alright, you go ahead and be busy.”
With that, Shen Yingjun walked away.
Qiu Xi glanced over and then sat down with Liang Yunfei.
She then looked at the person opposite her, “Pei Wen, this is our first formal meeting, so to speak.”
Pei Wen smiled and nodded, “Mm.”
It was indeed their first time meeting in person. After getting acquainted, they had only video-called once. Subsequent communication for discussing matters had been via phone.
“Alright, since we all know each other, I won’t say too much more.”
“Why don’t you all rest today? We can start working another day.”
Despite the urgency, Qiu Xi understood that haste could not achieve success.
“Sister Xi, we’re fine.”
For some inexplicable reason, after spending a short time together, perhaps influenced by Pei Wen and Shen Yingjun, they continued to address Qiu Xi with such familiarity.
Following Pei Wen’s statement, Song Jingshu and Chu Lanzhi also nodded in agreement.
“Sister Xi, we are very much looking forward to it.”
They were indeed not tired; what they felt more was anticipation.
They had approached Mr. Shen themselves. After seeing the site today, they felt they had made the right decision to come.
Although it might be starting from scratch, this feeling of being involved in a startup from the very beginning was entirely different from their previous experiences of just working for others.
Even though both were technically working, there was a clear distinction.
Therefore, the two were now brimming with enthusiasm, ready to dive in at any moment.
Their proactive attitude left Qiu Xi and Liang Yunfei momentarily stunned.
“You three certainly have a lot of drive. However, we didn’t bring any materials with us today, so it truly has to be another day.”
“You should find a place to rest and settle in for today. The dormitory building is still not ideal for accommodation.”
“Sister Xi, it’s alright. We can just stay here in the office building.”
“Ah? Isn’t that even more tiring?”
“It’s fine, we’re used to it. We three will go buy some portable beds and make do for now.”
“……”
This was something Qiu Xi hadn’t anticipated. Their attitude made Qiu Xi start to wonder if she was underpaying them.
“Never mind, you three should go with Uncle Shen to settle down outside for now.”
“If we have time tonight, we’ll bring the documents over, so you don’t get too antsy.”
The enthusiasm of the three made Qiu Xi feel that if she were any lazier, she’d be letting down these big shots of hers.
Upon hearing this from Qiu Xi, the three immediately nodded with smiles.
“Great! We’ll do as Sister Xi says.”
“……”
Qiu Xi suddenly felt that before she had even begun, she was already being outpaced by her own employees…
This was a first!
She used to be the one pushing others…
However, since the words were out, Qiu Xi didn’t dwell on it further. She pulled Liang Yunfei and headed out.
“Little Feifei, it seems we won’t be getting a good rest tonight…”
Liang Yunfei covered her mouth and chuckled. She understood Qiu Xi’s sentiment.
She used to feel the same way looking at Xiao Xi in the past.
“Xiao Xi, it’s actually quite good. Don’t you want to get things sorted out as soon as possible?”
Qiu Xi replied with a muffled voice, “That’s true!”
This way, she could worry less about her own matters later and focus wholeheartedly.
Liang Yunfei nodded, “Mm.”
“Alright then, let’s buckle down for the night.”
Having come to terms with it, Qiu Xi happily pulled Liang Yunfei outside.
Leaving the three of Pei Wen brimming with excitement, ready to start work.
