"Beep!"
"Mission complete, reward of 100,000 cash, system-wide company small SkyNet coverage has been distributed."
After much renovation, it was finally completed.
As soon as Qiu Xi received the news, the system's voice sounded.
Glancing at the reward she received, Xiao Xi thought about using it in a couple of days after all the company matters were settled.
Now that the company was truly launched, the required funds, as well as the separate sponsorships from her two uncles from the Shen and Song families, had been discussed with Song Jing Shu and others. She considered them as the company's initial startup capital.
Later, after it was operational, it probably wouldn't be so strenuous.
...
Two days later, the celebration banquet.
"Come on, let's toast to our endeavor."
"Cheers!"
In the not-so-large private room, six people raised their glasses together.
After drinking, they sat down.
"Finally, we can start working, I'm already excited."
Having been here for some time, their actual work could now begin.
Chu Lan Zhi pulled Pei Wen along, leaning against each other, their smiles already unrestrained.
He put down the cup he was holding and refilled it.
"Sister Xi, it's all thanks to you, let's have another drink."
Qiu Xi had a slight headache. She never expected that these two subordinates, who looked so refined and gentle, also had the potential to be drunkards…
"Alright, you two drink a little less, you have to work tomorrow!"
"You don't want to be perfunctory to our Sister Xi on your first day of actual work, do you?"
Song Jing Shu, who had been watching for a while, quickly pulled them back.
These two, they might get their boss drunk before they even get drunk themselves.
Meanwhile, Liang Yun Fei, who was on Qiu Xi's other side, also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Song Jing Shu say that.
She had witnessed Xiao Xi's drinking capacity and feared she might have to help her back.
This would be bad enough, but if she started acting out again, she was afraid they wouldn't even make it back and would end up sleeping on the streets.
So she had to keep an eye on things!
Thinking this, Liang Yun Fei pushed a bottle of juice forward, "Xiao Xi, why don't you drink this?"
"Okay..."
Qiu Xi's hand paused, her eyes flickered briefly, but she still took it.
With previous experience, she should remain steady.
"Okay, then Sister Xi will pour the juice, and we'll have another drink."
"And congratulations to Sister Xi for advancing in the competition."
The two good brothers beside them, holding their glasses, started again.
...
After eating and drinking their fill, the group hurried back to the company.
Qiu Xi and Liang Yun Fei, having matters to attend to at the company the next morning, did not leave and slept overnight in the office building's lounge.
The next morning.
Liang Yun Fei, whose mind had been active all night, woke up first.
After tidying herself up, she started looking at the laptop in her hands, preparing for the morning meeting.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that everyone gathered in the conference room.
"Sister Xi, this is the proposal I've drafted recently, please take a look."
The first thing on the agenda was a major item.
Qiu Xi took the rather thick proposal that Song Jing Shu presented.
"Alright, you can just tell me directly, I'll listen first."
"Okay!"
Then, Song Jing Shu explained the contents of the proposal to Qiu Xi, item by item.
Focusing on the company's current situation, as well as the upcoming production research and promotion, Song Jing Shu presented the proposal's content very clearly.
Of course, this was a crucial matter of operating and making money, and there were also things about company recruitment and management that were not omitted from the proposal.
"Good, it's very detailed."
As Qiu Xi listened to Song Jing Shu's explanation, she flipped through the proposal to the end.
"Jing Shu, regarding the business management matters, I've entrusted you and Yun Fei to oversee them from the start."
"And Lan Zhi, while these two girls handle the internal affairs, I'll need your help more with the external aspects. Once things stabilize later, you can learn from each other and grow together."
In Qiu Xi's view, there was strictly no such thing as men handling external affairs and women handling internal affairs.
This was merely a reasonable division of labor required at the beginning of a startup. Once the time was right, everyone should learn more.
She hoped that everyone could hold up their own sky and lead Xi Guang towards the sea of stars.
"As for you, Pei Wen, you'll have to put in extra effort for the research matters."
"I still have a few formulas left here. I'll hand them over to you later. Please take your time to develop them."
Qiu Xi, looking at the proposal, explained one by one the matters she had planned.
"Sister Xi, please rest assured, we will work hard!"
"Mhm."
"Sister Xi, the immediate task for us is to open for business..."
Qiu Xi nodded, "I know that."
Xi Guang's focus was mainly on a high-end route, accumulating experience in the early stages, and then settling down later.
Qiu Xi did not intend to engage in assembly-line production all the time, but rather leaned towards personalized customization.
However, to achieve this goal, there was likely still a long way to go.
Therefore, they had also collaborated with the Shen family in the early stages.
As for their first collaborative project, Uncle Shen had also given her a heads-up long ago.
It was the perfume formula she had given to Pei Wen earlier. After he improved it, Uncle Shen had already set his sights on it.
He had mentioned it to her last time when she went to discuss purchasing equipment with him.
So, when Song Jing Shu mentioned it, Qiu Xi took the opportunity to inform them about it.
"As expected of someone who can be a boss, Sister Xi is truly capable!"
They originally thought they would have to wait for some time, but they didn't expect Sister Xi to have such a long fishing line.
"Alright, no need for such flattery, just get this matter settled as soon as possible."
"Also, the batch of equipment that Pei Wen requested earlier will likely arrive in the next couple of days. Please remember to receive it."
"Okay!"
"Then, let's leave it at that for now. You all should recruit the necessary personnel in the next couple of days and handle the matters I just mentioned."
"As for the subsequent matters, we will proceed as we have discussed, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Xi was the first to stand up.
After sitting here for nearly three hours, she was very tired.
"Xiao Xi, the food we ordered has arrived downstairs. Shall we go eat first?"
Liang Yun Fei was sitting next to Qiu Xi, and after listening attentively for three hours, she was also quite tired.
And the more she interacted, the more she realized that Xiao Xi had many excellent qualities, and she really needed to study hard.
Qiu Xi stood up and nodded, "Mhm."
"Then everyone, let's go downstairs to eat first."
"Okay, Sister Xi."
In fact, it wasn't just Liang Yun Fei; the other three present had even more thoughts.
Although they had been mentally prepared, they were still amazed.
Their boss truly never went into battle unprepared.
This was what led to their current feelings; Sister Xi really seemed to be capable of anything.
Not only was her learning top-notch, but she also approached her career step by step, very steadily!
They admitted to themselves that they couldn't do it...
So, they would follow the big boss and work diligently!
They believed that one day in the future, they could ascend the ranks together.
After all, they felt that their Sister Xi could do it!
