Just as she entered the office building, her bag had barely touched the ground when a mug appeared in front of her, and she looked up to see Qin Nan gazing at her with gossip-filled eyes.
“Saw what?” Chi Enen put her bag in the drawer and turned on her computer.
Qin Nan leaned in close, her eyes gleaming, “Just now, that man.”
“I saw he was driving what seemed like a Mercedes-Benz. I couldn’t make out the model, but since it’s a Mercedes-Benz, it has to be from 200,000 at least. He’s pretty tall and has a good build.”
When she saw Enen getting out of a man’s car on the Second Floor, she thought her eyes were deceiving her; after a closer look and indeed it was Enen, she watched from the window for a few more moments.
” Who’s that guy? Early in the morning he’s actually dropping you off for work? Are you two living together now? Didn’t your son throw a fit?” Qin Nan fired off a series of questions, clearly very curious.
Chi Enen, her face covered in metaphorical black lines from frustration, ignored her, moved the mug away, poured herself a cup of water, and went back to her position. Facing Qin Nan’s eyes practically spilling over with curiosity, she rubbed her temple and complained helplessly, “That was the parent of a classmate from Baby Chi’s kindergarten. They were just giving me a ride because I don’t have a car, and it was on their way.”
“You find a Mercedes-Benz just by being on the way?”
“…” Chi Enen really wanted to retort that she had once accidentally ended up in Li Beijue’s bed while working a part-time job. Compared to accidentally sleeping with Master Jue, how could she not happen upon a Mercedes-Benz just by being on the way?
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Qin Nan hesitated a bit, then nudged her with her elbow, “Hey, Enen, that guy doesn’t seem half bad. Is he married?”
Chi Enen knew what she was hinting at, but she truly had no such thoughts about Han Qifeng. So she feigned ignorance, her eyes smiling as she teased Qin Nan, “Why? Did you fall for him at first sight?”
After that, she sighed deeply on purpose, elongating her voice jokingly, “Ah, my poor Brother Wang, still has no clue that in the blink of an eye his daughter-in-law is about to elope- Should I play ‘Passing Smile’ on today’s afternoon live stream? You hurt me, yet you pass by with a smile. Your love is brilliant, my love is fragile-”
Qin Nan’s face flushed red from her teasing, and she covered Chi Enen’s mouth with her hand, shooting her a fierce glare, “Naughty girl, what nonsense are you singing? Don’t sing that again.”
Anyone who could do well in the workplace at a young age couldn’t be short on insight. After sensing Chi Enen had no interest in bringing up Han Qifeng again, Qin Nan didn’t either. She poured half the water from Chi Enen’s cup into her mug, took a sip, scanned the sparse crowd around them, leaned in close to Chi Enen’s ear, and spoke in a low voice, “I’ve got big news for you.”
What news would make the usually steady Sister Nan call it big news? She was a bit curious.
“Our company has been acquired.”
This genuinely surprised Chi Enen. Their radio station was just a local car radio, its performance limited regionally. Although it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t particularly eye-catching either. Moreover, the prospects for car radios were quite limited, with earnings relying solely on advertisement revenue. Who would bother acquiring a radio station?
“Yep, I just got the news. It was Xiao Liu from the Fatty Fish office who told me. It seems the acquiring company intends to integrate all the city radio stations into a complete car radio mutual entertainment industry chain, and our company is part of it. They’re loaded and offered Our boss a number they can’t refuse. Then, they promised to raise the monthly salary for employees by 10% and the sales commission by 5%. Xiao Liu said that Fatty Fish has been so happy these past few days that he can’t stop smiling. Tsk tsk! I heard that he’s been on his knees flattering the new boss’s sponsored lover, busy like no other.”
Qin Nan spoke with indignation. The Fatty Fish she was talking about was their afternoon shift department boss, and he was notorious for being strange, stingy, and mean.
