Meng Qiao distributed coffee and cake to everyone, ensuring that each person in the entire office received a portion.
There were about twenty people on this floor, everyone got a coffee and a cake, which was rather generous.
Colleagues receiving coffee and cake all smiled and said, "Xiaoqiao, you’re really thoughtful, treating us to coffee on your first day as an intern."
"It’s all part of the job, I’ll surely need to trouble the seniors in the future."
"Is this coffee from that new shop by the entrance? Their stuff is not cheap! Xiaoqiao is not only beautiful but also generous."
"Eh, this cake is actually from Li Ji’s, I heard their business is super good, you need to queue for at least two hours to get it. I always back out when I see the line."
"Yeah, Xiaoqiao, our lunch break is only an hour and a half in total, how did you manage to get it?"
Meng Qiao smiled and said, "I just happen to know the owner of their shop, so if anyone wants their pastries in the future, let me know in advance and I can buy them for everyone."
"Really? That would be great. I really like their cake, just hate waiting in line."
"I feel the same; it tastes good but requires such a long wait, I can only go on weekends."
Meng Qiao said, "Just leave it to me from now on, if you all want to eat, just send me a message."
"Wouldn’t that be troubling you too much?"
"That seems a bit embarrassing," everyone said with a symbolic courtesy, feeling happy inside.
Meng Qiao smiled and said, "It’s not a trouble at all, just a small matter, you all don’t need to be polite with me, I will have many more favors to ask from you all in the future." She kept a low profile, yet gave an impression of being calm and composed.
Not only did it not cause any aversion, it rather made her seem humble and low-key.
"Look at that, no wonder she speaks and handles matters so well after returning from abroad," everyone’s impression of her instantly heightened a great deal.
"If you have anything you don’t understand, just ask us."
"Yeah, yeah, we’re not only drinking your coffee for free."
Watching everyone suddenly becoming familiar with Meng Qiao, Shen Weiyi couldn’t help but sigh, acknowledging that her own social experience was still somewhat lacking.
She hadn’t considered this at all.
"Then I thank the seniors!" Meng Qiao smiled sweetly, and finally glanced in Shen Weiyi’s direction.
She had a cousin working for the Shen Family and had learned from her cousin that the Secretariat only needed one person. That meant, ultimately, either she or Shen Weiyi would have to leave.
From the beginning, they were naturally in competition.
Meng Qiao curved her lips slightly and then picked up a coffee and cake and walked over to Shen Weiyi, saying, "I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I just grabbed a random cup for you, hope you don’t mind?"
"Why would I? Thank you!" Everyone has their own workplace strategies, and having her own little schemes was nothing excessive, she wouldn’t hold it against her.
"I’m glad you like it." Meng Qiao smiled.
She then returned to her own desk, taking two coffees and cakes and placing them at Secretary Jiang’s and Xiao Yao’s desks.
Shen Weiyi noticed that Meng Qiao specifically looked at the labels when picking up the coffees; she wasn’t just picking at random, likely she had previously learned about the preferences of Secretary Jiang and Xiao Yao.
It was clear that this afternoon tea was thoughtfully prepared.
After doing this, Meng Qiao finally picked up another cup of coffee and walked toward Shen Juanzhi’s office.
Shen Weiyi’s eyes couldn’t help but follow her.
