Chapter 753: Chapter 270: Company Team Building, an Opportunity to Keep Yan Qiuwen
May, the spring is enchanting, and the warm breeze is rippling.
A spring rain has washed the entire world, making the sky even more blue and pure.
Su Zelin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, gazing into the distance, but his mind was occupied with thoughts.
Soon, the internship period would end.
When Nanaz returns, he would have to register a company for her.
However, before that, there was a more urgent matter at hand.
And that was how to retain Yan Qiuwen.
If Yan Qiuwen had never appeared in New World, it wouldn’t have mattered to anyone.
Yet, once you have someone as talented as her and realize how useful she is, it becomes difficult to let go when she decides to leave.
But Su Zelin didn’t know what mattered most to her, making it hard to address the issue effectively.
Perhaps for a girl like Yan Qiuwen, the only thing she truly cared about was her family.
However, persuading her parents to help convince Yan Qiuwen was difficult.
After all, aside from that one meal together, there was no real relationship between them.
Even if the Yan family accepted that ink painting, it was clearly not enough.
The sound of high heels came from behind.
Su Zelin didn’t even have to turn around to guess who it was.
Everyone’s footsteps were different in terms of weight and frequency.
Turning his head, it was indeed Yan Qiuwen.
After the usual Q&A game, Su Zelin casually asked, "Qiuwen, the department is having a team-building karaoke tonight, are you going?"
New Era valued team culture; departments would organize team-building activities often, and as the head of the operations department, these events were initiated by him.
However, team-building had many people, and it was either singing or late-night snacks, set in relatively noisy environments, both of which Yan Qiuwen disliked, so she usually declined.
She was an introvert, and if there was any difference between her and other introverts, it was that she didn’t want to socialize, spending her time and energy on what she considered a waste of time or perhaps because she found others too lacking in intellect to connect with, not that she couldn’t socialize.
Therefore, her social interactions in the company were limited; besides Su Zelin, she often interacted with Song Yuwei because Miss Song was an assistant to the director and had many tasks to coordinate with her.
"Okay."
Yan Qiuwen’s answer surprised Zelin.
Somewhat unexpected.
She actually agreed!
But then he thought of something.
It’s likely that Yan Qiuwen planned to leave the company, which is why she agreed to attend the last team-building event.
If she decided to stay, she probably would have still declined.
Looks like I still couldn’t keep her.
Su Zelin felt a bit dejected and sighed quietly to himself.
Oh well, no matter what, she helped me before; I can’t ask for too much.
He gathered his spirits and forced a smile on his face: "Great, it’s rare for you to come, eight o’clock tonight at Golden Years KTV."
"Got it, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head home first."
Yan Qiuwen nodded slightly.
Just as she left, Song Yuwei arrived.
"Boss, the renovation company called, the house is done, let’s go check it out!"
Without anyone else in the office, Miss Song chirped excitedly as she came in.
During this period, she had frequently visited the construction site with Su Zelin to monitor the renovation progress, eager to move into the new house soon.
Su Zelin did the math; he bought the house at the beginning of March, and now it’s mid-May.
A three-month renovation period had passed for about two months, so the timing was about right.
The renovation company wouldn’t finish too quickly, which would make the owner think the workers were careless, nor too slowly, handing over a few days before the deadline, making the owner think they were dragging.
Hence, about two and a half months was appropriate.
Driving to West Lake. Impression Wind and Moon, Song Yuwei was as joyful as a bird out of a cage.
They arrived at the underground parking of the building, found the purchased parking spot, and then took the elevator to the new house.
The workers had already cleared the renovation debris, and the outcome was visible.
Song Yuwei was instantly amazed.
Now she understood what kind of style Su Zelin referred to as the light luxury style.
Simple yet not casual, completed with sharp lines and a uniform color scheme, yet the details exuded sophistication, seemingly natural and unassuming, concealing a luxurious aura.
If the Western European style was nouveau riche, then the light luxury style was a low-key, reserved noble.
Subtle yet beautiful, luxurious yet invisible!
The more Miss Song looked, the more she appreciated it, the more she liked it.
She was glad she took Su Zelin’s advice.
Once the light luxury renovation appeared, it instantly made the European style seem weak in comparison, especially for girls, as the European style was too strong-tasting, nowhere near as fresh and natural as the light luxury style, yet still able to show off.
The supervisor from the renovation company was already waiting in the house for the inspection.
Su Zelin handed over a cigarette.
"Thank you, boss."
The supervisor took the cigarette but did not light it.
After all, it was in someone else’s new house, and some female owners were extremely averse to smoking.
Other people’s boyfriends could smoke, but that didn’t mean you could.
"Miss Song, your boyfriend has really great taste; this kind of renovation style is currently rare among owners, it’s low-key yet full of substance, and it will surely become a trend in the future. To be honest, our boss’s house is also in this style, and if you add some high-quality soft furnishings, the effect would be simply perfect!"
There was a hint of flattery in the supervisor’s words.
After all, if the owner was happy, the inspection would be easier to pass. Although he had great confidence in his company’s renovation quality, there were some nitpicky owners who deliberately held up the inspection, aiming to make the renovation company shave off some costs.
