113: Chapter 113, give me an explanation? I don't even know what kind of tape I need!

Xia Ning sent a message to Song Ying on WeChat.

"Are you there?"

In less than three seconds, the phone rang; Song Ying was calling.

Xia Ning didn't hesitate for a second and handed the phone directly to Qin Xun. Qin Xun took it and pressed the answer button.

On the other end of the line, Song Ying's lively voice rang out.

"Sister, I'm looking for Brother."

Qin Xun: "That's me."

Song Ying let out a surprised exclamation.

"Brother, it's me, I'm Song Ying."

Qin Xun: "..."

"I know!"

A burst of silver bell-like laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Qin Xun had no intention of catching up with Song Ying and spoke directly.

"Xiao Ying, do you know many internet celebrities right now?"

"Do you have some internet celebrity friends?"

Song Ying: "No."

Qin Xun was stunned, feeling a bit strange.

"Don't people in the same circle add each other as friends?"

Song Ying's voice sounded a bit indignant.

"A few days ago, there were indeed many people who came to add me, but later they all revealed their true intentions; they wanted to get your contact information through me."

She sighed.

"I don't even have it myself, so how could I give it to them?"

"They refused to believe me and kept asking and asking. I found it annoying, so I scolded them, deleted them, and blocked them!"

Qin Xun: "..."

He sighed and gave a bitter smile.

"Then can you add them back?"

"And add them to a group chat? In three days, I will join the group and ask them for a favor."

Song Ying asked.

"What kind of favor? I can help you with it myself!"

Qin Xun laughed.

"I want to conscript them to help me promote something."

Song Ying's voice carried a hint of cunning laughter.

"You're so bad!"

Qin Xun continued.

"Xiao Ying, first find those internet celebrities who are a bit more 'flamboyant' and capable of stirring things up, and add them. The more, the better."

Song Ying laughed.

"How could any internet celebrity not be flamboyant? They're all a bunch of attention seekers."

Xia Ning heard a little bit, turned her head to look at Qin Xun, and pursed her lips.

Song Ying didn't have any extreme reaction to Qin Xun saying "flamboyant"; she just treated "flamboyant" as a perfectly normal word.

Is there no generation gap between the two of them?

Am I really getting old?

On the phone, Song Ying continued.

"Brother, how about the group is named 'Qin Xun's Suicide Squad'?"

Qin Xun shook his head and laughed.

"Call it 'the wind rises'."

Song Ying asked: "What kind of wind?"

Qin Xun replied.

"A demonic wind!"

...

They got off the plane.

While walking out of the airport, Qin Xun instructed Xia Ning.

"Now that we are on someone else's turf, the two of us can't be so laid back. We need to put on a serious act."

Xia Ning: "..."

Put on an act?

I've always been very serious, okay?

The smile on An Ke's face was also slightly awkward.

Someone else's turf?

Sigh... So after being a gaming companion for so long, I am still an "outsider" after all. It was all a waste of devotion in the end!

Qin Xun continued.

"After we leave the airport, we will go directly to discuss with the person in charge of Dudu Tea's Lingnan Province subsidiary, and ask for 50 stores in one area as a pilot project."

"Starting tonight, we will begin the storefront renovations."

Xia Ning nodded.

An Ke was also a bit happy.

She had been following Qin Xun for so many days.

It seemed like today was the first time she had seen him working seriously.

They exited the airport.

Qin Xun was preparing to hail a taxi when he suddenly noticed that Xia Ning's expression didn't look very good.

And An Ke, the girl who always had a gentle smile on her face, had a face covered in frost.

Qin Xun was a bit puzzled.

Are periods contagious?

Suddenly.

An Ke walked up to Qin Xun and bowed in apology.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Xun was confused and turned to look at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning explained coldly.

"No one came to pick us up."

She looked at An Ke.

"This is the local person in charge trying to give us a hard time!"

Qin Xun: "..."

He really hadn't noticed anything wrong earlier; get off the plane, take a taxi yourself to talk business with people.

It turns out that, by convention, someone is supposed to pick you up.

It seems... I, Qin, am still too approachable!

Not enough airs!

An Ke straightened up and looked at Qin Xun.

"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, we have neglected you!"

Qin Xun: "..."

Looking at An Ke's apologetic face, he felt a bit embarrassed.

If not picking someone up is considered neglect, then An Ke had stayed at Oak Company for two days, and I didn't even treat her to a bowl of ramen.

That wouldn't be neglect; that would be an insult!

...

An Ke took out her phone and made a call, speaking loudly enough for Qin Xun and Xia Ning to hear.

"Mr. Qian."

"The regional manager for Lingnan Province didn't come to pick us up. I don't know if they are late or if there's some other sentiment."

"Mm, mm, alright!"

"Bye!"

She hung up the phone.

An Ke looked at Qin Xun, a gentle smile returning to her face.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qian said he will give you an explanation."

"The company headquarters has already emphasized that they must fully cooperate with your work. They seem to have not yet grasped the true weight of the words 'full cooperation'."

Qin Xun: "..."

He didn't know what kind of adhesive tape he should ask for.

...

An Ke hailed a taxi, and they got in.

Ten minutes later.

An Ke received a message, smiled, and forwarded it to Qin Xun.

"Mr. Qin, take a look and see if you are satisfied?"

Qin Xun was a bit curious. He took out his phone and took a look, only to see that An Ke had sent a document on WeChat.

[Appointment and Removal Notice]

[Based on the actual needs of the company's work, the following adjustments are hereby made regarding the person in charge of the Dudu Tea Lingnan subsidiary.]

[Li Honghai is removed from his position as the supervisor of the Dudu Tea Lingnan subsidiary, and An Ke is appointed to temporarily preside over the overall operations of the company.]

[This appointment letter shall take effect from the time of issuance.]

[...]

After reading it, Qin Xun was shocked.

Holy crap!

A regional person in charge for an entire province is gone just like that?

This unlucky guy named Li Honghai, I haven't even met him yet!

And he's already been sacked?

Qin Xun looked at An Ke, his expression somewhat awkward.

"Ms. An, what if he just woke up late?"

An Ke said coldly.

"Then he deserved to be sacked."

Qin Xun thought about how he often woke up late and felt a bit embarrassed.

"What if he was stuck in traffic on the way?"

An Ke immediately replied.

"If he truly valued this, he absolutely wouldn't be thinking about cutting it close; he would definitely have arrived early."

Hearing this, Xia Ning agreed very much, nodded, and then stared at Qin Xun without blinking.

Qin Xun: "????"

Li Honghai, I'm sorry!

You died so miserably!

He glanced at An Ke, reached out his hand, and shook hers.

"Ms. An, congratulations on your successful usurpation!"

An Ke: "..."

Qin Xun continued.

"Since Ms. An has become the regional person in charge of Lingnan Province, we won't go to the local company headquarters; we'll go directly to find a store."

An Ke was a bit curious.

"Mr. Qin, what are you going to the store for?"

Qin Xun said.

"I want to develop a few products within today and complete Dudu Tea's product portfolio."

An Ke: "..."

In an instant, she felt a lot of pressure, and surprisingly, she felt a bit envious of Li Honghai.

Developing products within a day, and several of them?

And completing a product portfolio?
