Chapter 161: The Boss Has Been In A Good Mood Recently

“Be careful on the road. See you tonight.”

Lu An wasn’t willing to let her go so easily. He held her hand and insisted that she kiss him.

Jin Nian gave him an exasperated look, her eyes catching the noticeable hickey on his neck. Her cheeks reddened slightly, and she said in annoyance, “Why are you deliberately showing that off? Hurry up and button your shirt.”

Lu An grinned. “Nope.”

He seemed to take pride in it.

Jin Nian couldn’t do much about him, so she let him be.

Worried that Lu An’s flashy car might draw her colleague’s attention, Jin Nian didn’t dare to linger. She clutched her bag and hurried into the building.

What she didn’t expect was that Lu An would drive into the underground parking lot.

Jin Nian ran, out of breath, and ended up being five minutes late.

As soon as she entered, He Ming teased her, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, you look radiant. You don’t seem sick at all.”

Jin Nian felt a bit guilty hearing the word “radiant” but just rolled her eyes at He Ming.

However, considering Lu An’s exhausting antics, she should be haggard by now, not radiant.

After collecting herself, Jin Nian quickly immersed herself in her busy work.

It was a truly hectic day, so much so that Jin Nian didn’t even have time for a bathroom break.

The current media landscape was tough. Regardless of their past, every media company seemed to be heading towards live-streaming and product promotion.

However, even in product promotion, there were good and bad strategies, and selecting the right products was crucial.

11/11 had risen to prominence in recent years and had become an essential holiday for the Chinese.

For those in the online industry, it was a battlefield.

To win this battle, one needed thorough preparation.

Especially at a time when more and more people were vying for a slice of the cake, figuring out how to get the biggest piece was their most critical task this time.

The current environment was tough, and Jin Nian, who had initially wanted to focus solely on media, had come to terms with it.

So what if she couldn’t figure it all out?

The reality was reality, and Jin Nian had to face it.

After all, she wasn’t someone with grand ideals. It was just a job. She would do what she had to do.

At noon, He Ming came over and asked if Jin Nian wanted to have lunch.

“Sure, I’m hungry too. Let’s go eat.”

While work was important, it couldn’t compete with the importance of a meal.

For people like them in the media industry, time was always scarce. It was a rare occasion for them to come out and have a meal exactly at noon. The restaurant was crowded as a result.

They were initially worried about finding a table, but fortunately, they ran into a few colleagues they had worked with before, so Jin Nian and He Ming ended up sharing a table with them.

Jin Nian figured she would hear her colleagues gossiping about their fiery-tempered boss again today.

“Sister Jin Nian, the blush you’re wearing looks good.”

The speaker was a girl named Xia Yu.

Xia Yu, who had thick glasses due to her nearsightedness, wore them while eating her noodles. The steam from the soup had fogged up her lenses.

Jin Nian handed her a tissue to wipe her glasses and asked, “I remember you guys usually come down for lunch at eleven, right? Why did you wait until now?”

Some companies moved their lunch break earlier to avoid the lunchtime rush. This meant lunchtime ended half an hour earlier.

Xia Yu sighed. “Well, we had no choice. Our boss assigned us a lot of tasks, and we’ve been busy until now.”

Jin Nian gave her a sympathetic look. “We’re not much better off than you guys. We’ve been extremely busy too.”

“Sister Jin Nian, we have a colleague named Jenny. Do you remember him?” Xia Yu suddenly asked while they were eating.

Jin Nian nodded.

Xia Yu’s curiosity was piqued as she grabbed Jin Nian and said mysteriously, “Jenny got fired by our boss.”

He Ming couldn’t help but interject, “Why was he fired?”

Xia Yu shook her head, “I’m not sure either. Maybe he offended someone. Anyway, we all felt that this news was quite sudden.”

At this point, others at the same table asked, “Will the boss come down for lunch?”

Xia Yu replied, “I don’t think so. I’ve been here for a while, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the boss come here for lunch.”

“That’s true.”

“But the boss seems to be in a good mood recently.”

“Maybe they’ve secured another major project..”
