Chapter 385: Chapter 140: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (27)
"Exactly, exactly. You young people are so sharp," the warehouse supervisor remarked with a laugh. "Spinning off this benefits-related work will make things a lot easier for our department."
With everyone having stated their position, Mr. Chi and Gu Nianchi exchanged a glance, conveying a shared mix of exasperation—their daughter was too brilliant to keep under wraps—and immense pride.
The Director made the final call, and the matter was settled. He also let Chi Yun’er pick two assistants for herself.
Outside the office, Mr. Chi pulled her to a stop, pointing a finger at her. "You’re getting bolder and bolder, aren’t you? Causing such a huge stir without saying a word?"
"You haven’t even been on the job five days, have you?"
’Who would have thought cooling products could be managed like this? It’s practically getting something for nothing!’
Chi Yun’er giggled and caught his finger. "Dad, your daughter is this brilliant because I’m working my butt off to make you look good."
"I just made you look good in there, and you’re not going to praise me? Why are you criticizing me instead?"
Mr. Chi glared at her. "Why didn’t you discuss it with me? What if something had been off? You would have put in all that effort and gotten no credit for it."
"Was that criticism? I was just remarking that our little kitten has grown claws and can now catch mice."
Chi Yun’er giggled, looping her arm through his as they walked out. "Dad, how about you recommend two people for me? You know, the kind who will work hard but aren’t too rigid in their thinking."
"I’m here to do real work, and I don’t want to waste any extra energy on office politics. The last thing I need is to be breaking my back clearing the land, only for someone else to come along, reap the rewards, and then complain that I’m too slow!"
Mr. Chi ruffled her hair. "Don’t worry, I was already thinking about it on the way here. What about Zhao Jinming and Xu Chengfang?"
"They’re a year below you, but you all grew up together and know each other well."
"Their parents are good people, and their children are sensible and diligent. It’s just that they really don’t have what it takes to be doctors, and there are no other positions available. It’s better for them to assist you."
Chi Yun’er blinked.
She’d been so smitten with Jiang Zishi that she’d skipped a grade just for him, causing her to drift apart from her old friends over time.
Hearing those two names was like opening a dusty chest of memories. Back in elementary school, the three of them had been the famous "iron triangle" of the hospital’s residential compound.
’But the problem is, we’ve all grown up. Zhao Jinming is the old Director’s youngest grandson, and Xu Chengfang’s uncle is the top neurosurgeon. Can our relationship really go back to the way it was?’
’Still, as the old saying goes, you can see the adult in the child.’
’I’m willing to give it a try!’
After Chi Yun’er went back, she spent half the day refining her proposal. Before the end of the workday, her two new colleagues reported for duty, looking bright and energetic.
The iron triangle had been broken up since middle school, and now that the three of them were meeting again, things were a little awkward.
Chi Yun’er gave a soft cough, then straightened up and said, "I never thought we’d end up ’playing house’ for real, now that we’re adults."
Her words sent the other two into a daze for a moment as their memories were instantly pulled back to their elementary school days. They smiled and nodded, and much of the distance between them seemed to melt away.
"Whether we can work side-by-side again all depends on if we can pull off this tough assignment," Chi Yun’er said, getting straight to the point. She led them into a small conference room and detailed the first phase of their work.
"Time is tight. The main issue is the back-and-forth shipping, with each trip taking four to five days. However, I’ve already coordinated with the other party. As we ship our goods out, they’ll be shipping their goods to us..."
