Lin Yuan’s journey to Qi Continent took some gnarly effort due to the route and plane model selected. However, after the activation of the new transportation system, Lin Yuan was surprised to find that he had reached the Qin Continent within only an hour and a half –
Technology changes life.
It is said that the flying iron is also extremely efficient. Lin Yuan plans to try it out later, but he always feels that the flying iron is just an enhanced version of the subway. Similar speeds could probably be achieved by Earth even with a slight advancement in its tech tree. In fact, the fastest land transportation on Earth has already reached super speed.
Arrival at Starlight.
The environment was familiar, but there was no need for Lin Yuan to act as a tour guide this time, as the company had sent someone to greet them. Lin Yuan and others followed the host to a rather spacious meeting room in the company.
After entering the conference room.
Gu Qiangyun and others were a bit restrained and spoke in whispers. Gu Dong, on the other hand, carefully approached Lin Yuan – perhaps Lin Yuan’s composure could give her some sense of security.
“Lin Yuan…”
01′ Zhou came over shortly.
Lin Yuan greeted him.
01′ Zhou laughed: “Good to have you back. You might not have to continue being an exchange student in Qi Continent. I have confirmed with the school, next semester will not be about student exchange, but teacher exchange.” Lin Yuan was curious: “What do you mean?”
01′ Zhou described it in a slightly humorous manner: “Just that your teacher will go to Qi Continent to teach students there, and their teacher in turn, will come over to Qin Art to teach. This means more practical exchanges between both sides. Anyway, both continents will truly become one family. The students there can take exams in our schools and we can do the same there.” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Lin Yuan nodded.
01′ Zhou had other things to take care of, so he left shortly after. He even greeted Gu Qiangyun etc. before he left. Just as 01′ Zhou left, Zhao Jue arrived. Like 01′ Zhou, she had come to meet Lin Yuan, but with less small talk. She just offered a few words of encouragement and spoke generally about the accomplishments Lin Yuan had achieved in the branch company.
After Zhao Jue left.
Gu Qiangyun and others exhaled with relief. Although Gu Qiangyun was the branch manager, he didn’t have much confidence when facing higher-ups from headquarters. Even though the difference in their positions was not that big.
A few minutes later.
The senior executives of the headquarters finally appeared. This was a female leader, the vice president of Starlight headquarters, Han Xiu, who was second to the chairman in terms of real power within the company. Lin Yuan didn’t know her, but she clearly knew Lin Yuan.
“Welcome home.”
Han Xiu extended her hand with a smile.
Lin Yuan shook her hand politely.
Gu Qianggun and others were truly shocked. They had originally thought Lin Yuan was just an ace composer dispatched to the branch by the headquarters. But given Han Xiu, 01′ Zhou, and Zhao Jue’s respective treatment of Lin Yuan, this shattered their previous impressions:
Mr. Lin’s influence is huge!
This is not just any ace composer!
This is clearly a big shot from the headquarters!
However, Gu Dong was more accepting. She had judged that Lin Yuan’s transfer to the branch had nothing to do with his status but was merely because Mr. Lin was a student who needed to study in Qi Continent. For this reason, he was sent to oversee the branch.
Indeed.
With Mr. Lin’s composing skills, how could he be a minor figure at the headquarters? Even among ace composers, how many could easily handle high-value orders like Lin Yuan?
Regardless of people’s thoughts.
After shaking hands with Lin Yuan, Han Xiu directly sat down at the head of the table, this position was closest to Lin Yuan: “The branch’s performance in the past few months has been pretty good. But as I’m sure you all know, in the future, Qi Continent and Qin Continent will merge.”
Everyone nodded.
With so many days passed, many had already absorbed the fact of the merger. But they were all still worried about the future and hadn’t yet fully embraced the changes it had brought.
“So…”
Han Xiu glanced at Lin Yuan and smiled: “The company hopes that some of the people from the branch will come to work at the headquarters. After all, the isolation between the two sides has been completely lifted. However, there’ll still need to be a contact point there. How to choose, is up to you.”
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Han Xiu smiled: “You have enough time to consider, but we would like a response from you all by tomorrow. And I need to remind you all that as transportation becomes more and more developed, it will be easier to commute between the two places. You probably reached the headquarters within two hours today. In the future, it will be even faster. Zhong Continent has already started developing more efficient means of transportation, considering other continents in Blue Star also want to join in this merger plan.”
Everyone nodded.
Han Xiu once again looked towards Lin Yuan: “Then, there are changes in the headquarters. Teacher Admirable Fish has performed outstandingly at the branch, so the headquarters intends to have Teacher Admirable Fish serve as the representative of the ninth-floor choreography department.”
Lin Yuan was startled.
Being a manager himself?
Han Xiu seemed to see Lin Yuan’s confusion and patiently explained, “I know that Teacher Admirable Fish has classes to attend, so Mr. Lin will just be holding a position at the ninth floor, with the actual management handed over to the deputy representative. Of course, the highest decision-making power of that floor will still belong to Mr. Lin.” freeweɓnovel.cøm
Lin Yuan wanted to refuse.
