Chapter 527: Chapter 198: Grand Opening of the Flagship Store—A Crucial Step Expanding from Campus to Downtown!

Song Yuwei was excited at heart.

Before switching jobs, she had already anticipated that the prospects of this new enterprise were very promising, yet the speed of New Era’s development still far exceeded her expectations.

Not long after New Year’s Day this year, when they just came to Lin’an, New Era only had five stores.

In half a year, it had surpassed double digits.

In addition, they added a mobile phone business, expanding their territory from university campuses to the city.

These are changes visible to the naked eye; it feels like riding a rocket into the sky, changing with each passing day.

At this thought, her gaze drifted to Su Zelin’s face beside her.

Every manager was thrilled and full of expectations for the company’s future, yet as the founder, he still maintained an unperturbed and calm demeanor.

Song Yuwei couldn’t help but feel a bit proud.

This company with infinite potential was created by my man, single-handedly!

Speaking of which, the boss’s mentality and composure are so strong, it’s hard to imagine he’s still an eighteen-year-old college student.

That evening, the executives of New Era gathered for a meal.

First, to celebrate the opening of the main store, and second, to let the new management team and others get to know each other, treating it as team building.

The management team had already expanded quite a bit, in addition to Yang Fen, Kang Baohong, and the eleven store managers, they also hired a deputy general manager, a training team supervisor, and a technical and after-sales department manager.

This was also a necessary completion and enhancement of the corporate structure. For a company to grow into a large enterprise, or even a group company, it couldn’t always rely on just a few people to build the kingdom; more talents capable of standing on their own were needed to help, wings gradually becoming full, to make the journey more solid.

Among this management team, the store managers were almost at the lowest level of the pyramid.

However, no one dared to underestimate the youngest store manager, Su Zelin.

Because he was the veteran of the first store, it was said that he had participated in many high-level decisions, and many of today’s marketing strategies of New Era were credited to him.

In conversations with Su Zelin, others even found that his composure, beyond his age, carried a slightly superior aura, definitely not to be compared with ordinary college students and young kids.

The attitudes of Yang Fen and Kang Baohong towards Su Zelin also made the seasoned veterans instantly see that this veteran was definitely a favorite at the front, and if nothing unexpected happened, the store manager position should be temporary, he would be promoted soon.

Brother Xiao Yang’s few old subordinates more or less guessed a bit of Su Zelin’s identity, so they kept a low profile in front of the rookies, and took the initiative to toast multiple times during the meal.

Su Zelin had developed his drinking capacity since college, drinking in one go when toasting without changing his expression; instead, Song Yuwei had a few more drinks, her pretty face becoming incredibly rosy, more beautiful than flowers, and her apricot eyes glistening.

The gathering was full of clinking glasses, and after dinner, it was already eight o’clock at night.

Since everyone needed to drink, no one drove, and they all left by taxi.

Song Yuwei naturally left with Su Zelin.

Away from the others, Song MM spoke up.

"Boss~~"

Her voice was soft and charming, with a deliberate lilt.

Not the natural high-pitched voice of a junior schoolgirl, but still quite enchanting.

Su Zelin understood tacitly.

The fertile field was ready to be irrigated again.

They hailed a taxi by the roadside, and right after getting in, Song Yuwei held onto Su Zelin’s arm tightly, as if she feared letting go would make the rogue disappear without a trace.

Though the time together was still short, Song MM had already regarded Su Zelin as the only person she could rely on in the world.

Dad was a frustrated alcoholic, mom was too weak, and Yutong was still too young.

Only the boss gave a strong sense of security.

But I’m older than him, what if he finds me undesirable after I age?

No, the boss is so good to me, he wouldn’t be someone who loves the new and loathes the old.

But no matter what, there will definitely be many women around him, I need to maintain my competitiveness.

Age is a woman’s greatest enemy; I need to start taking good care of myself now.

Hmm, tonight I’ll apply some moisturizing essence on my face.

...

The next morning, when Su Zelin opened his eyes, Song Yuwei was wrapped around him like an octopus.

The female manager slept soundly, her fresh cherry lips slightly upturned, carrying a satisfied smile.

Her pretty face was rosy, and her skin was in particularly good condition.

This was because she deliberately applied an essence mask last night.

The rogue unconsciously caressed her slender waist gently.

In his previous life, he had countless women, but Song Yuwei’s skin was the best among all his bed partners.

Milky white like milk, silky like satin, this kind of touch was quite wonderful, making it hard to part with.

Su Zelin was very satisfied with everything about Song Yuwei.

She was beautiful and capable, and most importantly, sensible.

The only minor flaw was that she had not yet fully developed.

The little secretary in the past life was a great talent, proficient in everything from playing to singing, but now she was still a bit immature, only able to play a bit for now.

After a while, Song MM woke up.

She rubbed her eyes, and the handsome face that was close at hand gradually became clear in her pupils.

"Boss, good morning!"

She smiled lightly, her jade-like teeth making her smile even more radiant in the morning light.

The girl, full from last night’s meal, was in a great mood, her sweet smile particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Good morning, did you sleep well?"

"Mm, slept very well!"

Song Yuwei thought to herself, being so tired, could it have not been a good sleep?

She turned her back and snuggled into Su Zelin’s chest like a Persian cat, picking up the rogue’s hand and placing it on her flat belly.

Song MM liked this sleeping position between the two, it felt more secure.

The rogue liked it too, because he was very good at one-handed back play.

Very quickly, this morning became not so quiet again.

Not until the sunlight was bright outside did the man and woman finally get up.

Song Yuwei went to the kitchen to make breakfast, specially frying a few eggs.

This active volcano erupted violently each time, making Song MM feel both love and fear, and also worry about his body.

There’s a saying, a drop of lava for three drops of blood.

Each time, Song Yuwei felt like her man was having a massive hemorrhage and needed good nourishment.

Actually, her worry was completely unnecessary, because Su Zelin was naturally a man of particularly abundant energy, even with her by his side, occasionally there were still breaches, so whether to supplement or not had no impact.

Nonetheless, the fried eggs Song MM made were quite delicious.

Don’t underestimate a small fried egg; it actually requires quite a bit of skill, the heat must be just right, and it can’t be broken, otherwise it greatly affects the visual and appetite.

The rogue ate all the fried eggs.

Song Yuwei was very happy; she was very confident in her cooking.

To capture a man’s heart, first, capture his stomach, in this aspect she was undoubtedly more competitive than other women.

Stirring the hot milk in the cup, she casually said, "Oh, by the way, boss, your birthday is coming soon."

Su Zelin’s birthday last year was on the summer solstice, the tail of Gemini, but this year it was a few days earlier.

In Xia Country, the majority of people were used to celebrating the lunar calendar, with a few celebrating the solar calendar, and in later generations, some who pursued a sense of ceremony celebrated both calendars.

But Su Zelin only celebrated his lunar birthday, which was also Jianglan’s custom.

Even if it was a few days earlier, today was only June 7, there were still ten days until his birthday. If it weren’t for Song Yuwei mentioning it, Su Zelin himself hadn’t even remembered.

Song MM deliberately brought up this topic, firstly to show that she cared a lot about Su Zelin, keeping his birthday firmly in mind, and had thought about it early.

Secondly, it was a test; to see what plans he had for that day, and whether she was included in them.

Being able to spend the day with Su Zelin would be great, but if it wasn’t convenient, she wouldn’t force it.

Because Song Yuwei knew that if Su Zelin couldn’t be with her on his birthday, he would find time either before or after to make it up.

There’s no need to fight with other women over the actual birthday, it’s unnecessary for everyone to end up bleeding, and this method of vying for favor is actually more pleasing.

That’s why the little secretary in the past life matched best with the rogue, and the rogue was also very fond of her, for this reason.

"Mm, maybe that day I’ll have a meal and sing K with classmates or something."

Su Zelin pondered for a moment and replied.

"Mm, got it, then how about the night before your birthday, come over to my place, I’ll cook for you and give you a birthday present?"

Song Yuwei retreated and compromised.

"Alright!"

The rogue nodded slightly.

Anyway, there were no plans before the birthday.

Song MM was delighted.

Although it was the night before the birthday, but if nothing unexpected happened, the boss would stay over, after midnight it would be his birthday, it actually counted as spending with him, even if it was the first half of the day, it’s better to have a whole piece rather than fighting over it, right?
