Lin Yuan nodded his head.
The pany’s location was a bit remote, but the advantage of this was a nicer surrounding environment with more open space. The three-floor pany was far smaller in scale pared to the headquarters. Hearing about the difficulty of the branch’s development, Lin Yuan could understand.
The building didn’t have an elevator.
The two had to climb the stairs.
Lin Yuan didn’t find it too bothersome as he followed Gu Dong through a tour of the pany. As they passed the second floor workspace, many employees curiously glanced at Lin Yuan trailing behind Gu dong.
“Gu Dong has brought someone back?”
“Is that person a representative sent by the headquarters?”
“Why does he look so young?”
“Perhaps they sent him here because he’s young and easy to bully. Our shitty pany has never been a priority for the headquarters. The manager had to ask for several months before they were willing to send someone here. Now, it’s clear that they’re treating this guy as a lifesaver, pletely forgetting that a single person can’t save a sinking ship…”
“I doubt he has even graduated yet.”
“I’m now worried that our pany will shut down this year. Sending over a youngster seems like they’re just making a show of effort. It’s not easy finding a job these days, have you all secured your next positions?”
“Don’t speculate, I’m a loyal employee!”
“You’ve really got the nerve! You had a great record of job hopping five times before ing to our pany. If it wasn’t for our desperate need for manpower, HR wouldn’t have even hired you.”

Unaware of the office chatter, Lin Yuan, led by Gu Dong, had entered his office. Although the office was not large, it had a nice view. Gazing outside the window, he saw a large grass field, reminding him of his position at the headquarters.
A nameplate sat on his desk
Headquarter Representative: Xian Yu
His black office desk was plemented by the fresh plants set around the room, evidently cared for ahead of time. “We can hold a meeting later to introduce you to the staff. The manager would like to host a wele ceremony for you tonight. He attaches great importance to your arrival!”
Gu Dong said, with a smiling face.
Behind her smile, however, was bitterness: “Dad seemed eager to have someone sent to us from the headquarters, placing all hope on this representative. However, the situation with the branch is not something one person could simply resolve.”
“No need.”
Lin Yuan refused flatly.
He didn’t care for wele ceremonies. At present, he had a more important concern: “How is my acmodation arranged? Is it close to Qi Continent Art Academy? Would it be convenient for me to go to school?”
GuDong: “…”
Her heart sank even more.
This representative was still a student. When the headquarters sent him, they made it clear over the phone. Zhou Ruiming also called the manager to repeatedly emphasize: “Xian Yu es to Qi Continent primarily to study. He is going as an exchange student of Qin Art.”
The underlying message was clear.
Don’t give Xian Yu too much work.
Gathering herself, Gu Dong smiled weakly: “The place you’ll be staying is a bit far from the pany, but it’s very close to your school. This was a special request from the headquarters. We have already rented an apartment for you. The rent will be covered by our branch.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Yuan was relieved.
At this moment, a motion erupted from outside the room. The specific content was unclear, but Lin Yuan could grasp the gist of it: “If your pany can’t handle it, why not contact your headquarters? We signed the agreement based on Starlight headquarters’ reputation. You assured us…”
The voices got closer.
Lin Yuan heard a middle-aged man apologizing: “We will prepare a few more songs to send to you that will surely satisfy you. We had great cooperation before, and we hold your orders in high regard…”
Before he could finish the sentence,
A few men wearing suits passed by Lin Yuan’s office. Seeing the name plate outside the office, they immediately stopped: “When did your headquarters send a representative? Why didn’t you inform us?”
The door was left open.
The leader spotted Lin Yuan standing behind the desk instantly, and seeing the name plate on the desk, he raised his voice: “Are you the representative sent by Starlight’s headquarters? Please contact them for us. Your branch cannot handle our order, ask them to do it. We did sign a contract in black and white!”
“Our representative just arrived…”
The apologetic voice sounded again, and a middle-aged man with a slight belly, looking embarrassed, appeared at the door. He bowed to Lin Yuan and escorted the group out of the pany. Their voices gradually faded.
Lin Yuan asked, “Who was that?”
Gu Dong admitted helplessly: “That’s the branch’s general manager, Gu Qiangyun, also my father. The group that just left is our biggest client at the moment. We had several collaborations before, however, this time they were not satisfied with the work we turned in, so they came to urge us. This is not the first time something like this has happened.”
“Oh.”
Lin Yuan sat down.
Seeing Lin Yuan’s lack of reaction, Gu Dong couldn’t help but feel disappointed. On second thought, she felt that she was presumptuous, how could the branch’s predicaments be resolved just by the arrival of a representative from the headquarters?
