“We just need to focus on communication, coordination, and logistical support.
It’s not difficult.”
Zhou Xing briefly explained to Shen Yan and Jian Hong about the work they would be handling after joining the centralized office group.
After hearing Zhou Xing’s words, Shen Yan started to panic again.
She asked, “When you say communication and coordination, who do we coordinate with? And how?”
Zhou Xing replied, “It could be anyone internally within the company or with government departments.
But for government departments, I have already handled most of the initial communication.
Now, we are just waiting for the project to start.
At most, they might need some materials from us, and we just need to provide them accordingly.”
Halfway through his explanation, Zhou Xing suddenly realized what Shen Yan was actually worried about.
“Don’t worry.
Our department is always a key participant in all major and minor meetings.
Usually, we won’t be required to speak.
We just need to ensure logistical support.”
Shen Yan responded with an “Oh,” but she didn’t feel reassured at all.
Providing materials was not an issue, but she didn’t even know all the people in her own company.
How was she supposed to communicate effectively?
“Besides, this project has a generous bonus.
Work hard.”
Zhou Xing added, emphasizing the most important part.
Shen Yan replied with another “Oh,” but this time, her tone sounded much more determined.
This opportunity she would take it!
Social anxiety?
She could overcome it!
“Will the bonus be reduced?” Shen Yan asked again.
“Reduced?
What do you mean?”
Zhou Xing had never heard of such a thing before.
Shen Yan explained, “My friend told me that project bonuses for interns often get a deduction.”
Seeing Zhou Xing’s confused expression, she immediately regretted bringing it up.
Had she just made a mistake?
Zhou Xing had mentioned before that this was the first time their department had hired interns.
Could it be that he wasn’t even aware that intern bonuses were supposed to be reduced?
Shen Yan nearly slapped herself in frustration.
Why did she have to remind him?
Just as she was feeling regretful, Zhou Xing casually said, “That might be the case.
But by the time the bonus is paid, you will probably have become a full-time employee.”
This time, it was Shen Yan’s turn to be surprised.
She had assumed that project bonuses would be distributed monthly.
Jian Hong chuckled from the side.
“Xiao Shen, don’t let Special Assistant Zhou fool you with his promises.
If this project’s bonus gets distributed before the next Chinese New Year, it would already be considered fast.”
Shen Yan immediately understood.
At most, she would receive one more month of intern salary.
In a few months, she would officially be a full-time employee.
Zhou Xing cleared his throat and said, “Since this is essentially a real estate project, it’s normal for the timeline to be long.
Anyway, you should already be familiar with the project’s overall scope, right?”
Shen Yan nodded.
While writing previous reports, she had reviewed all the available materials.
And from what Zhou Xing had just said, it seemed they wouldn’t be handling the core business aspects.
Zhou Xing continued, “Alright then, Xiao Shen, go back and pack up.
You’ll be joining me in the centralized office upstairs.”
She was being put to work right away?
She thought it would at least be in the afternoon.
After the meeting, Shen Yan still felt uneasy.
She turned to Jian Hong and asked, “Jian Jie, I barely know anyone in the company.
Can I really handle this job?”
Jian Hong, having worked with her for a month, had a general understanding of her personality and reassured her, “If you really can’t manage, just call me.”
Shen Yan immediately responded, “Jie!
You’re the best!”
Jian Hong smiled and added, “But really, it’s not a big deal.
Just ordering coffee and afternoon tea.
It’s nothing complicated.
At most, you’ll need to review the PR department’s promotional materials.
And you’re good at handling documents, aren’t you?”
With Jian Hong as her backup, Shen Yan felt much more confident.
She returned to the office, grabbed her laptop and coffee cup, and followed Zhou Xing upstairs.
On the way, Zhou Xing glanced at her cup and asked, “The fresh milk in the pantry did you buy it?”
Shen Yan nodded.
Since unknowingly drinking a lot of President Lu’s fresh milk before, she had felt guilty and started buying her own.
But she also noticed that her milk was being consumed very quickly.
“Yeah, I bought it.”
Zhou Xing asked, “Didn’t you notice it’s being used up really fast?”
Shen Yan wasn’t too concerned.
“I did.
But didn’t you say that pantry supplies are generally shared?
Maybe someone else drank it?”
Zhou Xing: !!!
“Is something wrong?”
Shen Yan felt a sudden wave of anxiety.
Had someone been drinking her milk without permission?
That couldn’t be the case she had bought the same brand that Lu always kept in the fridge.
Zhou Xing hesitated for a moment before tactfully saying, “Xiao Shen, considering you’re still an intern…”
Zhou Xing originally wanted to say, *You’re just an intern, earning only 7,000 yuan a month, and renting in an expensive city like S.
You really don’t need to be buying premium fresh milk for the whole office to drink.*
But he realized this might hurt her self-esteem.
After all, she was just trying to do something nice.
Criticizing her kindness wouldn’t be fair.
After a long pause, he finally said, “You don’t need to buy it anymore.”
“Huh?”
Shen Yan was terrified.
Was she about to be arrested for unintentionally poisoning her colleagues?
If something had really happened, would this at least count as an accident?
Zhou Xing continued, “From now on, just drink the milk President Lu provides.
If the company is offering perks, we should take advantage of them.”
Shen Yan finally relaxed.
This man had such a dramatic way of speaking!
“Alright.
I only kept restocking it because I found out it was originally President Lu’s.
I was afraid he’d be upset if it was missing.”
Zhou Xing sighed, “After you started refilling it, didn’t you notice people drinking it even more?”
Shen Yan hesitated.
“Well, now that you mention it…”
“Exactly,” Zhou Xing muttered.
He had to admit, she had a point.
