Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Ginkgo Bookmark Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Ginkgo Bookmark The rain outside the window gradually ceased. “Okay, we’re all good now, Mr. Sun. Do you have any questions about our company?” Sun Youguang picked up a disposable paper cup and took a sip of water, moisturizing his dry lips. He began, “I’d like to know about your company’s business situation.” Tang Song nodded, understanding his concerns. He briefly introduced the company’s business development plans. He added, “President Gao had previously been successful in this industry. With this new partnership in founding Songmei Clothing, we hope to build an excellent team and expand our business.” “Understood.” Sun Youguang then inquired about the financial aspects of the company and finally felt reassured. At least this company was legitimate, with detailed business plans, and both bosses were young and easy to talk to. Finally, he asked, “I saw on the recruitment software that you offer five insurances, one housing fund, and weekends off, is that correct?” This was his most pressing concern since he often took part-time delivery jobs over the holidays to save money. And in Yan City, to find accounting work with five insurances and weekends off was too difficult. Tang Song said with a smile, “Yes, the company is new, so once we have someone in HR in place, we’ll enrich the benefits even further, such as meal and communication subsidies, performance bonuses, and annual bonuses.” Sun Youguang’s eyes lit up with much enthusiasm, and he sincerely said, “Great, I have no issues here. I’m very satisfied with our company and eager to get this job opportunity, hoping for an early response from you.” From his experience, he expected they would say something like “we’ll notify you later” since the recruitment had just begun, and he still had to stand out among all the applicants. Regarding job searching, he had prepared for a long battle. However, to his surprise, Tang Song directly said, “Hold on, let us discuss it.” After speaking, he and Gao Mengting left the meeting room. Sun Youguang’s heart tightened unexpectedly; he wasn’t prepared for such a swift decision—was this a judgment of life and death? It was just a few minutes later. “Squeak—” The glass door was pushed open again. The two company leaders re-entered. Gao Mengting looked at him and asked, “Youguang, I see your expected salary is 5.5k, right?” Sun Youguang’s heart skipped a beat; judging by the name calling and conversation, it seemed he was in luck! He quickly replied, “Yes, my impression of our company is very good, and if there’s a chance to join, we can discuss further.” “That’s not what I mean,” Gao Mengting said with a smile, “We’ll go with that salary, and I’ll send you the offer later.” Tang Song added, “Welcome to join Songmei Clothing as our third employee.” Suppressing his emotions of excitement and joy, Sun Youguang stood up and said, “Thank you very much for the leaders’ trust and recognition!” ... Stepping out of the company, Sun Youguang’s umbrella began to sway in his hand. The gloom in his eyes was swept away. In the elevator mirror, his ecstatic reflection shone through. Exiting the Cloud Stream Building’s main entrance, the rain had already stopped. He took a photo of the towering office building. Cheking the time, it was 10:20. He boarded Metro Line 1, got off at his familiar stop, and made his way toward the bus station. His phone buzzed along the way; it was an email notification from “Songmei Clothing.” Employment Letter.PDF Sun Youguang immediately halted, clicked to view the attachment. “Dear Mr. Sun Youguang, We are delighted to inform you that you have officially joined Songmei Clothing as our team member. ...” Sun Youguang read the letter several times, then put away his phone. He immediately stopped a taxi at the roadside and headed to the nearby market. He bought two pounds of fresh brisket and two marinated pig’s feet, rushing back home with them. Upon opening the door and entering the kitchen, indeed he saw his girlfriend cutting meat. Noticing his sudden appearance, his girlfriend exclaimed, “Dear, how come you’re back so early?” Sun Youguang lifted the bags in his hands, a big smile on his face, “Juan’er, today we are having braised beef, and I got your favorite marinated pig’s feet; one spicy flavor, the other is spicy too.” The girlfriend instantly showed a surprised expression, yet she still couldn’t help but say with some heartache, “It would have been enough to buy just one trotter, they’re so expensive.” “By the way, Juan’er, there’s something big I need to tell you,” Sun Youguang said mysteriously. “What is it?” ... 5 p.m. After seeing off the last candidate, the two sat on the couch, discussing their impressions of the day. They had originally scheduled interviews with six candidates, but only four showed up. Fortunately, the results were fairly good; they had managed to hire both an accountant and a human resources person, who would start the following Monday. The company’s size had suddenly doubled, reaching four people. For such a micro company, many early roles could be doubled up. For instance, the girl in HR, who was tall and good-looking, could also double as the receptionist on a daily basis. Next up was hiring staff related to live broadcast operations, and with the help of HR, it would go much faster. Gao Mengting had already started managing the official Douyin account of Songmei Clothing. She mainly shot videos showing outfit displays, aiming to attract some targeted fans ahead of time. Relying on her graceful figure and excellent looks, she had successfully attracted a group of fans who lacked spending power. Tang Song looked at the comments section of the video, which were all “Beautiful, let’s see the underlayer.” This made him very angry. After all, even he had never seen his business partner’s underlayer! Tang Song turned to his side and examined Gao Mengting next to him. The silk white shirt was somewhat form-fitting, outlining her enticing cleavage. Beneath the gray hip-hugging skirt were some finely textured black stockings. Her slightly tilted legs under the light were filled with captivating charm. Noticing his gaze that lingered just a bit too long, Gao Mengting felt somewhat uneasy and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter, President Tang?” Without thinking, Tang Song blurted out, “Beautiful, let’s see the underlayer.” Gao Mengting, who had been wearing a teasing expression, instantly blushed and pushed him forcefully. Tang Song fell back onto the soft cloud-like sofa, looking at her with a playful smile. ... Since she had to have dinner with a junior and tidy up her apartment, Gao Mengting finished work early. Tang Song sat alone in the general manager’s office of the company, resting his feet on the solid wood desk, holding a book titled “Cognitive Awakening.” As the outside sky grew darker and darker, accompanied by bursts of thunder, rain began to fall with a “pitter-patter.” Around 8 p.m. Tang Song flipped through the last page of “Cognitive Awakening,” slammed the book shut, and looked out the window. Through the reflections on the glass curtain wall, he could clearly see his own silhouette, as if it merged into the layers of rain outside. “Ding! Congratulations Player, you have completed the side quest ‘Cognitive Awakening.’ “You have gained ‘Comprehension +1.’ “You have obtained a special item ‘Ginkgo Bookmark.’ “Whoosh” A pale blue system screen unfolded in front of him. He entered the inventory to check the item details. ‘Ginkgo Bookmark’: Meticulously crafted using autumn-fallen ginkgo leaves. Place it inside the book, document, or text you are reading to effectively enhance your memory by 30% while studying. [Note: Just like this leaf in autumn, though you are steeped in the weather of years, you show no trace of decline in your demeanor.]” He selected ‘Ginkgo Bookmark’ to use it immediately. Suddenly, something extra appeared between his fingers. Tang Song raised his hand and saw a beautiful umbrella-shaped ginkgo leaf, a brilliant golden yellow. It was encapsulated in a thin, transparent material, both flexible and nice to the touch. It even carried a faint fragrance. Tang Song leaned in to smell it. It was refreshing like the foggy air on an autumn morning mixed with a gentle scent of tea and flowers. It was like the scent of some woman. On the other side, there were two elegantly flowing brush-written characters, “Tang Song.”
