“Come in.” Wen Yadai’s voice could be heard from within the office.
Hearing this, Nian Xiaomu pushed the door open and walked inside.
Wen Yadai’s office was located in the best spot in the public relations department. The one-way glass walls allowed her to see what went on outside, but people from the outside could not look inside.
She was sitting at the work desk going through some documents.
When she saw Nian Xiaomu enter, she looked up and smiled. “Come, sit here.”
Her warm smile was a refreshing welcome. It felt as if the unpleasant episode from the day before had not even happened.
“Good morning, Manager Wen.” Nian Xiaomu placed the employment paperwork that she was holding onto the work desk.
Wen Yadai did not look at the report, but only smiled even more brightly.
“From the first time I met you, I felt that there was some affinity between the two of us. Who would have guessed that we would become colleagues so quickly. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t submit the employment paperwork. Not only me, but everyone in the department has seen your competency in public relations. Everyone is filled with anticipation at having you join the department.”
As Wen Yadai spoke, she got up from her seat and stretched out her hand.
“Let me welcome you on behalf of the public relations department!”
“…Thank you.” Nian Xiaomu felt rather taken aback, but hurriedly shook Wen Yadai’s hand.
Wen Yadai let go of her hand very quickly.
“Since you have just joined the public relations department, there are many things that you are not familiar with. I have specially arranged for a colleague to guide you along. I hope that you will familiarize yourself with the work of our department as soon as possible.”
As Wen Yadai spoke, a knock sounded from the office door.
A young lady entered from outside and asked, “Manager Wen, were you looking for me?”
“Mmm.” Wen Yadai stood between the two of them and said amicably, “Let me introduce the two of you. This is Nian Xiaomu, the new supervisor in our department.”
Then, Wen Yadai looked at Nian Xiaomu as she pointed at the young lady who had just entered the room.
“This is Ye Mingmin, another supervisor in our public relations department. Since you’re new, I will get her to show you around. You can approach her if there is anything that you don’t understand.
The report that Nian Xiaomu wrote yesterday had impressed everyone.
However, she did not know anything about the public relations department, so she had to have someone show her around in order for her to adapt quickly to the department.
Since she was appointed as a supervisor, a regular employee would not be able to guide her; only another supervisor could do this task.
Wen Yadai’s arrangement was logical and reasonable.
Nian Xiaomu followed Ye Mingmin out of the office. When they got to Xie Jingjing’s work desk, Ye Mingmin asked her to stop and said, “Xie Jingjing has been suspended pending further investigation, so this will be your work desk from now on.”
The rest of the workers in the public relations department gradually arrived.
When they saw Nian Xiaomu, they spontaneously stared at her.
When they noticed that she was standing at Xie Jingjing’s work desk, they looked away and felt rather conflicted.
Only a few interns were bold enough to greet Nian Xiaomu candidly.
Nian Xiaomu’s heart was focused on the doubled salary, so she was not bother by this. When she saw that it was time to start work, she turned toward Ye Mingmin.
“What are my work duties?”
“Familiarize yourself with the environment and the workflow in the public relations department. Although you are a supervisor, you have no prior work-related experience. For the next few days, you will have to go through the basic duties like the interns.”
Ye Mingmin nonchalantly pointed at the photocopier. “You will learn how to make print-outs and do data entry this morning.”
“…” Nian Xiaomu knitted her brow.
She wanted to speak out, but Ye Mingmin had already stepped past her and walked away.
