?Chapter 99: Episode 99: Corporate Espionage is Unpreventable 1 Chapter 99: Episode 99: Corporate Espionage is Unpreventable 1 Ever since the internet celebrity project started, the fashion combinations in the model photos shot by 51buy instantly became the hot trend of the season, with an increasing number of manufacturers actively seeking collaborations.

    As the end of the year approached, the manufacturers also started the final sprint of tasks for the year, seemingly desperate to complete or even exceed the tasks that hadn’t been finished during the year.

    The number of advertising contracts was also plentiful like snowflakes, and Zhou Xueyin felt it necessary to find an assistant to help sort these business matters, so she could focus more energy on expanding client partnerships.

    She initially wanted to appoint Sun Miao for the assistant position, but given Sun Miao’s level of competence and unfamiliarity with office software, it was difficult for her to get started quickly. Additionally, her inability to keep confidential also made Zhou Xueyin hesitant to rely heavily on her.

    Looking at the other employees, who were all busy with their tasks and couldn’t break away, she reluctantly continued to post job advertisements, hoping to find a reliable person to help solve some of the problems.

    After several days of screening, a girl named Zhao Caiyun, who also enjoyed playing cosplay, was finally chosen.

    Zhao Caiyun had a harmless, innocent face, especially when she smiled, revealing a small dimple on her right cheek, which gave her a delicate and lovely appeal.

    Not only was she adorable and reliable, she was also very enthusiastic about her job. After joining, she immediately began helping Zhou Xueyin organize documents, a task that extended until the end of the workday.

    “Xiaoyun, you’ve worked hard, you can go off work now, we can continue organizing tomorrow…” Zhou Xueyin said with some compassion as she watched Zhao Caiyun still diligently working.

    “Sister Yinyin, I noticed during the organization process that many manufacturers have only paid the deposit and part of the production fee? But there is still a gap from their stated amounts? What’s happening?” Zhao Caiyun looked puzzledly at Zhou Xueyin.

    “Those depend on the promotional effectiveness; they will pay the final installment if the results meet their expectations. Also, before the contract expires, I will send Wang Xiaoqiang to urge them,” Zhou Xueyin said nonchalantly.

    “I see… Also, what do these symbols mean?” Zhao Caiyun asked, looking at the odd symbols in the documents Zhou Xueyin provided.

    “They don’t have any special meaning; just organize them properly, print them out, and mark them on the document,” Zhou Xueyin said, cautious not to disclose too much as Zhao Caiyun was new. “Okay, it’s about time to leave, continue tomorrow…”

    Zhou Xueyin forcefully closed the notebook in Zhao Caiyun’s hands, urging her to finish up quickly so she could lock the office door.

    “Okay! We will continue tomorrow!” Zhao Caiyun smiled, and began packing her things.

    Zhou Xueyin was quite satisfied with Zhao Caiyun’s work on her first day.

    Customer data that she had been too busy to organize herself was neatly sorted by Zhao Caiyun, and the necessary content was highlighted in different colors, making it easy to understand at a glance.

    Zhou Xueyin highly appreciated her work ability, and Zhao Caiyun smoothly passed the three-day trial work period, officially entering a three-month probation period.

    “Yinyin, I’m leaving first, ha. My childhood friend is coming to Beijing for a trip, and I’m going to show her around!” Yao Shanshan packed her stuff as soon as the workday ended, preparing to leave.

    “Good, that’s great, I’m going out with Jixiang this evening to meet a client, and kk is going to a coding class… don’t come back too late!” Zhou Xueyin nodded, checked the time, and then looked at Li Jinnyeon, “Jixiang, when are we leaving?”

    “Wait for me 20 minutes… Anyway, it’s just near Renmin University, no rush!” Li Jinnyeon hurried to reapply her makeup, “You should reapply your makeup too, don’t meet clients with a bare face!”

    “Exactly, makeup!” Zhou Xueyin also took out her makeup, “Xiaoyun, don’t stay too late today, otherwise Sun Miao can’t lock up, she lives far away…”

    While doing her makeup, Zhou Xueyin kept reminding Zhao Caiyun not to work overtime.

    “Okay, Sister Yinyin, thanks for the hard work, ha!” Although she said that, Zhao Caiyun’s hands didn’t stop working.

    After Zhou Xueyin and Li Jinang were done, they took the materials and went to the elevator lobby, where they surprisingly found Yao Shanshan, who had said she was leaving work 20 minutes earlier.

    “Shanbao? Why are you still waiting for the elevator?” Zhou Xueyin looked at her in surprise.

    “Don’t even mention it, it’s the rush hour now. Every elevator is packed, and it’s impossible to get on…” Yao Shanshan looked helplessly at Zhou Xueyin and Li Jinang.

    “Pfft… Don’t you know that you should go up before you can go down?” Zhou Xueyin said as she pressed the elevator’s up button.

    “You can do that?” Yao Shanshan had never thought of going up with the elevator first during peak hours in order to descend quickly.

    “Of course you can!” Zhou Xueyin smiled.

    “Learned it… We used to miss the rush hour and the elevator was empty. Today, darn it, caught up in the rush hour, I’ve really been standing here for 20 minutes already, and didn’t manage to squeeze onto one…” Yao Shanshan sighed.

    “You’ll get used to it, you’ll get used to it. Haha~” Zhou Xueyin and Li Jinang laughed together, both finding Yao Shanshan sometimes adorably silly.

    “Xiaoyun, are you leaving? I’m locking up!” Sun Miao stood at the reception desk, calling out to Zhao Caiyun.

    “Just 10 more minutes…” Zhao Caiyun didn’t even look up, still busy, “How about you give me the keys, and I’ll lock up?”

    “That works… I have to rush home to take care of my cat who’s giving birth, I really don’t have time to wait for you!” Sun Miao was a cat lover, having many cats at home. Knowing that Zhou Xueyin and others had cats, she often encouraged them to bring them to the office.

    “Cats? Giving birth? Wow! Doesn’t that mean, your house will have a bunch of kittens now?” Zhao Caiyun looked at Sun Miao excitedly, “If it weren’t because I’m new here and need to work hard, I’d really love to come see how cats give birth…”

    “Sorry, even if you want to come, I couldn’t let you. This cat is shy…” As soon as it came to the cats, Sun Miao went on and on.

    “Damn, I got caught up talking about cats! I still haven’t finished my work! Now I have to work overtime again!” Zhao Caiyun said in a plaintive tone, “Give me the keys, I’ll lock; you hurry back!”

    “Alright! You lock up today, before leaving, turn off the air conditioning, make sure the windows are closed, check if all the plugs in the studio are pulled out. Also, take a look at the meeting room, then you can turn off the lights and leave! Thanks!” Sun Miao gave the keys to Zhao Caiyun, and quickly ran downstairs to catch her ride.

    “Phew… finally no more interruptions…” Zhao Caiyun took a deep breath and stretched, “Alright! Back to work!”

    In the office area, she was the only one still tirelessly typing on the computer, sorting out the materials Zhou Xueyin had given her.

    “Hello? Ah, I know, I’ll take pictures right away, don’t worry, don’t worry! Okay, see you in a bit. Although I don’t understand some things, I mostly got it, okay, okay! See you in a bit. Bye, bye~” Zhao Caiyun hung up the phone, took out her camera phone, and started furiously snapping pictures of the screen, also capturing the contents of Zhou Xueyin’s notebook… Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
