Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 696: Chapter 251: Shenghai Journey, Su Zelin’s Divine Assist

Planned the Shenghai trip, departing on New Year’s Eve.

The Zhelu Highway has been open since ’98, and driving from Lin’an to Shenghai takes about two hours. However, even if they leave early in the morning, time is still tight. Hunzi is worried about unexpected situations that might cause him to miss the opening ceremony of the demo store. After all, he has to attend the ribbon-cutting.

To be on the safe side, arriving in Shenghai a night earlier is better.

The last day of 2003, 3:30 in the afternoon.

A bus stopped at a central station, and Lu Haoran got off from the back door.

Xiaoyanzi’s school holiday officially starts around 5 PM. After picking her up, they can head to Shenghai.

Estimating that the time was almost right, the honest man took a bus to meet Su Zelin at Dingsheng Mansion. Hunzi had been busy at the company all day.

This is where Zelin works? So impressive!

Standing before the mansion, he looked up at the towering office building, the bustling street with cars and pedestrians all around, Lu Haoran was in awe.

"Haoran, over here!"

Lu Haoran snapped back to reality.

He saw Su Zelin waving at him from afar at the entrance of the mansion.

It’s still early to pick up Xiaoyanzi; the school is not far away, and driving there at 4:30 doesn’t feel rushed.

Before that, Lu Haoran wanted to tour the New Era headquarters.

Although he knew his buddy held a high position at New Era, the honest man was still quite curious.

Quickly walking to Hunzi, he asked, "Zelin, is it really okay to visit your company’s office building? Won’t it disturb others?"

"It won’t be a disturbance. We have many people coming for business. One more won’t matter. Come on, since you’re here, let’s have a quick look around and then we’ll go!"

Without further ado, Su Zelin took his buddy to the elevator.

"Ding-dong!"

The elevator opened on the floor of the New Era headquarters, and the two stepped out. The first thing they saw was the beautiful receptionist, Zhang Yuying.

"Director."

The receptionist nodded to Su Zelin while her gaze fell on the honest man.

"My friend, Mr. Lu, is here to see me about something."

Su Zelin introduced proactively.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, welcome to New Century Digital."

Zhang Yuying said with a smile.

"Hello, hello."

The honest man, flattered, nodded in return.

Along the way, every employee greeted Su Zelin, which amazed Lu Haoran.

It seems Zelin really has a high status in the company and is well-respected!

Looking around, Lu Haoran was very curious, "Zelin, your company’s office building is really big, and you have so many employees."

"Haha, it’s so-so."

Su Zelin chuckled, "New Era has expanded to other provinces now, and we need to continue recruiting staff at the headquarters. This place will soon be insufficient, and we will build a new headquarters ourselves."

"You mean, build a building for the headquarters yourself?"

Lu Haoran was a bit shocked.

"More or less!"

Building a headquarters showcases the company’s strength, and besides, a property building is a good investment. After all, in the first decade of the 21st century, the hottest industry is real estate. When the conditions permit, Su Zelin will definitely do it. But not now; when New Era can secure a loan of a billion, that’s when it’ll happen.

The honest man wiped his sweat.

Such an ambitious move, he didn’t even dare to imagine it.

He took his buddy to his office.

"Zelin, is this where you work every day? It’s so comfortable."

A thirty-odd square meter private office, with air conditioning and heating on in the winter, keeping the temperature just right, featuring a computer desk and chair, as well as a set of sofas and a tea table for guests. If tired, standing by the large floor-to-ceiling window, you could gaze at the cityscape—so enviable.

Lu Haoran was genuinely jealous.

At this moment, Song Yuwei walked in, carrying a tray with two freshly brewed, steaming cups of tea.

"Boss, Mr. Lu, please have some tea!"

Song Yuwei’s office was just outside. When they came in, Su Zelin introduced her.

"Ah, thank you!"

Flustered, the honest man quickly took the tea with both hands.

At the age of twenty, this was his first time being addressed as "Mr. Lu," and he was quite embarrassed.

"Please, take your time chatting."

Having delivered the tea, Song Yuwei soon left.

"Zelin, why do I feel like your assistant looks familiar?"

The honest man pondered for a while and suddenly recalled something, "Right, isn’t she the manager of the New Era University store?"

Due to Xiaoyanzi, he often visited the university and had been to the store a few times, so he had a slight impression.

"Yes, she was transferred to headquarters only this year. Yuwei is very competent; she’s my right-hand woman."

Su Zelin laughed.

Although Song Yuwei was beautiful, Lu Haoran didn’t notice any special relationship between her and Su Zelin.

After all, not everyone has the keen eyes of Yan Qiuwen.

"Oh, my right-hand man has come too."

Hunzi’s gaze turned to the door.

A charming girl walked in.

Lu Haoran was surprised to see her.

Because she was very young, about his age, looking like a college student.

"My friend, Lu Haoran."

"Qiu Wen, my business advisor!"

Su Zelin simply introduced the two.

Yan Qiuwen’s lips curved into a perfect smile.

Smiling was essential!

She habitually observed for a moment, quickly drawing a conclusion.

IQ below a hundred, and somewhat low emotional intelligence, honest and straightforward type.

However, his relationship with Su Zelin seemed very close.

Withdrawing her gaze.

For someone like Lu Haoran, it was hard for Yan Qiuwen to be interested for more than three seconds.
