On the other side, Gu Dong drove back to the company.
When passing by the second floor, employees from the music composition took
a few glances around.
They saw that the representative from head office had not followed, so they quickly surrounded Gu Dong.
“Where is he?”
“He went off work already?”
“So domineering! Coming and going as he pleases, that’s something only an executive could do. Indeed the Great Old One from headquarters, completely dismissive of our branch office.”
“What’s the deal with this dude from the head office?”
“He looks so young, can he make it?”
“After all, a novice is unlikely to work out. How can one person save our entire branch office?”
“Who is he?”

Ou Dong glanced at everyone and said: “Don’t you have mobile phones? Google
it yourselves, Xian Yu… the ‘Xian’ from ‘Envy’, ‘Jealousy’, and ‘Hate’… and ‘Yu from ‘Sashimi’.”
“Sounds familiar?”
Someone opened their mouth doubtfully.
Everyone began to take out their phones to search.
Because the distance was too great and the regional cultures were different, the information they found was relatively general, but it was still enough to surprise many people:
“A top-tier composer?”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of such a young top-tier composer. Could he be
the legendary genius? He seems capable for his age.”
“Of course, otherwise why would he be chosen as our representative?”
“But it seems that he just became a top-tier composer and was sent to our branch office. Why didn’t the headquarters send someone more experienced.”
“Maybe he’s really capable?”
“I don’t know about capability, but definitely arrogant. He left work early on his first day. As a representative from the head office, he is of the same rank as our manager. No one can control him. I guess the manager also dares not. After all, the company is relying on him to bring in projects and ease the situation.
“Wait, wasn’t he the creator of ‘Big Fish’?”
“That song was also very popular In Qi Continent. It’s the theme song of the movie ‘Dragon Fish Dance’. Did the head office send him here thinking that he has had previous success?”
“Enough with that.”
The group was full of lively discussion.
Gu Dong proceeded to the third floor.
She entered the CEO’s office and called out: “Dad…”
Gu Qiangyun said dissatisfiedly; “How many times have I told you, call me manager in the company.”
“Manager Daddy?”
“That sounds so weird?”
“Mr. Gu!”
“Hmm, what is it?”
Gu Qiangyun stood up nervously: “Was Mr. Lin satisfied with the house?”
“He was quite satisfied with the house.”
Gu Dong complained: “But don’t you think he’s too arrogant? On his first day, he didn’t even want to work. I spent half of yesterday cleaning his office. Can you please hire a cleaner?”
“No.”
Gu Qiangyun said, “The company’s performance isn’t good. Hiring a cleaner would increase expenses. You and the staff can do some cleaning. Even as the manager, I clean the office myself. I didn’t ask you to clean the bathroom.”
Gu Dong:
Gu Qiangyun frowned, and then a glimmer of hope lit up his face: “However, with Mr. Lin here, he should be able to help us alleviate some pressure…”
“You’re thinking too optimistically.”
Gu Dong recalled previous events: “I showed him the order, thinking that he was eager to work, but he didn’t even look at it and asked for a place to live. I guess he’s already forgotten about the order.”
“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t remember it now. We can remind him later.”
Gu Qiangyun really regarded Lin Yuan as a lifesaver: “Didn’t you askyour friend for information on him? He’s quite famous in Qin Continent, after all, he is a top-tier composer.”
“Mr. Gu.”
Gu Dong sighed: “But he’s just a student after all, and a new top-tier composer.
He is not the seasoned master you were expecting. Do you think he came because of our branch office?
Gu Qiangyun became restless: “What do you mean by that?”
Gu Dong shrugged, resigned to the facts: “As a student, it would already be pretty good if he could work two days a week. Exchange students are usually very busy. Therefore, I suspect that he came to Qi Continent to study as an exchange student, not for work at our company.”
“That seems to be the case…”
When Gu Qiangyun remembered the call he had with 01′ Zhou and considered the current situation, he began to understand. He became despondent.
“In other words, the head office never planned to care about our branch. It just so happened that a top-tier composer was coming to Qi Continent as an exchange student. In order to keep up appearances, they gave him the title of representative. So, it was… very incidental, taking up the position as branch representative was just a side job?
“This is probably the truth. Therefore, I advise you not to have too high expectations. We are, after all, just his nannies.” Gu Dong said, trying to hold back her sadness.
She couldn’t bear to disappoint her father further.
Exchange students usually don’t stay more than a school year, less than one year in total.
Rescuing a company within such a short time?
It was an unrealistic task.
If he could stay a few years longer, there might be some hope.
“Look on the bright side. No matter what, Mr. Lin is a top-tier composer. In a year’s time, even if he could help with one or two projects, it would still be sufficient to keep us afloat.”
Gu Qiangyun tried to cheer himself up.
Gu Dong squeezed out a comforting smile and walked away.
ou Qiangyun called out: “Wait, don’t you have Mr. Lin’s contact into? Add him to our company group chat so he can get familiar with the environment.”
“Got it.”
Gu Dong took out her phone and added Lin Yuan to the group chat.
There was a total of one hundred and twenty-five people in the group, making Lin Yuan the one hundred and twenty-sixth.
“Welcome!”
As soon as he saw Lin Yuan join the group, Gu Qiangyun immediately began to send red packets, starting with one hundred yuan…
Biting his lip, Gu Qiangyun changed it to three hundred yuan and sent out the red packets.
Everyone grabbed eagerly.
it was surprising to see that the person with the fastest hand was Lin Yuan!
Although the amount he grabbed was just two cents.
“Welcome!”
“Welcome!”
The other people in the group also shouted ‘welcome’.
“Thank you.”
Lin Yuan politely replied to everyone, and then @ed manager Gu Qiangyun: “Can we get a new order as soon as possible?
Gu Qiangyun was startled.
Hearing him say that, where on earth would our lousy company get a new order from’ The one we have on hand is an order we managed to negotiate a few months ago, and it seems it’s about to fall through, given that the headquarters is no longer interested in us…
“Hey.”
Next door in her office.
Gu Dong sighed.
But Gu Qiangyun dared not get angry and carefully @ed Lin Yuan in response; “Mr. Lin, we can slowly discuss new orders, but we should take things one step at a time. We need to first complete the order we currently have. Take a look at the order in your hand.”
Lin Yuan: “It’s already done.”
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, the entire group chat fell silent.
Everyone in the group was silent for several minutes, and Gu Qiangyun was silent for several minutes too.
Unable to sit still, he carefully studied the text for a long while, investigated the gaps between the words and punctuation several times, and finally confirmed Lin Yuan’s words were indeed—
“Already done.”
At this moment, even the good-tempered Gu Qiangyun, felt somewhat aggravated. He wanted to ask Lin Yuan:
Hey, are you messing with me? Do you find it fun to fool me?
From the time you left work early to now, it’s only been enough time for me to go to the bathroom a few times, assuming that I’m not constipated today. And you’re telling me that the order that has been perturbing our branch office for months…
Is already done?
