Chapter 92: Joining!
"Uncle, it's almost our squad's turn to perform. Once we finish, the training's over, and we have a two-day weekend break. I've already talked to Qingcheng and the others, we're planning to hang out together. Will you join us?"
As the performance drew near, Chu Feifei found a chance and snuck away to send Jiang Feng a message.
Soon, Jiang Feng replied with a simple, "Sure!"
For Jiang Feng, protecting Nangong Qingcheng was his most important task. Since she was going out, he naturally had to accompany her.
Chu Feifei put down her phone, her face full of anticipation.
In fact, two days ago, she had already informed her dad about her intention to visit the Beach Bathing Place owned by the Chu Group, and Chu Renxiong clearly expressed that his daughter had worked hard this past half month and promised a good arrangement.
The Beach Bathing Place was a recent project completed by Chu Renxiong, and it had just started operation. Chu Feifei hadn't even been there yet, so this was a perfect chance to relax.
After the performance ended, Chu Feifei returned to the dormitory and shared her plans with Nangong Qingcheng and Liu Shiyuan. As for Zhang Qinyao, since she was also a dorm mate, it was only natural to invite her along.
Nangong Qingcheng and Liu Shiyuan had no objections. Fifteen days of training had worn them out; each had lost a few pounds and needed a break.
However, Qingcheng wanted to visit Fengming first. She had been away for fifteen days, leaving everything to Bai Zhiqing, and although she trusted her, she was still concerned.
Both Chu Feifei and Liu Shiyuan agreed to accompany her, and Zhang Qinyao, not wanting to be left out, secretly sent a message to Zhou Zikun: "Young Master Kun, I found out that tomorrow Chu Feifei is taking us to her family's Beach Bathing Place."
"Is it the new one in South City? Alright, I got it, keep an eye on things." Zhou Zikun quickly replied.
...
With the training concluded, the school no longer restricted freshmen from going out. The four girls exited through the back door and soon arrived at Fengming Trading.
Nangong Qingcheng acquainted Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan, and Zhang Qinyao with her company, introduced the business, and then formally introduced them to Bai Zhiqing.
"Hey? Qingcheng, from what you said, it sounds like I might have a role in your company. When I do live broadcasts, if I advertise your company's products, it should be helpful, right?" Chu Feifei came up with an idea after touring around.
"That would be great. With your influence in live broadcasting, it wouldn't just be helpful; it could elevate our company swiftly. But we can't afford you," Bai Zhiqing joked.
"Is there a need to afford me? With my relationship with Qingcheng, this is just sisters working together. It's settled; I'll advertise for you in my live broadcasts." Chu Feifei said with a smile.
In fact, aside from genuinely wanting to help Nangong Qingcheng, she also saw this as an opportunity to become part of Fengming and have more chances to interact with Jiang Feng.
Nangong Qingcheng and Bai Zhiqing exchanged bewildered looks, feeling incredulous!
This surprise came too abruptly. They understood what it meant to have Chu Feifei's help in promotions. Currently, live broadcast sales were booming, and those internet celebrities who went viral could drive industries behind them. Not to mention Chu Feifei, a super-popular broadcaster with hundreds of millions of followers!
Even her father's Chu Group didn't get this privilege!
"Qingcheng, Sister Zhiqing, I can also help you sell things, as long as Qingcheng doesn't mind me being a bit clumsy with words..." Liu Shiyuan said timidly.
She was already determined to work-study and earn money for her father's treatment, so working for anyone was the same. She'd rather contribute to her sisters' company!
"Shiyan, if you're willing to join us, that couldn't be better. We mainly sell through WeChat and online, no talking needed." Having interacted for half a month, Nangong Qingcheng knew Liu Shiyuan was hard-working. The three part-time girls including Feng Na were only there for short stints, so having Liu Shiyuan join solved the manpower shortage problem.
Seeing Chu Feifei and Liu Shiyuan both make their stand, Zhang Qinyao, although not keen on staying in such a small company, didn't want to seem unsociable and said with a smile, "Then I can be a model. Your company also sells women's clothing, right? I can do the product shows."
"No problem! Qinyao, you're welcome to join us too!" Nangong Qingcheng beamed.
Needless to say, with Zhang Qinyao's looks and figure, she could effortlessly outshine many internet celebrities.
After the girls settled their plans, Fengming Company expanded just like that amidst laughter and talks, and Chu Feifei suggested a grand dinner in the evening while Nangong Qingcheng offered to host it, as a gesture of appreciation for her sisters' joins.
"By the way, where's Uncle?" Chu Feifei suddenly asked, realizing they were caught up in their own fun and hadn't seen Jiang Feng yet.
"Probably in the security room; I just saw him go out to buy cigarettes," Bai Zhiqing said.
"Let's go see Uncle!" Chu Feifei keenly headed to the back of the warehouse.
This puzzled Nangong Qingcheng. How did Chu Feifei know the location of the security room? When had she visited?
With these questions in mind, the girls followed Chu Feifei to the door of the security room, where Jiang Feng indeed was.
Jiang Feng had seen them arrive long ago and deliberately didn't come out to disrupt them. When he learned Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan, and Zhang Qinyao were joining Fengming in various ways, he was surprised, but he knew it was beneficial for Nangong Qingcheng and Bai Zhiqing, so he said nothing.
"Uncle, Qingcheng said she's treating us to a big meal tonight, and we're not stopping until we're drunk!" Chu Feifei, acting quite familiar, patted Jiang Feng's shoulder with a laugh.
"Okay." Jiang Feng glanced at Nangong Qingcheng and nodded.
Nangong Qingcheng had lots of questions in her mind. Over the past half month, she strictly adhered to school rules and barely touched her phone, so she was unaware of anything, even lagging behind on Heizi's incident.
She decided to find a time to ask Bai Zhiqing what had happened during this period.
"Young Master Kun, I've found out that the guy named Jiang Feng is a security guard at a small company called Fengming, which our other roommate, Nangong Qingcheng, owns. It's a pitifully small-scale business," Zhang Qinyao secretly messaged Zhou Zikun again.
"You're sure he's just a security guard with no background, right?" Zhou Zikun asked.
"Yes, his workplace looks like a dump, and the bed he sleeps on resembles a doghouse!" Zhang Qinyao had snooped around the security room and vividly described it.
"Haha, my little brother was right; Chu Feifei really has unique taste! Keep watching for me!"
"Understood!" Zhang Qinyao quietly put her phone away.
On the other side, Zhou Zikun, assured that Jiang Feng was worthless, felt even more at ease.
"Jiang, you clown, just wait. Sooner or later, I'll make you pay!" A sly, conspiratorial smile curled on his lips.
