His face was troubled. “This…”
Liu Qin looked understanding and said with a smile, “It’s all a template, don’t worry about it.”
Wen Song was even more confused.
Liu Qin went out to print materials again. Wen Song felt completely bewildered and dizzy. Just then, Zhou Yan Zhi called, asking, “How’s the company?”
Wen Song kept an eye on the doorway, covering the receiver and whispering, “Sir, I think something’s strange.”
“What’s strange?”
“It’s just… they’re too nice to me, strangely nice. As soon as I arrived, the HR sister stamped my internship certificate, the manager wrote a bunch of praise, and the HR sister is incredibly enthusiastic. I’ve had many jobs before, and I’ve never encountered such a nice company.”
“Many jobs?” Zhou Yan Zhi’s voice deepened slightly.
Wen Song furtively watched the doorway, not noticing Zhou Yan Zhi’s reaction, and mumbled, “Yeah, there are a lot of unscrupulous bosses.”
Zhou Yan Zhi was silent on the other end.
“I don’t know what the outsourced company is like, but don’t worry, sir, I can adapt.”
Wen Song was about to say something else when Liu Qin walked in. He quickly said into the receiver, “Sir, someone’s here, I’ll hang up.” Then he smiled at Liu Qin.
Liu Qin asked, “Have you finished reading the contract? Are there any parts you’re unsure about or don’t understand? I can explain them to you.”
Wen Song didn’t dare sign, cautiously asking, “I don’t quite understand about the outsourcing.”
“It’s being assigned to a client company to complete a project. Starting tomorrow, for three months, you’ll be an intern, working with our project team at the client company, following their management system, nine to five, keeping the same working hours as them. The workstation and computer are already prepared. The project isn’t complicated, database migration, but it’s time-sensitive and demanding. I see you have internship experience in your sophomore year, so you should understand a little.”
Wen Song finally had some idea.
“Where am I being sent?”
“You don’t know?” Liu Qin was quite puzzled.
Wen Song doubted his comprehension for the first time, “I… how would I know?”
As the two were staring at each other, someone rushed into the meeting room and asked, “Are you crazy? How could our company get the Yun Tu project? Aren’t we being scammed?”
Wen Song stood up abruptly, “Yun Tu?”
The newcomer glanced at Wen Song, their gaze lingering on his face for a moment before shifting to Liu Qin. Both of them almost said in unison, “It’s really Yun Tu?”
Wen Song confirmed in disbelief, “Yun as in cloud, Tu as in journey?”
Liu Qin shrugged, “Yeah, it’s that Yun Tu, the most famous one in Fei City.” She looked at Wen Song, “You really didn’t know?”
Wen Song was speechless.
What on earth was going on?
How did he end up at his husband’s company?
Did his husband know? Would others think he had a relationship with his husband, and would it negatively impact his husband?
He was completely dumbfounded, listening vaguely to Liu Qin’s explanation of the outsourcing team’s arrangements, not understanding a word. As soon as Liu Qin left, he ran to the stairwell to call Zhou Yan Zhi.
“Sir, what’s going on? I’m actually being sent to Yun Tu.”
“Really? That’s quite a coincidence.” Zhou Yan Zhi’s voice contained an almost imperceptible smile, surprised yet not so surprised.
Wen Song didn’t detect the unusual tone in Zhou Yan Zhi’s voice, and was so anxious he almost cried, “What should I do now? Sir, I don’t think I’m capable enough, and I shouldn’t be at Yun Tu. Should I go tell HR now?”
Before Zhou Yan Zhi could speak, someone pushed open the safety exit door, put an arm around Wen Song’s shoulders, and comforted him, “What’s so scary about Yun Tu? Don’t worry, I’ve got your back.”
Wen Song was stunned.
“We’re from the same school, I’m two years older than you. My name is Xie Baiyu, and we’ll go to Yun Tu together tomorrow.”
The boy had handsome features and a clear voice.
Wen Song’s phone was still on call, the call duration increasing little by little, but Zhou Yan Zhi didn’t speak.
A certain atmosphere made Wen Song uneasy. Even though it was through the phone screen, Wen Song inexplicably felt the alpha pheromones closing in.
“Are you calling your parents? Tell them not to worry,” Xie Baiyu patted Wen Song’s shoulder and winked at him, “Don’t worry, little junior, I’m experienced with outsourcing. No matter how scary Yun Tu is, I’ve got your back.”
Xie Baiyu came and went like a gust of wind, even taking a call before leaving: “Where are we eating tonight? Barbecue again? I’m almost marinated in cumin…”
Wen Song kept staring at his back disappearing around the corner of the stairs before he came to his senses.
This company, from top to bottom, was so strange.
He was about to give up signing the contract and turned to open the stairwell door when he remembered—the call wasn’t over yet. He quickly held the phone to his ear, “Sir, sorry, someone just came.”
There was no sound on the other end.
Wen Song thought Zhou Yan Zhi was busy with other things. After waiting for a while, just as he was hesitating whether to hang up, he heard Zhou Yan Zhi say, “You’re getting acquainted with your new colleague quickly.”
Zhou Yan Zhi said it calmly, but Wen Song felt his tone wasn’t very happy.
“I just met him.”
“Are there only two of you in the project team?”
“I don’t know, I…” Wen Song hesitated, “Sir, I still don’t want to go to Yun Tu.”
“Why?”
“It will affect you.”
“The fact that I’m married is public knowledge.”
Wen Song thought: But I’m not public knowledge.
If others found out that Zhou Yan Zhi married someone who was orphaned and grew up in an orphanage, how would they look at him? Would they laugh at him behind his back?
Wen Song became increasingly afraid.
“Xiao Song, I’m just an ordinary businessman, not so powerful that you need to avoid me everywhere.”
Zhou Yan Zhi understood Wen Song’s worries.
He sighed, and Wen Song heard the helplessness.
The two were silent for a long time. Wen Song suddenly made a decision, and plucked up the courage to ask, “Sir, if I go to your place, would you be unhappy?”
Seeing me from morning till night, would you be annoyed?
If our relationship is exposed, would you hate me?
“No, I’d welcome it.”
These six short words were like a shot of adrenaline. Wen Song suddenly gained confidence, feeling lightheaded.
His husband said he’d welcome it.
Not avoiding him, not hating him, but welcoming him.
If he didn’t go to Yun Tu, he would be letting down his husband’s expectations!
He swore into the phone, “I’ll work hard, sir, I will definitely cooperate with the team to complete the project!”
His fighting spirit soared, and his voice rose.
Zhou Yan Zhi chuckled on the other end.
Wen Song’s cheeks flushed, and he became more and more excited, “Then I’ll report to Yun Tu with my senior tomorrow!”
The other end went silent.
Just then, Liu Qin came out to find Wen Song. Wen Song hurriedly hung up the phone and returned to the meeting room.
He looked over the agreement twice, and finally carefully signed his name.
“Alright, happy cooperation.” Liu Qin extended her hand.
Wen Song blankly extended his hand, “Thank you.”
“No, we should be thanking you.”
“Ah?” Wen Song didn’t understand.
Liu Qin was vague, just winking at him, “Come on, I’ll introduce you to the team members.”
“This outsourcing team has three people. This is Yu Zhengfan, Brother Yu.” She walked to a middle-aged man. The man wore black-rimmed glasses and a gray and white striped windbreaker, looking honest and reliable. He stood up and extended his hand to Wen Song, smiling, “Hello, just call me Lao Yu.”
“Hello Brother Yu, I’m Wen Song.”
“Brother Yu is the team leader for this outsourcing. You’ll follow his instructions on the specific work assignments.”
Wen Song nodded.
“And the other one is… Xie Baiyu?”
Yu Zhengfan said, “I don’t know, maybe he went downstairs to buy coffee?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Baiyu came back with coffee, pushing open the glass door with his elbow, saying to himself, “Here we go, we’re going to Yun Tu tomorrow, this should be the last time I buy coffee for my dear Sister Qin before summer arrives. Matcha latte, Sister Qin’s favorite; iced Americano, Brother Yu’s unchanging favorite, and our new colleague, little junior Wen!”
“Almond latte, how about that?”
Wen Song was embarrassed to take it, but Xie Baiyu forced the coffee into his hand, “Junior, don’t be polite.”
Liu Qin smiled, “He’s like that, a bit too familiar, just get used to it, he’s a good person.”
After Liu Qin’s introduction, Wen Song learned that Brother Yu had resigned from a large factory a few years ago due to health problems. Later, when he got older, he couldn’t find a suitable job, so he joined Peisheng as an outsourcer. He was serious and responsible in his work, but he was a bit quiet and didn’t like to talk to people.
Xie Baiyu, on the other hand, had been working at Peisheng since graduation because he was the manager’s nephew.
Although he was an outsourcer, which was disliked in the industry, he was free and easy in his uncle’s company, without being controlled.
At first, people were wary of his status and kept their distance from him, but after getting to know him for a while, they would find that this young master… was quite likable. Sweet-mouthed, considerate, efficient and uncomplaining, and often acted as a generous benefactor, treating people to meals and buying coffee.
Who wouldn’t like such a personality?
“You’ll become good friends,” Liu Qin said.
Xie Baiyu heard this and laughed, “Definitely, little Wen, are you an omega?”
“Yes.”
“Has anyone ever told you that you’re very cute?”
Wen Song froze. Liu Qin pushed Xie Baiyu’s shoulder and gave him a look, “Don’t tease him.”
Xie Baiyu smiled.
Wen Song found a chance to go to the break room and take his zinc tablets. When he came back, Brother Yu had already started assigning work. He immediately sat down, listening attentively and taking careful notes.
