Ordinary Road 2010

Lin Yi, like Liu Jianni, only receives a few thousand dollars for living expenses from traveling thousands of miles a month, which is theoretically not much income.

However, Liu Jianni knew how much money Lin Yi got when he sold it on the casual food delivery network before. If he didn't spend it randomly, the cash in his hand should still be quite considerable.

Lin Yi replied without thinking: "There is no budget limit, but there is no need to choose too expensive gifts, we have never given that kind of thing before."

Liu Jianni knew it well, so she took him to a jewelry store and asked the clerk to bring out the brooches for them to choose, and explained to Lin Yi:

"Broochs are not expensive jewelry, but if used well, they can have miraculous effects, and they can show the owner's taste very well, so it is also a test of vision when giving gifts."

She enthusiastically shared this knowledge, but Lin Yi didn't really want to learn it, because he didn't use it much, so he didn't plan to order this skill book.

Men are very pragmatic, so he simply asked for advice: "Then why don't you choose one for me, I trust your vision."

Since the other party was her boss, Liu Jianni resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and after picking through the jewelry box brought up by the clerk for a while, she chose one with pearls.

"This one, I think it fits Mo Yan's temperament quite well. Even if she always wears formal clothes, it can still be matched."

Ok?

Lin Yi found out that Liu Jianni seemed to have misunderstood the reasons for her choice of gifts, but she didn't tell the truth immediately.

Because he thought that since their second entrepreneurial sister served as the COO of Wanli Travel, she has always been the one with the heaviest tasks in the company, and she has worked hard and never complained.

Although Lin Yi has always been aware of her dedication, but for some reason, he is not good at caring too much for her outside of work.

Now even Liu Jianni thinks that when she comes to the United States on a business trip, she should bring a gift to her senior sister when she returns. It doesn't seem awkward to do so, does it?

He was stunned for a very short time, but Liu Jianni was keenly aware of this reaction, and originally wanted to ask one more question: "Didn't you pick it for Mo Yan?"

But it stopped again.

Lin Yi didn't let her suggestion hang in the air for too long. He carefully sized up the brooch Liu Jianni had just chosen, and it was exquisite and unique in his own eyes.

"Okay, just buy this one."

Straight men are usually not too entangled in buying things, as long as the wallet allows it, they will start with it, which saves time.

Seeing that he didn't directly respond to what he said earlier, Liu Jianni still bought the brooch she had chosen for Li Moyan, so she didn't say any more.

But she soon discovered that Lin Yi spent a few minutes at the airport after buying the brooch and bought something casually, which was the kind of "simple tourist souvenir" she just mentioned.

Lin Yi explained that it was for their other partner, CTO Wang Kai, and Liu Jianni expressed her understanding. After all, the two of their partners were on a business trip, and it seemed unreasonable to give only one of the remaining two partners.

But Lin Yi's purchase is not over yet.

This time he put a lot of effort into choosing a white beret, and carefully ordered the clerk to wrap it in a beautiful packaging bag.

This thing is not expensive, but this is not the crux of the problem, it is obvious that this is also a gift for girls, and it is not for Li Moyan.

Lin Yi's mental activity just now was that since Liu Jianni mentioned bringing a gift for the senior sister, he took advantage of the opportunity to buy it.

At the same time, in order to make this action seem to have no other meaning, he also casually brought a copy to the tool man Wang Kai.

But the gift for Gu Caiwei is inevitable, because Liu Jianni has been consulted before, so this time he can only decide by himself.

Fortunately, he remembered that Gu Caiwei likes to collect all kinds of hats, and this hobby has become very well-known among her fans as her popularity has grown.

So he carefully selected one with his own aesthetic standards and prepared to give it to Gu Caiwei, so he fulfilled his intentions.

Picking out gifts is indeed a hassle.

Lin Yi thought in his heart that this kind of thing can be avoided next time, and then he explained casually: "This is for other people."

At that moment, he turned his head to look at Liu Jianni. Although he didn't know how to read minds, he felt that if he hadn't misunderstood, two words were clearly written in the other's eyes:

Scumbag.

Chapter 448 Don't Offend the Female Secretary

No matter what Liu Jianni thought, Lin Yi returned home with these three gifts.

It was another long flight. After landing at the Capital Airport, the two walked out of the terminal building. They had a familiar feeling in the hot summer of Beijing, and it was inevitable that they felt a little warm in their hearts.

Managers like Lin Yi and Liu Jianni don't need to report to any leader, and they don't have to return to the company immediately after a long trip.

However, the two of them didn't intend to be private before public, because it was still early when they left the airport and they were still working, so they simply used their own app to take a taxi to the company.

It's not that they have any strange disease that makes them feel uncomfortable without working, it's just that they have been away for a long time this trip, and they are eager to understand the specific situation in the country.

In addition, the financing situation in the United States is not ideal, and this needs to be known to other team members so that they can arrange their next work.

Entrepreneurship cannot be successful by eating hot pot and singing songs.

In the company, Li Moyan and Wang Kai knew when they would come back, so they rushed over as soon as they showed up at the company.

Lin Yi's office was the largest in the company, so the four of them naturally met here, but he found that there was an extra little tail.

That was Han Xue, who originally claimed to join Wanli Travel to start a business together, just to monitor the relationship between Li Moyan and Lin Yi nearby, and spent three days fishing and two days posting on the net at work.

However, as Li Moyan's work became more and more busy, she already needed a full-time secretary to help her arrange schedules, greet and deliver, upload and distribute, and prepare materials and other auxiliary tasks.

So Han Xue's former self-proclaimed "personal assistant" has gradually become a regular, and the happy days of fishing and working are gone forever. For this reason, Li Moyan also offered her a salary.

Han Xue's position in the company is quite special.

Anyone with work experience or common sense in life knows that the leader's secretary cannot be offended, and such a beautiful female secretary must not be offended.

Wanli Travel is a technology company mainly focused on young people. It has always advocated flat management and internal equality. Although it already has thousands of employees, it does not want to make it too bureaucratic. As the management, Lin Yi and the others set an example by themselves .

Lin Yi himself does not have a full-time secretary, and usually directly reports work matters to the other three managers, or the heads of various departments.

Other small matters are usually arranged to the administrative department, such as renting a house before.

CFO Liu Jianni and CTO Wang Kai also do not have full-time secretaries, but they all have their own departments and subordinates directly under their control, so it is easy to order anything.

In other words, Han Xue is the only secretary in the company.

In addition, she didn't have the slightest sense of being a subordinate, even with Lin Yi, she was rampant, making it difficult for people to figure out her details.

In short, although her position is not high, everyone in the company respects her very much, and newcomers are even more respectful if they don't know it.

As for whether there will be any rumors among colleagues in private, Han Xue doesn't care, she is here to help Li Moyan, as long as she cooperates with her work.

Of course, she didn't deliberately sabotage any official affairs, but she didn't respect Lin Yi, the CEO and big boss, in words and deeds.

For example, now, both expressed their gratitude to Lin Yi for the gift that Lin Yi brought back to Senior Sister and Wang Kai, but Han Xue was very picky and disgusted:

"What, I brought these two things back after a trip to the United States. It looks like I bought them at the airport. I'm not sincere!"

This guy is quite knowledgeable, and Lin Yi didn't deny it: "This trip to the United States is too tight. If there is a chance next time, I will bring you something else."

Han Xue did not let him go easily, and spread her white and tender palm:

"Why do only the COO and CTO have gifts? Is this the designated treatment only for the company's management, and the hard-working little secretary doesn't deserve it?"

Lin Yi said calmly: "Next time."

Han Xue pointed into his luggage bag: "Why do you want to next time, I see that there is still a gift in your bag. It's not something expensive, why don't you just give it to me?"

Unexpectedly, apart from being good at flashing behind others, this woman has sharp eyes, but of course Lin Yi will not show that gift.

He shook his head and said, "This won't work."

"It's okay to see it?"

Han Xue wasn't asking for his opinion, she had already stretched out her hand to pick him up while speaking.

However, Lin Yi's reaction was quick. He was really afraid that Han Xue would take it away directly, so it seemed inconvenient for him to tease her, so he quickly reached out to stop her.

But only by opening a corner of the packaging bag, Han Xue has already seen that the present is a white beret, and she threw it away as soon as Lin stopped it.

"Cut, who cares!"

A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Han Xue's mouth, she deliberately pointed out in front of Li Moyan that there was another gift in Lin Yi's bag.

Since it wasn't for someone in the company, it's self-evident who he brought it back from all the way across the ocean.

However, given that Liu Jianni and Wang Kai were still present, Han Xue just clicked and didn't say much, then she seemed to remember her identity as a secretary, and left from the place where the executives met.

In fact, when Han Xue asked Lin Yi for a gift just now, she acted like a coquettish child, but Li Moyan knew her intentions without saying a word.

Of the other two, Wang Kai had nothing to do with himself. While drinking water tactically, he raised his head to study the ceiling, with "I didn't see anything" written on his face.

Liu Jianni is much more sensitive, and with her experience, of course she would not be confused by this scene, mistakenly thinking that Han Xue and Lin Yi are unclear about something.

She used to think that Han Xue was unscrupulous in front of Lin Yi because she got used to getting along as a senior sister and junior in school, and she didn't change it.

This is harmless, and sometimes it can make the atmosphere between everyone a little more relaxed, and it seems that the team is more humane.

But observing the reactions of these three people just now, and thinking about Lin Yi's performance when picking out gifts, she already understood that the core of the relationship between the three people was Li Moyan.

Although Liu Jianni thought of this, she didn't say anything, and she didn't plan to intervene. She was not a nosy person.

After the topic of gifts passed, the four of them quickly started chatting about work.

Li Moyan and Wang Kai briefed them on the domestic performance during the recent period. Generally speaking, it is stable and good, and an important good news has been notified to them long before returning.

On the other side of the two competitors, Dudu's Cheng Wei met them at the San Francisco airport, and apparently went to the United States to find money, so he didn't do anything for the time being.

The size of Kuaidu has widened the gap with the previous two. Although there were some small moves during this period, the effect was not obvious.

The three parties who have experienced the subsidy war are now very clear that only large-scale subsidies can boost performance in a short period of time, while small-scale and small-scale subsidies can only stimulate user stickiness.

Although all three advertise their registered users, in fact, this number is meaningless. In the industry, the monthly active users that everyone pays attention to are the real users who use the taxi service at least once a month.

As for Uber, although they have not been idle during this period of time, their scale is far from enough compared to the top three in China.

After Lin Yi and Liu Jianni synchronized the progress of the financing with them, they discussed the preparatory plan for maintaining the operation if the financing fails.

Chapter 449 It's Her!

The first meeting after returning to China went straight into the evening, and after it was over, Lin Yi returned to the rental house with his last gift.

He called Gu Caiwei how to give her this gift, but Gu Caiwei said regretfully that their second album of GIVE ME FIVE has just been released, and the recent schedule is very busy, so it is estimated that there will be no chance to meet each other.

Of course, Lin Yi would not send the gift, so he temporarily kept it in his hands and took it out when we meet next time.

On the other side, Li Moyan and Han Xue also returned to the rental house next door.

Han Xue didn't deliberately mention Lin Yi's gift on the way, she felt that the eye drops she took today were enough.

As soon as she got home, she fell down on the soft sofa without any image, muttering: "It's really rare that I got off work so early today."

As Li Moyan's secretary, her working hours naturally follow those of her clients, so Han Xue is miserable, and she is now one of the most intensive people in the company.

Li Moyan ignored her complaints, and was about to tidy up and start washing. Normally, he would go to bed soon.

Although she can't work and rest regularly because of work, it is still necessary to ensure a basic rest time, so as to maintain sufficient physical strength and enough sobriety.

Han Xue curled her lips when she saw Li Moyan enter the bathroom, this guy was like a ruthless working machine.

Although she was such a "boring" person when she first met Li Moyan—the senior sister was still in the student union at that time—she almost gave up all her life since starting her business with Lin Yi.

By the way, I can't take care of my studies anymore, and I haven't even returned to school for a long time with myself.

Han Xue silently cursed Lin Yi, the culprit, in her heart, and sat up from the sofa after lying down for a while and resting enough.

She couldn't stand a life as monotonous as Li Moyan's, and there was nothing to do looking around, so she could only turn on the TV in boredom.

I don't know what kind of program this is, but when it started, it happened to be a song and dance, which helped Han Xue, who was a little sluggish, to refresh herself.

So she took a closer look and realized that it was a music program, and the group performing was relatively unfamiliar.

"GIVE ME FIVE, what's the name, I don't think I've heard it before?"

Although Han Xue was complaining, she didn't change the channel immediately. She watched with great interest, and found that the singing and dancing skills of these five girls were not bad, and all of them were very good-looking.

It seems that the people who form the group have aesthetics.

She doesn't chase stars, and her attention to the entertainment industry is at the level of ordinary people who eat melons. She usually listens to European and American music.

However, Han Xue soon discovered that the scenes in the show can be said to be blatantly favoring one another, and most of the time they follow the very sweet lead singer in the middle of the stage. Experienced people can see that the popularity of the other few combined is not as good as she.

Han Xue quickly recognized that she should have heard this girl sing before.

The second season of "Singer" was very popular at the beginning of the year, which happened to be the time when Wanli Chuxing was fighting the subsidy war.She was too lazy to watch the guests in the studio pretending to be nonsense, so she only listened to the music version.

I have to admit that this girl's singing skills are still very good, and her voice is even more unique. All the songs on the show are worth listening to.

"It seems to be called Vivienne?"

But right now, Han Xue is a little upset that the camera has been chasing her, because Senior Sister Han is not interested in sweet girls, and instead wants to take a closer look at Stella, who has a neutral style.

Li Moyan saw such a scene when she came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, and she was not surprised to find that Han Xue was watching the song and dance of the girl group.
