Chapter 115: Let your company handle the advertising.

“Um… our boss said that if it’s delicious, we can have a long-term partnership,” Xiao Yu interjected, her eyes fixed on Yan Yixi’s chopsticks.

Yan Yixi finally raised his head, his gaze falling on Su Yingxue. He was silent for a moment before speaking, "How long...have you been doing this?"

“It’s been about half a year,” Su Yingxue replied. “Before, I mainly worked outside making boxed lunches, and I only recently started taking orders from the company.”

“That cold dish…” Yan Yixi picked up a piece of Northeastern cold dish with her chopsticks, and the aroma of the sauce immediately filled her nose. “Did you make the sauce yourself?”

"Yes," Su Yingxue nodded, "It's made with Northeastern-style soybean paste, with some homemade chili oil and minced garlic."

Yan Yixi didn't say anything more, just ate silently. When he took the first sip of the white fungus and lotus seed soup, he visibly relaxed. The soup was sweet and refreshing, the white fungus was cooked to perfection, rich in collagen, the lotus seeds were soft and glutinous, and the slight sourness of the goji berries perfectly balanced the sweetness.

"President Yan, what do you think..." Su Yingxue asked softly.

Yan Yixi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Looking at Su Yingxue's expectant eyes, he gave a rare, almost imperceptible smile: "Next Monday, we'll sign a six-month contract." He paused, then added, "The price will be as stated in the contract; no need to lower it for me."

Xiao Yu stared wide-eyed, unable to believe her ears. Su Yingxue, on the other hand, beamed with delight: "Really? Thank you so much! We'll definitely maintain the quality!"

Yan Yixi stood up and straightened his suit cuffs. "I have to go back to my meeting." He glanced at the second, almost untouched lunchbox. "Um... could you pack this up for me? I'll eat it tonight."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but paused at the door, his back to them, and added, "Tomorrow...at the same time." His voice was deep, yet incredibly clear.

Watching Yan Yixi's departing figure, Su Yingxue couldn't help but laugh out loud. She looked at Xiao Yu: "Your boss just... slipped."

Xiao Yu scratched his head, looking bewildered: "Huh? I... I didn't see it!" But he couldn't help thinking that the way the boss looked at Sister Su just now was indeed different. And the boxed lunch that Yan Yixi had specifically asked to be packed up had clearly proven everything—this usually picky rich second-generation was actually willing to save his lunch for dinner.

afternoon

General Manager Yan's Office

Xiao Yu stood in front of Yan Yixi's desk, holding a file folder, and tapped the edge of the desk lightly with his fingers: "Boss, these are quotes from several advertising companies in the area. Take a look."

Yan Yixi was leaning back in his leather chair, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, but the taste of the tomato and beef brisket hand-pulled noodles he had eaten at noon kept replaying in his mind. The chewy noodles, the tender beef brisket, the sweet and sour tomato broth, and the refreshing sweetness of the white fungus and lotus seed soup... He suddenly snapped back to reality, reached for the file bag, and casually opened it.

Amidst the rustling of pages, a familiar name suddenly caught his eye—"Tengyue Advertising Company." His fingers paused slightly, and his gaze involuntarily lingered on that line of text.

"Hey! Isn't that the lunchbox delivery company downstairs?" Xiao Yu peeked over and suddenly pointed to one of the pages, exclaiming, "Boss, their prices are so low! Almost 10% lower than the others!"

Yan Yixi's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, then relaxed. He carefully recalled the scene at the advertising company downstairs today—the decor was indeed simple, but every employee was working diligently, and even during lunch break, some were studying professional books.

The company environment was ordinary, yet it possessed an inexplicable vitality and harmony. In particular, the boss, Su Yingxue, neither tried to ingratiate herself nor showed displeasure in the face of his cold attitude, maintaining just the right amount of politeness and professionalism.

"Let's use the company downstairs." Yan Yixi closed the file, her voice low and decisive.

Xiao Yu stared at him wide-eyed in disbelief: "Boss, you mean...we'll use Tengyue? They don't even have a decent meeting room!"

“The meeting room is available for rent,” Yan Yixi said casually, his fingers lightly tapping the price list marked “Tengyue Advertising” on the table. “Their staff seem very focused; they’re even studying during their lunch break. And…” He paused, recalling the memorable boxed lunch, “…the price is reasonable.”

Xiao Yu pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but saw Yan Yixi had already picked up the phone and dialed the internal line: "Have the marketing department contact Tengyue Advertising, and tell them it's what I said, a long-term cooperation."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yixi leaned back in his chair, lost in thought. He recalled Su Yingxue's bright eyes, her earnest expression as she introduced the dishes, and the worry in her eyes when she saw him skipping lunch... These details spoke volumes about a company's quality more than any lavish office decor.

“I also think the company downstairs is pretty good.” Xiao Yu was still rambling on, “Their receptionist is especially cute.” As he spoke, the tips of his ears involuntarily turned red.

Yan Yixi glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "If you're going to work, then focus on your work."

He picked up the pen, signed his name on the document, his handwriting strong and powerful. He put the pen down with a calm and composed expression.

Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the towering buildings of the city in a warm golden light. Inside that unassuming company building, Su Yingxue was fretting over tomorrow's menu, completely unaware that her ordinary boxed lunches had quietly changed the company's fate.

"What did you say? This is a new order for our company?" Su Yingxue almost dropped the document in her hand, staring wide-eyed at He Yue who pushed open the door, her voice filled with obvious disbelief.

“Absolutely true!” He Yue’s lips curled up, her eyes crinkling into crescents, and she winked mysteriously. “President Su, our General Manager Yan said that your company will be fully responsible for the advertising and promotion of this new product. This is a lucrative opportunity, so don’t let us down!” As she spoke, she handed over a contract with a gold-embossed cover, her movements exaggerated as if she were holding some rare treasure.

The surrounding employees, who had been busy with their own tasks, seemed to pause upon hearing He Yue's words, all turning to look at her with curiosity. Some put down their mice, some leaned out of their workstations, and others stood up, all crowding around Su Yingxue.

"Let me see! Let me see!" Xiao Zhao from the design team squeezed to the front, his eyes wide open, staring at the contract in Su Yingxue's hand, his voice trembling with excitement.

Su Yingxue smiled and held the contract up a little higher so everyone could see it. When everyone saw the prominent company logo and the words "Tengyue Advertising Company" on the contract, the entire office instantly erupted in excitement.
