Chapter 140: Chapter 137 Considerate in Every Way (@Number One Mo Fan)
"You’re in such a hurry, aren’t you afraid of scaring off your boyfriend?" Yan Ling deliberately kept dragging the topic further away.
On the other end of the phone, Yan Yan began to fall silent.
She was really a bit angry; her cousin had clearly not even thought about giving her a graduation gift.
When Yan Ling had graduated from Wharton, Yan Yan had put a lot of thought into his graduation gift.
Yan Ling also remained silent for a while. Without waiting for Yan Yan’s response, he just had to continue himself:
"See, I told you you’re impatient, but you won’t admit it. As for me, I asked my classmate to find you an apartment near the school.
The rent is already paid.
Knowing you like cleanliness, the furniture has also been ordered according to your taste.
The bedding and all that will be washed and arranged for you by someone else; you just have to move in with your bag.
My classmate will pick you up and give you the keys.
Whether you want to ride in my classmate’s car to school or find a taxi, that’s up to you.
Otherwise, once you get to Florence and you’re all new to the place, you’d have to stay in a hotel first and then go looking for an apartment.
With your impatient nature, do you think you could find a satisfactory one right away?" Yan Ling’s graduation gift was also given with much thought.
Yan Yan’s silence continued, and this time, she felt a bit embarrassed.
The graduation gift her cousin had given her was no less thoughtful than she had been for him at the time.
A boy who could consider such detailed issues really deserved to be described as thoughtful and considerate.
"Eh, has my cousin suddenly become a mute?" Yan Ling decided to lighten the mood a bit.
Yan Ling knew Yan Yan must be feeling embarrassed about her impatience just now, but he didn’t give her the gift just to make her speechless.
"No, no, my Brother Ling is the best~" Yan Yan decided to act coquettishly to relieve her awkwardness.
"Eh, so quick to acknowledge us as one family again? Now you know your brother is good?" Yan Ling asked with a laugh.
"Of course, a brother like mine should only exist in heaven, how often do you see such on Earth?" Yan Yan replied, feeling guilty and trying to ingratiate herself.
"In heaven? The way you say it doesn’t sound like a compliment at all? You want your brother to ascend that early?" Yan Ling was amused by Yan Yan’s words, and he laughed helplessly.
"My Brother Ling, naturally, can do anything, go anywhere; he’s always been like a god in my heart." Yan Yan’s flattery continued.
"Haha, your brother here hasn’t thought of leaving this mortal world and becoming a deity just yet." Yan Ling still found the sudden flattery in Yan Yan’s tone amusing.
"Well, there’s nothing I can do, my cousin; you were born a male god, whether you like it or not, you’re already a deity. My Brother Ling has a natural god-like aura from birth." Yan Yan elaborated on her reasons.
"Receiving such insincere praise from you, I’m really not quite used to it, you see; I was born a baby, just like the rest of humanity on Earth." Yan Ling couldn’t imagine what a baby like a male god would look like.
"Haha, when I was born, you were already four years old. For me, it’s entirely possible that you were like Nezha, born with incredible powers." Yan Yan herself couldn’t keep up with her own exaggerations any longer.
"Nezha was born with incredible powers?" Yan Ling felt Yan Yan was getting more and more absurd.
"Uh, aren’t you supposed to be remodeling your office today? You keep chatting with your cousin like this, aren’t you neglecting your work a bit?" Yan Yan had to change the subject or she didn’t know how to continue the "tall tales."
"It seems you were the one who called me." Yan Ling inadvertently exposed Yan Yan.
"Oh? Really? Am I so oblivious? How could I do such a thing? I’ll hang up immediately so you can work properly~Bye~" Yan Yan decided to adopt the strategy of retreat.
"Mmm, bye," Yan Ling also hung up the phone.
...
Downsizing the office was actually quite easy to accomplish.
Having once been bitten by a snake, Yan Ling felt that social and entertainment functions of the office were all superfluous.
He didn’t want the tea drinking area, nor did he want the recently replaced billiards area.
The original chairman’s office, aside from the demolished electric glass door, had all its remaining parts made of glass.
Yan Ling simply had all the glass removed and chose the corner closest to the wall in the original office to create a new office space.
The new office building of the footwear factory featured main offices that were designed with transparent glass. Yan Ling’s downsized office also used transparent glass – the type that’s normally found only in bathrooms, electrochromic glass.
With just a flick of a switch, it would immediately become blurry and nothing could be seen through it.
If Yan Ling wasn’t there, his office, just like the others, was completely visible, not disrupting the original decorative style of the office at all. freewёbnoνel.com
If Yan Ling was inside, he could make the office very private if he wanted to.
Yan Ling really needed privacy now.
The feeling of being constantly watched by his mother and matchmaking candidates was almost driving Yan Ling to question his existence.
Yan Ling didn’t quite understand why so much glass was used in the design of the new office building. Could it be that people in the country now prefer working in transparent environments?
Three years ago, when the new office building was still being designed, Uncle Yan and Aunt He did send the blueprints to Yan Ling for suggestions.
At that time, Yan Ling didn’t expect to return home to take over the company so soon and didn’t look at the design seriously.
Now thinking back on this, Yan Ling greatly regretted it. He couldn’t find a single office in the entire building that satisfied him.
Compared to other shoe factories, Yan Ling’s family shoe factory’s office building definitely ranked as super cool and stylish.
It was a very modern, airy steel structure glass building that started to use glass extensively from the external walls.
Yan Ling always complained that the family factory wasn’t modern enough. When Uncle Yan had it designed, he particularly emphasized the need for the most modern building and decor.
Uncle Yan probably thought that the higher the modernity of the office building, the higher the modernity of the company would naturally be.
Uncle Yan never agreed with Yan Ling’s evaluation of the family shoe factory. Yan Ling always talked about modernizing the factory to a company with modern management systems, but Uncle Yan never felt there was anything unmodern about his company.
Not only was there nothing unmodern, but speaking of which, it could also be considered a high-tech enterprise.
The reason Yan Ling’s family shoe factory could receive higher-priced OEM and ODM orders was always due to the backing of Yanlu Shoe Machine.
Uncle Yan’s family shoe factory’s production line was always the most advanced and had the smallest margin of error.
Even on a global scale, it wouldn’t be surpassed.
The patent application was usually a long process. Before Yan Dabang’s patents were officially granted, Uncle Yan’s factory’s production line already began using the new technology.
To give a simple example, normally, a three-millimeter discrepancy between two shoes was acceptable.
But the shoes produced on Yan Ling’s family factory’s production line would never have a discrepancy greater than 0.3 millimeters.
From this perspective, the machines were somewhat more precise than manual work.
