A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Chapter 169 Temporary Mission

Qin Yiche left a key to the front door in the entryway and then left the apartment.

As soon as he left, Lin Ling screamed excitedly.

Such a nice dorm room, and I can actually stay there for free. It's true that having connections makes a difference.

She hadn't expected Qin Yiche to be such a righteous person; this boss didn't seem to be the kind of heartless boss.

After packing her suitcase, Lin Ling came out of her room, wandered around the living room, and then visited the kitchen and bathroom.

The kitchen was spotless, probably never having been used. The kitchenware was all new and showed no signs of wear. Lin Ling thought it was such a waste; it would be so much better to cook for herself.

The bathroom also has a bathtub, and she plans to take a bath tonight.

The accommodations were so much better than before that Lin Ling couldn't help but take several photos and post them in their group chat.

Sisters, guess where I am?

Of course, she had looked everywhere, except for one other bedroom, which was closed and she didn't go in.

She figured it must be another roommate's room, and she definitely couldn't barge in.

A message notification appeared in the group chat very quickly.

Chen Jia first saw the photos Lin Ling posted.

Where are you? This house is so grandly decorated.

Lin Ling sat on the sofa in the living room, holding her phone and smiling as she replied to messages.

Haha, I have employee housing now too!

Chen Jia: [Don't tell me this is an employee dormitory, I'm tempted to go work at your company.]

Lin Ling: [Correct answer. I was also shocked by how good the company dormitory was!]

Shen Nian also saw the message in the group and sent a message back.

Shen Nian: [Has Lin Ling moved to the staff dormitory?]

Lin Ling: [Yeah, I just moved in today, so I don't have to sleep on the folding bed in the company break room at lunchtime anymore!]

Shen Nian: [Your dorm room is really nice.]

Wu Sisi also saw the photos Lin Ling posted, and also saw their previous chat history.

She zoomed in on the photos Lin Ling had posted in the group chat and looked at them again and again. The bright floor-to-ceiling windows, the spacious living room, the exquisite furniture, the large single room, and the beautiful kitchen and bathroom...

Looking at where I live now, a studio apartment shared by two people, the whole place isn't even as big as Lin Ling's room.

She was instantly disappointed.

Actually, the dormitory environment at Shen's Group was quite good. Since I was an intern, I shared a room with two other people, and it was a single apartment. It was much better than the dormitory environment at school.

Wu Sisi was originally very happy to have a dormitory with such a good environment to live in.

But now that she sees that Lin Ling actually has a dormitory, and it's even a high-end apartment with a large, single-level layout, her own dormitory suddenly seems less appealing in comparison.

Everything seems unpleasant to me now.

She said enviously in the group chat, "Lin Ling's company is so great~" and then logged out of WeChat, no longer paying attention to the group messages.

Lin Ling messaged Shen Nian privately.

[Niannian, do you know who arranged my dorm room?]

Shen Nian was in a meeting in the conference room. Several team leaders and project managers were discussing the details, and it wasn't their turn to participate in the discussion. So, unusually, she didn't pay attention to the meeting and secretly chatted on WeChat in a corner.

"Who is it? Isn't it the HR department?" Shen Nian replied to Lin Ling.

Of course not. I already asked HR, and they said interns don't get dormitories.

"Then why did you move to the dormitory today?" Shen Nian asked, somewhat curious.

"I should thank you," Lin Ling said.

Shen Nian was even more puzzled, [What does this have to do with me...?]

[Because Qin Yiche personally arranged my dorm room today, I should be enjoying special treatment. If it weren't for the fact that you two are classmates, he definitely wouldn't have given me special treatment.] Lin Ling understood this very well.

"I've been working late for the past few days and have been staying in the company break room, so he arranged a dormitory for me today," Lin Ling explained. However, she didn't mention that Qin Yiche had asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend, as she hadn't figured out how to bring it up with Shen Nian yet.

"He's actually quite humane," Shen Nian commented.

I didn't expect that either!

The two chatted for a bit, then Shen Nian stopped replying.

The manager suddenly called her name, saying there was a project collaboration that she and Fang Wenwen would work together on.

Shen Nian was dumbfounded. How could she, an intern, be asked to discuss cooperation?

She hadn't paid attention to what they were saying.

"Manager, I'm new to the company and might not be able to handle such an important job..." Shen Nian quickly analyzed the task assigned by the manager. It was impossible to complete, so it was better to refuse now to avoid being the one who couldn't do the job in the end.

Unexpectedly, Fang Wenwen stood up and said, "Thank you for your trust, Manager. I am confident that I can complete the task. Please rest assured, Manager."

Her words made it seem as if Shen Nian was unwilling to work, and was directly put on the hot seat.

Regardless of what others thought, Shen Nian still said, "According to the information I have, the other party has already signed a letter of intent with another company. The news has already reported it. If we go to talk to them again, I'm afraid it won't be very effective."

They've already signed a contract, why are they still negotiating? How are they supposed to negotiate? This isn't the way to poach talent!

Shen Nian couldn't understand what the manager was thinking.

The project manager looked at Shen Nian with a smile on his face, "I know that the other company has signed a preliminary agreement for cooperation, but according to inside information, it hasn't been finalized and payment has been made yet. So, there is still a glimmer of hope. The company doesn't expect you to actually close this deal. It's just to give you some experience. Of course, it would be best if you could close the deal, but it's okay if you can't. You can learn from the experience."

Fang Wenwen immediately responded, "Thank you, manager, for giving us this opportunity."

The project manager has already said that, so if Shen Nian refuses again, it would be considered disobedience and unwillingness to work.

She nodded. "Understood, Manager."

After the meeting, Shen Nian wanted to talk to Fang Wenwen about how to proceed with the work, since they were both assigned to be in charge.

"Wenwen, how about we discuss how to do the work the manager assigned?" Shen Nian politely called out to Fang Wenwen.

Fang Wenwen packed up her folder. "I'm sorry, I don't have time. I've already found the contact information for Mr. Liu, the project manager at the other company, and we've arranged to meet this afternoon. I've also informed my manager, so... I'm sorry, you'll have to handle your arrangements yourself."

She finished speaking with a hint of smugness, then left the meeting room with the folder in her hand.

Shen Nian was surprised that Fang Wenwen had already contacted the project manager. No wonder she was so confident at the meeting.

Moreover, she probably already knew that the manager would assign them this task today.

Watching Fang Wenwen's departing figure, Shen Nian felt a pang of discouragement...
