Vicky called out the familiar name, just like she was folding paper stars, she had to hold her breath and align the creases, for fear that one more wrinkle would make the original shape unrecognizable.

Gu Xingyan replied: "Sister Wei, what's the matter?"

Vicky squeezed out of the crowd and took a few steps forward.

“I just want to tell you… your performance has been great, several directors have praised you highly, and Lord Guangdi has even reserved a project for you.

"I got this position not because you are not good enough, but for more unspeakable reasons..."

For example, she knew in advance that the team's task was related to the campaign manager, but she didn't tell anyone except her brother and worked hard on it in secret.

When she was still unfamiliar with the other five store managers, she had only one thought:

Those who should know will definitely know. If those who don’t know inform the other party, wouldn’t they be adding more opponents to themselves for nothing?

She has no regrets.

But it was a surprise that I got along so well with my teammates.

She is very greedy and wants to keep this relationship after she gets promoted.

The fact that Gu Xingyan was scared and let go just now was not a good sign.

Of course, Vicky's words could also lead to another kind of ambiguity, that of a power struggle among the top brass.

In this situation, capable people will be suppressed, but incompetent people may be able to rise to the top overnight.

A normal person would think, how could there be such a stupid leader who supports a idiot to take the position?

But don't do too many things like this.

In Gu Xingyan's mind, even if Vicky's behavior was occasionally abnormal, she would simply understand it as the second situation.

It’s not that she is too insensitive, nor is it that she is a saint who likes to trust others unconditionally.

But she knows that the adult world is not black and white, and very few people can sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others.

The relationship between people is like an egg. If there is a crack, mend it. Although the crack will not disappear, the egg can still hold on a little longer.

If there are too many cracks to bear, that is the time to go separate ways.

"Sister Wei, I understand what you mean. Fortunately, the final result is you. I am convinced!"

When Gu Xingyan said the word "heart", she made a heart shape to Vicky.

They have done a lot of such interactions in the studio.

There are four other people, and through learning from each other, they have mastered more than a dozen heart-shaped gestures.

Vicky's smile widened, and she was visibly relieved, her eyes sparkling.

"You too, I have a feeling that Lord Guangdi's project is no worse than our industrial park mission. Maybe there will be better opportunities waiting for you later!"

Gu Xingyan scratched his head and said, "I hope so. If it's more difficult, it will be very troublesome."

Vicky acted like a boss as usual, "That's nothing. If you encounter difficulties that you can't solve in the future, don't handle it alone, you must come to me.

"The store in the industrial park will not close just because we have a new mission. We will always be teammates."

As she spoke, she took another step closer and held Gu Xingyan's hand.

"Thank you for reaching out to me just now when I was about to give up.

“I am where I am today thanks to everyone in the industrial park. Now I have more, so let me help you more.”

Gu Xingyan felt warm in her heart, "What are you talking about... You have always been our boss, and we have made you worry a lot."

But Vicky's expression was too serious and sincere, so Gu Xingyan also became a little more serious and nodded:

"I will. I will definitely not let you, my golden thigh, go. You don't have to be a fool if you have connections, okay? You will be my backer from now on!"

Vicky smiled with satisfaction, "That's it."

Gu Xingyan added: "Of course, don't be too happy too soon."

Vicky blinked, "Huh?"

Gu Xingyan made a fist-clenching gesture and said, "I am also very aggressive in achieving sales results. Even if I am not a manager, I will meet you at the top one day. You must hold on to your current position!"

Vicky also raised a fist and bumped it with hers: "Then you have to work harder, I won't wait for you here!"

After that, the two separated. Gu Xingyan waved and said with a smile: "Then I'll go first. See you at the celebration party!"

Vicky also waved goodbye: "See you at the celebration party!"

The managers behind them gradually raised their voices when they saw that the two had finally finished their conversation.

"What a precious relationship! Manager Vicky and Store Manager Gu Xingyan have such a good relationship."

"If the relationship between teammates is not good, it is impossible to complete the team mission so well."

"Manager Vicky, would you like to check in on the department manager's office?"

"Yeah, I haven't been to the MW division for a long time. I remember that 80% of the store managers there are monsters. Will the decoration be more unique?"

"How about we organize a dinner party for the middle management tonight to celebrate for Manager Vicky?"

"Okay, okay, Manager Vicky, what do you think?"

Vicky turned around with a look of relief, smiling very easily, "Okay, okay, it's my treat tonight!

"I know a few really good restaurants that require reservations several years in advance, but the boss has always reserved a private room for me..."

Behind the crowd, Gu Xingyan returned to Manager Inya and Manager Shang. The two leaders were waiting for her patiently.

"Sorry for keeping you two waiting."

Manager Shang smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, I have plenty of time. Besides, seeing your relationship like this, I can only feel very relieved."

He glanced at the group of managers across from him who were keen on making new friends. He did not show any disgust, but said with deep understanding:

"It's hard for a lone wolf to go far. Young people should make more friends."

Manager Inya silently glanced at the text message she had just received and reminded: "Let's go quickly, there is a dinner party tonight."

Manager Shang touched his bulging belly with a smile and said, "That's right. Let's finish it soon so we can get off work early and have a big meal."

Seeing that the other managers didn't seem to be leaving yet, it was convenient for Gu Xingyan and the other two as they didn't have to squeeze into the elevator to go downstairs.

Under the guidance of Manager Shang, Gu Xingyan came to the floor where the Department of Commerce was located for the first time.

The elevator door slowly opened, and a busy atmosphere completely different from that of the HX Division hit us.

This is the Ministry of Commerce.

In the spacious and bright open office area, the sounds of phone calls, footsteps and papers flipping through are interwoven into a background sound of efficient operations.

Creatures of various shapes and sizes shuttled around, some were walking in a hurry with thick documents in their arms, while others were suspended in the air, using their tentacles or their thoughts to handle multiple tasks at the same time.

Gu Xingyan noticed that the salesmen here seemed to be communicating with all kinds of clients, speaking at an astonishingly fast speed, but without losing the language skills.

"Hello, welcome to the No Name Group. This is salesperson SW245. How can I help you?"

"...The above is the entire content of this agreement. If there is no problem, you can pay the balance...Yes, our company supports all payment methods."

"Hello, sir. The store manager of the plane store you booked for customization has accepted the order and it will be officially launched tomorrow. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me."

"I'm very sorry, ma'am, there are a lot of orders recently, and your plane store is still waiting in line...

"Yes, yes, I understand your feelings very well. Our company has a corresponding compensation system. For every year of waiting, we will reduce your customization fee by 1%...

"Haha, you're joking. It won't take longer than a hundred years."

Gu Xingyan: "..."

She clearly remembered that the Planta clan in the interstellar plane had been waiting for more than a hundred years?

Could it be that Planta couldn't afford the high fees and was making a huge gamble with its time?

It can’t be that the task takes too long and the store manager didn’t accept the order, right?

Most store managers do not have the right to choose.

Gu Xingyan didn't expect that after so many years, she would have a new understanding of a past mission.

Manager Shang didn't know she was thinking divergently, and smiled and introduced: "Our department is mainly responsible for connecting with external commissions and handling various business cooperation negotiations, so the pace is relatively fast."

Manager Inia still maintained her elegant posture, her ice-blue eyes calmly scanning the surroundings, and she was obviously not unfamiliar with the environment here.

Gu Xingyan followed the two managers and also looked around this vibrant place.

The Plane Group is like this. The employees are of various races, from common humanoids to strange energy bodies and plant life...

She has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and she can still see a few things today that are completely beyond her comprehension.

They walked along the main passage, with separate work areas on both sides, but the most eye-catching thing was the huge structure at the end of the passage that occupied the entire wall and even extended upward with no end in sight.

"That's our 'archive library'." Manager Shang lowered his voice and said, "In fact, the real person behind it is also Lord Mobius."

Gu Xingyan tilted her head almost to ninety degrees and looked at the ceiling above her head.

The archive is like a huge "flower vine" made of light and some kind of translucent crystals, with countless colorful energy veins winding on its surface.

These veins converge at nodes of varying sizes and shapes. Inside the nodes are suspended balls of light that are either bright or dark, like blooming buds or ripe fruits.

But this is not at all inconsistent with the sci-fi-feeling office of the Ministry of Commerce, because the archives itself is a sci-fi-style element, and it has become a unique landscape of the Ministry of Commerce.

When you are tired from work, you can lean back in your chair and look at the sci-fi "flower vines" dotted with stars above your head to refresh your eyes.

Soon, Manager Shang explained to Gu Xingyan the answer.

It turns out that those "buds" mean orders that are under negotiation, while the "fruits" are projects that have already been implemented.

No wonder tiny, firefly-like spots of light fly out from a node in the hub, are accurately captured by a peculiarly shaped floating robot waiting on the side, and then quickly sent to an office area.

Sometimes, you will see a salesperson walk up to the hub, extend his palm or tentacles, and press on the surface of a specific crystal.

As they operate, the corresponding nodes will light up with unique light, and the flow of energy veins will speed up, as if some kind of complex data interaction is taking place.

Manager Shang's voice brought Gu Xingyan back from shock.

"Each ball of light may represent a huge order spanning several planes, or a long-term cooperation project that lasted for several epochs."

Gu Xingyan looked at the miraculous archive and gained a deeper understanding of the group's strength.

This has gone beyond the scope of simple technology or magic and is more like a concretization of rules.

Just as she was sighing, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

In a work cubicle not far away, a faceless man with no facial features and wearing a well-fitting suit was looking up at this side, seemingly surprised.

It's Milu!

Gu Xingyan's eyes lit up, and while the two managers were still admiring the archives, she quietly waved to Mi Lu.

Milu turned slightly and nodded slightly to indicate that he saw it.

Several colleagues around him also looked over in the direction he was looking, with curiosity on their faces.

After Manager Shang and Manager Inia led Gu Xingyan forward and moved a little away from that area, low voices of discussion immediately arose around Milu.

"Milu, who was that just now?"

"A new colleague? She doesn't look like one. She's wearing a green name badge, and her rank is pretty high. Which department is she from?"

"Manager Inya is here too. Could she be the store manager?"

Mi Lu said softly, "It's the store manager Gu Xingyan."

This answer immediately caused everyone to exclaim.

"Wow! Is that Gu Xingyan?"

"The one who proposed the Huaguoshan applet?"

"So this is what he looks like? It's a pity that I didn't see his face clearly just now..."

"Hey, Kachi," Milu looked at one of his colleagues who had a dozen long tentacles and said jokingly:

"Didn't you say that all humanoids look the same to you?"

The alien colleague called Kachi shook the perception tentacles on his head and refuted:

"That's different! I look at the temperament!"

"Oh? What temperament do you see?"

"…I didn't see it clearly. Look again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Shang's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Milu, Kachi, you two come here."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Manager Shang actually came back and was standing at the entrance of the passage looking at them.

"Send that pile of pending expedited orders to my office."

"Yes! Manager!" Milu responded immediately.

The other colleagues immediately showed envious looks on their faces. This was a good opportunity to get close to Manager Gu.

Kachi was even more excited. His dozen or so tentacles, which were originally soft, straightened instantly, like flexible arms, and finished the work of the two people in a few swipes.

Immediately afterwards, several tentacles rolled up the documents, and several others took advantage of the situation and directly picked up Mi Lu who was next to him, lifting his feet off the ground.

"Let's go!" Kachi growled excitedly, wriggling his tentacles and running with Milu at the speed of a cheetah.

However, as soon as he entered the leader's office, Kachi's speed suddenly slowed down, and his movements became steady and quiet, as if the impetuous person just now was not him.

I only heard Manager Shang introduce to others: "In the past three years or so, our company has actively laid out in more than a dozen divine industrial parks, plus the matter of the Space-Time Company, hehe...

“There is now a backlog of more than 100,000 worlds and no store manager can take orders, so the director plans to open up a new business to solve this problem.

"And in our group, the store manager with the most ideas, free time, and similar successful experience is none other than you, Gu Xingyan."
