The day after seeing off the agency rep, Shang Zhitao really did start working her contacts. She opened her address book and called them one by one. "Hello, this is Shang Zhitao." "You're asking whether the pandemic has affected our company? It's complicated. There's been an impact, but we're still doing business." "Not only are we still doing business, we've gotten our internet advertising license. So how about Director Wang shifts a bit of budget over to try us out?" She repeated these lines over and over without growing tired of it. Some people agreed, some refused. It didn't matter. As long as someone said yes, that was a good start. She had no idea that while she was making her calls, Luan Nian was also on the phone at home. He was a man who had never deigned to work connections, too proud for that his whole life. But today he lowered his head and started calling people, and the first call went to Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan pi...

When you really need to get familiar with a business, you have to work through an overwhelming amount of information. At this stage, Shang Zhitao asked only one thing of her team: to learn. At a meeting she said, "Besides Fang Ke and the girls in operations, nobody else on this team really understands this business. So what do we do when we don't understand something? We learn. That's why I asked Fang Ke to help put together a study plan. For the next two weeks, we'll be doing closed-door training at the office. Starting next Monday, so everyone should enjoy the weekend first." "I'll put the study plan up on the screen, then," Fang Ke said. "Good. I have one more requirement. Since none of us knows anything right now, we let the person who does understand make the decisions. For the time being, everyone listens to Fang Ke." Shang Zhitao had always been willing to delegate and hand over authority. She still remembered Ling Mei's rule:...

The last time Shang Zhitao had cried in front of Luan Nian was years ago. That day she had broken down, taken Luke, and left his place, walking for a long, long time in the snow. Luan Nian remembered that day. He had followed behind her, but never once stepped forward. Afterward he regretted it countless times. Why hadn't he stepped up and held her while she cried? Luan Nian walked over to her, sighed, and pulled her into his arms. Shang Zhitao pressed her forehead against his chest, though there was still space between them, and cried like that for a while. Her tears soaked through his shirt, wetting his chest. He wanted to hold her tightly, but he felt her resist, so he let go and simply let her rest her head there. When she finished wiping her tears, she felt a little embarrassed. She thanked him, gently pushed him back, and stepped away. "Are you here to see Luke?" "Yes. I meant to come as soon as the restrictions lifted, but I got held up by a lot of thing...

The two of them stood outside the tavern, glaring at each other. "Stay where?" Luan Nian asked her. "Where exactly do you want me to stay?" "So you're inviting me to sleep with you?" The corner of his mouth twitched. "Don't drink today. You never behave yourself when you've been drinking." He pulled Shang Zhitao's hand off the door handle and added, "Oh right, that was years ago. Do you still bite when you drink?" Their coats brushed together, and Shang Zhitao could feel the warmth radiating off his skin. She stepped back. "You're so fierce now, do you bite people even without drinking?" Battered by another round of Shang Zhitao's machine-gun mouth, Luan Nian felt strangely refreshed. He opened the door and walked in. Da Zhai looked startled to see him, but he just smiled. "Hello, could I get another serving of the peanuts from last time?" No one raises a hand against a smiling face. ...
