Chapter 204: Magnanimous

Stayed at the Communication University of China until two in the afternoon.

"Ding-a-ling," the crisp and pleasant school bell rang; after saying goodbye to Hao Anqi, Shen Yan drove straight to Yuhang District.

Passing by a supermarket on the way, Shen Yan turned in to buy two electric heaters; it was freezing cold, and he knew Fang Tian would certainly be reluctant to use such heating equipment.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was undoubtedly a scumbag through and through; Shen Yan hoped to be a scumbag with depth, rather than the kind who slept with everyone he met.

What would be the difference between that and a stud horse?

Arriving at Yancheng Clothing Factory, Shen Yan first went to the online store operations room; Fang Tian was still there conscientiously packing parcels, Xiao Juan and Xiao Fang were rolling their keyboards in front of the computers, and Fang Tian was much more relaxed, skillfully applying various formula techniques in an Excel spreadsheet.

She seemed to be verifying data.

Over the past two months, this young girl who originally knew nothing about the business seemed to have been reborn, and now she could handle her work with ease.

The speed of her progress was impressive.

Fang Tian was the first to notice Shen Yan's arrival and immediately called out respectfully, "Hello, Boss!"

The other three were startled, turned around in unison, and saw that it was none other than Shen Yan standing there.

"Hello, Boss!"

Seeing the figure she had been longing for after a week, Fang Tian's eyes shimmered, her fingers gripped the corner of her clothes tightly, but she still suppressed her excitement.

Shen Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad! I am very happy to see you all working so diligently. Here are two electric heaters; you can plug them in to keep warm."

"Yay! Thank you, Boss!"

"That's great!"

Xiao Juan and Xiao Fang cheered immediately.

It had to be said that Shen Yan was a very thoughtful boss; he would occasionally bring them small snacks, and now he had even specially brought electric heaters, making people feel right at home.

Shen Yan didn't stay long and asked Fang Tian to organize the data and come over to report on the sales situation of these past few days later; Fang Tian agreed without hesitation.

Even if Shen Yan hadn't said anything, she definitely would have gone to find the boss.

Returning to his office, Shen Yan first called for Han Yi to hear his report on the factory's situation; Han Yi was indeed a capable hand at management, and whether it was inventory or production progress, everything was managed in perfect order.

Shen Yan hardly needed to worry about anything.

As a boss, being clear about rewards and punishments was the most fundamental principle of managing people; Shen Yan said, "Put more effort into the factory, and I'll give you a big red envelope during the New Year."

Han Yi was immediately beaming; although he didn't know how much Shen Yan was worth, judging by his focus on the factory, it was clear he didn't take this small business to heart.

The extent of his extravagance was evident!

If the wealthy young master said he would give a big red envelope, then it would definitely be a substantial one.

After Han Yi left, Shen Yan began to flip through the various reports on the desk; of course, he couldn't just listen to Han Yi's side of the story regarding the factory's situation. Data wouldn't lie, and it couldn't deceive his sharp eyes.

Ha! Consider this guy honest!

After operating the computer for a while, Shen Yan did not find any traces of tampering.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The door was knocked.

After receiving permission, Fang Tian walked in with small, quick steps, then reached out to turn the lock, and the door was quietly locked.

The movement was so skillful it seemed to have been tempered a thousand times.

It was breathtaking.

Shen Yan rubbed his nose, having the illusion that he was corrupting a young girl.

As usual, Fang Tian handed over a thermos cup containing hot old white tea; it had a fruity, honey-like taste that was refreshing to the heart.

After taking a few sips, Shen Yan looked up and found Fang Tian staring at him blankly, so he asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with me?"

A blush appeared on Fang Tian's small face, and she quickly said, "No, no, it's just that the boss hasn't been here for a while, so... so I looked a bit more."

The shy look made Shen Yan find it quite amusing.

Among the three women, Huniu had the courage of a tiger, feared nothing, was usually boisterous, and the number of times she was shy could be counted on one hand; the little enchantress was also lively and bold, but her blushing was mostly a natural physiological reaction.

But Fang Tian seemed to have a kind of shyness and timidity born in her bones; even after being together for so long and having the most intimate moments, there was still a sense of restraint that she couldn't let go of in front of him.

"I went on a business trip these past few days and brought you a gift; see if you like it."

Shen Yan took a packaging box out of his shoulder bag, inside of which lay a pair of exquisite earrings; Fang Tian was overjoyed, not for anything else, but because Shen Yan had always kept her in his heart.

But she was worried the gift was too expensive and appeared somewhat at a loss; Shen Yan comforted her, "Just take it. The boss made a fortune on this trip, and besides, this thing isn't as expensive as you think, only a few thousand."

"A few thousand?"

Fang Tian felt her hands shaking and almost dropped the box.

Why spend so much money on an optional pair of earrings? But she didn't dare ask that out loud.

Sensing this, Shen Yan chuckled and said, "You need to keep your mindset up to date. If you're my woman, and you're so timid about accepting a few thousand yuan, how can I be embarrassed to take you out?"

Fang Tian's spirit stirred.

That's right! What kind of person was the boss? If she acted so small-minded while by his side, wouldn't people laugh their heads off when they saw it?

"Magnanimous! I must be magnanimous!" Fang Tian silently admonished herself in her heart.

As if thinking of something, Fang Tian scanned herself: khaki down jacket, thickened wide-leg pants—they completely failed to highlight her figure.

No wonder the boss didn't let her sit on his lap today.

Her small face flushed red as she said, "Boss, are you free tonight? Why don't you come over to my place for a sit?"

He really hadn't touched this girl for a while, so Shen Yan nodded slightly, "You go get busy first; I'll take you out for a stroll later."

"Mm-hmm!" Upon hearing this, Fang Tian was immediately overjoyed and trotted out of the office.

Calling for raw materials, making payments, equipment maintenance...

After finishing his official business, Shen Yan stretched comfortably, then ran to the workshop to start patrolling, showing his face and checking the production processes along the way.

The clothing factory had a peculiar phenomenon: personnel turnover was very frequent; once the factory had no orders, the workers would look for other ways to make a living.

However, this situation was extremely rare at Yancheng Clothing Factory.

As an established factory, its production capacity was unquestionable, its quality was top-notch in every aspect, and with the Taobao user base growing daily and online store sales constantly climbing, there was no shortage of work in the factory at all.

"Hello, Boss!"

"Haven't seen you in a few days, Boss, you've gotten even more handsome!"

"Boss, when is our factory going on New Year's holiday?"

"Our factory's performance is so good, what kind of New Year's holiday are you talking about."

"Probably around the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month."

Walking along the way, Shen Yan chatted idly with the workers; with only a short month left until the Spring Festival, a sense of anticipation and excitement welled up in the hearts of the workers.
