Chapter 715: Chapter 705: New Year Big Red Envelope, PR Gift Box

Tong Yue seemed to have forgotten what she said just a few days ago, "Year-end vacation? What year-end vacation? I don’t know what a year-end vacation is, I just want to work, I love working."

Jiang Lingxi waited for her to finish her righteous speech, "As long as you’re happy. However, I plan to take at least three days off to spend some quality time with my family during the New Year. During these three days, unless it’s a matter of life and death, do not disturb me."

Tong Yue frowned, thought for a while, and nodded helplessly, "Alright then."

"Also, this," Jiang Lingxi took out a red envelope that Shen Yunqing had helped her prepare before coming over, "Originally I thought this meeting was to discuss the year-end vacation. This is your New Year bonus in advance."

The red envelopes had each person’s name written on them in golden ink. Of course, such detailed work wasn’t her idea, it was all Shen Yunqing’s arrangement.

The three of them received their red envelopes with joy. Lu Zhengzheng couldn’t resist opening hers first. As soon as she took out a stack of fresh banknotes, she felt its thickness without needing to count, "This is, twenty thousand?"

"Not really, eighteen thousand eight hundred, I heard people like such numbers nowadays."

Fang Yao could tell at a glance that her envelope was about as thick as Lu Zhengzheng’s. She initially thought since she joined Xixi later than Lu Zhengzheng, she might receive less, but Xixi treated them all equally.

Lu Zhengzheng grinned widely, "Hehe, I like it too, this is going to bring prosperity!"

Fang Yao’s sharp eyes noticed, "It seems like there’s something else in the envelope."

Lu Zhengzheng secured the money and carefully reached inside the envelope again, pulling out a red silk pouch. Inside the pouch was a lifelike little golden pig, "Wow, Xixi knows I was born in the Year of the Pig!"

She instinctively weighed the little golden pig and had a hunch that the value of this golden pig was probably not less than the stack of cash.

The key point was, this was the first time in her life that she received such a substantial red envelope, such significant gold!

Originally, Fang Yao was reluctant to unseal the exquisite red envelope in her hand, but now she couldn’t resist either.

Being born in the Year of the Dog, maybe there was also a little golden dog inside for her.

Tong Yue was about to put the red envelope directly into her bag anticipating to open it later, but her curiosity got the better of her, so she opened it too.

Her envelope was even thicker, and that stack of banknotes definitely looked more than twenty thousand, but the red silk pouch inside didn’t contain a playful little animal; instead, there was a solid, plain-patterned bracelet, perfect for her age.

Tong Yue straightforwardly put the bracelet on her wrist, took a picture with her phone, and happened to snap a bit of the stack of cash on the table, then logged into her manager account and posted an update.

Manager Tong Yue V: [New Year gifts from my artiste, let’s all prosper together! [with picture]]

Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao followed suit, taking pictures and posting updates.

Very soon, there were many likes and comments under their updates.

[I’m so envious, is it still time to apply for a job as Xixi’s assistant after the New Year?]

[There’s even gold, I strongly suggest all bosses learn from this.]

[I don’t even hope for such a big piece of gold, if the New Year red envelope contains ten grams, I can wake up laughing from a dream.]

[If I could receive a New Year red envelope worth tens of thousands, I can’t imagine how bright and cheerful I’d be!]

[Blowing things out of proportion is outdated, this is the ultimate secret to revitalize employees from lethargy to enthusiasm during work!]

...

’Initially, it was just a spur-of-the-moment sharing among the three of them, but they clearly forgot that the name "Jiang Lingxi" now carried a certain attention.

Unknowingly, the hashtag #JiangLingxiManagerAndAssistantShowNewYearGifts# climbed onto the tail end of trending searches.

A lot of celebrities, who haven’t had the time to prepare red envelopes for their subordinates: "..."

Darn, beaten to the punch again!

Why rush when there are still several days until New Year!

However, Tong Yue, who was unaware of this, was already discussing other matters with Jiang Lingxi, "About the New Year’s PR gifts, Xixi, do you have any thoughts?"

Previously, they never considered this, as they weren’t that popular back then, had hardly any endorsements, and there was no need to go all out.

But times have changed, and PR gifts are quite necessary now.

Actually, it is already a bit late to prepare these now, as several celebrity studios have already showcased their prepared New Year gift boxes.

They’re still pondering over what to include in the gift boxes.

Jiang Lingxi silently searched for what PR gift boxes were after listening to Tong Yue say, "Generally, such gift boxes include brands endorsed by the artist, or items with meaning and practicality, like blankets and small appliances.

But your current two endorsements, we can’t consider cars, as they’re too valuable and can’t fit into gift boxes, and the jewelry brand, which I checked starts at over ten thousand, is also unsuitable. So, we have to opt for the latter, but if we want to send something innovative..."

Tong Yue pinched her eyebrows, "It’s really difficult. But this is our first time sending out PR gift boxes, so I think it should be something special. Zhengzheng and Yaoyao, if you have any ideas, feel free to share."

Jiang Lingxi saw the three of them pondering deeply, "Actually, there’s another endorsement."

"What?" Tong Yue looked bewildered, "How come I didn’t know you had another endorsement?"

"I took it myself, Qingyin Technology, second-generation VR glasses. I remember the basic model of these glasses is only a few thousand, not particularly expensive, plus it’s a soon-to-be-released new product..."

Before Jiang Lingxi could finish speaking, Tong Yue excitedly grabbed her arm, "Great, let’s go with it!"

"Then I’ll have someone procure a batch to send over, Sister Tong, you can start preparing the gift boxes."

The person to contact was naturally Shen Qingzhou, as besides him, Jiang Lingxi didn’t know anyone else at Qingyin Technology.

Receiving the call, Shen Qingzhou took it upon himself, "Leave it all to me, besides, would sister-in-law like to make a small design on these glasses to distinguish them from those sold in the market?"

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"Not at all, it’s also a form of promotion, only beneficial to Qingyin."

"Since the New Year is the Dragon Year, I’ll hand-draw a little dragon image and send it over to you to print on the glasses."

"Sure, absolutely."

"By the way, when should I come over to shoot the advertisement? You haven’t asked me."

On the side, Tong Yue, who was contacting the gift box manufacturer, almost twisted her ankle on her high heels.

She thought her artist had quietly finished shooting the advertisement, but turns out it hadn’t been done at all!

Shen Qingzhou: "Anytime sister-in-law has time, we’ll be at your service."

He didn’t not want to ask, he just didn’t dare to.

It’s almost the New Year, what if he accidentally interrupted his brother and sister-in-law’s private time, and his brother gets upset, cutting his funding!

Shooting the ad compared to getting research funding, the latter obviously takes precedence.

"Then tomorrow, where shall we shoot?"

"At Qingyin Technology."

"Okay, I’ll bring the team over tomorrow."

Shen Qingzhou had to swallow back the words about picking her up himself, "Alright, sister-in-law."

Just as he hung up the phone, the research lab door opened silently, and in walked an elegant lady with long, slightly curled hair wearing a light-colored suit, "I seemed to hear you calling sister-in-law just now?"

"Sister-in-law is coming over to shoot the second-generation VR glasses ad tomorrow."

When the words fell, Shen Qingzhou watched in astonishment as his fiancée transformed from a sophisticated lady to a fangirl instantly, "When exactly will tomorrow? Is it still in time to order fresh flowers now? Should I dress more maturely or look younger when I see sister-in-law tomorrow? Should I tie up my hair? Also, there must be me among those welcoming sister-in-law!"

Shen Qingzhou: "..."

Why does he have a feeling he’s about to lose favor?
