Chapter 32 The Land of Eternal Daylight
Today, the weather isn't actually that good.
The city was shrouded in gloomy clouds, and the sky was like a huge gray curtain, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
However, at the very top of the "little crown".
The meeting room here remains spacious and bright, with sunlight streaming unobstructed into every corner of the room. Golden light dances on the gleaming marble walls, refracting a dazzling brilliance.
This is a world above the clouds, a land of perpetual daylight unaffected by overcast skies, independent of the mortal world.
Bai Li signed her name on the contract.
From then on, this place became her personal property.
Bai Li walked towards her office, pushed open the door, and saw a huge floor-to-ceiling window. As she walked to the window, her view was filled with a vast expanse of white clouds.
These clouds, layer upon layer, stretching to the horizon, completely obscure the hustle and bustle of the city below.
This is a pure white world, as if time has stood still here.
Also above the clouds are a few building spires, like giant ships sailing in a sea of clouds, lonely and magnificent, as if only the most skilled captains could steer them, each carrying something.
Bai Li stood by the window, appearing calm on the surface, but her inner thoughts were far from calm. Who can remain calm when walking on clouds?
Owning a "little crown" has long transcended the realm of simple personal wealth; it is more like a symbol of power and the pinnacle of business.
Bai Li felt as if she had suddenly stood at a height that countless people could only look up to, becoming the queen of this behemoth. Every step she took felt like walking on clouds, a feeling that was ethereal and unreal, as if the clouds beneath her feet might vanish at any moment, plunging her into an abyss. Therefore, she needed to walk with extreme caution.
The sound of knocking on the door in the still of the night pulled Bai Li's thoughts back from the clouds.
"Ms. Bai, several companies have registered for interviews at the front desk to discuss renting space here. Would you like to meet with them?"
Jingye's voice was calm and steady. She had been surprised when she first learned that Baili had bought the place, but now she had accepted the fact, settled into her work, and professionally began to handle various matters.
Bai Li's own company does need space, but the "Little Crown" has a total of forty floors, each floor is more than a thousand square meters, which is far too much for the current company.
According to Jingye's plan, only two floors are needed at this stage, and the rest can be rented out temporarily. The rent collected can provide sufficient funds for the company's development.
Bai Li nodded gently, agreeing with Jing Ye's idea: "We'll use the 39th and 40th floors ourselves, and the other floors can be rented to suitable companies. You can arrange it, Jing Ye."
Jingye nodded in agreement and turned to return to her office to handle these complicated matters.
Just as he was about to take a step, Bai Li called him back: "Jingye, if there are too many things to do, you can take your time. Don't exhaust yourself."
Bai Li suddenly realized that Jing Ye's workload was terrifying. He not only had to manage all the affairs of the base, but also take charge of the company's preliminary work, and now he even had to worry about the building's rental. The more Bai Li thought about it, the more guilty she felt. It seemed that she had put too much responsibility on Jing Ye's shoulders.
Moreover, she knew Jingye's personality; she was a complete workaholic who would definitely shoulder all the burdens and bear them silently.
Bai Li pouted in frustration: "I'm sorry, Jing Ye, we still don't have enough manpower."
Jingye was slightly taken aback. He turned around and looked at Bai Li with a hint of barely perceptible emotion in his eyes: "Please don't think like that, Miss Bai. You have already given me the greatest support. I can solve all the remaining difficulties. I will make the arrangements."
Bai Li frowned. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Jing Ye. Bai Li raised her head and looked firmly into Jing Ye's eyes. She pursed her lips slightly and then said firmly, "I know you are very capable, but you are not a superman. You will also get tired. I can't just watch you bear everything alone. It will break my heart. Other things in the company can be put aside. The most urgent thing is to recruit some assistants to help you. I will help you until the assistants arrive."
Jingye gazed quietly at Baili, a gentle ripple appearing in her deep, sky-blue eyes. A warm current surged in his heart; he knew Baili truly cared about him.
This concern transcends the care a superior shows to a subordinate; it is the genuine affection between family members.
In fact, Jingye felt that she didn't need Baili's help at all, but refusing Baili at this time would only make her feel uncomfortable.
He originally had his own plans to make the company profitable as soon as possible and develop faster, but now it seems that he still needs to slow down.
But Jingye felt no resentment at having his plans disrupted. He smiled gently and said, "I understand. I'll leave it to Miss Bai for now."

[Quiet Night's Affection Level: 65]
Bai Li secretly gave herself a thumbs up after receiving Jing Ye's favorability points. "I'm such a wonderful boss that I've touched the whole country. You can't find another boss as considerate of his employees as I do!"
……
In recent days, inquiries about the new owner of "Little Crown" have never ceased. This mysterious new owner seems to be hidden behind a thick fog, and no matter how hard the outside world tries, it is impossible to obtain any information about him (or her).
Even in the days following the takeover, "Little Crown" maintained an extremely low profile, without any overwhelming rental advertisements or grand promotional activities. This was quite different from the practices of other companies. If it were any other commercial company, they would probably have launched a massive advertising campaign as soon as they took over. This made the new owner of "Little Crown" seem even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Bai Li shook her head helplessly when Jing Ye told her about the rumors outside. She hadn't rented it out because she didn't have time. After helping Jing Ye with her work for a few days, Bai Li finally understood what a work machine was and how to make the most of every minute of available time.
Everything was proceeding smoothly and efficiently under Jingye's arrangements.
Su Yaqin came to this company for an interview through a friend's introduction.
Her old friend raved about the company: "Sister Yaqin, the benefits and conditions offered here are top-notch in the industry. If you don't come, you'll be missing out big time. This kind of opportunity is rare!"
Su Yaqin was skeptical.
