Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

As the meeting drew to a close, Chen Chen stood up and said earnestly:

"Everyone, due to the current tight budget, the dinner arrangement after the meeting will be postponed for now."

Let's work together to make more money, and then we'll have a big, fun get-together!

"no problem!"

"come on!"

"it is good!"

"..."

A group of people went off to work, full of vigor and high spirits.

Chen Chen strode towards his own workstation. Next to him was Lin Muxi's.

The two of them could see each other simply by looking up.

The two exchanged a smile and then went about their respective tasks.

During the May Day holiday, everyone devoted themselves wholeheartedly to work-related matters.

The atmosphere was tense yet enthusiastic, with everyone striving towards their established goals.

Even Yan Zihao, who is usually restless, has become quiet lately, as if he has become a different person.

He was no longer as restless as before, but had truly calmed down.

During this period, Yan Zihao seemed to have finally found his own direction, and this clear sense of purpose filled him with energy.

As the work progressed, he became more and more involved. With each task he completed, he felt a greater sense of accomplishment, and his enthusiasm for work grew stronger.

Time flies, and soon the May Day holiday is coming to its last day.

Thanks to everyone's tireless efforts day and night, the website, which embodies everyone's hard work, has finally officially started operating.

The moment the website went live, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the office.

Everyone gathered around the computer screen, watching the numbers flashing on the webpage and the smooth interface, their eyes sparkling with excitement and pride.

Chen Chen stood in the middle of the crowd, a gratified smile on his face.

He scanned each member of the team, his heart filled with emotion.

During this period, everyone gave up their rest and even neglected to spend time with their families, focusing all their energy on their work.

Seeing the results now, all the effort seems so worthwhile.

"This is just the beginning; we have a long way to go."

Chen Chen said loudly, his voice full of encouragement and strength, "But I believe that as long as we maintain this enthusiasm and drive, there is nothing we cannot do!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes burning with unwavering determination.

Yan Zihao excitedly waved his fist:

"That's right! I feel full of energy right now, and we're sure to make this website bigger and stronger!"

Lin Muxi smiled as she looked at everyone, then took a picture of the website launching on her phone and sent it to Qin Yao, who was overseas, along with the following text:

"Look, we've successfully taken the first step. We're waiting for you to come back and fight alongside us!"

Qin Yao quickly replied to the message, her screen filled with excited and congratulatory emojis, adding that she couldn't wait to return to China and join everyone.

As the website became operational, the data began to be updated continuously.

Thanks to the initial promotion, the number of visits exceeded expectations within just a few hours, and user feedback poured in like a tidal wave. The team members were overjoyed to see the positive reviews and suggestions.

But they were not blinded by joy; instead, they became even more aware of the weight of their responsibilities.

Chen Chen quickly convened a brief meeting and formulated a follow-up optimization plan based on user feedback.

Everyone understood their tasks and threw themselves back into the intense yet well-organized work.

Time flies, and soon the May Day holiday is over.

That day, after class, Lin Muxi arrived at her studio and was about to pick up her paintbrush to start creating when the phone, which was placed to the side, suddenly rang.

She subconsciously turned to look at her phone, where the name "Qin Yao" was flashing on the screen.

Upon seeing that familiar name, Lin Muxi's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. Her hands continued moving, she put down her paintbrush, quickly picked up her phone, and pressed the answer button.

In an instant, the phone screen lit up, and Qin Yao's face appeared clearly in front of Lin Muxi.

"How is it going?"

Qin Yao's familiar and warm voice, tinged with concern, came through the phone receiver.

Qin Yao had intended to call Lin Muxi after receiving her message on the first day the website went live, but was delayed by other matters.

Since Qin Yao went abroad, the two have only been able to communicate through text messages, and this is the first time they have had a video call.

Lin Muxi looked at Qin Yao on the screen with delight in her eyes, carefully examining Qin Yao's face.

Qin Yao seemed even more beautiful than before. Her skin was still fair, her eyes sparkled with a lively light, and her hair was slightly curled and draped over her shoulders, giving her a unique and stylish look.

"Everything's fine. How about you? How's it going abroad?"

Lin Muxi responded with a smile, her smile brimming with longing for her friend.

Qin Yao said excitedly:
"It's so interesting here! The art scene here is incredibly vibrant. I've attended so many exhibitions and encountered all sorts of novel art forms. It feels like a whole new world has opened up for me!"

As she spoke, Qin Yao turned her phone camera to show Lin Muxi her cozy little room, where the walls were covered with various art posters and her own doodles.

It's clear that Qin Yao is doing quite well abroad.

Lin Muxi was somewhat relieved that she had finally decided to go abroad.

Lin Muxi watched and exclaimed in amazement:
Wow, that looks great! You're living a very fulfilling life.

Qin Yao turned the camera back to her own face, her bright eyes blinking, a hint of longing in her expression:
"But sometimes I still miss home and you all."

Lin Muxi looked at Qin Yao on the other end of the video and said:

Lin Muxi stared intently at Qin Yao on the other end of the video, her eyes filled with longing. "I miss you too."

The two girls gazed at each other silently through the screen. For a moment, a thousand words were condensed into a silent look, and the surrounding air seemed to stand still.

After a long while, Qin Yao was the first to recover from this intense emotion.

She forced a smile and deliberately spoke in a lighthearted tone:

"Baby, I've sent you the latest plan. You have to reserve a spot for me there, okay? If there's no place for me, I'll definitely make you regret it when I get back to China!"

Lin Muxi's lips curled slightly, she pursed her lips, her eyes full of laughter, and said:

"I've already arranged everything perfectly for you, right next to me. We'll 'slack off' together then!"

Qin Yao couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't corrupt me! If we really start 'slacking off' together, our studio might not be able to stay afloat! By the way, how's the studio going? Is everything going smoothly?" (End of Chapter)
