Can't handle it? How did it turn into whether I can handle it or not? That's not the point.
I should explain it to her clearly first.
Bai Ningning thought this and then coldly said, "No, what I mean is, it's unnecessary."
Li Yue was slightly taken aback.
"Unnecessary?"
"Yes, unnecessary," Bai Ningning straightened her body, maintaining a serious expression, as if to say, "Let me pause and say a few words," "A proper team should have clearly defined roles and allocate various resources, including manpower, reasonably."
Li Yue's eyelids twitched.
Bai Ningning continued, "And having one person take on multiple roles and handle everything is something that only happens in small independent studios or in teams with chaotic management and insufficient funding."
Li Yue: "I…"
"Manager Li, if our project's budget is tight," Bai Ningning said leisurely, "you can just say so."
That should be fine; I feel like I spoke very politely and quite emotionally intelligent, just not sure how effective it is—Bai Ningning thought to herself, feeling pleased.
Li Yue took a deep breath, her voice becoming somewhat low.
"Secretary Bai misunderstood; our budget is not lacking at all. In fact, the project team has already acquired some professionals, absolutely qualified."
"Then that's settled," Bai Ningning smiled lightly, "let's go with that."
Half an hour later, in the company's little gossip group, everyone finally waited for Li Yue to come online.
[Manager Li, how's it going?]
[What kind of person is Secretary Bai?]
[Give us some intel.]
But Li Yue only sent one message: [Don't ask, I messed up, now I have to go apologize to President Qin.]
[???]
......
"What did you say?" Qin Mom's voice trembled slightly, "Say it again?"
Aunt Zou hesitated for a moment and said, "The second young lady may have some feelings for Miss Ningning that she shouldn't have."
"You didn't say that just now," Qin Mom said expressionlessly, "You said she likes the little succubus."
"And it's the kind of liking that is similar to how her sister likes the other person," Qin Dad interjected, "By the way, what kind of liking does Qin Yue have?"
Is it different from ordinary people?
Aunt Zou glanced at Qin Mom, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Qin Mom thought for a moment and suddenly changed her expression: "You told me before that Yueyue's attitude towards the little succubus has changed from romantic liking to…"
Changed to still liking, but wanting to be more aggressive… towards her.
"Yes, that's the kind," Aunt Zou said cautiously, "the second young lady is the same."
Otherwise, why can Qin Xin usually hide herself in daily life, but only can't hold back when Qin Yue and Bai Ningning go to bed?
This indicates that her feelings for Bai Ningning are also that kind of liking!
Qin Mom was struck by lightning, unable to say a word for a long time. Qin Dad quietly picked up the walnut, holding it in his hand and continuing to play with it.
The atmosphere was too tense just now, which scared him, but upon thinking about it, isn't this just a matter of a few girls being in love with each other? Why make such a big deal out of it?
Chairman Qin had been deeply involved in business battles and political intrigues; what kind of scenes hadn't he seen? Compared to those matters, this is just a little romance, nothing major.
As for what Qin Mom and Aunt Zou were saying about this kind of liking and that kind of liking, making it sound like riddles, he didn't understand and didn't bother to ask.
Anyway, it's just the feelings of a little girl, love, love, nothing serious.
So, he spoke up: "This issue isn't a big deal; let's not get off topic and focus on what we should be thinking about now."
Qin Mom was taken aback: "Not a big deal?"
"It's not a big deal; Qin Xin didn't argue with her sister over this matter," Qin Dad analyzed, "It just sounds like she has developed feelings in secret."
Qin Mom looked at Aunt Zou, who nodded.
Indeed, the second young lady had not revealed her feelings and thought she was hiding them well.
"So, let's continue discussing the estrangement between the two sisters," Qin Dad asked, "You said they hardly talk to each other; this is serious and we must find a way to resolve it."
"This is a deadlock; there's nothing we can do. After all, they are nearly ten years apart, and the generation gap is too deep," Qin Mom pulled her attention back and shook her head, "They can't play together, and the root of the problem lies in the lack of common topics and interests."
Qin Dad stopped cracking walnuts: "They... really have no common interests?"
Qin Mom noticed his expression and was slightly taken aback.
"No, no... no, absolutely not!"
......
"She refused; I could have guessed that. She was very cautious when I talked to her."
In the video call, Qin Yue looked puzzled: "But I didn't expect that you would give in so easily after just a few words."
Li Yue came over to apologize and recounted the conversation process, including how she directly mentioned plans for acquisition and funding, and that she brought it up herself.
Li Yue's face turned pale and flushed: "I'm sorry, President Qin, I... I don't know what happened."
Bai Ningning only said a few words, but her cute cherry lips and her cool little face made it inexplicably charming, hard to resist.
In that moment, Li Yue just spilled everything.
Qin Yue pinched her finger joints: "If she doesn't want to be a producer and doesn't want to be the operations director, what does she want to do?"
"She said she just wants to be a representative of the investors," Li Yue replied.
A representative of the investors is not an easy position to take the blame for. Moreover, more importantly, handing things over to professionals reduces the chances of messing up.
"There's no rush; let's arrange it this way for now," Qin Yue said slowly, "It's just the formation stage; there will be many more opportunities later."
"Understood."
After ending the video call, Qin Yue picked up a cup of goji berry chrysanthemum tea from the table and took a few gentle sips.
I didn't expect that little green tea would be quite capable; with just a few words, she made Manager Li lose her composure. This kind of skill really is her talent.
Just then, the phone rang; it was from home.
"Hello, Mom?"
"Yueyue, what are you doing now? Are you busy?"
It was indeed Qin Mom's voice.
"Not really busy," Qin Yue glanced at the recently ended video, "I handled some simple work and am now resting."
"Oh, make sure to rest well," Qin Mom hesitated for a moment and asked her, "The family gathering at the end of the month, you remember that, right?"
"I remember, I know," Qin Yue replied, "I will go."
This was something they had agreed on long ago, so she naturally wouldn't go back on her word.
Besides, it's still early in the month; there are still two weeks to go.
"Well, since it's a family gathering, it would be nice to have a lively atmosphere," Qin Mom said with a complicated tone, "So, bring her along."
Qin Yue raised an eyebrow: "Her?"
"That little succubus... cough, Bai Ningning."
"Okay, I got it."
Although she didn't know why, it was still quite good. Having little green tea accompany her back would at least make it less boring.
