Dark Purple Rose [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 16

The new week began and Zhan was back in his office as usual, taking on new assignments and getting straight to work. Yibo was supposed to be with him, but as soon as they had finished breakfast, he received a call from Agent Nax, reminding him of the weekly task force meeting that he also had to attend. So Zhan drove to the office alone and was relieved that Sia came to the office, even though she was still on vacation, because she was bored out of her mind at home.

Zhan and Sia held their own meeting in which Zhan explained to her which jobs he had already completed, that all the clients had paid him and which new jobs he had accepted. Afterwards, Sia told him about all the things she and her fiancé had gotten sorted out in the past week for the upcoming wedding. "Well, now that everything is really sorted, I've had nothing to do, I've been bored and wondering if my dear good boss might need me in the office." She concluded her story.

"I'm glad you're here. There's not much for you to do now, but maybe you could sort the emails and print out the bank statements and file them for the accounts department. Oh yes, and then there are the tax documents that need to be filled in. It would be good if you could start with that. I'll do the rest myself later." Zhan said.

"So boss, it sounds like I've got enough work to do all day today. I'll get right on it."

"If you don't get it all done today, that's okay."

"I know. Um, my schedule says you have an appointment with the manager of this one fashion store tomorrow morning at 10 a.m."

"Oh yes, that's right. It's about a new design for his store sign and business card logos. And the appointment with the managing director of Helix should be on Thursday. They need a new web design."

"Yes, it's right here. At 8 o'clock in the morning."

"Yes, he just had a free appointment that early."

"Actually, he should stick to us and how we're available. After all, he wants something from us."

"Oh, I don't really care. The important thing is that we get the job."

"That's true again. I gave my fiancé a handful of our business cards this morning and told him to hand them out in his company."

"Thank you. But do you think he'll do it?"

"Sure, why not? He did it last time and we got four new orders as a result."

"That's right. I remember."

"Um, is there anything else now?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Good, then we can have breakfast now boss. I've brought fresh rolls from the bakery. Oh and I've bought new coffee."

"Wow, you're the best."

"I know. That's why you keep me."

"Yes, of course. I'm glad you work for me. I really am."

"I really like working for you. You're a great boss, you pay well and on time and you're always super nice to me."

"Thank you."

"Hehe, so I'll get the rolls and make us some coffee."

"All right, see you in a bit." Zhan said and read through the job search on a website. It suggests people who are looking for work and fit into his search field. He has already shortlisted three people who are only looking for part-time jobs, have a lot of experience in the profession and would be available immediately.

In the agency, in a large conference room with bare walls, no windows and a bare concrete floor, the agents involved in the "Isla Isari" case gathered. At some point, the agents were divided into teams and six teams were formed, each with 8 agents plus a team leader. Yibo belongs to Team 4 under the team leadership of Agent Nax.
