On the wide, bright asphalt road, three cars sped one after another.
Leading the way was a Wrangler, followed by a "Tiger Head" sedan, and then a box truck.
In the Tiger Head sedan, Liu Kaihe was driving this time, with Qin Chuan in the passenger seat and Ge Lan in the back.
Ye Meiyun was not with them; she had gone to her younger brother's Wrangler.
Having not seen each other for a long time, the siblings naturally had a lot of catching up to do.
As the cars drove on, the scenery along the asphalt road became increasingly prosperous. Skyscrapers stood tall, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
"As expected of Beijing, it's truly the capital. No matter how good or prosperous other cities are, the moment you set foot on this land, a sense of national pride arises from the heart. This is something other places can never replace!"
In the Tiger Head sedan, Ge Lan rolled down the window and gazed at the towering skyscrapers on either side, sighing softly.
"Director Ge, have you been to many cities?"
Liu Kaihe, driving, instinctively asked.
"Of course!"
Perhaps it was because they were in Beijing, but Ge Lan's mood seemed to have improved, and she was willing to share her experiences with others.
"When I was young, I visited many places, such as Rongcheng, Huacheng, Modu, Meng Province, and Qiongzhou. This is my first time in Beijing."
Qin Chuan, sitting in the passenger seat and quietly admiring the appearance of Beijing in this era, was involuntarily drawn to Ge Lan's words.
"Director Ge, your life has been so wonderful, having been to so many big cities."
Qin Chuan turned his head to look at his market department supervisor behind him.
While she didn't possess the same strong aura of elegance and luxury as Ye Meiyun, she had a distinct charm of a mature woman.
Her figure was also excellent. At twenty-eight, she was at the stage where a woman sheds all her immaturity and fully enters her prime – plump and juicy, with a rich texture when bitten.
Seeing Qin Chuan turn, Ge Lan smiled, revealing two faint dimples on her face.
"When I was young, I was quite wild. My dream was to travel the world, so I went to many places."
"Director Ge, traveling the world requires a lot of money. Did you have that much money?"
Liu Kaihe couldn't help but ask again.
"Who says traveling the world requires a lot of money? I found a job to support myself in every city I visited. I worked while using my holidays to explore and experience the scenery, culture, and geography of different places."
Ge Lan explained.
Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Director Ge, your attitude towards life is fantastic. It's at least better than ninety percent of people in our country!"
Ge Lan smiled faintly. "I think it's alright. Everyone has their own attitude towards life."
"Since you've been to so many big cities, Director Ge, why did you ultimately return to Yongnan County, a small county town?"
Liu Kaihe asked.
Qin Chuan also listened quietly.
On the back seat, Ge Lan heard the question, and a brief confusion appeared in her eyes, which then became complex, before finally settling into a calm expression.
"It's nothing, I just got tired of wandering. I realized that the world is vast, but home is best."
"Every blade of grass and every tree here is incomparable to anywhere else."
Ge Lan smiled gently, giving an ambiguous answer.
Liu Kaihe was about to ask more, but Qin Chuan suddenly reminded him, "Supervisor Liu, don't get distracted. The car in front is changing lanes!"
In this world, everyone has their own story. Since Ge Lan was unwilling to say more, there was no need for excessive curiosity. It was a rather impolite behavior.
Along the way, following the Wrangler, the surrounding buildings gradually brought back a flicker of familiar memory for Qin Chuan.
He suddenly remembered that the Central Television Station had not yet relocated in this era. It was located at No. 11 Fuxing Road, Haidian District, very close to the Military Museum.
After about forty minutes of driving, their destination was finally reached!
The group alighted and looked up at the towering buildings before them. In the sunlight, the five golden characters of "Central Television" shimmered brilliantly.
The entrance of CCTV was bustling with people, coming and going ceaselessly.
"Let's go, we're going in!"
Ye Huaian said.
"I've already asked a friend inside to make arrangements."
Qin Chuan nodded, glanced at the people following behind him, and finally said to the two young employees, "You two stay here and keep an eye on our products."
"Yes, boss!"
The two employees nodded, their excitement evident in their expressions.
Although they couldn't go inside CCTV to visit, they were already extremely satisfied to have followed their boss to Beijing and witnessed sights they had never seen before.
The others followed Ye Huaian into the television station.
Outside, the noise was like a busy market, but inside, the scene was completely different.
Inside the clean and bright building, although there seemed to be many people, everyone walked with a sense of urgency, and even their conversations were kept to a low murmur, exuding a high level of professionalism.
It was indeed worthy of being the leader of all television platforms in the country; it possessed a distinct aura.
The group followed Ye Huaian into the elevator and arrived on the sixth floor.
This was an office area, and everything they saw and did exuded professionalism.
"Sister, Qin Chuan, you wait here for a moment. I'll go in and see first."
Ye Huaian said.
"Go ahead, we'll wait here."
Qin Chuan replied immediately, and Ye Meiyun also nodded.
Ye Huaian left, leaving Qin Chuan and his group waiting idly.
During this time, many people came and went, casting curious glances.
The group Qin Chuan led was quite large, and among them, Ye Meiyun and Ge Lan were exceptionally beautiful.
As is well known, where there are beautiful women, attention is bound to be drawn.
"What are you here for? Why are you standing here?"
Suddenly, a woman in uniform, wearing an ID badge, with her hair neatly styled, walked in from the entrance.
She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, beautiful, with a great figure, but her expression was very serious. Every movement she made exuded a cold, powerful aura that made it difficult to look directly at her.
She was clearly a strong, capable woman.
"Hello, we're here to advertise!"
Qin Chuan said quickly, while his eyes rapidly scanned the woman, noticing the position and name on her ID badge – Leng Ningshuang, Advertising Department.
Her name truly suited her; it was not an exaggeration at all.
"Advertise?"
Leng Ningshuang's sharp gaze fell on Qin Chuan's face.
"What kind of advertisement do you want to run?"
"We are planning to promote our own product. A friend of ours has already gone inside to find someone from your department."
Qin Chuan explained quickly.
As they were speaking, footsteps approached, and then Ye Huaian appeared with a man in his thirties.
"Beauty, my friend is out."
Leng Ningshuang looked up, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly when she recognized the man.
At the same moment, the man walking out with Ye Huaian saw Leng Ningshuang. He immediately abandoned Ye Huaian and rushed over, a bright smile on his face.
"Group leader Leng, you're back from your business trip?"
