"Mr. Shi." Ning Youguang stood to the side, watching Shi Wangyue help her take her luggage out of the car trunk, "We’re going to the mountains this time, right?"
Last week, Shi Wangyue said the company was organizing a retreat and asked if she wanted to go.
She asked about the timing, and when she heard it was over the weekend, she said, "I should be able to go."
Today, once they confirmed they could leave together, they packed everything they needed to bring before heading out in the morning.
Presently, he was helping carry some of the essentials she packed at school.
Originally, she thought she didn’t have classes in the afternoon, so she could head to the meeting point early, but he showed up earlier than she planned to pick her up from school.
"Yes." Shi Wangyue closed Ning Youguang’s car trunk, "There’s still two hours until the meeting, do you need to buy anything?"
"Should we go to the supermarket to buy some snacks?" Ning Youguang asked.
"If it’s food, there’s no need, Assistant Jin will prepare it," Shi Wangyue said.
"Then there’s nothing else to prepare."
"Let’s head to the company first."
The retreat’s bus was waiting downstairs at "Starlight."
"Sure." Ning Youguang had no objections to this.
In less than an hour, the entire "Starlight" employees knew the boss brought along the boss lady, and she was joining them for the retreat.
Everyone was extremely excited.
Although there was still an hour until the departure time, many people were already in a leisure mode.
Soon, Ning Youguang also learned that this "Starlight" retreat was not only about going to the mountains, but it was different from past retreats; aside from the fixed accommodation, there were no set itineraries.
Upon reaching the destination, everyone could choose to chill or unwind.
"Because everyone wants to relax." Shi Wangyue shared all the employee feedback gathered by Assistant Jin regarding this company retreat with Ning Youguang.
"Indeed." Ning Youguang lazily leaned back on the sofa in Shi Wangyue’s office, "I like relaxing too."
"Then let’s really unwind this time." Despite his busy schedule, Shi always makes time to work after coming back with his wife.
...
After eight o’clock in the evening.
The "Starlight" crew collectively arrived by bus at the designated retreat spot—a renowned mountain guesthouse.
The guesthouse was called "Echo of the Wild."
As everyone got off the bus, they looked up to see countless stars glimmering like shards of diamond above. Though the night was dark, and the light from the guesthouse’s corridors didn’t illuminate far, the air was refreshingly cool and fragrant, accompanied by the sound of mountain springs and the chirps of insects.
Their senses were instantly awakened, feeling the unique healing vibe of the mountains.
"This place is so soothing."
"It’s truly beautiful and comfortable here."
Some were captivated by the guesthouse and its surroundings.
Someone with sharp eyes noticed the lawn in the woods outside the guesthouse.
"There’s a lawn over there, perfect for relaxing."
There were also thoughts about tomorrow, "I wonder how the scenery will be here during the daytime, hope it’s as beautiful as expected."
A laid-back team member responded, "Who cares about tomorrow, let’s enjoy today."
Others who had researched online beforehand shared, "This guesthouse has excellent facilities; there’s a rooftop, a swimming pool, a lawn, and even its own horse ranch, with a riverbank nearby. We can fully enjoy the wilderness these days."
"It even has a horse ranch?"
"So, we can go horse riding tomorrow?"
"Let’s check with the leader later; it should be fine."
"Is the riverbank beautiful? Is it good for photos?"
"We’ll find out tomorrow during the inspection, won’t we?"
Their curiosity was piqued, and they all excitedly rushed toward whatever interested them.
Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue stood at the back of the crowd, watching everyone laugh and play, feeling their own spirits lifted.
...
"Everyone come and get your room keys; once you’ve got your keys, head to your rooms to settle in, then come down to the restaurant for dinner."
Since there were no pre-scheduled activities for this retreat, all arrangements were made by the company’s administrative department.
Therefore, the team leader was the administrative department’s sole handsome guy.
With his tall stature and long legs, the guy quickly dashed into the guesthouse to get the room keys for everyone as soon as the bus stopped.
