Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

The York Corporation's Huyoniville branch hadn't officially opened yet, but the company had already rented the office space, set up the necessary equipment, and hired a significant number of workers.

Grandma York was someone who strongly believed in fate and fortune-tellers. Naturally, the grandchildren she raised inherited that belief.

Every time a new branch was about to open, the family would consult a fortune- teller to choose an auspicious day for the official launch, hoping it would bring wealth and prosperity to the business.

Evan had already asked a fortune-teller to pick a lucky date, but that day hadn't

arrived yet.

So for now, the employees just came in to clean and decorate the office.

As long as they showed up to work, they'd get paid this way, they wouldn't grow impatient waiting for the branch to open and decide to take other jobs.
