Background / History

Qin Xiaoyu was Yifei's first employee, joining during the company's early days. On her birthday in her first week, she shared a small cake with Chen Yi; he promised that if Yifei succeeded within five years, he would give her a house in Penghai. She remained with the company through its expansions, downturns, delayed salaries, excessive overtime, and periods near bankruptcy without voicing a complaint. 94

At Yi Yi Flying Store, Qin Xiaoyu handled Chen Yi's offline assistant work: liaising with suppliers and processing plants, organizing shipments, arranging production, and handling smaller cash transactions. When the store's traffic and orders declined, she worried about its possible closure but packed the merchandise without pressing Chen Yi for answers. 1 6

As Yifei expanded, she became entrusted with increasingly sensitive and consequential work. She handled official-inspection information, deposited major checks, prepared policy and bid applications, verified newly acquired laboratories, and was assigned joint responsibility with Xia Keke for their daily management. 20 39

On her birthday five years after his original promise, Chen Yi gave Qin Xiaoyu the keys to a house in Binhai. The gift reflected the exceptional trust built through their years of working together; within Yifei, she is the only employee stated to be able to address Chen Yi by name during work hours. 94

Personality

Qin Xiaoyu is considerate and quietly attentive to Chen Yi's wellbeing. She routinely prepares and reheats meals for him, including when he works through the night, while avoiding interference with his research. 39 104 105

She is dependable and methodical in her work. When official personnel inspected Yifei while Chen Yi was unavailable, she followed his instruction not to disturb him, retained the details, and reported them when asked. She also independently planned to re-investigate acquired laboratories for underperforming personnel rather than relying solely on their reports. 20 39

Although usually reserved, Qin Xiaoyu is capable of open excitement. During her first flight on a subsonic transport plane, she deliberately held back her reaction so as not to disrupt the crew, then shouted with excitement after landing. 97
