The second day after Yan Luoxi took up her new position, she got up early with great energy to prepare for her first day of work.
Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Yan Luoxi looked at the brown slim-fitting suit she was wearing.
Because she had just given birth, her originally slender waist now had some extra flesh. However, this suit made her waist look纖細動人,自己看著都覺得滿意。
As she happily admired herself in the mirror, Yan Luoxi asked Xue Liping, "You really have good taste. Look at the dresses you bought for me, each one looks so beautiful when I wear them. Are they very expensive"
"Yes, yes, they are quite expensive," replied Xue Liping, who was busy trying on clothes beside her and paused in surprise upon being asked. Looking into the mirror, she couldn't help but exclaim, "International brands really do have quality. Although they're outrageously priced, there's a reason for their high cost. There's no denying it."
Indeed, Li An had an eye for quality. The clothes he chose were just right and also willing to spend money generously. He was very generous with his daughter as well as himself.
The first day as the CEO, despite Xue Liping's advice, Yan Luoxi arrived ten minutes earlier than usual. By then, quite a few employees had already come to the company. Seeing Yan Luoxi
Parted like Moses parted the Red Sea with a step to the side. More chapters available at [source website]. He greeted Yan Luoxi and Xue Liping with a friendly smile. "President, good morning. Assistant Xue, good morning."
Yan Luoxi behaved modestly, nodding politely in response. Xue Liping nodded slightly in an imposing manner. The two of them walked together into the president's elevator. Unconsciously, Yan Luoxi let out a small sigh of relief.
Upon entering her own impressive office, Yan Luoxi noticed that it had been specially decorated. Among yesterday’s formal wooden furnishings were added many green plants; huge flowers and shrubs were placed by the windows and at the entrance, while a row of small potted landscapes sat on the window sills, all looking fresh.
Sitting in her leather executive chair, Yan Luoxi was somewhat dumbfounded by the piles of documents before her. The new president knew nothing about company affairs; even the cleaners might know more than she did.
Just as Yan Luoxi was at a loss for what to do next, the company's Executive General Manager walked in. This man was called Zhang Yingda, whom Li Yi specially introduced her to yesterday, saying that no matter what she didn’t understand, she could always ask Zhang Yingda; any problems she faced, he would help solve them without fear of him laughing at her. Zhang Yingda had been a direct subordinate of the Li family for many years.
Yan Luoxi vaguely sensed that this Zhang Yingda, who had always smiled at Li Yi, knew something about her relationship with Li An. More chapters available at [source website].
Zhang Yingda was in his forties and had a square face with a masculine appearance. Though not particularly old, deep wrinkles were etched around his eyes and there were nasolabial lines on the corners of his mouth; he appeared to be an inwardly reserved and serious person, exuding an intimidating presence that seemed somewhat reminiscent of the Li family.
Yan Luoxi knew she would need Zhang Yingda’s assistance in many ways going forward. So when he entered, she greeted him with a smile. "General Manager Zhang, good morning."
Zhang Yingda gave Yan Luoxi a faint smile, the most casual action he could do for her at the moment.
Yan Luoxi gestured for Zhang Yingda to sit on the sofa beside her and personally made tea for him.
Zhang Yingda accepted the teacup with both hands, sipped half a mouthful, then placed a stack of documents in front of Yan Luoxi: "This is an introduction to the company. It's quite detailed. There are also recent years' operational statuses and main projects. Below that is a list of key personnel. Read through it first. I'll explain other matters about the company slowly to you later."
In fact, based on experience and capability, Zhang Yingda should be in charge of Huoyuan Group now. But with Li Yi's instructions, Zhang Yingda was willing to serve as a stepping stone for Yan Luoxi. He knew that Yan Luoxi would inevitably become the future young madam of the Li family. This was merely an interim period, and he was also happy to cooperate in this performance arranged by the two young masters of the Li family. They certainly wouldn’t let him lose out in the end.
Zhang Yingda was shrewd enough to know that Yan Luoxi currently had no idea about company matters. He couldn’t teach her business strategies, but at least he needed to inform her of some things. As she would be the president of Huoyuan Group for a short time, she would still need to participate in social engagements and gatherings. She shouldn’t embarrass herself; he must assist her wholeheartedly.
Yan Luoxi spent half an hour going through these materials, and with the information that her mother had helped her catch up on recently, she came to this conclusion: The company was a large undertaking, an established and well-established real economy enterprise. Thousands of people relied on Huoyuan Group for their livelihoods, and decades of operations had set fixed patterns in place. The chances of making quick gains here were minimal.
When Yan Luoxi realized this, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat dejected and regretted coming to Huoyuan Group just because it was a bargain. She now found herself unable to reap any benefits while being trapped here.
Just as Yan Luoxi was sighing behind her desk, Xu Liping came in with high spirits. "Luoxi, it’s lunchtime. What would you like to eat... Why do you look so glum"
Yan Luoxi looked at her mother dejectedly and pointed to the documents in front of her. "I don’t understand any of these things. What’s the point of being a director here I might as well go back home."
"You brat, why are you like this" Schuyler Lipyung glared at Yan Luoxi angrily. "Didn’t I tell you before that everything can be learned If you could learn everything instantly, wouldn’t you become a superhuman Everything needs to be done step by step. Don’t pay attention to what those old-timers in the company say or do for now. Once you’re familiar with your work, then think about how to get rid of them. Isn’t this company yours to control as you see fit"
Yan Luoxi knew that things wouldn’t be as simple as her mother said they would be, but her mother’s words still gave her some hope. She took a deep breath and stood up from her seat. "Alright, I’ll listen to you. Let’s go eat first, then get well-rested. Afterward, we’ll have it out with these old-timers."
Li An heard that Yan Luoxi had started working at Hongyuan Group and was itching to take action. If not for his older brother reminding him repeatedly, he would have come to Hongyuan on the day of her job commencement.
Since he couldn’t see Yan Luoxi at Hongyuan in a short time, Li An resorted to underhanded methods once again and installed needle cameras in Yan Luoxi’s office. From his own office, he could now watch Yan Luoxi at Hongyuan.
Watching her profile basked in the morning light, watching her lazily resting on the desk, watching her sneakily rummaging around without any guard... mischievous yet innocent...
Li An couldn’t help but want to laugh and feel frustrated at the same time.
She was his wife, yet he could neither get close to nor show affection for her; he could only watch her from afar. Yet, he found it impossible to stop himself...ous act disgusting."Qu Wange's face alternated between red and pale. Ni Xuanyi grabbed Meng Mang's hand, turned her head towards Li Yi, and said, "Brother Li Yi, we're leaving now, goodbye!"Ni Xuanyi...
