The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

(To those brothers pulling all-nighters on the weekend, how are you~~~~)

That guy Ye Jiahong always seems to have bundles of cash in the office. After hearing Li Yan's words, he impatiently pulls out another bundle. "Here's ten thousand bucks, enough for you to treat them to a good meal. Consider it my personal bonus to you. I really can't figure out what good you've done for me."

Li Yan shakes his head and sighs, "Ye, I have to criticize you! You're not seeing things clearly. Think about it, what kind of person am I? Just a small employee surviving for a living, wherever I get transferred, I won't be any trouble to you. You take care of me without gaining any real benefits. But don't forget, Uncle Sun is the deputy chairman of the board, one of the founders along with the chairman, and a major shareholder. Why would he give such a small favor to you and not to someone else?

Wasn't Director Hai Fu around for less time than you? Is Chairman Sun closer to her or to you? Is it harder for her to arrange people than it is for you? What about Wang Ziyu from HR, isn't he familiar with every department? Chen Aiyuan from the planning department, is it hard for him to arrange someone? Ye, Uncle Sun thinks highly of you, giving you an opportunity! Are you content as a business director? Don't you want to be a vice president or something? Never mind, since you're so displeased, I'll find a chance to report to him, returning his favor to you. I've only been here a few months, my total salary barely hits ten thousand. No more talk, no more talk..."

Saying this, Li Yan shakes his head, gets up, and walks away with a cigarette in his mouth. After a few steps, he turns back to grab a piece of paper.

Ye Jiahong listens to Li Yan's words like he's waking from a dream! He is a clever person but has always seen Li Yan as a leech, never considering what benefits he could gain from him. That's why last time he made a foolish move, urging Li Yan to pursue Hai Fu. Now, hearing him say this, Ye realizes the key benefit! Regardless of his relationship with Sun Qilin, just the fact that Sun Qilin didn't have this matter arranged by Hai Fu or other bosses is a noteworthy issue.

He can personally throw tens of thousands to Li Yan, let alone a favor from a deputy chairman of the board? If he can truly get Sun Qilin's attention and praise, it would certainly boost his standing in the company. Of course, he also wants to be a vice president, but that's still far off; for him, keeping the business director position is necessary. Having Li Yan there only adds a few thousand more to the salary, not a big amount he couldn't personally cover.

"Yan—just kidding!" Ye Jiahong quickly stands up, completely changing his expression, grabs Li Yan enthusiastically, and says, "How could I let you leave? You're my lucky charm! Since you came, our performance has increased significantly, and recently you've been accomplishing with Manager Wen... Anyway, I won't let you go!"

He grabs Li Yan and pushes him back into his chair.

"You keep me... as a mascot? Then I might as well change my spot, sit with the God of Wealth." Li Yan watches his change in expression, laughing sarcastically.

"Haha, you're really funny." Ye Jiahong proactively goes to pour Li Yan a cup of water, then seriously says, "Yan, I'll be honest with you! I can't bear to let you leave. This reassignment is mainly because of Hai Fu. She knows we... not messed up, but that we're buddy-buddy. Last time you made her mad for me, then didn't actually win her over. Now she wants revenge, sending you off to security. But don't worry, I'm here, I'll cover you! She decided hastily, I didn't even have a chance to discuss with you. My original idea... was to go to her with you, at most let you also take on the security assistant role, but you'd still be my person!"

"I definitely don't want to be your person."

"Haha, still part of our department! You can choose to be in the business department if you want, the security department if you prefer. I assure you'll have more freedom." Ye Jiahong says, again stuffing the wad of cash into Li Yan's hand, "Don't be shy! I sponsor your treat."

Li Yan takes it without hesitation, glances at the direction of his drawer—is this his private stash? A bit too bold, isn't it? Could crack it open later...

"Let's go! With me to find Hai Fu, I'm determined not to let you go..."

Originally, Ye Jiahong was prepared to kick Li Yan out, but now he's changed his mind, immediately dragging Li Yan to the administration department.

Li Yan was actually planning to go anyway, just wanted to stir things up a bit, not let Ye Jiahong get too comfortable. Unexpectedly, after hinting by using Sun Qilin as leverage, Ye changes his mind, which is rather amusing.

...

Li Yan and Ye Jiahong head to the administration department together. As they approach Hai Fu's office, the admin department girls' curiosity bubbles up again. Although Li Yan's rumored affair with Hai Fu seemed baffling when it came out, no one cared much where it started, and a few days after the heat died down, almost forgotten. But now, seeing Li Yan and Ye Jiahong together heading to the admin department, everyone's curiosity reignites.

"Do you think Miss Hai bullied Li Yan, and he's reporting to the boss to seek justice?"

"Reporting to the boss? Really?"

"I think maybe Ye Jiahong also wants Li Yan to hit on Miss Hai, dragging him over for a matchmaking! Could be that the previous rumor was spread by Ye Jiahong!"

"I think Li Yan and Director Ye were a happy couple, but then rumors spread about him and Hai Fu, which made Ye Jiahong jealous. So, he specifically brought Li Yan over to confront Hai Fu face to face!"

"Is that even possible? Your logic is even crazier than McDonald's ordering Kangshifu to force-feed KFC!"

"There's some logic to it, you guys think about it. It's said that Li Yan has been just going through the motions for paychecks. If there wasn't something going on between them, why would Ye Jiahong tolerate it for so long?"

"Maybe it's just someone they got introduced to, but I like your thinking..."

Li Yan and Ye Jiahong, of course, never imagined that the women had already pictured them as lovers. By now, they had already reached Hai Fu's office.

Inside, the busy Hai Fu was still dressed in her usual all-black attire, but even her hairstyle had changed a bit, indicating her desire to transform slowly. Of course, changing all at once would be hard for her to accept, let alone others.

Emotionally, she had made significant adjustments. Compared to before, she seemed more spirited. Today, regarding Li Yan's transfer, she was consulted by the HR department early in the morning. Judging from Ye Jiahong's strong advocacy, it was obvious that Ye Jiahong wanted to move Li Yan out of the business department. This made her feel hesitant. The security team lacked prospects and was relatively dull, but it depended on the person. For instance, being the deputy team leader, as long as one had connections above, it could be considered a good maneuver.

Because the security work at Heaven Group Headquarters is outsourced to a professional security company, from the security team leader to all security personnel, they are dispatched by the security company. The company's finance pays the security company, and their salaries are issued by the security company. It can be said that while their nominal work ID is for Paradise Group, they are not actually company employees—except for the deputy team leader, who is an employee arranged by Paradise Group to coordinate various matters with the security team.

With this kind of relationship, the deputy team leader is a position arranged by the administrative department for people to gain experience, not only involving the company's security but also in handling negotiations and communications with the security company and security personnel, requiring certain competencies. For instance, the recently departed deputy team leader had already been delegated to a branch office as a supervisor.

Hai Fu thought about Li Yan, who relied on connections from introductions in the business department. Ye Jiahong wouldn't openly fire him, but neither should he expect any special promotion or care. The business handled by the company headquarters involved major contracts. Even if someone wanted to learn, it's not easy; without a year or two of experience and relationship building, it's hard to achieve substantial results. In comparison, dealing with ordinary security guards, communicating between the security company and the administrative department, is much simpler and a clearer way to gain experience. That's why she was tempted and approved of this decision.

Seeing Li Yan entering, Hai Fu felt a bit panicked. Although it was out of goodwill, Li Yan might not appreciate it! Judging by his demeanor, he seemed likely to cause trouble. If she offended him while trying to help, wouldn't that be ironic...

Unexpectedly, Ye Jiahong also arrived, which made Hai Fu calm down. After glancing at them, she asked, "Director Ye, what's so important that you personally came over?"

Ye Jiahong switched to a normal demeanor, handed over a sheet of paper, and said, "Hai Fu, after my thorough consideration and repeated deliberation, Li Yan is an outstanding talent in our business department. It would be a waste of talent to send him to the security team so easily!"

Hai Fu's sharp gaze swept over their faces again. You proposed it, and now you're opposing it? Do you think you're buying vegetables? Most of the murderous intent in her gaze was directed at Ye Jiahong, while she paid special attention to Li Yan's reaction in her peripheral vision. She had some suspicion whether Ye Jiahong had learned about the security team's specific operations from HR's Wang Ziyu, and now he didn't want to give Li Yan the opportunity.

Ye Jiahong also felt a great deal of pressure from Hai Fu. He laughed a few times and added, "Hai Fu, how about this! Let's keep Li Yan in his position in the business department while also making him the deputy security team leader. As long as there are no procedural issues, we're all in agreement."

Hai Fu stared at him for a few seconds until Ye Jiahong showed a face of innocence, and then she turned away, "Colleague Li Yan, you are the person involved. What's your view on Director Ye's decision?"

Li Yan seriously stated, "More work for the capable, I firmly comply with the company management's arrangement. Director Ye said he wouldn't let me go, let's see if I have the ability?"

More work for the capable!

The moment he said it, Ye Jiahong, who had just found a chair, almost fell off, and Hai Fu almost lost her glasses. If it was truly more work for the capable, CEO Zhang wouldn't know how to describe it!

This guy is daring indeed, using such words to flirt with Hai Fu the Master? He's ready to make a bolt for it.
