The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

(Brothers, keep showing off your awesome battle power and vote! Old Lai is striving to release the fifth chapter today!)

"No way!"

Li Yan firmly shook his head.

In Ye Jiahong's office, besides Ye Jiahong and Li Yan, there was also a beautiful woman. Now, both of their gazes were focused on Li Yan.

Today was Wen Qianyi's official first day of work. She wasn't wearing a fiery red long dress, but rather a well-fitted black suit, with black high heels, and a white shirt peeking out from her chest. It was a simple and common ensemble, but her chestnut red hair made her look stunningly unique, and combined with the hint of a smile in her eyes, she exudes a bewitching charm.

"Li Yan, you know, both the company and I have high expectations for you, and we've given you a lot of opportunities. But there hasn't been much space for you to shine. Now that Ms. Wen is willing to mentor you, this is a great opportunity. Ms. Wen is a renowned business expert; by working with her, you can learn a lot." Ye Jiahong said patiently and kindly. Inwardly, he grumbled, if it wasn't for Director Sun, and if it wasn't for Wen Qianyi asking for you, I wouldn't bother with this deadbeat!

Wen Qianyi has officially joined the Business Development Department, starting as a supervisor-level employee. But her reputation seemed to exceed what Li Yan and Sun Hui anticipated. None of the other supervisors or sales staff showed jealousy or discontent; instead, they offered sincere congratulations. At least, that's how it appeared on the surface.

Her first decision at work was to apply to Ye Jiahong to assign Li Yan as her assistant partner. When asked why, she responded that Li Yan was the only idle person in the entire department, which was a waste of resources; and since she was made a supervisor, she needed to prove herself with results. She didn't want any other experienced partner, but instead wanted to elevate the most useless idle person acknowledged in the office.

Ye Jiahong felt a bit troubled by her decision. He actually wanted to say, "You don't have to take him; let him continue being useless, and you can pair up with me to tackle big projects!" However, saying this might sound like he had ulterior motives, so he decided to be more subtle. As for Li Yan, since Wen Qianyi was going to use him as a foil, if she could make him productive, great; if not, there would be no loss, and it would give Director Sun a better explanation.

But he didn't expect Li Yan to flatly refuse.

"But... I still think this isn't a good idea." Li Yan continued to shake his head.

"Why?" Ye Jiahong slightly frowned. Does this guy suspect that Wen Qianyi is just using him, the most useless, as a foil? Hmph, aren't you a foil wherever you go? Even as a clerk, you make Xiao Huang look more capable!

Wen Qianyi looked at him with a smile and said directly, "Are you afraid that you won't achieve results and embarrass yourself under my shadow? Don't worry! I'll develop your full potential!"

Li Yan was speechless, still harboring a grudge about being embarrassed that night? Trying to make fun of me?

"I'm just worried that if by some miracle I outshine you, it wouldn't matter to me as a senior employee, but it wouldn't be good for your reputation, Ms. Wen."

Seeing his serious demeanor, Ye Jiahong turned and rubbed his temples, damn, I don't know this guy...

Wen Qianyi didn't know whether to laugh or stay indifferent, still smiling, she said, "That's perfect, it means I made the right choice. Since little Li is so confident, it's settled then, Director!"

Ye Jiahong feared Li Yan would cause him internal injury, so he sternly nodded, "Li Yan, this matter is decided. From today, you will be Supervisor Wen's assistant partner. You don't have to do any previous tasks and follow Supervisor Wen's arrangements."

"Follow me."

Watching them leave, Ye Jiahong wasn't upset. Paradise Group Headquarters is filled with beauties, and in his department, there are more females than males, plenty of beauties. But these business elites aren't easy to handle, not his type either. Even though Wen Qianyi is outstanding and quite intriguing, he considers himself just admiring her because he has other crushes within the company headquarters!

...

"Pack up your things and report to my office from now on," Wen Qianyi said, then headed to her office.

The entire seventeenth floor belonged to the business department, plenty of space, with most people working in a large open office area to emphasize a collaborative work atmosphere. However, aside from the business director, to motivate performance, supervisors and the top-performing salespeople each had personal offices.

Having a private office wasn't just about more space and privacy; it was a symbol of prestige and honor, giving others a target and motivation, while putting enormous pressure on the top performers—pressure is also motivation. Internally, there had to be unity and cooperation, while also encouraging competition.

Li Yan didn't have much to pack and simply carried his laptop and went over.

Within the office area, everyone was busy with their own work, but many noticed this change. The news quickly spread throughout the business department, and everyone learned about Wen Qianyi choosing Li Yan as her assistant partner. Other supervisors had their own salespeople to manage, but it seemed Wen Qianyi only picked Li Yan.

Watching as she called Li Yan to her office, the women exchanged various glances. Given Wen Qianyi's qualities, naturally no one thought she was infatuated with Li Yan at first sight. Everyone knew Li Yan's level, and seeing her choose him, they somewhat gloated, wondering how she would handle this hard nut to crack and self-inflicted trouble!

Arriving at Wen Qianyi's office, she pointed to another desk, "Li, this will be your desk from now on."

"Ms. Wen, transferring me like this, others might think you used some 'hidden rules' on me!"

'Hidden rules'? Wen Qianyi was amused and said, "Li, do you want me to get you a mirror?"

Li Yan put down his laptop, "To be honest, I'm really curious, did Director Ye only give you me, the most useless worker, to see your performance before allocating more subordinates?"

"Honestly, I didn't expect to be appointed as a supervisor. I'm a top salesperson, used to working alone. When choosing a partner, is anyone more suitable than you here?" Wen Qianyi crossed her arms and looked at him. "First, you have no achievements, so I don't have to worry about people saying I'm benefiting from your work. Second, we've had a drink together, so we're sort of friends, more familiar than others. Third, you being idle and lazy makes you docile and harmless. I don't have to worry about you being a wolf, hehe... also curious to see how 'extraordinary' you can be."

"..." Li Yan sat down comfortably, "Do you find it very challenging now? Well, I'm looking forward to it too. Since you consider me a friend, let me kindly remind you..."

"Speak," Wen Qianyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Don't waste your time, focus on your own results. My education isn't high, I lack experience, my speaking skills aren't great, and I'm thin-skinned, only dragging you down. Anyway, I got in through connections, I won't be jobless, forcing it would trouble both you and me."

"Wow, you almost convinced me." Wen Qianyi said with a cheerful smile, "That sounds like pretty decent speaking skills, as for your thin skin, I experienced it the other day, it's definitely not ordinary."

Li Yan found her unmoved, feeling puzzled, was there a deeper reason? Did the father-in-law arrange it? Did Zhang Yurong give instructions? "If you're insistent... suit yourself. But don't call me Little Li, I'm older than you."

Wen Qianyi exaggeratedly surprised, "Do you prefer to be called Little Plum? I'm not the Empress Dowager, you know!"

Li Yan was speechless.

If you call me Little Plum, I'll call you Little Aunt (Yi)..."
