A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"What? President Li went there voluntarily?"

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, clearly somewhat incredulous.

Li Xixue is notoriously difficult to meet in the industry. Not only do people not come to her, but even large companies in the city have to make an appointment and wait in line if they want to see her.

Now she'd actually make a trip herself for a small vacation project?

This doesn't make sense!

Liu Lili continued, "That's not the point. The point is that the list of staff that President Li brought on this business trip... only has one person."

"Who?"

"Lu Yang".

I only bring one person with me on a business trip.

In the past, when Li Xixue went on business trips, she would bring at least three or four people with her.

One assistant, one liaison officer, one analyst, and sometimes a legal counsel.

But you're only bringing one person this time?

Moreover, she was a new employee who had only been with the company for a short time.

"you mean……"

Zhao Lei looked at her, and his gaze was clear enough.

Liu Lili crossed her arms over her chest:

"You were also present at the last meeting. You know how President Li treated him, you're not blind."

Zhao Lei saw it, of course.

The dozen or so managers sat in the conference room for half an hour, just waiting for a late intern.

After the intern came in, he sat down right next to Li Xixue.

Even the vice president has never sat in that position.

"So now you understand, right?"

Looking at Zhao Lei, who was completely astonished and silent, Liu Lili said in a flat tone: "President Li is not only training newcomers, but also paving the way for them."

After Sun Wenbo left, the position of analysis department manager remained vacant.

According to normal procedures, he should be promoted from within, such as Zhao Lei, Liu Lili, or other qualified analysts.

But now it seems that this position...

It's hanging in the balance.

If Li Xixue insists on putting Lu Yang in this position, no one can stop her.

Zhao Lei gave a wry smile.

"This kid's only been here a few days? Less than a week, right?"

"Someone who hasn't even been here a week ago has been parachuted into the company's management?"

"...Alright then."

Zhao Lei sighed, his tone full of envy.

Having connections is really advantageous.

Zhao Lei sighed, "Then from now on... we'll have to change how we address each other."

……

Ding!

The elevator reached the top floor.

When Lu Yang came out, there were hardly any people left on the entire floor.

After all, it was almost time to leave work, and most employees had already packed up their things and were ready to go.

At this time.

I happened to run into my assistant, Chen Yan, who was coming out of the office, ready to leave work.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, Chen Yan flashed her signature smile: "Mr. Lu, Manager Li... is waiting for you in his office."

The fact that she mentioned the word "manager" clearly shows that she hasn't fully recovered from what happened last time.

Lu Yang nodded politely to Chen Yan, then turned around, knocked twice on the office door, and went inside.

Li Xixue sat behind her desk, not in the dark office lady outfit she wore during the day, but in a light V-neck black satin shirt with a slightly low neckline revealing her delicate collarbone, over which she wore a white inner layer.

Her hair was tied up again, looser than usual, with a few stray strands hanging down beside her ears.

Li Xixue raised her head, her expression blank, and said coldly, "The materials are on the table, the one on the left."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang opened it and took a look.

There are about two or three pages of paper inside.

I'll be meeting with the client at 10 AM tomorrow to sign the contract, and then the afternoon is my free time.

The company that signed the agreement is a local cultural tourism group.

This tourism company has a piece of land by the sea and plans to build a high-end resort, but they desperately need an investment, so they approached them.

"How much do you plan to invest?" Lu Yang asked.

"The initial offer was 30 million," Li Xixue replied after thinking for a moment.

"Thirty million?"

Lu Yang couldn't help but ask, "Is it really necessary for you to make this trip yourself?"

To be honest, 30 million is a lot.

But this only applies to ordinary people.

Xueyu Group, on the other hand, is a large company worth tens of billions.

For a company of this size, this is just a small, ordinary order.

In other words, there's no need for me to personally handle small orders of this size.

Li Xixue placed her hands on the table, crossed:

"The project itself is indeed not large, but the location of the land is good, and the surrounding facilities are also in the planning stage. It has value in the long run. Moreover, the owner of the other party has a relationship with my father. My going there is also a way of giving him face."

Lu Yang nodded, indicating that he roughly understood.

To put it bluntly, it's just a trip out of consideration for our old relationship.

The project is secondary; personal relationships are primary.

After all, in today's society, interpersonal relationships and social niceties are still indispensable.

Lu Yang turned to the next page.

The other company's basic information, and a draft contract.

The content is not complicated; it's much simpler than the last merger and acquisition deal.

"During the integration process, you will primarily be responsible for the financial data."

Li Xixue said, "The other party's CFO will be there. If you have any questions, just talk to him directly."

"OK."

Lu Yang nodded and closed the document.

Li Xixue tapped her finger twice on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There's one more thing."

Lu Yang pricked up his ears.

Li Xixue spoke in a flat tone, as if she were commenting on the weather, as she tapped on the keyboard on the table and said, "After Sun Wenbo was taken away, the position of analysis department manager has remained vacant..."

Lu Yang paused for a moment: "So..."

Li Xixue turned to look at him: "After this business trip project is completed, you can take his place in this seat for now."

These words were spoken.

The office was quiet for a long time.

Lu Yang blinked, his lips slightly parted, his expression a little strange.

"The manager's position? For me?"

Well, when most people hear news of a promotion, their normal reaction should be excitement, or even being flattered.

But Lu Yang did not.

He is now only confused and bewildered.

He was just a new employee, how did he get promoted?

Perhaps because Lu Yang's behavior was so unusual, Li Xixue quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, you're just acting as an interim representative. Once I find a more suitable candidate, you can leave."

Okay, okay, still being arrogant, huh?

Lu Yang didn't expose her, but instead said, "I won't do it."

"?"

Li Xixue thought she had misheard: "What did you say?"

I said, I won't do it.

Lu Yang repeated it again, very directly.

To be honest, he never even considered getting a promotion at the company.

He was brought to this company purely because of a system task.

And interns are great, aren't they?

There's little work, little pressure, and flexible working hours; you can leave as soon as you finish your tasks.

manager?

Even a dog wouldn't do that.

He has endless meetings, reports to write, and people to manage all day long. Just thinking about it gives him a headache.

Moreover, his focus is not on the company at all.

How can a dignified man like myself submit to another woman?
