Meanwhile, Jiang Ning was already in his office.

Good morning, Director Jiang.

Along the way, many people greeted her, and Jiang Ning simply nodded in response.

Returning to Huan Yu after three months, Jiang Ning felt almost like a stranger.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

The moment Lina saw Jiang Ning, she almost threw herself at him and burst into tears.

Even though Jiang Ning was around, she was always helping to handle all sorts of things, but when it came to actually doing it herself, she felt incredibly exhausted.

Seeing this, Min immediately pulled Lina back, afraid that she would go crazy and scare Jiang Ning away again.

"Alright, alright, I know you've worked hard. I've already mentioned it to my superiors, and I've already discussed giving you a promotion and a raise."

When he's out in public, Jiang Ning maintains a rather serious demeanor, but once he's back in the office, he becomes more relaxed around his department.

Because they couldn't find suitable people, they would only consult her on some decisions they couldn't make up their minds to; most of the time, they had to take care of things themselves.

Lina deserves much credit for this.

Jiang Ning had already submitted these matters long before he was preparing to return to his post.

However, she knew that she wouldn't be back for long.

When the time is right, she will still leave, because she can't give up on Yan Keyi's affairs.

Jiang Ning enjoys designing, but she has no intention of seeing her designs mass-produced and sold. She only wants to design for Yan Keyi, which is perfectly acceptable.

Therefore, either she needs to recruit suitable people, or Jiang Ning needs to train them as quickly as possible. Once they are truly capable of independently facing all problems, that will be the time for her to formally submit her resignation.

"Lina, get ready. In half an hour, give me a report on your work over the past few months."

While a department shouldn't be unable to function without a leader, a department leader should also be able to lead the department to better development.

Jiang Ning needs to investigate Lina's work performance during this period.

Although Lina kept yelling, when it came to actually doing some work, she would immediately get into work mode.

"Alright, boss."

All projects are already archived with Lina, so organizing them before going to Jiangning isn't a difficult task.

Half an hour later, Lina entered Jiang Ning's office with the documents.

It took Lina more than two hours to summarize their work over the past few months in the most concise and clear language possible.

Jiang Ning also saw in Lina the hope that he could entrust the department to her.

"Boss, that concludes my report. Do you have any further questions?"

After saying all this, Lina sighed. She felt that the results she had given Jiang Ning should not have let him down for his trust and guidance.

Jiang Ning had great trust in Lina's work abilities. And this performance review report further fueled his desire to continue mentoring Lina.

But she should also ask Lina's opinion first.

"Lina, would you like to sit in my seat?"

Although Lina has essentially been doing Jiang Ning's work for the past six months, she really doesn't dare to even think about replacing Jiang Ning.

If she's just an agent, no one will have any objections, but if she's actually put in that position, how could someone who just graduated possibly hold it?

Moreover, these past few months have already exhausted her. If she had to work like this every day, she would be completely worn out!

Although she felt Lina was a suitable candidate, she wouldn't force her if Lina herself wasn't willing.

She has also been contacting her designer friends abroad.

One of them is interested in domestic design and is now willing to work in China.

Jiang Ning thought that if they really couldn't find anyone, they could invite her over.

That friend has a high international standing, so her departure won't have a significant impact on Huan Yu.

"Boss, are you planning to quit for good?"

When Lina heard Jiang Ning's question, this was her first thought. However, she couldn't immediately give an answer to Jiang Ning's question.

She really needs to think this through carefully. On the surface, it seems like a great opportunity for promotion and a raise. If word got out that she had become a department director just one or two years after graduation, how impressive would that be?

But Lina will consider whether she truly has the skills to match the position.

If she didn't have it, she didn't think she could lead the department forward.

Lina is grateful for Jiang Ning's cultivation and recognition, so she doesn't want Jiang Ning's hard-earned achievements over the years to be ruined by her.

"Well, as for Yiyi, I plan to set up my own studio later. It's not set up yet, but it's already in the preparation stage. Once I get busy, I definitely won't be able to manage both at the same time."

Lina was considered one of his own, and Jiang Ning didn't hide anything from her about his career plans.

"I understand, but I still want to discuss this with Sister Min and the others. However, we've really worked hard these past few days. When Keyi's movie is released, you have to invite us to see it, right, boss?"

Lina will put aside things she hasn't figured out yet, but she'll definitely fight for this matter with Jiang Ning.

Once Yan Keyi becomes famous, won't they be among the earliest fans?

"Please, let's book the whole office together then."

Jiang Ning would definitely not refuse to support Yan Keyi's career.

After receiving Jiang Ning's affirmative reply, Lina went out.

Now, it's time to discuss the follow-up matters with everyone.

After finishing all his tasks, Jiang Ning sent a message to Yan Keyi.

When we're together every day, I don't feel like she's very noticeable, but once we're apart, I find it hard to get through the days without her.

Looking at the message he had just sent, Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh.

When did she go from being so dedicated to her work to being so absent-minded about it?

Yan Keyi was probably in class, so she didn't see the message.

Jiang Ning was about to quit WeChat, but then he saw a message from Qin Yiran.
