"Am I crazy? I'm not crazy. They were so determined to resign, and I agreed. Is there a problem with that?"
Ye Chen sat there and responded calmly to Antonio.
Seeing Antonio's agitation and loss of composure, Ye Chen became even more certain that this was all a play directed by Antonio, and that he had done the right thing.
"She wants to resign, Mr. Ye, are you really going to agree to it? Janet Euphemia is a top international designer, how can you possibly agree to her resignation?"
Antonio questioned again.
"Top international, but not number one internationally. She resigned, so can't we hire a designer who is even more talented than her?"
Ye Chen countered with a question.
"Haha, a designer more talented than Janet Euphemia? You're hilarious! How many designers in the world are more talented than Janet Euphemia? Even if you could, Mr. Ye, could you hire her?!"
Antonio didn't believe Ye Chen's words at all.
"What if I could get him to come?"
Ye Chen continued to ask questions.
Ye Chen has already set a trap for Antonio, and is now guiding him step by step into it without him realizing it.
"You can invite him, huh?"
"Mr. Ye, let alone hiring a designer more talented than Janet Euphemia, even if you could hire a designer of similar ability to Janet Euphemia, I would still consider you the winner."
Antonio thought Ye Chen was just being stubborn. Top designers like that are like reclusive masters; they're not so easy to hire.
“In that case, let’s make a bet. If I can hire a designer whose skills are comparable to Janet Euphemia, then the position of chief designer at Kering Group will belong to the person I hire.”
Seeing that Antonio was so agitated, Ye Chen revealed his true intentions.
"If that's not possible, then we'll rehire Janet Euphemia, double her salary, and I'll cover the extra cost, how about that?"
"Okay, it's settled then."
Antonio immediately agreed, feeling that his chances of winning were very, very high.
First, Janet Euphemia resigned, leaving the position of the group's chief designer vacant. Without his confidants in that position, something bad was bound to happen.
In fact, he didn't believe that Ye Chen could hire a designer who was more capable than Janet Euphemia, or whose abilities were about the same!
He's guaranteed to win, bringing Janet Euphemia back, and securing the important position of the group's chief designer—again, from his side!
"Okay, it's a deal."
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Antonio took the bait.
Although Janet Euphemia has resigned, it is still quite troublesome for Ye Chen to place his own person in the group's chief designer position.
He holds a limited number of shares, only a few percent more than Antonio, and does not hold a real position, so he cannot control the company for the time being and cannot directly appoint the group's chief designer.
If Ye Chen brings the person over himself, and Antonio uses his connections and influence within the company to stop him, it will be troublesome, and Ye Chen may not be able to arrange the person smoothly.
But now, he made a bet with Antonio that if he could prove that the person he found was as capable as, or even more capable than, Janet Euphemia, the position of the group's chief designer would be his.
With so many people in front of him, Antonio would never dare to go back on his word.
Ye Chen stood up and slowly walked out of the office under the watchful eyes of Antonio, Janet Euphemia, and others.
After Ye Chen left, Antonio gave Janet Euphemia and several other confidants a look before returning to his office.
Janet Euphemia and her group followed closely behind.
How confident are you?
In the CEO's office, Antonio asked Janet Euphemia a question.
"hundred percent!!!"
Janet Euphemia's answer was one of conviction.
There are indeed a few designers in the world who are more talented than her, but they are all senior figures among seniors, true giants of the highest order.
These are big shots who can't be persuaded by money.
Even if Ye Chen went to invite him, even if the owner of the world's number one Louis Vuitton Group went to invite him, he still wouldn't be able to get him to come.
Therefore, Janet Euphemia was absolutely certain that the person Ye Chen hired could not possibly surpass her.
The position of chief designer at Kering Group will definitely remain his!
That's good.
Listening to Janet Euphemia's analysis, Antonio breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile returned. Ye Chen, that kid, still wanted to compete with him for the position of chief designer? He was too green. Ye Chen should go home and study for a few more decades before thinking about competing with him.
Antonio sneered.
Ye Chen is guaranteed to lose this bet!
After leaving the company, Ye Chen returned to his car and planned to contact someone.
Before Ye Chen could even open his phone's contacts, a message suddenly popped up from the game.

Ye Chen immediately perked up.
