The director is a shrewd old fox. If he arranges the wrong person and offends Yi An, he'll be held accountable with interest in the end.
He wouldn't do something so thankless.
He replied tactfully, "Chairman Yi, please choose whomever you like. It will be an honor for every employee here to select one."
Yi An nodded knowingly, then shifted her gaze to the employees in front of her.
The employees had different thoughts; some were afraid, fearing they would be chosen, while others were eager, fearing they wouldn't be.
Of course, there are also those who are not involved, such as Su Yan.
Yi An's gaze fell on Su Yan's face, intentionally or unintentionally. His lips moved as he was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone speak.
"Chairman Yi, I have some thoughts on this matter, but I don't know if I can share them?"
Everyone's eyes followed that direction.
When the director saw that the person speaking was He Man, he visibly tensed up.
"Heman, be careful..."
He had only spoken halfway through his rebuke when Yi An interrupted him, saying, "Speak your mind."
He Man stood up with a smile. "Chairman Yi, I think this person shouldn't be chosen casually. After all, it's to help you get familiar with the design department. This task is very important, as it concerns the entire design department. We must choose a suitable person."
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Yi An bluntly pointed out, "You have someone in mind?"
He Man's eyes lit up. "Of course! I think Su Yan is the most suitable!"
All eyes turned to Su Yan.
Su Yan remained completely calm, looking at He Man without showing any emotion.
This choice was exactly what Yi An wanted. He tried hard to suppress the smugness in his eyes and asked with a serious expression, "Why her?"
He Man saw his expression change drastically and couldn't suppress her secret joy.
Just as she had expected, Chairman Yi disliked Su Yan.
"Chairman Yi, I think Su Yan, who used to be your secretary, knows your way of doing things best. Letting Su Yan do this will definitely make things much easier!"
Upon hearing this, Yi An's lips trembled so badly that he could barely stand it. To avoid breaking his composure, he could only lower his head and feign seriousness.
In He Man's eyes, this expression was a clear indication that Yi An deeply disliked Su Yan!
She was even more eager to return Su Yan to Yi An.
"Chairman Yi, I believe that besides Su Yan, no one else in the office is capable of doing this job!"
Hearing her guarantee, Su Yan smiled and casually glanced at the faces of everyone in the office.
Everyone looked rather unhappy, especially the director.
Su Yan didn't know what He Man was up to, but she was sure it was something to make her suffer.
But He Man was unaware that her action had offended most of the people in the office.
So many people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to climb the social ladder to Yi'an's level, but she ruined it all with just one sentence.
To avoid making her choice seem rash, Yi'an pretended to think deeply for a long time before finally agreeing.
"Alright, I'll leave this job to Su Yan."
These words sounded as if they carried a hint of reluctance.
"Alright, let's adjourn the meeting."
Yi An stood up, glanced at Su Yan, and openly ordered, "Su Yan, come to my office."
He Man almost burst out laughing when she saw Su Yan's slender back.
She whispered gloatingly to Xiao Liu, "She's going to get what's coming to her now!"
She was chatting and laughing with Xiao Liu when a male employee sitting opposite her started slamming the documents in his hand down loudly.
"Xiao Zhao, what are you doing! Put the files away properly, is that not okay?"
He Man then adopted the air of a senior figure to lecture her.
Xiao Zhao looked at He Man with a forced smile and said sarcastically, "Sister He, you've really changed a lot these days. Now you even dare to order Chairman Yi around. Should we start calling you President He from now on?"
He Man was taken aback, then her expression changed.
What do you mean by that?
Those around them, seeing things were going badly, quickly pulled Xiao Zhao away.
"Stop causing trouble!"
Xiao Zhao easily broke free and looked coldly at He Man, "Sister He, don't blame me for not reminding you. What's your business, you can manage. But what's not your business, you'd better keep your mouth shut!"
He threw down those words and stormed out of the office.
He Man was stunned for half a second, then flew into a rage.
"This kid only got a few compliments from the director these past few days, and now he thinks he's all that? He dares to challenge me? He's too arrogant!"
Xiao Liu was also furious. "Sister, do you have to get angry with someone like that! Look at his poor, pathetic appearance, he'll never amount to anything in his life!"
Some employees, unable to bear it any longer, finally spoke up.
“Sister He, Xiao Zhao is the most capable person in our department. Even the director praises him, and he's very ambitious. He wanted to show off in front of Chairman Yi, but you blocked his path with just one sentence. It's normal for a young man to be a little resentful. Don't take it to heart.”
He Man laughed when she heard this.
"Oh dear! That's all the skill he has! With his pathetic appearance, I told you he'd never amount to anything!"
The employee tried to persuade him for a long time, but upon hearing this sentence, he swallowed the rest of his words, turned around, and left silently.
Only He Man and Xiao Liu remained, still spouting sarcastic remarks.
"Xiao Zhao is overestimating himself, and Su Yan is even more of a fool! She really thinks I'm doing this for her sake. I'd like to see how she escapes from Chairman Yi's clutches!"
Standing at the corner, Su Yan could picture He Man's smug and self-satisfied expression just from hearing those arrogant and smug words.
She lowered her head and chuckled softly, "So that's what she was planning!"
"Who's behind this?"
Suddenly, someone chimed in from the side. Su Yan turned her head and saw that it was Yi An.
She stopped smiling and said as she walked out, "I was talking about Chairman Yi's wicked plans."
Yi An couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle softly, "Let's go, I have to make sure everyone knows about my bad idea."
He strolled around the company with his hands behind his back, looking like an old man, while Su Yan, the merchandise he was displaying, stood behind him.
Everyone who passes by must respectfully address him as "Chairman Yi".
He then stole a couple more glances at Su Yan, as if she had some strange thing growing on her face today, his gaze incredibly peculiar.
Yi An appeared to be strolling around, but her actual destination was very clear: He Zimo's office.
He Ziming was explaining things to his secretary when he suddenly heard a greeting. He looked up and saw Yi An striding towards him.
When he looked again at Su Yan behind Yi An, his expression froze.
Yi An strolled over to He Zimo and introduced Su Yan's new identity as if displaying a treasure.
"Su Yan, my new secretary."
He Ziming's expression changed once again when the speaker deliberately emphasized the words "new secretary".
