Chapter 315 - Refusing to Obey

Hu Jing immediately opposed the idea of transferring Ye Fan, even with vehement opposition.

“Are you very unwilling to see Ye Fan transferred?” Li Zhaojun looked at Hu Jing with a profound gaze and spoke in a calm voice.

Hu Jing composed herself, realizing she was just a department manager in one of the subsidiary companies of the conglomerate, and had no right to oppose the decision of Li Zhaojun, the chairperson of the conglomerate.

Moreover, she noticed that Li Zhaojun’s gaze seemed to see through something, causing her to feel somewhat panicked.

“I’m sorry, I lost my composure,” Hu Jing squeezed a smile and said, “It’s mainly because the department has just been established and has come together well, so, hehe, I got a bit excited.”

She went on to say, “Naturally, I cannot question your decision.

However, the biomedical company just got through a difficult time last week and is bursting with vitality now.

The personnel department I manage needs to fully commit to recruiting a large number of outstanding candidates to fill various positions within the company.

If Ye Fan is suddenly transferred at this moment, I’m concerned it will affect the upcoming intense and busy recruitment work.”

“So, I suggest that the transfer of Ye Fan could be postponed a while?”

By the end, she looked at Li Zhaojun, who was seated on the sofa, with a bit of pleading in her eyes.

Li Zhaojun’s pretty face remained cold and detached, showing not the slightest swayed by Hu Jing’s request.

In fact, the more Hu Jing pleaded, the more determined she became to transfer Ye Fan.

She had keenly sensed that Hu Jing’s attitude toward Ye Fan was far from ordinary.

Li Zhaojun spoke in a distant voice, “Manager Hu, you should go back and think about who to recommend as your deputy.”

After saying this, she stood up, walked to her desk, and picked up a transfer notice that had already been prepared.

She turned and walked back to the coffee table, handing over the transfer notice.

“Please give this transfer notice to Ye Fan and tell him to report to his new position today,” Li Zhaojun said.

Hu Jing had already stood up, a trace of resignation in her eyes, but knowing she was powerless to oppose Li Zhaojun, she obediently reached out and took the transfer notice.

“Yes,” she responded, glancing at the content of the transfer notice.

The next moment, she looked up at Li Zhaojun in surprise, because Ye Fan had been unexpectedly appointed as the special assistant to the chairperson.

“What exactly is Ye Fan’s relationship to Chairperson Li?

She is promoting Ye Fan to the position of chairperson’s assistant so quickly, it’s practically a leap to the heavens,” she thought to herself.

The position of chairperson’s assistant is a very special one.

In companies or conglomerates where the chairperson has significant authority, the assistant is often personally chosen based on the preferences of the chairperson.

However, its administrative level is quite high, equivalent to that of a vice-general manager.

Li Zhaojun ignored Hu Jing’s astonished gaze, turned, and walked back to her desk, then sat down on her luxurious office chair from her high position.

Hu Jing walked out of Li Zhaojun’s office with the transfer notice for Ye Fan.

Before entering her own office, Hu Jing thought to herself, “Well, what does it matter if we’re not in the same office anymore?

I don’t believe I can’t attract Ye Fan with my charm!”

Pushing the door open and entering her office, a flirtatious smile already appeared on Hu Jing’s alluring face.

“Ye Fan, I have some good news for you.

Do you want to hear it?” She walked over to Ye Fan’s desk, hiding the transfer notice behind her back, and teased Ye Fan with a playful laugh.

Ye Fan looked up and laughed, “Good news?

Of course, I want to hear it.

Go ahead.”

However, after waiting a long while, Hu Jing merely maintained her smile but did not speak.

Ye Fan became somewhat puzzled and urged, “Go on, why aren’t you speaking?”

”Hehe, I’ve brought you good news; what’s in it for me?” Hu Jing joked.

Ye Fan laughed, “Oh, it seems it’s a very good piece of news.

Tell me, what do you want in return?

I’ll do what I can to satisfy you!”

”Giggle, you promised, remember?” Hu Jing said with a triumphant, seductive smile.

“I want you to take me out for a meal!”

”Sure, no problem!” Ye Fan laughed.

“Can you share the news now?”

Hu Jing giggled, placed the transfer notice on the table in front of Ye Fan, and said with a smile, “Take a look for yourself.

Giggle, congratulations, you’ve just sky-rocketed to success!”

Ye Fan picked up the transfer notice and examined it closely, a look of strange contemplation appearing on his face.

“What on earth is Li Zhaojun playing at?

She actually wants me to be her special assistant.

Since it’s ‘special assistant,’ doesn’t that mean being around her every day?”

Seeing that Ye Fan didn’t exhibit the expected look of surprise but instead had a puzzled and thoughtful expression, Hu Jing couldn’t help but call out, “Hey, why don’t you look happy at all?”

Ye Fan snapped back to reality and immediately pretended to laugh heartily, saying, “Haha, I’m just too surprised, I can’t believe my own eyes.”

”Hmph!” Hu Jing huffed unhappily and turned her pretty face away.

Ye Fan stood up and said, “But honestly, I’m not that happy about it either.

You know I’m sitting here because of connections, and I’m usually too lazy to bother with things, often taking off for days.

Thanks to your indulgence these past days, I’ve been able to enjoy myself so freely…”

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Hu Jing’s pretty face brightened with a smile.

She turned back to look at Ye Fan and said, “Anyway, you’re just killing time at the Emali Corporation, regardless of your position.

Here with me, you’re free to do whatever you like, isn’t that great?

Why don’t you tell Director Li you don’t want to transfer?”

”I did consider that, but it’s definitely not going to work,” Ye Fan shook his head.

This was the honest truth.

He genuinely didn’t want to be Li Zhaojun’s special assistant because that meant facing her every day and enduring her disdainful and contemptuous glances.

If there was anything he wanted to do, he’d have to watch her face.

Besides, who knows how much work the chairman’s special assistant has to do, but it’s certainly more than now, completely at odds with his lazy goal of killing time.

Hu Jing encouraged him, “How do you know if you don’t try?

If you stay, you’ll be free and get to chat with a great beauty like me every day, isn’t that awesome?

If you become Director Li’s assistant, you won’t be able to slack off at all!”

After thinking it over, with his future workplace laziness in mind, Ye Fan decided to talk to Li Zhaojun.

“You make a good point.

I’ll go and see her,” he nodded.

Hu Jing encouraged him with excitement, “I support you, go for it!”

Setting down the appointment notice, Ye Fan left the office to find Li Zhaojun.

On the way, Ye Fan couldn’t help but muse, “There’s less than a month and a half left before the divorce, and Li Zhaojun suddenly transfers my position, clearly aiming to increase the chances of us meeting.

Could it be that she regrets filing for divorce, after knowing that I secretly helped her retrieve the patent for ‘Jifei Qinghua Tablets’?”

”However, am I, Ye Fan, someone to be summoned and dismissed at will?!”
