Chapter 112: Handover Work
CEO's Office.
Lin Xi was handing over her duties to Qin Keren, as during her absence, the company would be fully in the charge of Qin Keren.
Qin Keren was somewhat excited, finally having the chance to show what she could do.
Of course, she was also a bit anxious. Although she believed in her abilities, she had never managed a company from such a high position before.
However, Lin Xi had already handled most of the matters that required her personal attention or were particularly important, so there shouldn't be any major issues.
"President, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down," Qin Keren assured earnestly.
"Mm, I believe in you," Lin Xi still had high regard for Qin Keren's capabilities.
"By the way, President Lin, about Su Chen..." Qin Keren hesitated to ask, but she asked anyway.
Lin Xi smiled lightly, "Don't worry, he won't leave the company."
"President Lin, you really have a great charm, managing to make that jerk change his mind," Qin Keren couldn't help but praise.
"What charm do I have? I just approved his leave," Lin Xi shook her head.
Yet, she felt slightly moved inside.
After all, Su Chen had made such a big sacrifice for her.
But more so, she felt that Su Chen wasn't as useless as she had thought.
Wait a moment, a thought suddenly struck Lin Xi.
Why did Qin Keren call Su Chen a jerk?
That term could either be used for someone one dislikes, or as a nickname.
Could it be, Qin Keren and Su Chen are close?
"Director Qin, what's your opinion of Su Chen?" Lin Xi asked indifferently.
Opinion? What opinion?
The original opinion was simply irresponsibility.
That jerk, faced with such a beautiful woman like her, also a major director and vice president of Yimena, it was his fortune to be liked by her. Yet at the mention of taking responsibility, he was so scared that he ran away, not even caring about his pants.
However, after the incidents of resolutely supporting Wang Yue and securing the big Hongda project, Qin Keren felt that, sometimes, this guy did have some qualities of a man.
If his future performance could satisfy her, maybe she would promote him from being a provisional boyfriend to an official one.
Although this guy was somewhat unworthy of her, who let herself get drunk that night and give herself to him.
And unexpectedly, that guy who didn't look very strong had amazing capabilities in that respect.
These thoughts, naturally, Qin Keren wouldn't share with Lin Xi but analyzed rationally, "Su Chen, how should I put it, has his good and bad points. The good part is that he is responsible and values loyalty... The bad part, however, is that he doesn't follow management well, lacks ambition, and also, his personality is a bit weird."
Actually, Qin Keren wanted to say that Su Chen was sleazy.
But she was too embarrassed to use that kind of language in front of the president, so she opted for 'weird' instead.
After Qin Keren finished answering, Lin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Qin Keren's answer was watertight, but how could it fool Lin Xi's discerning eyes?
First, when mentioning Su Chen's good points, Qin Keren's face showed a subtle smile.
That kind of expression generally appears only for someone significant to oneself.
Next, when talking about Su Chen's bad points, Qin Keren showed a frustrated and disappointed expression.
That was nothing unusual; as Su Chen's superior, it was normal to have such emotions.
But when discussing Su Chen's weird personality, Qin Keren had a look of vexation.
Such an expression definitely couldn't come from a superior to a subordinate.
Nor would it appear between just friends.
There's definitely something!
Absolutely problematic.
In less than half a minute, Lin Xi had already discerned many things from Qin Keren.
However, she did not know to what extent Su Chen and Qin Keren had progressed.
Where did Qin Keren know, just because she inadvertently said the word "bastard", she almost exposed her relationship with Su Chen.
Nevertheless, Qin Keren didn't really care much.
Even if she and Su Chen were boyfriend and girlfriend, the CEO had no reason to blame her, right?
Are people not allowed to date?
It's just that she didn't know about the relationship between Su Chen and Lin Xi.
If she knew the relationship between Lin Xi and Su Chen, she might not think this way.
"Right, CEO, do we need to give him special consideration when he returns to work?" Qin Keren was already at the door, but then suddenly turned around and asked Lin Xi.
In fact, her question was not inappropriate.
After all, Su Chen was talented, and the CEO valued him highly; giving him special consideration was reasonable.
Like promoting him or increasing his salary.
However, because Lin Xi had begun to suspect her relationship with Su Chen.
Her words only served to reinforce what Lin Xi was thinking.
"How about a Design Director?" Lin Xi asked expressionlessly, as the Queen of the corporate world, she already had the composure of Mount Taishan collapsing before her without changing color.
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Qin Keren trembled slightly, Design Director?
Although she vaguely guessed that if Su Chen truly gained Lin Xi's appreciation, he might eventually sit in the position of Design Director.
But, wasn't this too fast?
If Su Chen really became the Design Director, wouldn't he be more influential than her at Yimena?
This was definitely something Qin Keren didn't want to see.
"Am I overthinking?" Qin Keren's reaction, however, made Lin Xi's judgment deviate slightly.
Because if there was an issue between Qin Keren and Su Chen, then upon her suggesting the position of Design Director for Su Chen, Qin Keren would definitely show a delighted expression. If you're not on M*VLEM*PYR, you're viewing a copy.
No, absolutely cannot let that scoundrel climb too fast.
If that guy really took the position of Design Director, wouldn't he become insufferably arrogant?
Thinking of this, Qin Keren frowned and said, "CEO, although I also admire Su Chen's talent, he is still too young, and he hasn't been with the company very long. If you appoint him as Design Director now, it will be hard to convince others."
"I was just speaking casually, Director Qin needn't take it to heart," Lin Xi said with a light smile.
Only then did Qin Keren breathe a sigh of relief, nodded at Lin Xi, and then walked out of the CEO's office.
She had no idea that she had just narrowly escaped from Hell Gate.
If Lin Xi knew there was really an issue between her and Su Chen, without a doubt, Lin Xi would have her leave the company.
Daring to snatch Lin Xi's man, no matter how excellent, she would not be lenient.
Su Chen naturally would not know that he had almost been doomed, and cheerfully returned to the sales department.
For Lin Xi being the CEO of Yimena, he still felt very pleased.
Because this meant, he didn't have to leave Yimena.
Moreover, this way, he now had two powerful supporters in the company.
Who would dare to provoke him in the future?
The only small regret was, according to sister Xuewei, if he left Yimena.
Maybe, he should ask sister Xuewei again, if he doesn't leave, could she be his girlfriend?
A daily kind.
