As soon as Ye Chen heard footsteps behind him, he glanced at the glass wall beside him and immediately realized—it was Dong Ruolin following him!


Damn!


If Dong Ruolin recognized him here, she might start to suspect that he was the Chairman of Emgrand Group.


Worse yet, she might even connect the dots and realize that he was actually the young master of the Ye family!


That would be a disaster!


Seeing that Dong Ruolin was about to catch up, Ye Chen quickened his pace, slipped into the Chairman’s office, and locked the door behind him.


Dong Ruolin hadn’t expected him to suddenly speed up.


By the time she realized what was happening, he had already entered the office.


Standing in front of the door, Dong Ruolin felt a wave of disappointment wash over her.


She muttered under her breath,

“Strange… It’s like the Chairman is deliberately avoiding me…”


Still unwilling to give up, she knocked on the door and said,

“Hello, Chairman. I’m the new Administrative Director, Dong Ruolin.


I have something I’d like to report to you.”


Ye Chen, keeping his voice deliberately low, replied,

“Did you report to Wang Dongxue first?


The company doesn’t allow bypassing the chain of command. Don’t you know that?”


“I’m sorry, Chairman. I forgot…”


Dong Ruolin felt a wave of nervousness.


“Is the Chairman angry because I bypassed protocol?


Or does he just not want to see me at all?”


Feeling uneasy, she didn’t dare linger outside the office door any longer and left reluctantly.


Once Ye Chen heard her footsteps fade into the distance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.


That was close!


She had almost recognized him—it was really dangerous!


Thinking about how he would have to visit Emgrand Group frequently in the future, Ye Chen realized that having Dong Ruolin as the Administrative Director on the same floor was a huge risk.


Just then, Wang Dongxue arrived to report on the company’s progress.


Ye Chen said to her,

“Dongxue, I need you to handle something for me.”


Wang Dongxue nodded.

“Yes, Young Master. Please tell me.”


Ye Chen instructed,

“I need you to reassign Dong Ruolin to a different position.”


Then he asked,

“Which positions don’t require being in the office all the time?”


“Sales and Business Development,” Wang Dongxue replied.

“Those roles often require traveling for work and are rarely in the office.”


“Perfect,” Ye Chen nodded.

“Then transfer her to the role of Sales Director.”


“No problem. I’ll handle it right away.” Wang Dongxue agreed without hesitation.


Afterward, Wang Dongxue reported on the company’s latest developments.


Emgrand Group’s new six-star hotel project had officially started.


The hotel was being built at the foot of Mount Qingcheng, a site known for its breathtaking scenery and serene environment.


Once completed, it would be the first six-star hotel in Jinling, offering unparalleled luxury.


The project was progressing smoothly and was expected to be completed within two years.


Within two and a half years, it would be ready for operation, significantly boosting Emgrand Group’s revenue.


Ye Chen instructed her,

“If my wife does well with her projects and has the capacity to take on more, I want you to delegate additional business from Emgrand Group to her.”


Wang Dongxue immediately replied,

“Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll make sure of it!”


Seeing that his wife’s meeting was about to end, Ye Chen said to Wang Dongxue,

“Go call Dong Ruolin to your office.


I’ll use that as a chance to sneak out.”


Wang Dongxue quickly nodded and returned to her office to call Dong Ruolin.


Hearing that Wang Dongxue wanted to see her, Dong Ruolin hurried over.


As soon as Dong Ruolin arrived, Ye Chen rushed downstairs.


Meeting Xiao Churan


As Ye Chen reached the lobby, he saw Xiao Churan walking out, looking exhausted.


She sighed and said,

“There’s so much going on right now.


I can barely keep up with all the work.”


Ye Chen asked, concerned,

“Do you want to delegate some of the work?


Or maybe just quit altogether?”


“No way,” Xiao Churan shook her head.

“I’ve only been a Director for a short time.


My foundation isn’t stable yet.


I need to work extra hard; otherwise, my cousin will definitely try to take advantage of the situation.”


Just the thought of Xiao Hailong made Xiao Churan angry.


He was always causing trouble and loved doing things that were spiteful and pointless.


On the way home, Xiao Churan closed her eyes to rest in the car, while Ye Chen focused on driving, leaving her undisturbed.


In Wang Dongxue’s Office


Meanwhile, Wang Dongxue informed Dong Ruolin about her new position.


Dong Ruolin was surprised.


She had barely started as Administrative Director, and now she was being transferred to Sales?


Wang Dongxue explained,

“I think you’re highly capable.


Keeping you in an administrative role is a waste of your talents.


Plus, according to your resume, you majored in Business Management and Marketing in university.


Sales is the perfect role for you, and it’s also more important to the company.


If you do well, you’ll have even more opportunities in the future!”


Wang Dongxue wasn’t lying.


The Sales Department was far more critical than Administration.


Sales was the department that brought in revenue, while Administration was more like a housekeeper, dealing with minor tasks.


Dong Ruolin didn’t overthink it.


In fact, she felt that if she could excel in sales and bring real profits to the company, the Chairman would pay more attention to her.


This was actually a good opportunity!


Feeling excited, Dong Ruolin left Wang Dongxue’s office and immediately called her best friend, Xiao Churan.


As soon as the call connected, she exclaimed,

“Churan, I’ve been promoted to Sales Director!”


“Really?” Xiao Churan was thrilled.

“That’s amazing!


You’re a natural talent in sales.


Being in Administration was such a waste of your skills!


Now you’ll have more room to shine, and I’m sure you’ll achieve great things soon!”


“Hehe!” Dong Ruolin was overjoyed and blurted out,

“Let’s go celebrate tonight!


Bring Ye Chen too!”


Xiao Churan hesitated,

“We’re almost home now.


Honestly, I’m exhausted today.


Can we celebrate another day?”


Knowing how hard Xiao Churan had been working, Dong Ruolin quickly replied,

“Of course!


You’ve been working non-stop with all those meetings.


Go home and get some rest.


We’ll celebrate when you’re less busy!”


“Sounds good,” Xiao Churan said.

“Once I get through this busy period, let’s have a proper celebration!”


Dong Ruolin laughed,

“It’s a promise!”


After hanging up, Dong Ruolin felt a bit lonely.


She didn’t have many true friends in Jinling—Xiao Churan was her only close friend.


Now that she had been promoted to Sales Director, it was a great chance to prove herself.


But she had no one to celebrate with.


Just as she was sighing over this, her phone suddenly rang.


To her surprise, it was a call from Xiao Hailong!
