Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 385 - 383: He’s Actually Protecting Her Like This?
"Enough, shut up," Fang Yao’s willow brows lightly raised, her beautiful eyes almost spewing fire, "What do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of carelessness, that I gave UA a faulty sample garment and nearly messed up the collaboration, and that it was only thanks to your saving the day that the situation was salvaged?"
"That’s not what I meant, Director Fang. If you insist on thinking that way, I can’t help it," Jiayi said, then mustered up more courage.
Since Fang Yao was determined to have her leave today, what did she have to be afraid of? She might as well go all out and retorted without mercy:
"In fact, this matter has already been smoothly resolved. UA is very satisfied with our sample. I don’t understand why Director Fang is so angry. Could it be because you are jealous that a newcomer like me caught UA’s eye with my design, afraid that I will outshine you, and that’s why you want to fire me quickly, to suppress me? If that’s the case, I’d like to tell Director Fang that there will always be new talents emerging. Even without me, there are many more excellent designers. If you suppress me today, do you plan to suppress everyone who comes along? I know that you are Yundu’s favorite, a top general, a pillar, and that even several clients have chosen to work with Yundu because of your reputation, but after all, Yundu is not yours alone!"
Fang Yao’s face turned iron blue, her pupils shrank bit by bit. A newcomer dared to question her with such a tone!
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes narrowed slightly, casting an ambiguous shadow, his interest piqued. He reclined silently against the leather couch, adopting a nonchalant attitude as he watched the battle unfold.
Who would have thought, this little woman, when cornered, would dare to talk back to her boss.
Meanwhile, Manager Yang, seeing the change in Fang Yao’s expression, also broke out in a cold sweat.
Fang Yao was always held in high esteem for her bright experiences and outstanding abilities, a queenly figure who was lifted high by everyone. She was personally recruited to join Yundu after being courted three times by Yundu’s CEO, receiving no small amount of respect from several executives.
Now—Chu Jiayi actually dared to counterattack Fang Yao!
If Fang Yao could swallow this insult, Manager Yang would rather perform eating a shoe in public!
As expected, Fang Yao stood up with a whoosh, pointing at Jiayi:
"Manager Yang, are you just going to watch while a little employee who hasn’t even passed her probation period talk to me with such an attitude? I’ve already said that I think Chu Jiayi’s capability to handle matters is problematic, and she is not suitable to stay at Yundu. I firmly disagree with her passing the probation period. Please fire her today!"
The atmosphere in the office turned tense, cold enough to freeze.
Manager Yang’s forehead started to sweat profusely, taking out a handkerchief and wiping the greasy face, only to see the man who had been silent for a long time on the couch finally opening his mouth:
"Why make such a fuss, Director Fang."
The magnetic voice of the man was like an arrow piercing through the sky, deep yet sharp, with a hint of indescribable languor and pleasantness. After listening to it for a while, it had an intoxicating effect.
My god, you’ve finally spoken. Jiayi felt an inexplicable relief in her heart, and for some reason, felt that the pressure was suddenly much lighter.
She had to admit, subconsciously, she trusted him and felt that with him around, she wouldn’t have any problems.
Fang Yao’s burgeoning anger subsided, softening a few degrees as she looked towards Huo Zhenyang, her face flashing with an inexplicable expression, her voice also much softer, "Huo... Manager, what do you mean by that?"
The change in Fang Yao’s attitude was something Jiayi found very surprising.
In terms of rank, Manager Yang and this man should be the same, both being heads of their respective departments.
Manager Yang is the General Manager of Human Resources and Administration, while that man is from the Resource Recycling Department.
But clearly, Fang Yao’s tone towards Huo Zhenyang was more respectful than towards Manager Yang.
Fang Yao called herself "Manager Huo" with a hint of sarcasm, and Huo Zhenyang’s expression remained unchanged, his thin lips curving into a perfect arc:
"About the thing with the sample garments, I think Chu Jiayi’s approach was correct. She demonstrated a big-picture perspective and reacted quickly. If the sample garments had been given to UA at that time, just as she said, not only would Yundu’s deal with UA have fallen through, but it also would have affected your reputation in the industry. After all, no matter what, the sample garments that were sent were defective, and that is indisputable. UA would only think you were careless. So, I believe that, in this case, Chu Jiayi has helped you out. Let’s just leave it at that. Besides, didn’t UA say they wanted the style designed personally by Chu Jiayi? If that’s the case, let her handle this Case from now on. It could be seen as making amends, helping you share the burden."
Fang Yao’s pupils tightened—how could this be considered making amends?
That was clearly giving the credit to Chu Jiayi!
She was a newcomer, on what basis could she take on such a big Case, on what basis did she have the authority to design independently?
How could he be so protective of her?
She decisively refused: "Manager Huo, Chu Jiayi is just a newcomer, and she hasn’t even passed her probationary period—"
"Then let her pass it," the man replied with a light and natural tone, as if speaking of a very normal matter.
Fang Yao’s face went pale, so not only was Jiayi not going to be fired, but she was also to bypass her probationary period?
Manager Yang decisively interjected: "Alright, I think Manager Huo’s suggestion is good. Director Fang, let’s just go with that. It’s all over now."
Jiayi cast a furtive glance at Fang Yao, whose face alternated between red and white, but in the end, she huffed: "Fine, for the sake of Manager Yang and Manager Huo, I’ll let it go this time."
When she said the words "Manager Huo," Fang Yao’s gaze drifted to Huo Zhenyang, flickering slightly with an indescribable irony.
Manager Yang managed not to offend either side and brought things to a satisfactory conclusion: "Alright, Jiayi, you can go back to work now."
Jiayi was eager to leave the battleground and left the office.
Seeing that Fang Yao remained seated without any intention to leave, Manager Yang understood that she probably had something to discuss with Zhenyang alone and courteously stood up: "I have some matters to attend to, I’ll leave first."
With that, he vacated the office for the two of them and left.
As the door closed with a bang, the office fell silent.
Fang Yao stood up without hesitation, looked at the man sitting on the sofa, and let out a light laugh:
"Manager Huo? Hah, I didn’t know when Huo Shao became interested in acting as a department manager at Yundu."
She had known that Yundu was acquired by a major shareholder but had not known who it was. However, as soon as she entered the office and saw Huo Zhenyang, Fang Yao was startled but quickly had an inkling of the truth. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The head of the recycling department? She scornfully thought he had quite the imagination!
Huo Zhenyang’s gaze was deep, tinged with a faint smile: "Ayao, after all these years, your temper is still as explosive as ever. No wonder you’re still unmarried to this day, not even a boyfriend in sight."
Fang Yao took a deep breath!
Indeed, this scoundrel was indeed the mysterious major shareholder who had acquired Yundu!
