Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 399 - 397: Did He Drain the Little Woman’s Energy?

Chapter 399: Chapter 397: Did He Drain the Little Woman’s Energy?

Thinking of it, Jiayi said, "Really, it’s okay, Director Fang. I’m going to edit it now, and I won’t leave work today until it’s fixed. Rest assured, I definitely won’t take it lightly again in the future."

She picked up the design draft, bowed apologetically, and hurriedly walked out of the office.

Fang Yao watched her determined departing figure, pondered for a while, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. After a long pause, her lips curled up, and the tone of her voice was satirical, "Manager Huo, huh?"

Huo Zhenyang was driving when he received Fang Yao’s call, heard her teasing, and played along, his voice was lazy, "What’s up, Director Fang?"

"Nothing much, just checking in to see if Manager Huo’s ’Resource Recycling Department’ is busy or not." Fang Yao joked.

"That’s enough, spit it out if you have something to say. I’m very busy." Huo Zhenyang always spoke without any restraint with her.

In his heart, Fang Yao was like a man, not much different from the guys.

It was then that Fang Yao stopped joking, her tone serious, "I’m telling you, Huo Shao, you really are a capitalist. Exactly how much work are you giving Jiayi? She’s so exhausted she’s not functioning right. She keeps making mistakes on her official work these past few days, and let me tell you, she’s now under me as well. If you completely drain her energy and affect my operations here, I won’t allow it."

Huo Zhenyang’s brows knitted together.

He drained that little lady’s energy?

That woman had been coming to Disheng four or five days a week, and aside from not being familiar during the first two visits, she gradually got the hang of it afterward.

According to Sister Hui, she went home on time every night, and aside from cleaning, there weren’t too many things to do at the villa, so how could she be too tired?

His slender fingers tapped the steering wheel lightly and absently as he stared at the road ahead, "Did she start being like this recently?"

"Yes, just these past few days," Fang Yao replied.

"I understand."

The other side tossed out a phrase nonchalantly and hung up.

The dial tone buzzed in the earpiece, Fang Yao stunned for a moment. "I understand"? What did that mean exactly?

That man was just like before. When speaking seriously to him, he acted all high and mighty, like an emperor, dismissing people with a single ’I understand’. Did he think he was issuing imperial decrees or something?

Shaking her head, Fang Yao put down the phone.

At the same time, Jiayi returned to her seat.

A few colleagues who had been watching outside the office gathered around, "Jiayi, did Director Fang scold you? Are you okay?"

"I’m fine, let’s continue working. The UA draft might need to be redone, so everyone might have to work overtime today." Jiayi handed the design draft to Tong Xiaomian, "Help me scan it into the computer, I’ll revise it again. And Fanny, can you help me rework yesterday’s old draft? Thanks."

Seeing her unstirred demeanor, they exchanged glances, with various expressions in their eyes.

Everyone had complex feelings towards Jiayi.

They were all new hires at Yundu, holding the same positions, but now only Jiayi had emerged, not only being confirmed early but also in charge of the UA case independently. Everything was going smoothly for her, and even when trouble arose, she would mysteriously turn danger into safety. How could this not make people envious?

When Jiayi was called in by Fang Yao because of a mistake in the design draft, to be honest, some people felt a bit of schadenfreude.

After all, why should she be so lucky? She deserved to face some hardships too, right?

The day before yesterday, a male subordinate in the design department was scolded by Fang Yao until he was drenched in dog’s blood because of some issues in revising the draft. A man of one meter eighty wished he could shrink to one meter sixty. Now that Jiayi was in charge of the UA design draft, a position of such importance, how could Fang Yao let her off?

Everyone saw how Fang Yao slammed the design draft in front of Jiayi with fury, and they all secretly took notice.

It’s nothing?

Stubborn as a dead duck, just toughing it out!

Guess she’ll probably sneak off to cry in the stairwell later.

Several people sneered disdainfully. Now she’s ordering them to work and to work overtime?

As the principal designer, she got scolded by her superior and might be removed from her position, and yet she still has the nerve to give instructions?

Few people moved, acting as if they hadn’t heard, turning around and whispering among themselves.

Jiayi saw the looks and heard the low murmurings of a few colleagues as well.

Having passed the probation period ahead of time and taking on cases independently had already made many of her peers envious. Jiayi knew that being reprimanded by Fang Yao today would definitely give them a dark thrill.

Tong Xiaomian cast a glance at those colleagues, moved closer to Jiayi, and said in her usual soft and sweet voice, "Jiayi, don’t listen to their nonsense. They’re just all talk but actually have good hearts. I’ll talk to them and get them to work overtime."

Jiayi glanced at the girl in front of her. With her cute and soft appearance, long curly hair, and big eyes, she was very likeable.

Tong Xiaomian was about the same age as Jiayi, also a fresh graduate this year, and even two months older than Jiayi. Perhaps because she hadn’t experienced much, her eyes were very clear and innocent, and in her speech and behavior, she seemed even more naive than the younger Jiayi.

Her mood wasn’t really affected by her colleagues; after all she had been through, what was a bit of talking behind her back? Child’s play.

Now, hearing Tong Xiaomian’s comfort, she smiled, "It’s fine, thank you."

Tong Xiaomian’s big eyes brimmed with a smile as she gently patted Jiayi’s shoulder, picked up the design draft to go scan it, but then the sound of high heels clicking arose, and Fang Yao came out of the director’s office.

Everyone immediately fell silent, adopting a respectful demeanor.

"Director Fang—"

"Director Fang—"

Fang Yao lifted her chin and swept a cold gaze around, "Jiayi is already correcting the draft. Aren’t you supposed to be working with her on the UA design case? Why are you huddling together and holding a meeting? What are you discussing? Why don’t you speak loudly so that the whole department can hear you?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Today, Fang Yao wore a woman’s suit, looking sharp and impressive like a handsome and commanding lady, which made her look tall and slim, and also quite intimidating.

A few of the assistants who had been holding a small meeting gasped for breath and hurried to explain, "We’re going back to work now, Director Fang—"

But Fang Yao clearly didn’t want to let them off that easily, she snorted, "You are part of the same case team as Jiayi now. You should be following her orders, not mine. If you have no team spirit, why bother working at all? What use is it speaking to me?"

Several people deeply understood the implication from Director Fang. Under Fang Yao’s piercing gaze, they had to turn to Jiayi beside the computer, "We’ll get to work."

Fanny, who had been still just before, also said, "Jiayi, I’ll start coloring the old draft now."

The group felt somewhat abashed. They thought Jiayi was going to be in big trouble today, expected to be severely reprimanded by Fang Yao, only to find it was they themselves who got dressed down.

Jiayi had clearly made a mistake in her work, yet who would have thought that Fang Yao wouldn’t blame her but instead stood by her and supported her?

Jiayi glanced at Fang Yao, feeling grateful.

She knew that Fang Yao was establishing her authority for her, to make sure the subordinates wouldn’t take her lightly.
