Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 543 - 541 The Barbarian Who Has Not Fully Evolved
Huo Tianpei had just seen his grandson and was reluctant to leave so soon, but knowing the condition of his own health, he ultimately agreed to go.
Because he was about to leave, Huo Tianpei tonight was practically clinging to Zaizai, endlessly fixing plates for Zaizai, pouring drinks, and teasing him without end.
Zaizai, having recognized his daddy today, didn’t mind acknowledging another grandfather – it was like a buy-one-get-two deal, and he used all his tricks to make Huo Tianpei laugh until he couldn’t close his mouth with joy.
As the meal was coming to an end, Huo Zhenyang spoke up, "This time when I return, let Su Yan go back with dad."
At these words, Jiayi couldn’t help but look up at the man beside her.
Huo Tianpei wasn’t surprised; after Su Yan had angered his son, even if she could stay at Huo Family, she wouldn’t be able to stay by his side and be as trusted as before. He didn’t say much more, "Fine, I’ll take Su Yan with me this time. After I return to America, I’ll see where might be more suitable for her and transfer her there."
The Huo Family had a vast global empire, and it would work to transfer her to any subsidiary or branch in any country.
Huo Zhenyang didn’t say anything, but his expression already approved of the old man’s decision.
——
Two days later, Liang Anya made a phone call.
The production team had agreed, and they were very interested in Jiayi’s work experience in Yundu, inviting Jiayi to come for an interview as soon as possible.
Jiayi received the call at noon, asked Fang Yao for a half-day leave, and went to the production team in the afternoon.
Not long after Jiayi had left, the phone in Fang Yao’s office rang. She picked up, and the man on the other end couldn’t contain his indignation, practically bursting through the receiver, "Come up here."
Of course, Fang Yao knew who it was. She smirked, put down the phone, and took the elevator upstairs.
The arrival of the major shareholder prompted Executive General Manager Yao to hastily vacate the CEO’s office and take his leave.
At that moment, in the spacious and imposing office, behind the boss’s desk, Huo Zhenyang’s shadow, wrapped in a tailored suit, emanated an exceptionally frigid temperature, causing the temperature of the entire office to plummet.
Fang Yao knocked on the door and walked in, "Is there something the major shareholder is looking for me for?"
"Looking for you for what?" The man’s tone already carried a chilly edge, as he casually picked up a piece of paper and slammed it down hard on the coffee table!
Fang Yao picked up that piece of paper, the resignation letter that Jiayi had already handed over to her.
On the A4 paper, the font size five text stood out sharply:
"Due to personal reasons, I hereby apply to resign from my position as a senior assistant designer with Yundu. I hope the company will approve."
Underneath was the signature of her immediate superior, Fang Yao, who had already approved it.
Clearly, this resignation letter had already taken effect.
Had it not been for General Manager Yao, who had seen Jiayi’s resignation and feared offending the major shareholder again, hurriedly giving him a heads up, Huo Zhenyang would still be in the dark.
Fang Yao gave a dry laugh, "Oh, so it’s this... "
Seeing her indifferent, detached demeanor, the chilling sharpness in Huo Zhenyang’s brows deepened, "You secretly helped her resign behind my back? Huh, you really have some nerve, Fang Yao! I order you to take it back now! If she brings it up again, just tell me directly!"
Fang Yao had anticipated he would block it and raised her eyes, "Huo Shao, are you ordering me now?"
"Yeah." The man answered carelessly, propping up his long legs, his tone still sharp.
Fang Yao spoke coldly, "First, I’m your subordinate, not your slave. If you insist on speaking to me with the attitude of a tyrant, I can resign anytime. Oh right, Yunling and even the coastal areas are your territory, and you can make me destitute in minutes, right? My apologies, the worst case scenario, I’ll just go abroad—there are plenty of design buildings there! Second, Jiayi is my subordinate and my friend. She doesn’t want to work in Yundu anymore and has better career prospects elsewhere. Why would I stop her?"
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes curved slightly, a laugh hard to suppress, but his amusement quickly turned to a glare. "She’s your subordinate and friend? Don’t make it sound so nice. Are you still harboring fantasies about her? Would you help her this much if it were just a matter of senior and junior staff?"
He felt like he’d gone to the dogs!
He was actually questioning his ex-girlfriend about whether she still had fantasies about that woman!
Fighting over a woman with an ex-girlfriend?
A sneer spread across his lips, mingled with amusement and annoyance at himself.
Ade, standing behind the Boss, couldn’t help but crack a smile; the boss and Director Fang actually had a similar taste in this regard—both interested in Miss Chu.
Fang Yao, seeing how bluntly he spoke and not really denying it, responded, "Yes, I do have some feelings for Xiaoyi, but unlike some people who haven’t fully evolved from barbarians, if Xiaoyi isn’t interested in me, I won’t force her. I’ll just help her as much as I can. That’s called liking someone. What you do—that’s called confinement! No one is born to enjoy being commanded, being told what they should or shouldn’t do. Why do you think Jiayi wants to quit her good job at Yundu so suddenly? It’s because she wants to prove that she’s capable of taking care of Zaizai and doesn’t want to be controlled by the Huo Family. You’re only making her more rebellious and eager to escape!"
Unevolved barbarian?
Ade broke out in a cold sweat, fearing the Boss’s rage, and sneaked a look at the ’barbarian’ whose handsome face was dark with fury yet showing a flicker of contemplation.
After a long pause, Huo Zhenyang spoke coldly, "You let her resign, right? Fine, no problem."
Fang Yao was somewhat surprised. Huh, had this man seen sense? Was he agreeing to let Jiayi resign just because of what she said?
No way...
Sure enough, Huo Zhenyang continued, "She already found a new job, didn’t she?"
Fang Yao’s throat tightened slightly, keeping it from him was pointless, she had to stand her ground, "Yes."
"What job?"
Even if she didn’t say, the man would find out. Fang Yao clenched her teeth and repeated the job offer Jiayi had told her about, "There’s a big movie being filmed in Yunling at the moment, they need to recruit a temporary costume and props designer."
Silence for over ten seconds.
Huo Zhenyang stood up, his face turning slightly as he glanced coldly, "Contact that film crew, call the person in charge of interviews."
Then he looked at Fang Yao, staring straight at her with no shortage of sarcasm, "Even if you let her resign, it’s useless."
"Derek!" Fang Yao exclaimed in shock, realizing he intended to get the other party to reject Jiayi, "Can’t you show some humanity?"
"Letting her come back to Yundu and work comfortably is humanity," Huo Zhenyang brushed his neat shirt cuffs and left the office.
Fang Yao watched his retreating figure, took a deep breath, and worried about Jiayi, who had gone off to the interview full of high spirits and confidence, oblivious to how disappointed she’d be.
----
The studio was set up in the eastern suburbs of Yunling, and the interview was being held there as well.
According to Anya, the deputy director responsible for costumes was personally conducting the interviews. Not daring to take it lightly, Jiayi dressed up in Yundu and arrived on time.
