Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce

Chapter 822 - 315: Yang Mi and Tang Yan Clash on the Plane (Part 2)

"Recently, there’s been so much going on at the company that I’m feeling quite overwhelmed. I’m just one person; how many nails can I hammer with a body of iron?""So I’ve been thinking about setting up a permanent team to help me handle some of the more important tasks."

"What do you think?"

"Great idea!" Ouyang Jiani was completely on board with the suggestion.

"Master, I’ve been wanting to remind you for a while now to take it easy at work. You should get more helpers. Big companies have heaps of assistants for the chairman, but you’re quite unique, you only have a few secretaries to help compile some documents. What can they do? They don’t have the authority to sign important documents, and they can’t handle even minor issues. They just help you out with everyday errands. You can’t rely on them for other things, nor do they have the power to get things done."

It seemed like Ouyang Jiani had been holding these thoughts in for a long time, and she took this chance to spill them all out.

"Haha... you’ve been holding these words in for quite a while, haven’t you?" Sun Dasheng could instantly tell what she had on her mind.

Ouyang Jiani shyly brushed her hair: "Master, it’s not that I’m being distant, I just haven’t had the chance to share my thoughts with you."

Sun Dasheng nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, putting you in the Monitoring Department was out of necessity at the time, because I didn’t have many trustworthy people. Now that the department is running smoothly, do you have anyone in mind to succeed you?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jiani’s heart pounded fast, knowing her opportunity had arrived.

This meant Master was going to promote her.

She didn’t bother with keeping a poker face in front of her Master but instead showed her joy clearly, hugging his arm and saying:

"Master, I’ve been waiting for your call, hehe... I’ve already found a successor, Xiang Yiren from the PR department. Sister Yiren is a great choice; she’s someone you trust, right?"

Ouyang Jiani had long been aware of Xiang Yiren’s status, and though she hadn’t pointed it out before, this was a special moment where revealing this connection was no big deal.

Sun Dasheng looked at this clever lass with a half-smile, pulling her into his arms to pat her head: "That’s good. I’m planning to set up a Chairman’s Assistant Office next, and you’ll take over the assistant position. As for other assistants, you can select them from our branches according to my requirements."

"Remember to choose those who are fresh graduates. They are simpler-minded and easier to develop than those seasoned workers."

Upon hearing this from her Master, Ouyang Jiani felt sweet as honey.

Don’t underestimate the Chairman’s Assistant role; it’s not a low-level position.

On the contrary, in all big companies, the Chairman’s Assistant is part of the upper management.

And most of them can even enter the board.

"Okay, Master, keep your hands to yourself... ah!"

A slight commotion happened in the office.

"Sorry, Master’s temper flared a bit just now, are you okay?" Sun Dasheng lit a cigarette and asked his apprentice, whose hair was a bit disheveled.

Ouyang Jiani took out her makeup kit to tidy up, saying with slight annoyance: "Master, you were too rough, weren’t you?"

"Next time, let me know in advance so I can prepare."

This experience wasn’t great for her.

No prelude.

"Alright, this time it was Master’s mistake. By the way, why do I feel like you’ve lost more weight recently?" Sun Dasheng furrowed his brows, measuring her frame with his hands.

Ouyang Jiani’s gaze was somewhat evasive: "Master, it’s because of work. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been eating properly."

"That’s not it!" Sun Dasheng disagreed with her explanation.

"What’s wrong?" Ouyang Jiani asked nervously.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Sun Dasheng asked, slightly pressuring her with his grip.

"Ouch, Master, it hurts, okay, I’ll tell you everything." Finding it impossible to hide, Ouyang Jiani confessed: "It’s just that I hadn’t seen Master in a long time and started thinking that you lost interest in your apprentice. So, I’ve been controlling my diet, hoping to look slimmer and prettier to earn your attention again."

"Silly girl!" Sun Dasheng patted her head.

So that’s what it was.

"You’ve got it all wrong." "I command you to gain back those pounds you lost. You were so cute when plump, but now you’re not cute at all."

"Huh?" Ouyang Jiani’s mouth gaped wide; she never imagined Master would view her this way.

"What do you mean ’huh’? Remember what I said. Health is the top priority, and your Master’s standard of beauty isn’t about being skinny. Got it?"

Sun Dasheng gave her a light tap.

She finally reacted promptly, nodding repeatedly: "I got it, Master. It was all in my head before, misunderstanding you, sorry."

"Correcting mistakes is great, so I’ll forgive your nonsense this time. In the future, remember that health is paramount. Protect your body well, so you can help me with more important tasks, understand?"

"Alright, I promise to always remember your advice and won’t act recklessly again." Ouyang Jiani swore sincerely.

"Okay, that’s it for your matters. Go call Xiang Yiren over, have her transition with you right away."

"Should I call her?" Ouyang Jiani pointed at her nose.

"You can go yourself to show sincerity, but sending a secretary is fine too, up to you." Sun Dasheng left it open, giving her the choice.

She immediately chose the former, wanting to improve relations with Master’s other women.

"I’ll go right away."

Clack, clack, clack~~ The sound of high heels fading away.

Following closely was the sound of the door shutting.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Sun Dasheng knew the person had arrived and personally went to open the door, seeing Xiang Yiren’s bewildered face; he smiled and said: "So you’re here!"

"Yeah." Xiang Yiren nodded slightly.

She didn’t know why Sun Dasheng had Minister Ouyang from the Monitoring Department call her over, so she didn’t act too familiar.

"President Sun, is there something you need from me?" Xiang Yiren asked professionally and respectfully.

She hadn’t expected Sun Dasheng to burst out laughing.

She didn’t quite understand.

Sun Dasheng walked over, took her hand, and placed it together with his apprentice, Ouyang Jiani’s hand: "Why not reintroduce yourselves to each other?"

Having said that, he left the office.

Leaving space for the two women.

He trusted Ouyang Jiani to handle things well.

Xiang Yiren looked at Ouyang Jiani holding her hand, gradually understanding, and tentatively asked: "Are you also President Sun’s..."

"That’s right, just like you’re thinking. Have a seat. You’re slightly older; I should call you sister, right?"

Xiang Yiren smiled as she looked at her: "Okay, then I’ll call you Little Ouyang."

They knew each other already but had a vague sense of each other’s relationships with Sun Dasheng without breaking the ice.

Now with words spoken, their relationship swiftly closed the gap.

Xiang Yiren asked in slight confusion: "What’s Brother Sun’s intention?"

Ouyang Jiani understood what she wanted to ask, explaining the previous events in detail, concluding:

"Master wants to promote those he trusts, relying on us to handle things with assurance."

"But... I’m not sure if I can manage." Xiang Yiren felt a bit insecure.

Previously managing the PR department was already challenging, enrolling in an MBA program and constantly learning from professional subordinates, finally mastering the role after much effort. Now she was being asked to switch roles again. Can she really do it?

Ouyang Jiani seemed to see through her worries, comforting her: "The Monitoring Department isn’t that technical a position; what matters most is being considerate for the company and selfless. That’s what’s important, and as for auditing and investigation, there are specialists for that, you just need to oversee things."

"Then I’m good." Hearing this, Xiang Yiren’s face eased from its worried expression.
