On the way to the company, Gu Zixuan didn’t want to deal with Feng Chengjin anymore. Once she reached the company, she hurriedly decided to go to the human resources department alone. However, in the underground parking lot, before she could find the staff elevator, Feng Chengjin pulled her into the private elevator. Inside the elevator, Gu Zixuan was both frustrated and helpless; after all, she really wasn’t a match for Feng Chengjin’s strength. Thinking about how she had foolishly started working at his company, she suddenly worried deeply at this moment—wasn’t she just being used by Feng Chengjin, like a sheep walking into a tiger’s den? Gu Zixuan was on her guard, and the look in her eyes was crystal clear to Feng Chengjin. So, he lowered his head and chuckled slightly, finding it very amusing. Yet, faced with Gu Zixuan’s action of instinctively distancing herself. After the elevator ascended more than ten floors, he couldn’t resist his displeasure and pulled her back beside him. Ten fingers intertwined, the palm felt warm and beautiful. Holding her hand, Feng Chengjin quietly watched the elevator rise. However, to Gu Zixuan, the dry palm only made her feel sensation wasn’t much better than a kiss. It equally made her feel a tingling electric shock all over her body, and equally made her heart race tightly. Especially standing beside him, even smelling the scent on his suit made her cheeks burn. So, after a pause, as the elevator was about to reach the human resources department, she released his hand, grabbed her purse, and swept her fallen hair behind her ear. Seeing Gu Zixuan still shy and reserved because of what happened in the morning, Feng Chengjin smirked lightly, without minding too much, "Let’s have lunch together." The suggestion was made in a negotiable tone, but Gu Zixuan had no suitable reason to refuse. In the end, she could only nod, quickly rushing out when the elevator door opened. The elevator doors slowly closed, continuing to ascend. Inside the elevator, Feng Chengjin had his hands in his pockets, watching Gu Zixuan’s fleeing back, chuckling amusingly, turning his head away, as the fine lines at the corners of his thirty-four-year-old eyes deepened with laughter... Arriving at the entrance of the human resources department, Ding Hui, the vice president of Fengyi Company, was already waiting for her. They had met in yesterday’s meeting and agreed that Ding Hui would familiarize her with the company’s workflow today. However, Gu Zixuan considered herself not late, Fengyi started work at 10 a.m., and she arrived at the company at 9:32, yet she was still later than the vice president... What filled her with even more apprehension was that as the new project team was being formed, its staff prepared, today was everyone’s first day meeting her, and several large and small leaders were all present. Looking at the pairs of eyes watching her emerge, and at the employee elevator conveniently located beside the human resources department. Gu Zixuan truly felt she couldn’t explain coming out from the more spacious and elegant route. Blushing, she awkwardly didn’t know how to speak. In the end, Ding Hui glanced in the direction, seemed to understand something, curved his lips into a deep smile, and said, "Miss Gu has arrived, let’s go take a look at your office, and I’ll introduce you to other colleagues from the e-commerce project team." Gu Zixuan finally found the way down, nodded urgently, and said, "Okay." Gu Zixuan quickly followed Ding Hui away. Behind them, the crowd of deputy directors, managers, and others looked at the elevator direction and then at Gu Zixuan’s back, exchanging glances. Immediately, they came to a silent understanding. At that moment, besides admiring Miss Gu’s excellent business skills from yesterday. They also admired Miss Gu’s ability to capture the company’s and even Rong City’s number one diamond bachelor, worshipping her profoundly. Finally, they whole-heartedly respected the Young Madam they would have to obey in the future. Gu Zixuan quickly understood the matter after taking a tour. Especially Feng Chengjin’s arrangement for the vice president to personally guide her around the office area—it was an unprecedented treatment within Fengyi. Thus, even without Feng Chengjin’s presence, not causing excessive public opinion, the result still instilled a sense of awe towards her. Once she sat back in the white office, observing the respectful attitude of the managers and deputy directors, and the situation as the new secretary reported work, she became more skillful in modulating her tone. Gu Zixuan found it somewhat amusing, looking at the young girl in her early twenties, "You don’t have to be so formal, I’m not that intimidating. Actually, I’m not familiar with many things about Fengyi, so there might be times I need your help more." Perhaps it was the gentle voice combined with Gu Zixuan’s unique star-like charisma. The young girl breathed a slight sigh of relief and then smiled to introduce herself, "Hello, Director Gu. My last name is Xi, and my name is Xi Ruo. You can just call me Xiao Xi." "Oh, Xiao Xi, Xi Ruo." Gu Zixuan pondered for a moment and gave a faint smile, "It’s a pretty name." The atmosphere was calm, and Xi Ruo, who liked Gu Zixuan’s smile very much, smiled with her eyes as well. However, she still keenly felt that there were people in the company who didn’t like her presence. For example... earlier, when passing by the tea room, a woman with golden curly hair dressed in Gucci’s early autumn fashion, upon seeing her being toured around by Deputy Director Ding Hui and others, shot her a disapproving look and turned away. Now, watching her sit in the office, the woman walked over as if not for business with her eight-centimeter heels, exuding a queen-like demeanor. The transparent glass walls of the office clearly reflected the woman’s figure. Gu Zixuan glanced and asked, "Who is that?" Xi Ruo squinted and said, "That’s Musa, the head of the Human Resources Department." "Oh, HR department." Gu Zixuan nodded knowingly. Xi Ruo, however, looked at her gentle, harmless face and couldn’t help but kindly warn, "Director Gu, Director Mu is very difficult to deal with. Besides the CEO and a few deputy directors and Director Xu Chuan of the technical department, she doesn’t respect anyone. In the future..." Gu Zixuan was taken aback for a moment, then looking at Xiao Xi, who was worried about her, she smiled, "It’s okay, I’m not gentle to everyone." With that assurance, Xi Ruo felt more at ease. However, regarding the woman who seemingly disliked her just from her look, Gu Zixuan kept a wary eye on her. It felt like more than just displeasure over her sudden appointment. The morning passed by quickly. Gu Zixuan has a calm nature, so her work pace was also very calm. Basically, after the morning, the employees of the newly formed e-commerce project team had grasped the temperament of the new director. A gentle and pragmatic person. Knowing that she focused on business matters, everyone felt somewhat relieved. As long as they did their jobs well without mistakes, and got the app and website up quickly, aiming for substantial market share would be just fine. For Gu Zixuan, however, dealing with complicated business processes and adopting new forms of working like installing chat software and exchanging emails was a stretch from tradition that she needed to adapt to swiftly. In the midst of her busyness, she lost track of time. It was when Feng Chengjin called that she realized, glancing at his watch, that he had mentioned having lunch together. Her face instantly flushed, and she turned slightly, saying, "Feng Chengjin, it’s not even noon yet." On the other end, Feng Chengjin chuckled, "I appointed you as the project director just to set the direction and review project content. You don’t have to handle every little detail, so why are you getting so caught up?" It felt like Feng Chengjin pampered her to the moon and back with work. Her face reddened slightly, and she replied, "But it’s too early for lunch." "Do you really want to wait until you have to squeeze into the elevator with the staff and let everyone see you going to my floor?" Feng Chengjin laughed softly on the phone. Gu Zixuan’s face grew hotter, recalling what happened before. Even though she knew Feng Chengjin was trying to lure her upstairs, she was left speechless. Seeing her hesitation, Feng Chengjin’s voice became more persuasive, "Come up. I want to ask you about your morning company tour." The most update n0vels are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet Alright... discussing work was what could convince her. And from Feng Chengjin’s tone, if she didn’t go up, he might come down instead. Raising her gaze to meet Xi Ruo’s, she suppressed the heat on her face and agreed. After hanging up, she tidied her hair a bit and headed for the elevator. Waiting for the elevator, she didn’t notice. From the transparent conference room at the bend of the floor, Musa was still negotiating with their new project group’s department manager about the recruitment situation for grassroots employees. After the discussion, the department manager left. Musa fixed her gaze on Gu Zixuan’s back. Standing beside Musa, her assistant couldn’t help but comment, "Do you think this new Miss Gu has any backing? No educational background, no salary figures, nothing at all, parachuted into the project group as the director, and so beautiful. Could she be someone a deputy director is supporting?" Musa squinted her eyes without saying a word. The assistant couldn’t help but add, "But if she were really someone supported by a deputy director, that would be fine. At most, she’s a deputy director’s wife. But if she’s planning to seduce President Feng while riding on someone else’s coattails, then..." Instantly, Musa’s eyes turned cold and predatory. The assistant An Ran immediately sensed the chill beside her, lowered her eyes, and said no more.
