Chapter 745: Promoting Xia Ye

Min Min, you let Ning girl work under Chen Yang; aren't you afraid of problems?

Mom, as long as she doesn't leave Yang City, there won't be any problems.

You're too confident, kid. Don't forget they have an emotional foundation; with just a little opportunity, that relationship could very well reignite.

It's fine; worst case, we just divorce. If the man is gone and there are several billion in divorce settlement, I'll still live very well.

You silly girl, do you think being with Chen Yang is just for his money?

Yeah! I have no business talent, and I can't let my dad engage in corruption; without finding a rich husband, how can I live a comfortable life in the future?

You dead girl, if your dad found out, he'd be furious enough to die!

Hehe, if you don't tell my dad, problem solved! Besides, being with Chen Yang isn't entirely for his money. Being with him is comfortable. Since that kidnapping, he's the only man I don't need to be on guard against.

If that's the case, why are you still letting him fool around among the flowers? If you really end up with a bunch of weird women, just wait to cry.

What should I do? I can't lock him up at home every day, can I?

No need for that, but you at least need to follow your husband's lead. As long as you stay by his side, you can keep all those wild flowers out.

Isn't that wrong? I've already had Bai Xiao watch him 24/7. If he pushes further, wouldn't that be personally pushing him into another woman's arms?

You kid, Bai Xiao is just a guard; protecting Chen Yang's safety in the dark is her main duty. The rest is unnecessary. By comparison, as his wife you should spend more time with him. Look at your dad—if I didn't often accompany him, I don't know how many stepmothers he'd give you.

Mom, you didn't learn this trick from my aunt, did you?

Hehe, does my aunt's little skill even qualify to be my teacher? If I weren't backing her up, she'd probably be hiding somewhere crying right now.

Alright, then I'll go to Deep City soon, so he doesn't sneak off to Hong Kong to rekindle things with that Liu woman.

Yeah, that's right. As long as you always stay by Chen Yang's side, women who still harbor fantasies about him will naturally give up.

……

In the office of the General Manager of Deep City's Common People's Agricultural Products Trading Company branch, Chen Yang listened to Zhao Xiaoxiao's work report while flipping through a personal file.

The person in the file is Xia Ye, Chen Yang's good friend from his previous life in Deep City. For some reason, Chen Yang has had Zhao Xiaoxiao keep him from being promoted, and he remains merely a business clerk at the branch.

This time coming to Deep Pool, besides discussing business with the Liu Clan Group, another purpose is to bring Xia Ye to Modu.

After Zhao Xiaoxiao finished her report, he then returned the file to her.

Manager Zhao, I recall Xia Ye's girlfriend also works at our company; where is her file?

Boss, his girlfriend couldn't handle the hardship and quit after less than three months. After that, I stopped paying attention to her. However, recently Xia Ye's mood suddenly became very low, he wasn't proactive at work, and he even got into an argument with the Business Department manager. If I hadn't stopped him, he probably would have quit.

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. The reason he had Zhao Xiaoxiao keep Xia Ye from being promoted too early was to make his gold-digging girlfriend give up. Otherwise, Xia Ye in this life would probably have to wear another big green hat.

Manager Zhao, have Xia Ye come over; I want to talk with him.

Okay! Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't waste words, she directly called the Business Department.

Two minutes later, a knocking sound came from outside the office.

Manager Zhao, I'm Xia Ye from the Business Department; the manager sent me to see you.

Zhao Xiaoxiao walked to the door, opened it, and after Xia Ye entered the office, she stepped out again. Inside the office, only Xia Ye remained facing Chen Yang.

Director Chen, is it you who wanted to see me? Xia Ye saw Chen Yang appear in the office and was surprised for a while.

After all, he initially joined the Common People's Agricultural Products Trading Company because of Chen Yang. Yet after being in the company so long, he rarely had a chance to meet Chen Yang.

This company big boss is, in the minds of the Deep City branch employees, a mysterious existence. To say he doesn't care about them—yearly benefits haven't been lacking, and salaries have kept increasing. To say he does care—he hasn't visited the branch for inspection in a long time, as if he'd forgotten the branch exists.

At this moment, Chen Yang not only appeared at the branch but also specially requested to see him. This made him feel very uneasy.

After all, due to a recent breakup, he had been slacking off for a while and even had a big argument with the Business Department manager. If Chen Yang were to fire him for this reason, all those years of hard work would be wasted.

Chen Yang gestured for him to sit opposite his desk, then said expressionlessly: "Xia Ye, your business ability is not bad; are you interested in transferring to the Modu branch to develop? There, I'll give you a supervisory position."

Upon hearing that, Xia Ye stared for a moment. "Director Chen, you're not going to fire me, are you?"

Chen Yang smiled at him and said: "With your abilities so strong, why would I fire you?"

Xia Ye gave an embarrassed smile. Over these years, he hasn't failed to complain that the company's upper management doesn't recognize talent. Clearly his business ability is the best in the Business Department, yet he hasn't even gotten a team leader position. If it weren't for the Business Department manager still having a conscience and not deducting bonuses, he would have quit long ago.

Director Chen, the company is full of elites; how could you take a liking to me?

Chen Yang looked at his doubtful expression, suppressed a smile, and said: "Actually, I knew about your ability soon after you joined the company. Zhao Xiaoxiao has been reporting your ability to me. The reason I've held back your promotion is to give you more training. Now I think the time is about right; it just depends on whether you're willing to accept a new challenge."

Upon hearing that, Xia Ye got so excited he almost jumped up. "Director Chen, I'm willing to go to Modu to take on the new challenge."

Chen Yang nodded and then said to him: "I recall you still have a girlfriend. Should we first ask for her opinion?"

Xia Ye's eyes instantly dimmed, and he replied sadly: "She thinks following me has no future, and she's already married someone else."

Upon hearing that the gold-digging girlfriend had married, the big stone in Chen Yang's heart also fell. A breakup can still be reconciled, but once married, the chance of reconciliation becomes very slim. After Xia Ye goes to Modu, they'll have even less chance of meeting again.

"Where under heaven is there no fragrant grass?" Since you have no fate together, just focus your energy on your career! Once your career succeeds, you'll surely meet another woman who moves your heart sooner or later.

"Thank you, Director Chen!" Xia Ye never expected that this big boss, who appears and disappears like a divine dragon, would also care about the love life of an ordinary employee like him; he was instantly moved to tears.

He swore that after this trip to Modu, he would definitely work hard and repay Chen Yang's kindness in recognizing him with his actions.
