Chapter 162 Another Promotion  

"Chairman Bai, I think the promotion should go to He Xinyan."

Both Bai Jiawei and Li Yuyan's smiles disappeared as their eyes widened in shock.

"What?!" Li Yuyan said out loud as she jumped up from the couch. Bai Jiawei was a little more calm as he stayed put, but he was also very shocked.

Li Yuyan had made it clear to him several times that Manager Yu liked her more, and that was why Bai Jiawei agreed to let manager Yu decide on the promotion!

Of course he didn't want to give the promotion to He Xinyan! He couldn't control her and to be honest, he didn't want the company to go back to the He family's hands.

Bai Jiawei cleared his throat and reluctantly said, "Oh. . . Okay. That's great! Good job, Xinyan. You will be the team leader then."

"But dad -" Li Yuyan frowned.

"Yuyan, manager Yu made her decision! Work harder if you want a promotion too!" Bai Jiawei said unhappily as he glared at Li Yuyan.

"You guys can go back to work. I have a meeting soon." Bai Jiawei said as he stood up from the couch and walked over to his table.

He didn't look very happy about He Xinyan getting the promotion, and He Xinyan caught his reaction.

She smiled and stood up from the couch, walking out of the room after manager Yu. At least she was one step closer to taking over the company.

Li Yuyan was the last to enter the elevator, and the entire ride down was silent.

When they reached the 12th floor, manager Yu announced to everyone that He Xinyan would be the team leader, and she congratulated He Xinyan too.

After talking to He Xinyan about her future tasks and duties, manager Yu returned to her office. Right away, Li Yuyan followed.

She slammed the door shut and glared at manager Yu.

"Yu Lin, how dare you give the promotion to He Xinyan?! Do you still remember our deal?! You took the money so why aren't you agreeing to your part of the deal?! I can tell on you about receiving bribes from employees!"

Yu Lin smiled as she sat down on her chair, "You can have your money back. I will give it back to you by the end of the week. Li Yuyan, our deal is off."

"You!" Li Yuyan's face was red from anger, "I'll go tell my dad right now about the deal you made with me!"

"Go ahead! Let's see if he will be mad at me or mad at you for trying to bribe your boss!"

Li Yuyan stopped in her tracks, "Yu Lin, you!"

"Li Yuyan, you truly aren't that smart. No wonder you are always under He Xinyan. If you want a promotion, go work hard."

Li Yuyan wanted to slap Yu Lin, but she held it in as she kicked the door open and marched out of the room.

Yu Lin! How dare she talk to her like that?!

Li Yuyan returned to her spot and slammed the cup on her table onto the ground. A few of the workers glanced at her, and she screamed at them to stop looking.

There was no way she would let He Xinyan get a promotion!

---

After most of the workers had left, Li Yuyan went up to the top floor and entered Bai Jiawei's office.

He saw her and stood up, "Yuyan, what are you doing here?"

Bai Jiawei was still a little angry about manager Yu giving the promotion to He Xinyan when Li Yuyan had told him that she was certain manager Yu would pick her.

"Dad!" Li Yuyan ran over and held onto Bai Jiawei's arm, "You can't just let He Xinyan get a promotion like that! What about me?!"

Bai Jiawei frowned, "You were the one that told me that manager Yu liked you more. If I had known she would pick He Xinyan, I wouldn't have agreed. You have to pay the price of your own words."

"But dad! I didn't know either. You have to help me. Give me a promotion too!"

Bai Jiawei pushed off Li Yuyan's hand, "I can't. Or else He Xinyan would get suspicious."

"Dad, she won't! Just come up with something like. . . like I should also learn! Being a worker won't help me learn how to lead, so you can promote me too!"

Bai Jiawei sighed, "Ah, I don't know. I'll think about it."

"Dad, please!"

"Let's go home."

Li Yuyan unwillingly followed Bai Jiawei out of the office, and they returned home together.

---

The next day, everyone arrived at work on time, and once again, He Xinyan, Li Yuyan, and manager Yu were called to Bai Jiawei's office.

He Xinyan already had a slight guess of what Bai Jiawei was going to say, and she wasn't surprised.

They entered the room and sat down on the couch.

"I have decided to also give Li Yuyan a promotion. After all, like I said yesterday, being a leader is important to learn how to lead a group. Li Yuyan is also my daughter, and I'm also hoping that she will be able to work in the company in the future."

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow.

"So, I have decided to also make her a group leader."

Li Yuyan smiled when she heard that, and she stared proudly at He Xinyan.

He Xinyan also returned her smile, which left Li Yuyan surprised and confused. Shouldn't He Xinyan be very angry and screaming at Bai Jiawei right now?

Li Yuyan furrowed her eyebrows slightly as she rolled her eyes. Whatever. . . He Xinyan was just pretending to be calm right now. She was probably cursing inside already.

However, Li Yuyan was wrong.

He Xinyan wasn't angry, because she knew. . .

The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

---

After returning to the 12th floor, manager Yu called everyone together.

"Li Yuyan just got promoted to the team leader of team B. This is perfect timing because the next task is a team task. Team A and B, listen up. Both of you will create a presentation about possible marketing and advertising strategies for our makeup brand coming out soon. The two presentations will be held in the meeting room tomorrow morning at 10, and one group will win."

He Xinyan nodded her head. She was the leader of team A, so tomorrow will be an interesting competition.

The two groups went to work and there was still some unfinished work by the end of the day.

"Since I am presenting, I will finish the script at home tonight. Get a good night's sleep and arrive early tomorrow."

Everyone nodded their heads and they returned home.

---

After eating dinner at Gu Yechen's house, He Xinyan got to work to finish the script she was writing. She also had to check through the final slides of the presentation to make sure everything was in order before tomorrow.

He Xinyan was a little upset that she would be missing the episodes of the drama tonight, but she had to finish her work.

However, she had only typed for about 20 minutes when she fell asleep.

Gu Yechen walked over with his laptop in his hands after just washing the dishes and grinned when he saw his little kitten sleeping.

He sat down silently and put on his glasses before slowly taking He Xinyan's laptop away from her. He quickly scanned through the presentation and the script He Xinyan was writing before he began to type.

About an hour later, He Xinyan woke up, and she gasped when she realized how long she had been sleeping.

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!" He Xinyan muttered as she grabbed her laptop, which was on the table in front of her.

The laptop had fallen asleep, and when she opened it, she saw a finished script with the last two words, "Thank you."

He Xinyan skimmed through the script and her mouth fell open. Did the script mysteriously type itself. . .

Just as she was confused about what happened, Gu Yechen walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruits.

He chuckled when he saw He Xinyan with her head tilted to one side, deep in thought.

"You're awake? Come eat some fruits."

He Xinyan just noticed Gu Yechen's presence, and she turned around.

"Did you type this?" He Xinyan asked.

Gu Yechen took a bite of the dragonfruit and slowly nodded his head.

He Xinyan's eyes widened as she jumped up from the couch and ran over to Gu Yechen. She jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

Her eyes were sparkling as she kissed him several times straight, "Gu Yechen, I love you!"

Gu Yechen was very shocked but also very happy to hear that, "Just because I finished the script for you?"

He Xinyan licked her lips as she wrapped her arms around him tighter, "Yes, but no."

Yes, it was because he finished her script. But no, it was because he was always so considerate, and she felt so lucky and blessed because of him.

Gu Yechen smiled and slowly dropped her back down onto the ground, "Eat some fruits."

After finishing the plate of fruits, He Xinyan walked back to her laptop and closed it.

"You're not going to check what I wrote? What if there's a mistake?"

He Xinyan scoffed, "You're Gu Yechen!"

Although the response wasn't directed at his question, Gu Yechen knew what she meant.
