Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1258

After the meeting ended, Zheng Yifan left the office excitedly and proceeded to prepare the proposal that Yan Shaoqing had requested him to do. The seniors were left in the meeting room.

The atmosphere in the office felt much more relaxed than before.

Li Mengjie smiled and said, “The health supplements company is going to get listed soon. Brother Yan is going to have a hard time.”

For the past few years, Yan Shaoqing had been putting in a lot of effort into managing Lanxin Company and expanding into the health supplements industry. It could be said that Yan Shaoqing was the one who deserved the most credit for their rapid progress.

Of course, they could not deny the fact that it was also because of Wen Xinya’s good leadership. However, Wen Xinya was still barely an adult and there were plenty of things that she couldn’t do, though she was in charge of making the decisions. Besides, she did not have enough time because she had to juggle her academics too.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “Team Leader Li is right. Brother Yan has put in so much time and effort into Lanxin Company. We’ve all witnessed it, too.” She then glanced at Yan Shaoqing and said, “Brother Yan, it’s been hard on you. You shall take a break during this period of time. We have Zheng Yifan to tend to the company here.”

Yan Shaoqing had been through three years of training and had already gained enough experience to take charge of everything. Not only was he conscientious and meticulous, but he was also getting sharper and shrewder when handling things. The success of Lanxin’s health supplements brand was all thanks to his preparations and planning. There were plenty of things that a company would have to face during expansion, such as the construction of the factory, training of staff, recruitment and other relevant preparations. Even though they did not lack funds, they still had to start from the basics, and the amount of manpower, energy, and resources required was unimaginable.

However, they managed to overcome all of the obstacles and made it this far.

Perhaps because of the experience that he had gained from working, Yan Shaoqing seemed to have grown mature and the confidence that he exuded made him look more presentable despite his unsatisfactory appearance.

Yan Shaoqing frantically said, “Lanxin Company managed to make it this far, all thanks to everyone’s hard work. I didn’t have too hard of a time, so I don’t need a break. Ever since Zheng Yifan joined the company, I’ve been feeling much more relaxed. I’ve gotten used to getting busy too. I’ll feel strange if I were to go on a break.”

Ouyang Feng almost stomped his feet after hearing his words. “Old Yan, you’re just born to be a slave.” He then turned to look at Wen Xinya and said, “Since he doesn’t want a break, may we take a break instead? Old Yan has it hard, but we have it hard too.”

Although he could not help out much with the listing of the health supplements company, he had at least helped with the miscellaneous tasks like running errands and cleaning up. He had also gotten sick of eating packed lunches.

Wen Xinya laughed and said, “I’ll give you guys a week’s break once the company is listed.”

Now that the company had already gotten on track, the structure of the company was perfect and there would be no problem even if they were to go on a break since there was Zheng Yifan to tend to the company.

The few of them were over the moon and Ouyang Feng cheered. “That’s what you said. Don’t forget about it when the time comes.”

Wen Xinya gritted her teeth and asked, “Since when have I ever gone back on my word?”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yan Shaoqing then proceeded to report to Wen Xinya about work. “I plan to hire Zheng Yifan for good. Once the health supplements company is listed, I’ll promote him to General Manager and he’ll be in charge of managing the company’s operations. Zheng Yifan has a good character and is very competent too. Although he’s a little young and not shrewd enough, these are not problems at all.

Li Mengjie frantically said, “That young chap Zheng Yifan is a good choice. He may be a little young, but he’s very meticulous and reliable. He’s the reason why the expansion of Lanxin Cosmetics could be so successful. I think he definitely makes the cut for the position of General Manager. Most importantly… Brother Yan will be able to relax when the time comes.”

Ouyang Feng agreed. “Zheng Yifan is ambitious and full of ideas. He’s a very good candidate for managing.”

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Everyone can see how competent Zheng Yifan is. Since you guys are all agreeable, I don’t have any objections.”

Although Lanxin Company was still small and had to be developed slowly, there would still be chances to salvage it even if they had chosen the wrong person.

Yan Shaoqing mentioned about Chen Xinchen again and said, “Chen Xinchen is not too bad, either. Although he’s not as capable as Zheng Yifan, his performance is ideal and I’ve currently begun using the proposal that he has drafted for the company’s financial planning. I think we should show our respect for him and nurture him.”

Due to the fact that the company had yet to be fully developed, they had yet to implement elaborate cybersecurity measures. Hence, there was no need for Gao Enyang to showcase his abilities yet. However, he was quick-witted and proactive, as evidenced by his enthusiasm in helping everyone complete their work.

Wen Xinya did not expect that Yan Shaoqing would still have the time to observe the employees despite his busy schedule. “Brother Yan, no one can compare to you when it comes to judging people.”

Yan Shaoqing immediately felt shy about receiving a compliment.

Wen Xinya said, “You’ve all been busy with work lately. I’ll book a room at Ninth-Heaven tonight to reward you guys for your efforts. Ask Zheng Yifan and the rest along, too. Don’t forget about the staff who have been working hard lately.”

Li Mengjie chuckled and said, “You finally realized that we’ve been working hard. You’ve finally found your conscience.”

Wen Xinya ignored her teasing and said, “Sis Li, don’t forget to ask Brother Qiu along too. He’s been helping us out while we were busy and he even had to take care of his wife too. Brother Qiu has it tougher than us.”

They burst into laughter.

Li Mengjie immediately turned red and glowered at Wen Xinya. “Since you want to invite him, call him yourself. All you do is tease me.”

Ouyang Feng smiled and said, “How does it not concern you? He’s your boyfriend, of course you have to invite him.”

Li Mengjie picked up her cup to drink some water, ignoring Ouyang Feng.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “Sis Li, you and Brother Qiu have been together for two years, right? I believe you know how well he treats you. You guys are not getting any younger, either. When do you plan to settle down?”

Qiu Yifan and Li Mengjie had been dating each other for almost three years and Li Mengjie was almost thirty. However, she had still yet to accept Qiu Yifan’s proposal.

The mention of it made Li Mengjie’s smile fade. “I plan to think about it only after the company has stabilized.”

Her career had just begun to progress and she was currently learning how to manage the business and operations. Marriage was not on her mind for now.

Wen Xinya decided not to force her. She said smilingly, “Have a good chat with Brother Qiu. He seems to be rather eager.”

Li Mengjie was a career-minded woman. Hence, Qiu Yifan definitely still had a long way to go.
