Chapter 344 — Company Personnel Appointment
Years of Heartflutter · Page 5 of 5
What no one had expected was that Jing Yu would be made executive vice president, which carried far more power than an ordinary vice president. And what surprised them even more was that Jing Yu would be in charge of the three most vital departments in the company, holding the purse strings and the power over personnel! Those had once been the responsibility of Qu Daming and Liu Chan; in their day they had also overseen the purchasing department. But when two people had been responsible for four departments and Jing Yu alone was responsible for three, there was no need at all to compare who held more power.
Had Jing Yu been put directly in charge of all four departments, it would have been too conspicuous and unrealistic. Three departments was already the limit.
Every gaze turned envious. Jing Yu was a rising star in the company; whatever her age now—she was still a student—there was no denying that she had become the third most powerful figure in the company, with a voice second only to Hou Lin and Bao Lin.
Yet amid the applause, the one most at a loss was Jing Yu herself. The moment Hou Lin finished announcing the appointment, she was dumbstruck! She... was now executive vice president?
So fast? She truly could not believe the fact before her eyes. Was this a dream? The joy had come too suddenly, too swiftly; there had been no time to tell true from false before she was drowned in applause...
Yang Ce looked at Jing Yu's dazed expression and could not help laughing. "Xiao Lu, congratulations!"
At Yang Shuoxuan's words, Jing Yu knew it was all real, not a dream—she really had been promoted to executive vice president. She did not catch the several personnel appointments that followed; her head was in a whirl, a complete blank.
Those next appointments were of no great consequence anyway—department managers of some of the lower departments and the like, none of whom rated a seat on the podium.
Burst after burst of applause rang out, clearly congratulating each employee who had been promoted.
The least pleased, of course, was Wang Xiaoran. Jing Yu as executive vice president was utterly beyond her expectations. Yesterday she had been an ordinary manager's assistant, not even a manager; today she had become the company's third in command. The speed of the transformation was truly hard for her to accept.
She was somewhat resentful in secret. Yu Chi, that cousin of hers, really was something—so many people in the company had been promoted, so why not Yu Chi? She listened all the way to the end before disappointment turned to indignation.
Jing Yu had become executive vice president, and she was merely a woman—while Yu Chi was real family!
