Best Young Master
Chapter 43 - 43 040 Causing a Sensation
43: Chapter 040: [Causing a Sensation] 43: Chapter 040: [Causing a Sensation] Yang Guang Mansion.
This towering building, located in the center of Hanghu City, has a total area of forty thousand square meters.
According to Hanghu’s real estate prices, its total value exceeds two billion, making it the most valuable property owned by the Su Family, and also the headquarters of the Lv Hu Group under the Su Family.
Besides the headquarters of the Lv Hu Group, the office of the Lv Hu Group Jiangnan Company is also located in Yang Guang Mansion.
The next morning, Ye Fan drove Su Yuxin’s Mercedes S700 to the parking lot underneath Yang Guang Mansion.
As the car stopped, Su Yuxin glanced at Ye Fan from the corner of her eye and noticed that Ye Fan wasn’t the least bit nervous.
Instead, he looked around like Old Lady Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything quite novel.
This discovery reassured Su Yuxin considerably.
She wasn’t worried that Ye Fan would be nervous on his first day at the company but was concerned about whether he would adapt to the role of an assistant.
“Let’s go, get out of the car.”
As Su Yuxin spoke, she didn’t wait for Ye Fan to get out but opened the door herself and stepped out—considering Ye Fan’s willingness to serve as her assistant was already a miracle, how could she dare let him, like a Su Family’s Bodyguard, open the door for her?
Unlike their casual outing yesterday, today Su Yuxin was dressed in a sharp black business suit, hair meticulously done up to reveal her fair neck, radiating an aura of cold elegance and nobility all over.
Especially after getting out of the car, she returned to her usually icy demeanor, her sanctimonious look and nobility becoming even more apparent, presenting an aura that kept people at bay.
By comparison, although Ye Fan wore the shirt, trousers, and leather shoes that Su Yuxin had specially bought for him, he did not exude a professional elite vibe; rather, he had the air of a wealthy young man.
Shua!
As it was nearly time to clock in, there were quite a few people in the parking lot who had been watching Su Yuxin’s car and now directed their gazes toward them as they got out.
They first noticed Su Yuxin, then concurrently shifted their attention to Ye Fan—Who is this guy?
No answer.
Nor did anyone dare to greet Su Yuxin; those people glanced quickly then diverted their eyes and hastened toward the lobby on the first floor.
In the lobby, the receptionists, unlike before, weren’t standing stiff with their hands on their stomachs but were chatting and laughing about something.
“Huh, what’s with them today?
Why is everyone rushing around as if they’re hurrying to reincarnate?” Soon, one of the receptionists noticed something was off and couldn’t help but ask.
In the past half year, Su Yuxin had been traveling around the world for treatment and had hardly come to the office.
This had made the employees somewhat lax, not as diligent as they were when Su Yuxin was present.
“No… it couldn’t be that Mr.
Su has come back, could it?” Another receptionist spoke up, remembering that the employees’ behavior now was exactly like it had been six months ago.
Click-clack!
Click-clack!
No sooner had the second receptionist spoken than the crisp sound of high heels striking the floor came from the entrance; Su Yuxin walked into the lobby with an icy demeanor.
“Mr.
Su!”
As Su Yuxin appeared, the receptionists became as pale as rats before a cat, two of whom even stuttered a bit while speaking.
Clearly… they were all worried that their earlier lax demeanour had been noticed by Su Yuxin.
And, based on their understanding of Su Yuxin, if she had seen this scene, they would probably be asked to pack up and leave.
This was an outcome they did not wish to face—although the Lv Hu Group Jiangnan Branch had strict management, the compensation was much better than at other real estate companies in Jiangnan.
Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but inwardly admire the high esteem in which Su Yuxin was held in the company, but he understood that no matter how powerful Su Yuxin seemed, she was essentially a kind and gentle woman.
What reassured the receptionists was that Su Yuxin did not scold them but walked straight to the CEO-exclusive elevator without a glance elsewhere.
As Ye Fan observed the lobby’s decor, he leisurely followed Su Yuxin and finally entered the elevator with her.
Hmm?
In the lobby, both the receptionists and some other employees didn’t dare to openly watch them, but they glanced surreptitiously.
At this moment, seeing Ye Fan follow Su Yuxin into the CEO-exclusive elevator, which had previously only been for Su Yuxin herself, everyone was stunned as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight!
Who is that man?
After the shock, everyone who had witnessed this scene silently questioned themselves.
In the elevator, Ye Fan was unaware of the shock his seemingly inadvertent actions had caused and could not foresee the ripples this incident would create throughout the Lv Hu Group Jiangnan Branch and even the headquarters.
Instead, he was keenly observing Su Yuxin.
“Divine Doctor Ye, what’s wrong?”
Feeling Ye Fan’s intense gaze, Su Yuxin for some reason felt a bit nervous.
Amidst her nervousness, her icy expression melted away; instead, she seemed sheepish, as if caught doing something wrong, and she didn’t dare meet Ye Fan’s eyes.
“I’ve heard you were described by the Jiangnan Business World as the Cold-faced President, and I was somewhat puzzled before.
But seeing you today, I believe it,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
“If I hadn’t seen another side of you, perhaps I would have been deceived by your outward appearance too.”
“It’s a necessary act; you flatter me, Divine Doctor Ye.”
At his words, Su Yuxin laughed self-deprecatingly, her smile tinged with bitterness.
Being young and a woman, she had to adopt such a facade.
Even with Su Hongyuan’s backing, she wouldn’t be able to assert control over the seasoned executives of the company.
As the person wielding authority over the company, failing to command respect from subordinates would be a major dereliction of duty!
“How could it be flattery?
If anything, it’s admiration,” Ye Fan seemed to understand Su Yuxin’s bitter smile and consoled her.
“If I were in your shoes, I definitely couldn’t have done it any better.”
“Doctor Ye had such incredible skills, doing these menial tasks was beneath him,” said Su Yuxin with a wry smile.
She then remembered that Ye Fan was going to be her assistant, and immediately felt awkward.
“We all have our specialties.
If you put me in charge of business, it would definitely be a case of a fool and his money are soon parted,” Ye Fan joked, laughing.
“Pfft—”
At his words, Su Yuxin burst into laughter, beautiful as a blooming lily, utterly captivating.
A moment later, the elevator stopped on the twentieth floor, and with a ding-dong, the doors slowly opened.
Su Yuxin stepped out first, leading the way to the office with Ye Fan following.
At the office entrance, a young girl dressed in a white blouse and black skirt seemed to have been waiting for Su Yuxin for a long time.
She hurried forward as soon as she saw Su walk out of the elevator, but stopped abruptly when she saw Ye Fan behind her.
She stood there, stunned, as if she had seen something unbelievable, her gaze fixed on Ye Fan, her mind overwhelmed by a single thought: Who is this man?
“Mr.
Su!”
Without an answer, the young girl quickly recovered from her shock and hastened to greet Su Yuxin and Ye Fan, bowing politely to Su Yuxin.
“Assistant Yang, this is Mr.
Ye Fan.
From now on, he will assist me in my work alongside you.
You will share an office.”
Seeing that the young girl regained her composure quickly, Su Yuxin did not find fault but spoke in a firm tone, “Assistant Ye doesn’t need to report to the general department.
Inform them immediately to equip him with the necessary office facilities.”
“Yes, Mr.
Su!”
The girl, named Yang Miaomiao, turned slightly pale but dared not ask more and quickly left to carry out the order.
“Divine Doctor, I had originally planned to arrange a separate office for you, but since there are no vacant offices on this floor, I’m afraid you’ll have to inconvenience yourself by sharing one with Assistant Yang.
Entering the president’s office, Su Yuxin looked at Ye Fan apologetically.
She had wanted to arrange for Ye Fan to use her own office, but to avoid stirring up rumors, she had to give up the plan.
It wasn’t that she feared the gossip, but she worried that Ye Fan might be affected by it.
“Having another person is good; it will keep me from getting bored,” Ye Fan said indifferently with a smile, treating his job here as merely a cover, naturally unbothered by these arrangements.
Seeing that Ye Fan didn’t mind, Su Yuxin was relieved and took the initiative to pour him a glass of hot water, saying, “Divine Doctor, please have a seat while I review the materials for today’s meeting.”
Ye Fan took the cup, nodded, and casually glanced around Su Yuxin’s office.
Like many top executives’ offices, Su Yuxin’s office was spacious, with a curved desk that looked quite impressive.
Behind the desk was a large floor-to-ceiling window, which provided a commanding view of the city below.
To the north was a door leading to a small bedroom for Su Yuxin to rest in.
To the south, rows of neatly arranged bookshelves filled with books, many of which showed signs of frequent use.
Noticing this detail, Ye Fan deeply understood that Su Yuxin’s success in earning Su Hongyuan’s trust and creating current miracles was no accident but closely linked to her hard work.
While Ye Fan examined Su Yuxin’s office, a bombshell news spread throughout the Lv Hu Group Jiangnan Branch—Su Yuxin had brought a man back to the company, and had let this man use her private elevator!
Almost every employee in the company wanted to know who the man, who rode the executive elevator with Su Yuxin, was.
Some acted on their curiosity.
“Minister Wu, who was the man with Mr.
Su today?” a middle manager close to the head of the general department, Wu Wanyong, couldn’t contain his curiosity and called to inquire.
Wu Wanyong, equally curious, chuckled and said, “Old Zhou, I don’t know either.”
“Could it be Mr.
Su’s boyfriend or fiancé?” Minister Zhou’s curiosity was ablaze.
Since he had a good relationship with Minister Wu, he did not bother to hide it.
“Old Zhou, you know Mr.
Su.
Better not talk about it.
If someone overhears you and tells Mr.
Su, you could be in serious trouble!” Wu Wanyong warned.
“I know that, I’m just saying it to you,” Minister Zhou said with a laugh, adding, “Alright then, keep me posted if you hear anything.”
Wu Wanyong acknowledged and then hung up the phone.
“Ding-a-ling—”
The phone rang again.
Assuming it was another inquiry, Wu Wanyong was a bit irritated, but he answered immediately when he saw the number: “Hello, Assistant Yang.”
“Hello, Minister Wu.”
Over the phone, Yang Miaomiao, with a complex expression, said, “Mr.
Su instructed me to notify you that she has hired an assistant, named Ye Fan, who will be working with me to assist her.
She also said that Assistant Ye won’t be reporting to you directly, but someone will send his file to you later.
She has also instructed someone to prepare office equipment for Assistant Ye—he and I will share an office.”
“Alright.”
Wu Wanyong promptly agreed, showing no displeasure.
In his view, anyone who could ride the executive elevator with Su Yuxin and yet still report to him would indeed be odd!
“That guy named Ye Fan definitely isn’t just an assistant,” he thought, and immediately followed Su Yuxin’s instructions, calling someone to prepare office equipment for Ye Fan.
Soon, the news that Ye Fan had become Su Yuxin’s assistant spread throughout the entire Lv Hu Group Jiangnan Branch and even reached the headquarters, causing a stir!
At the same time, the news spread rapidly through the Jiangnan real estate industry…
