As everyone else looked on enviously, Lin Chen laughed, "Old Qiao, forget about the manager position, I'll stay as the deputy manager."

As he spoke, Lin Chen glanced at Ai Ying, who was currently the manager of the company's sales department.

If it had been someone else offering, Lin Chen might not have refused, but without Ai Ying, he couldn't have joined the company so easily.

He couldn't just come in and snatch someone else's job.

"Deputy manager?" Qiao Shan was taken aback.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "I've just joined the company, and there's still a lot of business I need to get familiar with. I should let General Manager Ai guide me."

"Alright, that makes sense. You'll start as a deputy manager then, but the president's position will be yours sooner or later," Qiao Shan laughed.

Hearing Qiao Shan's words, everyone was once again dumbfounded.

It seemed the old man planned to groom Lin Chen to become the president.

At this moment, Qiao Yong and Qiao Tai's faces turned pale; Qiao Shan's move was clearly pushing them out of the company.

Meanwhile, Ai Ying, dressed in professional attire, gazed at Lin Chen.

Ai Ying naturally understood why Lin Chen chose to step down to deputy manager.

Honestly, she had worked hard for her position, and if she really had to give it up, it would definitely upset her.

As such, Ai Ying felt a burst of gratitude toward Lin Chen.

At that moment, Lin Chen also glanced at Ai Ying, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Ai Ying blushed instantly and quickly averted her gaze.

The meeting concluded, and Qiao Shan retired from the company, his mission accomplished.

In the chairman's office, Qiao Xue eyed Lin Chen: "Why do you want to go to the sales department?"

Lin Chen smiled softly: "As your husband, I want to help you develop the company quickly, and the sales department is the core of a company, which is why I chose it."

Qiao Xue blinked her beautiful eyes: "Stop fooling me, you must have some agenda."

"My dear wife, it's your turf, how could I dare to have an agenda?" Lin Chen laughed awkwardly.

Qiao Xue snorted coldly: "You better know it, and don't call me 'wife' in the company."

"No problem, can I call you Little Xue?" Lin Chen chuckled.

"No, only call me Chairman Qiao," Qiao Xue said coldly.

"Alright, darling! Oops, I mean Chairman Qiao," Lin Chen laughed mischievously.

Qiao Xue glared at Lin Chen and continued: "Also, you don't have any privileges in this company. If your performance isn't good, you'll be demoted. If you mess around, I'll fire you, regardless of whether Grandpa agrees. Got it?"

"Don't worry, you won't have that chance," Lin Chen smiled confidently.

"Fine, now go report to Ai Ying," Qiao Xue sighed in relief.

"Okay, by the way, what do you want for dinner?" Lin Chen asked, turning back after walking a few steps.

"I'd like to have the sweet and sour ribs from yesterday," Qiao Xue replied casually.

"No problem, your darling husband will make it for you tonight," Lin Chen said smugly as he left the office.

Qiao Xue only then realized he was teasing her, and she stomped her foot in anger.

After leaving Qiao Xue's office, Lin Chen first went to the secretary's office.

Seeing Lin Chen, the ladies in the secretary's office involuntarily stood up.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Their attitude was a stark contrast to the day before.

Now everyone in the company knew Lin Chen was engaged to Chairman Qiao and was the future president, hence their change in attitude.

Thinking about how they mocked Lin Chen the day before, they were full of regret.

Observing their opportunistic looks, Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Carry on with your work, by the way, Qingqing, would you like to be my personal secretary?"

Mu Qingqing was stunned by Lin Chen's words.

The others were even more envious. The president's secretary position was very demanding, often requiring overtime.

But a deputy general manager's secretary was different, the work was leisurely and stable, especially being chosen by Lin Chen to be his close personal secretary. It meant being the future president's trusted aide.

These people were smart; Lin Chen chose Mu Qingqing because she was the one who was willing to help him find a seat that day in the office.

At that moment, regret flashed in the eyes of the beautiful women. If they had known, they would have scrambled to help Lin Chen that day.

Mu Qingqing's face lit up with joy, and she nodded: "I would like to."

Lin Chen smiled: "Great, I'll go talk to Chairman Qiao."

Qiao Xue didn't say much about Lin Chen's request, as even a deputy general manager had the right to choose a secretary.

Watching Mu Qingqing leave with Lin Chen, the secretary's office was full of wails.

"Oh my God, I was so blind to not recognize a gold mine."

"Qingqing really hit the jackpot with dog poop luck, snagging this big opportunity."

In truth, Lin Chen wasn't interested in Qingqing's work ability, but her kindness.

Someone who is kind to strangers certainly has a good heart, something the others lacked.

Lin Chen settled Mu Qingqing in, then headed to Ai Ying's office.

Seeing Lin Chen, Ai Ying smiled: "General Manager Lin, I didn't expect you'd get promoted so quickly."

Lin Chen laughed awkwardly: "Just lucky, I guess?"

"Tch, just don't let me down, and thanks for not taking my job today," Ai Ying said, looking at Lin Chen.

"Haha, how about a thank-you kiss?" Lin Chen teased.

"Rascal, I'll tell Chairman Qiao," Ai Ying glared at Lin Chen.

"You wouldn't," Lin Chen looked smug, clearly having Ai Ying figured out.

"Hmph, follow me, I'll introduce you to the sales department," Ai Ying snorted and led Lin Chen towards the sales department office.

Following Ai Ying, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel dizzy watching her swaying hips.

Her curvy figure was enchanting, especially given their close proximity, with a fragrant orchid scent wafting over.

In front, Ai Ying suddenly stopped, her female intuition kicking in. She turned abruptly, coldly smiling at Lin Chen's dazed eyes: "Had enough of staring?"

"You can never get enough of a beauty," Lin Chen replied in a captivated manner.

Looking at Lin Chen's rogueish demeanor, Ai Ying wished she could beat him up.

"Lin Chen, don't forget you're the chairman's fiancé. Behave yourself in the company," Ai Ying reminded him.

"I know, but it's not illegal to admire beautiful women. There's no law in China against it, right?" Lin Chen chuckled.

Ai Ying was momentarily speechless, fuming as she walked into the sales department office.

To Lin Chen's surprise, the sales department was also a kingdom of beauties, even more attractive than the secretary's office.

These women were all dressed sharply in elegant suits, each with her unique charm. Their long, slender legs were particularly eye-catching to Lin Chen.

At this moment, the staff in the sales department were all eyeing Lin Chen. The news that the chairman suddenly had a fiancé, who also became the deputy manager of the sales department, spread throughout the company.

No need to ask, the man in front of them was the legendary male protagonist.
