CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings

Soon, Ye Chen arrived. He walked into the meeting room and said to Lin Xi with a smile, "Boss Lin, I feel full of hope today." Lin Xi also smiled and replied, "Yes, I hope Lu Ran can give us a surprise."

Lu Ran appeared at the door of the conference room on time. He knocked gently, walked in after getting permission, and said apologetically: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Ye, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Lin Xi waved her hand quickly: "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. We just arrived a short time ago. Please take a seat."

After Lu Ran sat down, Lin Xi spoke first: "Mr. Lu, I invited you here today because I want to have a more in-depth exchange. You also know the current situation of our company. Do you have any preliminary ideas about our business?"

Lu Ran replied calmly: "Boss Lin, I did some research before I came here. Your company has a solid foundation in traditional business, but now it faces the challenge of transformation. I think we can start by optimizing business processes, just like dredging a river, to make each link smoother and more efficient."

Ye Chen nodded in agreement: "Lu Ran's idea is very practical. Process optimization can indeed solve many current problems."

Lin Xi's eyes lit up: "What do you think about developing new customers? We can't always rely on old customers."

Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "In terms of expanding new customers, we should be like a fisherman casting a net. While casting a wide net, we should also accurately locate the target customer group. We can use big data analysis to understand the needs and preferences of potential customers, and then formulate targeted marketing strategies."

Lin Xi showed a satisfied expression: "This is a good direction. What do you think about internal management? We hope to improve the work efficiency and enthusiasm of our employees."

Lu Ran leaned forward slightly: "As for internal management, I think we need to establish a more complete performance appraisal system with clear rewards and punishments, just like driving a car requires reins and a whip, so that employees can be motivated to work actively. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the career development planning of employees, give them a clear path for advancement, and let them see their future in the company."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Lu Ran is indeed experienced in management."

Lin Xi also smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, these ideas of yours are very constructive. If you join our company, how do you plan to coordinate and cooperate with various departments? After all, we are a team, and collaboration between departments is very important."

Lu Ran answered confidently: "Mr. Lin, if I am lucky enough to join, I will take the initiative to communicate with the heads of various departments to understand their work content and difficulties. I will be like a bridge, connecting various departments, promoting information sharing and resource integration, and ensuring that the work of each department can move towards the overall goal of the company."

Lin Xi and Ye Chen looked at each other, and both saw recognition in each other's eyes. Lin Xi finally said: "Mr. Lu, today's communication is very pleasant. You have provided us with many valuable ideas. We will seriously consider your joining our company, and hope that we can have further cooperation."

Lu Ran stood up and said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, Mr. Ye, I am also looking forward to having such an opportunity."

After a series of interviews and assessments, he successfully signed a contract with Xingyao Co., Ltd. and was appointed as the workshop production supervisor. This position is both a challenge and an opportunity for him. He knows that he has important responsibilities, but he is also confident that he can do the job.

After Lu Ran left the office, Lin Xi sat behind her desk, tapping unconsciously on a document with her pen. Hearing the noise coming from the door, she raised her head with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Ye Chen, I heard that you are going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, Sagrasha?"

Ye Chen put his hands in his pockets and walked in with steady steps. After hearing Lin Xi's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a cold look in his eyes. He stood still, leaning back slightly, as if to distance himself from Lin Xi, and responded in a cold tone: "So what? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." After that, he looked at Lin Xi sharply, as if his eyes wanted to penetrate her.

Lin Xi pursed her lips, clasped her hands together unconsciously, and said with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "I have a project and need to go there to investigate. Why don't we go the same way?"

Ye Chen sneered when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xi with his arms folded across his chest. Lin Xi's eyes were full of mockery. He raised his mouth with a mocking arc and said, "Oh, going the same way?" Then, he raised his voice and said with a mocking tone, "I, Ye Chen, always go alone on business trips, and I don't need to travel with anyone."

Lin Xi frowned, a hint of hurt flashed in her eyes, but she soon became firm again. She stood up, walked to Ye Chen, looked up at him, and said with a hint of stubbornness in her voice: "We are partners at work and friends in private, why can't you take me with you?"

Ye Chen's expression was as cold as an iceberg that could not be melted. He took a small step back, distanced himself from Lin Xi, and said stiffly, "Friends? I, Ye Chen, don't have many friends." After that, he glanced at Lin Xi, his eyes as sharp as a sword, "It's totally fine for you to go on this project by yourself."

Lin Xi bit her lower lip hard, as if she wanted to bite it through. Her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, as if she wanted to crush them. Her eyes were full of persistence and determination, staring straight at Ye Chen, tears flashing in her eyes, and her voice trembling slightly: "But I want to hear your opinion!"

Ye Chen frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure. His face turned gloomy, and his tone was filled with obvious impatience, "My opinion? Just do your own thing, don't always focus on me." After saying that, he scratched his hair irritably, then put his hands in his pockets again, turned around and stopped looking at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, as if trying to control her inner tension. Her eyes were firm and focused, looking straight into Ye Chen's deep eyes, and she asked softly: "You... still can't forget her?"

Ye Chen's eyes instantly became sharp, like a sharp sword, piercing the tranquility around him. His body was slightly tense, emitting a cold breath that made people shudder. His voice was low and magnetic, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty and warning: "What does this have to do with you? Do your job well and don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

This sentence hit Lin Xi's heart like a heavy hammer. Her face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled slightly, but she still looked at Ye Chen stubbornly, tears flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "I just care about you..."

Ye Chen looked at Lin Xi calmly, his eyes revealing a hint of indifference and indifference. He slowly said, "I don't need your concern." These words were like a cold wind, blowing mercilessly through Lin Xi's heart, making her feel a pain.

Lin Xi's eyes were slightly red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall. She took a small step forward, almost face to face with Ye Chen, and pleaded in her voice: "Okay, let's put these aside for now, Sagrasha, take me with you, okay?"

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Xi coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger. He said without any emotion, "I said, I'm not used to traveling with others." After that, he put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.

Lin Xi looked at Ye Chen's back and shouted, "Ye Chen, what kind of girls do you like?"

Ye Chen paused, his body trembled slightly, but he did not turn back. His voice was as cold as the winter wind, "This is not something you should care about," he turned his back to Lin Xi and continued indifferently, "Focus on your work and don't think about these useless things."

Lin Xi seemed to have lost all her strength, and said in a trembling voice: "Since your girlfriend Xiaolan passed away, you don't plan to find another one?"

When Ye Chen heard the name, his body stiffened slightly and he was silent for a moment. The office was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. After a while, he said in a low voice: "It's not your turn to interfere in my private affairs." After that, he slowly turned around and stared at Lin Xi with eyes like a hawk, with suppressed anger and deep pain in his eyes.

Lin Xi's tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried not to let them fall. She lowered her head and whispered, "Can't you see that I like you?"

Ye Chen's face remained calm when he heard this, and he looked at Lin Xi coldly. He seemed to be stating a fact, and said in a cold tone without any emotion: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, and I won't change because of it."

Lin Xi smiled bitterly, wiped her eyes with her hands, and tried to make herself look calmer. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, in that case, I have an appointment with a friend to discuss a project. See you later."

Ye Chen nodded expressionlessly and said in a cold tone, "Well, okay." He adjusted his cuffs and didn't even look at Lin Xi, as if she didn't exist, and then added, "I hope your project goes well."

Lin Xi forced a smile and said softly, "Thank you."

Ye Chen didn't even raise his head. He sorted out the documents in his hand and said indifferently: "No need, it's just a polite remark." There was no emotion in his tone, "I don't take it to heart."

Lin Xi nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the door. Her steps were a little heavy, and every step seemed to use up all her strength.

When she reached the door, she paused and said softly, "Okay, I'll go up first, you can do whatever you want."

Ye Chen nodded expressionlessly, his tone cold and distant: "Well, take care." After that, he lowered his head and continued to deal with the matters in his hands without looking at Lin Xi again. At this time, Lin Xi seemed to be just an insignificant passerby in his eyes.

Lin Xi gritted her teeth, opened the door and walked out. The door closed gently behind her, making a slight "click" sound, as if it was the last sigh of this depressing conversation.
