Chapter 9 : The New Design Director

• Ten minutes later.
• In the spacious conference room, the rectangular oval-shaped conference table was filled with people. Ji You sat in her assigned seat and scanned the room.
• Suddenly, with steady footsteps approaching, all the senior leaders held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
• Ji You turned her head in confusion and saw that the man walking in was none other than Huo Ciyi.
• Could it be...
• At the thought, her eyes darkened.
• As she watched the man gradually walk towards the main seat, take a seat, and cross his legs, his ink-black eyes swept over everyone like ice, finally lingering on Ji You for a long time before retracting.
• At this moment, her heart was in turmoil, and she tried her best to calm herself down. She had accidentally spilled coffee on him earlier, and now this man was indeed her immediate superior?
• She took a deep breath and struggled to maintain a calm expression on her face.
• "I believe everyone already knows that we have a new design director, Ji You." Huo Ciyi's expression was cold as he spoke, not forgetting to glance in her direction. In his calm eyes, a hint of darkness flashed.
• For some reason, she seemed to see a faint curve at the corner of Huo Ciyi's lips.
• "Ji You, stand up and say a few words to everyone." Huo Ciyi said, with a scrutinizing gaze, wanting to see how she would handle the situation.
• He really wanted to savor her sharp-tongued demeanor again.
• Now she had no choice but to stand up.
• She stood up, a gentle smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, suppressing the impulse in her heart, and said to everyone present, "Hello, everyone. I am Ji You, the newly appointed design director. I hope that we can work together and do well in our work."
• As she finished speaking, she maintained her smile for a moment before sitting back down.
• Just as she sat down, she heard a woman across from her ask, "Director Ji, now you are my superior. I wonder what your first step will be? Will you take a long time to familiarize yourself with the work environment before starting?"
• Since earlier, Ji You had noticed that this woman had been staring at her.
• She looked back and saw the woman's calm face, but her eyes were filled with a fierce determination to not let her off the hook.
• "I adapt quickly and can work while getting used to the new environment." Ji You calmly looked at the woman in front of her, a smile still hanging on her lips, not letting go of the resentment in the woman's eyes.
• Did she offend this woman when she first arrived?
• "It seems Director Ji is very confident. We'll wait and see." A faint smile curved at the corner of Huo Ciyi's lips as he began the main content of today's meeting.
• The meeting lasted for a full forty minutes, and the assistant on the side was almost exhausted. The people in the room dared not even breathe, not knowing what was going on, but they vaguely felt that their boss was in a bad mood today!
• As soon as the meeting ended, Huo Ciyi stood up, glanced coldly at Ji You, and said, "Come to my office."
• With that, he took long strides and quickly left the conference room.
• Ji You hesitated for a moment, quickly organized her notes, and was about to leave when Su Yun blocked her way.
• "You even took notes, so serious? As a newly appointed director, who knows if you have any real skills or if you just used connections to get in?" Su Yun sneered, glancing disdainfully at the notebooks in Ji You's arms.
• Isn't it just to please Huo Ciyi? She had seen this kind of tactic many times.
• Suddenly, another colleague rushed over and supported Su Yun's words, "Su Yun, I think she really doesn't have any skills. This director position was originally yours, but it was taken by this woman. Don't worry, we won't acknowledge her as our superior."
• Now Ji You understood why this woman resented her. It turned out she had taken her position as director.
• She smiled calmly and indifferently, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly raised. "Whether I have any skills or not, you can wait and see. Also..."
• She paused and looked at the woman next to Su Yun. "As for what you just said about not acknowledging me as your superior, that is not up to you. Those who refuse to follow orders will be dealt with according to the company's rules and regulations."
• Her tone was firm and cold, without a trace of fear.
• "You!" The woman was so angry that her eyes were about to pop out.
