Chapter 740 The Unexpected New Design Director (1/2)
After the wedding, Emily enjoyed a long break at home for a few months, settling into married life. She missed the busy and fulfilling days at the office though, and longed to return to work.
As Emily wouldn't return to Lu Jewelry, she followed Jacob's advice and decided to move to SL Jewelry group, which belonged to the Bai Company.
”Did you hear the big news? Head office will be sending a new design director to us. And I heard that the new director is a woman,” a staff member whispered to her partner.
The news soon spread throughout the SL Jewelry building. Staff gossiped with each other, discussing the internal memo released last night by the company. The document concerned the new design director.
”I heard that the new design director is a real big shot. Our group president made an emergency call to his secretary last night and ordered him to publish the notice immediately,” a man gossiped. His juicy news attracted another three people to join in the conversation.
”Alas! The new design director must be someone important or well connected. Our company must be paying a great deal of money to hire her. I am so curious about her!” another man said excitedly.

All of them turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and then widened their eyes in shock.
The speaker was standing right in front of them now. Her short, sassy hair and the well tailored suit which she wore made her look capable and professional. But her cold face and sharp eyes indicated her tough nature, and hinted that she was not easy to get along with.
”Di...director Huang, good morning!” they nervously chorused. They stiffly smiled at her and their voices trembled slightly with anxiety and fear.
Vivian Huang raised her wrist to check her watch and pointed at the watch screen with her other hand's index finger. ”You have been chatting for exactly five minutes! These five minutes are long enough for me to make a cup of coffee, and review a design draft. It seems that all of you have too much free time now. But hear this! Time is precious to me, and I don't allow my staff to talk nonsense during work hours! That is a waste of my time. Understand?” Vivian raised her voice and looked at them angrily.
