C93 (2/2)
As long as he had the help of Mother Fu, this matter would be much easier to deal with.
When he received his mother's call, he had just finished his meeting.
”Are you all right?” He hadn't been home since the last time he'd spoken to his mother, and he hadn't called.
”He's not dead yet.” Mother Fu snappily said, ”Are you not going to recognize me as your mother if I don't call you?”
”I didn't mean that …”
”Then promise me one thing. Let Aster go into Anten's scheme.”
”She went to see you?”
”Don't worry about that for now, just tell me if you agree or not. ”It doesn't matter if you don't agree. At worst, I'll just do everything I can to make Qiao Anxiao unable to stay here.”
”…”
The man's gaze darkened and he remained silent.
”I'll give you two choices. Either you keep both of them, or you don't need either of them!”
Fu Siming pinched the center of his brows, lifting his lips and saying, ”I agree.”
”We can't let her down. After all, she is a top student from abroad, and also a daughter of the Lu Corporation …”
”Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.”
Qiao Anyun would never have thought that when he went to the company on Monday, he would see Aster Lu there!
”Long time no see, Madam Fu.” Aster smiled and greeted him.
”Just call me Qiao Anxian. In the company, I am just an ordinary employee, not Madam Fu … But, why is Miss Lu here? ”
”It seems like you don't know yet.” Lu Yuchi paused, ”From today onwards, I will officially become the new director of the design department.”
New Director?!
Qiao Yifan was completely stupefied … Did that mean that from now on, Aster would be her rival and her superior? No, he was the superior! Isn't this too outrageous?
Did Fu Siming know about this? Did he agree?
Qiao Anxiao could not help but let his imagination run wild … Even when she returned to the office, she was still in a daze.
Seeing Wang Chao, she could not help but ask, ”Sister Guang, what's going on? Why did the director suddenly change? Then where's our previous director? ”
Wang Chao shook his head. ”I'm not sure either. I only heard that the original director has been transferred to headquarters.”
Joanna said, ”Oh,” so it's like that … Sigh, I don't know if I'll ever have a good life in the company again.
As expected, in the next few days, her workload doubled, and she received almost all of the miscellaneous tasks that were thrown to her.
The company recently took over a large order and the designers were very busy. There were also a lot of trivial matters. Qiao Anxiao had to work late every day. When he got home, he was so tired that he fell asleep immediately.
This went on for about a week. Joe thought that Lu Zhi would soon cease to exist. He didn't expect that someone would become even more powerful.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she went to the Prefect's office to look for Aster.
”Director, if you give me so much work, I think it's completely out of my capacity. I hope you will reconsider the workload arrangement. ”
”I know you have a lot of work to do, but recently everyone in the design department has a lot of work to do, so designers don't have time to rest. Right now, you're the only person in the entire design department who isn't involved in the design work, so I can only assign all the logistics work to you. ”
There was nothing wrong with what Aster had said, and he had no idea how to refute her.
That's right, she was the only idler in the entire design department. Of course, it was she who ran errands for her all day, so she couldn't be blamed on others for bullying her.
When they got home, Joanna couldn't help but complain to Fu Siming.
She had originally thought that she could persevere on and didn't want him to interfere in this matter, but … He couldn't keep dragging it out like this.
”What's wrong?”
He was in his study, reading a file, when he saw Joanna come in, looking crestfallen.
”Is it a job problem?”
”I don't understand why the company wouldn't let me participate in the design...” ”In that case, I'll have to let Aster arrange a bunch of random things for me. I'm going crazy because of her!”
”Aster?” Fu Siming's eyes narrowed.
”Stop pretending. She is the director of the company's design department. It's probably your idea. ”You're happy, but I can only let them order me around. After all, she's my superior now, and I'm the only one in the entire design department who has nothing to do.”
After Qiao Yifan finished speaking, he pretended to be wronged and let out a long sigh. How could he be so unlucky?
Hearing her words, Fu Siming found himself in a difficult position.
If she was not allowed to participate in the design, then her messy state would definitely continue forever. But if he let her get back into the design, he was afraid it would remind her of the past.
”What are you thinking?” Qiao Anxian waved his hand in front of him and asked.
Fu Siming came back to his senses. He only looked at her, but didn't say anything.
”Look …” ”For example, the company has another project this time, which is a church design that I'm especially interested in. All the members of the design department, including the new intern assistant, can participate in the design. As a designer, although I'm an intern, I can only watch them do it but not participate in it.”
Qiao Anxiao slowly walked towards the man with small steps. He tugged on the man's sleeve and muttered in a rather pitiful and coquettish manner, ”Can you tell the design department that I should continue my work in the field of design?”
