Chapter 36: The Domineering Jiang Sui

Zhao Youling was happy as long as everyone didn't ostracize her for being a newcomer.

Design director—a position she never even dared to dream of.

Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhao Youling and said, "The rules were set beforehand to give everyone a fair chance to compete. Our Zhan Group is open to all kinds of people; anyone with talent can rise to the top. The position of design director is one you earned through your own abilities, so there's no need for modesty. Besides, you are someone I value, and I trust my judgment."

Zhao Youling was still hesitant when Jiang Qianhui walked to her side and whispered, "I told your fortune before, do you remember? You will definitely become the top jewelry designer in the country within three years. The position of design director is also to let people say that I have a keen eye for talent and unique vision."

Jiang Qianhui spoke gently, her smile very approachable.

The design department staff looked at each other in bewilderment. After all, Jiang Qianhui was not well-regarded by Zhan's employees, who called her a female demon and a capitalist who exploited people.

However, I now feel that she is not like the legends say.

Jiang Qianhui's smile froze the moment she saw Zhan Yanxun pushing Qiao Weiwei, who was in a wheelchair, in.

They are coming.

She suppressed the darkness in her eyes and asked casually, "Qiao Weiwei, what's wrong?"

"President Jiang, I was hit by a car last night. Luckily, President Zhan was there, otherwise I would have been lying on the deserted road all night."

Jiang Qianhui raised an eyebrow and said, "You make it sound like Country A doesn't have Uncle Hat. You might not know how to call an ambulance, but you should at least remember the police number."

“President Jiang, you’re right. I shouldn’t have troubled President Zhan. But the situation was too critical at the time, and President Zhan was the only person I could think of. Please don’t misunderstand.”

"Misunderstanding? What do you want me to misunderstand?"

Jiang Qianhui asked Qiao Weiwei a question in return, and Qiao Weiwei was speechless for a moment.

The other designers whispered among themselves.

Zhan Yanxun said with a hint of anger in his voice, "She was in a car accident, you shouldn't treat her like this. You're her boss, you should show concern for your subordinates."

He actually wants her to care about him?

Jiang Qianhui scoffed, "Concern? President Zhan has already done more than enough. Husband and wife are one, if you've done it, I don't need to do anything more. But, since you were in a car accident, why aren't you resting in the hospital? What are you doing at the company?"

Qiao Weiwei: "Today we're announcing the design director. I know I'm not in a position to say this, but I still want to."

Jiang Qianhui looked down at her and said, "Since you know you're not qualified, then shut up."

Qiao Weiwei was seething with hatred, but she said pitifully, "President Jiang, you won't even listen to a word I say. It seems that removing my work is not just to give an explanation to the client, but because you're too lazy to listen to my explanation."

Qiao Wei lowered her eyes with a wronged look, just like someone who had been suppressed and bullied.

Zhan Yanxun's eyes were deep, and his thin lips moved slightly.

"In the Zhan family, one cannot handle matters with personal emotions. Those in high positions should be even more considerate of their subordinates."

Jiang Qianhui pursed her red lips slightly, and beneath her feather-like curled eyelashes, her watery eyes were completely devoid of warmth.

She suddenly smiled and said, "President Zhan, you're right. Then let's hear how Designer Qiao is going to fight for the director position. Designer Qiao, if you don't have the qualifications, you should at least have the ability. If you have neither, and you just want to rely on the president's favor to get whatever you want, do you think you're a lighter?"

After Jiang Qianhui finished speaking, some people couldn't help but chuckle.

Qiao Weiwei was even more furious.

"President Jiang, I know President Zhan appreciates me, but I dare not aspire to the position of design director. I only hope that the design director is a person with both virtue and talent, and with qualifications, so that he can be respected and accepted by everyone."

That's such a hypocritical statement. Now you think a newcomer as design director can't win people's approval?

In her previous life, when she became the design director, she was incredibly powerful and influential.

Every day, they hold meetings with the other designers. The people in the design department don't know if they're there to design works or just to make up the numbers and satisfy Qiao Weiwei's vanity.

"Designer Qiao, who do you mean to recommend as design director?"

Qiao Weiwei looked directly at Jiang Qianhui and said with righteous indignation, "President Jiang, I recommend Sister Ellie. Sister Ellie is exceptionally capable and has the most seniority in the company. Only she can be convincing as the design director."

The "Sister Ellie" that Qiao Weiwei mentioned is also from the design department. She overheard Qiao Weiwei talking to someone in the break room, and that person was Sister Ellie. Now, she's trying to get someone from her group to be the design director—she's dreaming!

Jiang Qianhui's gaze turned slightly cold as she looked at Qiao Weiwei meaningfully. She calmly said, "Designer Qiao, your suggestion is good, but I don't accept it!"

Qiao Weiwei was taken aback. She hadn't expected Zhan Yanxun to be here, yet she still dared to be so arrogant.

Jiang Qianhui looked at Zhan Yanxun and said with a slightly raised voice, "President Zhan, do you agree to let Hong Aili be the design director?"

"He has the qualifications, but lacks the ability, so he is not a suitable candidate."

Zhan Yanxun's gaze was intense, and his voice was deep.

"As expected, President Zhan is not a blind man. Designer Qiao, you can now go back to the hospital to recuperate. I hereby announce that the new design director is Zhao Youling. Anyone who is dissatisfied can go back and digest this properly."

Zhan Yanxun's eyes turned icy cold as he said in a chilling voice, "Now, personnel appointments are decided directly by you, the CFO, without going through the CEO?"

"President Zhan, have you forgotten our agreement? Whoever stands out at this press conference will be the design director. President Zhan, it would be a breach of the rules if the person you value didn't win."

“Your involvement in Zhao Youling’s designs means they cannot be considered her independent work. It is not appropriate for her to be the design director.”

"President Zhan, who do you think is suitable?"

Before Zhan Yanxun could speak, Jiang Qianhui said coldly, "An international jewelry competition, held every three years, is coming up soon. If Director Zhao Youling cannot lead our group's designers to win the championship, I will resign, not only for her position as director."

In this life, he still wants Qiao Weiwei to be the design director? Does she even deserve it?

Jiang Qianhui's words directly challenged Zhan Yanxun, aiming to shock the entire audience.

"Mr. Jiang, you're not talking about the Aurora Awards, the Oscars of the jewelry industry, are you?"

"The Aurora competition is the most prestigious competition in the jewelry industry. The champions are basically monopolized by the top luxury jewelry groups in the United States, and the United States has never even placed in the top three."

"Mr. Jiang, this bet is a bit too much. After all, I've never seen anyone bet on something that's guaranteed to lose."

"President Jiang, is this a fight?"

Zhan Yanxun's face was very ugly. At this moment, everyone's heart was in their throat.
