No one believes him

  Su Ye's course arrangement is very specific, and the target group has also been subdivided. New employees who have just joined the company, old employees who have worked for more than two years, team leaders, middle-level leaders, high-level leaders. Today she faces some old employees.

  The characteristics of old employees are that they are proficient in business experience, have rich resources such as connections and customers, and are familiar with corporate culture. However, the disadvantages are also fatal, such as being too smooth in handling things, not taking initiative, relying on seniority to suppress new employees, etc.

  As a psychological counselor, Su Ye first needs to understand their basic situation, which is not difficult, just need to set up some simple psychological games. However, it seems that these old employees have also heard about Liang Xuan's affairs, so they are all very respectful to her, making communication even easier.

  In less than twenty minutes, she had become one with the employees. Of course, this didn't involve overly professional issues and she didn't put on a professional psychological counselor's demeanor when talking to them. In China's northern cities, people are relatively resistant to mental health issues, unlike in Shanghai or Hong Kong. In Beijing, persuading someone to see a psychologist is equivalent to saying that person has mental problems.

  Su Ye first tried to let them relax their vigilance, mainly by chatting with them.

  That's why, when Bo Yan silently walked into the conference room that year, what he saw was this: Su Ye, a professional psychological consultant, was sitting cross-legged on the conference table. Those old employees were also sitting on the floor, laughing and chatting with her in a group. The chairs that were originally neatly arranged beside the conference table were scattered all over the floor, and when he came in, there was almost no place to sit.

  Nian Baiyan furrowed his brow but still patiently continued reading.

  Perhaps this group of people was too excited, and no one saw Yan Baiyan. The laughter covered everything, only Su Ye, when she inadvertently turned her head, saw his figure.

  Far away, sitting there, the lines between his eyebrows and nose bridge looked so solemn.

  She didn't take the initiative to come forward, nor did she greet him. She turned around and threw herself back into the laughter and chatter. Yan Baiyi watched for about five or six minutes before leaving, without startling anyone, just as quietly as when he arrived.

  The training session didn't end until midnight, and the employees flocked to the staff canteen with Su Ye. Everyone started chatting freely. The so-called staff canteen was actually a self-service restaurant, neatly divided into seafood area, Chinese food area, Western food area, Japanese and Korean food area, Southeast Asian cuisine area, fruit and dessert area after meals. The area was incredibly large, but there was no noise inside.

  Because Su Ye was suddenly called to the restaurant, she didn't have time to go through the administrative procedures, so she didn't have an employee card or any other office supplies. As a result, she couldn't dine in the restaurant, but the staff were enthusiastic and without saying a word, they swiped their own cards, and within two minutes, all sorts of delicious food were placed in front of her.

  At this time, other employees also finished eating and left one after another. Only their side looked more lively.

  She held a large lobster in her hands, just about to share another interesting psychological case with them. However, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and the employees' expressions also became somewhat unnatural. They were all smiling and eagerly waiting for her to say something fun, but soon they all restrained their laughter, and some even started to pick up their plates and retreat to a distant corner.

  This action spread like a contagion and soon began the second, third retreat...

  Su Ye was shocked, is it? She just hugged a lobster, right?

  She soon realized that the reason was not the lobster in her hand, but the man who had just walked into the restaurant and was selecting some simple Chinese dishes. His tall and fluent figure was hard to ignore.

  "Doctor Su, have you seen the man in the light brown shirt in the Chinese food section?" One of the female employees who was waiting to escape nudged Su Ye's arm and whispered, "Friendly reminder, at Jing Shi Group, you can offend anyone, but absolutely not him. He is our General Manager, with absolute power, just a bit evil. What is he doing having lunch in the staff cafeteria today?"

  Su Ye looked at the figure in the distance, pursed her lips and said, "Is it that scary? By the way, he also has a pretty good appearance, shouldn't the opposite sex be flocking to him instead of avoiding him?"

  The female colleague rubbed her arm, not knowing if she felt cold or because of Su Ye's words, and hurriedly said, "That's right, if he was just an unrelated person, many women would stare at him, but——" She forcefully turned around, "Our general manager appears to be calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, he is aware of every little movement within the company. He has a ruthless and cunning way of doing things, and many old employees have fallen into his hands. I heard that when he was newly appointed as the general manager by the board of directors to develop the Chinese market, there were people on the board who disagreed with him and confronted him directly. Guess what happened?"

  Su Ye blinked her eyes and looked at her.

  The female colleague's face was almost distorted, "The next day, the old director took the initiative to resign, and surprisingly didn't take away a single share."

  "Huh?"

  "It's terrifying, no one knows what happened in that short period of time. From that day on, the board of directors began to make large-scale changes, all with young personnel." Her female colleague patted her hand and said solemnly, "Draining the water from the cauldron, plus he's a superior who is extremely strict with his subordinates, who would dare to be presumptuous in front of him? Oh dear, Director Nian is coming over, I'll withdraw first, Dr. Su, you take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, this female colleague held her tray and quickly distanced herself from Su Ye, returning to the group of colleagues sitting far away.

  Su Ye turned her head to look, and Nian Boyan indeed walked towards her with a tray of food, seemingly ignoring the commotion of other employees fleeing. She secretly sighed, lowered her head, and continued to fiddle with the large shrimp in her hand.

  Soon, a dinner plate was placed in front of her, and the man sat down as well. The spacious room suddenly felt somewhat cramped, and Su Ye could smell the faint woody scent from him without even lifting her head.

  "Is the new job adapting well?" Yan Bojian spoke first, his tone light and seemingly concerned yet also routine.

  "It's okay." Su Ye lazily replied, focusing on peeling the lobster.

  But soon, the man's large hand reached out and took the lobster from her hand, naturally and slowly peeling off the hard shell. "Report to the administration department this afternoon," he said, casually placing the peeled lobster on her plate. "Reporting early also means you don't have to follow the employees around for food and drink."

  "Who do you think is freeloading?" This remark displeased Su Ye, her tone involuntarily rising, but she sensitively discovered that the employees in the distance were all secretly watching this side, and after seeing this scene, they whispered to each other. Of course, this scene also included the most respected and serious General Manager peeling lobster for her.

  Nian Baiyan ignored the surrounding gazes, took a paper towel to wipe his hands and said, "Your salary is higher than theirs, this meal they're treating you to doesn't quite live up to its name."

  "Not everything has to be proper and formal, Year." Su Ye ate the lobster without any courtesy, the sound of her chewing was loud and clear. "Your employees all like me, that's my charm, this meal may not be proper but it's better than someone's authority making them retreat in disarray."

  Nian Baiyan caught her teasing intention, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he didn't say much. He took the tableware and started eating slowly. Su Ye glanced at his plate, which only had three dishes with a small amount of food, mainly light flavors, but surprisingly included her favorite foie gras. Looking at her own plate, it was piled high with all sorts of food except for foie gras.

  The foie gras looked like it was pan-seared to perfection, obviously he had specifically ordered it from the Western food section. She bit her fork and glanced at the Western food section again, indeed there was foie gras on the menu, but she didn't have an employee card.

  Eating the seafood tastelessly, but my eyes kept glancing at that piece of foie gras uncontrollably. I couldn't help but silently blame those employees for not ordering enough foie gras despite having ordered so many other delicious dishes.

  "Is the food not edible?" Yan Baiyan asked seemingly unintentionally.

  "It's quite delicious." She bit her tongue hard and took a deep breath, if she couldn't eat it, at least she could smell the flavor.

  But the seafood she used to love eating now felt like chewing wax when it entered her mouth, and it wasn't her fault that she had zero resistance to foie gras.

  Nian Baiyan looked at her with a straight face, pursed his lips to hold back a smile, and seeing her pitiful eyes couldn't help but feel sympathetic. He cleared his throat and the next second directly placed the foie gras on her plate. "Seafood is cold in nature, girls should eat less of it. Foie gras isn't bad, you can try some."

  Su Ye's eyes lit up, good people have good rewards, and her wish came true. However, she pretended to be nonchalant, "Really? Goose liver? Actually, I don't really like eating it usually." After saying this, she was afraid he would take back the goose liver, so she hastily added another sentence, "But after all, one has to adapt to new environments, and trying it is good too."

  As the last word fell, more than half of the goose liver had already entered her mouth.

  It's really delicious.

  The foie gras is smooth and not greasy, the perfect fire can instantly open up the taste buds. Su Ye eats this foie gras and suddenly thinks of a phrase: delicious to the point where no one knows what's going on.

  I didn't expect Yan Bojian's words to be true, the foie gras here is indeed top-notch.

  "After reporting in the afternoon, come to my office for a visit." Yan Baiyan continued to dine elegantly, but he didn't fail to notice her wolfing down food.

  "Oh." Su Ye, who was focused on eating foie gras, didn't ask any further questions.

  How big can a piece of foie gras be, three or two mouthfuls after swallowing, Su Ye secretly gritted her teeth and complained, why didn't this year's Bo Yan take out a few more pieces of foie gras.

  "How is the taste?"

  Su Ye quietly licked her lips, "Not bad."

  "There are mostly seafood in your plate, go get some other food." Yan Bo Xian directly placed the card in front of her.

  "Then... I won't be polite anymore." Su Ye was that kind of person, always one to take advantage of a good deal. She grabbed the employee card and rushed towards the Western food section, her mind filled with the delicious taste of foie gras.

  Nian Baiyan looked at her back, and couldn't help but laugh in resignation, she was still just a child after all.

  I am the dividing line little girl

  The news that the CEO had lunch with a new psychological consultant in the staff canteen spread quickly, and by noon, it was being described in vivid detail. According to the description, the normally serious CEO unexpectedly peeled shrimp for a woman, not only that, but also used his own utensils to pick up foie gras for her, the expression on the CEO's face was no longer serious, but doting...

  Of course, as a party involved, Su Ye didn't know about the sudden explosion of rumors and only felt that all the way to the administrative department, everyone's eyes were very strange.

  The one who brought her to report was Xǔ Tóng, the female assistant of Nián Bó Yuàn. She was a shrewd and capable woman, even wearing her professional attire with precision, as if she had been personally trained by Nián Bó Yuàn. Of course, she wasn't stern; when speaking with Sù Yè, she maintained a smile, her attitude neither servile nor overbearing.

  "This is the head of the personnel department. She will introduce you to the company's situation." After going through the formalities, Xu Tong looked at Su Ye and said.

  "Thank you."

  "It's just a doctor being polite, it's my duty." Xu Tong spoke simply and forcefully.

  "By the way, remind Dr. Su, Yan is waiting for you in the office."

  "Okay."

  Xu Tong left first, and Su Ye returned to her own exclusive office under the leadership of administrative personnel. The area was just right, neither too big nor too small, with a warm color tone, and all office supplies were available.

  After all administrative materials were ready, she went to the general manager's office.

  After seeing her come in, Nian Boyan put down the documents in his hand and gestured for her to sit down first. Later, the secretary brought in two cups of coffee and quietly took a look at Su Ye when leaving. Su Ye saw it with her eyes, but only felt a bit strange and didn't say much.

  "Tomorrow is Friday and also your second day on the job. The company will hold a welcome party for you in the evening, on the 80th floor upstairs," said Nam Baek-hyun.

  "So grand."

  "You have a long and difficult journey ahead of you, so I'll give you a sweet date first."

  Su Ye didn't think so, "They look happy working for you, but in fact they're all afraid of you."

  Nian Baiyan took a sip of his coffee and said calmly, "Don't forget, my employees are also your employees."

  "Is that so? When did the all-powerful General ever yield to anyone?" Su Ye's smile deepened, but her words were laced with sarcasm.

  "You're a member of the Ye family." He was stating a fact.

  Su Ye stood up, her attitude turning cold, "If you want to persuade me and the Ye family to make amends, then forget it."

  "Sit down." Yan Bojian's attitude remained calm and collected as he gave the order.

  She stared at him for half a day before doing so.

  "Calling you to the office, apart from celebrating the meeting, also reminds you." Yan Bojian's tone was serious, "I hope you can keep up with the working hours of the employees."

  "Is the underlying meaning that you're telling me not to be late or leave early?" Su Ye leaned back on the sofa, speaking slowly and deliberately. "Boss, I don't have a habit of getting up early."

  "You were very active in Lianzhong and university." Yan Baiyan saw her small stubbornness.

  "That's different, I now live next to Lianzhong, my legs can take me there without worrying about being late. On Sundays, I stay at school and the next day I naturally go to class with a refreshing spirit. What about Jing Shi? It's located in CBD, you don't know how congested it is here."

  "This will not set a precedent; otherwise, all bonuses will be deducted." Nian Boyan was impartial and unyielding.

  "You——"

  Also, don't get too close with employees, this will weaken your consultant nature.

  Su Ye felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help but retort, "How I attend training classes is my own business, Mr. Nian, you're being too nosy!"

  "In private, you can call me sister-in-law, but in the company, Mr. Nian's title should be changed to General Manager Nian." Nian Boyan was ruthless to the extreme.

  "Alright then, General, I have my own advisory plan, you have no right to interfere."

  "Next time I don't want to see the conference room in a mess again. Otherwise, it's the old rule: half salary and full deduction of bonuses."

  Su Ye suddenly stood up and coldly said to him, "Take your bonus and salary, I quit!" After finishing speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave.

  "Unless Professor Ding really doesn't care about the remaining payment." Behind him, Yan Bo's calm and peaceful voice slowly rose up.

  The words exploded like a bomb, opening up a chasm in front of her that she couldn't cross. She stopped abruptly and turned to stare at the man behind the office desk.

  Nian Baiyan's lips and eyes were tinged with a faint smile as he took over the previous sentence, "Otherwise, you don't have the qualifications to resign in front of me."

  "Nian Baiyan, you should see a psychiatrist." Su Ye couldn't help but want to rush forward and tear apart his smile.

  Upon hearing this, he spread his hands and said, "You are a psychological consultant for Jing Shi, it's not impossible to serve me as well."

  Before she could swallow the previous breath, the next one rushed up again, but was firmly suppressed by Su Ye. She couldn't get angry, nor could she lose her composure. When that flame was finally extinguished by her into a small spark, she spoke coldly, "Haven't you heard of the saying 'it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person'? Honestly, I'm that petty person, so from now on, you'll have a good time."

  Nian Baiyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at his watch, "Alright, you can go back to work now."

  "Good grief!" She turned and walked to the door.

  "There's more." Toshihiko Yamaki's calm voice rose again, "Next time you curse someone, don't let me hear it. This is advice from a family member."

  "You're not even related to me!" Su Ye said irritably and stormed out of the office.

  Nian Boyan did not get angry but instead smiled.

  I am the dividing line little girl

  As night fell, Jing Shi Group was brightly lit, with many people working overtime. However, everyone knew that the last one to leave was always General Manager Yan.

  The door of the general manager's office knocked gently a few times, and Ye He Feng pushed in.

  Nian Baiyan put down his pen and stood up, "Chairman."

  Ye He Feng nodded, walked to the living room and sat down by himself. His face looked somewhat despondent, with a hint of fatigue. He beckoned to Nian Baiyan, "Baiyan, you sit down too, let's chat."

  Nian Baiyan sat down, washed the tea set, and skillfully brewed the tea. "You want to talk about Su Ye with me, right?" He didn't ask proactively because he knew someone would come eventually; he had thought it would be Ye Yu, but unexpectedly, it was Ye He Feng himself.

  "You're a clever kid." Ye He Feng waited for him to pour the tea, then gently stirred the fragrance, his turbid eyes showing unprecedented fatigue. "I heard that Ye Ye has returned to the company to work, this is all your credit."

  "If I had known she was a Ye family member earlier, it might have been even earlier." Nian Boyan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye He Feng, saying lightly.

  Ye He Feng took the teacup but gently placed it aside, reached out to press down on Nian Bai Yi's hand and said with a serious tone, "So, Bai Yi, you have to help me take good care of this little girl, apart from you, I don't trust anyone else."
