chapter 9: Sadly, You Can't Replace Him

Feng Qing still couldn't understand Sheng Yan. Didn't he know exactly what a professional manager should do? Why did he condescend to be an assistant?

Could it be that being the president of Shengshi was not as good as being a special assistant at Fengxing?

Feng Qing quickly thought of another problem. Before, Jiao Jiao had told her that Sheng Yan had taken over temporarily because Sheng Sibai had gone abroad for medical treatment. Now that Sheng Yan was leaving just like that, what would happen to Shengshi?

"Sheng Sibai is back?"

"Why do you suddenly mention him?" Sheng Yan didn't seem to want to talk about Sheng Sibai and directly evaded her question. "I'll say it again. If you need my help. Of course, if you still think you need to see my resume, I can send you a brief one first."

Feng Qing didn't refuse him. After all, more options meant more chances. She was silent for two seconds and then resumed her business - like manner. "If you've made up your mind, you can send your resume to the personnel's email. We'll screen according to the process."

Sheng Yan snorted, sounding dissatisfied with what Feng Qing said. But soon he adjusted and became his usual non -chalant self again. "Do I still need to go through the process even if I'm taking the back door?"

Shouldn't it be that if Feng Qing nodded today, he could start work tomorrow?

Feng Qing said coldly and formulaically, "It's just business. It's fair to you and other candidates."

"I have something else to do. I'll hang up now."

The phone went silent. Sheng Yan met the other person's gaze and shamelessly pretended nothing had happened. He held up his phone and looked to the other side, avoiding eye contact. "You see, I've found a new job."

At the desk, Sheng Sibai, with sharp eyebrows but a pale face, looked at Sheng Yan and smiled faintly. "A candidate. It shouldn't count as officially finding a job yet, right?"

His body was okay for the most part now, but he still spoke softly. Coupled with his pale face, it was hard not to misunderstand that his heart would stop the next second.

Sheng Yan didn't say a word. He leaned against the sofa and looked outside through the French window. The high - rise buildings were close to each other. Under the clouds, humans were as tiny as ants. The same group of 'ants' passed by these buildings every day, but the clouds floating above the high - rises were never the same.

Sheng Sibai wheeled his wheelchair out from behind the desk and stopped beside Sheng Yan. He looked at the scenery outside just like him, with a faint light in his eyes that wasn't very bright. Suddenly he laughed and clearly asked deliberately, "You'd rather be an assistant for someone else than stay at home to help me. It seems you value this woman a lot."

"Fengxing. If I remember correctly, the only daughter of Chairman Feng has the same name and surname as your ex - girlfriend. What's even more coincidental is that they're the same age. Do you want to guess what the relationship between Chairman Feng and your ex - girlfriend is?"

Sheng Yan looked at Sheng Sibai speechlessly. If it weren't for the fact that Sheng Sibai was his elder brother and in poor health now, he really wanted to punch him.

"Aren't you being really boring?"

Sheng Sibai shrugged, looking innocent with a bit of playfulness in his frailty. "Just joking. It's been so many years. Maybe Miss Feng has already forgotten about you."

He had heard Feng Qing's calm voice on the phone clearly, especially when she said very mercilessly at the end that it was just business.

Compared with Sheng Yan, Feng Qing seemed much more mature.

Sheng Yan didn't respond. Who said it wasn't? He still remembered his feelings when he saw Feng Qing in the club's restroom more than a month ago, but when Feng Qing woke up, she didn't recognize him at all.

Fortunately, she didn't completely forget his name.

He really didn't know whether he should be glad or not.

Seeing that he didn't say a word for a long time, Sheng Sibai tapped his fingers on the wheelchair and casually asked him, "Have you really made up your mind?"

Although the position of the president's special assistant was a very good one, judging from Feng Qing's coldness, it was hard to say whether Sheng Yan could get this position. But if Sheng Yan just went to be an ordinary assistant, what would be the point?

Sheng Yan's gaze seemed to fall nowhere, and the light in his eyes flickered. "I've made up my mind."

Soon he smiled, turned his head to look at Sheng Sibai beside him, and said, "Don't you think I can get better experience at Fengxing?"

Shengshi had always been very stable. Even when Sheng Sibai went abroad for medical treatment a year ago, the stock price didn't fluctuate greatly, and the partners had full trust in Shengshi. So in the year when he took over Sheng Sibai's work, he actually had an easy time.

But Fengxing was different. Feng Shengyang had no other brothers or sons. His only daughter, Feng Qing, had hardly ever appeared in the business circle of Luocheng. So naturally, people thought that once Feng Shengyang had an accident, Fengxing would be at the end of its strength. That was why they quickly looked for new partners while Feng Shengyang was still in the hospital.

Now Fengxing was undoubtedly a good place for him. If he really had the ability to turn the situation of Fengxing around, that would really show his capabilities.

There was a flame of ambition in his eyes. Sheng Sibai looked at him and suddenly didn't quite understand his purpose of deciding to go to Fengxing.

Now Fengxing was really a good place for experience, but was Sheng Yan really just going there for experience?

He knew that Sheng Yan was a very independent person, so he also understood that there was nothing else he could say now. He could only advise him, "See clearly what's in your heart and don't do things that you'll regret."

His tone sounded very heavy, as if he had touched an old wound in his heart. For a moment, he looked very pitiful. Sheng Yan patted his shoulder, pursed his lips, and smiled at him. "I will. Don't worry."

After leaving Sheng Sibai's office, Sheng Yan let out a sigh of relief and went back to his own office to prepare his resume.

Feng Qing also informed the personnel department. She decided to participate in the interviews of the candidates in person. Although she didn't know how effective it would be, she still thought it was necessary.

She had never been involved in this kind of work before, so she didn't expect it to be a bit difficult to handle. Fortunately, Special Assistant Qi was always there to help her, so she didn't feel nervous in front of the candidates.

It was a week later when Feng Qing interviewed Sheng Yan. His resume was extremely outstanding, completely different from the other candidates'. Sheng Yan seemed to have done it on purpose. Just his resume made him stand out above the other candidates.

With the confidence of coming from a big family, he threw out an ace, saying that he just wanted to win a three. Feng Qing even worried that there was something she hadn't considered comprehensively enough, which made her feel absurd at this moment.

She really couldn't understand Sheng Yan's thoughts. Of course, it seemed that she didn't need to understand either.

However, she still thought it was necessary to persuade him. "With your ability, you're fully capable of being a president. I still suggest you think about it again..."

"No need." Sheng Yan interrupted her and stared into her eyes. "I just want to be your assistant."

Feng Qing licked her lips, feeling a bit helpless. It seemed that she really couldn't persuade him.

"By the way." When Feng Qing didn't say a word, Sheng Yan spoke again. He smiled at Special Assistant Qi standing beside them. "I hope to take his place."

Feng Qing laughed. She seemed to suddenly understand something. She tucked her hair behind her ear and said apologetically, "It's a pity you can't replace him."
