It wasn't until Lu Tingshen handed him the signed contract that the stone hanging in Ji Zhenxiong's heart fell to the ground.

He stammered a few polite words, and found that Lu Tingshen's face didn't seem to look good, so he left with a sense of humor.

After Ji Zhenxiong left, Lu Ting sat in the boss's chair, with deep eyebrows and thoughts that could not be hidden.

Regarding Ji Yan's avoidance of talking about him, Lu Tingshen always had a knot in his heart, and his mood was a little dull because of this.

After a while, he picked up the phone and connected to Ji Yan's number, but no one answered.

Lu Ting was a little annoyed, when did he start to care about this woman?

In order to expel this feeling from his heart, he simply called his assistant into the office.

"Help me find the earliest flight to Los Angeles." He gave instructions with a blank face.

The assistant looked stunned, thinking that Lu Tingshen had no plans to go on a business trip recently, and couldn't help but ask inexplicably: "Mr. Lu, are you going on a business trip abroad?" ”

Lu Tingshen was a little absent-minded, his eyes staring at the documents spread out on the desktop, but Ji Yan was still lingering in his mind.

After a few seconds of silence, he replied in a cold voice: "Yes, it's better for me to go and see that project in person last time." ”

Regarding Lu Tingshen's sudden decision, the assistant felt even more puzzled.

After all, he is the president of the dignified Lu family, and when it comes to inspecting the project, he can just send a subordinate of the company over, and he doesn't need to go all the way at all.

"Mr. Lu, if you are interested in that project, you can send Lin Jie there, she often runs around." The assistant cautiously made his own proposal.

However, she didn't know what Lu Tingshen was thinking, and she just wanted to devote herself to her work when she went abroad to investigate the project.

So the answer is known without saying it, Lu Ting refused her kind words and persuasion without thinking about it, and replied in a resolute tone: "No need, don't ask so much, go and help me book a ticket, the sooner the better." ”

At this time, the assistant saw that the boss's mood was obviously wrong, and without saying a word, he picked up his mobile phone to look up the flight.

After a while, the assistant showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Lu, the nearest flight is ...... at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Well, book a ticket." Lu Tingshen's face was very cold, and he ordered directly without thinking about it.

However, the assistant realized that the time was really rushed, after all, the inspection project was not an urgent matter.

"Mr. Lu, this flight is very nervous, I'm afraid I won't be able to book first class, in fact, there will be a flight at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise you ......"

The assistant told a little lie here, but he didn't want Lu Tingshen to spend the night on the plane too hard.

Before she finished speaking, Lu Tingshen made a decision and instructed without thinking: "It's okay to book business class, in short, as soon as possible!" ”

In this way, the assistant found that he could not persuade him, so he had to obey his fate, lying and brushing out the first class cabin perfunctory.

After the assistant left, Lu Tingshen picked up his mobile phone and saw that there was no movement on the screen.

In fact, he was looking forward to Ji Yan being able to call back after seeing the missed call, but unfortunately what he was waiting for was disappointment.

She's deliberately avoiding him?

Lu Ting strained his face, put down his mobile phone casually, and after processing the remaining documents, he went on a business trip abroad without saying a word.

At this moment, Ji Yan is busy with work.

As for Lu Tingshen's call, because she was focused on work and set her phone to silent, she didn't see it at all.

Although the company was not calm, because her personal ability was indeed eye-catching, in the end, Minister Chen had to put aside his prejudice and invite her to the office to talk.

Ji Yan walked in and asked him politely, "Hello Minister Chen, is there anything you want me to do?" ”

Minister Chen admired Ji Yan's excellent ability and talent very much, and suddenly replied with a smile: "Xiao Ji, you sit down first, I have an idea to talk to you." ”

Ji Yan did so, came to the sofa and sat down slowly, very curious about the reason why Minister Chen suddenly looked for her.

Minister Chen looked at her well-proportioned and slender figure, and her elegant face was also dignified and generous.

In all fairness, Ji Yan is outstanding in terms of appearance and business ability, and if she can be promoted, it will definitely be of great benefit to the company.

"Xiao Ji, the design department has been campaigning recently, you should have heard of it, right?" Minister Chen asked meaningfully.

Ji Yanqing's eyes rolled, she herself worked in the design department, of course she knew about it. It's just that Ji Rou made her bad behind her back, which made her isolated by her colleagues.

Not to mention participating in the election, even if you ask your colleagues about it, I am afraid that you will be ridiculed.

However, Ji Yan did not say that he was treated unfairly, but responded calmly: "I have heard of it, but my qualifications are not enough, so I just want to do my job well." ”

Hearing her humble words, Minister Chen smiled heartily and affirmed in a confident tone: "Who said that you are not qualified enough? As long as you are capable, even if you are on your first day at the company, you are eligible to run. ”

After that, Minister Chen expressed his intention to call her to the office, and solemnly announced: "Xiao Ji, I deliberately reserved a place yesterday, which is intended to be reserved for you, don't live up to my expectations!" ”

The words have been said very clearly, Ji Yan is not easy to refuse, and she is also very enterprising, so she is still happy for this opportunity.

After a pause for a few seconds, Ji Yan smiled and agreed: "Okay, since Minister Chen is fighting for a place for me, I might as well be respectful and do my best." ”

When Minister Chen saw that she agreed, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, then this matter is settled, I will go out with you later, if anyone has any objections, I will come forward to help you solve it."

With Minister Chen escorting her, it is said that this election campaign should be nine out of ten, which Ji Yan also knows.

It's just that she thinks it's a little strange, how could Minister Chen's opinion of herself suddenly change so much?

While thinking about it, Minister Chen had already gotten up from his seat and pointed to the door, "Let's go, let's go out." ”

Saying that, the two left the office one after the other, and Ji Yan, who followed behind, was still a little apprehensive, and always had a premonition that he was going to encounter obstacles.

Sure enough, when Minister Chen told Ji Yan that he was the last candidate in front of all the members of the design department, he was questioned by many people without exception.

The deputy minister and Ji Rou have a good relationship in the company, and they were the first to come out and voice their opposition.

"Minister Chen, it is said that our design department is also full of talents, you don't let Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zhao participate in the election, why do you just look at last season's smoke?"

Listening to the vice minister's blunt vote against it, Minister Chen could only explain frankly: "First of all, I declare that I let Ji Yan be selected for no personal reason, but considering her strength enough to participate in the election, what I care about is not to bury talents!" ”

Minister Chen's words were loud, but several other colleagues who usually watched Ji Yan were dismissive.

"That being said, but we haven't been working with Ji Yan for a day or two, we can see if she has the ability or not, minister."

"That's right, minister, you can't be partial."

One of her colleagues expressed skepticism again, and the other immediately stood in her line.

At this moment, Ji Yan is not to mention how embarrassed it is to be by Minister Chen's side, but he doesn't want to swallow his anger every time.

If someone doesn't trust her abilities, why doesn't she prove herself in front of everyone?

Thinking of this, Ji Yan caught a glimpse of Minister Chen's increasingly serious face, and didn't want him to be too embarrassed, so he took the initiative to stand up.

"Colleagues, a person's ability is not said with his mouth, let alone quarreled, if you question me, I am willing to accept the assessment."

Now Ji Yan took the initiative to talk to herself, and the employees who couldn't get used to her were even more full of contempt, feeling that she was simply beyond her power.

"Assessment? Hahaha, with the support of the minister, it is really full of confidence. ”

"Then the minister, you said that you want to take the exam Ji Yan, but she proposed it herself."

The employees of the design department seized the opportunity to ridicule and sarcastically.

Minister Chen didn't want to make any negative rumors in the company because of this incident, so he had to accept the objections of his subordinates.

"Well, I had that idea too."

Minister Chen calmly faced his subordinates, and turned his face to look at Ji Yan, who was calm.

"Xiao Ji, it's time to show your ability, I'll come up with the question, you improvise design, what do you think?"

Ji Yan did not refuse Minister Chen's proposal, but confidently agreed.

"Okay Minister Chen, if my design doesn't meet the criteria for candidacy, I will take the initiative to withdraw." Her tone was calm and unhurried.

Next, Minister Chen asked questions on the spot, and Ji Yan thought for ten minutes before preparing to draw a design draft on paper.

But Ji Yan didn't expect that those colleagues who targeted her, both out of disgust and jealousy, didn't want her to be a candidate at all.

In this test, someone quietly did something, but Ji Yan didn't know.

Picking up the pen and paper, Ji Yan was just about to draw the design he wanted on the paper, but when his hand slipped, the tip of the pen drew a line crookedly, and he found that the lines under the pen were extremely unsmooth.

Seeing this, the colleagues gathered around laughed.

"Ji Yan, your painting skills are too bad, you can't even draw straight lines, how do you design like this?"

But since he didn't say anything, he knew what the problem was, and he still expressed his design ideas accurately.

After finishing, Minister Chen came over to take a look and nodded with satisfaction: "Your design is very good, even better than I expected!" ”

Regarding this evaluation, Ji Yan pursed his lips and smiled, and replied humbly: "Thank you Minister Chen for your comment, I will continue to work hard." ”

Minister Chen was very optimistic about Ji Yan's ability, and encouraged him earnestly in front of his subordinates: "I appreciate your design talent, so the last place is still you, so prepare for the competition!" ”

And just like that, the election was decided.

And the colleague who did it just now was not convinced, obviously she broke the tip of the pen, and also smeared a thin layer of wax on the paper, and finally let Ji Yan be successfully selected.

But out of weakness, the other party didn't dare to say it, so he could only be even more jealous of Ji Yan.
