Lan Yue introduced one by one, “They are Wen Chao, Li Na, and Wang Wei. I’m Lan Yue, your assistant. We’ve all recently joined the company, and we’ll be relying on your guidance in the future.”
Song Fan almost burst into laughter. She saw the corner of Wang Wei’s mouth twitch, but he didn’t speak. The other two also looked surprised, indicating that Song Yi had instructed them not to discuss anything with Song Fan. The team members assigned to the new manager were deliberately chosen as newcomers, which was an attempt to undermine Song Fan’s authority and hinder her from excelling in her role.
Song Fan didn’t want to trouble them and just nodded. “Alright, it’s the first day at work. Go about your duties. Lan Yue, right?”
With a keen interest, she glanced at Lan Yue, “Send this document to everyone and make a copy for me. This is the cooperation details with the Brown Group. I hope you all review it quickly, and then we’ll collaborate on a proposal from Song Corporation.”
Everyone nodded in agreement and left the office, but Lan Yue stayed behind.
“Miss Lan, why haven’t you left?” Song Fan raised an eyebrow, teasingly. “Don’t tell me you want me, the general manager, to wait on you?”
“Oh, don’t be angry. I’m just here to inquire in advance.” Lan Yue smiled pleasingly. “If I didn’t come early, how could I serve as your right-hand woman?”
Ever since she learned that Song Fan would be returning to Song Corporation, she decided to infiltrate the company’s system first, looking for anyone planning anything against Song Fan.
Although she hadn’t found any evidence, she discovered that Song Corporation was hiring a general manager assistant with unusually low requirements. They claimed it was for recruiting backup talent for a new department, but when Lan Yue checked the backgrounds of the other three team members, they were all newcomers. She immediately suspected it was for Song Fan’s department.
So, she forged the resume for the final interview and successfully became the assistant. After only a few days of training, she was already on duty.
Lan Yue explained the situation, and Song Fan understood. “Heh, my dad is quite clever. He arranged for a few newcomers to follow me, saving himself from the accusation of monopolizing power. When our department fails to deliver results, he’ll step in as the chairman, and take back control. What a well-calculated move.”
Lan Yue rolled her eyes. “Humph, this old man has an agenda. He has ignored you for so many years, and now that you’re back, he still acts this way. There might be something fishy going on!”
But Lan Yue hadn’t found anything suspicious about Song Yi. Even after investigating some negative company news secretly, she found no connection to him. However, the events from many years ago were somewhat peculiar, but time had passed, and she couldn’t find any clues.
Song Fan had also looked into these matters, well aware that Charlie wouldn’t make baseless accusations. There must be more important information that the Brown family had uncovered.
She frowned and told Lan Yue, “Since you’re already here, help me secure this project. I’ll invite Charlie over this afternoon. This is my first step in establishing a firm position in the company, and we can’t afford any mistakes.”
Lan Yue immediately nodded. “Rest assured. Although these outsiders are newcomers, they are capable. Li Na’s family specializes in jewelry appraisal, and Wen Chao studied media, with connections to many advertising industry figures. Moreover, several of his friends are internet celebrities, so there shouldn’t be any issues with future promotion.”
“As for Wang Wei, he majored in accounting. You can entrust him with the brand’s profits and expenses. But keep in mind, these three are interns, and we might not retain them.”
Song Fan wasn’t surprised at all. She knew Lan Yue’s capabilities, and she was certain that the backgrounds of these individuals had been thoroughly investigated. However, she still asked, “Not one of them is my dad’s person. Is he not keeping an eye on me? That’s unusual.”
She was well aware that Song Yi wouldn’t allow her an easy time at Song Corporation. At the very least, he would likely plant one or two informants around her.
“Of course, these three, apart from some business experience, have clean backgrounds. You can consider them as talents needing your guidance. But Chairman Song has also briefed them in a meeting, casually mentioning that they should gain experience by following you, so no need to take it too seriously.”
Lan Yue smirked, “Li Na was sent by her family to intern. Your dad had to accept her. Wang Wei is Wang Li’s son, the manager of the finance department, but I don’t think your dad knows about it. I had to go through a lot to find this out. Wang Li used some connections to claim they were distant relatives to get him in. However, their father-son relationship seems strained.”
“So, Wen Chao might be problematic?” Song Fan thought about the boy with the baby face; he seemed harmless, but appearances could be deceiving..
