Chapter 40

Sunlight Tower.

This towering building, standing in the heart of Hanghu City, covers a total area of 40,000 square meters. With Hanghu's property prices, its total value exceeds 2 billion yuan, making it the most valuable property under the Su family's name. It is also the headquarters of the Su family's Green Lake Group.

In addition to the headquarters of Green Lake Group, the office of Green Lake Group's Jiangnan branch is also located in Sunlight Tower.

The next morning, Ye Fan drove Su Yuxin's Mercedes S700 to the parking lot below Sunlight Tower.

The car stopped, and Su Yuxin glanced at Ye Fan out of the corner of her eye, noticing that he was not at all nervous. Instead, he looked around with curiosity, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

This observation put Su Yuxin at ease. She wasn't worried that Ye Fan would be nervous on his first day at the company, but rather that he might not adapt to the role of an assistant.

"Let's go, get out of the car."

Su Yuxin said this and, without waiting for Ye Fan to get out, opened the car door herself and stepped out. It was already a miracle that Ye Fan was willing to be her assistant, so she certainly wouldn't ask him to open the door for her like a bodyguard.

Unlike the previous day when she went shopping with Ye Fan, today Su Yuxin wore a black business suit, with her hair neatly tied up, revealing her fair neck. She exuded a cold and noble aura.

Especially after getting out of the car, she resumed her usual icy demeanor, making her cold and noble presence even more pronounced, giving people a sense of being kept at a distance.

In comparison, although Ye Fan wore the shirt, trousers, and shoes that Su Yuxin had specially bought for him, he didn't have the air of a business elite. Instead, he looked more like a young master.

Swish!

Since it was close to the time for clocking in, there were many people in the parking lot. When they saw Su Yuxin's dedicated car, they immediately focused their attention. When they saw Su Yuxin and Ye Fan get out of the car, they quickly turned their gazes to them.

They first looked at Su Yuxin, then, without exception, their gazes lingered on Ye Fan—Who is this guy?

There was no answer.

No one dared to come up and greet Su Yuxin. After a quick glance, they all averted their gazes and hurried towards the first-floor lobby.

In the first-floor lobby, the receptionists were not standing straight with their hands on their abdomens as they used to, but were chatting and laughing.

"Hey, what's wrong with them today? Why do they all look like they're in a hurry to be reborn?" Soon, one of the receptionists noticed the anomaly and couldn't help but ask.

In the past six months, Su Yuxin had traveled around the world for treatment and rarely came to the company. As a result, the employees had become somewhat lax, unlike when Su Yuxin was around and they were diligent.

"Could it be that President Su has returned?" Another receptionist spoke up, remembering that the employees' behavior now was the same as it was six months ago.

Clack! Clack!

Just as the second receptionist finished speaking, the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground came from the entrance, and Su Yuxin, with her icy demeanor, walked into the lobby.

"President Su!"

Seeing Su Yuxin appear, the receptionists looked like mice seeing a cat, their faces turning pale. Two of them even stuttered when speaking.

Clearly, they were worried that their lax behavior had been noticed by Su Yuxin.

Based on their understanding of Su Yuxin, if she saw this, they would likely be fired.

This was a result they did not want to face—although the Green Lake Group's Jiangnan branch had strict management, the benefits were much better than those of other real estate companies in Jiangnan.

Seeing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but marvel at Su Yuxin's high prestige in the company, but he understood that no matter how strong she appeared, she was, at heart, a gentle and kind woman.

To the relief of the receptionists, Su Yuxin did not scold them but walked straight to the executive elevator without a glance.

Ye Fan, while observing the lobby's decor, followed Su Yuxin at a leisurely pace and eventually entered the elevator with her.

Hmm?

In the lobby, whether it was the receptionists or other employees, although they did not dare to look at Su Yuxin and Ye Fan directly, they all used their peripheral vision to observe.

At this moment, seeing Ye Fan follow Su Yuxin into the executive elevator, which only Su Yuxin had the right to use, they were all shocked as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight!

Who is that man?

After the shock, everyone who saw this scene asked themselves in their hearts.

In the elevator, Ye Fan was unaware of the shock his unintentional action had caused and could not predict the storm it would bring to the Green Lake Group's Jiangnan branch and even the headquarters. Instead, he looked at Su Yuxin with interest.

"Divine Doctor Ye, what's wrong?"

Being stared at so closely by Ye Fan, Su Yuxin felt a bit nervous for some reason. Her icy demeanor vanished, and she looked guilty, unable to meet Ye Fan's gaze.

"I've heard that you are known in the Jiangnan business community as the 'Cold-Faced CEO.' I was a bit puzzled before, but now I believe it." Ye Fan smiled. "If I hadn't seen your other side, I might have been deceived by your appearance."

"An inevitable move, I apologize for making you laugh, Divine Doctor Ye."

Su Yuxin smiled bitterly, her smile filled with sorrow. She was young and a woman, and if she didn't act this way, even with Su Hongyuan's support, she couldn't command the respect of the company's veterans.

As the leader of the company, if she couldn't command respect, it would be a serious dereliction of duty!

"How could I laugh? If anything, I would admire you." Ye Fan seemed to understand Su Yuxin's smile and comforted her. "If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't do as well as you."

"Divine Doctor Ye has unparalleled skills, and doing these small things would be a waste of talent." Su Yuxin smiled bitterly, then thought of Ye Fan's current role as her assistant, feeling awkward.

"Everyone has their strengths. If I were to do business, I would be a fool with money to burn." Ye Fan joked.

"Ha ha—"

Su Yuxin was immediately amused, and her smile was like a blooming lily, beautiful beyond measure.

A moment later, the elevator stopped at the 20th floor, and with a soft ding, the doors slowly opened.

Su Yuxin stepped out of the elevator first, leading Ye Fan to the office.

At the office door, a young girl in a white shirt and black skirt seemed to know Su Yuxin was coming and had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Su Yuxin step out of the elevator, she hurried to greet her, but her steps stopped when she saw Ye Fan behind Su Yuxin.

She looked as if she had seen something unbelievable, standing there with a blank expression, her eyes fixed on Ye Fan, her mind filled with one thought: Who is this man?

"President Su!"

Without an answer, the young girl quickly recovered from her shock and hurried to greet Su Yuxin and Ye Fan, bowing to Su Yuxin.

"Assistant Yang, this is Mr. Ye Fan. He will assist me in my work and share an office with you."

Seeing the young girl recover quickly, Su Yuxin did not scold her but said sternly, "Assistant Ye doesn't need to report to the General Affairs Department. Notify them immediately to prepare the necessary office facilities for Assistant Ye."

"Yes, President Su!"

The girl, named Yang Miaomiao, her face slightly changing, did not dare to ask more but immediately accepted the order and left.

"Divine Doctor Ye, I originally planned to give you a separate office, but there are no more available offices on this floor, so I'm afraid you'll have to share an office with Assistant Yang."

Entering the CEO's office, Su Yuxin looked at Ye Fan apologetically. She had originally wanted to arrange for Ye Fan to work in her office, but she was afraid of rumors, so she gave up.

It wasn't that she was afraid of the rumors, but she was worried that Ye Fan would hear them.

"It's fine, having someone around will keep me from getting bored." Ye Fan smiled indifferently. For him, coming here to work was just a facade, so he didn't care about these things.

Seeing that Ye Fan didn't mind, Su Yuxin felt relieved and poured him a cup of hot water. "Divine Doctor Ye, please sit for a moment while I review the materials for today's meeting."

Ye Fan took the cup and nodded, casually looking around Su Yuxin's office.

Like many CEOs' offices, Su Yuxin's office was spacious. The round, curved desk looked grand, and behind it was a large floor-to-ceiling window. Standing by the window, one could overlook the city below.

On the north side was a door leading to a small bedroom, which Su Yuxin used for rest. On the south side, rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, filled with books, many of which showed signs of frequent use.

Noticing this detail, Ye Fan understood that Su Yuxin's being favored by Su Hongyuan and achieving her current success was not by chance but was closely tied to her hard work.

While Ye Fan was observing Su Yuxin's office, a major piece of news spread throughout the Green Lake Group's Jiangnan branch—Su Yuxin had brought a man back to the company and allowed him to ride in her exclusive elevator!

For a time, almost all the employees in the company wanted to know who the man who rode in the exclusive elevator with Su Yuxin was.

Some people took action.

"Minister Wu, who is the person President Su brought today?" A mid-level manager, who was good friends with the General Affairs Minister Wu Wanyong, couldn't resist his curiosity and called to inquire.

Wu Wanyong was equally curious and laughed bitterly. "Old Zhou, I don't know either."

"Could he be President Su's boyfriend or fiancé?" Zhou's curiosity was burning, and since he was close to Wu, he didn't hide his thoughts.

"Old Zhou, you know President Su. Don't say such things. If someone hears and reports you to President Su, you'll be in trouble!" Wu Wanyong warned.

"I know, I'm just saying this to you." Zhou smiled. "Alright, you're busy. Remember to let me know if you hear anything."

Wu Wanyong responded and hung up the phone.

"Ring—"

The phone rang again. Wu Wanyong, thinking it was another curious call, was a bit impatient but answered immediately when he saw the number. "Hello, Assistant Yang."

"Hello, Minister Wu."

On the other end, Yang Miaomiao, with a complex expression, said, "President Su asked me to inform you that she has hired an assistant named Ye Fan, who will assist her work with me. She also said that Assistant Ye doesn't need to report to you. She will have someone deliver his files to you and asked you to immediately prepare the necessary office facilities for Assistant Ye—Assistant Ye will share an office with me."

"Alright."

Wu Wanyong agreed without hesitation, showing no dissatisfaction. In his view, anyone who could ride in the exclusive elevator with Su Yuxin wouldn't need to report to him.

"Ye Fan is definitely more than just an assistant."

With this thought, Wu Wanyong immediately followed Su Yuxin's instructions and called to have the office facilities prepared for Ye Fan.

Soon, the news of Ye Fan being appointed as Su Yuxin's assistant spread throughout the Green Lake Group's Jiangnan branch and even reached the headquarters, causing a stir!

At the same time, this news spread rapidly to the real estate industry in Jiangnan...
