The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

When it was time for work, Shen Yanran left an hour early, just like yesterday.

This time, however, Li Zhanting personally drove her there.

As soon as Shen Yanran sat in the passenger seat, she heard the man next to her say in a low voice, "Send me the design draft of the birthday gift you drew for Grandpa in a little while. I've already asked Xu Fan to contact a manufacturing factory, and it should be finished by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Shen Yanran felt a warmth in her heart. It turned out that he had always kept what she had told him in mind. "Okay, I'll send it to you now."

Shen Yanran has carefully kept the sketches she designed for her grandfather in a folder on her phone so she can look at them anytime.

So she immediately took out her phone and sent the message to Li Zhanting's phone via WeChat.

After hearing two buzzes from his phone, Li Zhanting nodded and said, "Okay, once it's finished, I'll have Xu Fan send it over for you to take a look. If you're not satisfied, we can make changes."

"Okay," Shen Yanran replied with a smile.

Although she wasn't a famous international designer, she thought her grandfather would love to receive a gift she had designed herself.

About an hour and a half later, even though Li Zhanting had extraordinary power and status in Haicheng, he could only silently get stuck in traffic during the morning rush hour.

Therefore, Shen Yanran's decision to leave the villa an hour early was absolutely correct.

After gambling for about half an hour, Shen Yanran finally arrived at her destination.

Just to avoid attracting attention like last night, she deliberately chose an inconspicuous spot and had Li Zhanting park the car and drop her off. "Okay, I'm going to work now. Be careful on the road. Bye."

"Wait a minute." Li Zhanting suddenly called out to Shen Yanran.

"Hmm?" Shen Yanran turned around in confusion.

Li Zhanting pointed to his handsome cheek and said, "You forgot this."

Shen Yanran smiled helplessly. It wasn't that she had forgotten; she had never actually done a kiss goodbye.

She had originally planned to get off the bus and leave, but seeing Li Zhanting's handsome face, she couldn't resist the temptation. Her face flushed, she leaned over and prepared to give him a gentle kiss on his handsome profile.

Just as her lips were about to touch his cheek, he suddenly turned his head and kissed her thin, sensual lips.

Li Zhanting looked smug, his gaze deep as he looked at the slightly surprised woman before him. He reached out and touched the back of her head, gradually deepening the kiss until Shen Yanran could hardly breathe.

Shen Yanran glared at the man in front of her, who was now completely satisfied. Just as she was about to say something, she heard him start the car and point to his watch, saying, "You're going to be late."

Shen Yanran didn't want to get up early only to arrive late, and since there really wasn't enough time, she had no choice but to immediately push open the car door and get out.

Li Zhanting watched Shen Yanran walk into the company before driving away.

Not long after Shen Yanran entered her office, a colleague knocked on the door and said, "Designer Shen, General Manager Zhao said there will be a group meeting in ten minutes, and he asked me to come and inform you."

Shen Yanran nodded and said politely, "Okay, thank you, I understand."

This was Shen Yanran's first time attending a company meeting, and she felt inexplicably nervous.

When she arrived at the conference room, all the department heads were there, and she was seated in the seat closest to Zhao Qingying.

Zhao Qingying sat in the main seat and smiled and nodded when she saw Shen Yanran arrive.

Then the meeting officially began.

"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to tell you that we're about to move into Xinrui Department Store, the number one department store in Haicheng. Feel free to share your thoughts," Zhao Qingying asked seriously, looking at everyone.

Marketing Manager Wang Yuan asked with a hint of doubt, "New Elite Department Store? Mr. Zhao, didn't you say last time that our cooperation with them didn't work out? How come you can move in so quickly?"

“Three days ago, the person in charge of the counter at Xinrui Department Store told me that they had canceled their cooperation with Gao’s, which is why they gave us this opportunity. So we must seize it.” Zhao Qingying never expected that their inconspicuous new company would be appreciated by a department store like Xinrui Department Store and be allowed to set up shop there.

"That's great! Xinrui Department Store is one of the largest department stores in Haicheng, with a large daily customer flow. If we can really secure a place there, our sales will definitely increase significantly," Sales Manager Song Ke confidently echoed.

Zhao Qingying felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. "That's true, but as you know, Fairy is a small company that has only been established for a short time. Naturally, we can't compare with the jewelry products of those well-known international companies. So if we really want to gain a foothold there, we have to find a way to increase our brand awareness."

"The best way to increase brand awareness is definitely to find celebrities to do publicity, but our company is small and doesn't have much influence, so it seems unlikely that we can get any big-name celebrities to endorse us..." Guan Wei, the publicity manager, said with a frown and a troubled look.

In fact, he had communicated with many celebrity agents in the entertainment industry, but when they saw that it was a jewelry company they had never even heard of, let alone discussed endorsements, they didn't even have the chance to meet.

Moreover, these days even a slightly famous celebrity can command tens of millions in endorsement fees, which their company simply cannot afford.

Zhao Qingying actually knows the benefits of having celebrities endorse products. Back when she was still a top-tier brand in China, many advertisers approached her to endorse their products, and she successfully became a sales queen, helping many of the companies she endorsed to increase their sales performance.

However, she has been developing her career abroad in recent years, while a new generation of beautiful and talented actresses has emerged in China, driving up endorsement fees to astronomical levels. It's unlikely she can now secure any big-name stars...

In the meeting room, everyone discussed for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

Shen Yanran was also helpless at this time, because apart from designing jewelry, she didn't know much about anything else and didn't dare to offer any opinions.

For some reason, someone suddenly started targeting Shen Yanran at this time. "President Zhao, I think we can start with design. I've heard that our designer Shen is very skilled. Why don't we have her design a new series first, and then try promoting it on our company website? If the market response is good, we'll have the resources to find celebrities to endorse it, right?"

The speaker was Liu Xinyi, a partner and vice president of the company sitting opposite Shen Yanran. She had always been Zhao Qingying's right-hand woman, but she had been away on a business trip for a while and only returned yesterday.

As soon as Liu Xinyi returned, she heard that Zhao Qingying had found a young designer from somewhere and put him in the chief position, which made the designers who had joined the company earlier quite resentful. However, they did not dare to mention it directly to Zhao Qingying, so they could only complain to Liu Xinyi, the vice president in charge of the design department.

This is also the main reason why Liu Xinyi targeted Shen Yanran as soon as she returned.

She really didn't know what was so special about this unknown and young designer, or whether he really had the unique design ability that Zhao Qingying said could help the company reach new heights.

Shen Yanran has always had her own ideas about design. She had prepared a series of designs long ago, all of which were styles she had carefully designed herself during her two years working at Gao's. However, she had never been valued and had never shown them to anyone.

So the first thing she did when she started working at Fairy Company was to take out all her previous designs, add some popular elements, and prepare to show them to Zhao Qingying when she had the chance.

So, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Shen Yanran was naturally not afraid of Liu Xinyi's request. "No problem, I can deliver a design proposal before I leave work today."

Zhao Qingying had seen Shen Yanran's designs firsthand and believed in her abilities. "Okay, the design work is now in your hands, Yanran. If you need anything, you can ask General Manager Liu. The other colleagues in the design department will also help you."

Shen Yanran smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will definitely live up to President Zhao's trust, and I also need the help of my colleagues in the design department and other departments."

Shen Yanran is beautiful and always speaks politely. Many people in the company have a good impression of her and are willing to help her.

However, some of Zhang Ye's former colleagues felt that Shen Yanran was not a good person. Zhang Ye had kindly taken her to her hotel to rest the night of the welcome ceremony, so why would she suddenly resign the very next day? There must be something fishy going on, but they couldn't contact Zhang Ye and didn't know what had happened...

The meeting lasted until noon.

As soon as the meeting ended, everyone, without even taking a lunch break, ordered a few takeout meals and went back to their work.

Shen Yanran returned to her office and devoted herself to design and creation, completely forgetting to eat.

When she finished her latest design, she realized it was already 4:30 pm, and she only had one hour left before she had to leave work. So she hurriedly took her design to Zhao Qingying's office.

However, Zhao Qingying was no longer in the office because she had social engagements.

So she sent her design drafts to Liu Xinyi's office again, "Ms. Liu, my design proposal is finished, please take a look."

Liu Xinyi was on the phone with a friend when she saw Shen Yanran come in. She simply nodded indifferently, indicating that Shen Yanran should just put the things on the table.

Seeing that she was busy, Shen Yanran didn't say anything more and put the file on her desktop.

After Shen Yanran left, Liu Xinyi continued on the phone, "Are you serious? You know Shen Yufei? That's great! Our company is looking for a spokesperson, and I think she's perfect. Could you help me make an appointment so I can meet her and discuss a collaboration?"
