"You brat, I know what you're thinking!"
Li Ping gave Jiang Yi a sideways glance.
"It's not that you don't know how to manage a company, but that you find it troublesome and don't want to be the chairman."
"Something like that!" Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
He really did dislike trouble.
Managing such a large company involved a lot of work, likely from morning till night with no time for rest.
This kind of life was unbearable for Jiang Yi.
"Mom, I don't want you to be so tired every day. How about this, I'll pick the most capable among Shen Lu, Dong Rui, and Chen Kun to be the chairman!" Jiang Yi said.
"That won't do. The position of chairman is extremely crucial. How can it be given to an outsider?"
Li Ping said, "Since you're unwilling to be the chairman, I'll continue to be the chairman. In a few years, I'll hand the position back to you!"
Jiang Yi had no choice but to agree.
"You should pay more attention to Dongfang Mei. She's pregnant and works so hard every day. Even if she's fine, the child in her womb can't take it!" Li Ping said.
Jiang Yi was also worried about Dongfang Mei.
"Find some time to persuade her not to get involved with the Dongfang family's affairs and to stay home and rest," Li Ping said.
"Okay!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
Jiang Yi knew that his mother's concern wasn't really for Dongfang Mei, but for the child in Dongfang Mei's womb.
"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll head out," Jiang Yi said.
"There's one more thing!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and said, "You're working at Tiansheng Group now, so you need to have a position. How about this, you'll be the deputy manager of the Project Department, with Shen Lu as the manager. From now on, all company cooperation projects and various contracts will be handled by you!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Yi nodded and agreed!
Then, Jiang Yi said goodbye and left the office.
In the corridor outside, Jiang Yi ran into Shen Lu.
"What did the chairman just say to you?" Shen Lu asked curiously.
"My mom said she's appointing me as the deputy manager of the Project Department, and I'll be working with you to handle all company projects and various contracts," Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Shen Lu's face showed a hint of helplessness.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Our company has to negotiate quite a few projects every day. Not only do we have to negotiate projects, but we also have to follow up on them. Our Project Department has been recruiting people, and now there are nearly three hundred people in our department alone."
"But even with so many people, our department is still overwhelmed every day, and we have to work overtime daily!"
Shen Lu said, "Besides company matters, you also have to deal with Wan Hui Company. You'll be even busier than us then."
Jiang Yi was stunned!
If he had known the Project Department was this busy, he would have refused earlier.
It wasn't that he wanted to be lazy, but that he simply couldn't handle it all.
Once he got busy, he wouldn't be able to do anything properly.
"The most troublesome work in the Project Department is negotiating projects and cooperation. Even a simple contract can sometimes take several days to finalize, wasting time and consuming energy," Shen Lu said.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"From now on, I'll take on the most difficult projects and contracts to negotiate! Perhaps my speed will be much faster, saving a lot of time!" Jiang Yi said.
"Alright, if you can successfully negotiate three projects and contracts every day, you'll be a great help to us," Shen Lu said.
"Then it's decided!" Jiang Yi said.
"It's still early today. In two hours, there's another contract to negotiate. This contract has wasted a full month of our time. If you can finalize it today, our day's work will be almost done!" Shen Lu said.
"Give me the documents, and I'll go negotiate!" Jiang Yi said.
Shen Lu nodded and handed the documents to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi took the documents back to his office and spent half an hour familiarizing himself with the contract details.
When he was almost ready, Jiang Yi drove to the Royal Hotel.
Most of Tiansheng Group's projects and contracts were negotiated at the Royal Hotel.
This was naturally to support the Royal Hotel's business and to enhance its reputation.
Currently, Tiansheng Group and the Dongfang family cooperated in many areas.
Today alone, Jiang Yi had already been to the Royal Hotel twice!
During this period, Jiang Yi basically had to go to the Royal Hotel every day.
An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the Royal Hotel again.
This time, the partner for the contract was a pharmaceutical company.
This company had four or five pharmaceutical production companies in the capital. Tiansheng Group needed this company to help produce a large batch of medicines, which were one of Tiansheng Group's main sources of income.
The other party clearly understood Tiansheng Group's profits and wanted to take advantage of the situation, demanding higher processing fees.
When Jiang Yi entered the private room, he found that the company's Boss Xue had personally come and was waiting for him in the room.
"Hello, may I ask if you are Boss Xue?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Indeed!"
Boss Xue nodded and then asked Jiang Yi, "Sir, what should I call you?"
"My name is Jiang Yi, and I am the deputy manager of Tiansheng Group's Project Department. I am the person in charge of this cooperation!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi sat down and looked at Boss Xue.
"Now let's discuss the details of our cooperation. After we finish, if both parties have no objections, we will sign the cooperation agreement and officially begin," he said.
"Mr. Jiang, there's no need to rush. Let's wait a few minutes! Someone is still missing. Once everyone is here, we can talk," Boss Xue said.
"Who else are we waiting for?" Jiang Yi asked.
"You'll know soon." Boss Xue said.
Jiang Yi had already guessed that it was someone from another pharmaceutical company. Since Tiansheng Group's rapid growth, it had begun to require more drug production, thus needing more pharmaceutical factories to cooperate with.
Moreover, with Ye Yanran having just founded a pharmaceutical company, many pharmaceutical factories had become highly sought after, with orders exceeding supply.
Currently, in the pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical factories were the most popular.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, the private room door was pushed open. When Jiang Yi saw the person's appearance, he was stunned!
The person who arrived was none other than Ye Yanran.
Jiang Yi hadn't expected his competitor to be Ye Yanran.
Nor had he expected Ye Yanran to come personally.
When Ye Yanran saw Jiang Yi, she was also taken aback.
"Mr. Jiang, Miss Ye, you know each other?" Boss Xue couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yi did not speak.
Ye Yanran, on the other hand, had a cold expression.
Seeing that no one responded, Boss Xue felt a bit awkward.
