Chen Ran’s anxiety eased slightly after hearing Tang Xiaowan’s words.
Although he was somewhat surprised by the sudden task and felt a certain amount of pressure, he also understood that this was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate his abilities.
Thus, Chen Ran’s gaze was like a torch, and he replied with a serious face, "Okay, I’ll go, no problem."
Tang Xiaowan nodded with satisfaction, "This new product is... very important for the company. You can report the progress to me at any time, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can also seek my help."
"Thank you... boss for your trust. I won’t let you down. I will give it my all!"
"Mhm, not bad, very good."
With that, Tang Xiaowan’s gaze swept over to the corner of the desk, where there was a thick leather file bag.
Chen Ran wasn’t foolish; he quickly stepped forward, picked it up, and then retreated back to his original position, standing next to Supervisor Gao.
"Feel free to make any suggestions."
Chen Ran: What does she mean? Does she want me to make requests, or is she going to promote me?
I dare not even if I have any!
At this moment, aside from Tang Xiaowan being the boss, one was the general manager and the other was a director; any of them had more clout than him.
"I have no suggestions, I will follow the boss’s arrangements," Chen Ran hastened to reply, not wanting to delay.
"Alright, you go ahead and be busy, I have something to explain to Chen Ran." Tang Xiaowan glanced toward Liu Yang, then Supervisor Gao.
The two of them nodded and swiftly left.
Chen Ran, left in the office, suddenly let out a sigh of relief. His anxiety faded somewhat, and he felt fortunate that he hadn’t spoken out of turn.
"Now that everyone’s gone, speak," Tang Xiaowan said with a sweet smile, sitting directly on the desk.
Chen Ran, seeing this, felt a surge of warmth.
"I definitely won’t have a problem attending the exchange meeting and I promise to complete the task. But... just in case negotiation or cooperation is needed, could you give me a definitive answer? Like... as long as it benefits the company, can I make any decision?"
Tang Xiaowan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You’re confident that companies will take interest in our product?"
"Of course, let me tell you, that’s the R&D team’s hard work of nearly half a year. When the initial design was submitted... I even went to seek Ye Feng, no, Mr. Ye. Of course, my design did have some issues, and Mr. Ye helped me resolve them one by one. So I firmly believe that a product Mr. Ye personally participated in would have no problems."
Chen Ran was too excited, forgetting that Tang Xiaowan was no longer the little apprentice who followed behind him, calling him Master; she was now the boss.
"Have you not checked what’s inside the file bag?" Tang Xiaowan reminded him with a smile.
"I know without looking, it’s certainly that..."
"Really? Well, why don’t you open it and see."
Filled with confidence, Chen Ran opened the file bag, and as he expected, it indeed contained the design drawings for the new product, along with related materials.
However, there was an additional Post-it note.
[In view of Chen Ran’s outstanding performance at work, he is hereby appointed as Marketing Department Manager.]
"This is something I wrote offhand, it’s a bit rough, but I still need to consult your opinion. If you agree to leave the R&D department... and move to the marketing department, the appointment letter can be issued very soon." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꜰire.net
After finishing, Tang Xiaowan still sat casually on the desk.
But Chen Ran was completely shocked.
"What, you’re not willing? Oh, alright, then forget I said anything, you can continue..."
"I am willing, I’m more than willing!" Chen Ran clenched his fists excitedly, responding loudly, "I will make sure our new product stands out! I will go all out to seize all cooperation opportunities and won’t overlook any potential clients."
"Chen Ran, do you know? On the day I reported to the company, you were the first person to approach and talk to me on your own, very warmly. So later, when Supervisor Gao asked, I chose you to be my mentor."
At that, a hearty laugh suddenly filled the room.
"Opportunities are made by you. You know how to sell yourself, so I believe the product will not have any problems too."
Tang Xiaowan smiled as she got up from the desk, her gaze tenderly continuing, "Gold will always shine. Your design concept may have flaws, but you still submitted proposal after proposal to the design team, which is excellent! Persistent quality... is very important for the company, especially now."
"Thank you, Xiao Wan, no, boss!"
"Of course, I didn’t keep you back just to pep talk you, but there’s another situation that I need to tell you about in advance."
Chen Ran immediately became serious, intently looking at Tang Xiaowan, "What situation?"
"You’ve heard of Yishen Pharmaceutical, haven’t you?"
"Yes, I know. But they are in the pharmaceutical business. Boss, are you suggesting... they also want to enter the medical device market and compete with us?"
Tang Xiaowan nodded, "Smart!"
"Understood, boss. Rest assured, I will not let them succeed. But, um... boss, do we have any relevant materials?"
"There’s none, you’ll have to figure it out on your own."
After finishing, Tang Xiaowan left with a smile.
