Chapter 40 - If No One Is Willing, You Can’t Force Me
Yao Xiu walked into the President's office after finishing his work.
Han Yuanjun looked up. "Liang Zixuan didn't come late to the meeting, did she?"
"Nope." Yao Xiu licked his lips and carefully looked at him. "I went to check on her. Yu Lian said something bad about her to everyone yesterday, so Liang Zixuan was ignored by the HR staff this morning. I don't think her job will go smoothly now."
Han Yuanjun's face sank. "Yu Lian? What did she say?"
Yao Xiu took a deep breath before saying, "She said...She said that Liang Zixuan went to your office without your permission and wanted to take advantage of her job."
He didn't dare tell Han Yuanjun about how Yu Lian accused Liang Zixuan of seducing him. He wanted to remain in his job. He wanted to work f*cking hard for a few more years!
This Yu Lian was so stupid. What did she mean by bringing him down as well?
Sure enough, once Han Yuanjun finished listening, not only was he not angry, he also looked a little happy.
He put down the pen in his hand and stood up. "Qin Yu doesn't have class this morning, is she? Get her here and ask her to follow me to the HR department for a meeting."
You can go by yourself, but why do you have to drag Qin Yu along?

In the conference room, once Liang Zixuan finished introducing herself, Zhu Sheng started to introduce each department heads to her.
When the process was over, he said, "The company will give Liang Zixuan a single studio that will not be shared with anyone. She should finish writing all ten songs for Qin Yu's album in a month."
When these words were spoken, the expressions of the department heads turned ugly. Even the faces of those musicians with some experience turned ugly.
As a newcomer, Liang Zixuan owned her own studio as soon as she entered the company.
In Han Group Media, no more than ten people had their own studios. Lots of them had to share.
Moreover, most of them were already famous, yet they didn't have their own studios.
Pop music director Wu Xinya, asked with a cold face. "Director Zhu, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Before Liang Zixuan joined the company, I never heard her name. When she joined the company, she received treatment like this, which would make many seniors feel uncomfortable."
Of course, Zhu Sheng knew that not only Wu Xinya, but even everyone present felt uncomfortable.
He said expressionlessly, "This isn't because I want to give her special treatment. This is an order from higher-ups! Liang Zixuan has full authority over Qin Yu's album, and this album needs to be done within a month. If you all have any complaints, keep them in your heart. If you can't stand it, then complain to the President!"
What's the point of complaining to him?
Wu Xinya closed her mouth and glared at Liang Zixuan.
She was upset, but she didn't have the guts to complain to Han Yuanjun.
Realizing that no one wants to talk anymore, Zhu Sheng added, "Time is of the essence. Liang Zixuan needs two assistants now, it's too late for us to recruit new people. Which of you is willing to be her assistant?"
The conference room was full of a hundred-odd people, yet no one said a word.
It's impossible for a proper musician to lower themselves to be her assistant.
Liang Zixuan let out a faint laugh and said to Zhu Sheng, "Director Zhu, why don't you just recruit a new person? If they can enter the company within a week, we should be able to complete the album on time."
Zhu Sheng's face turned ashen as he glanced at those people. "Even though Liang Zixuan is a newcomer, I think you all know the importance that the company attaches to Qin Yu. Is there really no one willing to help her?"
It was unknown if it was because of Zhu Sheng's words, but a girl sitting in the corner raised her hand, "I'm willing!"
She sat too close in the back, so Zhu Sheng had to support his body a little so that he could see her clearly.
When he finally saw her, he nodded contentedly. "Very good. Zeng Zhelan, from today onwards, you will work as Liang Zixuan's assistant."
Those who were unwilling all turned to look at Zeng Zhelan with mockery filled their eyes.
Zeng Zhelan stood up and bowed politely towards Liang Zixuan. This girl was very cute and well-behaved. She was not that tall and had a round face. Liang Zixuan liked her from first sight.
Zhu Sheng turned to look at Xiang Zedong. His back immediately stiffened as he asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Director Zhu, you are not going to ask me to be Liang Zixuan's assistant, will you?"
"Of course not." Zhu Sheng smiled. "You have four assistants and you don't have anything urgent to do. Why don't you give Xie Yin to Liang Zixuan and recruit new people?"
When Xie Yin heard it, her scalp almost exploded. She was so angry that she almost stood up. "Director Zhu, if no one is willing, you can't force me! I don't agree!"
Xiang Zedong then shrugged his shoulders arrogantly, "Director Zhu, you saw it too. It's not that I don't want to give Xie Yin to her, it's because she doesn't want to!"
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the conference room.
Shi Tianjian stood up to open the door. When she saw two people outside, she called out in surprise, "President Han, Miss Qin."
When the people inside heard her, they immediately sat up straight and looked toward the door in unison.
Qin Yu smiled. "I heard that Liang Zixuan came to report today. I want to see her studio and get to know her colleagues."
Shi Tianjian immediately made a way, inviting Han Yuanjun and Qin Yu in.
Zhu Sheng stood up, wanting to give his seat to Han Yuanjun.
Han Yuanjun shook his head, "No need. I will not participate in this meeting. I am here to accompany Qin Yu to look around. We can just stand here and watch."
He said to stand by and watch, but why was the pressure in the room so heavy?
Shi Tianjian immediately moved two chairs for them to sit.
Zhu Sheng understood their intentions. At this point, his gaze swept over the circle of people. He suddenly asked with a meaningful smile, "For one last time, who is willing to be Liang Zixuan's assistant?"
At the same time, all the people raised their hands and shouted, "I'm willing!"
What kind of nonsense question was this? Anyone with a brain can tell that as long as they followed Liang Zixuan, they will be able to approach Qin Yu. Han Yuanjun was so appreciative of her that he accompanied her in this meeting.
No one was stupid.
Zhu Sheng was immediately amused by the situation. "When I asked previously, none of you were willing. This is going to be difficult for me."
Xie Yin was afraid someone would take this opportunity from her, so she stood up and said, "Director Zhu, didn't you say you would let me go? Don't make things difficult, I'll go!"
It was as if she wasn't the one who had just rejected Liang Zixuan.
After seeing Han Yuanjun and Qin Yu, she immediately changed her words.
In front of Han Yuanjun, Zhu Sheng didn't know what to say, so he asked Liang Zixuan, "What do you think? Do you want someone to help you?"
