Chapter 896: Operations Department Deputy Director, Song Yuwei Gets Promoted_3

Song Yuwei was always looking forward to it.

However, it hadn’t even been a year and a half before he fulfilled his promise.

Speaking of which, knowing Su Zelin well, he’s quick with everything except in bed.

Just like back then, he promised to buy a house within two years, but he bought West Lake. Impression Wind and Moon in less than a year, one of Lin’an’s best developments.

This time, he fulfilled his promise early again.

“Deputy Director Song, why don’t you say a few words.”

Su Zelin said with a smile.

Song Yuwei snapped back to reality, filled with excitement.

Although the news came unexpectedly, without any mental preparation, given her experience, even without a prepared script, she could improvise quite well.

So, Song stood up: “I’m honored to be appointed Deputy Director of the Operations Department. Honestly, many people here have the qualifications and ability to hold this position, but since the company leaders and the boss have such trust and affection for me, I will give it my all, fulfill my duties to the best of my ability, and hope everyone will support us in future work as we strive to progress together. Thank you!”

Applause rang out once again.

There wasn’t any objection to Song Yuwei being appointed Deputy Director, as truly no one in the Operations Department was more qualified than her, with such seniority being few and far between, not to mention her abilities. Song Yuwei was alone in that regard.

Song Yuwei also had excellent relationships within the company. If another high-level manager from a different company were parachuted in, the employees of the Operations Department might have some opinions.

After announcing the two matters, the meeting was adjourned.

Su Zelin never drags things out, and this holds true for meetings.

Because he never holds meetings arbitrarily and usually keeps them brief unless there’s a significant problem within the company, necessitating a long meeting to reinforce discipline.

“Deputy Director Song, congratulations!”

The employees immediately congratulated her.

Song Yuwei naturally couldn’t stop smiling, filled with joy.

Moving from a female assistant to a deputy director isn’t just a big promotion with a salary increase; it’s a fundamental change from a white-collar worker to a high-level executive.

Starting now, she’s one of New Era’s executives, holding real power.

After saying goodbye to the others, she headed to Su Zelin’s office.

Though Su Zelin hasn’t been working overtime recently, he usually stays in his office for about fifteen minutes after work, checking the news and chatting on QQ. Song Yuwei is well aware of his habits.

“Boss, thank you for this wonderful surprise!”

Song Yuwei was in great spirits.

Su Zelin smiled: “Haha, I promised you before, and with the ‘Thousand Counties Plan’ soon to be implemented, I can’t handle everything alone. The Operations Department can’t function without a deputy director, and it’s not just our department; many senior positions will have deputies!”

“However, being a deputy director isn’t easy. You’ll need to do more. You’ll be running around the country for business trips and some matters will require you to make decisions independently without consulting me for everything.”

He said seriously.

The role between a female assistant and a deputy director is vastly different.

As a female assistant, Song Yuwei’s role was to assist Su Zelin in handling matters, but almost all documents required his review and final approval with the Operations Department’s seal.

However, as a deputy director, she now has the authority to use the seal, which challenges her decision-making and judgment skills.

“Yes, I know. I’m confident that I’ll do well!”

Song Yuwei’s eyes shone brightly.

She’s not afraid of challenges, quite the opposite; she’s somewhat ambitious.

She’s actually quite attracted to power.

Besides, the greater her power, the more stable her position beside Su Zelin.

“And in two years, I’ll give you a gift!”

Su Zelin suddenly recalled something.

He often engaged in creating expectations to keep his girlfriend intrigued.

“What gift?”

Song Yuwei asked with interest.

“Well, it’s a secret for now. But I promise you’ll love it.”

Su Zelin teased her, piquing her curiosity and anticipation.

If the boss says so, then the gift must be very special.

But she already has a house and a car, and she’s the deputy director of the Operations Department, a position unlikely to surpass the boss. What could the gift be?

As they spoke, someone walked into the office, and it was Qin Shiqing.

“Yuwei, I heard you became the deputy director of the Operations Department?”

Qin Shiqing asked as she entered.

As a market analyst belonging to the Marketing Department, she had just learned about Song Yuwei’s promotion from other colleagues.

“Yes, thanks to the affection and trust from the leadership!”

Song Yuwei laughed.

“Yuwei, congratulations!”

Qin Shiqing was genuinely happy for her.

Previously, Su Zelin had mentioned to her that the company would be adding deputy positions across the board, and at that time she had a premonition that her good friend would be the deputy director of the Operations Department.

Thinking it over, there really wasn’t anyone more suitable than her.

“Shiqing, thanks, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off!”

Before leaving the office, Song Yuwei turned back and gave a sly, suggestive look.

At this point, Qin Shiqing was turned away and didn’t see any of it.

Su Zelin caught on immediately.

Song Yuwei was so happy about becoming the deputy director of the Operations Department that, in light of her recent “Boss” exclamation, he’d have to find an excuse to sneak out for a drink tonight.

In the evening, at West Lake. Impression Wind and Moon residential complex.

After dinner, Song Yuwei lazily soaked in her large bathtub, basking in perfect-temperature water that caressed her snow-white body. Her eyes were half-open, savoring the most relaxing moment of the day.

Beside the bathtub lay her Sony Ericsson S700c phone, a product launched last October with a 180-degree swivel dual-side design. Its built-in 1.3-megapixel CCD camera was favored by female consumers, priced at over five thousand, featuring top-notch specs.

The phone was dialing a number on speakerphone.

After a few rings, the voice of her younger sister, Song Yutong, came through: “Hey, big sis!”

University seniors have practically reached graduation season, but those below senior year haven’t yet gone on break. They’ll have to wait until the end of June. Song Yutong was still at school.

“Yutong, guess what, your big sis was appointed deputy director of the New Era Operations Department today!”

Song Yuwei bluntly shared the news.

She and her sister were completely open with each other, naturally sharing the good news.

“Wow, really, sis? So aren’t you now second only to Brother Ze in the Operations Department?”

Song Yutong exclaimed with joy.

“Haha, it’s not that exaggerated. Our Operations Department doesn’t have thousands of people, but you can say your big sis is now among the executive ranks and will be handling many affairs for New Era!”

Song Yuwei spoke with a little pride.

“Sis, you’re amazing, a true winner in life!”

Song Yutong praised her.

“Meeting someone influential is important. Otherwise, no matter how hard I work, I may just have the fate of a minor employee.”

Song Yuwei always felt that meeting Su Zelin was the luckiest event of her life. Otherwise, she’d still be selling cars at Shenghai’s Volkswagen dealership, with no claim to her current status.

The sisters were chatting when the bathroom door suddenly swung open, startling Song Yuwei, but upon seeing the unexpected guest’s face, her heart was immediately at ease.

West Lake. Impression Wind and Moon’s security measures are reliable given the steep maintenance fees, coupled with a top-grade burglar-proof door.

Besides her, only two people had a key.

One was her conversation partner, Song Yutong, and the other was, of course, Su Zelin.

“Sis, what’s that noise?”

Her sister on the other end of the call heard it too.

“It’s nothing. I’m finished with my bath, Yutong. I’ll chat with you later!”

Song Yuwei quickly hung up the call, her eyes filled with a coyness as she gazed at her visitor.

“Oh, you scared me, coming in here like a ghost, and while I was talking to Yutong!”

“Then I’ll head outside; you continue your call.”

Su Zelin pretended to leave, but was held back by a soft, rounded arm like lotus root.

In the bathroom, the sound of water splashes quickly filled the air.
