Chapter 453 - How to adress her?

Su Ling was shocked too. Vice CEO? Just out of thin air? 

"Si...CEO Wan, I don't deserve it."  She said busconsciously. She thought Wan Jia was doing this because they were both the Lu brothers' women.

Wan Jia was pleased by her humility. "You totally do. You were so hardworking as my assistant that I felt you were too good for the job. You deserve much better." 

Against this point, no one could retaliate. The new designers like Lin Ye and Xia Rou did not know much about Su Ling's work but those from EFW like Xiao Rong knew it. Su Ling was indeed so hardworking that when she was no longer Xiao Rong's assistant, the latter was unwilling to let her go. 

But, such rare people should be let off so they can be where they deserve to be, like in the Vice CEO's office of MAX. 

Since Wan Jia thought she deserved it due to her own qualifications, Su Ling had nothing more to be stubborn about. 

She stood and gave a deep bow to Wan Jia. "Thank you CEO Wan, I will do my best and not let you and the company down." 

Wan Jia did not expect such a move and was momentarily stunned. She then flashed a smile. "You are too courteous. Since you are now the Vice CEO, come and sit on my right." 

Su Ling was still taking in her promotion and was caught offguard by the new instruction. Without wasting time, she went ahead and sat beside Wan Jia, feeling on top of the world. 

She had dreams, but never in her life had she thought that she would be a Vice CEO.

Actually, all this time when Wan Jia said nothing about her job, she had thought that she would be Wan Jia's personal assistant. 

There was nothing wrong with being Wan Jia's assistant; she loved working for her after all, it was just that this was on a whole new level. 

Wan Jia flashed her eyes around, then her gaze landed on Xia Rou. She simply shook her head. Her mother actually wanted to work for her brand as a normal designer? Why did it make her feel like she was sinning? Was there anyone who would employ their own mother? Why was she here anyway?

It couldn't be because she needed money, she had a lot of it. She had been making designs privately after all. Not only that, Lin Industries was back on its feet and was gaining immense profit. What would she need money for? 

Besides, she would have agreed to be the top designer if it was about money. 

It was not because she had nothing to do either; because if so, she would have worked for Lin Industries. 

Whatever it was, it felt strange. Wan Jia had tried to convince her against it in vain. She could only let her be. 

As for Lin Ye, he was now MAX's top designer. 

Someone asked, "CEO Wan, what's with the acronym MAX? What does it mean?" 

The person who asked was Xia Rou. 

Forget about the nature of the question. Did her mother really have to address her as "CEO"? It made her feel extremely self conscious. 

And how exactly was she supposed to address her? Miss Xia? Mrs. Lin? Mom? 

Ignoring the awkwardness, she explained that those were the first letters of the names of the people she loved the most. Xia Rou couldn't help feeling warm in her heart. 

After the meeting that was almost casual, Wan Jia found her mother. "Mom, what's the meaning of this exactly?" 

Xia Rou knew that for the umpteenth time, she was asking about why she was working for her. 

She had been asked this question by everyone, including Lin Lihua and Lin Zhou. She could only laugh and tell her. "I missed out on very many years of your life. I only want to spend more time with you." 

Also, she would not accept a top position when she was only here for her daughter. It would be unjust to those who deserved it more. 

Wan Jia was currently stunned. She had been spending little time with her mother lately. 

One had to know that since getting engaged, Lin Lihua spent most of her free time helping her fiancé out so Le Blanc Group's headquarters could be moved to Country C sooner. 

Also, some of her newbie artists needed extra attention. She rarely went back home. Xia Rou now spent all her time designing and missing her daughters. They had become so scarce lately. 

"We'll be home for dinner tonight." Wan Jia smiled. 

Xia Rou was overjoyed. "Really? I'll make your favorite meals for dinner and the strawberry croissants that you love so much." 

The mother and daughter pair wanted to chat more but they both had things to do. They parted temporarily. 

...

Later, Lin Ye brought his drafts for the spring season to Wan Jia's office. 

Wan Jia looked through all of them and was rendered speechless. 

It was worth noting that Lin Ye had already ventured into business. Fashion designing could be considered as half a passtime to him. 

For his designs to be this good, just how talented was he? 

For the first time, there were designs that made Wan Jia almost feel  inferior. 

"CEO, these are the best designs I've ever made. I put all my heart in them." Lin Ye explained, making Wan Jia finally understand. 

He had put all his heart in them, no wonder they were so perfect. 

"Then should I thank you or what?" Wan Jia had already figured that the man probably needed a favor. He wouldn't spend all his effort simply to suck up to her.

"Ahem..." Lin Ye coughed. "I just need you to tell me her whereabouts."
