Chapter 285 - Her husband is powerful

As soon as Wan Jia entered the conference room, she was pleasantly surprised as her colleagues flashed smiles at her.

"Designer Wan, congratulations for hitting so many sales. For the first time in many years, 34% of EFW's monthly income came from one series. You have broken Designer Shen's record of 31% five years ago."

Elite Fashion World was such a huge company with very many designers. For it to receive at least 20% of income from one employee, that employee must have worked twice harder than the others. 34% was much more shocking.

"Mr. CEO, you are too kind. Everyone worked hard." Wan Jia did not want to snug all the praise to her. The sales wouldn't rise that high if she was in another company.

"Don't be too humble. This time, even the prominent figures in the nation were flooding my email. Your creation's value rose dramatically because of this."

"I held a meeting with the company's heads, and we all agreed that you should be promoted to the position of EFW's top designer."

Wan Jia couldn't hide her amazement. She had been promoted?

Everyone clapped. Except the current top designer who had just been stripped of his post.

He had no one to blame, however. The position of the top designer was very competitive. It had nothing to do with being permanent; it was all about being creative and constantly hardworking. Wan Jia had worked very hard for the past few months and her hard work had finally payed off.

When Shen broke someone else's record five years ago, he had been promoted to this post. He never would have thought that someone else would break his record. Never mind that the position was now gone. Did it have to be a woman?

As they left the conference room, he found Wan Jia to speak beside her ear with a fake smile. "You will not hold to it for long."

Wan Jia also shot him a fake smile. "It's too early to tell."

...

As soon as she entered her office, Su Ling smiled at her warmly. "Congratulations Boss. You worked hard for it."

She had yet to reply when Lu Aotian knocked and entered her office. "Top Designer Wan, congratulations." He had a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

"You already found out?"

"Every decision has to go through me. I found out before you did."

She received the flowers and hugged him. As usual, Su Ling had slipped away as soon as Lu Aotian appeared.

...

Outside, Su Ling was also receiving hugs and flowers.

"Thank you, what's the occasion?"

"Your promotion." Lu Shaoting smiled.

"When have I been promoted?"

"Just now. Aren't you now the top designer's assistant?"

Well, he was right. She had overlooked it herself.

Although they wanted to spend more time together, Lu Shaoting had to rush back to Lu Enterprises. He had a meeting in half an hour. "Honey, let's go for lunch together today, alright?"

Su Ling nodded. "Let's go somewhere nearby. I know my boss will be busier than usual and I should help her. I can't spend too much time on lunch."

Lu Shaoting thought of something else. "Don't you want to find another job? Do you want to be an assistant forever?"

Su Ling had never thought of this. "What's wrong with my current job?"

"Nothing's wrong with it, but there are currently quite a number of vacancies in Lu Enterprises. I can help you get a post."

Su Ling did not expect her boyfriend to say such a thing. "If I'm not going to get it using my own abilities, it is much better to remain in Elite Fashion World and help my boss. Besides, I feel like I owe her a life. Back then no one wanted to employ me. If boss rejected me too, wouldn't I become a beggar?

In this lifetime, I should forever work for her. If she doesn't need me anymore, only then would I find another job."

Lu Shaoting was speechless. If she put it that way, he would let her be. Though it was such a pity. One of the department managers was about to retire. If he could train her for that position, it would be very nice.

…

Lu Aotian left Elite Fashion World after congratulating and kissing his wife. As he exited the building, a designer saw him and her mouth twitched.

"I was wondering how come that Wan Jia progressed so fast. How could I forget? She is President Lu's wife."

Her friend nudged her. "Don't say that. Wan Jia is hardworking. You have to admit that all her dresses are beautiful."

"That's what you all think. Think of it this way. If you let President Lu advertise your designs, wouldn't your sales soar to the sky?"

"If you had her advertise your dresses, their sales would soar too. It's not her fault that she is very beautiful and has an equally beautiful family. Why don't you post yours?"

The designer was annoyed. "You don't get the point. Designer Shen has been working hard for years. How can he be toppled by the newest designer?"

"Who said new designers can't be talented?"

"You're being ridiculous. Why are you so supportive of your competitor? Anyway the point is; I don't think she does her designs on her own. Her husband is powerful enough to hire a talented designer behind the scenes, you know? He can even buy over those powerful figures to elevate his wife's work."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I can't stand people slandering my goddess."

"Hey, don't go."

The woman was angry that her colleague did not listen to her. Coincidentally, she saw Su Ling leaving the elevator. Seizing the chance, she rushed in front of her. "Hey, Su Ling."
