316: Chapter 312: Giving This Marriage Another Chance 316: Chapter 312: Giving This Marriage Another Chance Ye Fan knocked on the door and entered Li Zhaojun’s office.

Li Zhaojun’s fingers were flying across her keyboard, clattering away at the keys.

When she lifted her eyes and saw it was Ye Fan, she continued to type without interruption.

Seeing that Li Zhaojun still treated him with the same aloof disdain as before, Ye Fan silently shook his head, walked over to the sofa, and sat down, crossing his legs confidently.

He didn’t immediately bring up the matter at hand.

Instead, he took out his phone and started browsing the internet.

If you’re too busy, I can wait until you’re free.

After all, I’ve got plenty of time to kill.

About two or three minutes later, Ye Fan heard the relentless tapping of the keyboard finally cease, followed by the whirring sound of the printer spitting out documents.

After a while, the sound of slender high heels tapping against the marble floor approached from a distance, accompanied by a faint, delicate fragrance.

Ye Fan looked up and saw Li Zhaojun sitting gracefully on the sofa opposite him, her gaze fixed on him.

“Here are the details of your new job responsibilities.

Make sure you memorize them,” Li Zhaojun said as she handed over a sheet of A4 paper fresh from the printer.

Ye Fan glanced at the paper and then looked up to meet Li Zhaojun’s gaze, disregarding the supposed “new job responsibilities.”

“Did I ever say I accepted the transfer?” Ye Fan said lightly.

Li Zhaojun’s elegant eyebrows rose slightly as she asked, “You’re not willing?”

“Of course, I’m not,” Ye Fan replied.

Li Zhaojun placed the job responsibilities on the coffee table and resumed her dignified, noble posture.

She spoke calmly, “This is a corporate decision.

As an employee of the company, unless you can prove that the new position will cause physical harm or obstruct your personal freedom, you have no right to refuse.”

“Heh, you sure know how to talk like a bureaucrat,” Ye Fan said with a hint of a smile.

“But, you know, I can also resign.”

Having said that, he held Li Zhaojun’s beautiful gaze.

Li Zhaojun’s lovely eyes immediately showed a hint of contemptuous disdain as she coldly said, “Resorting to resignation as a threat at the slightest dissatisfaction.

Dropping your responsibilities whenever things don’t go your way.

I thought you had some sense of duty, but it turns out you are no different.

If you want to resign, I won’t regret it.”

After that, she shifted her gaze away, no longer looking directly at Ye Fan.

Damn!

I’ve just been verbally backhanded.

Ye Fan nonchalantly shrugged and stood up to leave.

As he reached the door, he heard Li Zhaojun’s cold voice behind him, “Stop right there!”

Ye Fan stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn around.

“The ‘Ji Fei Qing Hua’ patent affair indeed received your assistance, but don’t assume that you can rest on your laurels because of it.

If you think that I, Li Zhaojun, will grovel and fawn over you from now on, you’re dreaming!”

“Moving you to a new position was to give us both a chance to start over.

If you don’t appreciate it, I certainly won’t insist,” Li Zhaojun said, her beautiful face cold as frost.

Despite admitting a hint of regret to Ye Fan, she did so upright and without a trace of shame or embarrassment.

Ye Fan turned back around to face Li Zhaojun.

She was dressed in an OL suit, tall and slender, with her black, lustrous hair swept up into an efficient style, revealing a neck as graceful and beautiful as a swan’s, her stunning face cold, her expression stern, and her bright eyes firmly fixed ahead.

Beautiful, strong, proud, noble…

These words involuntarily rose in Ye Fan’s mind.

Li Zhaojun’s words made him carefully consider his next move.

If he stubbornly walked out of the office now, the connection between him and Li Zhaojun might indeed come to an end.

Well, let’s be magnanimous.

She’s already made a concession.

There’s no need to be petty.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan said, “I don’t like doing trifling and complicated clerical work, so let’s not change my job position.

If you’re willing, I’ll move back to the villa tomorrow.”

“No way,” Li Zhaojun said, her frosty expression thawing slightly.

Ye Fan walked back and sat down on the sofa, “Then what do you want to do?”

Li Zhaojun also sat back down and said, “Stop thinking about moving back into the villa.”

“So I can only accept the position of the Chairman’s special assistant then?” Ye Fan said helplessly, “You should know that I’m not working at your group because of the job.”

Li Zhaojun spoke indifferently, “You’re making assumptions about the new position without even looking at the job description, don’t you think that’s too rash?”

Ye Fan glanced at the white paper in front of Li Zhaojun.

Li Zhaojun reached out, picked up the job description, and handed it over.

Ye Fan took it, looked it over, and nodded in satisfaction; the job description was tailored just for him.

The most important point was that he had the right to unreasonably refuse any work task.

In other words, as the Chairman’s assistant, he could do the work if he wanted to, and there would be no problem if he didn’t want to do it.

Additionally, he didn’t need to ask for special leave from Li Zhaojun when he needed to go out during work hours.

While Ye Fan was carefully reading the job description, Li Zhaojun said, “Your office is next to mine, shared with Wang Siyan.”

“Hehe, this position isn’t bad.

I accept,” Ye Fan laughed.

Li Zhaojun gave a slight nod and then spoke seriously, “Since both of us are willing to give this marriage another chance, I hope we can both reflect on ourselves.

If I’m still disappointed with your behavior, if it still disgusts me, we will still get a divorce in a month and a half.”

“So the marital crisis isn’t over.

Alright, let’s give it another month and a half.

If we still can’t see eye to eye by then, there’s no need to continue,” Ye Fan responded.

After saying this, Ye Fan stood up, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

“One hour from now, come move your things up here; you start this morning,” Li Zhaojun instructed, “I will have your desk prepared for you.”

Ye Fan replied, “Got it,” and then left Li Zhaojun’s office.

Back in his own office, Hu Jing immediately came up to him, anxiously asking, “How did it go?

Did Director Li agree?”

“Hehe, what do you think?” Ye Fan said with a light smile.

Hu Jing’s face fell, “Given Director Li’s personality, she surely wouldn’t agree.”

“Yup.

I have to report for duty this morning, move my things in an hour,” said Ye Fan.

Hu Jing remarked, “Director Li is indeed swift and decisive.

Hehe, Ye Fan, congratulations on your promotion.

From now on, it’s not you who should be currying favor with me, but me with you.”

“Haha, what are you talking about?

Didn’t you say we’re friends?

There’s no currying favor between friends,” Ye Fan laughed.

Hu Jing couldn’t help but smile, casting Ye Fan a playful glance and giggling, “Giggle, at least you have a bit of conscience.”

Pausing, she asked, “You promised me a meal earlier, when are you going to fulfill that?

Tonight?”

“Tonight won’t work, the sudden promotion has me feeling a bit complicated.

How about tomorrow?” Ye Fan said.

“Okay.

But you can’t invite anyone else if you’ve promised to take me out, you’re only allowed to invite me,” Hu Jing stated.

Ye Fan nodded with a smile.
