Offer To The CEO

659 Christmas Plans or Christmas Pains? - Part 3

Wednesday, continued …

Heading in the opposite direction to Hou Yi and Anna who were leaving to head to Hou Enterprises, James asked reception for the directions to the director of nursing's office. When he arrived, there was a young woman on duty outside, who was surprised to see a young man asking to speak to her boss.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

A few minutes later the door of the director's office opened, and James was quickly ushered in. Siting as directed when the door was shut James said, "Thank you for taking the time to see me."

"Mr Jones, it is my pleasure. Yes, your brother-in-law might have forced the recommendation with the head of medical services for me to see you, but after I had your information and was able to verify it.? I can easily say I have no issues. You are clearly a well-qualified nurse, despite having only just graduated and we cannot pass up the opportunity to meet someone who would easily fit within the hospital. Do you have an idea about specialisation?"

"As to specialisation no. At this point of time in my career me intention was to spend a couple of years working as a general nurse before making that decision."

The conversation turned to discussions of a potential job position for James, and at the end of the conversation that followed for the next half an hour James thanked the Director of Nursing before leaving the hospital. James knew his decision and decided that he needed to speak to Alecia firstly. Before heading to Hou Enterprises he firstly headed to XF International.

Before he arrived, given what had happened the first time he went to Hou Enterprises he called Yao Tan to smooth his way into the building. Yao Tan promised him that he would see that he was brought to his office and arrange for Alecia to be there so they could talk.

On entering XF International James headed to the reception area and said, "My name is James Jones, CEO Yao is expecting me."

The receptionist who had just gotten off the telephone from the CEO's office, said "Please wait a minute sir. Someone will be here from the CEO's office."

James just moved to one side, and a minute or so later an elevator door opened and out stepped Yan Tan, who immediately came over to James before embracing him in a hug. He turned to the reception desk, and quietly said "Please take note. This is my son-in-law. If he comes in, he is to immediately be shown to my office or whoever he requests to see."

As they turned to head to return to Yao Tan's office, they both over heard someone on the reception desk say "I thought CEO Yao's daughter was only seventeen, and she is married to that hunk? You have to be kidding me."

As they entered the elevator Yao Tan turned and said, "Do not worry, I will have Alecia help you shut them up when you leave."

"Thank you."

The rest of the trip to Yao Tan's office was in silence, and as they entered Alecia threw herself into James' arms and gave him a kiss. While wanting to be indulgent to his daughter Yao Tan decided to play the heavy father and boss with his daughter "This is unacceptable Behaviour at work Alecia."

Pulling back, Alecia said "Daddy, we are in your office with the door shut and you allowed me to come here so do not complain."

James laughed at his wife's comments, and slipped out of his arms, seeing that there was a couch, and sat down, before saying "Thank you, dad. I actually wanted to talk to the two of you about something before I talk to anyone else."

Yao Tan observed the look on James' face and realised that his son-in-law had decided about his career at this point in time. It was difficult to determine what that would be. He just hoped that it was a decision was something that he could live with. His wife was still not willing to quit working at Hou Enterprises particularly as his father-in-law, his Vice-CEO, was doing everything to prevent her from joining the Legal Department. The last thing he wanted is for his son-in-law also to work there. Yes, he was Hou Yi's brother-in-law but he did not need Hou Yi to gather his family around him. At least his daughter knew the right thing.

Alecia turned and said "You have made a decision about a job? Are you certain?"

"I have. I have spoken to several the hospitals that both you, sir and my brother-in-law contacted. They all offered me a job, those with a VIP ward there or in a general ward. It all was interesting, but …"
