After everyone had a good laugh, Ye Ningsuan invited Zhao Zhi into Ye Fei's office (which used to be Cheng Hui's, and now that the new general manager hadn't been appointed yet, Ye Fei was using it temporarily).
Ye Fei followed them in.
"Ms. Zhao, welcome aboard!"
As soon as they entered, Ye Fei greeted her politely.
Though she was a veteran in the industry, Ye Fei was the boss, so Zhao Zhi didn't act superior. She smiled and shook Ye Fei's hand, saying, "We're all colleagues now. Mr. Ye, you can just call me by my first name. Calling me 'Ms. Zhao' makes it seem so formal."
"Uh..."
Ye Fei hesitated for a moment. Given Zhao Zhi's age, she could easily be his grandmother.
Calling her by her first name felt awkward. But calling her " Ms. Zhao" like everyone else seemed inappropriate too. Ye Ningsuan seemed quite familiar with her and called her by her first name. If he did the same, it would mess up the generational hierarchy.
