Just for clarification. Imlie has not gratuated yet. She didn't got her degree in 1 year. She is freelancing featured writer of Bhasker Times. Aryan mentioned in the beginning that he offered her this job so she can continue her study and at the same time earn her living by working part time. I think the college hasn't started or something so she is working in office most of the time.
Here is the definition of Freelancing:
"A freelancer is an independent laborer who earns wages on a per-job or per-task basis, typically for short-term work. Benefits of freelancing include the freedom to work from home or from a non-traditional workspace, a flexible work schedule, and a better work-life balance."
Now coming back to being the CEO for a day. I don't know why there is so much criticism of Imlie on this. A lot of people are saying what Aditya said is correct. Please note that Aryan himself mentioned that he wants to test her leadership skills. A leader is basically a task manager. He knew what he was doing and he knew Imlie's potential as well. If you see the kind of job she got it's not something extraordinary if she is able to handle the people properly. She need to select the articles and make sure everyone's does their job. Imlie can do the first one easily but the challenge comes in the second one where she needs to command people to make the job done. Imlie is brave, fearless, and selfless but she is also very kind and soft hearted, and people can take advantage of her. We already saw one example in today's episode itself where one guy fooled her to get his leave sanctioned. Aryan wants her learn to become good task master.
