"The chairman of Anfeng Enterprise! Mr. Bai Shouan was sent to Chang Gung Hospital for emergency treatment due to a heart attack. His condition was not very optimistic and he was fighting with death. According to what I know, after Mr. Bai Shouan fell ill, Anfeng Enterprise is leaderless and in danger…"
"I didn't expect that the once glorious Bai Shouan would end up in such a miserable state.”Duan Ling gestured for his subordinate to turn off the television.
"You know him?"
Duan Lang Yao leaned lazily on the sofa, exuding a charming and noble aura. He was like a noble and beautiful Persian cat, making people reluctant to look away from his face.
An Yichen, on the other hand, was carrying a plate of fruits. She walked over to Duan Langyao and sat down with a smile on her face.
"He is a friend of mine in the business world. Bai Shouan is straightforward and forthright. But…sigh! He did not expect that the business he had worked so hard for most of his life would either collapse or fall into the hands of others. It was really heartbreaking!”
"Doesn't he have a son to inherit the family business?”Duan Guiyao smiled awkwardly.
Duan Langyao sighed and shook his head.
Ever since his elder brother acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the clan, there was always a cold smile on his face, preventing him and his father from entering his inner world.
This was also a headache for him and his father. They tried their best to make him laugh, but ever since he returned to the Duan family three years ago, he and his father had never seen him smile sincerely.
Perhaps the reason why Jiong Yao was so cold was related to Shu Wuzhen's disappearance.
No one knew where she had gone because the only person who knew where she had gone had kept his mouth shut, and they could not get any information out of him. He only knew that in the past three years, Shu Wuzhen's name had been like a bomb that could easily trigger Jiong Yao's rage.
At the mention of this woman, his only reaction was anger. It was hard to imagine that he would be as crazy as a wounded beast, and no one could get close to him. In order to vent his anger, he would even throw things around him crazily.
For the sake of everyone's safety, Shu Wuzhen's name was taboo in front of Jiong Yao.
"He only has one daughter. He adopted his son.”
"That's bad! Women are useless." Duan Langyao laughed gloatingly, not because he looked down on women, but because women's social skills were much worse than men's.
"However, I heard that Bai Shouan had slowly transferred his career to Zhuo Cui three years ago. However, Bai Shouan had never admitted to this matter.”An Yichen blinked curiously and asked with a smile.
"Zhuo Kong? Who is he?"
Duan Langyao narrowed his eyes and glared at his wife who was smiling. At this moment, he felt that the smile on her face was very glaring.
"He's Bai Shouan's right-hand man, and he's also a talent in business management. His work ability and social skills are better than Bai Shouan's. Therefore, some people said that he was Bai Shouan's successor, but Bai Shouan never gave a direct response, so outsiders could not figure out his thoughts.”
"I think this matter will gradually become clear with Bai Shouan's fall.”Duan Ling analyzed.
"Perhaps! By the way, Yichen, how do you know about Zhuo Xiong?”
He had never seen An Yichen so interested in anyone, but she was so curious about a man today, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I saw it on television. Zhuo Xiong is not only Bai Shouan's adopted son, but I also know that he and Bai Shouan's daughter were originally a couple. But somehow, Bai Jingying suddenly disappeared the day before their wedding. No one knows where she went, and in the end, Zhuo Xiong married Bai Jingying's cousin.”
"Bai Jingying became the bride who ran away?"
"I don't know! Three years ago, she returned home on her own accord. As for the three years that she had disappeared, as well as the reason for her disappearance on the night before their wedding, she claimed that she did not remember or have any memories.”
"How is that possible? Could it be that she has amnesia?"
"Who knows!" An Yichen shrugged." After she got home, she was protected like a rock. The reporters who wanted to interview her were all turned away, so all of this was just a rumor. No one has ever verified it.”
Duan Guiyao stood up abruptly, and everyone present looked at him in shock.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Duan Langyao asked blankly.
Duan Guiyao didn't say a word. His face was ashen as he walked upstairs to the studio. His sinister expression was like a debt collector, extremely ferocious.
"What happened to him? Why is your reaction so big?" Duan Ling asked worriedly.
He had always felt extremely guilty towards Jiong Yao and wanted to do his best to make up for the trauma he had suffered. Therefore, as long as Jiong Yao asked, no matter what he wanted, he would immediately agree.
Unfortunately, he could not express his feelings.
"I don't know." An Yichen had no clue.
The three of them were watching the commotion upstairs with worried expressions, but after Duan Jiongyao stepped into the studio, no other sound came out.
Anfeng Corporation
" I have to host an important meeting at 10 in the morning, sign a contract with the representative of Minggao Electronic at 1 in the afternoon, host a planning meeting at 3 in the afternoon, and at 5 in the afternoon…"
Bai Jingying knew that she had almost no free time on her schedule, so she could have a good rest. She could not hide her fatigue as she sat in her office chair.
"Qing Ying, leave the information. I'll read it later.”
"There's still an hour before the meeting.”Pan Qingying reminded her dutifully.
The rumors outside were not true. After the chairman had a heart attack, he did not transfer the business to Manager Zhuo. Instead, he handed it over to his biological daughter to manage.
Today was Jing Ying's first day as the temporary chairman. She had never come into contact with the business world, so whether she was competent or not was the focus of everyone's attention.
After the chairman fell ill, everyone in the company began to curry favor with Manager Zhuo, thinking that he was the only candidate to be the next chairman. However, they did not expect that Jingying would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Although she was the chairman's daughter, she had no practical experience and could not lead the company through this crisis. As a result, the employees were deeply dissatisfied. The voices of opposition continued to surge, and some people simply handed in their resignations and quit.
In short, if Jing Ying didn't make some achievements soon, no one would think highly of her. If this continued, the company would go bankrupt because of the departure of the employees before the chairman recovered.
"I know."
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to speak. I'll be by your side to assist you.”Pan Qingying was worried about Bai Jingying's condition.
Because she was Bai Shouan's secretary and Bai Jingying would come to the company whenever she was free, the two of them, who were about the same age, quickly became sisters who talked about everything.
It had been two years since she joined the company, and Jing Ying had always treated her like a sister. She sincerely hoped that this good friend of hers could impress everyone and prove to everyone that the chairman's actions were correct!
"Qing Ying, don't worry about me. Since my father gave me the company, I will study hard and manage it. No matter what others think of me or say about me, I don't care. This company is my father's life's work. I can't let it collapse in my hands!”Bai Jingying said confidently.
She couldn't act weak anymore. This would only make those who were waiting to see her laugh at her. There was a big crisis waiting for her to deal with. If she lost confidence, wouldn't her father's life's hard work be destroyed in her hands?
In order not to be looked down upon by others, she had to stay alert and deal with the crisis until the moment her father recovered.
"You didn't see the faces of those supervisors. Everyone looked like they were waiting for a good show. They didn't even think about what time it was now. They actually had internal strife!”Pan Qingying showed a disgusted expression.
"You can't blame them. Who taught me to be a woman?”
"Pfft! Should women be looked down upon? I don't believe it! I believe that you will definitely be able to make them look at you in a different light and brighten their eyes.”Pan Qingying's eyes sparkled.
Regarding this point, she firmly believed that Jing Ying was not a flower in a greenhouse. Her ability was directly proportional to her beauty.
She had a beautiful appearance, and under her long eyelashes was a pair of big eyes that could talk. Her charming eyes that could discharge electricity were intoxicating. Her apple-like lips were always so tender that it made people drool. Her graceful figure was so beautiful that it made people daydream.
There was no doubt that she was the goddess in every man's heart, but her beautiful appearance made everyone think that she was just a pretty vase. Men always had a big question mark in their hearts about her ability.
However, she firmly believed that Jing Ying's ability was definitely better than those selfish men.
Jing Ying could definitely make those stinky men look at her in a different light!
"It doesn't matter. I just want to protect my father's career and not let outsiders glare at me.”She didn't care what others thought of her. She just wanted to stabilize her father's career.
"Humph! I think the most covetous person should be Zhuo Xiong. His face is really disgusting.”Pan Qingying showed a mocking look.
"You're doing it again. Didn't I tell you that he…"
"I know. He's not like that. After the chairman fell, he was very enthusiastic about helping you. He definitely had no selfish motives to take over the company.”
Humph! The human heart was sinister!
No matter how well Zhuo Chi disguised himself, he was just a hypocrite! She hated Zhuo Cui from the bottom of her heart. Him! He acted the same way in front of others, thinking that he could hide his actions from the world. One day, he would definitely get his retribution.
Unfortunately, Jing Ying didn't listen to her at all. She was sure that Zhuo Cui wouldn't betray her father, and he wouldn't take advantage of others to take over the company.
"Qing Ying, I know you have a deep prejudice against Brother Zhuo, but I believe he's not a scheming person.”
"Humph! It's not that I like to criticize him, but how good can a man's character be when he's not devoted to his feelings? You only disappeared for three years, and he had a change of heart and married your cousin. This kind of man is not worth trusting!”
"You can't blame him. He and Yaqing are a good match.”She lowered her head dejectedly as many images flashed through her mind.
She wasn't sad, but…
"Yeah!" Pan Qingying's lips twitched.
The pampered young miss, coupled with the gloomy smiling tiger, was a pair of adulterers!
She didn't believe that their relationship would be that good. If it wasn't for the benefits, why would Zhuo Cui marry Li Yaqing? Only silly Jingying would believe that these two people were really good to her.
Little did she know that this kind of trust would make her fall into a trap and allow her to be slaughtered. However, as long as she was around, she would never allow that adulterous couple to hurt Jingying!
While Pan Qingying was deep in thought, a man pushed open the exquisitely carved golden wooden door. Seeing that it was Zhuo Chi, Pan Qingying immediately stopped thinking and stared at his every move with burning eyes.
Dressed in an expensive suit, Zhuo Xiong confidently smiled and walked straight towards Bai Jingying.
He had a handsome face that was blessed by the heavens, and he was elegant and graceful. He was like Pan An who had reincarnated, and he was unhindered in love. Under his resolute nose was a mouth that seemed to be stained with honey. When women met such an outstanding man, it was inevitable that they would have selfish motives and want to take him for themselves.
Zhuo Xiong revealed his signature smile. He was confident that as long as it was a woman, there was no one who didn't like him.
"I heard that Manager Lin also handed in his resignation?”
Hearing this, Pan Qingying curled her lips and thought to herself!
Humph! Isn't it all your trick, hypocritical man!
"Another man who looks down on women.”
The employees begged her one by one, but she was helpless. Even if she could keep them, what was the use if she could not keep their hearts? She might as well let them go. However, one day, she would definitely make those people look at her in a different light. She would prove that women were not weak and that women's abilities could also be above men!
"I believe in your ability." Zhuo Xiong gazed at Bai Jingying with deep affection, his gaze so hot that it seemed as if he wanted to swallow Bai Jingying whole.
It wasn't that Bai Jingying hadn't noticed, but she was just pretending as if nothing had happened. She didn't want to expose them, and she didn't want to ruin their relationship.
After all, Zhuo Cui was her cousin's husband now. Even if they were a couple before, it was already in the past. Their relationship had already ended with him entering the marriage.
"Of course! Jing Ying's beauty was directly proportional to her intelligence. She was not a puppet that could be manipulated by others. If someone provoked her, she would definitely retaliate fiercely and mercilessly.”Crossing her arms, Pan Qingying stared at Zhuo Cui arrogantly, despising this two-faced man.
Zhuo Chi gave Pan Qingying a pleasant smile. Unfortunately, this smile with ulterior motives was worthless in Pan Qingying's eyes.
If Zhuo Cui thought that she was a love-struck girl who admired him, then he was gravely mistaken!
If Jing Ying wasn't there, she really wanted to slap him hard and tear his mask off.
"Do you hate me?"
Zhuo Xiong raised his thick eyebrows, and his handsome face immediately revealed an arrogant expression.
Pan Qingying, this woman, showed her disgust towards him on her face. She liked to refute his words and didn't put him in her eyes at all.
He thought that she was playing hard to get, but he seemed to have overestimated himself. Pan Qingying didn't have any interest in him at all. She looked at him with eyes full of disgust, extreme disgust, extreme disgust.
Could it be that his charm had regressed?
His ever-victorious smile was actually unable to conquer her?
"Not bad! Very self-aware."
Bai Jingying revealed a helpless smile. Qing Ying was too straightforward, and she couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for her.
Even though she hated Zhuo Xiong's burning gaze, she always pretended to be dumb and didn't want to ruin their friendship. At least until now, Zhuo Xiong had not done anything out of line.
Hearing this, Zhuo Yan's lips curled into a smile.
What a sharp mouth! She had completely trampled his dignity under her feet. Could it be that he had offended her in some way that made her look at him in a different light?
If Jing Ying wasn't present at this moment, he definitely wouldn't swallow his anger like this. He had many ways to deal with this kind of shrewish woman. How could he allow her to ride on his head?
"I have something to discuss with Jing Ying. If there's nothing else, you can leave first.”Zhuo Ke smiled and said coldly.
Pan Qingying looked at him, ignoring his words.
Seeing this, Bai Jingying winked at Pan Qingying.
"Qing Ying, please give me this file after you've sorted it out.”Bai Jingying said gently.
If Qing Ying stayed here, the atmosphere would become stiff. No matter how good-tempered Zhuo Cong was, he couldn't stand her straightforward personality. In order to prevent the war from spreading, she had to ask Qing Ying to leave.
Who knew what Zhuo Xiong had in mind when he sent her away! Letting Jing Ying be alone with him was truly dangerous. If the foolish Jing Ying was deceived, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although Pan Qingying was worried, she had to compromise when she met Bai Jingying's gentle eyes.
Pan Qingying reluctantly took a step forward and walked out with the file that Bai Jingying handed to her. Before she left, she didn't forget to glare at Zhuo Xiong, this annoying man.
"Please close the door."
Humph! There was no way she could fight him.
Look! Wasn't Jing Ying also charmed by him now?
At this moment, Zhuo Kong was like a victorious fighting cock, proudly displaying his charm.
Bang! Pan Qingying didn't hide her fiery temper and closed the door roughly.
Bai Jingying sighed," Big brother, Qingying is always direct. Please don't argue with her."”
"I'm not a man without measure.”
In front of Jing Ying, he had to pretend that he was an adult who did not hold a grudge against a petty person. In the future, he would find an opportunity to teach that ungrateful woman a lesson.
He was the general manager of Anfeng Enterprise, and a mere secretary dared to "talk back" to him? If he didn't fight back, he would probably be treated as a sick cat. However, he had to deal with her in private and couldn't let Jing Ying see through him.
Although Bai Shouan treated him as his own son, the assets under his name still did not belong to him. In Bai Shouan's eyes, the only person who could inherit his assets was his daughter! Bai Jingying.
Everyone envied him for being able to turn from an orphan into the young master of a rich family. He did not have to pay to have endless gold and silver treasures.
However, in reality, he was just a dog that Bai Shouan raised. Not only was he not valued, but he was also restricted in every step and could not spread his wings to fly.
He had the position of general manager, but he could not directly control the internal operations of the company. For a long time, he had been under Bai Shouan's hands. He had a belly full of ink and talent, but he could not perform well.
Now that Bai Shouan had fallen ill, just as everyone had guessed, he had also thought that Bai Shouan would hand over Anfeng Enterprise to him. However, they were all wrong. Bai Shouan had actually let Jing Ying take over the position of acting chairman.
Bai Shouan's actions had seriously hurt his self-esteem and made him a big joke in the business world. Therefore, he swore that one day, he would make Bai Shouan kneel down and beg him, regretting everything he had done to him!
How could a woman manage a big company? Moreover, the human heart was always so fragile that it could not withstand a single blow. He had only casually said two or three sentences and the company's elders had begged him one by one. Presumably, it would not be long before Jing Ying would obediently give Anfeng Enterprise to him.
He couldn't express his thoughts too clearly. He could get everything he wanted by enduring his anger for a while. At that time, he would be a big shot in the business world.
No one would dare to treat him as a useless dog, and no one would look down on his background. He was the real winner, and everyone wanted to curry favor with him!
The current Bai Jingying was like a chess piece in his hands, completely controlled by him. No matter how she tried to escape, she would not be able to escape from the inescapable net he had set up.
Just wait and see! Bai Shouan would see his talent and methods. He was no longer a weakling, nor was he an obedient dog.
When the real power of the company fell into his hands, Bai Shouan would regret it too late. He would definitely make Bai Shouan pay a considerable price for the decision he had made back then!
No one could destroy his foolproof plan! Zhuo Xiong proudly curled his lips, his whole body emitting a wicked aura…
