From its inception, Huotuan has been committed to large-scale development.
Capital support was introduced from firms such as Tiansheng and Sequoia Capital, and a shareholding system was established simultaneously. Of course, Huo Yunchao and Dai Dai shared the same goal: to firmly control Huotuan. Huo Yunchao was the largest shareholder and CEO. Qin Shu, as Huo Yunchao's earliest partner and a technology-based shareholder, also owned approximately 10% of the shares.
However, now that Huo Yunchao is unconscious, the shareholders have other ideas. A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a group cannot be without a leader for a day. They want to hire a new professional manager.
The Huotuan board meeting was scheduled for the first day after the New Year's Day holiday, with the main topic being the appointment of the acting CEO. The official explanation was that he would temporarily assume the CEO's duties until Huo Yunchao woke up.
Before this, Xue Qiandai was still recovering in the hospital and trying to wake Huo Yunchao. This wasn't the first time she had done something like this, so she was quite experienced.
She sat quietly by the bed and gave him a muscle massage.
"The shareholders' meeting is coming up, and those investors want to elect a new CEO. Sigh, it makes me really angry. You just slept in a few extra days, and they want to change the government? Think about how Steve Jobs felt when he was forced out. I don't want you to go through that."
“Your uncle and aunt called, and I answered it for you. I didn’t dare tell them the truth, so I’m keeping it from them for a few days. You’d better wake up soon, or you’ll be found out sooner or later.”
After massaging his arms, Xue Qiandai massaged his shoulder blades, and he stood up.
“A couple of days ago, Jianyan told me that she needed to hire two capable customer service representatives. Business at the Taobao store has picked up, and we two bosses can’t do everything ourselves, can we?”
She glanced out the window again; everything was a blanket of white. "My beauty, it's snowing in the capital. I really want to sing with you in the snow."
After saying much, Xue Qiandai fell silent. Huo Yunchao still didn't react at all.
There was a knock on the door, and Qin Shu stood leaning against it. "Dai Dai, Senior Brother Gu Fan and Senior Brother Zhang Duo are here and want to see you."
Xue Qiandai knew Gu Fan, but this was the first time she had met Zhang Duo. She got up and walked out, not forgetting to tell Qin Shu, "Senior Brother Qin, you should go back to the company and keep things in order. I'll take care of the beauty."
Qin Shu just smiled and said, "I brought my laptop with me, so it doesn't matter where I work. But you, you're still a patient."
"Why are you being so delicate?" Xue Qiandai understood the friendship between Huo Yunchao and Qin Shu, so she didn't say anything more. Back in her ward, she saw the two men covered in snow.
"Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Zhang, please have a seat."
There were two chairs in the room, and Xue Qiandai sat on the edge of the bed.
Although she was wearing a hospital gown and no makeup, Xue Qiandai still exuded an aura of cold elegance.
"Dai Dai, are you feeling better?" Gu Fan asked casually.
"Hmm, much better. Senior Brother Gu, could you introduce me?" Xue Qiandai was naturally referring to Zhang Duo.
Gu Fan explained, "Zhang Duo is also from Tsinghua University, and he is now a senior client manager in the private banking department of China Merchants Bank."
Xue Qiandai nodded, assuming that Huo Yunchao was a VIP at the private bank.
"What brings you two senior brothers here?"
Zhang Duo looked at the girl in front of him, the girl who made this unmarried man believe in love again, and said, "Previously, Yun Chao set up a trust fund, investing 3% of Chao Xun's annual profits into it, and the beneficiary was Junior Sister Xue. He said at the time that there were two conditions for activating the trust: first, he authorized it; second, if he could not activate it, I would hand the money over to Junior Sister Xue."
Therefore, Zhang Duo's visit today is a timely help.
Xue Qiandai's heart was filled with turmoil, and she pressed her lips tightly together.
Her beauty, she did so much for her in silence, planned so much, yet she knew nothing of it.
To truly love someone, you should never look at what they say, but rather what they do.
“Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Gu, I don’t need the money for now. Let’s keep this trust. Brother Chao is just a little tired, he’ll wake up soon.”
Gu Fan hesitated for a moment, "Dai Dai, Qin Shu told me a thing or two about the Fireball. Do you have any plans?"
Xue Qiandai lowered her eyes and pressed down the hem of her hospital gown. "Huo Tuan, it's Chao Ge's Huo Tuan. He'll wake up soon. Why send a professional manager over here when they haven't even gotten familiar with the business yet? Why not just keep him for a few days and then return him?"
“I’ve watched Fireball grow from its inception to its current state, and it’s a testament to Brother Chao’s hard work and wisdom. I’ve also discussed Fireball’s future with Brother Chao many times, and the next five years are all in his mind. This time, it’s my turn to protect him and his business empire.”
When she looked up again, a bright light flashed in Xue Qiandai's eyes, so dazzling.
With his worries gone, Gu Fan said with great enthusiasm, "Alright, I believe everyone is willing to support you."

Since moving, Xue Qiandai has never visited Chaoxun's new headquarters.
The new office building is located in Zhongguancun Science Park, adjacent to Cuihu Lake, with a superior natural environment.
There are no skyscrapers here, only independent, self-owned villas. Due to the needs of its business, Chaoxun has been expanding rapidly, and its workforce has grown, so it has rented three headquarters buildings.
Xue Qiandai drove her Mercedes-Benz, accompanied by Gu Fan, into the park. As they passed Cuihu Lake, they noticed that the lake was not frozen, and occasionally birds would fly by, creating a solemn and serene scene.
She was engrossed in watching when her phone rang. After pressing the answer button, Qin Shu's voice came through: "Dai Dai, when are you arriving? They've invited a big shot from Wall Street."
