Chapter 173 She's going to stop it all from happening!
"Ahhh! President Xie!" The female employees' eyes lit up with excitement, suppressing the urge to scream.
"Mr. Xie and Ms. Lin are inseparable! They even brought her along when they came to discuss work. They really spoil her!"
"Miss Lin is now the R&D Director of Xie's Group, okay? Of course, President Xie would want to bring a technically skilled person like Miss Lin along on an occasion like today. Do you think she's just a pretty face? Can you please stop being so superficial?"
"Beautiful, from a good family, and talented... how could Mr. Xie not love a woman like that? Even I, a woman, am falling for her!"
As Jiang Shiyuan listened to the discussions, she was filled with doubts.
Why did Xie Jinghuai suddenly appear in Eternal?
Today's Yongheng is no longer the thriving company it was when her mother was alive. Since her mother's death, Jiang Yongxiao has been living off his past achievements. In the past ten years or so, those achievements have been almost exhausted, and the newly developed products have no market. The company is like an old lady celebrating the New Year - getting worse year by year.
She couldn't understand what kind of business Xie Jinghuai could possibly have with Jiang Yongxiao, given such an eternal existence.
Jiang Shiyuan's long eyelashes drooped slightly.
She wanted to go. Over the past five years, she had asked Xie Jinghuai more than once to help Yongheng and provide some financial or technical support, but the man had always firmly refused.
While the eternal river of history was declining, Lin Chengchou's Yuntu Dongfang was thriving.
This was because Xie Jinghuai had invested in Yuntu Dongfang's projects more than once over the past five years, and had also secured a night lighting project from the Beijing Municipal Government for it, which led to a change in the nature of Yuntu Dongfang Technology Company.
Having connections with the government makes attracting investment and negotiating projects much easier and more efficient.
Lin Chengchou's achievements are all thanks to his good son-in-law, Xie Jinghuai.
Ironically, the man did all this not for her, his so-called wife, but entirely for Lin Zhixin.
Jiang Shiyuan stood outside the crowd, her gaze complex as she looked at Xie Jinghuai's cold profile.
Is there even a slight possibility that he came here to help Yongheng?
Will he?
Having been ruthless to her a thousand times, will he soften his heart towards her and the Jiang family once after experiencing all this?
"Mr. Xie, it's your wife!"
Han Xu, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted Jiang Shiyuan standing on the outer perimeter and whispered in Xie Jinghuai's ear in surprise.
Xie Jinghuai paused, his phoenix eyes glancing over with a deep, unsettling look.
They gazed at each other from afar, their eyes meeting.
The oppressive feeling of being choked, without uttering a word, made it difficult for Jiang Shiyuan to breathe.
She quickly turned around, clenched her fists, and hurriedly dodged away.
Lin Zhixin followed the man's misty gaze and happened to see Jiang Shiyuan's back. Her eyes darkened.
What a terrible thing to do!
Immediately, Lin Zhixin's eyes flickered slightly as she remembered that Yongheng Technology was founded by her mother, and the current chairman of the company was her uncle.
She only managed to get a job at the Xie Group because of Jing Huai's connections. Now that she's resigned from the Xie Group and has no real skills, who else would take her in besides her uncle who's trying to curry favor with her?
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Zhixin withdrew her gaze, her red lips curling into a cold, disdainful smile.
A broken pot deserves a broken lid; garbage is best suited to be thrown into a garbage dump like Yongheng Technology.
Xie Jinghuai lowered his eyes slightly and strode forward.
A group of company executives greeted them warmly, but Chairman Jiang Yongxiao was nowhere to be seen.
Han Xu couldn't help but whisper, "President Xie, this Chairman Jiang is really arrogant. You came all this way in person, but he didn't even come downstairs to greet you. He only sent these small fry. Does he have any sincerity at all?"
Xie Jinghuai's gaze wandered, somewhat absentmindedly. "Jiang Yongxiao is Jiang Shiyuan's uncle after all. If he wants to put on airs, let him."
Han Xu was surprised.
Didn't President Xie always look down on his wife's family? Why the sudden change of heart?
Perhaps he genuinely wanted to mend his relationship with the young mistress and was making efforts in secret.
As a result, Han Xu's relief lasted only three seconds before Xie Jinghuai coldly spoke again:
"Well, this wretched place won't last another two years anyway, let's just let it have its doomsday celebration."
Han Xu: "…………"
...
Jiang Shiyuan was wearing a light gray casual sportswear outfit today. She spilled coffee all over herself, and the stains were so obvious that she had to go to the first-floor restroom to clean it up.
As she was washing, she suddenly heard voices coming from the innermost cubicle:
"What brings President Xie here today? Is he perhaps going to invest in Yongheng?"
"Investment? Don't be ridiculous. Even if President Xie is rich, he can't be a sucker. Investing in Yongheng is like throwing money off a rooftop."
Another female employee lowered her voice, "I heard that Chairman Jiang is planning to sell two of the company's medical patents. One is an intelligent robotic arm for cardiac surgery, and the other is something... I can't remember."
Jiang Shiyuan's pupils dilated suddenly, and a chill instantly swept through her entire body.
"Huh? Wasn't that heart surgery device a product developed by the founder, Ms. Jiang? How come it's being sold off like this?"
"What else can we do? The product is good, but it hasn't been innovated in years and has been eliminated by the market. The company is also short of working capital. The new energy vehicle business is burning money. How can Chairman Jiang not be anxious? Selling patents is the only option left."
"Ms. Jiang's product was a trendsetter back then! If we upgrade it further, it might even..."
"The company is broke right now, and the research team is in trouble too. For now, we can only hold on by selling off assets, but once we've sold most of them, Eternal Technology will be finished."
Jiang Shiyuan clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white, and her heart throbbed with pain.
Jiang Yongxiao said that he would protect Eternal Technology for his mother and carry forward its glory. Is this how he fulfilled his mother's long-cherished wish?!
What a failure! What a humiliating failure!
She gritted her teeth and made a silent vow to stop it from happening no matter what!
...
"Oh dear! Mr. Xie! We are so sorry to have failed to welcome our distinguished guest!"
Jiang Yongxiao, who was waiting in the conference room, stood up when Xie Jinghuai entered. Behind him were his secretary and the director of the R&D department. While buttoning his suit jacket, he shook hands with the man warmly.
Xie Jinghuai remained indifferent, shaking Jiang Yongxiao's hand only out of courtesy before quickly letting go.
Lin Zhixin coldly sized up the middle-aged man in front of her with his receding hairline and fake smile, which made her want to vomit.
Despite being a chairman of the board, his demeanor exuded a mercenary air. Indeed, the difference between someone from a humble background and a tycoon like Brother Jinghuai, a chosen one of heaven, was like heaven and earth.
With such an unseemly family member, it's no wonder that Brother Jinghuai would avoid Jiang Shiyuan.
That's so cheap.
"Miss Lin, it's been a long time." Jiang Yongxiao raised an eyebrow and came over to shake hands with Lin Zhixin.
Lin Zhixin frowned, clearly not wanting this greasy old man to touch her.
"Chairman Jiang, have you met Miss Lin before?" Xie Jinghuai asked casually, his thin lips barely moving.
Lin Zhixin immediately interjected, "Never."
"Yes, of course I do. It's just that it was more than ten years ago. Miss Lin was still young, so she probably doesn't remember."
Jiang Yongxiao looked at Lin Zhixin's aloof and pretty face and said with a smile, "We met briefly at my sister's funeral!"
Back then, Miss Lin was just a young girl. Your mother, now Mrs. Lin, and Chairman Lin came to pay respects to my sister. You didn't come in; you waited outside the mourning hall. I can't believe so many years have passed. I remember Miss Lin is about the same age as my niece, A-Yuan, isn't she? Now she's the director of the R&D department at the Xie Group! She's truly accomplished!
