Chapter 206 Taking Back What Belongs to Mother
"Attorney Ye will be our permanent legal counsel?!"
Everyone was shocked and found it unbelievable!
You have to understand, with Ye Yu's reputation, he's more than qualified to be an advisor to the Xie Group. Coming to a small place like Yongheng is just lowering his status!
"Ah Yuan, I knew you might have shortcomings in management, but I didn't expect you to be this bad!"
Jiang Yongxiao seized the opportunity and immediately jumped out to kick Jiang Shiyuan, saying, "We all recognize Attorney Ye's abilities, but you should also think about how high the human resource costs are to hire top-notch lawyers in the country."
The company is currently facing numerous problems and is facing a severe cash crunch. Even funding for research and development projects is extremely tight. Where would we find the money to hire a talent like Attorney Ye, who earns a multi-million dollar annual salary? Hiring him would leave the company starving!
The board members discussed it amongst themselves, also feeling that the young girl was unrealistic and had wild ideas.
"You all don't need to worry about these things."
Ye Yu lowered his eyes, his gaze towards Jiang Shiyuan filled with tenderness. "President Jiang's mother has been very kind to me. It can be said that without Ms. Jiang, there would be no Ye Yu today."
Therefore, I will provide Yongheng Technology Company with free and permanent legal aid to repay Ms. Jiang's kindness to me.
Everyone: "?!"
Wow! I never imagined that the founder, Ms. Jiang, had such a deep relationship with Ye Yu!
This truly exemplifies the saying "sowing good seeds yielding good fruit!"
Jiang Yongxiao stood there dumbfounded, his stiff expression quite interesting.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes, a half-smile on his face, "Chairman Jiang, you shouldn't have questioned our CEO's abilities without asking first. It really makes people uncomfortable."
"President Jiang always puts the group's interests first and would never disregard the group's interests for personal gain. You can rest assured about that."
The meeting ended in a delicate atmosphere.
The board members emerged from the meeting room one by one, with Xiao Haotian leading the way, hearing the incessant chirping of crickets behind him:
"I never expected that this little brat actually had 30% in her hands! She's been hiding it well!"
"Maybe it's an inheritance left to her by her mother. When she died, the child was young, so she might have put the shares in a trust and given them to the child when the child came of age."
"Tsk, old Jiang, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. He won't be able to cover up everything anymore."
"What's so great about that little girl? I think she's just bluffing. I bet Ye Yu wrote all those lines for her, right?"
"You look down on me so much, but you still raised your hand, didn't you?"
"Pshaw, she's just a little girl with a histrionic personality disorder who dreams of becoming a CEO. We'll just play along and have fun with her. Why would we take her seriously?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Xiao Haotian frowned and paused in his steps.
But in the end, he didn't say anything, and just quickly distanced himself from them.
Inside the meeting room, Jiang Shiyuan and Jiang Yongxiao confronted each other.
"Niece, congratulations, you've gotten what you wanted." Jiang Yongxiao took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, giving a forced smile.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled slightly, but her eyes were cold. "Thank you for your congratulations, Uncle. From now on, our family will work together, and I hope you will take good care of us."
Last time, when someone splashed red paint on her door, she didn't lose her temper and rush to confront him.
She wasn't that weak, much less a saint.
It's just that she's a newly appointed official, and Jiang Yongxiao is her boss. She hasn't gotten things on track in the company yet, so she doesn't want to provoke this old dog Deng at this time and make things harder for herself.
Given Jiang Yongxiao's incompetence in even cleaning up his own mess, how many opportunities would he have for revenge?
"I'm really curious, where did your 30% come from?"
Jiang Yongxiao nearly chewed the cigarette holder to pieces. "I don't recall your mother's will mentioning 30%?"
Jiang Shiyuan remained calm, even revealing a slight smile. "What? My uncle has read my mother's will?"
Jiang Yongxiao's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained impassive. "Isn't it normal for your uncle to have seen her? Your mother passed away early, and you were so young back then. You know what kind of person your father was. When your mother was seriously ill, who else could she rely on besides me, her own brother?"
“That 30% is a gift left to me by my mother. The reason you don’t know is because my mother was afraid that some unscrupulous people would take advantage of me because I was young and helpless. So she hid the shares and waited until I was able to take control of my own life before giving them to me.”
Jiang Shiyuan stared at Jiang Yongxiao's gloomy face and smiled meaningfully, "Fortunately, Mother had this trick up her sleeve, otherwise it might have been embezzled by some greedy old bastard who had no conscience."
Jiang Yongxiao's cheeks burned, feeling as if every word was an insult to him.
Having said that much, there was no point in continuing the conversation. Jiang Yongxiao took a few deep drags on his cigarette, smashed the butt on the table, and got up to walk out the door with a hint of resentment.
Just as he passed by Jiang Shiyuan, he suddenly stopped, his gaze turning cold and menacing as he stared at her.
"Niece, the business world is like a battlefield, and it's incredibly cruel. Why would you give up the life of a pampered rich lady and insist on enduring hardship? What are you after?"
What? Mr. Xie isn't giving you pocket money anymore?
"Uncle is overthinking it."
Jiang Shiyuan slightly lifted her eyelids, speaking each word with emphasis, "I just want to take back what belongs to my mother."
"Fine, then good luck!" Jiang Yongxiao gritted his teeth and strode away.
...
Jiang Shiyuan sat alone in the conference room for a long time before coming out.
“Ah Yuan.”
She looked up, surprised. "Senior brother? Have you been waiting here the whole time?"
"No, I was busy for a bit, and when I didn't see you for a while, I thought I'd come and check on you."
Ye Yu walked up to her, gazing intently at the girl he had watched grow up, his gaze gradually hardening. "I had someone clean up your office. It's all done, even the nameplate on your desk has been changed to your name—"
"President, Jiang Shiyuan."
Jiang Shiyuan pursed her lips, somewhat embarrassed, "Senior brother, please call me Ayuan from now on. Calling me 'President' sounds awkward to me."
Ye Yu insisted, "It's fine in private, but in front of others, you still have to address me as President Jiang."
"Fine, whatever you say."
Jiang Shiyuan hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Senior brother, don't announce to the outside world that I've become the president of Eternal for now. I don't want the Xie family to know. Especially Xie Jinghuai. If he finds out, he will definitely come looking for trouble."
"Don't worry, I understand your concerns. Diao Jinghuai just can't stand to see you doing well, and he's trying every possible way to trip you up and make things difficult for you."
Ye Yu gritted his teeth in resentment, "You're not looking for a husband, you've just invited a plague upon yourself, a super difficult boss!"
Jiang Shiyuan was too lazy to complain about Xie Jinghuai, that fake person. After visiting the new office with Ye Yu, they took the elevator to the first floor together.
As soon as the two entered the lobby on the first floor, Jiang Shiyuan saw a familiar figure, dressed in a black business suit, walking forward with his head down and a depressed look on his face.
"Yin... Meng?"
Yin Meng heard the familiar call, turned around abruptly, and her eyes lit up instantly:
"Sister Shiyuan!"
