Chapter 71 I'm betrothing you to be the mistress of the Pei family, but I don't know...
In less than half an hour, the name "Luo Yunqing," along with a video of the Song Group building, quickly topped the trending charts on major financial platforms.
"That kid, Xiao Luo, he made such a big fuss without making a sound, and he even kept it from us." The old man held his phone and spoke to the housekeeper, nodding with a smile, "That's right. I think he really is just like him."
He pointed to the right side of the tea table, where Pei Yanli was calmly drinking tea.
Whether it's the way he got out of the car or the way he did this, everything about him reminds people of him. Even... I don't know if it's just psychological suggestion, but even their appearances are somewhat similar.
“You’re mistaken about that.” Pei Yanli finished her tea, silently put down her cup, and said, “This whole thing was Xiao Luo’s own idea from beginning to end.”
He started his company from scratch and generated hundreds of billions in revenue in less than two years, all thanks to his hard work day and night.
"I could tell when he came to our Pei family for his internship last year. This kid is going to be something." At this point, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "Only the Song family is so short-sighted. Now look what's happened."
He was slapped in the face by his own son in public.
Not only Song Jingguo, but everyone else was also stunned, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Song Moyan's face turned ashen.
But seeing his father's astonished and shocked expression, a faint sense of pleasure arose in his heart.
The son he had abandoned and treated as a discarded pawn now reigned supreme over him.
He, the player who played the game, lost! Hahaha!
“Next, the Song family will be handed over to Aetheris Group for management.” At the shareholders’ meeting, Xia Lin displayed the pre-prepared job change on the big screen.
The thirteen specialists dispatched were assigned to various senior management positions within the Song Group, including the CEO and General Manager.
Above this, the chairman was changed to Luo Yunqing.
In the final vote, only 1 person opposed, 3 people abstained, and the remaining 13 people all voted in favor.
In just one day, the Song family underwent a complete upheaval.
On the same day, he drastically dismissed more than ten middle-level managers.
"Why are you firing us?!"
"They're trying to kick us out as soon as they arrive? That's not fair!"
The directors and managers, who had received their termination notices one after another, were furious. They stormed out of the meeting room and threatened to file for arbitration with the labor bureau.
"Alright, everyone, go ahead and sue." Xia Lin walked out of the conference room.
Before anyone could rush up, two bodyguards immediately stood in front of them.
She glanced around with satisfaction, then looked at the group of people who had come running over, dissatisfied. "Did you all only see the termination notice? There was another email after it, didn't you?"
Charlene casually pointed to one of them, equating his fat, chubby face with the information on the tablet: "Purchasing Manager Ma Yuan, eight years in office, are you enjoying the kickbacks?"
The man's face immediately changed drastically, "You, you..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? The public funds you've embezzled over the years... Forget about firing you, we'll have to call the police and have you arrested." Xia Lin suddenly said in a deep voice, "Men, take him into custody and hand him over to the police."
As soon as he finished speaking, two burly bodyguards grabbed him from both sides.
"What's left..." she said slowly, drawing out her words, "Do you all still want to cause trouble? Or perhaps you could go to the police station for a cup of tea with Manager Ma?"
The group came with great momentum, but in the end, one or two of them hung their heads and resigned themselves to their fate.
Although no sound could be heard inside the conference room, the sight of the crowd gradually dispersing outside the glass windows indicated that things had calmed down.
The shareholders' meeting proceeded smoothly as usual.
Some people were laid off, and correspondingly, some people were promoted to fill the vacancies.
The remaining shareholders have undergone slight changes in their positions, but none of them are major. The exception is Song Jingguo and his son. As the second largest shareholder of the Song Group, Song Jingguo has had almost all his power stripped away, retaining only share dividends. Song Moyan has been directly assigned to a branch of the Song Group.
It goes without saying that this move is an act of suppression.
Moreover, it was an open and blatant suppression.
As soon as the shareholders' meeting ended, all the shareholders, with great foresight, followed the Aetheris Group representatives as they left.
Soon, only the Song father and his two sons remained in the conference room.
After a long silence, Song Moyan pulled out a chair and stood up, clapping his hands at the person in the center of the conference table: "My brother always manages to surprise people."
Luo Yunqing smiled silently, offering no further explanation, only saying, "Thank you."
"Is it because of what happened last year?" Song Moyan paused before continuing, "Because I caused you to lose the bid, wasting two months of hard work, and you're taking revenge on me?"
"Brother, you think too highly of yourself." Although Luo Yunqing was smiling, the smile never reached his eyes: "Repaying you doesn't have to be done in such a complicated way, but that matter did prompt me to speed up my pace."
With the words already so blatant, what else could Song Moyan not understand? "From the very beginning, you wanted the Song family's assets?"
"Now it's in my hands." Luo Yunqing casually glanced around, his gaze landing on the father and son's expressive faces. "It's nothing special."
"Okay, okay!" Song Moyan said twice.
Now that he's been stripped of his position, even if he's still unwilling, he has no way to resist the methods used. "You are indeed more capable than me, I admit defeat."
Without any hesitation, he strode away.
In an instant, only two people remained in the conference room, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and sharp.
Song Jingguo narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her: "Did Pei Yanli teach you to do this?"
Luo Yunqing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This action seemed to confirm Song Jingguo's guess. His eyes suddenly widened, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "You want to hand over my Song family to Pei Yanli!"
"Why would President Song think that way?" he didn't understand. "Couldn't it be me?"
"Would you have done this without Pei Yanli?"
“Indeed.” Luo Yunqing could not deny it. “After all, he was the one who gave me the initial capital to start Aetheris. Not only that, he also taught me how to manage the company, how to choose partners, what kind of business deal should be negotiated to satisfy both parties, and so on and so forth… I am fortunate to have been nurtured by him, which is why I am sitting here today, instead of like my father.”
"What about me? Didn't I ask you to intern at the company in the first place?"
"Are you doing this for my sake?" Luo Yunqing retorted. "Or are you just using me as a free tool to create a potential crisis for Song Moyan?"
"I……"
"You really didn't know about the bidding?" Luo Yunqing directly tore off his false mask: "You knew, you knew that Song Moyan had secretly tampered with things, but you still blamed me for everything, and you left your office door wide open and berated me as worthless."
Song Jingguo hurriedly explained, "I was just angry for a moment."
"Just a moment?" Luo Yunqing shook his head with a smile. "No, it wasn't just a moment, it was premeditated. It was all to let those shareholders who had high hopes for me hear how useless I was, that I couldn't even handle such a small matter as bidding, and also to... vent my anger over the half-jar of Fenjiu I had before that."
Song Jingguo averted his gaze in an instant.
"What, did I guess right?" Luo Yunqing suddenly stood up, placed her hands on the table, and carefully examined the man in front of her.
"As the head of the Song family, you allow your subordinates to embezzle public funds, abuse their power, and do whatever they want! Have you really not noticed at all that the Song family has been corrupt and declining in recent years? Or are you just turning a blind eye?"
In preparation for the bid, he studied various reports from previous years and found that not only procurement, but also finance and risk control, almost every important department had similar issues. Although there were no problems on the surface, upon closer inspection, they were not worth scrutinizing.
"As a father, you neither raised them well nor gave them enough love. You only love yourself."
Enraged, Song Jingguo slammed his fist on the table, his eyes wide with fury: "How dare you talk to me like that! Even if you've grown up, you're still my son!"
“Your youngest son is named Song Xuechen, not me, Luo Yunqing.”
"You, you..." Song Jingguo couldn't find any other words, only able to curse, "You've gone too far!"
“Didn’t my father never have any expectations of me? Coincidentally, neither did I.”
Luo Yunqing slowly withdrew her hand from the table and walked to his side: "But I still want to thank you, thank you for marrying me off to Pei Yanli. This is probably the best decision you've ever made in your life."
"Xiao Qing!"
Before he could leave the conference room, Song Jingguo hurriedly called out to him, "You can't give the Song family to Pei Yanli!"
Even now, he still thinks that Pei Yanli was behind it all?
He's hopeless.
"Don't worry, he doesn't even look at the Song family, he only has eyes for me."
…………
After refilling two cups of tea, the phone on the table finally rang.
[Wife A]: Almost over~
Pei Yanli immediately replied: Okay, I'll come pick you up.
[Wife A]: Okay! Waiting for you~
[Wife A]: (Kiss)
The self-made animated character looks like a cute wife kissing you through the screen.
Pei Yanli unconsciously curled her lips into a smile, her thumb tracing the GIF in the air until the old man suddenly called out "A-Li" and brought her back to her senses.
What did you say?
The old man was both amused and exasperated: "I say, now that Xiao Luo has made something of himself, shouldn't you consider taking over my position?"
Let this old man in his eighties rest and enjoy his retirement.
"good."
This time, Pei Yanli did not hesitate at all.
The old man, probably due to his advanced age, was a bit slow to react. "Wait a little longer? When will that be? Look at the Tang family, they've already taken over. As for me, at my age, I still have to worry about this and that..."
"Master." The steward quickly nudged his shoulder.
The old man suddenly became stubborn: "Why are you stopping me? What did I say wrong?"
Steward Zhang felt even worse than him: "Second Master said it's okay."
"He said yes...yes!" The old man finally reacted, so excited he almost jumped up. "Good, good! We've finally waited for this day."
“I can succeed as the head of the family.” Pei Yanli reminded him, “Don’t forget about the mistress’s affairs.”
"I won't forget it." As long as he's willing to take on this responsibility, the old man will handle anything, no matter how big the matter is. "With Xiao Luo's great achievements now, those old guys probably won't have anything to say anymore."
The acting head of the family has been delaying his succession for two years, which has made the old man anxious, and the clan elders even more anxious.
The fact that the successor was not taking office soon meant that their designated heir could not bypass the head of the family and take office ahead of time, which worried them greatly.
Suddenly, news arrived, and everyone nodded their heads faster than a money printing machine could count money. Only one clan elder offered some criticism to the matriarch.
It's a man.
Looking at all the prominent families in Yanjing, which one has a man as the matriarch, let alone one who will never have children?
So what if you don't have children?
"If the two children get bored in the future, we can just adopt one of them from the clan."
"It's no big deal. Look at your age, you're always so busy."
………
The only person who tried to voice an opinion was immediately silenced by the old man, who led the way.
“I think Lao Qi wants to work a few more years. How about this, let’s buy a small island for a vacation and let him continue working on his own, so he can interact more with the younger generation.”
"No, I was just giving you a heads-up. Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, I'll shut up. Which island are you guys planning to buy, brothers?"
…………
The clan elders unanimously approved it.
While the group was enthusiastically discussing which scenery was best, Pei Yanli poured cold water on the discussion: "Let me ask Xiao Luo if she'd like to."
The elders: "..."
On the way from the Song family alone, Luo Yunqing received several phone calls from the elders of the Pei clan, and just a second before getting into the car, she received another call from the old man.
"What's wrong with everyone? Why are they all suddenly congratulating me?" With the air conditioning on in the car, Luo Yunqing, feeling hot, quickly took off her black trench coat over her suit jacket and loosened her tie. "The news spread so fast?"
“The news came out a while ago.” Pei Yanli loosened his tie and the top two buttons of his collar, saying casually, “In addition, Father plans to step down and has asked me to succeed him as head of the family.”
"That's great." Luo Yunqing took a couple of sips of the pear soup he brought. "During this time, Dad has been asking me every few days. If you keep delaying, I feel like Dad is going to have a breakdown."
"So I agreed."
Pei Yanli pinched his neck and poked his cheek. "Now I'm planning to hire you as the mistress of my Pei family. I wonder if you'd be willing?"
Luo Yunqing gulped down a mouthful of pear soup. "The elders agreed?"
"They couldn't be happier."
No wonder.
I just received a series of phone calls.
"Is Xiao Luo willing?"
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
Pei Yanli paused for a moment, then nodded: "Of course."
He immediately pulled the person into his arms and rubbed his cheek against hers, saying, "Then I'll ask again tomorrow."
What if you don't want to tomorrow?
"Ask again the day after tomorrow."
"What if the day after tomorrow..."
"Then the day after tomorrow, the day after that."
"Tsk, this is too much trouble." Luo Yunqing pinched his chin and kissed him. "I'll agree to it now, I'm willing."
