I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
Wang Meng licked her lips and looked at Xiao Ran seriously before continuing, "President Yan hasn't been in good spirits lately. I've seen her crying in her office several times. Actually, she's very regretful, regretting that she did so many extreme things that have distanced herself from you all."
Xiao Ran didn't speak, but held his hand halfway up his nose.
To be honest, he thought she was quite happy at that time.
After all, it wasn't him who was demanding a divorce, but her.
Seeing that Xiao Ran remained silent, Wang Meng continued, "Actually, although President Yan appears cold and selfish on the surface, all she seeks is family affection. It's just that she has never learned how to express it. Perhaps she has been too assertive for too long, and even expressing her inner feelings is seen as a sign of weakness."
Making things difficult for Yan Xici and Xiao Ran is not out of hatred, but because they care.
The more you care, the more you'll try to get them back to your side.
Xiao Ran looked up at Wang Meng's face and said, "These things are all in the past now. I think she should be quite happy now."
Actually, I never hated her.
As for what happened before, it's fair to say that no one had a good time.
Everyone has their own troubles.
Although when I heard Wang Meng say these things, I felt that Yan Li did seem to be in a pretty bad situation.
But that doesn't mean that he and Yan Xici were doing well.
Yan Xici was almost cyberbullied. These things really can't be explained away with just a word of understanding.
I may not hate, but I can't empathize with what you feel.
"Actually, the main reason President Yan chose to hand the company over to you is to make up for her guilt towards you before, since she did make many mistakes. That's just how she is. Once she feels indebted, she can't feel at ease."
Besides, if you resolve this now, things like holding a wedding or buying a house will cost a considerable amount of money later.
She probably made these decisions, which is why she decided to give you the company directly. As long as the company is managed well, none of these issues will be a problem.
I've said everything I needed to say.
This is the last thing I can do for President Yan.
To be honest, Xiao Ran had never met Yan Li before, a person who was so loyal and righteous.
He was a little confused. "So, according to what you're saying, she actually had the idea of quitting a long time ago?"
Xiao Ran was genuinely curious about this.
“During this period, she looked very tired. She had lost her arrogance, but she also lost her drive and enthusiasm. She had clearly lost interest in her work.”
Wang Meng wasn't lying; Yan Li had been in this state for some time now.
Xiao Ran finally understood. Yan Li's words yesterday were a complete lie. She was trying to keep him calm and get him to come to the company. By the time he found out the truth, Yan Li was already in a bad state. In that case, even if he wanted to back out, it would be too late.
"I see."
Xiao Ran nodded.
It seems that the company now has no choice but to accept the situation, whether it wants to or not.
"Alright, Mr. Xiao, now that we've finished with the small talk, let's get down to business."
Wang Meng bowed slightly, then her expression instantly turned serious.
This has always been her and Yan Li's way of getting along: they can chat casually, but when it comes to work, they have to be 100% serious!
Xiao Ran was clearly still a little unaccustomed to this kind of pace.
He blinked. "Go ahead."
"Just as you arrived, I held a meeting with all the senior executives. Now all the employees in the company should know about the change of boss. So, I have arranged a company-wide meeting for you in the coming days."
After Wang Meng finished speaking, she moved a folder on the table in front of Xiao Ran.
"Here is the speech I wrote for you. If you don't know what to say, just say what's written here. There shouldn't be any problems. The main purpose is to let everyone get to know the new boss and to establish your authority in the company."
Having started as an assistant, Wang Meng's work is much more meticulous than that of the average person.
Xiao Ran was quite satisfied with this attitude, but he did not intend to use Wang Meng's speech. Unlike Yan Li, he felt that prestige was not something one could build for oneself.
It is not about others' genuine recognition of you, but about others' heartfelt approval of you.
Recognition and admiration are the true sources of authority.
His authority was merely superficial; he wasn't that kind of person.
He prefers to let his actions speak for themselves rather than just making empty promises.
Xiao Ran nodded. "Okay, I understand. You just need to tell me the time and place."
Seeing his calm demeanor, Wang Meng couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Our company has about two hundred people."
Even President Yan would need to write a speech for such a scene.
But Mr. Xiao actually didn't want it?
Is this really possible?
Seeing her uncertain look, Xiao Ran smiled and said, "What, are you afraid I can't do it?"
"No, no, no, I was just worried."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran straightened up and looked at Wang Meng's face seriously. "Don't forget, this company is the result of Yan Li's hard work over the years. You can't bear to part with it, and neither can I."
Wang Meng's heart sank, and she nodded, "Understood, President Xiao, I'll make the arrangements right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.
As she closed the door, she actually thought to herself that if Xiao Ran were to manage the company, he might really have a bright future.
