Chapter 124 Returning the Store Back
As soon as the meeting ended, Song Yilin left.
Chen Yan also came out, and Song Yilin turned around to signal Chen Yan that they could talk about their business.
Chen Yan led Song Yilin to his office with a grin.
A moment later, his secretary brought over a document.
Song Yilin flipped through it briefly.
It turns out that Zhou Jian used the money from selling Xin'ao Group to open several more 4S stores, but he couldn't get a strong car brand, so they've been operating at a loss since they opened.
To Song Yilin's surprise, Zhou Jian recruited both Wang Xiasheng and Zhang Ren into his company.
Seeing that Zhou Jian wanted both of those people, it's clear he had no one else of value to rely on.
Didn't he have many key personnel at ENN Group before? Why didn't those key personnel leave with him?
I haven't kept track of how the key personnel who were transferred to the branch office are doing for a while. I'll have to ask Xu Qingmin when I get back tonight.
After a quick look, Song Yilin returned the documents to Chen Yan.
Song Yilin took the teacup and took a sip: "Mr. Chen, what are you trying to say by showing me this?"
Chen Yan lit a cigar in his office and said, "Can't you tell? Zhou Jian and Wang Xiasheng are deliberately messing with you."
Song Yilin wasn't surprised by these people; she had already expected it, so there was nothing unexpected about it.
"Thank you for informing me, Mr. Chen."
"There's one more person who will definitely surprise you."
Song Yilin looked up at Chen Yan's arrogant face: "Who?"
"Song Shiyu, Xu Qingmin's former secretary, I don't really know why she hates you so much."
This is quite unexpected. Didn't she go to the branch office? It turns out I've been keeping an eye on her all along.
If it were Song Shiyu, he wouldn't be so active; Song Shiyu and Xu Qingya have a special relationship.
"How much did she participate?"
"She was the mastermind behind this, but she didn't get involved at all; it was all done by those three people."
Wang Xiasheng couldn't possibly come up with such a thing. As for Zhou Jian, he wouldn't even consider it. He would only do such a thing if someone instigated him.
After all, the deed was done, and it didn't have a big impact on Song Yilin. At most, it just annoyed her. The people who wanted to annoy her the most were probably Wang Xiasheng, Zhang Ren, and Song Shiyu.
Zhou Jian was probably thinking of a way to kill her with one blow.
Unfortunately, she has the backing of the Xu Group. If you want to get rid of her, you have to get rid of the Xu Group first.
If he could have taken control of the Xu Group, he wouldn't have lost the Xin'ao Group.
Song Yilin understood and returned the documents to Chen Yan: "Thank you, Chen Yan. I should go now."
"Wait, I promise you."
He then asked his secretary to bring him a document, which was the ownership certificate of the store.
“I never go back on my word. If I say it’s still the Xu Group, then I return it to the Xu Group.”
Song Yilin immediately pushed it back: "I can't accept something for nothing. Since Xu Qingmin is willing to give you the store for free, it's yours."
“If you don’t take it, I’ll go to jail, and this shop might not be able to stay. There’s a deal: after I go to jail, I’ll give you the 50 million. Keep it safe.”
Song Yilin directly refused: "I'm sorry, I won't help you with the transfer of assets. It's money that belongs to the country, so you should return it."
Chen Yan pleaded, "That 50 million is the profit share from the factory for disabled people, it's clean. Please hold onto this 50 million for me. If there are any problems with that factory after I go in, please use this 50 million to save them."
This was the first time Song Yilin had seen the arrogant Chen Yan act like he was begging for help, and she was suddenly a little moved.
Although many of the things he did were inhumane, Chen Yan should be considered a lucky star and a benefactor to those disabled people.
Song Yilin looked at the equity transfer agreement and was reluctant to accept it.
She didn't want to sign the document. Chen Yan was willing to give her a clean and tidy shop after she came all this way. If she also helped Chen Yan take care of his factory, what would Xu Qingmin think? If she didn't want it, it was all money.
But only with one store can the Xin'ao Group be complete. Thinking of the clear eyes of those disabled people, I felt a little reluctant.
If it were the old store, Xin'ao Group would have been right not to take it, but the current store has been thoroughly cleaned up by her.
Chen Yan noticed her hesitation and placed the document directly on the table: "If President Song doesn't want to help the Xu Group take over the store, then I'll have my secretary prepare a new one, which I'll personally give to you."
Giving it to her personally would be even worse. If she took over a store on her own, not only would Xu Qingmin have second thoughts, but many people in the group would also have second thoughts. There might even be rumors that she embezzled, and people would probably say that she was juggling Chen Yan and two eligible bachelors.
"If I can manage your factory, I'll help take care of it, but forget about the shop."
"If you don't take this shop, how will I know you'll really help me take care of them?"
Song Yilin wanted to call Xu Qingmin, but Chen Yan actually took her phone and threw it aside: "You're the CEO of Xin'ao Group, you don't even have this much autonomy, do you?"
"No, I just need to talk to my husband."
When Song Yilin mentioned the word "husband," Chen Yan's pupils trembled slightly, and his jaw muscles tightened subtly. After a moment, he said calmly, "Is Xu Qingmin that insecure? You're even afraid that Xu Qingmin will overthink this?"
It must be said that Chen Yan is truly adept at observing people's expressions and understanding their nature.
Song Yilin took her phone back, but didn't make that call again.
Chen Yan knew she would agree, and she could make the decision, but Song Yilin didn't want to agree to Chen Yan's request so soon.
"I'll go back and tell you the answer from Xu Qingmin. I'm sorry, I really can't make that decision."
She went back and told Xu Qingmin that she agreed because she didn't want those disabled people to be left without anyone to protect them in the future, as a sign of respect for him.
Chen Yan didn't press her further and waved his hand, "Alright, I'll wait for President Song's good news."
"Alright, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Chen. I'll be going now."
Chen Yan picked up his coat and stood up as well: "I'll see you off."
"No need, Mr. Chen, I've already called a car."
Chen Yan didn't care at all about Song Yilin's rejection and impatience.
Song Yilin reiterated, "Chen Yan, I have to catch my flight."
"I also need to catch a flight."
Song Yilin was speechless at Chen Yan's shamelessness.
Song Yilin ignored him and went downstairs on her own.
Chen Yan followed closely behind.
The driver Wang Qianqian had called for her was parked downstairs. Song Yilin had just gone upstairs when Chen Yan followed.
The driver asked Song Yilin somewhat hesitantly, "Ms. Song, should we drive?"
Song Yilin rolled her eyes, but still maintained her manners: "President Chen, your company has so many cars. If you also need to travel, please take your own company car."
"I'm going to the airport too. Since you're going, it's not unreasonable for me to hitch a ride, is it?"
Song Yilin clenched her fists so tightly that her gums felt like they were about to break.
Take a deep breath.
