Chapter 179 Being sidelined
Song Yilin picked up the documents that Vice President Chu had just dropped and returned them to him.
“Vice President Chu, you can’t even control your temper and you still want to control Lijiang Group? I have no interest in Lijiang Group. You should have inquired about me. I can marry Xu Qingmin and I can take the Xu Group. But suddenly marrying Chen Yan, it’s definitely not for Lijiang Group.”
Vice President Chu sneered: "That's because Xu Qingmin was wary of you. When he married you, he signed a prenuptial agreement with you. Xu Qingmin knew your wolfish ambitions. It's a pity that President Chen, who is smart all his life, was still deceived by your face."
Song Yilin touched her face. She wished that her face, which she used to like, could have brought her many advantages. She also used her face to achieve good sales performance and rise from a sales assistant at Xin'ao Group to the general manager of Xin'ao Group Jianghai Store.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, this face is also something that people will think about, and it's easy for people to think that she got to where she is by selling herself.
"President Chu is indeed well-informed about inside information, but not so well-informed. The prenuptial agreement with Xu Qingmin was signed voluntarily by me, not by Xu Qingmin."
"You just wanted to marry Xu Qingmin as soon as possible, but you couldn't sign the contract willingly."
Song Yilin sighed. It really is difficult to change other people's perceptions.
"I don't care what you think of me, our goals are the same, it's all for the good of Lijiang Group. If you really think I'm incompetent, but you can support Lijiang on your own, then you can sideline me."
The agreement with Chen Yan was to safeguard the Lijiang Group, but it didn't stipulate that I had to participate in its operation.
But Vice President Chu, he can't keep this up.
Vice President Chu laughed heartily: "Then you wait and see."
The next day, Vice President Chu convened a meeting by himself.
It was a high-level meeting.
She was not invited.
Although Vice President Chu's position allows her to convene such a meeting, the content of the meeting must be reported to her.
But the meeting ended without reporting it to her.
This is really going to sideline her.
Lijiang Group is not a listed company. Even if Chen Yan is imprisoned, he still holds an absolute share. Now that he has caused so much trouble, and Chen Yan is out, the company will still belong to Chen Yan.
However, Song Yilin could not let her guard down. Lijiang Group could be said to belong to Chen Yan, but if Vice President Chu were to truly take control, he could slowly empty the company or gradually turn Lijiang Group's profitable businesses into his own.
Although she didn't know if Vice President Chu had this purpose, Song Yilin could only remain still for now.
She goes to work as usual. She's pregnant now, so she can't afford to get upset. Her meals are all prepared and delivered by the housekeeper.
After Chen Yan went to jail, she stopped living at his house and bought another one. The people living there were all people she had hired herself.
Of course, it was Xu Qingmin's money that was spent.
Although she wasn't with Xu Qingmin, the child was his, and she wanted to use the child support that Bai Guanqun had paid to support the second child.
Today, the nanny prepared a nutritious meal for pregnant women, which is quite rare.
It's not only nutritious, but also delicious.
She was enjoying her meal when Xiao Zhang came in.
"Mr. Song, aren't you worried?"
What are you worried about?
Xiao Zhang closed the door: "They're undermining you."
"Don't worry, they can only sideline me, they can't kick me out. Right now, things are still calm in Lijiang, so Vice President Chu can keep the company running normally. Why would I bother getting involved? Our purpose here is not to compete with Chen Yan for Lijiang Group, but to help him solve his problems. Now that there are no problems, we can just relax."
However, it will happen soon; the prosecution's decision will take some time.
Her baby wasn't even sitting up properly yet, probably a month old. Once her baby was sitting up properly, she started working.
Seeing how calm and composed Song Yilin was, Xiao Zhang also joined her in drinking tea in Song Yilin's office.
She only realized it after she finished making the tea.
"Mr. Song, you don't seem to be drinking tea lately."
"Yes, I'm pregnant, so I can't drink tea anymore."
Xiao Zhang jumped up.
His expression was extremely complicated.
"Pregnant? Is the child Mr. Xu's or Mr. Chen's?"
Xiao Zhang's expression amused Song Yilin: "No matter whose it is, nowadays, people think it belongs to Chen Yan, but I never say whose it is."
"knew."
As if he had discovered a new continent, Xiao Zhang went up and touched her belly.
"It's amazing that your flat stomach is carrying a child inside."
"You'll have children someday too."
Xiao Zhang withdrew his hand from hers.
"No, I don't want to get married, and I don't want to have children with a man."
Having spent so much time together, it's clear that Xiao Zhang is very resistant to marriage, and even to men.
However, she was unwilling to share her psychological journey with her, nor would she actively pry into other people's privacy.
Xiao Zhang calmed down and sat down with her: "President Song, are we just going to let them do this?"
"This is just the beginning; there's more to come."
Vice President Chu couldn't possibly just want to sideline him; he definitely also wants to kick her out.
Currently, the signing authority for the entire company's development is still in her hands. If Vice President Chu really wants to empty out Lijiang Group, he will definitely find a way to take back the signing authority in her hands.
"Then how should we deal with it?"
"There's no need to deal with it. The crisis will come soon. Vice President Chu, you can't stop it."
It would be even better if President Chu could weather the crisis.
Her current focus is not on fighting with Vice President Chu, but on figuring out how to deal with this crisis.
"Come with me after get off work. Let's invite Zheng Li; he can drink a lot."
She would be very grateful if Vice President Chu could stabilize the internal situation.
Lijiang Group has a wide range of businesses, which sounds nice, but to put it bluntly, Chen Yan does whatever he thinks is profitable.
The advantage is that it has a good ability to withstand risks, which is equivalent to not putting all your eggs in one basket.
However, such groups can only make quick money; they cannot become brands, and it is difficult for them to achieve scale.
Lijiang started out in the downstream real estate industry, but now that business is burdened with debt.
Vice President Chu happens to be from the real estate sector. He started his business alongside Chen Yan and is the second-in-command of Lijiang Group. It's understandable that he might not be convinced by her.
If Chen Yan wants to transform the business, he can't rely on Vice President Chu. On the surface, Lijiang Group is making money, but it's all in debt. If a company like Lijiang Group can't even collect its debts, it's obvious that the industry has no future.
Before setting off, Song Yilin dressed herself up simply. Although she couldn't wear high heels, she could still put some effort into her clothes and styling.
Zheng Li was driving, and Xiao Zhang was giving her a report on the people attending the banquet that day.
Zheng Li is busy with Chen Yan's lawsuit.
She believes Zheng Li will do her best to protect Chen Yan's assets.
Zheng Li glanced at Song Yilin in the rearview mirror: "President Song, I heard that Vice President Chu has been quite uneasy lately."
Song Yilin closed her eyes: "It's okay, let him do what he wants. Our goal isn't to fight him for power. You know best what we're facing next."
As a leader, don't turn your own people into enemies on the spot. If you don't have any useful employees, just find a way to get rid of them.
Vice President Chu is still usable, let him be.
Anyway, he can't get the right to sign off overnight.
