Chapter 25 Chapter 25 I have always been humble to him...
The scene was quiet.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Ji Ning himself was stunned.
At the beginning, He Xiangrong and Xin Tong openly exposed their hostility and asked all department managers and senior executives to take sides in public in the conference room.
Among the 8 people, 5 went to He Xiangrong.
There are still 3 parked in place.
0 people publicly chose to support Xin Tong.
Ji Ning is one of those three cowardly cowards.
She was disappointed with He Xiangrong, disappointed with Kelly, disappointed with the entire workplace environment and even disappointed with her own life.
But she was powerless to change. She could only stand there silently, a coward. She planned to resign next month, but she didn't dare to resist, so she had to quit on her own.
She thought that the new president must be extremely disappointed in her.
The conference room was packed with people, including Kelly and the various senior executives and major shareholders of the Morikawa Group. He Xiangrong's dismissal had caused a stir, sending shockwaves through the company.
Amidst a crowd of middle-aged men in black suits, in a company where male executives hold 90% of the power, a young woman in her early twenties, wearing bright lipstick and a pink dress, stood in the center of the conference room. Facing the chairman's shocked gaze, she calmly and casually spoke aloud:
"I am now appointing Marketing Manager Ji Ning to the position of CEO of Kelly Company."
The sound of gasps echoed in the silent conference room. The people in the crowd all turned their heads back one by one, and finally everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Ning in the corner.
Ji Ning stood still.
She clenched her already sweaty palms before she heard her own surprised voice.
"But, but. I didn't choose you."
"That time, I..."
"Resistance doesn't just mean supporting me in public."
Xin Tong shook her head and looked at her.
“There are no degrees of resistance.”
"As long as you don't go to him, you're supporting me."
"That's enough."

When walking out of the company building, Xin Tong received a call from Ji Ning.
The other woman's tone was intense, yet incredibly serious, almost terrifyingly solemn. She made a firm promise, word for word, that she would work hard and live up to Mr. Xin's expectations and trust. She would do her utmost to manage the company, taking care of all administrative matters, leaving Mr. Xin with ample time and energy to research all his ideas and perspectives related to product and design.
"Leave it to me, please rest assured."
Xin Tong hung up the phone and turned to look at the clear sunset in the distant sky.
All matters concerning the former president of Kelly Company have come to an end.
From now on, this company will belong to her completely and entirely.
*
An explosive piece of news on the career forum was pushed to the front page again, and the entire forum was in an uproar.
Kelly's entire senior management team has undergone a major shakeup, with the former marketing manager being promoted to CEO.
Comment:
"He Xiangrong was dismissed? What happened?"
"I heard someone was sent to kidnap Xin Tong, but ended up getting beaten up by Xin Tong instead."
"Holy crap! Huge melon!"
"He Xiangrong got his ass kicked before, and now he's really become a legal geek and is going to jail."
"You deserve it. You deserve it."
"Marketing manager? What's his name?"
"Just found out, his name is Ji Ning. His resume is okay, but I don't see anything particularly outstanding."
"From department manager to CEO in one go, it's a real road to success."
"Xin Tong personally selected him and announced it in front of all the senior executives of Morikawa and He Chuan."
"Not only that, all the old boss's former subordinates have been laid off. From now on, Kelly truly belongs to Xin Tong."
"You know what, this Xin Tong is quite impressive. I thought she would be suppressed by He Xiangrong all the time, but I didn't expect that in just a week, she would wipe out the whole gang."
——As soon as this comment was posted, it was pushed to the top.
"What? A week?!"
"Oh my god, why do I feel like she's been back home for a month?"
"Impossible, there's no way it's only been a week. She's been causing trouble all the time, with posts about her on the forums every day. How could it only be a week?"
"Just one week, yes, I just went to see it specially."
"Is there a possibility that she makes you feel like she's around for more than a week? It's because her existence is so turbulent. Whatever she does, people will discuss it. If she keeps posting, it will always be popular."
…
Everyone began to count all of Xin Tong's achievements within a week.
On Saturday night, while still studying in North America, he attended the housewarming party of Yu Chengjin, the son of the Yu family in San Francisco. He forcibly molested Aiden, and made Zhang De, the son of the Zhang family, so angry that he fainted on the spot.
He returned to China on Sunday and staged a shocking fall at the Wucheng Empire Hotel, announcing to the world that he would make Kelly, which had suffered losses of several hundred million, profitable and inherit all the assets of the Morikawa Group.
I went to Kelly on Monday and treated the whole company to an expensive afternoon tea at my own expense. The whole company was given a holiday and a bonus of 5,000 yuan was given out.
On Tuesday, he was spotted going to Jiang's suit store, presumably to get himself a high-end custom-made suit.
I went to Kelly on Thursday and had a big fight with the former president He Xiangrong in the conference room. Everything went to waste and I was taken to the police station that night.
He was kidnapped by He Xiangrong on Saturday afternoon and somehow escaped.
Finally, he went to the headquarters of Morikawa Group. He Xiangrong was dismissed from his position, Kelly's senior management was reshuffled, and Ji Ning was appointed as CEO.
...has done so many great things.
In the end, all in all, it was only exactly one week.
Some people admired her awesomeness and underestimated Xin Tong. Perhaps the title of "Wucheng's No. 1 Waste" should be changed.
Some people still sneer and say that if changing people can save the losses, Kelly should have succeeded long ago after having changed so many professional CEOs and design directors.
But more people began to join the discussion excitedly.
In their eyes, Xin Tong was originally just a distant and obscure figure in the wealthy circle; but now she seems to have become a highlight that they have to watch every week.
Everyone is very interested and curious to know what she will do in the next stage, in which direction she will lead Kelly, and in the fierce battle for the successor of the Morikawa Group, whether she can really break through the siege in the end.

This wealthy daughter who has become the center of discussion in Wucheng,
At this moment, she was wearing pajamas, with a black mud mask on her face, lying on her huge king-size bed with pink curtains, staring at the screen of her mobile phone.
Xin Tong's muscles ached all over and she felt exhausted.
She is so tired.
She really wants to rest.
She really wanted to order three shy pretty boys with a bust size of 100cm to give her a full body oil massage in uniform.
——But no.
After the personnel change problem of Kelly Company was completely resolved, there was another important main task waiting for her.
"well."
Xin Tong sighed.
She was waiting for the eldest son of the Jiang family to approve her WeChat friend request.
Since she and Jiang Chongyan met, they have been inexplicably tied together and experienced so many things, but she has never added him on WeChat.
There had been so many unexpected events over the past few days, one thing after another. The note Yu Chengjin had given her with Jiang Chongyan's phone number on it lay quietly at the bottom of her bag until now.
"Waiting for verification from the other party."
The application was submitted three times.
There was no response from the other side.
Two hours passed, Xin Tong gritted her teeth and stared at the phone screen.
She was so angry. When had she, Xin Tong, ever begged others like this?
It’s always others who beg her to add her on WeChat!
She was furious. She opened Song Qingyun's WeChat and sent him a video call.
"That's the guy I mentioned last time, the one I asked to do something for him and who ended up hating me."
Xin Tong was furious, "I'm so mad!"
"Yeah. I see." Song Qingyun nodded blankly from the other side of the screen. "He was so angry that his face turned black."
“…That’s my mud mask!”
Xin Tong became even angrier.
Song Qingyun quickly tried to remedy the situation, "How about we treat the problem first? First, think about why he hates you."
Xin Tong snorted.
"Isn't it just that I slapped his butt, kicked him into the swimming pool, said his pecs were bigger than a male model's, said he looked like a junk collector wearing rings and necklaces, bit his nipples, licked his collarbone, and fought with his dog."
"Is he so prejudiced against me?"
“How stingy!”
"I'm always humble in front of him!"
Song Qingyun: "...are you being humble and modest now?"
Xin Tong was confident and righteous.
"I said hello and thank you to him!"
There was silence on the other side.
Xin Tong waited for an answer from the other side, but she saw on the screen that Song Qingyun's expression suddenly became a little strange.
Song Qingyun raised his head and looked towards the door, as if he had discovered someone there.
Then, his expression suddenly became a little panicked.
Immediately afterwards, Xin Tong heard a deep male voice coming from the speaker of the mobile phone.
Very low, emotionless, even fierce and cold.
"Who are you talking to on the phone?"
Xin Tong was stunned by these six words and immediately understood what they meant.
It’s Song Tingfeng.
Xin Tong is rarely afraid of anyone.
But she has been afraid of Song Tingfeng since she was a child.
In her impression, Song Tingfeng never smiled or spoke much. The Song family was engaged in the biopharmaceutical industry, and he became the leader of the Song family at a young age. He was said to be experienced and ruthless, and no one dared to provoke him.
Song Qingyun is timid by nature, and it was only when he played with Xin Tong since he was a child that he became a little crazy.
But as soon as she was in front of Song Tingfeng, she would become that silly and timid look again.
On the screen, the young girl looked a little panicked.
"No."
"It's Xin Tong."
Song Qingyun lowered his head, counted on his fingers, and spoke in a low voice.
"We were just chatting before going to bed."
Footsteps were heard from the opposite side.
The man walked up to Song Qingyun step by step, lowered his eyes, and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone.
Xin Tong and he happened to meet each other's eyes across the screen.
"...Brother Tingfeng." Xin Tong greeted him with a dry laugh.
The man looked at her indifferently, scanning the black and white mask marks on her face and her loose pajamas.
Confirmed that Song Qingyun was not lying and was really talking to Xin Tong on the phone.
Just the nightly gossip of young girls.
He ignored Xin Tong and turned his gaze away indifferently.
"The phone is hung up."
"Drink the milk."
"Go to bed early."
"...I want to make another call..."
"Song Qingyun."
Song Tingfeng interrupted her without mercy, plopped a glass of milk on the table, and stared down at her condescendingly.
"Do you want me to feed you or do you drink it yourself?"
Both on and off the screen, Song Qingyun and Xin Tong were stunned when they heard these words.
Song Qingyun looked flustered, his eyes wide open. He looked at Song Tingfeng for a moment, then at Xin Tong on the screen, and immediately frantically tried to turn off the sound. But the next second, a large hand from outside the screen reached out and mercilessly hung up the call.
The video call was terminated.
“…” Xin Tong sat on the bed and frowned.
She knew Song Tingfeng was strict. The way they interacted with each other had been like this for years. Xin Tong had witnessed it before and lamented that the Song family's education was too strict. Fortunately, her own family had a free-range environment, allowing her to indulge herself.
However, Xin Tong didn't finally feel something was wrong until today.
A 22-year-old woman didn't even have the right to have a video call with a friend before bed. She was supervised while she slept, her phone use was monitored, and she was even "fed milk"—Xin Tong suddenly realized that Song Qingyun's panicked expression at the end was because she didn't expect Song Tingfeng to say such a thing before he hung up the phone.
Xin Tong had been in too many romantic places. She instinctively realized that the action of "feeding a drink" must have an ambiguous meaning.
“…”What is she thinking?
Xin Tong shuddered and slapped his head hard.
They are siblings with the same father and mother!
This is how brothers and sisters get along with each other. Song Qingyun might be the little princess in the Song family who has everything she wants.
Xin Tong secretly despised herself, wondering if her heart was too dirty and everything she saw was dirty.
She sent a message to Song Qingyun, "What's wrong? Is your brother not angry?"
The other party quickly replied, "No, don't worry! He just wants me to adjust my sleep schedule and go to bed early."
A cute cat emoticon pack is also included.
Xin Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
The tone seemed normal. She was indeed overthinking it.
The two chatted by typing and returned to the previous topic.
Song Qingyun gave her some advice, "Actually, I think you should just go directly to him tomorrow and ask him to approve your friend request in person."
"But how do I know where to find him tomorrow?"
Xin Tong had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized something and shut his mouth.
No, she actually knew.
"You're right! I understand!"
Early the next morning.
The pink Rolls-Royce sped all the way from the garden houses in the main urban area to the bustling commercial district, and finally stopped in front of a building.
The streets were covered in graffiti, and passersby had red and green hair. In front of the door stood a sign with red letters on a black background, with a line of large characters written on it:
"BEGIN Street Dance Studio".
