Su Yan spoke up at the right moment to ease the tension.
"If people still have doubts about my abilities, please allow me a month to prove myself. If I cannot prove myself by then, I will leave willingly."
Her words convinced everyone.
"Alright, then we'll give Ms. Su a month. We'll see you at the board meeting a month from now. I hope Ms. Su won't let President Meng and us down."
When Zheng Yuanming said this, he was all smiles, but in the blink of an eye, his face turned as cold as a deep pool.
Su Yan didn't care at all. Only after everyone had left did she turn her gaze back to Meng Jie.
"Mr. Meng, are you satisfied with what I've done?"
Meng Jie didn't look at her; her gaze remained fixed on Su Yan's exquisite PowerPoint presentation.
"The PPT is well done; it doesn't look like something that was created in just one evening."
After praising her, she suddenly changed the subject: "However, being a CEO doesn't require the ability to create fancy PowerPoint presentations."
After saying this without any politeness, Meng Jie got up and walked out.
Su Yan followed closely behind.
"Why are you so confident in yourself when you set a one-month deadline? Do you still not trust me?" Meng Jie questioned without turning her head.
Su Yan sensed her dissatisfaction and explained, "I studied the information on the directors you gave me last night. Although Zheng Yuanming is key, the other junior directors are not to be underestimated. I must prove my abilities. Do you really think I can stay in the Yi Group without this one-month deadline?"
"Rather than being schemed against by these people and kicked out in a sorry state, bringing shame to your reputation, it's better to admit that I'm not capable enough to handle such a high position and leave voluntarily. At that time, we will still have many options, and at least I won't completely leave the Yi Group."
Meng Jie couldn't help but chuckle, turning her head to glare angrily at Su Yan, and demanded sharply, "You're so clever! You can wait, I can wait, but do you think Yi An can wait?"
Su Yan met her gaze without fear.
“I’m different from you. I believe he will persevere and won’t abandon us. I hope you will believe in him as I do.”
Meng Jie's expression changed, and she turned and left.
Su Yan took a deep breath and followed slowly.
In a coffee shop, Lin Hui swiped her phone in front of He Ziming.
When the news of Su Yan joining the Yi Group and becoming its CEO appeared in He Ziming's sight, Lin Hui also uttered sarcastic remarks.
"You've always dreamed of getting into the Yi Group, and your ex-wife got in for you. How about that? Happy?"
Hearing her gloating words, He Ziming slapped his phone, blocking the eye-catching news.
"That's all because of you! You can't even win a small design competition, yet you dare to brag in front of me?"
Lin Hui was stung by his blunt words, and her expression changed instantly.
"He Zimo, let me remind you one more time: your enemy is not me! It's Su Yan and Yi An!"
He Ziming glanced away coldly, unwilling to look at her again, and spoke rudely.
"Why did you contact me? You didn't just want to tell me this news and laugh at me, did you?"
Lin Hui immediately denied it: "Of course not, we are still allies, we have a common enemy."
He Ziming scoffed, expressing his mockery of the partnership.
Lin Hui: "You don't know yet, do you? The police have already found some clues about that driver. I estimate they'll catch him in a couple of days. Instead of mocking me, you should calculate how many days your mother has left to be free."
He Ziming's expression changed instantly. "What did you say?! Is your information reliable?"
Hearing his urgent question, Lin Hui, displaying her spoiled young lady temper, leaned back arrogantly.
“He Zimo, if you don’t fight back, you’re really going to die at Su Yan’s hands.”
He Ziming lost his patience. "Stop being sarcastic and tell me what I should do!"
"Yi An was there during the finals that day, do you remember?"
Lin Hui's sudden mention of this surprised He Ziming.
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Hui turned her head, took out a photo from her bag, and slapped it in front of him.
He Zimo looked down and saw in the photo that Yi An was opening the car door for Meng Jie.
As he looked at the photo, Lin Hui explained, "This photo was taken by reporters during the finals that day. Yi An and Meng Jie were in the same car that day."
He Ziming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly grabbed the photo to examine it carefully.
"Have you seen Yi'an these past few days?" He slowly raised his head to confirm.
Lin Hui stared at him, shook her head, and tapped the news about Su Yan on her phone screen again.
"Now do you understand why Su Yan was able to get into the Yi Group?"
He Ziming blurted out, "The person who got into trouble was Yi'an."
A hint of sadness flashed across Lin Hui's eyes, but it was quickly masked by ruthlessness.
"As long as we can find Yi An, confirm his current situation, and obtain the evidence, we can turn the tide."
He Ziming gripped the photo tightly, staring at Yi An in it and nodding repeatedly.
"you're right."
When he slowly raised his head again, a familiar car appeared at the entrance of the residential area; it was Su Yan's car.
He Ziming said to Lin Hui on the other end of the phone, "You're right, Su Yan did leave around this time. I'll follow her and let you know if I have any news."
He hung up the phone, started his car, and slowly followed.
Inside Su Yan's car, Su Yan sat in the passenger seat, intently looking at the documents in her hands, completely unaware that a car had been following her.
The car stopped at the hospital entrance. Su Yan told the driver to wait a moment, then led Su Xiaoyu and Yi Kangle into the hospital.
When He Ziming saw the hospital, his eyes lit up. He immediately found a place to park and hurriedly followed.
Along the way, he tried his best to keep his hat low so that Su Yan wouldn't notice him.
He followed Su Yan until they reached the VIP ward, where they were stopped by several bodyguards. Su Yan then turned and entered a ward guarded by bodyguards.
Su Yan pushed open the door and went in. As soon as she saw Yi An on the hospital bed, her eyes welled up with tears.
Yi Kangle, unaware of what was happening, happily pounced on it.
"dad!"
No matter how he called out to her, Yi'an remained motionless and showed no reaction whatsoever.
Yi Kangle frowned, "Why is Daddy still sleeping! What a lazybones! I'm going to tickle him and see if he'll get up."
He stood on a stool and leaned over Yi An's bedside, but no matter how much he tickled her, Yi An didn't react.
Yi Kangle's little hand suddenly fell down. He looked at the tube in Yi An's mouth, and his little face scrunched up again.
"Why is Daddy ignoring Xiaobao?" he asked Su Yan, turning his head with a wronged expression.
