Chapter 139 Apocalypse: I Don't Mind Other People's Business (5)
"What, what did you say?"
Yan Qiyu thought she had misheard and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The others also looked at Changqing in shock, clearly unprepared for this sudden news.
"President Yan, please be careful, the company..."
Someone tried to offer advice, but Changqing interrupted him before he could finish.
"The company can function without anyone, everyone. Don't forget, the Yan family has a well-established system."
“Moreover—” He looked at Yan Qiyu beside him, “Chairman Yan must already have a candidate in mind for general manager, right? I need to make room for him.”
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes turned to Yan Qiyu.
The shareholders fell silent.
We're all smart people. We don't own many shares, so our words don't carry any weight. We shouldn't offend anyone with our first words, or we'll only cause more trouble.
At this point, anyone who wasn't a fool would realize that the two siblings didn't have a good relationship; in fact, they were somewhat antagonistic.
Ms. Yan has already signed the agreement and is now the largest shareholder, which is something the other minority shareholders cannot afford to offend.
Many people can't help but start to worry.
After all, the success or failure of the company's operation is directly related to their own interests. Miss Yan is not very old, yet she already has a candidate for general manager? Of course, this is reasonable. It is normal for a new chairman to use his own people when he takes office. But she is so young, is the person she has chosen reliable? Everyone couldn't help but have a question mark in their hearts.
Yan Qiyu was also flustered.
In the past, she would have been happy to kick Yan Changqing out and then appoint Li Jingxing, but what happened last night had left her very confused and unsure of how to react.
However, she was somewhat proud and would never say anything to persuade her to stay.
Changqing's attitude made her very uncomfortable. He acted as if he knew everything and was very confident, which made her angry.
She tilted her head back and snorted.
"Yes, Yan Changqing, it's good that you have this awareness. I already have someone in mind for the general manager position, so you don't need to worry about it."
Changqing was very satisfied with the answer.
He nodded, stood up, and walked out.
"Then, this meeting will be left to Chairman Yan."
After finishing his business, he felt a sense of relief. A meeting? What's the point of having a meeting? Everything is going to change drastically in a few days.
The expressions on the faces of the people in the room varied.
Everything happened so fast; in less than half an hour, the host of the meeting had changed.
Changqing did not return to the Yan family villa.
The original owner had previously bought a large flat near the company and would occasionally come here to rest. It had all the basic amenities, and the Evergreen Project was set up camp there.
After all, in a zombie apocalypse, high-rise buildings are much safer than villas.
"Wow, this is pretty good."
This is the apartment on the 33rd floor. The decoration is simple. When Changqing pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was the large floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, he could see the bustling street and the majestic Yan Group building in the distance.
This is his preferred style.
He inspected each room and was very satisfied.
What should we do first?
Changqing checked the water, electricity, and gas, and found that they were all working normally, and the balances were still quite good, so there was no need to worry.
The end times came suddenly.
However, the water, electricity, gas, and internet networks will not stop immediately. Instead, they will operate automatically for a period of time before problems arise due to a lack of maintenance.
"The water issue is the most critical."
Changqing sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
Tap water is the first to have problems. Water companies use various chemicals to purify the water source. Without human intervention, the water quality will quickly deteriorate, causing diarrhea if consumed.
"Yes, we need to buy a water purification system, a generator, and we also need to prepare fuel, the more the better."
He turned on his computer and started making a list.
Money is not the problem, the key issue is the tight schedule; only two days, and there are so many things to prepare.
Changqing got busy.
Meanwhile, Yan Qiyu, who had just come out of the conference room, looked rather grim.
"We shouldn't have let Yan Changqing leave. He should have handed over his work properly before leaving!"
After listening to the report for two hours, she felt that she hadn't understood anything at all. Moreover, although those old guys were respectful, she could sense that they didn't show her the same respect they had shown Yan Changqing before.
Annoying!
This is so annoying!
Managing a company is too much trouble; we still need to hire someone.
She originally thought she would give it a try, but after a meeting, she realized that she didn't know anything. The company's affairs were quite different from those in TV dramas and novels.
That's too much trouble.
She had initially hesitated about whether to let Li Jingxing work for the company, but now she didn't have many options.
"How about we let him give it a try? If it doesn't work out, then we can hire a professional manager."
She walked into the general manager's office on the top floor, sat down in the chair that Changqing had used for many years, and frowned deeply.
It's all Yan Changqing's fault!
If you're going to leave, you should at least go through a proper transition period before just packing up and leaving.
"Hmph, with such a terrible work attitude, forget about N+1, he won't even get paid this month!"
Yan Qiyu gritted her teeth and said fiercely.
Just then, her phone rang; it was Li Jingxing calling.
"Honey, are you at the company? Has Yan Changqing been bullying you? I'm right at the company entrance. If you need my help, just call out and I'll rush in to stand up for you!"
On the other end of the phone, Li Jingxing's voice came through, sounding somewhat urgent.
He even changed how he addressed her, calling her "wife" directly, which made Yan Qiyu frown.
What brings you to the company?
Her tone was somewhat cold, but Li Jingxing didn't notice. He was sitting on the waiting sofa in the company lobby, unable to take the elevator upstairs because he didn't have an employee card.
"I've brought you lunch. I've brought you your favorite dishes from Chef Fu."
He replied with a smile that there were indeed packed lunch boxes on the table.
Yan Qiyu's expression relaxed slightly.
"Okay, wait for me to come down."
Before long, she appeared in the lobby and led Li Jingxing to the large office on the top floor.
"You mean you've now fully inherited the shares, and Yan Changqing has already resigned?"
When Li Jingxing learned what had happened that morning, his eyes widened in disbelief. This was incredibly good news!
He originally thought it would be much more complicated.
She even planned to find an opportunity to bring up the will at Yan Qiyu's birthday party in a few days, forcing Yan Changqing to let her inherit the shares as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, I got it so easily.
"Great, great, that's wonderful!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, he couldn't help but shout out what was on his mind.
Yan Qiyu, who was eating, looked up and glanced at him. Only then did Li Jingxing realize his lapse in composure, and he chuckled awkwardly.
"Honey, I'm so happy for you. I originally thought Yan Changqing wouldn't want you to get the shares."
Yan Qiyu's expression darkened upon hearing the name Yan Changqing.
"He can't stop it."
She said it coldly, then lowered her head to eat.
That day, Yan Qiyu stayed at the company. She didn't mention appointing Li Jingxing, but Li Jingxing didn't leave either. When it was time to leave work, he even drove Yan Qiyu home.
Then, he showed no intention of leaving. In fact, he went to the kitchen to help and cooked a table full of dishes with Wang Ma.
"Come, come, let's eat. Qiyu, try my cooking too. This jade meatball is the latest one I learned to make, and it tastes great."
Li Jingxing introduced it with a hint of pride.
Yan Qiyu seemed somewhat absent-minded. She glanced at the dishes on the table, then looked at Wang Ma, and asked with a frown:
"Where is Yan Changqing? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Aunt Wang paused for a moment, then said, "President Yan came by this afternoon and moved all his things out. He said he won't be coming here again."
A fleeting look of joy crossed Li Jingxing's face.
Yan Qiyu's expression changed.
"He... he really said that?"
Wang Ma nodded.
"Miss, did you have a disagreement with Mr. Yan? He came in a hurry today and left without even having a sip of water at home."
Yan Qiyu slowly sat down.
This was somewhat unexpected, leaving her momentarily stunned.
"Come on, let's eat."
Li Jingxing stood up and served her rice.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat silent. Yan Qiyu ate with her head down, her mind replaying the events of the day. She felt overloaded, angry, yet also inexplicably out of control.
"Hey, have a meatball, Yuyu, don't think about those unhappy things."
Li Jingxing observed her expression and served her food.
Yan Qiyu nodded and silently ate her food.
She was indeed feeling confused and had no idea what to do. She had some reservations about Li Jingxing, but they had a past intimate relationship, and she needed comfort right now, so she didn't bother to send him away.
