"So you're saying that I'm now a pitiful heiress with both parents deceased, no relatives within three generations, and billions in assets, right?"
[Yes! Little Eight is so sorry, Host. If we had come here sooner, your parents in this life wouldn't have passed away yet, and you could have enjoyed a few more years of happiness.]
Xiao Ba transformed into an alpaca, spitting saliva incessantly.
Nan Qing: "......"
She really doesn't understand human brain circuits.
Oh, and there's also Hachiko.
Possessing billions in assets, pitiful? When can these two words be put together?
Can't we find her a more normal little world?
"Okay, shut up."
"If you keep howling, I'll turn you into alpaca soup."
The little hag was so frightened that it quickly lay down and used its two front paws to cover its mouth.
Nan Qing sorted through her memories and the world story she had received from Xiao Ba.
In this life, she is the heiress of the Ning family, a prominent business family in Beijing. The Ning Group, with subsidiaries spanning multiple industries including pharmaceuticals, technology, and entertainment, boasts a market value of hundreds of billions of US dollars, making it a veritable business empire.
However, half a month ago, Ning's parents died in a plane crash, and as their only daughter, she naturally inherited all of their assets.
This includes a 55% absolute control of the Ning Group, as well as real estate and investments spanning the globe.
However, the passing of Nan Qing's parents has stirred up some of the group's shareholders' ambitions.
Three months later, the Ning family will face a hostile takeover, with the mastermind being the Shen family, another top wealthy family in Beijing.
In the original storyline, the original owner was forced to give up his position on the board of directors and sell his shares, eventually dying in despair.
And Song Beiting, the chosen one of this world, has practically stacked all the buffs of a comeback story.
A gambling addict father, a mother who died young, a dilapidated home, and he survives entirely on scholarships and part-time jobs.
The only intersection between Nanqing and the chosen one was at the end of the month when Tsinghua and Peking Universities celebrated their anniversary. Nanqing was invited back to the university to attend the ceremony and had a brief encounter with the chosen one, who was then a sophomore. Because the chosen one was so good-looking, she arranged for someone to sign him and get him a contract to debut. The chosen one was also very talented and quickly became a multi-award-winning actor.
Xiao Ba lay on the carpet to the side, still feeling sad about its mistake of finding a pitiful character without parents for its beautiful host, but Nan Qing looked on with interest.
The female CEO is interesting; she likes it.
She was more interested in managing the Ning Group than in the family's billions in assets.
As for the Shen family...
She felt that the Ning family was indeed not big enough, and acquiring the Shen family should be enough.
Three days later.
A Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the Ning Group building. Nan Qing, dressed in a satin white suit, got out of the back seat. The suit didn't look old-fashioned on her at all; on the contrary, she looked as beautiful as a cover model who had stepped out of a fashion magazine.
"Ms. Ning, all the directors have arrived."
"Call me Chairman Ning."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning's father's chief secretary, Chen Siyuan, quickly adjusted the way he addressed him.
"Okay, Chairman Ning."
As the only daughter of the Ning couple, Nan Qing inherited 55% of the shares under her parents' names, giving her absolute control over the group. Yesterday, she announced an emergency board meeting, intending to resolve those troublesome matters as soon as possible.
As the elevator numbers climbed higher, Nan Qing looked at her own reflection in the elevator mirror—a tall, radiant woman with pale skin. A slight smile played on her lips as she pondered how to tease that still innocent and naive chosen one.
"bite!"
The elevator stopped on the 58th floor. Nan Qing, wearing high heels, walked unhurriedly through the office lobby, still carrying some of the imperial aura she had brought from the previous world.
The heavy wooden door to the conference room was opened, and Nan Qing's gaze quickly swept over the faces that were either watching the show or looking worried.
She didn't speak, but sat down at the head of the table at the far end. After looking around, she slowly began to speak:
"I have decided to assume the position of Executive Chairman of the Group."
As the group's largest shareholder, her 55% stake gives her absolute control over the group, allowing her to assume the role of executive chairman without a vote and directly take office.
Her tone didn't suggest she was preparing for a vote by the other directors, but rather that she was announcing a decision.
However, some people still don't know their place and use their seniority to bully others.
"Nanqing, look, you've never been involved in the Ning Group's business before, and now you're suddenly being appointed as the executive chairman. Isn't that a bit sudden? How can we directors feel at ease with this?"
Nan Qing looked at the person speaking on the right side of the long table, Director Wang. He still had a concerned smile on his face, and his tone was as kind as if he were advising a willful junior.
Nan Qing did not answer immediately, but instead asked softly:
"Do the other directors have any other opinions?"
Of the seven shareholders, including Nan Qing, five opposed the proposal.
The only one who remained silent was the person who had initially looked at her with concern in their eyes.
Sun Lin was a close friend of Nan Qing's father.
Having found the answer, Nan Qing took a folder from Chen Siyuan, pulled out a report, and looked at Chairman Wang, who had spoken at the beginning.
“That’s right. I had no prior experience with the group’s business. So, Mr. Wang, could you tell me why the overseas branch you were in charge of was profitable before you took over, but suddenly started to lose money in the third year after you took over?”
Nan Qing tapped on one of the numbers above.
"It's quite a coincidence that this point of loss occurred right after you outsourced your warehousing business to 'Chengying Logistics'."
Director Wang's smile froze.
Chengying Logistics, that's his son-in-law's company.
Nan Qing took out the other reports from the folder and threw them in the center of the long table.
"Should I continue our discussion with you all about the financial situation of the branch offices you are responsible for?"
A moment of silence fell over the meeting room, and many directors began to show signs of unease.
Nan Qing didn't dwell on this point; as long as it wasn't done too excessively, she allowed the gray areas to exist.
"Very good, it seems we have reached an agreement. The vote is hereby passed."
"Now, let's discuss the second item on the agenda."
"Regarding personnel adjustments within the group's management team."
She raised her hand to signal, and Chen Siyuan immediately distributed the new documents to the directors present.
"Effective immediately, the current CEO, Li Yan, is hereby dismissed from his post."
The other directors were all surprised that at today's emergency board meeting, Nan Qing would not only take office as executive chairman, but also remove the current CEO, Li Yan, who was handpicked by President Ning. As a result, his daughter wanted to remove him as soon as she took office, which was something no one expected.
Even Sun Lin, who hadn't spoken until now, frowned and said:
"Wouldn't that be too hasty? Li Yan's achievements are undeniable. Removing the CEO without a legitimate reason could cause turmoil in the group's stock market if word gets out."
"Yes, you can't do that recklessly."
"That's right, I disagree!"
