Yao Kehan appeared calm in the WeChat message he sent to Xiang Yongkang, but in fact, he was not calm at all.
When he received the news, he stood up suddenly, his knees banging directly on the table. The freshly brewed coffee instantly spilled onto his laptop, and the computer was blinking and flashing. He didn't bother to pay attention, just held his breath and asked:
"What did you say?!"
The person who tipped off was his secretary, a young woman who admired him immensely. She took the opportunity to call him while she was out getting coffee, and she was nearly in tears.
"It's true, Deputy Yao. The real daughter came to the company today and approved your resignation. I heard it has been handed over to the Human Resources Department for processing."
"Impossible! I..." Yao Kehan almost blurted out, "Who am I? How could she possibly fire me?" but managed to hold it in. "I'm the Vice President of the Group! How could she fire me without the board's consent?"
"But, but... Deputy Yao, that's the dismissal process. Resignation doesn't work that way," the secretary whispered. "According to our company's policy, only dismissals require a meeting. Self-resignation doesn't require a meeting. Just submit your resignation."
Yao Kehan paused.
It seems that there is such a rule, and there is nothing wrong with the fact that he submitted the resignation himself.
He was in charge of business, and he considered himself responsible for making money, and he never took the rules and regulations seriously. Now that he remembered the rules, it was really a bit difficult.
After a while, Yao Kehan finally thought of another reason. "Even if I submit my resignation, I still need the approval of my supervisor before it can be submitted to the HR department for processing!"
As vice president, he only had one supervisor, the chairman. Du Jingyuan was dead, so who could approve his resignation?
"Deputy Yao," the secretary said cautiously, "Ms. Xiang has inherited Chairman Du's shares, so she's your superior."
"..." Yao Kehan was stuck for a moment.
Yes, that's right. Runjia Investment is a family business. Xiang Wanwan inherited all of Du Jingyuan's assets, including 85% of Runjia Investment's shares. Based on her shareholding, she is indeed the chairman of Runjia Investment, but... but... how did she take on the position without any warning? Wasn't there a ceremony?
If I remember correctly, Du Jingyuan was buried yesterday afternoon, and she went to the company this morning? Is there anyone who is so silent!
"Vice President Yao..." the voice on the other end of the phone tremblingly advised, "Actually, as long as the HR department's procedures haven't been completed, you can still withdraw your resignation..."
There is still room for recovery.
"Impossible!" Yao Kehan refused without hesitation.
Are you kidding me? The words have already been spoken, and he is asked to admit his mistakes to a little girl? How can he survive in the future?
He would never voluntarily withdraw his resignation! He would bow to Wanwan and ask her to terminate the resignation process herself and beg him to come back!
There were so many directors and executives present, and Xiang Wanwan didn't know how important his position was. Didn't those executives and directors know? Wouldn't they have advised Xiang Wanwan?
Thinking of this, Yao Kehan felt relieved. He cleared his throat and said, "I've already resigned. How can I take back what I said?"
Of course, other people in the company need to help protest and force Xiang Wanwan to ask him to go back.
Yao Kehan hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and sent a calm message to Xiang Yongkang.
[She signed.]
He has been in a leadership position for many years. His words, seemingly calm, are full of accountability.
I got the news of her signing from somewhere else. What about you? Didn't you claim to be monitoring her? Where did you go?
Sure enough, within half a minute, Xiang Yongkang called. "Deputy Yao, my people..."
"Alright, it's already happened. No need to explain." Yao Kehan cut short all his explanations with one sentence. A mixture of 70% blame and 30% joking reminded him, "Brother Yongkang, your daughter really doesn't know her place. Signing directly? That's too much of a disregard for the board of directors."
Xiang Yongkang understood instantly: "Don't worry, I'll contact the directors right away. We can't just let this go!"
He hung up the phone and flipped through the address book to contact other directors. But at this moment, a voice came out.
"Boss Xiang, I advise you not to do that."
Xiang Yongkang looked up suddenly and saw a young man with his hands in his pockets slowly walking out from the corner of the stairs. It was Ding Zhiyuan.
Tsk! Xiang Yongkang gritted his teeth secretly. He had forgotten that his home was different from before. There were outsiders here!
"Boss Xiang, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. You're the one who never hides when you call, so I'm being aboveboard." Ding Zhiyuan shrugged, his lips curled up in a frivolous way. "If it were me, I wouldn't make this call."
Xiang Yongkang was alert: "What do you mean? What did you hear?"
"I've heard everything I need to hear." Ding Zhiyuan spread his hands. "This Vice President Yao, you're partners in name only, but in reality, he treats you like a subordinate. Listen to the tone he used just now. Isn't that accountability? It's exactly like our leader scolding someone. President Xiang, are you going to bring him back to the Vice President position and then make him his dog?"
This was unpleasant to hear, but it served as a reminder to Xiang Yongkang.
Yao Kehan is so arrogant and annoying.
"If this Vice President Yao is given back his position as Vice President of Runjia Investment, he'll only look down on us even more. And you, for his sake, went against the eldest lady, and ended up gaining nothing. What a shame." Ding Zhiyuan leaned in and whispered in his ear, "This is a golden opportunity. If it were me, wouldn't it be better to pretend to intercede for Vice President Yao and actually unite with the other directors to push one of my own, or even myself, into the position of Vice President? Is it really worth it to use this to target your own Vice President, Yao?"
It seems to be the case! Xiang Yongkang was startled and couldn't help but look up at the young man in front of him.
This kid is not simple.
"Boss Xiang, don't look at me like that. I just think our goals are the same." Ding Zhiyuan took a step back and gave an innocent look. "I want my fiancée back, and you want your daughter back. A woman's job is to stay home and take care of her husband and children. Isn't it good to be a wealthy lady who spends a lot of money? It's unbecoming to act like a man and make a scene in the business world. It's uncultured."
Xiang Yongkang's words resonated deeply with him, and his attitude softened unconsciously. "What do you want?"
"I want to cooperate with President Xiang," Ding Zhiyuan said. "President Xiang, don't worry. I have no other intentions. I just like your daughter. You want money, and I want her and her heart. I promise that once she becomes mine, she will just stay at home every day to take care of her husband and children. How about it?"
Xiang Yongkang didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked him over and asked, "Just you?"
"What else?" Ding Zhiyuan laughed. "Boss Xiang, Xiang Wanwan is like a wild horse. She has a fierce temper, doesn't know how to serve others, and doesn't understand the rules of a wealthy family. You don't really think a rich young man would be interested in such a restless woman, do you? Besides, Boss Xiang, do you want her to marry into a wealthy family, or do you want her to marry a poor boy like me?"
This sentence directly hit Xiang Yongkang's heart. He asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I just need to get a little bit of support from your actions." Ding Zhiyuan pinched his index finger and thumb, making a tiny gesture. "Every time you go against her and hurt her, please tell me so I can comfort her wounded heart. I don't think any woman would refuse a broad shoulder to lean on when she's heartbroken."
Wow, I didn’t expect he was so capable. Isn’t this the method he used to deal with Du Qingjia back then?
Xiang Yongkang looked at Ding Zhiyuan with a different eye and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"Then, Mr. Xiang, add me on WeChat?" Ding Zhiyuan waved his thousand-yuan phone. "It's convenient for communication."
Xiang Yongkang frowned, clearly unhappy, but still added Ding Zhiyuan's WeChat. After sending Ding Zhiyuan away, he began to think about what he had just said and quickly changed his mind.
Although he was still calling the directors of Runjia Investment to complain about Xiang Wanwan's arrogance, his purpose had changed from helping Yao Kehan secure his position as vice president to hinting that he would take over as vice president of Runjia Investment.
——
"He's dreaming—whether it's Xiang Yongkang or Yao Kehan." Xiang Wanwan sipped herbal tea slowly. "People who have been in high positions for a long time often forget that while others recognize their abilities, even more people envy their position. How could those old, shrewd people miss this opportunity? That's the vice president in charge of business!"
Even if it wasn't someone from Runjia Investment vying for the position of vice president, Runjia Investment is the Du family's family business. How could those enemies, both overt and covert, who had finally waited for a willful, young and energetic person to take power, let go of this opportunity?
Just look at how Xiang Yongkang raised Xiang Wanyi and you will know.
You must get used to it first.
No matter how outrageous her actions, you must go along with her, fulfill her wishes, and let her think that she is truly pampered and omnipotent, and that everyone will grant her any request. Cultivate her arrogance until she drives away all those who give her honest advice, until she has played all the cards in her hand, and then you can close the net in one fell swoop.
To seize Runjia Investment now would be to bully the weak heir of the Du family. Once she has torn Runjia apart and driven away all the elders, then to seize Runjia Investment would be justified and would be justice.
But do they really have a chance?
Xiang Wanwan smiled, put down her teacup, and asked, "Has the news been revealed?"
"Yes, the itinerary has been arranged."
——
That afternoon, the Du family bodyguards' duty room received a sudden itinerary arrangement.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Manager Wu Zhiping waved his hand and shouted, "Send six people to escort Assistant Pei out."
Xiang Yanghong's eyes moved, but he didn't say anything at the time. After the people left, he asked, "What happened?"
Those who were on duty at the same time said they didn't know. Xiang Yanghong asked for a long time, until night when the bodyguards who were out came back, he finally got the inside scoop. It turned out that these bodyguards were actually escorting Pei Xingyao to pay the money!
Xiang Wanwan plans to go to a spiritual plant auction and needs to deposit money into the other party’s account in advance!
This is big news! It means Xiang Wanwan's health is still very poor and she needs something to stay alive!
Xiang Yanghong found the right opportunity and sneaked into a blind spot of surveillance in the middle of the night and sent the message.
Just as he put away his phone and was about to return to the duty room, when he turned around, Xiang Yanghong was so scared that he took a step back and his face turned pale.
"Miss, Miss..." He could hardly speak clearly.
Xiang Wanwan, along with her bodyguard manager Wu Zhiping and the bodyguards on duty that day, appeared behind him at some point!
