Chapter 68 The entire group knew that Yu Chong was going to resign.
Xu Yufei thought that for a small fry like her, meeting a big shot like the chairman was basically a pipe dream.
She went there with the attitude of giving it a try, but she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived at the door of the president's office, she saw the loyal special assistant beside the eldest lady.
"Hello, Ms. Xu. Mr. Du thought you might have something to say, so he asked me to wait here." Pei Xingyao has a handsome face and a cold temperament. Even his politeness does not bring any warmth.
Xu Yufei was brought into the president's office and came face to face with the company's so-called eldest daughter.
Runjia Entertainment's subsidiary group usually requires formal work attire, except on Fridays when dress code is optional. As an entertainment company, Runjia Entertainment was filled with beautiful women, vying for attention like blooming flowers. Even their president changed into a black velvet long-sleeved dress, perhaps to appear more dignified and mature, underscoring her age.
The black velvet texture made her skin look pale yet fragile, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
Such a beauty... Just as Xu Yufei had a thought in her mind, she heard the eldest lady ask her: "Do you also think I'm stupid?"
Xu Yufei was stunned.
"I've heard a lot of people think I'm stupid. I'm already a 900 billionaire, so why should I work so hard every day? Can't I just stay at home and let someone else manage the company? Even if I only have 100 or 200 million left, that's enough to stay in bed for the rest of my life."
Du Wanwan looked at her, her tone so gentle that it was hard to tell what emotion she was talking about: "Do you think I'm stupid too?"
Xu Yufei didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Du Wanwan then asked, "Second question, what kind of person do you think Han Jinhong is?"
This time, Xu Yufei's eyes flickered several times. Knowing he had to answer, he chose a way to avoid offending others: "Manager Han really wants to be the financial director."
"He doesn't just want it, he wants it badly, to the point of being driven crazy. He'll kneel down and serve anyone who can make him the CFO," Du Wanwan asked again. "I know that very well. So, why shouldn't I choose someone who's willing to serve me as my dog instead of you?"
Isn’t it because Vice President Yu recommended Han Jinhong first?
A word almost came out of her mouth, but fortunately Xu Yufei finally held it back. She really didn't know how to answer such a question, so she could only smile silently and rack her brains to find words of compliment and evasion.
"Because I didn't come from headquarters to the entertainment sector just to show off. My company doesn't need an obedient, talentless dog as its financial director. I'm not promoting you out of spite, because you're a woman, to go against Yu Chong. I want to continue to develop the business scope of Runjia Entertainment. I just want talented people to get the treatment and positions they deserve." Du Wanwan said, looking at her with a pair of eyes and asked gently, "Do you understand?"
Xu Yufei hesitated for a moment and nodded. He remained silent, but his heart was a little hot.
Was the young lady saying that she was talented? Did she earn the young lady's recognition because of her talent? Had someone finally noticed and appreciated her work in the Finance Department over the years?
"The last question is the same as the previous one. You don't have to tell me. As long as you know the answer, don't lie to yourself, that's all." Du Wanwan's expression didn't even change, and her tone was still as gentle, but for some reason, Xu Yufei felt that those eyes looked deeply into her heart.
She heard the eldest lady ask slowly in her characteristically sickly and cold voice, "Did you hear what I said at the dinner last night? Do you remember? Do you want the position of CFO?"
Xu Yufei's heart trembled, and his lips moved unconsciously, wanting to say something, but Du Wanwan had already looked away.
She glanced at the time and said in a businesslike, indifferent manner, "There's not much time left to rest, Ms. Xu. You can go back first. Go and prepare yourself, whether you're preparing to run alongside or lead."
"...Okay, President Du." Xu Yufei bowed her head and respectfully prepared to leave. She walked towards the office door, and assistant Pei Xingyao, standing outside, seemed to sense it and immediately opened the door for her.
When a door opens, you have to choose whether to go out, stay where you are, or go back. Life is full of choices, and at every moment, it is not up to her.
But every time in the past, she was the one chosen, and others made the decisions for her.
Her parents had chosen her for Runjia Entertainment Group, her former boss from years before had made her a key member of the finance department, the former financial director had wanted her to hone her skills, and Han Jinhong had claimed her work achievements as his own. She'd been chosen for so long that she'd forgotten what she wanted.
At dinner last night, Xu Yufei overheard the young lady chatting with other female employees from other departments, saying, "Just go for it if you want it." She was still laughing. Alas, only a carefree young lady could say that. "Just go for it if you want it?" The young lady had no idea that sometimes, it's not a matter of fighting for something, but rather a lack of opportunity to fight for it.
She was laughing at herself last night and never thought that the opportunity would come to her the next day.
This time, it was a real opportunity, not someone making decisions for her and asking her to do something.
The eldest lady told her that the real answer was for her to know.
"Boss Du!" Xu Yufei suddenly turned around and said without thinking, "That's what I thought."
After saying that, she left.
Yes, that's what she thought. She wanted to make the Finance Department better, to prove her power, and to make Han Jinhong, this useless and ambitious man, leave the Finance Department forever!
The eldest lady is right, if you want it, just fight for it!
Looking at her resolutely leaving back, Du Wanwan knew that she had made the right decision.
She chose the right person.
Since she knew the plot and how Ding Zhiyuan used Han Jinhong to keep the finance department firmly under his control in the original novel, she could have taken the initiative and promoted Han Jinhong to the position of financial director on her first day at Runjia Entertainment. Han Jinhong wasn't just obeying Ding Zhiyuan; he was obsessed with the position and would serve whoever made him financial director.
But she was not a loser like Ding Zhiyuan. She was not saying polite words to Xu Yufei. She just felt that there was no need for a dog who was good for nothing except being obedient to sit in such an important position as the financial director.
It's not like she can't find anyone else.
A person like Han Jinhong is only fit to be used as a stone for her to test Yu Chong.
Du Wanwan carefully read the work documents of the Finance Department and found that the person who did the best job and actually had the best coordination ability was not Han Jinhong, but Xu Yufei.
She didn't believe that a capable person would be willing to be a ghostwriter for a loser like Han Jinhong forever.
A few minutes later, the break was over and everyone returned to the meeting room.
Yu Chong returned to his seat, his face full of confidence. Without waiting for anyone else to speak, he spoke first: "Okay, let's get started now. Jin Hong, you start first."
After several meetings, especially the morning's review meeting for "The Legend of the Orchid," Du Wanwan had become more than just a young lady or mascot at Runjia Entertainment Group. She was now a genuine, credible CEO. No one had considered Yu Chong's previous behavior problematic, but now, after he spoke, many people's faces darkened.
He still thinks he's the CEO? When will it be his turn to make decisions in meetings? Does he think CEO Du doesn't exist?
"Yu..." Several people couldn't help but speak.
Du Wanwan raised her hand to stop him and said gently, "Okay, then according to Vice President Yu's suggestion, Han Jinhong will start first."
I hope that later on, Yu Chong’s look of regret won’t be too obvious, otherwise, he may not be able to accept the consequences of being ridiculed by everyone.
"Okay, okay." Han Jinhong stood up, bowed to everyone, and began his campaign speech facing the computer.
Or, start reading a manuscript.
Everything sounds reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it's all empty talk, clichés, and lies that can be used in any company meeting.
It's simply a standard campaign template worth a hundred dollars.
100 yuan, really can’t be more.
Everyone at the meeting was skeptical: Is this the person Vice President Yu recommended?
They stared at Han Jinhong in amazement at first, and then tried to interrupt him several times, but when they saw that Du Wanwan didn't say anything, they held back. Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Yu Chong.
Yu Chong felt uncomfortable under those suspicious looks, and as he listened, he began to doubt himself.
Is this Han Jinhong here to make people laugh?
No, no, that was impossible. Han Jinhong was recommended by "Mr.", a chance to save himself that he had painstakingly sought. "Mr." had said that if Han Jinhong were appointed CFO, he would obey his orders and, in that position, control the finances of Runjia Entertainment. Naturally, Du Wanwan had no choice but to cooperate with him and admit defeat.
What "Sir" says cannot be wrong.
If he was wrong, he would be exposing himself to a new threat, publicly admitting his poor judgment of people, and his image within the company would be even more tarnished. From then on, no one within Runjia Entertainment would support him.
What if Wu Yong submits another report letter at this time...
Yu Chong suddenly realized at this moment that his high aspirations were actually a gamble. He didn't dare to think about what would happen to him if Han Jinhong failed, and could only constantly comfort himself:
“No…No!”
The more he comforted him, the uglier Yu Chong's face became.
Everyone saw it except Han Jinhong who was still giving an excited speech.
Du Wanwan even changed to a very relaxed posture, supporting her chin with one hand and gently stroking the outer wall of the teacup with the other hand, listening with great interest.
If she had given a speech like this in her previous life, she would have been scolded by her boss and even lost her job.
However, Han Jinhong couldn't be blamed. He had a PhD twenty years ago, but he'd been working behind closed doors for two decades, completely oblivious to current policies. In the original novel, Ding Zhiyuan had simply promoted him to the position of CFO, with no unnecessary steps. The system probably figured that by simply telling Yu Chong the selection, it could achieve the original novel's goal: control Runjia Entertainment's funds.
This plan was a good one, but it had a fatal flaw: Han Jinhong couldn't be allowed to speak.
As soon as Han Jinhong opens his mouth about his profession, everyone will know that he is nothing but a fool.
Therefore, it is actually very simple to prevent Han Jinhong from taking the position of financial director. Just like what we are doing now, we just need to organize a campaign speech.
After speaking for more than ten minutes, Han Jinhong proudly bowed again and said, "My speech is over. Thank you."
When he sat down, he looked at Xu Yufei proudly, and then looked at Yu Chong expectantly.
Yu Chong's mouth was almost twitching, but he was in a dilemma and could only grit his teeth and applaud, saying repeatedly: "Good, very good!"
At the same time, he kept praying in his heart, hoping that Xu Yufei would be even more rubbish and useless than Han Jinhong.
The senior officials from other departments could hardly bear to watch and urged: "Next!"
Xu Yufei took a deep breath, stood up, and first signaled to switch the screen projection source to her computer, then introduced herself: "Hello everyone, I'm Xu Yufei from the Finance Department..."
She didn't offer any clichés. Instead, she summarized Runjia Entertainment's financial work over the past few years, then outlined her strengths and projected future work. The presentation was brief and concise, lasting no more than five minutes.
"...My campaign speech ends here, thank you everyone." Xu Yufei bowed slightly, and before he sat down, applause broke out from the audience.
Xu Yufei waited for the projection signal to go away, feigning composure as she sat there, one hand tapping on her laptop's touchscreen, seemingly trying to shut something down. In reality, her heart was pounding with excitement, her blood pumping rapidly. If she hadn't been naturally expressionless, her face would have been flushed.
She had never spoken so much about her own thoughts before! She had never received so many admiring glances before!
All the applause is for her!
This feels so good!
She couldn't help but secretly glance at Du Wanwan who was sitting at the top, her heart full of gratitude. Unexpectedly, Du Wanwan also looked over and smiled at her approvingly.
Very good, very good. The applause from the audience and Yu Chong’s extremely ugly face told Du Wanwan that she won this round again.
Du Wanwan doesn't like to pursue desperate enemies, she likes to pursue victory:
"Has anyone else signed up for the election?" she asked deliberately. "If not, start voting."
In some cases, the voting process is synonymous with beating.
As soon as Du Wanwan spoke, voting began on the spot. Above the two names on the projection screen were constantly jumping numbers and a bar graph with the numbers constantly growing.
The number representing Han Jinhong remained stagnant, stuck in the single digits, while the number of people supporting Xu Yufei continued to grow, nearly ten times the number of votes Han Jinhong received.
Yu Chong looked at the voting results and his face turned pale.
This number of votes indicates that not only the middle-level management supports Xu Yufei, but even the senior management supports Du Wanwan.
Moreover, it was all the senior management, including those who he had specifically instructed and promised to support Han Jinhong.
In order to ensure that he had the final say in the voting for Runjia Entertainment, Yu Chong specifically stipulated that voting had coefficients. The higher the position, the higher the coefficient. One vote from senior management could be equivalent to ten votes from middle management.
In the end, Han Jinhong's vote count remained at 15.
This means that apart from Yu Chong himself, who had a very high vote for vice president, only five middle-level managers voted for Han Jinhong.
Yu Chong slowly looked at Du Wanwan, his heart numb and his hands and feet cold.
It turned out that it was not Han Jinhong who suffered a complete failure in this meeting. At most, Han Jinhong's hopes were dashed again and he was back to square one.
The one who really failed miserably was him.
There was no competition between Han Jinhong and Xu Yufei at all, but a one-sided crushing. Han Jinhong used his stupidity, wastefulness and self-satisfaction to perfectly set off Xu Yufei's talent, understanding of the company and humility, and perfectly told everyone what a qualified financial director is.
What about him?
What should he do?
He admitted in front of the entire Runjia Entertainment management team that he sided with Han Jinhong, thus making everyone in the company—and indeed the entire Runjia Investment Group—consider him a fool with flawed vision. First, he trusted Xi Yimiao, then encouraged employee absenteeism, leading to the dismissal of over a hundred people. Now, Han Jinhong has emerged. All of this is folly, and he deserves to be removed from his position as president by Du Wanwan.
Or... in order to keep his position as vice president, he admitted that he was just acting and that he was really Du Wanwan's man. All these stupid things were just him sincerely being a qualified clown beside Du Wanwan to highlight her wisdom and beauty?
No matter which one you choose, it’s just the difference between being extremely miserable and very miserable.
He... couldn't actually beat Du Wanwan, a woman who was just twenty years old.
"Okay, the statistics are out!"
At the meeting, people were still talking, discussing, and rejoicing, and no one felt sorry for him.
"Han Jinhong got 15 votes, Xu Yufei got 145 votes, congratulations to Xu Yufei!"
Du Wanwan also sat in the president's seat, clapping with a smile: "Congratulations to our new CFO!"
All these sounds brought Yu Chong back to his senses. He looked at the final voting results on the projection screen, looked at the huge disparity in numbers, and finally, his eyes fell on Han Jinhong.
Of course Han Jinhong was disappointed, but he had been disappointed so many times that he was used to it. After a moment of frustration, he began to fall into self-pity for "bad luck".
He was neither sad nor angry because Han Jinhong didn't believe he could promote him to the position of financial director.
Do you all have a consensus on his abilities?
Do you all think he is an untrustworthy piece of shit?
The whole audience was celebrating Xu Yufei. Perhaps, only Du Wanwan's eyes were still half on Yu Chong.
Because it's so wonderful.
The look in Yu Chong's eyes dimmed in an instant.
The campaign seemed to have drained all his fighting spirit. He had been a ball of fire, shouting and shouting passionately, but now, the fighting spirit was gone, like the firewood had been pulled out. In an instant, the light, the heat, the fighting spirit, the spirit... all disappeared from his eyes.
He sat there listlessly like a pile of ashes, a deflated ball, neither standing up nor clapping, just staring blankly at the conference table in front of him.
But there was nothing on the table.
How long had it been? A month? Two months? Du Wanwan herself couldn't quite remember the time, but she remembered that when they first met, Yu Chong was so arrogant, completely disregarding her, a frail woman.
Now what?
Du Wanwan believed that from this moment on, no one in Runjia Entertainment Group would dare to target her or make things difficult for her.
However, there is still some finishing work to be done, but she doesn't need to do it herself. Someone will take action first. She just needs to make another move at the right time.
"Alright." Du Wanwan clapped, her voice slightly raised. "It's Friday, let's not delay the class. Let's finish the meeting quickly and have a happy weekend!"
For workers, nothing is more appealing than a happy weekend. Everyone immediately lost their focus and switched back to work, reporting quickly and striving to leave work early.
Only Yu Chong had a dazed look in his eyes and looked out of sorts.
He had no idea how long the meeting lasted or what was said. When people around him applauded, he applauded too, and when people around him left, he stood up and left too.
When he walked out of the meeting room, he was stopped by Han Jinhong.
"Vice President Yu, um..." Han Jinhong rubbed his hands and said with an apologetic smile, "It's all my fault today. But even though it didn't work out, I still remember your kindness in helping me! Vice President Yu, how about we go for a drink after get off work? My friend just opened a bar with a great environment and a really good bartender."
"No need." Yu Chong shook his head. The smile on his face seemed to be pasted on with paper. It was so fake that it would be blown away by the wind in a little more time.
He left Han Jinhong and returned to the office without saying a word, locked the door, and then pressed a number with trembling fingers.
It still took a very long time for the other end to pick up the phone. After the call was connected, no one said anything. Only endless, cold majesty weighed on him through the phone.
But this time, Yu Chong was no longer afraid.
Because he has nothing left, he just wants to know an answer, not to ask for help.
It turns out that the saying "no desire means strength" is true.
"Sir." Yu Chong swallowed, trying to make his voice sound normal and less dry. "Why did you specifically ask me to recommend Han Jinhong as the financial director? Do you know what kind of person he is?"
His voice was unusual, and the other party obviously heard it. So, after a moment's silence, he finally spoke: "Yes, he's a loser, but he craves power. As long as you give him the position of CFO, he will be completely devoted to you and become your dog. What? You failed?"
"Hahaha..." Yu Chong laughed nervously, "Failure? Sir, you asked me to recommend a piece of useless shit. Don't you know the outcome already? In fact, after the last employee was fired, you were planning to give up on me as a chess piece, right? I begged you to help me, but what you were thinking in your heart was to use me one last time, right? If you can't use me to snatch power from Du Wanwan, then treat me as a gift, send me to Du Wanwan's knife, and use me as a tool to please Du Wanwan."
"Sir..." He gritted his teeth and grinned, "You're so kind, so kind! I, Yu, really admire you! Now, you've got what you wanted! Even if I go and tell Du Wanwan now that you've been targeting her all along, that you picked Xi Yimiao, that you've been the one behind all my plans, and that you've been constantly playing the good cop and the bad cop with me since that meeting at headquarters—it's too late, isn't it?"
"You can definitely say you did it on purpose to help her secure her position as chairman. You're not helping us, you're just using us to get us into trouble and become a stumbling block on Du Wanwan's road to success."
“…” The person on the other end let out a deep breath, and without saying another word, hung up the phone instantly.
Yu Chong, still holding up his phone, continued to mutter, "Who told you to... create such a good image? You are her mother's childhood sweetheart, and her mother is your first love, the woman you've loved for thirty years. Of course, you'd be willing to risk everything for her daughter. What's the point of sacrificing some face and reputation?"
But what about him...what about him!
"Ah——!!!" Yu Chong suddenly let out a loud shout and slammed his cell phone against the office door, smashing it into pieces in an instant, with the screen splashing everywhere.
Maybe fate felt it wasn't enough, or maybe God was continuing to play a joke on him.
The phone's screen was cracked, but it still functioned.
There was a ding sound and a message popped up.
[Boss Yu, this is bad! Wu Yong just rushed into the company and submitted a real-name report to Boss Du! It seems... it's full of indictment material about you! I don't know what the charges are, but you need to be prepared!]
Prepare in advance?
"Hehehe..." Yu Chong couldn't help but laugh nervously again.
He had long suspected that Wu Yong would not give up and that he would definitely report him, so he had asked the teacher for help long ago, right? But what did his early preparations bring him?
In exchange for the gift from the gentleman, he stepped on his body and gave Du Wanwan a big gift.
What was the name of that woman in the meeting just now? Oh, Xu Yufei.
Xu Yufei, a woman whose name was barely known at Runjia Entertainment, was suddenly promoted to the position of Financial Director by Du Wanwan. She must be overjoyed, right? She must be incredibly grateful to Du Wanwan now, ready to risk her life for her, right?
"Thank you so much..." Yu Chong murmured, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.
He jumped up instantly, ignoring the debris on the ground, and started checking the news with trembling hands.
"Birthday...winter..."
Found it!
Yu Chong stared at the news on the screen, his eyes shining with a strange light.
Twenty years ago on December 27, just a few days after Christmas, a piece of news became a hot topic with the title #The richest man’s daughter dies tragically#.
December 27th is Du Wanwan's birthday and also the anniversary of Du Qingjia's death. She will definitely go to the cemetery that day, and he will definitely be there too.
Next Wednesday is his last chance!
As Yu Chong thought about it, the overwhelming hatred in his heart finally subsided a little.
He calmed down and began to think about his escape route.
Wu Yong lay dormant for so many days before reporting, indicating he'd been gathering information and likely had sufficient evidence. Du Wanwan didn't immediately confront him after receiving the information, nor did she take him away, demonstrating that she was still a woman. Perhaps because she'd just won a round, or perhaps for some other reason, she softened her stance and gave him a way out.
She was waiting for him to resign voluntarily.
There are still 15 minutes left before the end of get off work on Friday. If he does not leave tactfully within these 15 minutes, then when he goes to work next Monday, he may be investigated by the Economic Investigation Department of the police station.
"......!" Yu Chong took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down again, quickly downloaded a resignation letter template from the Internet, quickly modified it, printed it, signed it, and then, with only 3 minutes left before the end of the get off work day, he arrived at the president's office.
In the president's office, the employees seconded from the administrative department were all ready to leave work. The door of the president's office was open. Three female employees, holding mugs, surrounded Du Wanwan and chattered, as if praising her excellent performance in the meeting, like a queen.
One of the female employees accidentally saw him, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly reported, quickly stood up, and greeted loudly: "Hello, Vice President Yu!"
Du Wanwan still had a smile on her face, the warmth in it unchanged. This was the first time she had smiled so gently at him. Perhaps she knew what he was up to, appreciated his ability to find a way out, and decided to give him some face.
"Boss Du, I lose." Yu Chong conceded the defeat and placed his resignation letter on the table. "Here's my resignation letter. I hope Boss Du will approve it. I'll come to complete the resignation procedures next Monday. Boss Du, I, Yu Chong, have never been defeated by anyone in my life. You're the first one."
Du Wanwan didn't even frown, nor did she open the resignation letter. She just smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, I hope we can all have a long and happy farewell. You will have a bright future ahead of you."
Yu Chong didn't expect to receive a blessing from her. He couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your good wishes."
Then he left, leaving the assistants in the room with their mouths wide open in surprise.
"Du..."
"What are you still standing there for?" Du Wanwan interrupted her with a smile, "It's time to clock out. To be honest, I hate working overtime for free, and I don't want you to work overtime for free either. I also want my reputation."
Xiao Qi shut up instantly. The three of them exchanged glances tacitly, stood up, said goodbye to Du Wanwan, and punched out.
As soon as he walked into the employee elevator, he quickly spread the news in the company's small group.
[Holy crap! Eating melons up close! At the last second after work, I witnessed Yu Chong approaching Miss with his resignation letter! Resigning from Miss!]
[What the hell?! ! ! !]
[Fuck! No way!]
[It wasn't just me! The three of us witnessed it firsthand, and the eldest lady even accepted the resignation letter! How could this be fake? Yu Chong said he'll come next Monday to complete the resignation paperwork.]
[Good girl, all I can say is good girl, worthy of being a young lady!]
How long has it been since Yu Chong and the young lady first came face to face? Three months? And the young lady has only been at the subsidiary company for less than a month, right? So that's what drove that lecherous old man, Yu Chong, away?
[The eldest lady is so awesome!]
[The eldest lady is awesome!]
[The eldest lady is truly a queen!]
In less than half an hour, the entire subsidiary group knew about Yu Chong's resignation. Even Wei Nanrong, who was in charge of the group headquarters, called Du Wanwan.
"Yu Chong resigned?"
"Yeah, I approve."
"..." Wei Nanrong suddenly didn't know what to say. At this moment, he admired her from the bottom of his heart, but he was also worried about her from the bottom of his heart. "Chairman, you are so decisive and resolute. I'm afraid some people will be afraid of you."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
The other party was afraid and strengthened their defenses, but what if they wanted to take the initiative to eliminate them? Their power was far from enough.
"Uncle Wei, don't worry." It was already time to get off work, so Du Wanwan switched to a more personal address. "In the short term—at least for a year—I won't be returning to headquarters. I'll just stay at Runjia Entertainment. You, too, should take it easy. Don't worry. Wait for my instructions."
Hearing that she wasn't carried away by victory, Wei Nanrong felt relieved: "Okay, I know what I'm doing, don't worry. Wanwan, take care of yourself..."
He was happy to see her fight for a while, then rest for a while, a balance between tension and relaxation, only then could the conversation last. Therefore, he quickly changed the subject, chatted for a few words, and then hung up.
Wei Nanrong is a traditional male chauvinist and cares about her, but Du Wanwan doesn't plan to let him know what she is investigating for the time being.
Anyway, it's safe now for the time being.
After Yu Chong resigned, nearly all of the middle and senior management succumbed to the lure of money and agreed to join her in reversing the losses in the entertainment sector. This meant that, after a series of lengthy battles, she had secured a secure base and a massive money-making machine.
For a period of time afterwards, she was able to focus more on dealing with the forbidden spells and investigating her mother's past.
Huh… Du Wanwan exhaled silently, looked up and asked, "My mother's death anniversary is coming soon, right?"
Pei Xingyao nodded silently, but his heart tightened at the same time.
For her, December 27th is not her birthday, but her mother's death anniversary.
She is still used to putting herself behind her deceased relatives.
Pei Xingyao knew that this was understandable.
But he still hoped that she could pay more attention to herself, care more about herself, and one day celebrate her own birthday.
This weekend was unusually cold. In Jiangcheng, nestled between the subtropical and temperate zones, snow was repeatedly forecast. The howling wind seemed to carry news: the entire group knew Yu Chong was resigning.
Some people feel sorry, some people applaud, but it doesn’t matter anymore.
Because everything has become a foregone conclusion.
The weekend passed quickly, and just as we got to work on Monday morning, the Human Resources Department received a document from the President's Office stating that Vice President Yu Chong had resigned and that the President had approved his resignation. Immediately afterwards, Yu Chong arrived to complete the resignation procedures and prepare for the handover.
Less than a month had passed since he'd been demoted from president to vice president, and he'd done virtually no real work. Vice president was a position with more symbolic significance than real power, so there was almost nothing to hand over. That afternoon, Yu Chong cleaned up his workstation and left.
It also happened to be Christmas day.
December 25. Yu Chong took a dozen beers and sat on the street, looking at the overcast sky that was about to snow, drinking can after can.
Get drunk tonight and make some preparations tomorrow, December 26th.
On December 27, he will be able to give his husband a big gift.
