"No need," Su Tianhao smiled. "I don't care about that."
……………………
Su Ziqing was led on a tour of the company by Su Tianhao's secretary. Actually, she had visited the company when she was a child, but the Su Group back then was not nearly as large as it is now.
Back then, her grandfather doted on her, and she would come to the company to do her homework as soon as she finished class.
After she entered junior high school, she rarely came anymore.
The company address remained the same, but the Su Group occupied several more floors in this financial building.
Not to mention the factory workers under the Su family, the head office alone has nearly a thousand employees.
"Miss." Suddenly, an employee in one of the cubicles stood up and called out to Su Ziqing.
Thinking about how she had just been stopped in the building, and now someone was calling her "Miss," Su Ziqing immediately stopped in her tracks.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old man from the old man's former office.
Secretary Tian wore glasses and had been the old man's secretary for many years. He was now in his early forties.
"Secretary Tian..." Su Ziqing originally wanted to call her sister, but changed her address at the last minute.
Secretary Tian stood there, looking at Su Ziqing who had grown so much, and was filled with emotion.
Su Ziqing immediately dismissed Su Tianhao's secretary and asked Secretary Tian to accompany her.
In terms of familiarity with the company, Secretary Tian knows it better than anyone else.
"Sister Tian, how come you... work here?" This is the most basic department, Su Ziqing asked in a low voice as she continued to tour the company.
Secretary Tian forced a bitter smile, "Personnel changes within the company."
Su Ziqing looked at her, "Is something bothering you?"
Secretary Tian shook her head. "No, Miss. I'm a company employee, and personnel transfers must be followed. Miss, it's been a long time since I've seen you."
"But you were Grandpa's secretary before." As the former chairman's secretary, his abilities are beyond question. It's easy to guess why such a talent was transferred to a basic department.
Secretary Tian smiled and said, "It's all work anyway..."
"Was it my uncle who issued the transfer order?"
“Miss…” Secretary Tian hesitated before speaking.
Where are the other people in Grandpa's office?
“Some were transferred to factories, and some, like me, were transferred to basic departments.” What Secretary Tian didn’t say was that even in the basic departments, she had nothing to do every day.
The old man had only been gone for a few days, and all the people in the former chairman's office had already been reassigned.
The company didn't fire her immediately because she was a long-term employee, but they're doing this to see how long she can hold out and wait for her to resign voluntarily.
Secretary Tian explained the department layout to Su Ziqing, then couldn't help but ask her with concern, "Miss, you need to be careful."
Su Ziqing was the old man's favorite person, but he also occasionally revealed that Su Ziqing was not very popular in the Su family.
Su Ziqing nodded. "I know."
Thinking of something, Su Ziqing pulled Secretary Tian aside and said, "Secretary Tian, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Secretary Tian looked at her and said, "Miss, please speak."
"Do you know about my grandfather's illness?" As the old man's secretary, Su Ziqing guessed that she probably did know.
Secretary Tian nodded, "Miss, I know about this. I'm the one who reminds the old man to take the medicine the chairman usually takes at the company and prepares hot water for him."
Hearing this, Su Ziqing's heart clenched, and her hand unconsciously gripped Secretary Tian's wrist. "Grandpa's medicine... passed through your hands?"
Secretary Tian felt a sharp pain in her wrist, but she didn't cry out. "Yes, no, the chairman brought his own medicine. I was just reminding him and then pouring him some hot water. Miss, what's wrong?"
"Oh, if he goes out, I'll carry it for the chairman." Secretary Tian looked at Su Ziqing, "Miss..."
Su Ziqing felt her tongue stiffen as she heard herself say, "Then... do you still have Grandpa's medicine?"
Secretary Tian looked at her and nodded.
Old Master Su's passing was too sudden, and even the funeral was so rushed. As his secretary, she knew this was abnormal, but the upheaval in the wealthy family was something that a mere secretary like her couldn't change.
If it weren't for the mortgage payments, and the fact that she would have difficulty finding a better job at her age, the de facto transfer would have made her want to resign long ago.
Just as Su Ziqing was about to say something, her phone rang; the shareholders' meeting was about to begin.
Su Ziqing straightened her expression and said, "Secretary Tian, let's arrange another time to meet after get off work tonight."
Secretary Tian nodded.

Meeting room
All the shareholders had arrived, but Su Ziqing was the last to arrive.
She was in Switzerland when the previous board meeting was held; this is a shareholders' meeting, and the two are different. Directors are those who manage the company, while shareholders are those who hold shares.
The board meeting convened, and the Su Group underwent a series of personnel changes. Then came the shareholders' meeting…
"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the meeting." Su Tianming, who is nominally the acting chairman, sat in the center.
Su Tianhao and Su Ziqing were in the first positions, one on the left and one on the right.
Su Tianming seemed to be taking advantage of Su Ziqing's inability to understand technical terms, deliberately using those terms.
Su Ziqing sat there expressionless, without saying a word.
"Does anyone have any opinions?" Su Tianming looked at everyone, completely ignoring Su Ziqing's presence, since she wouldn't understand anyway.
However……
"I'd like to ask, has the chairman been chosen yet?" Su Ziqing didn't follow Su Tianming's lead. She glanced at everyone and then smiled faintly.
Su Tianming said coldly, "You... Ziqing, this is not something you can interfere with." He swallowed back the words "jinx" that were about to come out.
Su Ziqing chuckled coldly, "Although I'm not currently a director of the company, once I inherit the estate, given my shareholding, I'll definitely be on the board, right? And as a director, I'll have voting rights, won't I?"
"Uncle, I just wanted to remind you that you are currently the acting chairman, not the chairman," Su Ziqing said calmly.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're family, you wouldn't even have the right to attend the shareholders' meeting," Su Tianming coldly rebuked her, seemingly blaming her for her ignorance and arrogance.
"I'm really touched by your kindness, but... are you sure you can stop me from attending the shareholders' meeting?"
Not letting her participate? Ha.
"Ahem, Ziqing, we're in a meeting. Let's talk about some things after the meeting," Su Tianhao said, trying to mediate.
Su Ziqing looked at Su Tianhao and said, "Second Uncle, you are also qualified to be the chairman."
Su Tianhao was slightly taken aback.
He really hadn't had time to think about that yet.
The other shareholders, some of whom were directors, some of whom were Su Tianming's men, some of whom were neutral, and some of whom were aligned with Su Tianhao, were also taken aback when they heard Su Ziqing's words.
