Chapter 209: Look at that guy surnamed Kuang
After the meeting, everyone was discussing Qi Xu. Who on earth was he? How could he have been parachuted into the project department without any personnel review or probationary period, and was directly appointed manager?
Rather than believing that she is Ms. Wen’s daughter, it is better to believe that she is the daughter of some other capital tycoon who has a close relationship with the Lin family and was sent here to gild their reputation.
This was Qi Xu's first time in Kyoto, so Ms. Wen put down all her work and took her out for a few days to experience Kyoto's customs and culture, try some local delicacies, and explain Kyoto's economic development trends to her.
Kyoto's prosperity is more than ten times more developed than Lake City. The integration of economy and technology has particularly boosted its development, putting the city at the forefront of the world and making it the nation's leading center.
Qi Xu felt particularly distressed when she saw that Ms. Wen had to work overtime at night after accompanying her outing during the day.
"Mom, I came here to help you, but I ended up not being able to help at all and causing you trouble."
Ms. Wen looked at her sensible daughter-in-law and felt deeply moved.
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? Mom is busy all year round and it's rare for her to have a few days off. These days are the happiest days Mom has had in all these years."
"Work is endless. Money can never be earned enough. Only happiness is in the present moment."
"I've worked so hard for so many years, and I'm tired. But Youqian isn't interested in this. He refuses to take over the Shanglin Group, so I have no choice but to take it on his behalf. I can't let the Lin family's legacy fall into the hands of his generation."
"Qiqi, the wealth that Mom has accumulated over the years is enough for you to squander for several lifetimes. I just don't want you and Youqian to be as tired as I am in the future."
"If you don't want to pursue a career in business anymore, wait a few years and Mom can no longer do it, and we'll slowly withdraw from the business world. As the saying goes, contentment brings long-lasting happiness. In this unpredictable business world, whoever wants to stir up trouble can do so. We can just live a peaceful and stable life, which is fine too."
Qi Xu knew that Ms. Wen said this to comfort her and tell her not to feel stressed.
She was a strong woman throughout her life. She worked hard to make Shanglin Group the leading enterprise in Kyoto. How could she be willing to watch the business she had painstakingly built for half her life decline in the hands of her son?
But Lin Youqian had no interest in business at all, and she couldn't bear to put such a heavy burden on her daughter-in-law's shoulders.
I only regret that I worked too hard on my career and didn't have more sons when I was young. Like the Lu family, with three young masters who can stand on their own, how glorious it would be.
"Mom, don't worry. Yuqian likes to research arms, so let him do that. I'm willing to help you protect the Shanglin Group. Don't underestimate me, I'm actually very capable."
Ms. Wen's eyes were moist as she stared at Qi Xu. The more she looked, the more she liked him.
The most worrying thing in her life was giving birth to an ignorant son who never listened to her since he was a child.
Fortunately, God was kind enough to let her find a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law.
"Mom knows, Qiqi is the best. From now on, I'll rely on you for my retirement for the rest of my life."
Qi Xu agreed repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes, you can just wait and enjoy a peaceful life from now on. I'll give birth to some beautiful grandchildren for you to take care of. You'll get calluses from hearing "Grandma, Grandma" all the time."
"You little naughty monkey, you only know how to make me happy. Why do I need several? Just one of you comes out for me to hold, and I'll be overjoyed."
Qi Xu's heartwarming playful words diluted Ms. Wen's melancholy, and her mood suddenly became brighter.
"By the way, Qiqi, tell Mom why you want to go to the project department? I was originally planning to let you go to the marketing department first to hone your skills."
Qi Xu had originally planned to join the marketing department. Uncle Song said that the marketing department was a key department for China Unicom's internal and external economic environment, and that it was the best place to train people when they first joined the company.
But last time in the conference room, after Qi Xu heard Kuang Xun's arrogant speech, she immediately changed her mind and decided to replace him.
"Because that guy surnamed Kuang is too arrogant. This is our Lin family's company, and from the way he speaks, it seems like he built this empire. I can't stand such a conceited person. I want to replace him."
"Mom, you've been mad at him a lot. From now on, I'll take care of him."
Kuang Xun is a student who returned from overseas. Relying on his high education, good starting point, and some connections in the international financial market, he has indeed worked on several large real estate projects and made a lot of money for the company. He becomes arrogant and regards himself as a great contributor to Shanglin Group, and is very proud of it.
Sometimes, he would even interrupt Ms. Wen when she was speaking.
Ms. Wen was annoyed by him, but had to rely on him and could only endure his arrogance and unreasonableness.
Unexpectedly, the little guy saw at a glance that the guy was a troublemaker and threatened to get rid of him and replace him.
He is truly a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. His courage is commendable.
"Qiqi, although Kuang Xun is a bit of a troublemaker, he's quite capable. He also has quite a few connections in the international financial circle. You can compete with him and put some pressure on him, but don't overdo it."
Qi Xu knew what Ms. Wen was worried about and agreed to her request.
"Mom, don't worry, I know my limits and won't do anything reckless."
Qi Xu thought that if this person had good character but was just arrogant, he could continue to use him by suppressing him.
If someone has a bad character or bad temper, then he must be replaced. No matter how capable he is or how good his resources are, it won't work.
Since she had her own ideas, Ms. Wen didn't say anything more. "Young people, it's good to be bold. At worst, if something goes wrong, she'll cover it."
"Come on, baby! Mommy believes in you!"
The next day, Qi Xu, accompanied by two bodyguards, swaggered to the project department.
At that time, Kuang Xun was preparing to organize a meeting for the middle-level staff of his department. When he saw her coming, he just casually pointed to an assistant to take her to the office, and had no intention of asking her to join the meeting.
Qi Xu did not take the initiative to move forward, and asked the assistant to pass on the message.
"Please tell Director Kuang to ask him if all the information I need has been sorted out. Please send it to me."
The assistant turned pale with fear. "I'm sorry, Manager Qi, I don't dare to ask."
Qi Xu told her. "Since you dare to come and lead the way for me, why don't you dare to help me pass on the message?"
"If you really don't dare, I'll ask someone else. You don't have to come to work tomorrow."
It's really a fight between gods, and the little devils suffer.
The poor little assistant ran over with gritted teeth and reported to Kuang Xun with a sad face.
"Director Kuang, that new Manager Qi is too arrogant. She asked me to ask you if you have sorted out the information she needs? She wants you to deliver it to her."
After hearing this, Kuang Xun's face turned green with anger. He then took out his anger on the assistant.
"She's so arrogant! She asked me to sort out the materials for her and even delivered them personally? Who gave her the face?"
"Go, tell her to come see me!"
