Chapter 635: Confusion (42)
Being ganged up on by a difficult enemy is not an easy task to resolve.
Yan Liang during this period of time.
He was busy dealing with those who were eyeing the Yan Group, and the rest of his time was spent in the company. He basically had no spare time and energy. The troublesome people came to the stage and even joined forces with those who disliked him.
Want to get him out of office.
The eldest son of the Yan family, who had been ruined by him, hid the truth with the help of his father and stepmother and became the general manager of the company that was at odds with him.
It's really troublesome.
When Yan Liang took over, it could be said that he stepped on them to get to the top, which was neither right nor justifiable.
after all.
The successor their family wanted was not him.
His nominal father only supported him out of a little guilt towards his biological mother, and it was just his remaining human conscience that was at work.
but……
His nominal father probably also discovered this, and after he took over, he eliminated everything that was not beneficial to him.
That's right.
Yan Liang would not allow anything that posed a threat to him to exist under his nose, so in the Yan Group, anyone who had a blood relationship with the Yan family.
No matter if it's a distant relative or something.
No matter how excellent one is, he is not allowed to exist.
After he took office and gained power, and when his position was completely consolidated, Yan Liang began to lay off a large number of employees, firing everyone who had any connection with the Yan family.
Then, re-interview.
He chose those who had little relationship with the Yan family but were equally capable.
The huge Yan Group.
It became a group controlled by Yan Liang alone. Apart from the shares, some of the money was in the hands of those old guys, and he had basically emptied the place.
His nominal father.
It's natural to be unable to sit still.
After all, Yan Liang had expelled all the family members, so these people must have hated him to the core. Knowing that he came from an illegitimate background and his position was not legitimate, they would naturally try every possible means to get him out of office at any cost.
To say there is no pressure would be a lie.
Being dealt with by so many people together.
This shows how much they think highly of him.
Can he make the arrogant Gu family lower their status and join forces with others to deal with him? Haha, it's really a big deal, but it is precisely these stubborn old guys who are difficult to deal with.
Yan Liang sat in his chair.
It was almost late at night, and he stared at the characters jumping on the computer screen, lost in thought.
There are also new situation reports.
Money is flowing to him continuously.
The offensive and defensive tug-of-war with those old guys dragged on a little longer than he expected, even longer than he imagined.
It would be bad for him if he continued like this.
All the business partners who had previously cooperated with the Yan Group temporarily stayed away from the limelight after the old man from the family spoke out.
The responses to him here all said that the cooperation would be suspended.
Internal strife within the Yan family.
They naturally didn't want to offend anyone, even though Yan Liang was the one who controlled the most. But everyone knew that he was still young and his power was not yet consolidated.
Even if you kick all the family members out.
But the shares held by those old guys are not a small number, and they have the ability to decide the future of Yan Group.
The key is to see.
Can they get this position back?
Staring at the changing data, Yan Liang also cast his eyes on the phone beside him. After pondering for a moment, he picked it up.
Open the address book.
I found the number I hadn't dialed for a long time and pressed the button.
“Beep, beep, beep—”
The regular ringing sound rang out, close to two o'clock in the morning. Yan Liang was not worried about disturbing the other party when he called at this time.
Even if he disturbs someone and makes them angry, he can still comfort them.
Just when he thought so.
The call was connected.
Qiao Xi had probably just been woken up, and her tone was unprecedentedly low and gloomy. Even through the phone, one could feel the extremely low pressure around her.
"...I'll give you ten seconds to explain why you called me so late at night."
The girl's voice seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and seemed eerie in the dead of night.
Yan Liang didn't care.
The man chuckled, his tone still gentle: "I came to talk to you about cooperation."
Probably also felt surprised.
Qiao Xi didn't expect him to say that, so her voice sounded a little surprised.
"What kind of cooperation? Using your identity, Yan Liang, or something else?"
"As the person in charge of the Yan Group, let's talk to your eldest daughter of the Xi family."
Yan Liang leaned lazily on his swivel chair, casually crossing his legs. He looked comfortable and relaxed, without any tension, as if he was talking about something ordinary.
A win-win situation.
He believed that Qiao Xi would not refuse.
"Pfft, are you kidding? The Yan family and the Xi family have always been at odds."
The girl's sneering laughter soon came from the other side. The ancient families behind them had been feuding with each other for a long time. If they were to settle the accounts, it would take seven days and seven nights to count them.
Without damaging the interests of both parties.
Of course there is no problem in cooperating with each other.
However, the Yan Group had just cheated the Xi family recently. It would be too insincere to say this now. How can they do this without cutting their own flesh and giving some benefits?
Qiao Xi has not yet accepted the Xi family's property.
However, she is also learning management from Xi's father. If she wants to start working and try to complete some work on her own, Xi's father will definitely agree.
After all, we are just waiting for her to speak.
However, Qiao Xi was too playful and had no intention of taking over. She was too busy playing to speak, and Xi's father had no choice but to hint at her.
It’s a pity that Qiao Xi pretended not to hear.
She always tried to muddle through things, and because of this, her attitude became one of the triggers.
The Xi family thought that she had to change her mind.
So, they chose the right time to contact each other, let Qiao Xi choose a fiancé, and get engaged early.
The Xi family is waiting for her to take over.
Yan Liang also knew that if Qiao Xi agreed to help and cooperate with him, the pressure he would face would be much less.
When the time comes.
In order to deal with the behemoth Xi family, those who joined forces against him had to pay attention to the greater threat in front of them.
"That's why I need you as a middleman. The chips won't let you down."
Yan Liang said this.
He started talking to Qiao Xi, but after more than half an hour, the girl still showed no interest.
"I'm not interested in taking over these. I'll talk to my dad and see what happens to him."
Qiao Xi's attitude remained firm, and Yan Liang stopped trying to persuade her.
really.
Rather than letting Qiao Xi take over hastily now, it would be more convenient to talk directly to Qiao Xi's father than to wait until Qiao Xi takes over and consolidates his position.
but.
This was exactly what he wanted, and his purpose of looking for Qiao Xi was achieved.
What Yan Liang wanted was her identity. That's right, the identity that could connect him to the Xi family.
As for Qiao Xi here.
Not only is she not interested in these things, but she also wants to add insult to injury.
I know that Yan Liang’s current situation is not very good.
She really wanted to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. With Yan Liang's stubborn personality, something bad would happen even if she left it alone.
The Yan family that was suppressed by him is an ancient family.
Of course, they are not vegetarians. No matter how big the halo of the male protagonist in the small world is, there will always be villains who almost kill the protagonist, right?
Now Qiao Xi plans to lend a helping hand to the "villain".
I didn't listen to Yan Liang's nonsense anymore.
Qiao Xi decisively hung up and began to think about contacting her father the next day. If she could help the Yan family bring down Yan Liang, she would naturally get a piece of the pie.
and.
Since the Xi family and the Yan family are not getting along well, if the Yan family wants the Xi family to take action, they must be prepared to suffer heavy losses.
If not.
The conditions offered by Yan Liang are attractive enough, and it is possible that the Xi family will help Yan Liang.
But compared with the Gu family's foundation.
If the Yan family is really willing to shed some blood, then Yan Liang's meager foundation will definitely not be enough. So, it depends on whether the Yan family has the courage to do so.
Qiao Xi told Xi's father about this the next day.
After listening to her, her father also praised her.
Maybe he didn't expect that she would get in touch with Yan Liang.
Therefore, on the phone, Qiao Xi's father, who had basically no private conversations with her except for work, suddenly asked after a brief silence.
"Are you really good friends with that kid from the Yan family?"
If that was the case, he would have to teach Qiao Xi a lesson. He hoped Qiao Xi would understand what kind of people he could get along with and what kind of people he couldn't get along with.
Qiao Xi likes to play with this character.
Xi's father also knew this. After all, who hasn't been young? Who among those whose families have a little money doesn't love to play when they are young? There are many who play a lot and spend a lot.
He didn't mind Qiao Xi maintaining some interpersonal relationships.
As long as those relationships don't affect the Xi family, it's fine.
The rest...
Even if Qiao Xi caused a huge mess, the Xi family had the ability to make it right for her.
"It's just for fun, it's nothing."
His daughter's nonchalant voice made Xi's father even more unhappy.
Qiao Xi is playing with Yan Liang?
Such a thoughtless thing made Xi's father frown even more, and he wanted to scold his daughter even more. If this daughter didn't have some ability, he would even want to adopt one from his cousin to train.
Before finding Qiao Xi.
They selected several children and trained them as potential heirs to the Xi family.
Once Qiao Xi is unable to complete the training.
They could only make decisions based on the actual situation and reluctantly consider giving up their daughter. How could she be so insignificant despite having Xi family blood?
Among those candidates for succession.
There are also those who have returned from training and are now being trained as candidate successors. This is just in case, but on the surface, these people will assist Qiao Xi.
As long as Qiao Xi can still work hard.
Then, the candidates for succession prepared by Xi's father are her best assistants and confidants.
If you don't live up to expectations.
There is only one other choice.
Qiao Xi is still young now, and she must be thinking about having fun after just graduating. Xi's father is willing to give her a year or two to have fun, but the big issue of marriage must be arranged in advance.
"Find a time and go hold the engagement party with that kid from the Nan family."
"It's just been decided, so soon?"
The girl's surprised voice just came.
Her father could no longer control his temper and started scolding her loudly.
"Nonsense! Look at what you've become now. You just want to play all day! The company doesn't care. How many times have you been there? Don't let Xinghe clean up your mess all the time."
Qiao Xi has been to the company several times.
He saw it all. Xinghe and Qiao Xi had a good relationship privately, and she would always report to him that Qiao Xi was there on time. But in fact, how many times she went there, Xi's father knew it clearly.
He even treats his entertainment company as a hands-off manager.
She didn't ask much about the cosmetics company under her name, except for reviewing the situation report every quarter and deciding on some new products to be launched.
She basically didn't care about anything.
How lax have you become towards your opponent's subordinates if they are like this?
He also knew that Qiao Xi was not a bad kid by nature, and that he just loved to play since he was young, so he had to be disciplined. Otherwise, when he was completely addicted, even ten oxen wouldn't be able to pull him back.
"knew……"
Qiao Xi's voice was weak as she listened to Xi's father's lecture on the other end of the phone. She held the phone a little further away, finally sparing her ears the pain.
But the scolding continued.
She didn't hang up the phone. After Xi's father finished speaking, she nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice and agreed, promising to work hard.
After that, Xi's father reluctantly hung up the phone.
Life is not easy, Qiao Xi sighed.
When she answered the phone, she would either be scolded or criticized, or she would be asked about her recent achievements, what she had done and what results she had achieved, or she would be given surprise checks like random tests.
Although Qiao Xi can handle it.
But Xi's father coming here from time to time really made her feel powerless to complain.
I didn't expect to tell her dad the good news.
In the end, they still get scolded. The mentality of parents is really confusing.
Qiao Xi was too tired to complain.
I also started preparing for my next trip.
Wei Xinghe had mentioned a banquet she needed to attend on behalf of the company, and the man she had chosen to bring was Bai Jiangran. Some places where work could be discussed privately might not be convenient for Bai Jiangran to attend given his status.
But show up over there.
Then you can have some drinks and snacks, which is fine.
The program crew followed to film.
The main purpose is to film this kind of party and see Bai Jiangran and her reactions. The fact that Qiao Xi chose Bai Jiangran as her male companion is a highlight.
No matter what the content is.
First of all, the title is attractive enough to attract a lot of traffic and clicks, so the program team is naturally very happy.
Bai Jiangran has reserved his afternoon time.
In order to prepare for Qiao Xi's trip, he also needed to change his clothes and do his hairstyle, so the photographer from the program crew followed him all the time.
The host was getting his hair done.
Don't forget to do a small interview with him.
"Excuse me, what is Jiang Ran's mood now?"
Bai Jiangran, who was on his phone reading the comments on his homepage, smiled a little sheepishly when he heard this: "I'm actually quite nervous. This is my first time attending an event like that. Normally, it wouldn't even be my turn to go."
Even if the bosses want to bring people with them.
That means you are bringing your own signboard. Which boss doesn’t have famous people around him?
When Bai Jiangran knew that Qiao Xi chose to take him with her.
He almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Bai Jiangran had mixed feelings after being chosen by a boss he had only met a few times. He would occasionally appear on camera with the boss for a program, but he was always busy, so he would just say hello and chat for a few minutes before leaving.
He also couldn't figure out what his boss's attitude was.
I don't know what the boss thinks of him.
Therefore, Bai Jiangran did not think that he was that special with his boss, and he certainly would not be favored by his boss and would not be able to get opportunities that others could not get.
That's what he thought.
I didn't expect the opportunity to fall on my head.
Bai Jiangran felt that it was a little unreal, but his agent was ecstatic after receiving the exact notification.
No one dares to slack off.
The dress Bai Jiangran wore to attend the event was also custom-made by Qiao Xi to match the one she was wearing.
When Bai Jiangran came out after finishing dressing.
The camera of the program crew filmed him mercilessly, and the host praised him repeatedly and sent him to the luxury car that Qiao Xi was waiting for outside.
"Hello, boss..."
Bai Jiangran sat in the back seat of the car and saw the beautiful woman leaning against the window with her eyes closed for a nap. He also greeted her cautiously.
Hear his voice.
The woman who was resting with her eyes closed finally opened them. Her delicate and beautiful face looked like a doll. When her beautiful eyes swept over him, Bai Jiangran couldn't help but tense up and became nervous.
The program crew took another car.
Now, there are only him and Qiao Xi in the car. If he says he is not nervous, he would be lying.
"Didn't I tell you not to be so reserved?"
The woman gave him a faint smile, her rose-like lips painted with bold and passionate red lipstick, which clearly showed her strong personality.
Elegant and dignified, charming and lazy.
The black lace gloves she wore set off her jade-like hands, and the neckline of her dress was decorated with patterns and lace.
The hollow back design shows off the woman's soft and elegant figure. Under her tied-up hair, you can see her white neck. Following the delicate and smooth lines, her back is slender and beautiful, like a work of art.
Look at it from such a close distance.
Bai Jiangran just felt a little dazzled.
A somewhat absurd idea emerged in his mind. He felt that it was like a black mandala, mysterious and elegant, with an attractive and unique charm, but also very dangerous.
Even though Qiao Xi told him not to be nervous.
But when being alone like this, Bai Jiangran couldn't help but care about the people around him, and was always worried that he would not perform well.
Especially when thinking about the important occasion that will come next.
in this case.
It becomes more tense.
He lowered his head and said nothing. Somehow, he started to worry about his work, afraid that he would not be able to do it.
Qiao Xi saw his reaction clearly.
She also sighed softly in her heart. She probably understood Bai Jiangran's mood. Feeling nervous or uneasy about something that has never been experienced before is an emotion that all humans have when they first come into contact with something.
Not surprising.
This kind of psychological pressure mainly needs to be overcome by yourself.
However, encouragement from others is also important.
Qiao Xi tried to figure out Bai Jiangran's psychological changes, put herself in his shoes, and then slowly spoke.
"Do you think this is a rare opportunity?"
A woman's calm voice came, soft and gentle, like cotton wool caressing the soul.
It sounds mild.
But Bai Jiangran felt that Qiao Xi's voice was frighteningly calm, as if it had no emotions at all.
But.
Whether it was her attitude or tone, Qiao Xi gave him a gentle feeling.
Then why do you feel that the boss has no feelings?
Bai Jiangran could only suppress the slight strangeness in his heart.
Then he nodded and answered frankly: "Yes, it is a very valuable opportunity for me."
"Jiang Ran, this is just the beginning for you. In your future life, you will have many gatherings and meet more people. You will become a senior and a leader. The hardships you endure now and the efforts you make now will be your best rewards in the future."
Qiao Xi said this.
She smiled faintly. "So, even though you're immature now, there's no need to force yourself to grow up so quickly. Think about things you don't understand, and ask questions you don't understand. You will always find the answers that suit you. There's only one thing I can tell you, and that is to focus on the task at hand and complete it diligently. Don't let yourself down. For the rest, I don't need you to do anything extra."
Saying this.
Qiao Xi looked at the boy in front of her who was a little surprised, and reached out to touch the place where his dimple appeared when he smiled.
"After all, what I need most right now is your smile."
"Boss..."
Bai Jiangran's face turned red and he stumbled for a moment, not even knowing how to react.
Qiao Xi tapped his cheek and moved away.
But even that moment of closeness was enough to make Bai Jiangran's heart so nervous that it almost jumped out of his chest. He was conflicted, very conflicted.
Afraid of being a drag.
I am also afraid that I will not do something well and lose face for my boss.
But the boss said...
All he needs to do is smile.
How could this person say such gentle words so calmly? They didn't tell him to relax, didn't tell him to calm down. Instead, they told him to focus on the matter at hand and not leave any regrets.
really.
He had just been distracted, constantly brooding over those things. If he really continued in this state, he might look back later and regret having muddled through it all in such a state of anxiety and confusion.
That's right.
This is a precious opportunity for him, so he... must muster the corresponding courage to seize this opportunity firmly.
No need to do anything special.
As a young man with little experience, he only needs to fulfill his accompanying duties, do his best to be with this person, and be her guardian angel.
My thoughts were originally tangled.
I also came to terms with it at this moment.
Bai Jiangran took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down.
Then, when the vehicle arrives at its destination.
Bai Jiangran got out of the car, braving the flashes of the cameras at the entrance of the venue, and reached out to Qiao Xi in the car, showing his most charming smile so far.
"Well, boss, I'll be grateful for your guidance tonight."
The woman in the car placed her hand, which was covered in a black lace glove, gracefully on his palm and smiled back at him: "Let's go, Jiang Ran, this is just the beginning."
The two walked into the venue one after another.
The program crew who came with them put in even more effort and quickly caught up with Qiao Xi and Bai Jiangran.
