Chapter 791: What Would a Secretary Like You Know About Running a Business?
“Not at all. You can count on us for help.” Sheng Xiao took the opportunity to hold Mu Qiqi’s hand and answer Ren Yufei.
Sheng Bowen’s accident and the turmoil in Huang Yao… Someone was waiting for an opportunity to make a move. Wasn’t that just what Sheng Kai wanted to see?
“That’s great. I can rest a.s.sured now.” Ren Yufei heaved a sigh of relief.
Mu Qiqi pinched Sheng Xiao’s palm when she saw her like that and said to him, “Wait for me in the car for a few minutes. I’ll talk to Third Sister-in-law for a while before I come out.”
“Don’t take too long.” Sheng Xiao then strode out of the Sheng family’s living room.
“Third Sister-in-law, Grandpa is sick now and Third Brother has been arrested. The only person who can support the Sheng family is you. You must be strong. Don’t let Sheng Kai see you as a joke. You have to believe that Third Brother will be fine soon. You just need to hold on for a bit.”
Although Ren Yufei was worried, she knew the severity of the matter. She said to her, “Xiao Qi, don’t worry. I won’t collapse, at least not before he comes back.”
“That’s good.” After Mu Qiqi said that, she left the Sheng family’s home with Sheng Xiao.
There were some things that she could not help for Ren Yufei.
“What exactly does Shen Yu plan to do about Third Brother’s matter?” On the way back, Mu Qiqi asked Sheng Xiao.
“He’s preparing the information for bail pending trial,” Sheng Xiao answered while driving with one hand on the car window and the other on the steering wheel.
“I have a feeling that this Shen Yu has other tricks up his sleeve. Although he’s right under your nose, he’s still a dangerous person.” Mu Qiqi felt uneasy, especially when she saw that the old man was seriously ill. “What about after bail pending trial? Why don’t we close the case earlier and arrange for the Sheng family’s lawyer to be sent there?”
“I know what to do. The one who’s in trouble now is Huang Yao.”
..
Late at night, on the yacht.
Shen Yu was hugging ladies on his left and right, enjoying himself on the deck. However, this was all part of Changrong Electronics’s expenses, which made Sheng Kai very unhappy.
“Kid, that useless Third Brother of yours has just entered the detention center, but the good show is still to come. Don’t lament now that you didn’t spend this money well!” Shen Yu drank his red wine and mocked Sheng Kai, “You can’t just look at the immediate benefits.”
“Besides, now that Huang Yao is without a leader, it’s a great opportunity for you to make your move. You don’t even thank your teacher for such a good opportunity, you just lament over how I spent your money. Am I not working for you?”
“Sheng Xiao isn’t that easy to deal with. Did he really not notice anything you did?” Sheng Kai still couldn’t completely trust Shen Yu. This person was pretentious and cultured in the day, but at night, he revealed his true colors and was full of ugliness. Could such a person really hide from Sheng Xiao’s eyes?
He did not believe it.
“You don’t believe it? Your third brother has already gone in, and Sheng Xiao is still asking me to think of a way to bail him out. Do you know that even if Sheng Bowen is bailed out, he will fall into our second step of the plan? You don’t know anything. You only know how to exaggerate the enemy’s ability.”
“Let’s wait for Sheng Bowen’s trial doc.u.ment to be over first.” Sheng Kai kept his guard up.
Seeing him like this, Shen Yu smiled even more and gestured at him with his finger. “Come here, I’ll share with you another benefit…”
Sheng Kai inched closer doubtfully. Then, he heard Shen Yu say, “Huang Yao’s vice president’s old mother is in our hands. He’ll do whatever you want him to do. He’ll be willing to sell Huang Yao to you if you want it.”
“Aren’t you afraid that he will call the police?”
“He can’t do anything!”
Shen Yu smiled smugly, which also fully demonstrated what a loathsome man he was, what with his dirty and underhand means of achieving his goals.
“So tomorrow, go and check your big gift bag… You only need a small amount of capital, and you can get a lot of things from Huang Yao. Of course, if you want to devour the whale, then it’s best to lure the people of Huang Yao into taking the bait step by step.”
After Sheng Kai heard this, he felt like he was possessed. He found Shen Yu’s words so pleasing to his ears.
..
The next day, Huang Yao was to conduct its regular meeting. Sheng Bowen’s arrest had caused many of the contracts that Huang Yao had already negotiated to suddenly be interrupted. Various foreign companies were using that as an excuse to request to terminate their contracts with Huang Yao.
Ren Yufei sorted out the plans that Huang Yao had made for the second half of the year. Because of this matter, almost all of them had been called off.
“I’ve looked through all the briefings. Currently, all of our contracts have been lost. Only the one with the Sheng Yi group hasn’t been terminated. However, if we want to maintain our relations.h.i.+p with them, I suggest we have a little meet-up with them. I have actually spoken to them. They have quite a lot of conditions and requested that we increase the deposit by 20%,” the vice president of Huang Yao said, sounding very worried.
“20%? How can Huang Yao still take out so much money?” The finance department said helplessly.
“I’ve done some calculations. If we want to maintain the contract with Sheng Yi, we need to stop the investment in Asia and sell a few pieces of land. With that, we can barely make a turnaround.”
“But if we do that, the outside world will hear rumors and think that our Huang Yao is really running out of business and that’s why we’re selling our a.s.sets.” The finance department was worried. “Can’t we try to get Zhongteng to help?”
“I’ve tried. Zhongteng’s people don’t see me at all. Logically speaking, the relations.h.i.+p between Eighth Young Master and Huang Yao has eased up, so it shouldn’t be like this. However, I did get a cold shoulder when I went to Zhongteng. The people there also told me that Zhongteng won’t interfere with any of Huang Yao’s matters. Why else do you think I’m willing to do all this? Of course, this matter still needs to be discussed with the board of directors.”
“But, I saw Eighth Brother at home yesterday. He said that we can look for him anytime if we have any difficulties. Vice President Yang, when did you meet people from Zhongteng?” Ren Yufei sat at the side and asked the vice president.
“This…”
“Have you been to Zhongteng? I’ll call Eighth Brother to find out about this matter.”
“Secretary Ren, I’m afraid you can’t interfere with Huang Yao’s matters right now. You’re just CEO Sheng’s girlfriend. Moreover, he has already handed everything over to me to handle,” Vice President Yang said to Ren Yufei. “I’m on Huang Yao’s side. Why would I want to harm Huangyao?”
“That’s right, Secretary Ren. It doesn’t seem appropriate for you to interfere with Huang Yao’s matters right now. You’re not an official member of the board.” People from other departments also expressed their opinions.
“Why is it inappropriate? Bowen and I have already registered our marriage and are protected by the law. What’s inappropriate about that?” Ren Yufei asked the floor in return.
“Even so, you’re just a secretary. What do you know about running a business?”
Ren Yufei roughly understood what they meant. She hadn’t expected such decisions and reactions when Sheng Bowen had only just gotten into an accident. The members of the board were indeed very quick to make changes.
