Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Qi’s rise to the helm of Rong Holdings marked a pivotal moment for the once-struggling company.
On the day of her first public appearance as head of the Rong family, antic.i.p.ation buzzed through the crowd of journalists outside the Rong Holdings building.
Despite her low online profile, with only a few obscured photos in gossip columns and some distant shots from Capital University, the media was abuzz with curiosity about the new leader who had once been dismissed as a fool.
As a stretched Lincoln glided to a stop, Rong Qi emerged, commanding attention.
She was a vision in a tender yellow Qiyan haute couture dress and a delicate white feather shawl, her wavy hair styled in an elegant princess updo crowned with a subtle silver tiara.
She walked with poise and grace, radiating confidence.
The moment she appeared, cameras swiveled in unison to capture her entrance.
Walking up to the red carpet, Rong Qi took her place at the conference podium, ready to face the media.
Beside her stood several veteran directors who had served under her predecessor, Rong Tianshi.
They had completed their interviews and now waited for Rong Qi’s responses.
However, the initial question thrown at Rong Qi was far from welcoming. A journalist asked skeptically, “Ms. Rong, given Rong Holdings’ current financial crisis, what makes you think you can turn things around?”
Before she could reply, a dismissive snort came from an old director. “She’ll probably just sell the company for quick cash within a week. It’s a shame to see our hard work go to waste under her.”
Ignoring the condescension, Rong Qi maintained her composure.
The journalists, sensing an undercurrent of tension, quickly followed up with another pointed question. “Ms. Rong, is it true you only became the successor because you’re the last in the Rong lineage?”
Rong Qi’s response was calm and a.s.sertive. “The past is behind us. I am here to forge a new future for Rong Holdings. That’s all that matters.”
Her bold statement was met with skepticism and murmurs of arrogance from the veteran directors.
Undeterred, Rong Qi sat down, her confidence leaving an impression on the journalists.
They knew she had the backing of the influential Sheng Jian, but wondered if that alone was enough to make headlines.
Amidst this speculation, the old directors suddenly stood up, their announcement echoing like a thunderclap in the room. “Rong Holdings isn’t a plaything for one person. In this day and age, leadership isn’t inherited by default. Denied a fair selection process, we refuse to be part of this charade. As of today, we resign from our positions!”
