Chapter 701: 701
Xi Shi
Ning Guangyao quickly stuffed the photo back into the drawer as he replied, “Cuishan, I’m inside . ”
Luo Cuishan gently pushed the door open with a teacup in hand, before she lovingly smiled at Ning Guangyao and said, “Why are you shutting yourself inside right after work? I bet the past few days must’ve been hectic for you . Here, I got you some American ginseng tea . ”
Ning Guangyao was a little touched by her attentiveness, as he received the tea from her . He replied, “You must be pretty well worn yourself . Remember to take care of yourself as well . ”
Luo Cuishan smiled as she shook her head . Her line of sight however coincidentally peeked on the monitor display . What she saw stunned her .
Ning Guangyao sipped from the cup before he noticed that Luo Cuishan was engrossed on his computer display . He awkwardly shifted the topic as he said, “Oh yeah, is Guodong still unwilling to come back?”
“Yeah . ” Luo Cuishan turned back to look at him, smiling helplessly . “That kid is in it for the long run . And you too, why do you have to push him that far? Regardless of what he has done, he is still our one and only son . You should give him a chance . ”
“Huh, a tiny setback and he’s this defeated? How then can I expect him to take over the clan? When I was young I had nothing . Everything I have now was the result of my blood, sweat, and tears . The kid managed to get himself an executive position at such a young age . What more does he want? I believe it was my mistake for pampering him this much . He thinks everyone should be awed at his presence . He has to understand that it was his own misjudgment towards the Yang clan that has led to his pitfall,” Ning Guangyao said unwaveringly .
Luo Cuishan nodded . “Well, that’s undeniable . Since Grandfather’s death, while we’re still the center of attraction, our power is still all in all very debatable . We can’t go head on with the two elders of the Yang and Li clans . ”
Ning Guangyao sighed as he emphasized, “Taking everything into consideration, you should advise him sparingly to admit to his mistakes . Otherwise, I would have no other choice than to send him to the bottom of the hierarchy to teach him a lesson . ”
Luo Cuishan was terrified at his proclamation as she probed, “Are you sending him outstation? Others only do that for their résumé . Is—is that even necessary given the status of our clan? Where better to hone his skills than Beijing? Guangyao, you have to think this through . Our son might be naive and brash, but he has never disappointed us when it comes to work!”
Ning Guangyao humphed . He had no intention of arguing with his wife .
Luo Cuishan, filled with uncertainty, mumbled, “You… are concerned about Xue Zijing’s daughter, aren’t you?”
Ning Guangyao’s hand shivered as he barely held onto his teacup, staring at Luo Cuishan in a daze . “Why… are you…”
Lu Cuishan looked disappointed as she replied, “I know you have a history with Xue Zijing back in the days . No surprise there . She later went on to marry into the Lin family and give birth to Lin Ruoxi, and we had our child . From that day forth we had been stable and joyful, which is why I never brought that up . ”
Ning Guangyao secretly let out a breath of relief as he diffidently smiled . “Nevertheless, she is the daughter of an old acquaintance . Now that neither of her parents is around, I feel responsible for what happens to her . Not to mention Yu Lei International is the key adhesion to the financial prowess within Beijing . I genuinely wish for them to prevail through . ”
A glimpse of discontent flashed through Luo Cuishan’s eyes before she lifted her head . “Seeing how busy you are these days, just put this matter aside . Since I’m coincidentally heading to Zhonghai tomorrow for site inspection, why don’t you let me take this over and mediate connection over there in your stead? I believe it would be better for them if I could assist them physically . ”
“Are… you serious?” Ning Guangyao was in slight disbelief .
Luo Cuishan rolled her eyes as she emphasized, “Do you really think I’d hate her daughter just because you had a past with Xue Zijing? The child is innocent . Besides, I am doing this for the wellbeing of our country’s economy . ”
Feeling touched, Ning Guangyao stood up and held his wife by the hand . “All these years going through thick and thin, I am so grateful for your presence . But now I finally got to see how compassionate you truly are and it makes me guilty that I’ve never treated you better . To be honest with you, I was expecting you to be infuriated for my care towards the child . But for you to take the initiative to step up and help her is really something else . ”
Luo Cuishan shook her head as she gave a sincere smile, “All I have in mind is to support you on the things you do . ”
Ning Guangyao lovingly stared at his wife, his pupils gradually becoming watery before he ultimately embraced her with all his might .
Meanwhile, the headquarters of Yu Lei International were well lit . It was deep into midnight, but no one had left the company .
Several off-duty employees took the initiative to return to the office, as they switched positions with the ones at work, providing them with a much-needed break .
In accordance to Lin Ruoxi’s proposed strategy, every 10 minutes, accountants within the company would separately purchase small amounts of the company stocks, while the other departments would play the role in convincing investors to retain trust towards the company .
In the main conference hall, Liu Mingyu and a few other executive officers were discussing other possible methods to remedy the situation . Lin Ruoxi sat right at her commanding seat, attentively observing the constantly updating financial data on display .
Right at that moment, the conference room door was opened . It didn’t take long until everyone noticed the aroma of spices, causing all eyes to be focused on the door .
“Haha, you all have a great sense of smell, don’t you?” Yang Chen held multiple bags of different sizes as he jovially proceeded to leave them on the conference table, directly above some documents .
If it was before the incident, many would have been displeased by Yang Chen’s erratic interruption, but now that he was known as the CEO’s husband, no one would risk picking a bone with him .
“Director Yang, what are these?” A high-ranked executive broke the ice .
Lin Ruoxi, indifferent, shifted her focus over to Yang Chen .
“What else could it be? It’s supper,” Yang Chen replied as he retrieved the food inside the plastic bags . It didn’t take long before the table was placed with mala skewers, fried rice cakes, deep-fried loin and an array of assorted night market snacks .
The employees hadn’t had a proper meal since lunch, and now that it was late at night, the common delicacies that were usually disregarded were now a sight for sore eyes .
But they held back their urges and stared at Lin Ruoxi with intense gazes, waiting for her permission .
