Xiao Anjing understood him too well and said reluctantly, "Tianyi, you're so injured, don't do anything foolish that risks your life..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tianyi gestured for him to leave.
Helplessly, he stopped nagging, letting Tianyi rest quietly, and went directly to the group to find some successful acquisition cases for Gu Susu.
...
In the following days, Susu tried her best not to think about whether Qin Tianyi was alive or dead, or where he was after his disappearance, dedicating all her energy to learning about business acquisitions.
She had already represented Qin Tianyi at the board meeting of Aoxiang Group, saying exactly what Xiao Anjing had taught her, but it still drew the questioning of two directors.
Some also raised the issue of what would happen if Qin Tianyi was never found after his disappearance, whether the position of Aoxiang's president would remain vacant forever, and that this would lead to major problems!
At that time, Xiao Anjing stepped forward to assure the directors that even if Tianyi's whereabouts were unknown, as long as everyone united, it would not affect Aoxiang in the slightest, and that he and Susu would manage Aoxiang even better.
However, no one believed the suddenly appearing Mrs. Qin, and some directors with ulterior motives wanted to seize power.
The meeting room became filled with resentment and worry, which Xiao Anjing couldn't suppress.
Susu couldn't stand by and watch Aoxiang, painstakingly built by Tianyi, fall into crisis. She remembered that in that diary, Wen Shuman had also written that Shu Zhongze's father died early, and Shu Zhongze was still in high school at the time, so she managed the Shu Group for a period.
At that time, Wen Shuman faced a similar situation to Susu. She was fearless in the face of danger and suppressed all dissenting opinions, gaining the trust and support of the Shu Group's directors.
Susu still remembered the passage she wrote in her diary. She tried tapping the microphone in front of her and, with the demeanor befitting Qin Tianyi's woman, said, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."
A director who wanted to take advantage of the situation said with a laugh, "A joke, listen to you? Besides being Mr. Qin's wife, have you ever worked or stayed at Aoxiang? May I ask which business school you graduated from, and do you have experience managing enterprises?"
"That's right," someone quickly chimed in, "Mr. Qin suddenly disappeared, and they're letting a woman who knows nothing manage the group. Isn't this going to bring everyone down with her!"
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
Suddenly, someone else piped up, "I've seen videos online, talking about disappearance. I think Mr. Qin was blown to death!"
Susu immediately questioned that director angrily, "Why do you say he's dead? Have you seen his body? Do you have proof?"
The man was speechless and could only glare at Susu.
Someone else egged them on, saying, "Disappearing in an explosion is equivalent to death! What are you and Mr. Xiao acting out here..."
"Enough," Susu said forcefully, slapping the table. "What is the purpose of everyone sitting here today for this board meeting? Is it to have infighting, to let Aoxiang fall into chaos before the external rivals have even questioned it, and then all the assets Aoxiang possesses will quickly evaporate, and we'll all be ruined?"
Someone replied, "Of course not, we are worried about the future of the group!"
Susu said calmly, without revealing her emotions, "Very good. If everyone here is sitting here for that reason, then our goals are the same. It's understandable that you question my education and my abilities. But during Mr. Qin's disappearance, only I, as his wife, can represent him and quell external doubts. At this time, internal members of the group should unite and show the outside world that even without Mr. Qin, Aoxiang can still maintain its position in the business world of Lancheng as usual."
At this point, the meeting room finally quieted down, and everyone looked at her in silence.
Susu continued, "Under a collapsed nest, how can there be any intact eggs? You all understand this, right? I hope that worries about Aoxiang's future will not be exploited by some people with ulterior motives."
As Susu's gaze swept over these directors, the two directors who wanted to seize power immediately lowered their heads guiltily.
"I am indeed ignorant of the group's internal affairs at the moment. You can doubt my abilities, but what about Mr. Xiao's abilities? Do you doubt his abilities completely as well?" Susu said with a smile. "The Aoxiang shares he holds are not much less than my husband Qin's. If you don't even trust him, then he can completely end Aoxiang with me, cash out his shares, and live a carefree life."
Xiao Anjing smiled and nodded repeatedly beside Susu. The directors immediately became anxious and said, "No, no, we completely trust Mr. Xiao. Usually, when Mr. Qin is away, Mr. Xiao can also manage the overall situation."
Xiao Anjing clasped his hands together and cupped them towards the directors who were flattering him, still with his lazy and indifferent demeanor, sneaking a glance at the flashing signal on his phone.
He was secretly live-streaming the scene to Qin Tianyi, believing that Qin Tianyi had already seen Susu subdue these directors.
Susu smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees with Mr. Xiao, then when Mr. Qin is away, he will still help me manage the overall situation. Everyone can rest assured and do their jobs as usual. Don't think or do things you shouldn't, otherwise, at the next board meeting, some people will no longer have a seat! Then I wish them success in making money elsewhere. Meeting adjourned."
Xiao Anjing, watching from the side, still felt it was not enough. He didn't expect Susu to announce the adjournment so decisively. He could only echo, "Then today's board meeting is adjourned. If anyone has any further questions, you can find me for a private chat. Meeting adjourned."
In the completely dark room, Qin Tianyi stared at Susu on the phone screen, completely understanding why the old fox Shu Zhongze had chosen Susu as his successor.
It was likely that even without him, her husband, Susu, with a little cultivation and training, could have inherited the Shu Group very well.
He gently touched Susu's capable and ruthless face on the screen with his finger and whispered, "Do you know how much I miss you?"
...
After returning from the board meeting, Susu plunged herself into the Aoxiang materials given to her by Xiao Anjing, forcing herself to familiarize herself with all aspects of Aoxiang Group in a short period.
She locked herself in her room for days and didn't go out again.
Chen Ma would bring meals to her room every day, and only after she finished eating would she take away the empty bowls and plates.
Seeing her studying materials again tonight, scribbling and marking with different colored pens, Chen Ma couldn't help but say, "Young Madam, are you trying to become a scholar by working so hard? Don't stay in your room all the time. When you have time, you should go downstairs to the back garden for a walk, breathe in some fresh air, and don't forget you're pregnant."
Susu put down the pen in her hand, stretched, placed one hand on her belly, and then pulled Chen Ma's hand to her belly, saying, "Chen Ma, look, has my belly gotten bigger again? It's already four months old in the blink of an eye."
