"Second Miss Jiang," Lin Xuan said, "from now on, you will handle everything regarding the company. I won't be interfering at all."
Jiang Yutong was a member of the Jiang family, and she possessed certain tactics when it came to corporate management.
He didn't need to worry about a thing.
This was one of the main reasons he had chosen to partner with her in the first place.
Jiang Yutong frowned.
Lin Xuan continued, "Second Miss Jiang, you just need to send me my share of the dividends on time. As for everything else, unless there is an emergency that absolutely requires my attention, you don't need to inform me."
Why toil and sweat when being a hands-off boss was so much more comfortable?
Being hands-on just wasn't his style.
Jiang Yutong gripped her phone tightly.
Little Xuan likely didn't want to have too much contact with her.
Now that Lin Qingwan had been effectively dealt with and the company was about to take off, it would be difficult for her to use business as an excuse to contact Little Xuan.
Without a way to interact with Little Xuan, her chances of getting him to acknowledge their family bond were even slimmer.
However, right now, she had no choice but to agree.
"Alright."
Jiang Yutong could only accept for now.
She would find another way to get close to Little Xuan later.
"Second Miss Jiang, I have some matters to attend to, so I'm hanging up now."
The beeping tone of a disconnected call came from the phone.
Jiang Yutong put down her phone, feeling depressed.
A company supervisor walked into the office and reported on his work to Jiang Yutong.
"Mm, good job. You can leave now," Jiang Yutong said gloomily.
Manager Chen asked with concern, "President Jiang, are you ill?"
"I'm not ill." Jiang Yutong shook her head. "I'm just in a bad mood."
"President Jiang, I wonder what's troubling you? Perhaps I can help you resolve it," Manager Chen suggested.
Jiang Yutong shook her head. "You can't solve this. I asked you before, and you said there was nothing you could do."
Manager Chen frowned.
President Jiang had asked him?
Manager Chen thought back on recent events and suddenly understood.
President Jiang was distressed about the matter of getting her younger brother to acknowledge the family.
Well, that was indeed something he couldn't solve.
Come to think of it, he never expected President Jiang to be such a "brother-doting maniac."
He wondered who President Jiang's brother was to be held in such high regard by her.
Furthermore, the guy was incredibly arrogant. Their President Jiang was the heiress of the Jiang Group, an entity that countless people tried to curry favor with but failed.
Yet, the brother President Jiang spoke of actually treated her with disdain...
Manager Chen really envied Jiang Yutong's brother.
To be valued so highly by the Jiang family... if he were to return to the family, who knew how spoiled he would become.
"Sigh. How can Little Xuan just be a hands-off boss like that?" Jiang Yutong muttered.
Manager Chen asked curiously, "President Jiang, isn't that a good thing? If he's a hands-off boss, he won't interfere with your decision-making."
Previously, many people had wanted to invest in their company, but President Jiang had rejected every single one of them because she feared they would meddle in company decisions.
Yet now, why did it seem like President Jiang wanted President Lin to interfere...
"What's good about it? If Little Xuan doesn't ask about company matters, how will I have the opportunity to win his favor? And how can I get him to acknowledge me as his sister?" Jiang Yutong retorted.
Hearing this, Manager Chen's eyes widened.
The person President Jiang wanted to acknowledge as family was actually... President Lin.
Oh my god.
What kind of winner in life was President Lin?
He had started the Sky Curtain Group himself, and his maternal family was the Jiangs.
If he also got a wealthy wife...
Manager Chen felt a pang of jealousy.
"President Jiang, is he your biological brother?" Manager Chen couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yutong glanced at him. "How could he not be? Little Xuan is so outstanding, he simply has to be a member of my Jiang family!"
Manager Chen muttered under his breath, "If only I could have Lin Xuan's luck."
Who wouldn't envy a life like Lin Xuan's?
"President Jiang, I'll be going now."
Manager Chen left the office.
Jiang Yutong went back to work.
She had to develop the company well and show Little Xuan her capabilities. That way, she could make a good impression on him.
Half an hour later.
A thought struck her. Jiang Yutong put down her pen and called Lei Hui.
"President Lei, I heard that it doesn't cost money to get on the trending searches of major platforms through you, is that correct?" Jiang Yutong asked.
"That's right." Lei Hui smiled and nodded. "President Jiang, are you planning to make something trend?"
"Yes. Tonight, Mrs. Chen will be attending a banquet. You just need to arrange for a trending topic on all major platforms stating that Mrs. Chen used my company's ointment and her face has basically recovered. As for when to push the topic up the rankings, I will contact you," Jiang Yutong said.
"Alright, that's a small matter. I'll contact them right away." Lei Hui agreed without hesitation.
"President Lei," Jiang Yutong asked again, "do you happen to know if Little Xuan has any hobbies?"
Lei Hui frowned. "President Jiang, why do you ask?"
"Little Xuan has been very resistant to acknowledging us. I just wanted to know his hobbies so I can give him something he likes," Jiang Yutong explained.
She had originally thought about asking Little Xuan's girlfriend, but she felt that his girlfriend harbored a lot of hostility toward her. If she asked, the girlfriend might not tell her.
She could only ask Lei Hui and see if he knew.
Lei Hui stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. "The boss rarely comes to the company, so I don't know much about other things. What I do know is that the boss is quite lazy, and he likes money."
"President Jiang, I feel that you could focus on developing the company and helping the boss earn more money."
Jiang Yutong stroked her chin.
Little Xuan liked money...
It seemed she would have to earn more money and then send Little Xuan more valuable gifts.
"Thank you, President Lei," Jiang Yutong said gratefully.
Lei Hui shook his head. "President Jiang, I just mentioned it in passing. No need to thank me."
He had told Jiang Yutong about the boss's hobby because he also hoped she could win the boss over sooner rather than later.
That way, the Sky Curtain Group would have the backing of both the Su Group and the Jiang Group.
They would be able to walk unhindered throughout the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
"President Lei, if there is anything you need me to do in the future, just ask. I will definitely help if I can," Jiang Yutong said.
"Alright, thank you, President Jiang."
After hanging up, Lei Hui looked at his phone and shook his head.
Their boss was definitely the more level-headed one.
The Jiang family kept trying to reclaim their boss, while the boss had always treated them like something to be avoided at all costs.
The Jiang family was powerful and influential. Anyone else would probably be rushing to claim that connection.
However, Boss Su was the boss's girlfriend. Boss Su loved the boss so much that she would do anything for him.
With Boss Su as a backer, he really didn't need to acknowledge the Jiang family.
Of course, having both the Jiang family and Boss Su as backers would be the best outcome.
At this thought, a look of envy appeared on Lei Hui's face.
"He's a genius with incredible skills, has a girlfriend like Boss Su, and has the Jiang family as his maternal relatives. The boss is a true winner in life."
As the saying goes, "When one man achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to Heaven."
He was an employee under the boss, so he would surely benefit from the boss's success as well.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body.
