Yes, of course.
But Yang Xue shook her head and said nothing.
Not only that, but there was a touch of sadness on his face.
Lin Yue picked up the coffee and took a sip, then put the cup back on the coffee table. He picked up a spoon and stirred it slightly. He seemed to be careless, but in fact he said meaningfully: "I heard about your dad..."
She hesitated for a moment, moved her lips a few times and asked, "Then why didn't you come?"
"Didn't I have someone send a wreath?"
"Still in the name of President Jin of Shuangwu Group."
Anyone can hear the blame and sarcasm in this sentence.
Lin Yue said with a wry smile: "Your dad doesn't like me. In line with the principle of respecting the deceased, I shouldn't come here either."
Yang Xue said: "It's not that my dad doesn't like you, my dad...my dad is afraid of you."
Lin Yue said: "Afraid of me? Are you sure?"
"Miss, your coffee." The waiter came over, placed the coffee with neither sugar nor milk in front of Yang Xue, whispered "please use it slowly", turned and left.
She didn't mind the heat, so she picked it up, took a sip, and slowly put the cup back. She didn't know what suddenly occurred to her, and stared blankly at the grease floating on the surface of the cup.
"Do you know? When I was in school, I learned how to make coffee from the owner of a coffee shop. I went there for two days, but he wouldn't let me go. He said that I was a person who was eager for quick success and was not suitable for this kind of job. Only with patience and determination can we continue to do the work.”
"Well, the boss has a very vicious eye."
Think carefully about the relationship between Yang Xue and Chen Jianghe in the TV series. After chasing her to Puxi Socks Factory, she obviously messed up and put too much pressure on Chen Jianghe. Originally, their growing environment and family conditions were very different. Such a big gap is naturally very attractive to people who want to climb high. Unfortunately, her target is Chen Jianghe, a man who seems to have been lowered and will not marry anyone other than Luo Yuzhu in this life.
Yang Xue continued: "My dad said the same thing. She said that I am too narrow-minded and easy to get into trouble. If you want a piece of jade to become a tool, it will not work without tempering. And the biggest test he gave me is to stay far away from you." , so that he can safely hand over the group to me."
Lin Yue said: "He really thinks highly of me and uses me to test you."
"Shuangwu Group, that Mr. Jin... the real situation... he is your assistant, right?"
When asking this question, she stared into Lin Yue's eyes without blinking.
"Why do you ask that question?"
"This is not my problem, it's my dad's problem." She paused before asking a second question: "It's you who led Director Wan and his family of the meat factory in Luohe to such a tragic ending." Did you do the right thing?”
"Am I that capable?"
"Don't you?" Yang Xue stared at him for a while, maybe thinking that this kind of confrontation was meaningless, and sighed softly and said, "That's what my dad said anyway."
"So your dad used to be afraid of me, but after this incident, it escalated to being afraid of me, right?"
Yang Xue nodded lightly: "My dad said you were very dangerous. When you said you wanted to inherit his inheritance...it's best to joke, but if you are serious, then...the Yang family will probably cease to exist in the future. He can't tolerate this kind of thing." When something happens, it’s hard to rest in peace.”
】
When she said this, her voice was very low. She didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or to relieve embarrassment. The spoon hit the wall of the cup again and again, making a soft tinkling sound.
Lin Yue felt quite happy, and both father and daughter felt happy.
In the past, Yang Xue was very arrogant in front of him, as if she was a strong woman in the new era. Now, because of her father, meeting him feels like she has done something wrong. There is a feeling of uneasiness outside.
And Yang Tianci... the old guy's eyes are poisonous, but his vision is still a bit narrow. It is still the foundation that I have finally broken into. I must keep it, and I must let his surname be Yang. It's like seeing Chen Jianghe in the TV series. What he said at the time - he felt that Chen Jianghe was a talent, and now the talent would be used by him. It was this arrogance and narrow-mindedness that created Yang Xue's miserable life in the TV series.
"I heard from Jiang Zhenshan that Yang's Socks, a subsidiary of your group, has begun to shrink its business and has given up part of the Shanghai market to the Shuangyan brand produced by Puxi Socks Factory. Could it be because of me?"
"Yes, it's because of you."
"Is this...so bad? I have become a savage beast in your father's eyes."
He glanced at the road outside the window. He saw that the foreign woman selling lotus seeds had reached a compromise with the old Shanghainese on the price. The former took a scale and began to weigh the lotus seeds. The latter was tense and stared at the scale on the scale.
He couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The steelyard was faked and fell on the scale. What was the point of keeping an eye on the scale?
Yang Xue followed his gaze and glanced out the window, but didn't pay attention. She scratched the handle of the coffee cup with her fleshy thumb.
"It's not my dad, it's the people on the board of directors. They plan to abandon the sock market and invest money in hardware and jewelry."
"The board of directors of Yang Group?" Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Did the incident happen after your father passed away?"
Yang Xue did not answer this question, or in other words, she acquiesced in his statement.
"A show of force?"
"..."
Now he understood the problem, how old is Yang Xue this year? She was only twenty-four or five years old. As soon as Yang Tianci died, she took over as the chairman of the group and began to take charge of the entire company. Most of the people on the board of directors were old people who worked with Yang Tianci. Can they convince her?
Otherwise, how could Ruan Wenxiong have the opportunity to get close to her in the TV series, and it wouldn't be because of the relationship with the board of directors.
However, the logic here is a bit confusing. According to common sense, the most reasonable time for the board of directors to fabricate her rebellion is after Yang Tianci's death, not after Yang Xue took over the group for more than ten years. It can only be said that the screenwriter forcibly forced Arrange the relationship between Ruan Wenxiong and Yang Xue.
"Haha, they are really old foxes. I think... they probably took advantage of your father's desire to keep you away from me to force you to compromise."
Who is Yang Xue? Because he was tricked by Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu in the Puxi Socks Factory, he became angry. Ten years later, he tried his best to join forces with the Spanish trader Fernand to bring down the Yuzhu Group in one fell swoop. By leaving him, Yang Tianci lost the fat piece of Puxi Socks Factory, and coupled with some unexplainable feelings, would she give up easily? The operation that best suits her personality is to compete with Shuangwu Group in the sock market, so as to gain the opportunity to continue dealing with him, instead of losing contact with him.
Will the elders of the Yang Group agree with her idea? Obviously, the answer is no. In the 1980s, the profits of socks were very high. In the 1990s, the hardware market gradually emerged. Not only did domestic demand increase day by day, but orders from abroad also came like a snowflake. They shifted their strategic focus to hardware and The jewelry market is also well-founded and is not a random mistake. There is another benefit to doing this, that is, it will undermine Yang Xue's self-confidence, make her lower her attitude, be soft to them, and even use this incident as an opportunity to oust her step by step.
Yang Xue said: "Without Yang's resistance, Shuangyan Socks will soon occupy the Shanghai market. Over time, Jiang Zhenshan will also take a certain share of foreign orders. You should be happy, and you should be grateful to them, right? ?”
Lin Yue replied: "I have never thought about monopolizing the market in a certain business field. A dominant company will inevitably create many unpredictable risks, political, market, internal management, technical... all kinds of problems, and there is competition. Only then can the market be dynamic, companies have motivation, managers have pressure, and consumers have the ability to choose. The total of these is a healthy, stable system with the ability to self-regulate and innovate."
In the past, Yang Xue's impression of him was that he was deficient. When translating, this kid could speak multiple languages. When the Japanese held Chen Jianghe's seven-inch hand, he took out the design drawing of the jacquard machine. Yang's response to Puxi Socks Factory It was he who relieved the pressure of delivery. In the end, he took advantage of the tiger's mouth and played a trick on Yang Tianci, making her father questionable in the board of directors. When they sat down to talk about management today, she realized that the person in front of her was even better than her. The man who is one or two years younger is superior to her father and her in terms of overall outlook, knowledge structure, pattern, and logical thinking ability.
"Then what your Shuangwu Group did to the Luohe Meat Factory..."
"Ms. Yang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. Be careful, I will sue you for slander." Lin Yue said this half-jokingly, and then said in a serious tone: "We welcome fair competition. Moreover, Shuangwu Group has always left room for survival and development for small and medium-sized meat products companies to promote the healthy development and cycle of the entire industry, but if it plays dirty tricks behind the scenes, the final result can only be self-destruction, and it is that kind of A pretty miserable way to die.”
"Did you do the same to Luo Yuzhu?"
"You also know about this? Let me guess, which store in the Commodity City is opened by you... Lao Tong in District B, I heard that his hometown is Shaanxi, Mrs. Fu in District C 2-1? Or District E The three-headed green man who sells toothpicks, disposable tachyons, ashtrays and various wooden ornaments?"
He named three people, seemingly guessing, but one of them actually worked for her.
This guy... definitely did it on purpose, but she knew very well that if she asked him how he knew, he would definitely pretend to be stupid and talk nonsense without telling the truth. In the end, she would be upset and angry.
Yang Xue once again felt the feeling of being manipulated by him, and there was some long-lost sadness and sadness in her heart.
"Poor Chen Jianghe..."
"Pity? It's everyone's choice. He knows what is right, but he can't change Luo Yuzhu's mind, and others have no way to solve this problem." He didn't intend to continue talking about this issue, and took a sip of coffee: " I came to Shanghai to help you deal with those old guys. Next week, as the chairman, you will request a meeting of the board of directors, and I will go and meet with them."
Yang Xue was taken aback, thinking that he was here to see her laugh...
Speaking of this matter, she keenly discovered a problem, that is, she, who has always been strong and arrogant, and who has never shown timidity in front of others, was able to take off her disguise this time and expose her inner fragile side.
"You...why do you want to help me?"
Lin Yue blinked at her: "Didn't I say it? I want to marry you and inherit Yang Tianci's inheritance. If he doesn't accept it, he can lift the coffin board and find me."
With this tone again, you have no idea whether he is telling the truth or joking to tease you. This kind of mentality that switches between being steady and serious and joking and wild is really confusing.
If it were someone else who was joking about her dad, she would definitely not be able to accept it and would definitely fall out on the spot, but in front of him.
"..."
She was lifeless, with her head down, stirring the coffee with a sad look on her face.
Lin Yue thought that she had not yet recovered from the shock of her father's death, and advised her to grieve a little and surrender. Only she knew that this sadness was not for Yang Tianci, but for herself.
…
Three days later.
Tuesday.
The scene of the Yang Group’s board of directors.
Yang Xue hasn't arrived yet, and there are eight people sitting around the circular conference table, seven men and one woman, all in their 40s and above, and the oldest one looks over 60 years old.
A man with black and white hair kept spinning the Parker pen in his hand. There was a circle of gold on the top of the pen cap, which should be made of pure gold. It was somewhat noble, but both his movements and facial expressions were a bit frivolous, or rather impatient.
"Xu Bo, can you please stop spinning that pen? It makes me dizzy."
The dark-skinned woman in her early 50s next to him was very unhappy with his behavior. They waited for Yang Xue for twenty minutes, and Xu Bo turned this thing around for fifteen minutes. They all knew that this was a high-end pen that was sold in limited quantities, but you also It can't be so dazzling.
When Xu Bo heard about it, he could only stop spinning the thing and knocked on the table with the pen in his hand: "It's so outrageous. She didn't even mention an urgent meeting of the board of directors and made us wait for so long. What does she want to do? There's nothing wrong with it. Regarding the concept of time, does the chairman do this?"
His complaint can be said to be the voice of everyone, and several directors nearby nodded.
"Mr. Weng, please say something."
He looked at the oldest man on the left. The most eye-catching thing was the age spots on the right side of his face. From this point alone, it can be concluded that he was older than Yang Tianci, who died just two months ago. conclusion.
Mr. Weng didn't seem to hear him. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked calm. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"That's right, Mr. Weng, please don't say anything. The meeting can't start yet. Everyone has something to do and doesn't have time to play house with her." A person sitting diagonally opposite sat sideways and put one hand on the back of the chair. said the man in front of him.
Mr. Weng just glanced at him and remained silent.
The other directors at the back looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads and sighing.
Xu Bo said: "I think she did this just to show off everyone. The eldest lady is young and energetic. We rejected her plan last time. She can't swallow this breath and wants to get it back at today's board meeting. Qin Tong, what do you think?"
The dark-skinned woman moved her sore and numb neck.
"It is her father's wish not to compete with Shuangwu Group for the sock market. Of course we cannot let her do whatever she wants."
It sounds reasonable, but everyone knows that Yang Tianci's wish is just a reason. The real purpose of this is to give Yang Xue, a new official, a show of strength and let her know that there are still a bunch of old people on the board of directors, and things do not mean that she After inheriting Yang Tianci's property and taking the position of chairman, from now on, she will have to listen to her on all major and minor matters of the group.
Xu Bo and others beside him whispered in agreement.
At this moment, they heard footsteps coming from the corridor. Soon, the door of the conference room opened, and Yang Xue, dressed in smart professional attire, walked into the room, but even so, the white shirt could not suppress her material upper body. , making her the focus of men wherever she goes.
"I went to pick up someone at short notice. I'm sorry, I'm late."
She was apologizing, but there was no trace of sincerity in her tone or expression.
"Accepting people? Who can be more important than holding a board meeting?" Mr. Weng said while suppressing his anger.
He never complained. This time he opened his mouth to question. Xu Bo and others were very happy because, to put it in an ugly but reasonable way, a biting dog does not show its teeth. Compared with Mr. Weng... they still So tender.
"That's him."
Yang Xue, who had just sat down in the chairman's seat, said something that left everyone confused.
it's him?
who is he?
Soon, this question was answered with the arrival of a person.
Xu Bo looked at the young man opposite and frowned, realizing that he didn't know this person at all, let alone what Yang Xue wanted to do by bringing him to the board of directors?
The others had similar expressions, and the last two directors even whispered, "Who is this person?"
Yang Xue said: "You remember my father's wish, but you don't even recognize him. This...is a bit unreasonable, right?"
After saying this, several people seemed to realize something, and their expressions changed.
"Yes, he is Lin Yue, the assistant to Mr. Jin of Shuangwu Group who is highly regarded by my father."
