Chapter 1172: Xiao Jincheng's New Plan
Turning to give Lin Yuqing an encouraging smile, Xiao Mingyang coldly looked at Xiao Jincheng and announced, "Starting tomorrow, I will temporarily take over Grandpa's position at the company. Five days later, I will return a peaceful Xiao Corporation to you!"
Xiao Jincheng's words were merely meant to provoke Xiao Mingyang; his real purpose was to invite Joanna. He hadn't expected the young man to agree so readily, so he had no choice but to reluctantly comply.
However, in Xiao Jincheng's heart, he still felt that Xiao Mingyang was incapable of completing this task. The reason this kid dared to agree so readily was entirely because he hadn't seen the current dire state of the company. How could he possibly get the massive Xiao Group running again on his own? In the end, he would definitely still follow Xiao Jincheng's arrangements!
With a smug smile playing on his lips, Xiao Jincheng had someone push him out the door.
After Xiao Jincheng left, a worried look slowly crept onto Lin Yuqing's face. She frowned slightly and asked, "Mingyang, is five days really enough?"
Holding Lin Yuqing's hand, Xiao Mingyang smiled gently and said, "Trust me, five days is more than enough."
Is there anything I can do for you?
“These next few days, I’ll be working with many new partners. There will be a lot of work involved, such as qualification reviews, contract signings, and payment transfers. I don’t trust anyone else, so I need you to help me with all of this.”
Looking up with a gentle smile, Lin Yuqing said, "These things are a piece of cake for me, don't worry."
Not wanting to be left out, Xuan'er clung to Xiao Mingyang's leg and asked, "Daddy, what can I do?"
Looking down at Xuan'er's bright, obsidian-like eyes, Xiao Mingyang patted his head and instructed, "You, just stay in the company and keep an eye on things. Don't let those annoying shareholders bother us."
Lin Yuqing naturally knew what kind of people would come looking for trouble, and hurriedly asked worriedly, "Xuan'er is so young, how can she deal with those cunning people?"
“It’s precisely because Xuan’er is so young that he can’t explain things clearly, and we can’t get angry at him, that they are helpless.” Xiao Mingyang pinched Lin Yuqing’s cute little nose and laughed. “Don’t worry, Xuan’er is so smart, this little thing won’t stump him.”
Xuan'er pursed her lips and thought to herself, "It's rare for my father to trust me like this. I must not let him down."
Bending down to pick up Xuan'er, Xiao Mingyang put his other arm around Lin Yuqing and said, "Let's all get some rest today. We'll be very busy starting tomorrow. But I believe that as a family, we'll definitely get through this crisis!"
Xiao Mingyang rarely held Xuan'er, so at this moment, Xuan'er felt very awkward. He turned his head to the side and refused to look at Xiao Mingyang's face.
This brat!
Xiao Mingyang could see Xuan'er's discomfort, but at this moment, he had a loving smile on his face and spoke in a gentle voice: "If there's anything you can't handle tomorrow, come to my office and tell me. Don't try to tough it out, understand?"
Xuan'er could feel her father's love, but he didn't show any emotion. He just lowered his head and said coldly, "Don't worry about me. Just focus on your own job!"
Seeing Xuan'er muttering to herself with her head down, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that these two people even had such similar awkward personalities!
……
At the enormous desk, Xuan'er was dozing off. Suddenly, a rough roar came from behind, startling Xuan'er.
"Xiao Mingyang, come out here!"
Busy sitting up straight, Xuan'er rubbed her eyes and said with dissatisfaction, "What are you yelling for? You're disturbing my sleep!"
Ali frowned and coldly ordered, "Kid, call your dad out here right now!"
Xuan'er adjusted her posture, then said unhappily, "He's not inside, how can I call him!"
"Nonsense! I just came from your house. The housekeeper said he's at the company. How could he not be here!"
Xuan'er was amused by Ali's argument, a mocking smile on her lips, and said, "The company is so big, who says Daddy is always in the office? Besides, I said he's not here, so I'm not here. Stop arguing!"
"You think you're not here? No way, I have to go in and check!"
Seeing that Ali was about to rush inside, Xuan'er quickly stood up to block him, saying anxiously, "But my mommy is sleeping inside. It's not good for you to go in now."
After pausing for a few seconds, Ali ordered again, "Then go and wake your mommy up, I have something to ask her!"
"I do not want!"
Ali was surprised that Xuan'er would refuse his suggestion. His eyes widened like saucers, and he roared, "What did you say?!"
Although Ali's expression was frightening, Xuan'er remained unmoved and explained slowly, "Recent events have made Mommy's sleep very poor. She finally fell asleep, so let her rest a little longer."
Ali has a fiery temper, and with things so urgent, he's in no mood to wait for Lin Yuqing to wake up. He immediately roared, "The company is almost bankrupted by you three, and you still have the mind to sleep!"
The loud shouts carried all the way to the assistant's office next door, where Wilson craned his neck to watch the commotion. Of course, he wasn't the only one watching; everyone through the glass was curious about what was happening inside.
Seeing that the attention had been focused enough, Xuan'er pouted, looked up, and began to wail sadly. While crying, she also berated Ali for his cold-heartedness, saying intermittently, "We didn't want the company to become like this, why did you take your anger out on me! Waaah, you're a bad person, you only know how to bully children!"
Ali was already annoyed, and now, hearing the child crying, he was even more confused. Adding to his woes, the people outside were peeking in and pointing at him, making him feel even worse. Frustrated and realizing Xiao Mingyang wasn't inside, he stormed off, grumbling and cursing.
The two people hiding in the room looked up from a pile of documents, smiled at each other, and then...
“I never expected our son to have such a talent for acting. If I didn’t know the truth, I would have been fooled by him.”
Lin Yuqing shook her head helplessly and said, "It's a matter of circumstance. I don't think Xuan'er would like this either."
Patting Lin Yuqing on the shoulder, Xiao Mingyang smiled and said, "It's not bad to have more challenges in life. Fortunately, most of the data has been processed. I'll have Rudolf generate the system in a bit, and then things will be settled."
Lin Yuqing trusted Xiao Mingyang, nodded firmly, then lowered her head and continued working.
During these five days, apart from Xiao Mingyang and Lin Yuqing being extremely busy, everyone in the company was in a state of panic, living in constant fear, not knowing what bad news they might hear or what would happen if they lost their jobs.
