Qin Moyan chided himself for being too talkative and said, ’We’ll talk about the rest after the board meeting.’
‘Well, goodbye.’ Ye Xinuo didn’t seem to have taken the words he just said to heart, and he still had that same innocent and carefree look.
***
In the following week, Ye Xinuo was kept busy every day, taking turns to talk to the senior management. He met with twenty or thirty people, both big and small, so much so that his voice was hoarse when he spoke.
That day, Ye Xinuo happened to bump into Tang Jie in the corridor.
The other person came over with a smile on his face, ‘Little Ye has really grown up. I heard that you called in all the company’s senior management for a chat?’
Ye Xinuo smiled sheepishly, ‘Uncle Tang, please don’t make fun of me. I’ve never been involved in company matters before. Everyone thinks I’m a pampered young lady and has no confidence in me. Apart from talking to them, I don’t really know any better ways.’
‘Xinuo, don’t push yourself too hard. Brother Sheng knows that you are working so hard, and his spirit in heaven will be pleased. Don’t exhaust yourself.‘
Ye Xinuo felt disgusted listening to Tang Jie’s hypocritical words of comfort, but she had to smile and say, “Thank you, Uncle Tang. In fact, I’m very good at being lazy.”
’Then I’ll go back to work.‘
’Goodbye, Uncle Tang.’
Ye Xinru’s gaze lingered on Tang Jie’s back for a long time, until Yu Qing appeared and interrupted her thoughts.
“I have contacted the industry leaders who used to have regular private calls with your father. Their secretaries seem to have discussed it together, and the reason they all gave was that their boss was on a business trip and they didn’t know when he would be back.’
Ye Xinru smiled lightly: ‘That’s normal. In their eyes, I’m just a greenhorn, so how could I possibly run a group as big as Ye Sheng’s? If it weren’t for the respect my father commanded while he was alive, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even bother making up an excuse.’
Then she winked mischievously, ‘I’ll go and confront them myself in a few days.’
Yu Qing patted Ye Xinru’s head, ‘Our young mistress is really something, she’s getting more and more like the way Master was before he died.’
‘I say, Yu Qing, when are you going to stop calling me ‘Miss’? It doesn’t sound like the silly daughter of a feudal landlord, or the top actress in Shanghai nightlife.‘ Ye Xinuo shook her head to get the hand off her head.
’My mother always called me that, and I’ve got used to it.’ Yu Qing thought for a moment, ’So what do you want me to call you, boss? Chairman? Overbearing CEO?’
