C22 Forcing Him to Abdicate

"Okay, okay, okay. Dad is looking forward to you taking over the Jiang's as soon as possible. I still want to travel around the world," Jiang Zhenyu joked with a smile.

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Jiang Zhenyu excused himself and left her office, saying that he didn't want to affect her progress.

The smile on his face disappeared the moment he walked out of the door. He looked at the tears on his sleeve, shook his head lightly, and left with a sigh...

Jiang Xiaoyu sat there in a daze, thinking about the past. After a long while, she came back to her senses and said with a firm expression, "Dad, believe me, I will definitely bring the company back to life. I won't let that nightmare happen again!"

Ideals were full, but reality was harsh. Just as Jiang Xiaoyu was about to roll up her sleeves and cheer herself up, the human resources director came to visit in a hurry.

"Director Lin, what happened that made you so anxious?" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the expression on the fat Director Lin's face and her heart skipped a beat. She felt that something big had happened again, but she still tried her best to control her emotions.

Director Lin didn't have time to wait for her to catch her breath before saying, "No... Not good, many people have submitted their resignations today."

Jiang Xiaoyu felt as if her heart had been pinched by someone. It seemed like no one trusted her. In addition, the news of the rumors offending Shi Minghan and the various companies breaking their contracts had spread out as well, causing everyone to be extremely pessimistic about the company's future.

That must have been why everyone was resigning, trying to find a job before New Year's so that they could find a permanent job.

She pinched her thigh in an effort to pull herself together. "It doesn't matter, Director Lin."

Jiang Xiaoyu pretended to be calm, but she was actually panicking inside. Right now, the company's business volume was only so much, and the staff was already a little redundant. Resigning would reduce the burden relatively.

The point was, she didn't have a lot of new contracts ahead of her, and she felt like she was in a swamp.

After Director Lin left, Jiang Xiaoyu felt that it was better to have a meeting. She couldn't let this kind of pessimism spread. The more people involved, the more damage it would cause.

"Sister Chen, I'll have to trouble you to inform the shareholders and the higher-ups to have an impromptu meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon." Jiang Xiaoyu picked up the internal phone and made arrangements for her secretary.

Sister Chen was the secretary that Jiang Zhenyu had sent to her. She was someone that Jiang Zhenyu could trust. However, she was only more obedient to her father than to him, so Jiang Xiaoyu always politely called her Sister Chen instead of Secretary Chen.

Jiang Xiaoyu sat in her seat with a dark expression on her face. Her gaze swept across the people around her without any trace of politeness. The rumors must have something to do with one of them. She had clearly repeatedly instructed them to keep it a secret and not disturb the morale of the troops, but in the end, someone still did it on purpose.

She took a sip of water and cleared her throat. "As you all probably know this morning, the rumors about me and Shi Minghan are getting out of hand."

At this moment, someone interrupted her and said, "Xiaoyu, you have to know that a groundless rumor might not necessarily be groundless. Right now, everyone is spreading this news, and as time goes on, it will become a fact. If you guys really have no problems, all you have to do is get him to come to our company and show his face. However, you're just staying in your office and not going out. How can that be?"

This could be considered a more pertinent persuasion. Someone else said, "Jiang Xiaoyu, this is something that you did yourself, how can you blame it on us? If you can serve Shi Minghan well, why would you need us to cover up Tibet like this?"

"Yes, that's right. Wu is right."

Meng Zixin also stood up and said, "Xiaoyu, we are sisters. Logically speaking, I should support you, but I can't help but think about these people in the company. I think that if you resign and go home to rest and avoid the limelight, it won't be too late for you to come back after these rumors are over."

She kept saying that it was for Jiang Xiaoyu's own good, but Jiang Xiaoyu knew that if she really left her post at this time and went home to take refuge, others would only think that she was irresponsible.

When the time came, how could she still have a place when she wanted to come back? She couldn't just find a general manager to replace her, right? This wasn't the position of an aunt cleaning the bathroom.

"Meng Zixin, shut up! I can only say that it's not what you think it is, and that these people's resignation is instigated by someone behind the scenes. I'll put it here today, it's impossible for me, Jiang Xiaoyu, to resign.

I'll always stick to Jiang's. I don't care if you're on my side or not. If you want to stay, I thank you. If you want to resign, please do so quickly. Don't worry, I'll sign the agreement right away."

As soon as he had finished, one of the stockholders stood up and said, "Well, I'm going to announce my withdrawal now, and you can decide whether to take my share or transfer it to someone else. You know, your family doesn't have much stock."

The threatening words and the expectant looks on the faces of the shareholders were waiting to see how Jiang Xiaoyu would deal with this matter. Perhaps they would have a chance to get rid of all the bad debts in their hands as soon as possible. If they waited for the company to go bankrupt, they would be worth nothing.

Jiang Xiaoyu did not hesitate at all. At this time, she could not show any hesitation either, so she said straightforwardly, "Sure, as for the price of the share transfer, we'll discuss it another time. Anyone else who wants to quit, hurry up. After this village, there won't be another one."

Meng Zixin stood up and said, "Xiaoyu, how can you treat Uncle Liu like this? He was one of the elders who started the business with your father back then. If you do this, won't you disappoint others?

I think you've been under too much pressure recently, so it's not suitable for you to deal with the company's matters for the time being. It's better to let go of it first.

Perhaps it would be better to let Uncle Liu and the others handle it themselves. After all, the older the ginger, the more spicy it is."

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the hypocritical look of concern on Meng Zixin's face and couldn't help but secretly curse her for being a scheming bitch. On the surface, she seemed to be concerned about her, but in reality, she wished that she could hurry back home and stay there, so that Yang Qingze would have a chance to climb up. Presumably, the two of them had made a lot of deals in private.
