Grandpa Ji made his decision amidst the silence.
Everyone had to accept this arrangement.
After the meeting, Grandpa Ji waved for them to leave. He was still sitting in his original seat.
Of course, Ye Shengge didn’t leave either.
After everyone left, Ye Shengge finally breathed out. She then realized that her back was drenched in sweat.
Grandpa Ji looked at her and said, “Shengge, you surprised me.”
At first, Grandpa Ji had objected to Ye Shengge being the president, but Ye Shengge had convinced him and a portion of the shareholders.
The people on the board were all smart people, but Ye Shengge wasn’t afraid at all. She rebutted them one by one until they couldn’t say anything. His composure and courage wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve.
“Grandpa, you know I’m just bluffing.” Ye Shengge forced a smile. “I actually don’t know anything.”
She wasn’t as calm and at ease as she looked, but she gained courage every time she thought of Ji Shiting.
She couldn’t let him down.
“It’s alright. I can still handle it for a few more days. I’ll let Sun Ye follow you. Just ask him if there’s anything you don’t understand.” Grandpa Ji looked at her gently and pushed a few documents to her. “Sign it. If anything happens to Shiting… The company and these two kids will be in your hands in the future.”
Ye Shengge’s hands trembled. “No, there won’t be any ‘what if’!”
Grandpa Ji seemed to be telling her what to do after his death, which made her heart ache.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m just saying.” Grandpa Ji handed her the pen. “Sign it.”
Ye Shengge bit her lips, knowing that it was her responsibility and the trust that he had given her.
She suppressed her emotions, calmed herself down, opened the document in front of her and signed her name on it.
…
On the way back, Sun Ye was still the one driving, but Qiao Yanze was with him. He had been staying in Ji Shiting’s office while Ye Shengge and Grandpa Ji were attending the board meeting.
“I’ll try my best to suppress the news of Shiting’s disappearance,” Qiao Yanze said. “I can’t guarantee for the future, but no one will target T.S. Corporation in the short term. Rest assured.”
Ye Shengge nodded and said, “Thank you, Fourth Young Master.”
Qiao Yanze was silent for a while, then he sneered, “That bastard. I’ll beat him up when he comes back! He’s about to become a father. Why is he being a hero?”
He would either cut his losses and think of ways to satisfy Jing Zhiyuan, or he would continue to cause trouble like he had done to Xiao Ruilang. However, Ji Shiting refused to take either route. If Xiao Ruilang hadn’t completely offended him, he probably wouldn’t have used the Xiao Corporation as bait.
However, Qiao Yanze knew that both paths were like drinking poison to quench his thirst. Ji Shiting’s method was to get rid of it once and for all. Jing Zhiyuan’s method was too terrible this time, enough to make the highest leader feel threatened. Perhaps the corporations in Yang City would benefit from it.
He was just too angry. Even he couldn’t figure out what he was angry about.
Ye Shengge shook her head and said, “No, you can’t beat him up. My heart will ache.”
Qiao Yanze was rendered speechless. After a while, he smiled and said, “Okay, he’s lucky.”
