Chapter 192 Jiang He Resigns
Hangcheng.
Qianqiu Group Headquarters.
"Chairman, are you okay?"
Ding Ling looked at the woman smoking silently in front of her and asked carefully.
Bai Zixuan took a deep breath and exhaled the thick smoke. She didn't say anything, but just waved her hand gently.
"If you need anything, just call me!"
Ding Ling said with some concern, then slowly left the office and closed the door.
She had never seen the chairman smoking before, but today was the first time she saw him. However, everyone knew that the situation of Qianqiu Group was getting worse and worse.
Bai Zixuan, or Yin Yue, was in a very bad mood.
A few days ago, she and Jiang He had an argument, and Jiang He revealed that her identity was questionable. She went to the hospital to visit Jiang He again at night, but Jiang He had already requested to be discharged and disappeared.
The next morning, the board of directors received Jiang He's resignation letter.
The report stated that "in view of various reasons, including my inability to meet the requirements of the general manager's job, I have submitted my resignation to the company after careful consideration." The content of the resignation report talked about his own contributions, especially the successful listing of the group, and he said that he "devoted all his energy and efforts to the company until his death."
Jiang He's resignation was one thing, but what was even more surprising to outsiders was that more than 40 middle-level managers and key personnel left afterwards, many of whom were said to be cadres cultivated by the group over the years.
News posts and videos related to Qianqiu Group soon appeared on the Internet, such as "Old companies have lost the support of the people, and new forces have easily surpassed them", "Chairman is a dictator, and the general manager is forced to resign", "Family companies are in a state of dire straits, where should they go?" and so on. The news posts and online anchors were very convincing, pointing the finger at Bai Zixuan and the company, and sparing no effort to criticize them. The backbone of the company's publicity and public relations was in a panic because many people left. Bai Zixuan was busy these days and exhausted.
After smoking a cigarette, Bai Zixuan's spirit did not improve, but her mind became even more dizzy.
She leaned back in the chair and fell asleep.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er——"
A familiar and urgent voice called her over and over again.
She opened her eyes suddenly and found herself next to the bed.
A pale old woman was lying on the hospital bed, with a rice-sized beauty spot on her right cheek. She was Bai Zixuan's mother, Guo Xueer.
Guo Xueer's dead wood-like hand tightly grasped Bai Zixuan's hand. Bai Zixuan choked up and said, "Mom, you're okay. You'll be fine!"
"Ahem, silly child!" Guo Xueer forced a smile and said, "I know my illness very well."
"I saw your dad these few days," she murmured. "He was still wearing a wool hat, a green military coat, and a wool scarf around his neck. I remember he spent a month's salary to buy this just to see me, cough cough cough."
"I know, this is what you looked like when you first met. I, I've seen your group photo in the album." Bai Zixuan said with tears in her eyes, "Mom, please don't say any more. Have a good rest! Everything will be fine!"
"No, it will be too late if you don't say it now!" Guo Xueer shook her head.
"Your father and I have worked hard for most of our lives. Now that I think about it, it's all worth it! If there's any regret, it's that I didn't see you get married, have a family, and have children... cough cough cough!"
"Mom, please stop talking! You will be fine. It's not too late, it must be too late!" Bai Zixuan burst into tears.
"Xuan'er, we asked you to take over the swing business. It's really difficult for you." Guo Xue'er looked at Bai Zixuan gently and said to herself, "Ahem, your father and I have discussed this. This will be considered your dowry."
Guo Xueer raised her hand vigorously, touched Bai Zixuan's face, and smiled: "We Xuan'er can decide our own affairs. From now on, you can be with whoever you like, and you can marry whoever you want. If you want, you can also take him home, which is also very good! Tell me, do you...do you like it?"
Bai Zixuan's tears rolled down, and she no longer cared about whether she liked him or not.
"Cough cough cough... cough... cough cough..." After Guo Xueer said this, she couldn't help but cough violently.
She looked at her daughter quietly, her face full of love and reluctance. A blush appeared on her face, a sign of the last rays of life.
"Listen to mom!" She whispered, "Dad and mom are gone, you...you must take good care of yourself..."
"Mom, I promise you, I promise you everything—"
"well……"
Guo Xueer's hands had loosened, and she slowly closed her eyes, with a smile still on her lips.
"Mom, mom, you can't die, you can't die," Bai Zixuan's heart was shocked. She threw herself on her and burst into tears.
……
"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a sudden knock on the door.
"mom!"
Bai Zixuan woke up with a start, as if it was all a dream.
She wiped the tears from her face, tidied her appearance, and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"
Ding Ling pushed the door open and said softly, "Chairman, your uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt and others are here!"
"My uncles? Why are they here?" Bai Zixuan asked in surprise.
"I don't know. They said they wanted to see you!" Ding Ling said, "I said you were in a meeting and it wouldn't be too late to discuss anything when you got back. But they refused and have been waiting outside for half an hour."
"They usually don't come to the company. Maybe there's something important going on." Bai Zixuan perked up and forced a smile, "Let them in!"
"Okay, then I'll invite them in now!" Ding Ling nodded.
Ding Ling walked out of the office and nodded to the person waiting outside. Not long after, the person came in with a dozen people.
Bai Zixuan was quite surprised to see them file in. In addition to her uncles, aunts, and uncles, even her cousins came.
Bai Zixuan's office was relatively large, but with so many people coming at once, it was not spacious enough. Bai Zixuan asked them to sit on the sofa, but since there were not enough seats, she asked Ding Ling to bring in chairs.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Bai Zixuan asked with a smile: "Uncle, what important things do you have here today?"
Sitting in the front was Bai Zixuan's uncle Bai Li. He looked around at everyone and said, "Indeed, there is an extremely important matter that needs to be discussed with you. They are here mainly to be witnesses!"
"Oh, what's the hurry? Can't you wait until I get home to talk?" Bai Zixuan asked, "There's only a cup of rough tea in the office, and nothing to treat you!"
"Don't be polite, my dear niece. It's important to do your job!" said uncle Bai Feng, and looked at Bai Li.
"Okay! Behind closed doors, we are a family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. So I'll just speak my mind!"
Bai Li coughed lightly and continued, "I have discussed with your uncle and others... and want you to... transfer your shares to us!"
"What did you say?"
Bai Zixuan was shocked when she heard this and stood up suddenly.
