“Madam.” Sun Ye walked over with a solemn expression. “Are you free now? The chairman wants you to come to the company with me if it’s convenient for you.”
Ye Shengge was dazed. Although she was confused, she nodded and said, “Of course.”
After getting into the car, she asked, “What happened?”
“The president hasn’t shown up for a long time, and the board of directors can’t sit still anymore. Some people think that the president is already… so they’re urging the chairman to give them a clear explanation now.” Sun Ye said with hatred. “There are a few old guys among the board of directors who want to promote their trusted subordinates… Dream on!”
Ye Shengge clenched her fists.
Ji Shiting had only been gone for a month. Was everything he had created about to be destroyed by someone else?
No, she wouldn’t allow it!
Besides, Shiting would come back sooner or later. She had to protect his efforts!
“What can I do?” Ye Shengge asked hoarsely.
“The president left a will before he left,” Sun Ye said. “You’ll inherit all his shares.”
Ye Shengge’s eyes widened. “He left a will!?!”
“Don’t misunderstand, Madam. The president is just being cautious,” Sun Ye said. “Besides, the president had drafted his will a long time ago, but he changed it before he left.”
“No, I can’t inherit his shares.” Ye Shengge’s voice was tense. “He’s still alive!”
If she wanted the will to take effect, she would have to announce Ji Shiting’s death… That was something she couldn’t accept.
“But only if you inherit the shares can you speak and vote during the board meeting…” Sun Ye sighed. “There hasn’t been any news of the president, and the company definitely needs a new president. Since it’s inevitable to appoint a new president, you can at least vote for someone you approve of…”
Ye Shengge bit her lips, and her eyelashes trembled. She looked sad.
She closed her eyes and suppressed her sadness.
‘No, this isn’t the time to be sad.’
She had always believed that Ji Shiting would return soon, but others weren’t like her. As time passed, their confidence would decrease. Someone had to bear everything Ji Shiting shouldered. Over the past few years, every step of T.S. Corporation’s development and expansion was done by Ji Shiting. If the executive president was replaced, Ji Shiting’s unfinished blueprint might be completely destroyed by his successor.
Thus, she had to pull herself together.
She took a deep breath and said, “I understand.”
…
Ye Shengge arrived at Ji Shiting’s office, but it was Grandpa Ji who was inside.
“You’re here?” Grandpa Ji put down the documents in his hand upon seeing her. “I shouldn’t have asked you to rush here, but this matter concerns your and the two kids’ interests.”
Grandpa Ji looked very tired, and his once energetic eyes were cloudy.
Ye Shengge suddenly realized that Grandpa Ji had really aged.
“Grandpa, I don’t want to announce Shiting’s death,” Ye Shengge said firmly. “I’ve checked on the way and found out that I can also inherit his shares by announcing that he’s missing.”
“In that case, you’ll have to return your shares to him when he comes back…”
“That’s great.” Ye Shengge smiled.
Grandpa Ji looked at her and nodded. “Okay, follow me.”
