He asked in a serious manner.

Dongfang Liuyun, on the other hand, laughed out loud. There was still a faint glint in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched her chin before saying with amusement—

“I think that you’ve become much more handsome recently.”

“Is that so? Did I lose weight and become more handsome? I’ve lost weight recently.”

Anyone would like getting praised for their good looks by the person they liked, Second Master Qi was no exception.

“For men, I’d feel safer when you have more meat, eat more.”

Dongfang Liuyun felt warm in her heart when she saw the curvature of his mouth increase. For a moment, he felt the same way. As long as he was happy, she would do anything for him.

...

Qi Lei was right. The next morning, after the Dongfang Group’s Vice Presidents went to see Dongfang Shuman at home, everyone agreed to let Dongfang Liuyun take over the position of Lin Yuanyuan.

Of course, before that, Dongfang Shuman had prepared a few candidates. Dongfang Liuyun’s name was not on the list either. After that, one of the Vice Presidents suggested it. Unexpectedly, everyone agreed to it.

On this point, Dongfang Shuman seemed to be very surprised.

In the huge study room, Dongfang Shuman sat in front of the desk. The Vice Presidents, including Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi, stood in a row in front of the desk and looked at Dongfang Shuman, who was sitting in a chair and flipping through the documents in his hands.

“Instruct the HR department to let Dongfang Liuyun take over Manager Lin’s position. Vice President Ren, remember to ask Manager Lin to complete the handover. Do you understand?”

Dongfang Shuman took her pen slowly and signed the document. Then, she closed the folder and handed it to Dongfang Yi as she spoke.

Dongfang Ren hurriedly nodded and swept his gaze over Dongfang Yi who had stepped forward to receive the document. His gaze was naturally a little cold. Dongfang Yi, on the other hand, looked at him for no reason. The tension between the two brothers was very strong.

Dongfang Shuman naturally saw this scene. Her eyes flickered with some sharp light, and an old voice was heard—

“I hope that all of you will remember the family’s objective at all times. Currently, there are quite a number of people who are eyeing the Dongfang Group covetously. I do not wish for the Dongfang Group’s future problems to come from within. All of you should know what the family’s greatest taboo is. Alright, there’s no point in talking anymore, just pay more attention, or I will have to play by the rules.” Dongfang Shuman said indifferently.

“Yes, President Shu, we understand!”

“All of you can leave.”

Dongfang Shuman waved her hand dispiritedly.

“Yes, President Shu!”

It was as if they had received an order. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief and leave.

‘Bang!’

The sound of the door closing could be heard. Ah Cai also turned her head to look at Dongfang Shuman. She saw that Dongfang Shuman was leaning against the chair. She raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. There was a sickly fatigue on his aged face.

“President Shu, do you want to take a rest? You look terrible, is it...” Ah Cai said with concern.

“I’m fine.”

Dongfang Shuman took a deep breath and reached out to take the tea on the table. She took two sips.

“President Shu, I feel that this matter is a little...”

“You also think that this matter is a little too logical, right?”

Before Ah Cai finished her sentence, Dongfang Shuman glanced at her and continued.

Ah Cai nodded, “President Shu, actually, I don’t know. I just think that something isn’t right. But after thinking carefully, it doesn’t seem to be anything. How did President Yi have evidence on Manager Lin? Also, on the Lin Corporation’s side, I heard that someone has indeed bought most of the shares from the Lin Corporation, in order to fill in the debt for Lin Yonghua. We still don’t know anything about the situation on the casino’s side. Dongfang Yu’s side did indeed encourage Lin Yonghua back then.”

“I’m now suspecting whether President Yi has some kind of deal with the casino. Otherwise, why would President Yi...”

“Have you found out who bought the shares of the Lin Corporation?” Dongfang Shuman asked.

“Not yet. What we’ve found are all unfamiliar names. We can’t find the person behind this, and we can’t find any connection between that person and the casino. All the information is very clean.” Ah Cai said with a frown.

“The cleaner it is, the deeper the skill. We still don’t know who the other party is. My intuition tells me that they aren’t targeting the Dongfang Group. Let’s put this matter aside for now and see what happens next.”

Dongfang Shuman thought for a moment and said this.

“Yes, President Shu! Oh right, about Mr. Qi Lei and the Fourth Lady, should we...” Ah Cai asked tentatively.

“I’ll meet with Qi Lei in the next two days. I said that all of this will be discussed after I meet with him. Also, we must keep this matter a secret. The matter between the two of them is no longer a secret and will attract a lot of attention. Moreover, our attitude towards this matter is also very important.”

“President Shu, but President Gan and Lawyer Song seem to have accepted it. Also, with the Fourth Lady’s attitude, I’m afraid we’ll have to compromise on this matter. What should we do about the Fujiwara family?” Ah Cai asked hesitantly.

“Qi Lei’s move really caught me off guard. In addition, he directly gave Liuyun those things. If we have any dissatisfaction now, public opinion will definitely point to our side. We have to consider this matter carefully.”

Dongfang Shuman also took a breath and said with a frown.

“Then, President Shu, if we just let the Fourth Lady take over Manager Lin’s position, will it...”

“Lin Yuanyuan isn’t a smart person. In terms of strategy, she’s far worse than Dongfang Yi. Right now, her anger is directed at Dongfang Yi, so she can’t care too much. Ah Gan owes me a favor this time. After all these years, I still want to see if he still has a mother in his eyes!”

As Dongfang Shuman spoke, her eyes darkened.

“President Shu, you and President Gan will get better. hasn’t President Gan respected you all these years? In the early years, he didn’t want everyone to quarrel. All these years, your relationship with Lawyer Song has been very tense. President Gan didn’t defend anyone. This shows that President Gan still cares about you. And now, although the Fourth Lady is not very close to you, her relationship with Lawyer Song is just like that. Instead, President Gan does have a good relationship with his daughter. I think this is also because of President Gan’s good guidance...”

“You don’t have to cherry pick the nice things to tell me. I know my own son better than anyone else. As long as the matter between Song Siting and I stays at a stalemate, the balance in his heart would not tip towards my side. He is a classic case of forgetting his mother when he has a wife. I don’t blame him, I understand, after all, the person who will accompany him to the end would not be a terminally ill me.”
