Chapter 86: Xia Wanyuan became CEO Xia

“Wanyuan, the shares have already been transferred to you. When will the funds that Master Jun promised be transferred to your account?”

He signed the contract happily. As long as Xia Wanyuan’s funds were in place, he could gather his employees again and the Xia family’s company could be revived.

Xia Wanyuan sat at the table. “The funds have arrived.”

“That’s great! The company is finally saved. You should go back first. Thank you so much for this.” Father Xia put away the documents and prepared to go to his old office.

However, Xia Wanyuan spoke leisurely from behind him. “This is my company. Where do you want me to go?”

“What do you mean?” Father Xia turned around in shock and asked rather angrily.

“This is what I mean.” Xia Wanyuan waved the document in her hand and spoke calmly to Father Xia’s question.

“Wanyuan, you’ve never come into contact with the management of the company. It’s not easy for the company to come back to life. Leave it to Daddy.”

For some reason, Father Xia could see something unexpected in Xia Wanyuan’s clear eyes. He felt that this daughter of his was no longer under his control, so he softened his tone.

“I will naturally think of a way to manage it. If you’re willing to stay in the company, you can be a consultant. If there are any problems with the company, help take a look. If you’re unwilling, you can go home and accompany your delicate wife.” Xia Wanyuan glanced at Father Xia’s flushed face.

“Didn’t you hear that your son is about to be born? Stay at home and spend more time with Han Yuan.”

“You!!” Father Xia was furious. He pointed at Xia Wanyuan. “You planned this a long time ago. The Xia family is such a big company. If you don’t know anything, how can you manage it?! Are you going to let the Xia family lose to you?”

“Father, you must be joking. The company seems to have gone bankrupt under your hands.” Upon hearing Father Xia’s words, a trace of coldness flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. “Besides, I already have a candidate to manage the company.”

As Xia Wanyuan spoke, her gaze landed on the man in a suit at the office door.

“Shen Qian?!!” As a young entrepreneur who had risen rapidly in the country, Father Xia had a deep impression of Shen Qian. He was a very capable and ambitious young man.

Shen Qian originally had no intention of eavesdropping on other people’s conversation, but Father Xia’s voice was too loud and he was forced to eavesdrop on the drama of the father and daughter power struggles.

At this moment, the way Shen Qian looked at Xia Wanyuan changed. He originally thought that she was a rich second-generation heir who had no place to go and had bought a bankrupt company to play with. He didn’t expect her to be the bankrupt daughter of the Xia family.

The most important thing was that even though the Xia family was bankrupt, the beautiful heiress of the Xia family had enough money to steal her father’s shares.

“CEO Xia.” Shen Qian restrained the thoughts in his eyes and walked towards Xia Wanyuan, greeting her respectfully.

Hearing this form of address, Father Xia subconsciously prepared to respond, but he realized that Shen Qian was actually calling Xia Wanyuan. He choked on his words.

“En. This is the company’s evaluation report. Take it and come with me to the office.”

Xia Wanyuan tidied up the evaluation report that Jun Shiling had given her. Together with her own understanding, she summarized the information that Shen Qian had.

Shen Qian casually flipped through it and the look in his eyes became even more strange. The way he looked at Xia Wanyuan became even more strange.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Shen Qian had no intention of paying any attention to him, Father Xia left the company angrily.

“Just send someone from the investment department to cooperate with the Xia family.”

Xuan Sheng rested his legs on the office table and sat lazily. The pen in his hand was still signing.

“But the original CEO of the Xia family has transferred his shares today.” In recent days, Xuan Sheng had stopped showing his interest in Xia Wanyuan. The assistant hesitated for a long time before deciding to inform Xuan Sheng.

Xuan Sheng stopped writing and turned to his assistant, signaling him to continue. His assistant was not stupid enough to report the transfer of shares to him.

“The biggest shareholder of the Xia family now is Miss Xia Wanyuan.”

Xuan Sheng’s eyes flickered. “Oh?”

Chapter 87: Jun Shiling’s Little Canary

“Pfft.” Xuan Sheng laughed. Back then, when he was investigating Xia Wanyuan’s information, he had not taken it seriously. He did not expect that Xia Wanyuan was actually Xia Yuanqing’s daughter.

However, this canary was quite an ambitious canary. The Xia family was so big, could this little canary eat it?

“Ask the investment department to come back. I’ll go there myself.”

Xuan Sheng retracted his legs from the table and threw the documents on the table. He picked up his coat from the back of the chair and strode out. His assistant hurriedly followed him.

“I don’t have any requests for you. Just do whatever you want.” Xia Wanyuan called Shen Qian to her office and discussed the company’s plans with him.

Shen Qian had a lot of experience. He started from scratch and the company developed from a small studio to having close to a thousand employees. Shen Qian knew basically every job well.

This meant that he was a leader who was extremely close to the bottom. This was extremely valuable to the higher management of the company.

Xia Wanyuan admired Shen Qian greatly. This person was ambitious but not greedy. He was capable and had a good character. He was a rare talent.

If not for the coincidence that allowed Xia Wanyuan to bump into him in his most pathetic state, Xia Wanyuan would never have the confidence to make such a talent work for her willingly.

While chatting with Xia Wanyuan, Shen Qian kept refreshing his understanding of this woman in front of him.

Xia Wanyuan had a big picture view that many people her age did not have. It was as if she was born to be in power, and she had the confidence to control anything and everything.

After half an hour, Shen Qian was already extremely convinced of Xia Wanyuan.

“Thank you for saving me from prison, Chairman Xia. To me, you’re equivalent to giving me a new life. I will work hard for you.”

After the company went bankrupt, he did not want to implicate his brothers who had followed him since graduation. After giving everyone a generous severance fee, he asked them to leave.

His girlfriend, who he had loved for many years, was already pregnant with his child, but she had proposed to break up with him at this moment.

From a privileged person to a successful entrepreneur, there were countless flowers on the way.

However, when he reached the lowest point, it was this woman who reached out to him.

Xia Wanyuan had given him a lot of power and almost had no restrictions on him. This made him very touched.

“If your performance this year reaches the target, I will give you 10% of the company shares.”

“This?!” Shen Qian was someone who had been tempered in the business world and had never been shocked by Xia Wanyuan’s spending.

The Xia family’s business was not small. Taking into account the 10% shares, it was actually much more valuable than the company he had founded. In the ten years he had been in the business world, he had never met such a boss.

“Do your job well. You and this company will be together for glory and for destruction. I believe in you.” Xia Wanyuan smiled at Shen Qian trustfully.

10% shares was indeed a lot, but compared to a loyal and capable manager, it was nothing.

From Shen Qian’s firm and grateful gaze, Xia Wanyuan knew that the shares she had given were worth it.

“Alright, I’ll leave the company to you in the future. A partner will come over later, I’ll go with you to take a look.”

Just as Xia Wanyuan finished her sentence, a message came from the front desk saying that the partner had arrived at the meeting room.

Xuan Sheng sat in the meeting room, twirling the pen in his hand.

The door creaked open. Xuan Sheng looked up and met a pair of familiar eyes.

Shen Qian?

Xuan Sheng recognized Shen Qian. They were both newcomers in the business world and were familiar with each other. Although Xuan Sheng had never interacted with Shen Qian before, he knew that he was a very capable young man.

Shen Qian pushed open the door but did not enter directly. Instead, he stood at the door and welcomed the person behind him.

Touching that pair of familiar peach blossom eyes, Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

“Miss Xia, what a coincidence.” Xuan Sheng found it interesting again. He knew Shen Qian. He had always been arrogant and very capable. How could he be so respectful to Xia Wanyuan? Moreover, he could tell that Shen Qian’s respect came from the bottom of his heart.

“Mr. Xuan.” Xia Wanyuan’s clear voice fell into Xuan Sheng’s ears. Xuan Sheng’s heart itched. It had been a few days since he had seen this little canary, and he actually found it exceptionally pleasant to listen to.

“I heard that Miss Xia has become a major shareholder. Congratulations.”

“Mr. Xuan, you have good eyes and ears.”

Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, the corners of Xuan Sheng’s lips curled up, and his eyes were filled with smiles. This little canary actually mocked him.

Xia Wanyuan looked straight into Xuan Sheng’s eyes. Xuan Sheng looked uninhibited, but the depth hidden in his peach blossom-shaped eyes could not be underestimated.

Xia Wanyuan sat opposite him, her aura not at all inferior.

Today, Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a black windbreaker, making her look extremely cold. Her originally noble temperament was accentuated.

“I’m here today because of the development of the mountain resort.”

Xuan Sheng was caught off guard and started to negotiate.

At this moment, he stopped being cynical and started talking about the contract he had signed with Father Xia in the past. He had a meticulous mind and strong logic.

“I’ve already finished my request. If there’s no problem, we can renew the contract or I can withdraw my investment directly.”

Xuan Sheng looked at Shen Qian. Shen Qian had just taken over the company and didn’t know much about the Xia family’s situation. However, from what Xuan Sheng said just now, there wasn’t much of a problem.

“How should the subsequent arrangements be divided?” Xia Wanyuan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked.

Shen Qian didn’t know much about the project, but Jun Shiling had once told Xia Wanyuan about this important project, so Xia Wanyuan quickly followed Xuan Sheng’s train of thought and found the problem with the contract.

Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan in surprise. His plan could be said to be perfect. Even Shen Qian could not see the flaws in this plan, yet Xia Wanyuan could point them out.

“Miss Xia, what do you think?” Xuan Sheng sat up straight and faced Xia Wanyuan, beginning to listen to her opinion seriously.

]”Since neither party is willing to take over the subsequent arrangements, why don’t…”

Xia Wanyuan explained the plan in an orderly manner according to her train of thought. The more Xuan Sheng listened, the brighter his eyes became.

“Miss Xia is truly unexpected.” After Xia Wanyuan finished speaking, Xuan Sheng applauded humbly. “Let’s do as Miss Xia suggested. Let’s have a pleasant cooperation.”

Who would have thought that Xuan Sheng, who was initially planning to withdraw his investment, had become the first client the Xia family company had to welcome after restarting?

After the meeting and both parties had signed their names, Xia Wanyuan prepared to leave.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s perfect profile as she lowered her head, Xuan Sheng’s eyes were filled with interest.

“Miss Xia.”

Xia Wanyuan raised her head. Her almond-shaped eyes were moist and her aura was clear.

“Miss Xia, have you raised canaries before? Canaries are quite interesting.” There was a smile in Xuan Sheng’s peach blossom-shaped eyes and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “I like them very much.”

Chapter 88: Xia Wanyuan Sends Food to the Company

Xia Wanyuan looked at Xuan Sheng’s teasing gaze and recalled that Xuan Sheng had seen her and Jun Shiling together at the lecture previously.

With a thought, she understood who the canary Xuan Sheng was referring to.

“I couldn’t tell that you liked canaries. I thought that you should like lizards.” Xia Wanyuan’s tone turned cold. She looked straight at Xuan Sheng and gathered her aura. Xuan Sheng could feel the change in Xia Wanyuan almost instantly.

Before Xuan Sheng could speak further, Xia Wanyuan greeted Shen Qian and left, ignoring Xuan Sheng.

Xuan Sheng looked at Xia Wanyuan’s back in shock. He was stunned for a moment before asking his assistant, “What’s so special about lizards?”

The assistant hesitated and did not dare to speak.

“Lizards have long tongues,” Shen Qian said from the other side of the table. He added, “And they’re ugly.”

“Hahaha.” Who would have thought that Xuan Sheng would not be angry after hearing these words? Instead, there was a smile in his eyes.

After settling the Xia family’s matters, Xia Wanyuan felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from her heart. In the future, after she divorced Jun Shiling, she would not have to sleep on the streets anymore.

It was already time for lunch. The food in the manor was indeed delicious, but after eating for a long time, she always wanted to change her taste.

Xia Wanyuan thought of having lunch outside. Thinking of how Jun Shiling had helped her so much, she didn’t know how to thank him.

Seeing a pretty good restaurant, Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling.

“We’re almost done with the plan for the next quarter. There are still a few problems. One is…”

His phone suddenly rang in the office.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat and looked down to see if they had forgotten to silent their phones.

After confirming that it was not their phones, everyone looked up confidently. Their gazes darted around, wanting to know which unlucky person’s phone was ringing. They felt sorry for that unlucky person.

Then, everyone saw Jun Shiling take out his phone from his suit pocket and pressed the answer button.

Everyone stopped complaining in their hearts.

“Hey, um, okay. Come on. Let me know when you get there.”

The participants who appeared to be sitting up straight were actually looking at Jun Shiling from the corner of their eyes.

Then, everyone saw that the stern and cold big boss’s expression softened.

His tone was completely different from when he was lecturing us!!

It was a cold breeze to them, but it was a spring breeze when he talked on the phone.

Tsk, tsk. The Big Boss must be in a relationship. Everyone in the meeting room had lost interest in the meeting and was eavesdropping on the Big Boss’s gossip.

Eh, why was there no sound? Everyone secretly turned their heads and met a pair of deep eyes that were like a thousand-year-old cold lake.

Mm, this is the familiar boss!

It was so familiar that it was scary. Jun Shiling glanced at it and everyone hurriedly sat properly.

“Continue the topic,” Jun Shiling said.

“Okay…”

Half an hour later, Jun Shiling’s phone rang again just as the meeting ended.

Jun Shiling picked up the phone and walked out, leaving behind a room full of curious but afraid subordinates.

It was lunchtime and there were not many people in the office building. However, when Jun Shiling came out of the elevator, he still caused a commotion in the hall.

After all, as the person in charge of the Jun Corporation, only the higher management of the corporation had access to Jun Shiling.

They did not expect to see him twice in just half a month.

Some of the new interns already admired the person in charge of the Jun Corporation. When they saw Jun Shiling’s handsome face, their hearts swayed, and they naturally had some strange thoughts.

“Hello, President Jun, I’m a new employee. I’ve admired you since I first entered university. Can I have your autograph?”

The beautiful new employee had just graduated from university. She had light makeup on and had her hair tied up into a high ponytail, revealing a youthful face. At that moment, she was looking at Jun Shiling with admiration.

Jun Shiling’s footsteps were stopped, and his brows furrowed slightly.

“What’s your name?”

“CEO Jun, my name is Bai Ning.” The corners of Bai Ning’s lips curled up into an innocent smile.

The others in the hall looked at Bai Ning enviously. She was too lucky to have Master Jun remember her name. Perhaps she could even use this opportunity to build a relationship with Jun Shiling.

“You don’t have to come to work anymore.”

“CEO Jun?!” Bai Ning’s eyes widened. In school, no matter what happened, as long as she acted coquettishly, those boys would do it for her.

“Go to the HR department to settle the paperwork.” Master Jun didn’t want to talk to her anymore. He turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing a mask and hat at the entrance.

Bai Ning still wanted to say something to Jun Shiling, but the other employees beside her hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away, afraid that she would make Jun Shiling angry and cause everyone to suffer together with her.

“That young lady is quite pretty.” Xia Wanyuan had just entered when she saw Jun Shiling being stopped.

“I don’t even know that person,” Jun Shiling explained hurriedly.

Picking up the lunch box in Xia Wanyuan’s hand, Jun Shiling brought her upstairs.

“Isn’t it normal for you to be liked?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling with a smile. After all, no matter where he went, there would probably be a large number of people lining up to like such an outstanding man.

Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan’s expression seriously. Seeing that there was no hint of unhappiness in her eyes, but instead a hint of teasing, Jun Shiling’s expression turned cold.

Jun Shiling glanced at Xia Wanyuan coldly. Xia Wanyuan did not know why Jun Shiling their hearts swayed, and they naturally was suddenly angry.

Seeing the two of them disappear into the elevator, everyone gathered together.

“Wow!!!! That can’t be CEO Jun’s girlfriend, right?!!! The delusion of the world actually touched his heart? I’m crying.”

“I think she came here last time. I heard that CEO Jun was the one who sent her downstairs.”

“Really? CEO Jun’s face was so dark just now. If he was really in a relationship, how could he be so cold?”

When everyone heard this, they thought of Jun Shiling’s cold expression just now and felt that it made sense. They had never seen anyone in a relationship who could be so cold.

“Sigh, you people just don’t have a pair of gentle eyes,” the receptionist said quietly. “Although CEO Jun’s attitude is cold, haven’t you noticed that he has been walking side by side with that mysterious woman?”

“What do you mean?” Everyone was confused. They couldn’t understand Boss Jun’s high-level gentleness.

“CEO Jun is so tall. It’s obvious that he slowed down when he walked with a woman in high heels. If CEO Jun was really angry, he would have thrown her 800 meters away.”

When everyone heard that, it seemed to make sense. Could it be that the Jun Corporation was about to welcome its mistress?!

Chapter 89: Master Jun’s Girlfriend Is Lin Xuan?!

In the company building, other than the employees of the Jun Corporation, there were also some guests who came and went.

Jun Shiling’s appearance downstairs had caused a huge commotion. Other than gossiping about himself, the employees of the Jun Corporation would not spread rumors, in case they lost their jobs. It was not necessarily the case for outsiders. Some of them had secretly taken photos.

With Jun Shiling’s status and how popular he was on the Internet, the person who took the photos thought that he would definitely make a lot of money.

Hence, while Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan were eating, the trending topic of “Jun Shiling’s mysterious girlfriend” caused a stir on the Internet.

An anonymous sub-account sent a few photos. It was obvious that the person taking the photos was a little far from Jun Shiling. The quality of the photos was a little blurry, but it did not affect the long and slender bodies of the two people in the photos. They looked elegant.

Instead, because of the blurry quality of the painting, it added a hint of haziness. In the picture, Jun Shiling was dressed in a suit, and his fierce aura made people feel submissive from the bottom of their hearts, even through the photo.

The woman beside him was wrapped tightly, but one could still tell that she had an excellent figure and a clear temperament.

[ My heart is broken!!! AHHHH!!! Which little vixen stole my husband! ]

[ They actually look quite compatible. ]

[ F*ck!!! The world’s most eligible bachelor is gone just like that! ]

[ Even such a blurred painting can’t hide my husband’s handsomeness. Boohoo, I feel like crying when I think that such a handsome CEO belongs to someone else. ]

[ Wait for the powerful netizens to find out who this mysterious woman is. ]

[ None of you will believe me even if I tell you. This is actually the first time Jun Shiling has been involved in a scandal!!!! ]

[ Alright, you don’t have to remind me how good Jun Shiling is anymore. My heart is already broken. ]

At the same time, everyone was searching for the woman beside Jun Shiling.

Some started the same model of the shoes, while others compared it from the bodies. Even the bone type comparison was out.

In the end, it was a message from a marketing account that looked the most reliable.

The marketing account drew out the bag that the mysterious woman was carrying and placed a red carpet picture of the popular actress Lin Xuan attending the event the day before.

“This bag is a limited edition brand C that was released this year. There are less than ten of them worldwide. The day before Lin Xuan attended the event, she was carrying this latest limited edition bag. Therefore, it’s obvious who the woman beside Jun Shiling is.”

On Weibo, there was even a list of Lin Xuan’s height and build, and she professionally analyzed the resemblance between the mysterious woman and Lin Xuan.

[ Wow, a rich, beautiful celebrity and the wealthiest person in China. They look a little compatible. ]

[ Fans of Lin Xuan, stop bragging about the beauty of being rich! Hasn’t Lin Xuan been exposed for being a sugar baby for a long time? And you call her rich and beautiful? I’m dying of laughter. ]

[… If it was Lin Xuan, I wouldn’t be able to love CEO Jun anymore. ]

[ Looking at his figure, he really does look a little like him. Does Jun Shiling like to play internet celebrities too? ]

[ He’s the richest man in the country and he’s young and promising. It would be abnormal if he doesn’t play with women, right? How many rich men are clean? ]

Everyone was speculating about the woman beside Jun Shiling. At that moment, Lin Xuan, who was the most popular topic of discussion, posted on Weibo.

“It wasn’t easy for me to get this bag. Hehe, is it beautiful? It’s especially hard to buy. It’s the only one in China!”

The accompanying picture was a silvery-white custom-made bag. It looked the same as the one the woman beside Jun Shiling was carrying.

Chapter 90: Master Jun Can’t Hold On To The Princess’s Whining

[ What the f*ck? The main character is out? ]

[ Wow, is Xuanxuan really in a relationship with Master Jun!! That’s awesome! I hope they’ll be happy and together for a long time! ]

[ That’s too much drama, is it true? Would Jun Shiling like you? ]

[ The person in front, if Master Jun doesn’t fancy our Xuanxuan, why would he fancy you? Why don’t you look in the mirror and see what you look like? ]

Some passers-by clicked on Lin Xuan’s photo album and looked at it for a long time. They realized that they could not remember this beautiful woman’s face.

The shape of her face was like an assembly line. It was really hard to tell. A passerby casually wrote down a comment. “I don’t think Lin Xuan is that pretty. I think that Xia Wanyuan is much more beautiful than Lin Xuan. Young Master Jun doesn’t have good taste.”

At this moment, basically all those who liked Lin Xuan and those who did not gathered together to scold this passer-by on the hot topic list.

[ Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Putting Xia Wanyuan’s name together with Jun Shiling is an insult to Master Jun, alright? ]

[ Although I think Lin Xuan and Jun Shiling are worlds apart, Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are even more worlds apart, alright? ]

[ OP, don’t joke around. Can Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan be together? If Jun Shiling can look Xia Wanyuan in the eye, I’ll eat my phone live. ]

[ What kind of trash is Xia Wanyuan? Does she deserve to be compared to Xuanxuan? ]

Lin Xuan had posted this Weibo post under the orders of her team. However, because of this Weibo post, everyone had silently agreed that she and Jun Shiling were a couple.

It was similar to what the news online had said. Ever since Lin Xuan entered the entertainment industry, she had always been an amazing social butterfly.

She knew the wealthy families in Beijing very well, but she had never had the chance to enter the core wealthy families. She could only get a feel for them.

She did not expect that she would be tied to Jun Shiling this time. Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with excitement. Perhaps she could use this opportunity to make Jun Shiling remember her.

When the time came, she would make use of the fact that she had troubled Jun Shiling to apologize to him. Perhaps she could really see Jun Shiling.

Lin Xuan’s heart fluttered when she saw the fans calling her Madam Jun.

Despite the heated discussions online, the two people in Jun Shiling’s office were not affected at all.

Xia Wanyuan had just passed by a Sichuan restaurant. The food in the manor was light. Xia Wanyuan saw that the publicity photos at the entrance of the restaurant were pretty good, so she got the chauffeur to buy some.

Jun Shiling didn’t like spicy food, so Xia Wanyuan bought him some light dishes.

In front of him was a bowl of salivating chicken drenched in red oil and rabbit leg meat that the shop owner had strongly recommended.

Half of the chicken had already entered Xia Wanyuan’s stomach, and her face was covered in a thin layer of sweat from the spiciness. Her lips were also extremely red from the chili oil.

“Hiss.” The savory and spicy seasonings, together with the extremely fresh and tender chicken, were both numb and spicy in her stomach, but she could not help but pick them up one by one.

After taking a sip of the cold tea, Xia Wanyuan continued to reach for the plate with the chicken. However, Jun Shiling stopped her midway.

Xia Wanyuan looked at Jun Shiling in confusion.

“It’s too spicy. You don’t usually eat spicy food. Your stomach won’t be able to take it if you eat too much.” Jun Shiling looked at Xia Wanyuan disapprovingly. She had already eaten half of it and it was almost enough.

“I haven’t eaten spicy food in a long time. Can I eat a little more? Just a little.”

Xiao Bao always liked to speak softly to people he trusted. Having lived with Xiao Bao for a long time, Xia Wanyuan could not help but be influenced by him.
