Rolling love

There was a sudden silence in the ward

A quiet room, with four people.

Xu Jinfu finally could not help but shout out in rage, “ What do you mean ?”

Xu Ziqing looked at the documents, spotted her signatures on them and her face paled.

Yanliang threw the remaining documents onto the bed.

She said, “She assigned the exclusive production lines of ‘Ya Yan’ to other brands, ‘Ya Yan’ was thrown to the generic factory production line . Now there are severe quality issues, so, she pressurised the complaints department not to report them . If today we had not met a customer allergic to the product at the counter, the company’s reputation sooner or later would have been completely finished.”

Xu Jinfu picked up the file and looked at each page. He was quiet for a long time. Xu Ziqing’s face was getting worse with every minute.Finally, Xu Jinfu reached the end of the file.”Zi Qing, give me a reasonable explanation. “

“Dad … …” Xu Ziqing mumbled.

Xu Jinfu swallowed his anger,suddenly he looked at Jiang Yu Nan and said: “Mr. Jiang, please take Yan Liang out of the room for some time .”

Yanliang looked incredulously at Xu Jinfu, noticed a contradictory light in her father’s eyes and then looked at Xi Ziqing who looked like a frightened mouse with her widened eyes.Yanliang faintly understood what was happening. With a mocking smile, she walked toward the ward door before Jiang Yu Nan could say anything.

As she pulled the door open, she paused for a moment. She decided not to hold back after all, and striving to maintain a calm tone, she said, “If I had done this, then wouldn’t you have directly sent me to jail?”

Xu Jinfu was surprised for a moment.

His daughter should not be looking like this – she should be irritable, arrogant,impulsive, yet someone who people would want to love dearly. But at this moment, he could see frustration , despair, a clear longing to be his favourite , but one doomed forever never to get that preference….

Yanliang walked out of the ward and went directly to the elevator. She didn’t want to stop for even a moment.

But at this time, a hand grabbed her decisively.

She did not have to turn around to see who grabbed her.

Yan Liang suddenly wanted to get rid of him, she was no longer willing to face his inevitable sarcastic comments at this point.”She is bound to emerge unscathed from all of this and yet you want me to stay.What do you want me to do here? Watch them play doting father and daughter? “

Jiang Yu Nan was unmoved, he neither refuted nor denied what she said,but just pulled her arm, his strength increasing marginally.

Yan Liang eventually compromised. She sat on a bench in the corridor, her head buried in her hands.

Jiang Yu Nan was admirably calm and objective. “Your weakness is that you’re impulsive, hers is that she is too greedy.If you complement each other, compared to the achievements of Xu Jinfu last year, you could easily achieve much more. But now you are each other’s biggest rivals. Forget co- operation, you are always duelling against each other.”

Yanliang silently sneered: “You do not seem to have any weaknesses. “

He generously admitted: “Naturally, I have weaknesses. “

“what?”

“you.”

Yanliang was shocked.

Was this some extremely refined form of a confession of love? But as she calmed down, she realised these words were more like a joke.

Yanliang could not help but laugh, she no longer thought about how sweet those words seemed to her at first.”I simply deigned to sleep with you once, this is the only thing we have between us, and I have actually become your weakness ? Should I be flattered , Mr Jiang?”

Jiang Yu Nan laughed with her, but his smile had a trace of fierceness. “I am now beginning to understand your father, no wonder your relationship with him is poor.Your mouth is razor sharp. You should be locked up and whipped to teach you how to be kind to people, how to control your temper. “

“I……”

Yanliang was still trying to defend herself when the ward door was opened.

Jiang Yu Nan and Yan Liang Looked behind. Xu Ziqing’s face was livid as she appeared at the door. She looked up at them, then dodged eye contact, only nodded in an embarrassed manner at Jiang Yu Nan as she passed them and soon disappeared.

Jiang Yu Nan had been watching coldly. Now he looked at at Yan Liang, said: “Go in.”

“No way. He’ll just bully me.”

By now, Jiang Yu Nan had understood the essence of how to deal with this woman. He would not argue with her, because her razor sharp mouth would only flay him, rather he just physically pulled her up and started walking towards the room..

She struggled fruitlessly, but was forced to go into the room.

( Miumiu: I never like it when men use their strength to win an argument….)

Xu Jinfu was still sitting on the bed, but he was no longer angry, rather he appeared to be thoughtful and indifferent: “I will have a thorough investigation done about this,you do not have to intervene. “

Obviously this was aimed at Yan Liang, a warning hidden in the tone. Yan Liang snorted, looked at Jiang Yu Nan’s eyes as if to say ..see this is exactly what I expected.

The new product , ‘Secret’ , targeted for the North American market was to be tested on human skin and then would be officially put into production. At this critical moment, there were high-level personnel changes. Xu Ziqing voluntarily resigned from the product co-ordination manager position and was transferred to secretly set up a new department, which was solely responsible for the operation of this new product.

The company had invested a lot of capital in ‘Secret’. Although on the face of it, it looked like Xu Ziqing had been demoted, she had actually been transferred to the most challenging sector. The industry speculation was that this indicated Xu Jinfu was training Xu Ziqing as his successor

In contrast, Yan Liang paid the price for her impulsive actions. She was transferred to be in charge of all “Ya Yan,” related matters, and the company was keen to phase out this particular brand.

Yanliang had not returned to the mansion for a long time, but she still heard that when her mother was informed about the changes in personnel for the first time, she was furious.

Yanliang imagined her mother would argue about this in front of her father, thereby re starting the cycle of inter family war. Yanliang was already tired. But this time, when her mother called her, she was actually talking in a surprisingly calm tone: “Yan Liang, you don’t worry about taking over Ya-yan, I will pave the way for you.”

Her mother was neither troubled nor angry, Yanliang was really surprised this time.

A few days later there was a shareholders’ meeting and Yan Liang was informed to attend. She guessed that her father had wanted her to attend . When she entered the conference room and saw that, in addition to the major shareholders, Xu Ziqing was also present, she was assured that her conjecture was correct.

But until the beginning of the meeting, Xu Jinfu did not show up.

Xu Ziqing was sitting next to the main seat, she kept looking at her watch. When there were only 5 minutes left for the meeting to start, she asked the convenor of the shareholders meeting – Xu Jinfu’s chief secretary, Liu , “When will my father arrive?”

Secretary Liu had a strange, secretive expression on her face and hesitated to speak when the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Yanliang could not help but look to the door –

It was actually her mother.

Secretary Liu avoided the eyes of Xu Ziqing , who was surprised to see Yan Mu. As Yan Mu nodded , Ms Liu announced: “The meeting begins.”.

Yan Liang was no less in shock than Xu Ziqing , she was yet to come to terms with the fact that her mother had suddenly

appeared in the shareholders meeting. Yan Mu started : “I

beg your pardon, gentlemen, I asked Secretary Liu for the organisation of an immediate shareholders meeting. This is to allow me to formally explain a few things. I have, for

many years, not interfered in the matters of the company, and now I am suddenly intervening, I hope you can forgive me for this.”

Yan Liang had rarely seen her mother so icily arrogant.

Chen Shurong, the person who was always supporting her mother immediately piped in, “No need for apologies. Although, Mrs. Xu, you have not interfered with the company’s operations in a long time , but you have always been the company’s owner, you have every right to speak.”

“That’s right.” Yan Mu smiled, “whatever the

outcome, I have always been the legitimate owner of Xu.”

Yan Mu glanced at Xu Ziqing. Her eyes were flashing at that moment, but she immediately bowed her head to avoid anyone seeing her reaction.

Yan Mu’s gaze now swept across all the shareholders present in the room.”Gentlemen, please do not blame me. Xu Jinfu has relied on the Yan family’s network to build his company,

this is an indisputable fact. Although when my father was alive, he used to tell me that assistance granted in this manner should never be announced, still, one cannot , if acting with integrity, be ungrateful, can they ?”

With these words being said, the shareholders had a clear understanding of what was at the heart of this matter.

The shareholders all had a tacit understanding not to speak, they listened carefully as Yan Mu continued: “Xu Jinfu felt Yan Liang should take over ‘Ya Yan’- I am not opposing this decision. But ‘Ya Yan’ is the company’s original own brand. For the company to now phase out this product, take out it’s dedicated production lines, withdraw it from the counters – it’s like forcing out veterans like you here out of the company. To treat something of value like garbage – isn’t this killing the donkey when the grinding is done?*

*idiom meaning getting rid of something once it’s no longer required.

The shareholders silently nodded in agreement, and some even winked at each other. After this silent interaction between the shareholders, the spokesperson chimed in, “ Mrs. Xu, if there is anything we can do to help, then please say so. We must do whatever we can. “

Yan Mu smiled her thanks, then looked at Secretary Liu.

Secretary Liu immediately handed out a project book, Yan Mu explained: “ Such a good brand should be given due attention, this project book is something I had commissioned someone to develop on ‘Ya Yan’. This includes data on the analysis of the market and how we can reposition the brand. Yan Liang is still young, while she has taken over Ya Yan, I am not sure how much she will be able to achieve on her own. I hope the elders here will help her a lot.”

*** ***

The meeting room was in long silence …

Eventually, all the shareholders signed the letter of intent attached to the project.

Yan Mu got up from her seat with satisfaction and beckoned Yanliang silently to come over where she was sitting.

Yan Liang hesitated as she looked at her mother, all the doubts and admiration she had were hidden in the blink of an eye..

The mother and daughter duo left the conference room together .

Only when they came to the underground parking lot, Yan Mu took out her phone , which had been in mute earlier, from her bag.

There were a dozen missed calls

As soon as Yan Mu took out the phone, there was another call. She answered in front of her daughter.

Xu Jin fu had clearly heard what had occurred in the company, he shouted over the phone, “What do you know, a mere woman? This is simply nonsense!”

Yan Mu patted Yan Liang: “You go back to work.”

Xu JInfu’s voice was so loud, even Yanliang could hear him crystal clear.

She saw her mother holding the phone, but she was also uncharacteristically calm. Clenching her teeth, she ultimately decided to hold back, and saying nothing, walked towards the elevator.

Yan Mu stood alone in the parking lot waiting for her car, her face smiling, her eyes firmly on her daughter’s receding back.

“But I at least know, for my daughter, I can do anything . “
