Seeing Shang Jingchen return, she probably wished she could strangle him to death then and there.

Old Sir Shang cast a cold look at them, giving off a domineering aura.

"If the Shang Corporation can collapse so easily, it won’t be her fault, but the fault of you all who hold key positions in various departments. Even without us Shang family members, such a mature conglomerate should function smoothly with everyone in place. The issue lies with those individuals who seek to create disorder and climb to power."

The elders and higher-ups blushed abruptly and didn’t dare to speak again.

"Prepare all relevant documents immediately. I am planning to transfer the power." No one could influence Old Sir Shang’s decision, high-ranking officers only grudgingly left to prepare.

Initially, they thought that this internal conflict within the Shang family was an excellent opportunity, yet they didn’t expect that even in his frail state, Old Sir Shang would fearlessly and decisively appoint his granddaughter-in-law to power, thwarting their actions, and denying them any opportunity.

After they left, Ye Lu became anxious.

"Old Sir Shang, why did you do this? I truly have no experience; I can’t possibly handle this massive corporation."

Stop frightening her, she’s just an ordinary postgraduate student who has suddenly become the executive director of a large conglomerate, which is quite overwhelming.

Old Sir Shang closed his eyes, and after a long while, he began to speak, "I know, but it’s the only way to curb their ambitions now, deter them, and ensure they won’t act recklessly. The company operation isn’t in trouble, you don’t need to do anything. You just need to represent the Shang family in the company and maintain a stable morale."

Ye Lu reflected on this and realized she was right, what the Shang Corporation needed right now was a figurehead to prove that everything was alright.

Shang Jingchen would probably return in a few days, then she could step down.

She sighed with relief, she was also quite willing to help this poor old man in such a challenging time, she said, reinvigorated.

"These few days, I will try my best to help you, making regular appearances at the company. When Shang Jingchen returns, I will transfer the shares back to you, and you can remove me from my position then."

This way, Shang Jingchen wouldn’t hate her so much, everything would be back to normal.

Unexpectedly, Old Sir Shang shook his head, "You don’t need to transfer the shares back to me. You don’t need to step down from the executive director’s position either. I will find someone to help you understand the company’s affairs as soon as possible and teach you how to manage the business."

Ye Lu was completely shocked, her mind went blank, "Old Sir Shang, I don’t understand...."

She couldn’t understand his unexpected arrangement.

"I have thought a lot about it these few days, and decided after pondering for a while. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold on, it’s better to arrange everything as soon as possible to avoid scrambling at the last minute, enabling the wrong people to take advantage."

Old Sir Shang looked heavy, his eyes filled with helplessness and heartache.

Ye Lu was overtaken by sadness. Was Old Sir Shang planning for the worst?

"Sir, you will be okay. Once Shang Jingchen returns, he will take charge, and those people won’t succeed." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Ha, do you think I’m only on guard against the elders of the company? The one I truly have to protect against is that woman, Yuan Jiayin." Old Sir Shang dropped a shocking name.

Ye Lu was utterly astonished; Old Sir Shang was surprisingly cautious of Yuan Jiayin.

"Do you still not accept them? Even though Shang Jingchen has eloped with her and she’s carrying Shang Jingchen’s child."

"Xiao Ye, you once advised me to bless their love. I had hesitated. But what happened at the church made me see her ulterior motives clearly.
