Chapter 408: My pride doesn't need your protection!
Yang Guangyuan was startled and shrank back, muttering to himself, "That person left, and my aunt told me to fill in, which saves us the trouble of finding someone else."
"Get out of here!"
Yang Guangyuan looked to Yang Huirong for help, and Yang Huirong immediately protected him, saying, "Guangyuan, don't be afraid. Just sit there, that will be your seat from now on. You must help your cousin take good care of her business."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guangyuan said obsequiously, "Aunt, don't worry. Sui Sui and I are cousins, so her business is my business. I will definitely do my best."
After Yang Guangyuan finished speaking, he tried to sit back down.
Jiang Qianhui kicked the chair away, and Yang Guangyuan, caught off guard, fell to the ground with a thud, wincing in pain.
"Cousin, what are you doing? Why did you kick my chair away? Your cousin's butt is all raw and it hurts so much."
Jiang Qianhui said disdainfully, "Let me tell you clearly, you can't take my brother's position!"
Yang Guangyuan winced in pain. Yang Huirong said angrily, "Sui Sui, why are you so disobedient? I told you to make your cousin the company's vice president, why didn't you agree! Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Jiang Qianhui said firmly, "Mom, if you think my brother is not suitable to be the vice president and insist on making such an incompetent and immoral person the vice president, fine, I can listen to you and let him be the vice president."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guangyuan beamed with joy, completely forgetting the pain he had just experienced.
Yang Huirong was also very happy that her daughter had come to her senses.
Jiang Qianhui looked at their smug expressions and said, "Yang Guangyuan can be the vice president, but my brother must be the president. I will give my position to my brother. My brother absolutely cannot work under such a person!"
Jiang Qianhui's words were firm and resolute, without the slightest hint of joking.
Yang Huirong became anxious.
"Sui Sui, what nonsense are you talking about? You actually want to give up your CEO position to that illegitimate child? I think you've been bewitched."
"Mom, I already agreed to let this incompetent and immoral person be the vice president. What else do you want to blame me for? Having someone like this as the vice president is like a ticking time bomb. I don't have the ability to control him, so I have to let my brother keep him in check. Only my brother has the ability to ensure that even if there is trash in the group, the group will not be affected and will continue to operate normally."
Yang Huirong was so angry after hearing Jiang Qianhui's words that she almost vomited blood.
"Sui Sui, you actually want to give the position of president of JC Group to that illegitimate child! You're going to make me furious!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guangyuan realized that as long as he could become the vice president, he didn't care who the president was.
So he advised, "Aunt, you're not in good health, so please don't get angry. Don't worry, once I become the company's vice president, I will definitely keep an eye on that illegitimate child. You can rest assured."
Yang Huirong said angrily, "What are you talking about? Sui Sui is going to give up the president's position to that illegitimate child, how are you, as the vice president, going to keep an eye on her?"
Yang Guangyuan wanted to explain, but Jiang Qianhui coldly said, "Mom, can't you see what kind of person Yang Guangyuan is, with such an ugly attitude? As long as he can become the company's vice president, he doesn't care about your needs. Can't you see that? He only cares about himself."
"Cousin, how could you say that? Of course, I'm most concerned about Auntie. I'm just worried that she might get emotionally agitated, which could trigger her health problems. I heard from the doctor that Auntie can't handle emotional excitement, as it could lead to hemiplegia. Cousin, how could you be so unfilial and upset Auntie like that?"
At this moment, Yang Huirong pretended to have difficulty breathing and looked pale.
Yang Guangyuan said, "Cousin, look how upset you've made your aunt. Just agree to it, and I'll become the vice president of the company. I'll do my best to help you and take the company to the next level."
"My company doesn't need to go any higher; just throwing you off from here would be enough to kill you!"
Jiang Qianhui's eyes were cold, and the atmosphere was tense.
Yang Huirong pretended to be extremely anxious.
"Sui Sui, you're really trying to drive me crazy!"
Jiang Qianhui remained firm in her stance, determined not to let such a person take her brother's place.
But deep down, I was also very worried about her mother's health, and I was caught in a constant struggle.
Gu Xunjing stepped forward and said to Yang Huirong, "Auntie, your nephew is new to the company and has little experience. It seems he's not quite qualified to be the vice president. How about I take the position? What do you think?"
Jiang Che had already been dismissed, and Gu Xunjing proposed that he take the position of vice president, which Yang Huirong found difficult to refuse.
"Xunjing, you want to be the vice president? That's fine too. As long as you don't feel wronged."
"I'm just Sui Sui's male secretary now. Becoming a vice president is still a promotion, right, Sui Sui?"
Gu Xunjing glanced at Sui Sui playfully, trying to ease her anger.
Upon hearing this, Yang Guangyuan immediately became anxious.
"President Gu, you're my cousin's husband. How can you be her vice president? People will laugh at you if word gets out. How can a man work below a woman? A man should be above his woman; that's what makes a man!"
What Yang Guangyuan said was exactly what Yang Huirong had been worried about.
Before she could say anything, Gu Xunjing moved closer to Yang Guangyuan and said, "Who says men are born to be superior to women? I really don't know where your sense of superiority comes from, with a monthly salary of five thousand?"
Yang Guangyuan's face turned ugly, and he said awkwardly, "I was just trying to save face for you."
Gu Xunjing's eyes turned cold: "My pride is none of your business! Shut your mouth!"
Gu Xunjing turned to Yang Huirong and said, "Aunt Yang, I know you don't like Jiang Che. Now that Jiang Che has left the company, I think you have achieved your goal. There is no need to have a conflict with Sui Sui over an outsider."
Moreover, he's mediocre; being appointed vice president right after joining the company makes him impossible to command respect. If you absolutely must keep him, then let him start from the bottom. The vice president position is out of the question.
With Gu Xunjing's mediation, Yang Huirong agreed with Gu Xunjing's statement.
"Let him gain experience in the company first, just give him a position."
Seeing that he had lost his position as vice president, Yang Guangyuan quickly pulled Yang Huirong aside and said, "Auntie, you promised me that I would be the vice president, so why did you make me a lowly employee?"
"Xun Jing is right. You've just joined the company and are still inexperienced. You'll be a junior employee for now. If you perform well, Sui Sui will definitely promote you first. Can't you even be patient enough?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guangyuan figured that with his aunt protecting him, he would definitely be promoted soon. He didn't believe that Gu Xunjing would stay in the position of vice president of the company forever.
So he pretended to be obedient and said, "Auntie, I will do whatever you say. I have always listened to you the most since I was a child. I like you the most."
Jiang Qianhui felt utterly disgusted. In her previous life, after her family fell on hard times, how had he treated her and her mother? How could he still have the nerve to say such things? It was utterly repulsive.
