Less than half a year after Lin Junnan and Cheng Yiyi got married, Cheng Weimin died.

Zhou Keming led other shareholders of Ningxing Group to hold a grand funeral for Cheng Weimin. The main leaders of the Ningjiang Municipal Government, the heads of various administrative departments, and important figures from the business and financial circles came to bid farewell to Cheng Weimin.

After the funeral, before Yiyi was relieved from the pain of losing her father, the internal strife of the Ningxing Group broke out, which made her unexpected and difficult to resist.

Ning Xing's lawyer announced the will: Cheng Weimin voluntarily transferred 20% of the shares in his name to Zhou Keming free of charge, and the rest was inherited by his daughter Cheng Yiyi.

After receiving the equity donated by Cheng Weimin, Zhou Jiantao saw that he had a greater say in Ningxing Group. He persuaded his father to go back to Hangzhou, claiming that the affairs of the Ningxing Group could be handled by him. Zhou Keming reluctantly agreed to stay in Jiujiang because of his relationship with Cheng Weimin, and when he saw his son insisting like this, he hastily said goodbye to Yiyi, said some comforting words, and really went back to Hangzhou.

After Zhou Keming left, Zhou Jiantao began to have frequent private meetings with several shareholders of Ningxing, and urged them to jointly challenge Yiyi, proposing to convene a shareholders' meeting and re-elect the chairman and president of Ningxing Group.

Yiyi could not avoid the shareholders' proposals, and the vacancies in the positions of chairman and president due to the death of his father must also be replaced. Since she is still the largest shareholder of Ningxing Group, everyone still agrees that she will succeed her as chairman, but at the same time requires another mature and experienced person to be elected as the president of the group. Obviously, they thought Yiyi was too young.

What Ling Yiyi did not expect was that at the shareholders' meeting, before she could speak, someone immediately proposed to let Zhou Jiantao serve as the president, and this proposal was immediately approved by most of the shareholders attending the meeting.

Yiyi looked at everyone silently, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart. She didn't say anything right away.

Although Zhou Jiantao is her childhood partner, and the relationship between the two parents has always been very harmonious, she is very disgusted by Zhou Jiantao's current virtue. She didn't know if it was because Lin Junnan's appearance had changed her understanding of men, or if Zhou Jiantao's own shallowness and scoundrel had really been exposed now. In the face of the shareholders attending the meeting, Yiyi felt that his former aura had disappeared, and there was even a kind of compassion in the form of a single shadow. She didn't want to make easy concessions to this proposal - if she agreed to let Zhou Jiantao take over as the president of Ningxing Group, it would be tantamount to conspiring with the tiger.

"Uncles and uncles," Yi Yi said earnestly, "Ningxing Group has gone through more than ten years of ups and downs in its development today. I would like to thank all of you here for working together with my father to create a glorious foundation for Ningxing! It can be said that Ningxing's today is inseparable from the contributions made by all the elders here. Jiantao is my hair young, we grew up together, and he also takes good care of me......" She subconsciously looked at Zhou Jiantao, and saw that his face was very long, as if he deliberately didn't look at her, "I am also very grateful to him for this." However, as the legal heir of the founder of Ningxing, and as the controlling shareholder holding 55% of Ningxing's shares, I believe that I have the responsibility and ability to take on the future of Ningxing!

After speaking, Yiyi stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, and walked away quickly. The rest of the people sat at the conference table, looking at each other and bewildered.

As soon as Yiyi returned to her office, she received a call from Zhou Keming. Obviously, Zhou Keming is also paying attention to the change of affairs at Ningxing's top management. Yiyi tried her best to maintain restraint and told Zhou Keming her thoughts about the president candidate, hoping to get his understanding and support. However, Zhou Keming not only did not deny her views on the grounds that he did not know the situation in Ningjiang, but also repeatedly emphasized that she should listen to everyone's opinions, especially Jiantao's opinions.

"Yiyi, your father entrusted you and Ning Xing to me when he left, and he also gave me a part of the shares, just so that I could help you take care of Ning Xing! Now I have a lot of affairs here in Hangzhou, and I can't get away for a while, so I entrust Jian Tao to stay in Ningjiang to help you. What's wrong with letting Jiantao be the president?"

"Uncle Zhou, can you let me think about this matter again......" Yiyi had no choice but to avoid this topic first.

When he returned home, Lin Junnan saw that Yiyi was uncertain and asked her what had happened, so she poured out to him what happened at the shareholders' meeting, and said in a last breath: "Why is Zhou Jiantao?!" If it weren't for my father giving Uncle Zhou a part of the shares on the affection of his friends, how could he have the qualifications to speak Zhou Jiantao?!"

After listening to her story, Lin Junnan pondered for a long time, and said carefully: "Yiyi, if you want me to see, the shareholders' statements are not unreasonable. After all, you still look too tender in their eyes. Although you are now the controlling shareholder of Ning Xing, but forgive me for taking the liberty of it, if you want to take care of Ning Xing's overall business, you really can't do it! Of course, I am not optimistic about Zhou Jiantao, he is not a big thing at all - how to say it, just like a son, or even more like a 'demon king of the mixed world'. If Ning Xing is handed over to him, then I don't know what it will be! But the question now is, how can you gain the trust of other shareholders? If you just suppress everyone as a major shareholder, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to accept it!"

"Handsome man," he looked at him with a smile, "why don't you take over as this president?" I think you can do it!"

"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task. First, I have no experience in real estate or tourism hotel management, and I am not even as good as Zhou Jiantao in terms of business. Second," Lin Junnan paused for a moment and said, "In the eyes of others, I am your husband after all." If I were to be the president of the group, what would be the difference between doing it yourself and doing it yourself?"

"Then what do you think I should do? Today, everyone is almost on Zhou Jiantao's side, he has obviously colluded with them a long time ago!"

A wry smile flashed across the corner of Lin Junnan's mouth: "Actually, don't talk about other shareholders, I think even your own concept hasn't changed yet!"

"Huh?"

"You think that you are the major shareholder, and the company's management power must be controlled personally, in fact, this is exactly the common problem of your private enterprises, and this is usually an important bottleneck that restricts your development!

"......" Yiyi's heart throbbed, and she began to seriously think about Lin Junnan's suggestion - perhaps, this is the most reasonable solution.

"Rest early today!

Yiyi thought as she obediently walked upstairs to the bedroom. As soon as she stepped up the stairs, she seemed to wake up suddenly, and stood there looking at Lin Junnan for half a minute.

"What's wrong?" Lin Junnan was puzzled.

"Do you really dislike me, or do you have a problem with 'that'?" she asked, biting her lip.

"Oh......" he understood what she meant, and lowered his head and said, "I—I don't have that kind of thought yet......"

Yiyi walked back to the sofa, squatted down in front of Lin Junnan, and muttered: "We've been married for so long, you don't touch me at all! Even if you don't plan to be with me in the future, don't you even want a one-night stand?! You treat me like this, you don't know how inferior I am...... If you're really not interested in me, you should have told me sooner......" She sobbed on his lap as she crawled onto his knees.

Lin Junnan's heart beat violently. Gradually, an emotion that had been suppressed for a long time began to churn and swell in the bottom of his heart, rushing upwards to his brain. He caressed her back with trembling hands and said, "Yiyi, please don't misunderstand me. It's not that I don't like you, it's just that it's going so fast between us......" He helped her up, sat down on the couch, and stretched out his arms around her. "We have not really communicated what is in our hearts since we realized that we are now. I can only guess that you may like me, otherwise you wouldn't have asked your father to buy the land on the lakeside, and I was forced to give up my business and come to Ningxing. But you don't know how I feel about it. You've never asked me, and I don't know how to tell you......"

"Then can you tell me now?" Yiyi buried her head in Lin Junnan's arms.

"From the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by you!" Lin Junnan continued to caress her, "Every time you come to Yule Cafe, I want you to sit for a while." Even if you're just sitting there looking at your phone and not saying a word, it's a wonderful feeling for me...... Sometimes, I think about how to greet you and how to say a few more words to you when I see you again. You don't know how empty this kind of waiting is in my heart......"

"Since you like me in your heart, why haven't you told me all the time?"

"That's because there is still a gap between us! You are the daughter of a rich family, and I ...... I'm just a 'white-collar worker' who came here to work at your father's beneficional! I don't want to be seen as the position I got because of you, so I just want to do a good job. I didn't ...... until your father finally told me the truth Yiyi, do you know, in fact, I didn't want to come to Ning Xing. Ever since the failure in Shenzhen, I've been determined to rebuild my own company. It's just that I've spent all my parents' savings to open a coffee house. Your father bought the lot there and promised me a good treatment, what else can I do if I don't come to Ningxing? How can I reassure my parents However, when I learned that all this was because of you, the feeling I felt for you in my heart suddenly became so embarrassing and bitter......

"Anyway, in fact I really love you! And the reality is that we're already together! Even though it seems a little unfair to you, I've made up my mind to give you everything I have, don't you want to accept it?"

"......" Lin Junnan hugged Yiyi tightly and kissed her gently on the cheek.

She trembled and greeted his kisses, her hands clutching at him. He heard the sound of his shirt buttoning and falling on the floor......
