Chapter 482 An Assassination
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Yi Yunrui gently smiles. He strokes his wife’s hair, “Nothing important. It is about my brother and Weiwei. We don’t need to worry about that.”
It is about her elder brother-in-law and Weiwei…
Xia Ning rolls her eyes, wondering whether Weiwei complains to Yi Yuntian.
“Darling, I talked with Weiwei today. It seems that Weiwei doesn’t agree with my taking over as the director. Our brother cares so much about Weiwei. I am afraid that it may put you two brothers in conflict.” She heard the phone conversation just now and felt it is happening.
“Conflict? Well, conflicts are what make an active family. My brother meets his real rival this time. As his little brother, I should give him a favor.
Xia Ning blinks her eyes in confusion.
She doesn’t understand what Yi Yunrui is talking about.
“Sweetheart,” Yi Yunrui says gently, “these days, my brother may play some little tricks, you don’t need to show him any respect. Instead, you may go directly to fight back powerfully.”
Xia Ning feels shocked to hear his words!
What? Fight back against his brother? God. The Yi’s brothers are all-powerful men. How can she, a normal woman, fight back?
Yi Yunrui notices the confusion on his wife’s face. He raises his finger and says, “Keep one thing in your mind. The second thing my brother cares most is money.”
It is in the World Era Weekly the next day.
“Hum? Miss He doesn’t have time?” Xia Ning glances at the time. Isn’t the appointment set at three? They don’t tell Xia Ning that she is not available till now at half past two. The star is really busy. “So, the appointment at three… Oh? You will come instead? Good. Then, please come directly to the Director’s Office later.”
Xia Ning puts down the phone. She frowns. He Yuan is a young actress from an entertainment company, who becomes very popular recently. Xia Ning arranged the interview several times, but all her people failed to set the appointment with He Yuan. Under this circumstance, Xia Ning can’t but do it herself. However, she also has made three or four calls before setting the appointment. Who knows, there is only half an hour to go while He Yuan suddenly breaks the appointment and sends her agent to come instead for the interview.
With someone supporting behind, He Yuan seems to be very proud.
Xia Ning decides that she will wait to see what the agent will say.
At this time, someone knocks at the door and Jing Shu comes in, “Director, the general manager of Yi’s Multinational Group Mr. Li is outside. Do you have time to meet him?”
Yi’s Multinational Group… God! It is her eldest brother-in-law’s company!
“Yes. Please invite Mr. Li to come in.”
“OK.”
Soon, Jing Shu leads a man to come in. The man is in his thirties. He looks handsome and bright, wearing a fine suit.
Xia Ning looks at the man. She can’t help admiring him in her heart. He is in his thirties, even younger than her brother-in-law, while he has become the general manager of the company. He must be very talented.
“Director Xia, nice to meet you.” He bows politely.
Based on the ranking of positions, Xia Ning is a superior of General Manager Li. After all, she is a shareholder of Yi’s Multinational Group.
Besides, as the director, she is the boss of World Era Weekly. This position is also higher than that of General Manager Li. Thinking about this, Xia Ning smiles. She stands up and slightly holds out her hand, “General Manager Li, please have a seat.”
At this time, Jing Shu brings some steaming coffee to come in. She puts down a cup of it for Xia Ning and General Manager Li respectively and asks, “Director, do you need anything else?”
“No, thank you. You may go to work.”
The door is closed. Xia Ning takes up the coffee for a sip. She looks at the man in front of her.
The man doesn’t drink the coffee. He looks at her with his lips slightly pursed.
“What brings you here, General Manager Li?”
“Director Xia, you are a big shareholder of Yi’s Multinational Group and have cooperated with Yi’s Group in many aspects. However, I am here today to say something that you may not be happy to hear.”
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened. The words Yi Yunrui said pop up in her mind and she realizes that her eldest brother-in-law is playing some little tricks.
“What’s it? You may go ahead to tell me.”
General Manager Li nods. He passes the files in his hand to Xia Ning, “Director Xia, these are the projects you cooperate with Yi’s Multinational Group, including two high -class restaurants and some chain supermarkets. Unfortunately, Yi’s Multinational Group is short in manpower recently. So, we may need to withdraw the staff the president sent for management assistance in your company.”
Withdraw the managing staff?
That means Xia Ning has to do the management work by herself!
Shit. She has just taken over as the director of World Era Weekly. How can she spare any time to do other things?
“Are you going to withdraw all the managing staff at once?” Xia Ning realizes that her eldest brother is really giving a heartless shock to her.
“No. Our president said that he would give you ten days to make some preparation. Handover will be completed within ten days and then people from the Yi’s Group will leave.”
Xia Ning purses her lips. The mentioned companies were founded by Yi Yunrui and Yi Yuntian together. Yi Yuntian owns quite a lot of shares of them. However, management assistance is truly not included. As a matter of fact, withdrawing all the staff doesn’t seem unreasonable at all.
He can give them a favor to help them. But it is also totally reasonable for him to stop helping them.
As the saying goes, good payment always attracts brave people. After the withdrawal of Yi’s people, with high salaries, they may be able to find successors for many of the management positions within ten days. However, all the top management staff of the companies are from Yi’s Group. If they leave all of a sudden together, it simply means a total change of management, which must bring great impacts on the companies.
Or… Can she send some people from Junhao Group over there?
Thinking about this, Xia Ning unconsciously shakes her head. In fact, they are not in the same industry. People from Junhao Group can’t do anything helpful over there.
General Manager Li notices that Xia Ning shakes her head. He asks, “Director Xia, any problems?”
“Ten days is too short a time. Can you give me some more days?” Even if she manages to set the new management group, some more time will be needed for them to get familiar with the work.
It may take at least a week.
General Manager Li thinks for a while and responds, “Then, you may have five more days. Director Xia, this is the best Yi’s Group can offer. Please don’t waste the time. I hope you understand.”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. Seemingly, her brother has set a limit of time in advance.
“Director Xia, the president specially instructed that he would be out for business abroad these days. If you had any problems, you might contact me for negotiation.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning mildly sniggers. Does it matter that he is abroad? There is a contact method called cell phone. If she wants to talk with him, she may directly call him.
The reason for Yi Yuntian’s instruction is obvious: he doesn’t want to talk with Xia Ning.
As Yi Yunrui said, their eldest brother has met his real rival and he can’t but choose to do something “unwillingly”.
“I see. I will contact you directly.”
“Good.” General Manager says. He stands up and bows to Xia Ning, “I have other things to deal with in the company. Director Xia, I may leave now.”
Then, not waiting for Xia Ning to respond, General Manager turns to walk to the door.
Xia Ning takes the files from General Manager Li in her hand. She frowns. Her eldest brother-in-law really brings a hard task to her this time.
“If my brother plays any little tricks, you don’t need to show him any respect. Instead, you may fight back powerfully.”
Fight back… with what?
Money!
Suddenly, the word Money pops up in her brain. Xia Ning suddenly has an idea. Her eyes brighten.
She opens the files to read. When she reads something on a page, Xia Ning slightly lifts her lips.
Yes. She will fight back with money and it will work.
Someone knocks at the door and Jing Shu comes in. She says, “Director Xia, Miss He Yuan’s agent is here.”
Xia Ning puts down the file and stands up at once. The woman is tall. She wears a beautiful hat, which hides her face behind.
Xia Ning looks at her dressing and unconsciously feels confused.
“Hi, I am the director of World Era Weekly. My surname is Xia. Are you Agent Sun?”
The woman nods. He holds out her hand and shakes hands with Xia Ning. Then, she sits down in front of Xia Ning.
Xia Ning feels more confused. She winks at Jing Shu. Jing Shu understands. She takes up the coffee and turns to leave.
Agent Sun puts her handbag aside. She sits there in silence.
Xia Ning takes up the coffee for a sip. She doesn’t understand what this Agent Sun wants to do.
“Miss Sun, well,” Xia Ning puts down the coffee and puts on a polite smile, “World Era Weekly wants to have an interview with Miss He. When will Miss He be available?”
Agent Sun slightly lifts her head, “She may not have time recently.”
Agent Sun briefly responds and doesn’t speak anything else. Xia Ning feels more and more confused. She notices that Agent Sun seems to control her voice.
At this time, Jing Shu brings a cup of coffee. She puts the coffee in front of Agent Sun and says in a slow voice, “Miss Sun, please have some coffee. It is specially prepared for Director Xia by her husband. Director Xia likes cappuccino best. You may taste it.”
Agent Sun slightly turns her head away, “Thank you.”
Jing Shu stands behind Agent Sun. She doesn’t leave.
Xia Ning notices that. Unconsciously, she feels something wrong. At this time, her phone rings.
It is a message from Yi Yunrui.
“Excuse me.” Xia Ning says. She takes up the phone. When she reads the message, she turns pale.
“Director Xia, General Manager An of Junhao Group is waiting outside. He wants to meet you. But you have a visitor here. How should I respond to him?”
Xia Ning’s eyes gleam. She smiles at Agent Sun, “Miss Sun, excuse me. I have to leave for a while. Please wait for me here for a moment.”
Then, Xia Ning turns around and wants to leave her office.
“Xia Ning!”
Suddenly, Agent Sun cries loudly and stands up with a pistol in her hand. She points the pistol at Xia Ning, “You are not going anywhere. You are going to die here today!”
Then, Agent Sun presses the trigger.
“Bang!”
The bullet flies out and two women fall to the ground. Xia Ning and Jing Shu fall to the ground.
The bullet makes a thunk as it hits the door. It misses its target. Agent Sun widens her eyes and turns the muzzle at Xia Ning on the ground again.
At this time, Jing Shu turns and lowers her body to kick at Agent Sun at her leg. Agent Sun cries. She raises her hand and the bullet flies to the roof. Agent Sun herself falls directly to the ground.
Jing Shu seizes the opportunity to go forward. She kicks at Agent Sun’s hand which is holding the pistol. Agent Sun feels painful and lets go of the pistol.
Then immediately, Jing Shu goes to pick up the pistol and says to Xia Ning, “Sister Xia, hide behind me!”
