After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Liang Yusen looked at Li Jiawei and asked with a smile: "You don't understand why your father and I do this?"

Li Jiawei shook her head and said frankly: "I really don't understand."

Liang Yusen sighed helplessly and said slowly: "This matter has to start from more than ten years ago. At that time, the financial crisis broke out and all industries suffered heavy losses. Naturally, the Li Group was not spared.

To make matters worse, a project launched by the group at that time ended in complete loss due to wrong decisions.

In order to help the group out of its predicament, your grandmother, your father and I jointly made a decision to sell part of the group's shares to raise funds.

It was also from that time that the Li family's voice in the group began to weaken.

Some of those who took the opportunity to invest in the Li Group even took advantage of the situation, causing the group to be in turmoil for quite a while.

As soon as the group started to improve, your father wanted to kick those people out of the group and proposed to buy back their shares at a price higher than the market value.

However, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away, not to mention that they are not good gods.

They rejected your father's proposal to buy back the shares, and your father was unable to do anything about it. Thus, the two sides have been fighting for so many years. This is the root cause of the fierce internal struggle within the group."

Li Jiawei indeed knew nothing about the Li Group's past more than a decade ago.

After Liang Yusen finished explaining the whole story, he looked at Li Jiawei, who was lost in thought, and asked, "Now you understand why your father is not in a hurry to deal with those people, right?"

Li Jiawei nodded and replied, "I kind of understand. There's a term these days called 'overpraising to death.' You and your father are using that tactic on those people, right?"

"Overpraise!" Liang Yusen pondered the word over and over again. After a long while, he said, "That's right. Your word to describe the current situation is quite appropriate."

Li Jiawei then asked, "So there's no need to rush now. Then when will we take action to resolve these problems? After all, as long as those people are still around, the group's development will be greatly restricted."

Liang Yusen said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Your father and I have tolerated them for so many years. It won't hurt to tolerate them for a while longer."

Li Jiawei pondered for a moment and raised the last question in her mind: "Uncle Liang, wasn't the leak of the engine drawings also part of your and father's plan?"

Liang Yusen looked up at her: "Why do you think so?"

"Isn't it? Since you and your father know those people so well, it's impossible that you are completely defenseless against them in the newly developed project?" Li Jiawei analyzed.

Li Jiawei thought she would get a positive answer, but unexpectedly she saw Liang Yusen smiling and shaking his head: "You think your father and I are too powerful.

Besides, how could we possibly joke about such an important project of the group, let alone take risks with the group's future.

Your father and I did take precautions against them regarding the development of the new engine, but no matter how hard we tried, we never expected them to be so bold as to steal the design drawings."

Li Jiawei sighed helplessly, and said to Liang Yusen with some frustration: "Uncle Liang, was I too impulsive this time?"

Liang Yusen smiled and shook his head, saying, "This isn't impulsive. In fact, I quite admire your intolerant nature.

I would be disappointed if you knew that the group had financial problems but concealed them.

The fact that you are able to do what you are supposed to do shows that you have the future of the group in mind and know how to safeguard the group’s interests.”

Li Jiawei smiled bitterly and said, "Now in the group, apart from my secretary, I am really alone. Every day I can only look at old documents in the office."

After hearing her complain, Liang Yusen asked, "Isn't this good?"

Li Jiawei asked back: "Do you think this is good?"

Liang Yusen said earnestly, "Jiawei, you have to be patient. Getting more familiar with the company's various businesses now is also a kind of accumulation.

After all, you were parachuted in, so it will be difficult to convince the group immediately."

Having said that, Liang Yusen paused, looked up at Li Jiawei, and continued, "When the group has passed the transformation period and started to clean up other internal forces, if I recommend you to the board of directors to take the lead in this matter, would you dare to take it?"

Li Jiawei answered without hesitation: "Why wouldn't I dare to accept it?"

Liang Yusen reminded her, "Jiawei, you have to know that cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Some forces are difficult to deal with. What if they become desperate and do something extreme? What will you do?"

Li Jiawei said firmly: "Uncle Liang, I know that crises and opportunities always go hand in hand.

When I decided to join the Li Group, I was determined to fight hard.

Otherwise, wouldn't everything I do now be just helping others?

If I could take charge of this matter, it would be a good opportunity for me to develop my own network within the group.

Dad wants to hand over the group to my eldest brother, but I really don't think he's capable of handling the heavy responsibility of being chairman of the Li Group."

Liang Yusen looked Li Jiawei up and down for a long moment, then a smile suddenly broke out on his face. He said, "Jiawei, you've finally dared to face up to your own ambitions. I'm very pleased to see this change in you."

Li Jiawei looked at Liang Yusen and said sincerely, "Uncle Liang, thank you. I know you have always supported me, so I am telling you what is in my heart."

Liang Yusen nodded and said, "Since I have promoted you to the position of general manager of the group, I will naturally support everything you do."

After leaving Liang Yusen's house, Li Jiawei drove along the brightly lit road. Gazing at the night scene outside the car window, the cool wind blew, and Li Jiawei's heart gradually calmed down.

This time, Uncle Liang helped her resolve many of the confusions in her heart, and the gains were indeed considerable.

She realized that not all struggles can be accomplished overnight, and some plans require long-term planning.

Li Jiawei once again felt that when it came to planning certain things, there was still a big gap between her and Uncle Liang and her father Li Ronghua.

In the following days, Li Jiawei no longer mentioned the anti-corruption efforts within the group to her father Li Ronghua.

However, she never stopped collecting relevant evidence.

Moreover, she was extremely low-key in the group and rarely spoke or expressed her views even in high-level meetings.

The only thing Li Jiawei mentioned was that she hoped to improve the welfare benefits of employees.

The senior executives of the group saw that Li Jiawei had been in office for a long time and had rarely taken charge of the affairs. Now she had only made such a request. Although they knew that her move was suspected of buying people's hearts, it was difficult for those senior executives to refuse.

As a result, Li Jiawei's proposal was quickly approved by the board of directors, which can be regarded as the first fire started by Li Jiawei after taking office.
