not a decent stand-in

As soon as Uncle Kun finished speaking, a cheerful female voice sounded.

"Big cousin, big cousin, where are you?"

The young girl with long hair and white skirt ran into the door like a gust of wind, and threw herself into Xiang Yindong's arms involuntarily.

"Great, you're really okay!" The beautiful and delicate face was smiling like a flower, and it seemed to be dripping, "Do you know that this period of time has scared everyone, if something really happens to you , what can I do then!"

Xiang Yindong stretched out his hand to pat her on the back, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, am I fine?"

This eldest lady is his aunt's only daughter, named Lin Shanshan, who has been his little follower since childhood.

She was pampered and pampered since she was a child, innocent and innocent, good at everything, but loves to act like a baby.

"Shanshan!"

The person who came in behind Lin Shanshan was a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing, not tall, but with a calm face.

He frowned and reprimanded, "Yin Dong is not in good health yet, don't be so frizzy!"

This person is Lin Shanshan's father, Lin Jincheng, who is pushing a wheelchair in front of him, on which sits the second child of the Xiang family, Xiang Huailin.

Lin Shanshan stuck out her tongue at him, and then left from his arms.

Xiang Huailin was weak since she was a child, and she seldom went out in the past two years. Her handsome appearance was completely inherited from Xiang Yindong's deceased grandma, and she has always been Xiang Zhenghai's favorite.

Xiang Yindong stepped forward and gave her a hug, Xiang Huailin also patted his head, and said with a smile: "Just come back!"

Everyone exchanged greetings and went to the dining room to eat together. The scene was no different from the previous family gatherings.

However, the topic inevitably revolves around Xiang Yindong's encounter this time.

Xiang Yindong answered everyone's questions tirelessly, those stories, talking and talking, even he himself was about to believe it.

When the food was on the table, another person came in at the door.

The man took off his sunglasses and said with a heartless smile: "Yo, Xiaodong is still a big face, our house hasn't been this lively for a long time!"

Xiang Yindong looked up and couldn't help smiling.

The visitor was tall, handsome, and dressed in fancy clothes. He was the fourth son of the Xiang family, his younger uncle Xiang Huaiye.

As Xiang Zhenghai's old son, Xiang Huaiye was raised as a sweetheart since he was a child, and even in his 30s, he still looks like a middle-aged boy, doing nothing all day long.

Although his brother-in-law doesn't prostitute or gamble, he likes to toss around some stone antiques and donates all his money to cultural relic scammers.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is also a prodigal son.

But in Xiang Yindong's eyes, his uncle is definitely a fine man.

"Fourth brother, how did you become a little uncle? Yin Dong just came home, so he doesn't know how to care?"

Xiang Huaien was probably afraid that he would forget this character, so he spoke first.

Xiang Yindong also smiled and said: "Uncle came just in time, today I have your favorite hairy crab!"

Xiang Zhenghai said in a deep voice: "Sit down quickly, do you want everyone to wait for you alone?"

When the old man spoke, no one dared to interrupt.

Xiang Huaiye pursed his lips, sat back to his seat honestly, and wrinkled his eyebrows at Xiang Yindong.

A meal can be regarded as enjoyable, but how many undercurrents are surging in it, I am afraid that only everyone knows best.

The members of the Xiang family stayed in the mansion all afternoon, and they left after dinner.

Xiang Yindong sent Xiang Huai'en and his son outside the garden. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked for credit: "Boss Xiang, my performance today is pretty good, right?"

"Well..." Xiang Huai'en nodded, with a hint of admiration in his tone, "well done, you're smarter than I thought!"

Xiang Yindong chuckled: "Isn't it just pretending to be rich, I'm good at this!"

"He is not an ordinary rich man..."

Xiang Chenyu, who had never spoken much, glanced at him with disdain.

"Oh?" Xiang Yindong pretended to be surprised, and raised his eyebrows to look at him, "It's really so powerful, even the second young master, are you afraid of him?"

Xiang Chenyu showed displeasure, and snorted coldly: "Who is afraid of whom? It's just that watching you act so hard makes you as upset as seeing him!"

"That's really embarrassing for the second young master, I will continue to work hard!"

Xiang Chenyu rolled his eyes at him, and sat in the car angrily.

Before getting into the car, Xiang Huai'en warned with a serious face: "Remember, before doing anything, you must report to me. Don't be smart!"

"Of course, I don't understand anything..." Xiang Yindong nodded, as if he obeyed.

"Look for a chance to move out as soon as possible. Uncle Kun is in the mansion, so I don't feel at ease!"

"I see……"

After seeing off Xiang Huai'en and his son, Xiang Yindong turned and walked towards the villa.

Under the night, the garden was dark and lush, a gust of cool wind hit, and the crickets chirped one after another, bringing him a long-lost tranquility.

From a distance, he saw Uncle Kun standing at the bottom of the steps waiting for him.

Xiang Yindong walked over, showing surprise: "Uncle Kun, why are you here?"

"Eldest young master is really sensible, I have never seen you send someone off in person before..."

Uncle Kun is in his sixties, he is the old man's confidant, he is regarded as someone who watched him grow up.

Xiang Huaien reminded him more than once that Uncle Kun might be more likely to see his flaws than the old man.

There was a flash of light in Xiang Yindong's eyes, and he immediately chuckled: "Uncle Kun, you should still call me Xiaodong as before, why is the young master not the young master?"

Uncle Kun nodded, with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Xiang Yindong took his shoulders and walked into the room, sighed and said: "This time, thanks to uncle's help, as a junior, I still know that I will repay my kindness!"

"It's always good for you to have this heart..."

"How is your body recently? Is your leg still hurting..."

The night was dark, and the sky in the outskirts was full of stars, and the Xiang family mansion quickly returned to calm.

After recuperating for a few days, on Monday morning, Xiang Yindong followed the old man back to the company.

The rumors of his disappearance have been kept secret by the company's top management.

Now seeing him walk into the office intact, the employees are all rejoicing.

As a listed company, Zhenghai International has experienced brilliance, but also encountered many operating difficulties.

In the early years, in order to get out of the predicament, the old man had to introduce a large amount of investment.

Although the current Zhenghai International has a large scale, its shareholding is very scattered, and it can be said that there are many difficulties in management.

Three years ago, after Xiang Yindong officially took over, he boldly recruited new people and introduced high-end technology, which revitalized this old company.

In the mall, it is also a good story.

However, when fresh blood flows in, old genes will naturally be eliminated.

Over the years, the war between innovation and conservatives has never stopped.

Located in the CEO's office on the 27th floor, Xiang Yindong touched the familiar leather sofa, stared at the tall buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and stared blankly for a while.

Secretary Ada knocked on the door and came in, reminding: "Mr. Xiang, there are still 5 minutes before the meeting time!"

He nodded: "Okay, I see!"

Packing up his emotions, Xiang Yindong went directly to the conference room on the ninth floor.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Xiang Huai'en who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing the "you understand" expression on the other party's face, he also responded with a tacit smile.

The two walked into the conference room together, and there was a burst of whispering immediately.

Xiang Yindong let out a cold snort in his heart, this old fox really had his own wishful thinking.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was warm, and Xiang Yindong's appearance finally reassured all the executives and shareholders.

Of course, for this result, there must be some people who are happy and others are worried.

The old man didn't disclose the reason for his disappearance. Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors outside. Now that he has returned, any rumors will be self-defeating.

Managers at all levels reported their business status one by one, and Xiang Yindong listened carefully, feeling a little comforted in his heart.

The old man explained the situation to him. Due to the timely suspension of trading, the market panic was controlled and the possibility of the company being taken over by hostile parties was successfully curbed.

The public relations department has drawn up a series of press releases, explaining his "disappearance" as a secret itinerary - going to South America to discuss cooperation with several companies.

In a few days, "a person familiar with the matter" will accept an interview, revealing that the reason why the company gave up the acquisition of Hongwei Electronics is that it intends to enter the field of lithium batteries.

Judging from the current situation in the market where lithium is bound to fire, they don't need to worry about the trend of Zhenghai International after the resumption of trading.

From this point of view, the series of crises caused by his disappearance did not seem to pose a substantial threat to the company.

But Xiang Yindong knew that everything was just beginning.

At the beginning, he wanted to acquire Hongwei Electronics because he was interested in the company's intellectual property rights and wanted to use this to build an innovation laboratory and improve the company's new product research and development capabilities.

However, some people are not optimistic about such a huge investment in research and development, and frequently voice their opposition.

Although Xiang Yindong is a kind person on the surface, he is absolutely vigorous and decisive in his actions. In the process of advancing the merger and acquisition case, he has indeed offended many people.

During his disappearance, the conservative directors jointly proposed to terminate the acquisition plan, and the board of directors had to compromise.

As a result, the lithium battery project strongly supported by Jiang Yuanqing and other directors has become a strategic plan that the company focuses on.

And the person in charge of this plan is the company's vice president of overseas markets, Xiang Chenchen.

Xiang Yindong sat behind the conference table, squinting his eyes to look at the person opposite.

Xiang Chenchen - Xiang Huai'en's eldest daughter, Shen Bin's wife.

She just came back from abroad, and at this moment, she is eloquently introducing the background of a lithium battery company in South America, with a high-spirited look on her face.

Xiang Yindong's cousin is different from her useless younger brother. She has always been the person in charge of the company's overseas investment, and has traveled all over the world all year round. She has some vision and means.

This time she wanted to mobilize the company's resources for overseas mergers and acquisitions, and she received the support of many shareholders, which can be described as menacing.

"Yindong, what do you think?"

After listening to Xiang Chenchen's research report, the old man looked at Xiang Yindong, waiting for his opinion.

"Well..." Xiang Yindong showed hesitation, and looked at his uncle "respectfully", with a bewildered expression on his face.

Xiang Huai'en coughed quietly and raised his chin.

Xiang Yindong understood immediately, and said with a smile: "I want to hear the opinions of all shareholders first..."

The radical directors headed by Jiang Yuanqing immediately spoke enthusiastically, expressing their affirmation of the project's prospects.

They are naturally more willing to support the lithium battery project that Qian Jing is optimistic about than innovative laboratories that cannot produce benefits in the short term.

But the conservative faction headed by Lin Jincheng and Chu Dongming raised objections.

Chu Dongming is a veteran of Zhenghai. He has always been known for his steady and practical work. He is quite repulsive to innovative businesses. He has always opposed the acquisition of Hongwei Electronics.

Lin Jincheng's thoughts may be more complicated.

He and Xiang Huai'en have always been at odds, and since he was in charge of the acquisition of Hongwei Electronics, now that Xiang Chenchen is in charge, he will undoubtedly steal his limelight and voice, so he will not be happy about it.

So, he said bluntly: "Chairman, is it too hasty to persuade everyone to support such a large-scale overseas merger and acquisition case in a few words?"

Xiang Yindong rolled his eyes and quickly climbed up the pole: "Yes, aunt... Vice President Lin is right, let's study it again and again before continuing the discussion, Sophia, put the information on my desk, and I will read it carefully look?"

Xiang Chenchen's eyes darkened, but he still nodded gracefully: "I will submit the proposal as soon as possible!"

Xiang Huai'en saw all this, but didn't express any opinion.
