Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp - Chapter 36

Chapter 36 I Like to Convince People with Reason

Liu Qing asked about the details of the company in Pengcheng, but Ding Yun did not know much about it. She made a call and asked her subordinates to send the company’s information over.

From this, he could tell that Ding Yun was not someone who was actively involved in the management of the company.

She understood it as well and gave Liu Qing a bitter smile.

“Although I hate that girl Su Qi, I have to say that she has a head for business. Since joining the company a few years ago, she has made a lot of money for the company. If it weren’t for the incident with her mother, I would have just handed the company over to her for her to manage. But the situation now is that she hates me even if I don’t hate her. If I hand the company over to her, I’m afraid she will just slowly empty it out.”

Liu Qing deeply agreed.

It would be easy for the head of a company to empty it out. There were many ways to go about doing it.

Ding Yun’s inheritance was worth tens of billions, but these tens of billions were only on paper. It was an amount that was very difficult to cash out.

If the money was cashed out too quickly, the value would definitely drop greatly. If the matter was not handled well, it could even cause the entire company to collapse.

Ding Yun was holding guard over a company with tens of billions of assets, but she did not know how to manage the company. She worried all day long about whether the people in the company would do things to empty out the company. It was not an easy life.

He had a better understanding about why she decided to reunite with the son whom she had abandoned for more than 10 years.

Even if she found a loser, at least he was on her side. Even if she placed him there as just a backdrop, he could still manage to scare off at least a few people.

What if he was not a loser?

This would also be a very helpless situation. However, in Liu Qing’s opinion, rich people typically felt helpless about many things and that was the price they had to pay for their happiness.

They had such worries only because they wanted to grasp on to more things.

If they did not want so much, they would not have so many worries.

As they were chatting, Geng Xia returned with the surveillance footage from the property management office. She had used her phone to record the scene of Liu Qing entering and exiting the elevator and brought it over for Ding Yun to take a look.

The corner where Liu Qing stood was directly under the camera. The WeChat chat page on his phone could be seen and it proved that he was indeed typing and not filming secretly.

Ding Yun watched the video from beginning to end. After confirming the truth of the matter, she finally felt relieved. Then she said to Geng Xia, “Call Su Qi and ask her to come to my office. Ask her to bring that secretary as well.”

She did not get along with Su Qi and did not want to call her personally, so she asked Geng Xia to make this call.

Not long after, Su Qi came over with Feng Zhixuan.

It was only now that Liu Qing had the mood to size up Feng Zhixuan properly.

He had to admit that women who could get hired as a secretary were never too ugly.

This woman was actually quite pretty. At least she was prettier than any women that Liu Qing knew, and she had a good figure as well.

However, Liu Qing was not in the mood to appreciate her looks.

When he thought about the elevator incident, he felt annoyed with this woman.

Su Qi was also quite good-looking. This woman’s aura was too strong and it made Liu Qing too embarrassed to scrutinize her looks in detail. He could only conclude that she looked alright.

Anyway, she was not the type that Liu Qing liked.

He felt that this woman was too proud and seemed to have some contempt for him.

Liu Qing would not like anyone who looked down on him.

Liu Qing had an even worse impression of this woman now, especially after knowing that she would be his biggest competitor for control of the company in the future.

Before Ding Yun came, he still had a fairly good impression of her. He felt that this woman was at least much better at dealing with people than Secretary Feng.

Well, that feeling is gone now.

Feng Zhixuan currently had a pitiful expression on her face.

She had offended a man who addressed the chairwoman as mother, and now the chairwoman had asked to see her. She felt that she was going to be in deep trouble.

She regretted it, but it was useless now.

Upon arriving, she greeted Ding Yun in a pitiful manner.

“Hello, chairwoman.”

Ding Yun had been chatting happily with Liu Qing earlier. When she heard their footsteps, she quickly pulled a long face.

What Feng Zhixuan saw now was a chairwoman with a cold face.

It made her even more scared.

Su Qi also felt that something was wrong. After entering, she quickly asked a question.

“May I know why the chairwoman asked us to come over?”

There was no expression on her face. She did not want to show any emotion in front of this woman.

Her words were also cold. There was absolutely no warmth from her. This was the type of relationship that the two of them had.

Ding Yun was also expressionless. She pointed at Liu Qing and said, “First of all, let me introduce all of you. His name is Liu Qing. He’s the son I had with my ex-husband.”

These words were like a bolt from the blue, stunning Su Qi and Feng Zhixuan.

Su Qi thought to herself, “So this man is not her gigolo, but her biological son! What does she mean by bringing her son to the company? Does she intend to let her son take over the company?”

Ding Yun owned 55% of Tianyuan Group’s shares. In theory, she had that kind of authority.

This made Su Qi feel a huge sense of crisis. She felt that she might not be able to keep her upcoming position as the president of the company.

In fact, after Ding Yun inherited those shares, she already felt that she would not be able to stay in this company for long, but she did not expect this day to come so soon.

During this period of time, she had met with the rest of the shareholders of the company and obtained their support.

However, even if all the shareholders pooled their shares together, it was still less than Ding Yun’s share. If Ding Yun insisted on going her own way even without full consensus, such support would still be meaningless.

Under such a sense of crisis, she was not even in the mood to think about the kind of revenge her secretary was going to face.

Feng Zhixuan was so frightened that her face turned pale.

It would have been slightly better to have offended the chairwoman’s gigolo. In such a case, the chairwoman would probably be too embarrassed to go overboard with her reaction.

However, she had offended the chairwoman’s biological son, so how could she possibly get away with it?

Ding Yun’s expression was as cold as ice as she continued to speak.

“After I met up with my son, he told me that after he got into the elevator, he was slandered by Secretary Feng who said that he filmed her secretly. I haven’t seen my son for more than 10 years, and I’m not sure what his character is like. I don’t know if he’s lying. So I asked Geng Xia to go to the property management office to check the surveillance cameras and to record the footage of my son entering and exiting the elevator. I asked the two of you over here now to see if he secretly did any filming. If he did such a thing, I’ll personally send him to the police station. If he didn’t do such a thing, then you have to give me an explanation, Secretary Feng.”

Then, she spoke to Geng Xia who was standing behind her.

“Xiao Geng, play the video. Let them take a look.”

Feng Zhixuan hurriedly lowered her head and said, “Chairwoman, there’s no need to watch the video. I already know that I have misunderstood Mr. Liu. I’ve also already apologized to him.”

Ding Yun said, “It’s better to take a look in case others say that you were forced to apologize because he’s my son. I like to convince people with reason, not by force.”
