Chapter 16: Problem

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As expected, the shareholder who exchanged looks with Song Jiang stood up not long after.

He said with a serious expression, “Song Si is still a young girl who has just graduated. She doesn’t have any experience at all. If she becomes the acting chairwoman, what will the company’s future be like?”

Song Jiang sighed cooperatively and said helplessly, “Sigh, I also want her to train for another two years before inheriting the company, but… she seems to be in a rush.”

“Although you’re the young madam of the Shang family now, the company’s matters aren’t as simple as you think. It’s not like playing house. You can’t become the chairwoman just because you want to.

“You’re shouldering the future of a company and the lives of so many employees. I suggest you start from the bottom and accumulate some experience before taking over the company.”

The fat shareholder advised Song Si.

Many shareholders nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, young girl. You don’t have to be so anxious about taking over the company. Chairman Song only has the two of you. You’ll definitely have a share of the company in the future.”

“The business scope of the Shang family is much bigger. Why are you fighting for the position of chairwoman of such a small company?”

…

Song Si had seen this fat shareholder a few times at the banquets hosted by the Song family. His name was Xu Hui, and he was very close to Song Jiang.

He had incited everyone’s dissatisfaction toward Song Si. Some of the shareholders had already started to persuade Song Si to give up the idea of being the company’s chairwoman.

Song Si did not argue with them. Instead, she turned to look at Song Jiang and asked with a smile, “Dad, should I announce to the shareholders why I want to return to the company?”

Song Jiang frowned immediately. This wretched girl actually dared to threaten him?

He had worked hard for more than ten years to gain the recognition of these people in the company. If Song Si told them about this, his efforts would be in vain.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and interrupted everyone. “Everyone, don’t be anxious. Listen to me. It was my decision to let her be the acting chairwoman. I’m old now, so it’s time to nurture a successor.”

Xu Hui looked at Song Jiang in confusion. Why didn’t he do as he promised?

“Old Song, you…”

Xu Hui was interrupted by Song Jiang.

Song Jiang said, “Of course, Song Si is inexperienced. I can understand everyone’s objections. Why don’t we do this? The company is preparing to launch a new product next quarter and it’s lacking in raw stones. I’ll let Song Si handle this matter.

“If she handles it well, everyone will give her a chance to be the acting chairwoman and accumulate experience in the company.”

These words seemed to be speaking up for Song Si, but they were actually making things difficult for her.

Jiang Dong Corporation initially had businesses in many industries, but after Song Jiang became Jiang Dong Corporation’s chairman, he did not manage it well enough. In just a few years, only their jewelry business was still profitable.

Many suppliers did not think highly of Jiang Dong Corporation and were unwilling to supply them with goods. This caused Jiang Dong Corporation’s number of products to fall drastically in recent years. It was barely operating with a few good suppliers and partners.

How could Song Si, a university student who had just graduated, solve a problem that so many elders could not?

The shareholders discussed among themselves and finally sent out a representative to speak.

He said, “Alright, we agree. As long as Miss Song can solve this problem, we won’t have any objections about her becoming the acting chairwoman.”

However, there were also people who disagreed.

“Chairman Song, aren’t you making things difficult for her? Miss Song just graduated and doesn’t have any connections or experience. How can she take on such a hard task?”

Someone spoke up for Song Si. Song Si looked over. It was a middle-aged man with a head full of white hair.

Song Si recalled that this person was her grandfather’s trusted aide, Chen Hai.

Chen Hai was trained under her grandfather. After her grandfather died, he remained in the company and held a high position.

Song Si looked at him gratefully. He smiled and nodded.

“This test is indeed a little difficult, but the position of chairwoman affects the development of a company. Someone capable needs to take over. I don’t want to see the company end up badly either.

“If Song Si finds this test too difficult, she can slowly accumulate experience from the bottom.”

Song Jiang tossed the question to Song Si with the intention of forcing her to give up her position as acting chairwoman.
