NOVEL NEXT Chapter 872: Shifting Responsibility
"Chen Group is now one of our shareholders, so it's not unreasonable to do this." Su Qingyu furrowed her brows slightly. She understood business matters well; in reality, employees in various positions within the Group might have their "backer" as a shareholder of some group. As shareholders, they naturally need to pay attention to the Group's dynamics and insert their trusted aides into certain positions, which is not surprising. Since Chen Group is so large, they naturally understand this principle. On the other hand, now that Chen Group has just become one of Tianya's shareholders, even though their stake isn't large, it presents an opportunity for cooperation between the two companies. To fall out with Chen Group over a few positions would be somewhat unwise.
Su Qingyu glanced over the list of positions that had been changed: the logistics department, the organization department, and the comprehensive department; these were all parts with mere "odd jobs" nature. Inserting people here won't have much impact on the company.
"Qingyu, you have such a broad heart." An Lan was still a bit worried, but since Su Qingyu, the president, had already tacitly approved, there was no point in advising further. An Lan was the head of public relations, not the HR department, and she wouldn't overstep her bounds. Moreover, she trusted Su Qingyu's judgment. Since she's confident about the matter, it's likely she's correct.
"By the way, where is he?" An Lan suddenly asked.
"Um...he went to Europe for some matters, he should be back in a few days." Su Qingyu's expression changed slightly, brushing it off casually.
"Oh, okay. But didn't he just go to Europe a few days ago?" An Lan nodded, curiously saying, remembering how last time Su Qingyu had encountered a scene at the European Royal Airport, her face flushed.
"Perhaps there's another matter. After all, he lived there for a long time." Su Qingyu's words left An Lan a bit puzzled, but she still nodded, knowing Ye Shikai always had his reasons.
Speaking of which, Su Qingyu didn't express any displeasure towards Chen Group's insertion of employees. One reason was Chen Yuxin; she knew Chen Yuxin had an unusual relationship with Ye Shikai, having grown up together. Of course, she wouldn't know about Chen Yuxin's feelings towards Ye Shikai, as Ye Shikai never mentioned it. If Su Qingyu knew, Chen Yuxin still held "lingering affection, hard to forget," Su Qingyu wouldn't be so calm.

Wang Family.
Luo Shiqi leaned lightly on the sofa, resting with her eyes closed, in a leisurely and composed manner. It's worth noting she had just been attacked, and crucially, the assailant was likely dispatched by the Wang Family. Now Luo Shiqi was "entering the tiger's den" yet showed such fearless demeanor, indeed possessing great general qualities.
In reality, Luo Shiqi could really gauge her opponents' intentions. If those assassins were sent by the Wang Family, what does that indicate? The Wang Family wants to strike but doesn't dare make a move overtly, hence wanting to assassinate halfway. If that's the case, the safest place is precisely the Wang Family. Staying here, if the Wang Family dares to act, then who the culprit is goes without saying.
Moreover, if Luo Shiqi were assassinated and died at the Wang Family, it would undoubtedly be a "bomb" for the family. Luo Shiqi is a prominent figure in Yanjing; if she just died like that, it would certainly cause a sensation.
Nightmare stood behind Luo Shiqi. He always followed Ye Shikai's orders. Since his command was to protect Luo Shiqi, he would carry it out uncompromisingly.
In his eyes, the Wang Family was truly a deep tiger's den, no less than Zeus's God King Hall. Walking into the Wang Mansion, he felt a "subtle yet powerful" energy wave, indicating the family harbored even stronger cultivators.
One can dodge a spear but not an arrow in the dark; Nightmare remained vigilant, not daring to relax.
Knock, knock, knock.
From afar came the sound of high heels clattering against the ground as Wang Qian, dressed in a formal suit, slowly walked over.
"Haha, Miss Luo, sorry for not welcoming you earlier." Wang Qian smiled and gestured to the servant to pour coffee.
"It's very cold, have a drink to warm up."
"Thank you." Luo Shiqi responded with a smile. At times, facing deadly enemies, they would greet each other with smiles. Wang Qian noticed the Nightmare behind Luo Shiqi; in his white robe, he resembled a hero from ancient dramas, somewhat peculiar. However, a hint of unusual concern flashed in Wang Qian's eyes.
Luo Shiqi caught this detail.
"You may leave." Luo Shiqi said calmly; she was somewhat worried Nightmare was Ye Shikai's man. If he didn't follow her orders, that would be quite awkward.
"Alright, Miss Luo, just let me know if you need anything." Nightmare nodded in agreement.
"Miss Wang, I believe you already know the purpose of my visit." Luo Shiqi straightforwardly stated, since it was regarding Wang Hu's matters to "warn" the Wang Family, some special means were required.
Negotiation is an art, especially between two strong women...
Half an hour later.
"Wang Hu is your family's man, so I naturally won't be too hard. Please rest assured, Miss Wang." Luo Shiqi said sipping her coffee with a faint smile. Only a fool would believe such words. Truth be told, Luo Shiqi wished she could tear Wang Hu apart piece by piece; of course, she bet Wang Hu felt the same about her.
"Wang Hu is a branch member of our Wang Family, so to speak, he's like an uncle to me. I didn't expect him to have a conflict with Miss Luo." Wang Qian continued, echoing the sentiment on the matter. Yanjing's antique association president Shi Chengyu had mentioned to Ye Shikai before that many Wang Family entities were profiteering, including some "gray industries," which Wang Hu likely partook in. However, Luo Shiqi didn't worry about Wang Hu toppling her; in the Underworld, she's quite adept. The key is the Wang Family behind Wang Hu. If such a large family gets involved, providing Wang Hu support, opposing Luo Shiqi could be troublesome.
"Haha, Miss Wang, you are too courteous. Wang Hu is your family's man; I understand the protection." Luo Shiqi chuckled lightly, implying Wang Qian continuously supported Wang Hu against Luo Shiqi, but Wang Qian found it difficult to deny. Would she say, "I'll have Wang Hu leave now, so he won't contend you"?
That's clearly impossible. Wang Hu's various actions targeting Luo Shiqi were actually prompted by Wang Qian from behind. Now, with Luo Shiqi saying this, how could Wang Qian be willing to let Wang Hu step down?
"Miss Luo, these are all family matters. Their decisions I can only advise on but not decide." Wang Qian pushed the "black responsibility" onto the family; she was now the eldest daughter, not the Family Head, and couldn't completely control everything.
