After Luan Yenan, Luan Muyin, and the key technical staff all raised their hands, the company secretary reluctantly wrote down the results.
Everything was set in stone.
Meanwhile, Luan Lizheng was still rambling on: "Not bad, not bad. As expected of a child of the Luan family, you are decisive and resolute in doing things. I can rest assured that the company is in your hands."
Luan Yenan raised his eyebrows, looking at Luan Lizheng's expression, and was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
Another characteristic of feudal patriarchs is that they take credit for the good qualities of their children and express their own merits by saying things like "This child is the offspring of my family."
Luan Yenan said coldly to Luan Yecha, "Yecha, take Grandpa away. He won't have an easy time these days, so spend more time with him. Don't show up in front of me."
The preceding words were all polite formalities, but the last sentence was the truth.
When Luan Yecha was called out, he was so frightened that his whole body stiffened. He scrambled to his feet and helped Luan Lizheng to his feet: "Grandpa, let's go back and rest."
Luan Li glared at him.
Luan Yecha hurriedly added, "I'll leave the company matters to my cousin."
Luan Lizheng then slowly stood up.
Luan Muyin sighed with emotion as she watched, never expecting that her father would exit the stage of history in this way.
When Luan Lizheng arrived in the morning, his steps were steady, with a strength rarely seen in people his age. But in just a few hours, his energy seemed to have been drained, and he aged ten years in an instant.
"And these few, should they leave now? We need to have a board meeting," Luan Yennan added.
"..." They were speechless, and couldn't even ask if it was more inappropriate for Zuo Baixuan to stay here.
They looked at each other, and finally, reluctantly, they relinquished their power and left the center of power they had fought for for half their lives.
After Luan Yenan and the other "unrelated people" left, he glanced at the remaining people.
A quick glance reveals who has consistently supported Luan Muyin and who has switched sides.
The guilty ones looked away as they exchanged glances, while the open ones met Luan Ye Nan's gaze head-on, anticipating her next suggestion.
Luan Yennan turned to Luan Muyin and said, "President Luan, this is General Manager Zuo from 'Group One,' I don't need to introduce him, right? Next, I would like to have our company work with 'Group One' to develop smart drones that are easy for civilian use and join the 'Internet of Things' project."
!!
Sure enough, a new plan emerged!
Although "drones" are not exactly a new project, the "intelligent drones" that Luan Yenan mentioned aroused the interest of several tech enthusiasts present.
Having just learned new knowledge under Professor Luan's careful guidance, Zuo has now transformed into "General Manager Zuo," immediately putting his newfound knowledge to use and convincing everyone in the conference room with a PowerPoint presentation.
So, before the working class was about to leave work, two explosive news items once again ignited the industry.
The board of directors underwent a major reshuffle, with the old team led by Luan Lizheng completely leaving the stage. Luan Yenan, holding 3% of the shares, became a board member and gained real power.
Frontend and Yituan have announced a new collaboration, and details of the project will be released soon.
What was a negative factor for the "front-end" during the day suddenly became a positive factor for both the "front-end" and "group" in the afternoon.
Everyone knows that Luan Yennan won the battle against outsiders, and he also won the battle within the Luan family.
Although they didn't know what had happened, people from both companies were greatly shocked.
After accepting Luan Muyin's invitation to come home for dinner, Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan left amidst the complete silence of the "Front-end" employees, and returned to the company amidst the cheers of the "Group One" employees.
"Boss, you're amazing!!! You didn't give up on us after all!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The boss lady has been working so hard these past few days, turning the tide. You know they definitely haven't given up. This is their hard work!"
"Boss, you're really amazing! Are you the CEO of two companies now?"
The employees surrounded them.
Jiang Lingdan was also very excited.
Because when she asked Chen Huanyu, Chen Huanyu didn't say anything, and all she knows now is surprise. She winked at Zuo Baixuan.
Zuo Baixuan smiled at Jiang Lingdan, revealing her dimples, indicating that she could talk to her in detail later when she had time.
Luan Yenan laughed with everyone for a few seconds, then stopped smiling and said to one of the group leaders, "In a while, the new project will require a trip to Jiangcheng for research. I will send you a document, and you can draft a travel list then."
"Huh? Ah... okay, boss." The man quickly snapped out of his daze and adopted a serious expression.
Luan Yenan's face darkened, and everyone frightenedly suppressed their joy.
Zuo Baixuan found it amusing. She took the arm of the fierce-looking boss next to her and said to everyone, "Alright, you guys don't need to stand there anymore. It's almost time to get off work. If you don't have any work to do, go home and rest."
"Okay, ma'am!"
Everyone, disperse.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luan Yenan being led back to the office by Zuo Baixuan.
"Waaaah, the landlady is so gentle. Thank goodness she's here. The boss's aura is just too strong and scary."
"The boss's wife is usually quite intimidating, but today the boss suddenly became surprisingly gentle."
"Will the boss stay on as a director in the 'front-end' department from now on?"
"No way, weren't we just arranging a business trip?"
"The fact that the 'front-end developer' agreed to this is amazing. The boss is really something else."
No one knew exactly what had happened, but they were certain that it was a method they could not possibly achieve, and they all looked at Luan Ye Nantou with admiration.
Zuo Baixuan, who could easily take Luan Yenan away with a simple arm-link, looked at him with even greater admiration.
...
Zuo Baixuan followed Luan Yenan into the office and closed the door behind her.
Zuo Baixuan, who had gotten used to working in this office, watched Luan Yenan sit down in the office chair and her eyes flickered.
"Now that all the previous problems have been resolved, and even your grandfather has been ousted by you, it's time for you to come back, and it's time for me to step down." Zuo Baixuan slowly walked over.
Luan Yenan didn't respond. His fingers slowly traced across the table, finally stopping on a completely black notebook.
Zuo Baixuan was startled; that was a notebook with plans written on it!
After realizing she didn't want to divorce Luan Yennan, she made many changes to the plan page, especially... she even drew a heart next to Luan Yennan's name like a little girl, which Luan Yennan couldn't see!
She rushed forward, trying to stop him.
Luan Yenan, however, took the opportunity to grab her hand and pull her towards him.
Caught off guard, Zuo Baixuan found herself enveloped in a soft and fragrant environment.
Luan Yenan lowered his head and approached.
Zuo Baixuan was swayed by the fragrant scent, turned her head to look at the notebook.
Luan Yenan had indeed turned to that page, his finger still resting on the conspicuous heart.
Like a girl whose romantic secrets have been exposed, Zuo Baixuan shrank her neck and refused to look up.
Luan Yenan's laughter reached her ears, and he hugged her tightly: "Didn't you say you were going to step down? Why are you in such a hurry to come and take over?"
"I didn't steal the seat, you dragged me here, didn't you?" Zuo Baixuan looked up at Luan Yenan, shifted her body to a more comfortable position, and leaned against Luan Yenan's soft chest.
So what if they find out my secret? My little secrets have been out of the question for a long time.
Just like Luan Yenan's uncontrollable possessiveness whenever he is alone with himself, he is not like a big boss who controls everything outside, but a child who is completely powerless against temptation.
Luan Yenan lowered his gaze and raised a light laugh.
Soon, the office chair, which was supporting the weight of the two girls, made a sound that made people blush and their hearts race.
After a while, Zuo Baixuan rolled her eyes awkwardly, complaining about Luan Yenan's lack of self-control.
Luan Yenan stared at Zuo Baixuan with lingering interest.
He stared at Zuo Baixuan until he felt like he was going to be eaten again if he looked any longer before he looked away.
Luan Yenan, however, did not let her go. He pressed her against the table and asked in a low voice, "I am not satisfied with your plan."
Zuo Baixuan gave a low snort, wondering what this person was going to say next, and didn't want to listen.
She took the initiative and kissed Luan Yenan's bright red lips.
After a while, Zuo Baixuan tugged at Luan Yenan's shirt collar to show goodwill: "Then tell me, what do I still owe you?"
It is melodious and gentle, with a subtle Jiangnan water town accent.
Zuo Baixuan's mother's family are all from Jiangnan, and their ancestral home is in Jiangcheng.
After being adopted, seven-year-old Zuo Baixuan, whether or not she remembers these details, still bears the marks on her.
The beautiful woman from the water town was charming and reserved, which made Luan Yenan lower his head and kiss her again.
The tip of my tongue licked across the lines of my lips, like winding streams, and every sip was sweet like the water of those streams.
Luan Yenan only let Zuo Baixuan go after quenching his thirst. He picked up the pen, placed it in Zuo Baixuan's hand, and moved it onto the notebook.
In the last line, the character "离" (divorce) has disappeared due to ink smudging, leaving the character "婚" (marriage) all alone.
Luan Yenan held Zuo Baixuan's hand and added the character "礼" (gift/ceremony) after the character "婚" (marriage).
"A wedding?" Zuo Baixuan's heart pounded with each stroke of the pen.
“You don’t owe me anything. I’ve had a wonderful time in this world because of you.” Luan Yennan didn’t know if Zuo Baixuan could understand, but she kissed the back of Zuo Baixuan’s neck and said gently and softly, “But I owe you a wedding.”
In her past life, many people told her that every girl looks forward to her wedding.
Luan Yenan scoffed at these words.
She not only felt she didn't need it, but even thought that people who held weddings were wasting their lives.
But as she looked at Zuo Baixuan, her mind, which was usually devoid of romance, suddenly had a lot of interesting ideas that she wanted to try with her.
"Zuo Baixuan, I have a wedding I'd like to invite you to. Would you be willing to attend?"
