Yue Ning Group's New CEO

Lu Zifeng covered his face, his expression instantly turning red, staring incredulously at the arrogant woman before him!

"What problems can a mere department manager solve?!"

The woman remained arrogant and domineering, slamming the Lenovo Ultrabook onto the table and saying, "This isn't just a computer problem anymore; it's that someone as big as LuoMei can't even fix a small laptop!"

As she spoke, she walked directly towards me and the fat guy, saying, "What are you two looking at?"

She raised her hand as if to hit him.

That's too arrogant. I won't tolerate it.

Before the other person could make a move, he slapped her across the face with a backhand.

"Smack!"

The blow was so hard that you could see the flabby flesh on her face swaying back and forth.

"Holy crap..."

Lu Zifeng's face turned green.

"You... you..."

The woman covered her face and got up to hit him again.

"Smack!"

The fat man slapped her on the other side of her face, instantly making both sides symmetrical.

"I think you guys don't want to work at Luo Mei anymore!"

The woman roared, like a rampaging wild boar.

"If you don't want to do it, then don't!"

The fat man sneered, "How domineering you are! You say you won't let us two work in Luo Mei, and that's it! Do you think we're so scared? I've reached the maximum level in repair; I can earn a living anywhere. Why do I have to stay in Luo Mei and be a coward?"

The woman was screaming.

Just then, a figure appeared at the door. It was a well-dressed man with a very refined appearance, wearing Luo Mei's high-end work badge on his chest.

Chen Dongqing, Operations Director of Luomei Huaining Flagship Store.

"Ms. Huang."

Chen Dongqing rushed in, took the woman's arm, and asked, "What happened? Who made you so angry?"

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived!"

The woman, with tears streaming down her face, berated and insulted everyone in our entire repair department in just a few words.

"You guys!"

Chen Dongqing glared at us fiercely. "Do you know who Ms. Huang is?! Her uncle is our General Manager Huang!"

"Mr. Huang... General Manager Huang..."

Lu Zifeng's expression changed drastically.

"Ms. Huang, please calm down. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter. We will compensate you where necessary and deal with the matter accordingly. I, Chen Dongqing, will never protect anyone!"

"Okay, Mr. Chen, you said it."

The woman poured out her heart in a tearful lament before leaving, accompanied by Chen Dongqing.

The maintenance section was eerily silent.

Fatty and I were both furious, while Xu Hao was pale with fright. As the department manager, Lu Zifeng had been slapped in public, losing all his prestige, and his face was the most unpleasant at that moment.

"Damn it, he's actually a relative of General Manager Huang..."

Lu Zifeng gritted his teeth. "Brothers, we have no choice but to accept our defeat today."

"Who is Old Huang?" I asked.

"Huang Minyu."

The fat man said, "The general manager of Luo Mei's Flagship Store in Huaining City is also one of the major shareholders of Luo Mei's headquarters. General Manager Huang basically has absolute power in Luo Mei in Huaining. If this woman is really determined to make things difficult for us, all four of us might have to leave."

"It's that serious?"

I frowned.

"Ding Han, Fatty."

Xu Hao stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll remember what you did today, and I'll definitely repay you both when I have the chance!"

"Haozi, what are you saying!"

The fat man said, "If Ding Han and I got beaten up, you definitely wouldn't stand idly by, right?"

"Um!"

"Old Lu."

The fat man looked at Lu Zifeng: "What are we going to do about this? Is there any way to salvage the situation?"

"I don't know, let's see what Mr. Chen says..."

Lu Zifeng said, "If President Chen can make Ms. Huang happy, we can at most punish ourselves with three drinks and get away with it. Otherwise, it might really be difficult."

"..."

Silence fell upon everyone again.

Until around 2 PM.

"Knock knock~~"

A woman dressed in a work skirt and wearing a Luo Mei name tag knocked on the door and asked, "Who is Ding Han? Who is Yang Wei?"

"What's up?"

The fat guy and I got up at the same time.

"Um."

She nodded. "Mr. Chen wants to see you. Please come with me, I'll take you to his office."

Immediately, Fatty and I exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of impending doom.

The two followed Chen Dongqing's secretary upstairs to the director's office. The secretary pushed open the door and said, "Mr. Chen, the two of them are here."

"Okay, let them in. You go and do your thing."

"Yes."

The secretary turned around. "President Chen wants you to come in."

The fat guy and I walked into the office side by side, feeling a little uneasy.

"Please sit down."

Chen Dongqing sighed, "Ding Han, Yang Wei, do you two know how much trouble you've gotten yourself into?"

"I know a little."

The fat man mustered his masculinity and said, "Mr. Chen, you can handle it if you want. We brothers will take responsibility."

"Okay, okay..."

Chen Dongqing grinned and said, "Trying to play the hero with me, huh?"

As he spoke, he gave the fat man a meaningful smile, "I heard you've already reached the maximum level in Advanced Repair? Looks like you haven't reached level 30 yet, otherwise you should be a Proficient Repairer, right?"

"Holy crap..."

The fat guy and I were both stunned.

This Mr. Chen is actually one of our own?!

Hahahaha~~~~

Chen Dongqing laughed heartily, "Now you know why I let my secretary leave, right?"

"Are they on our side?"

The fat man smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Um."

Chen Dongqing said, "There are no surveillance cameras or listening devices in this office. Let's introduce ourselves. My name is Chen Dongqing, I'm from Suzhou. I used to be a senior executive at Shishan Tianjie, but after coming to Star Abyss, my status changed to a senior executive at Luo Mei. However, I'm not too focused on the game. I'm afraid of dying, so I'm currently below level 10 and I'm too lazy to even do daily tasks."

"Ding Han."

I nodded. "From Suzhou, level 30, sword-wielding super weapon, ID: Shadow Chaser."

"Um!"

Chen Dongqing cast a meaningful glance at him. "I've heard the name of Boss Shadow Chaser countless times on the Dark Web and the Star Chart. I never expected we'd meet in this way."

The fat man said, "My name is Yang Wei, I'm from Suzhou, my game ID is 'Chasing Light, 'my Firepower Specialist,' and I'm currently level 23."

"Nice to meet you!"

Chen Dongqing nodded.

"Mr. Chen, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!" the fat man said with a smile, seizing the opportunity.

"Nature."

Chen Dongqing laughed and said, "But since we're all on the same side, there's no need to call me President Chen. Just call me Chen Dongqing. We're all around the same age, so there's no need to be so polite. Besides, based on player strength, both of you are far stronger than me. You should take care of me if you have the chance."

"Definitely! Definitely!"

I asked in a deep voice, "Chen Dongqing, how was Ms. Huang's problem resolved?"

"What else can be done but to appease them and apologize..."

He chuckled helplessly, "These rich people, as long as you flatter them and go along with them, everything is fine. But I've never seen employees like you two slapping these gold card VIP clients before..."

He gave a thumbs up. "Awesome!"

The fat man said, "So, I want Ding Han to avoid being fired this time?"

"Okay, it's alright now."

Chen Dongqing said, "I'll handle the pressure from Old Huang. Besides, he knows his niece's character best. She's spoiled rotten. She acts like she's back in her own palace at Luo Mei. People like that will suffer sooner or later. And her commotion will also negatively impact Luo Mei's reputation. Don't worry, he won't pursue this too much. Otherwise, he'll be the one who suffers."

"That's good."

I took a deep breath. "Fatty and I were worried for a long time, thinking we'd have to move to Yuening across the street to find jobs!"

"Yuening?"

Chen Dongqing grinned. "As one of our own, I might as well be frank and say this: if you really have connections to get to Yuening, you might as well just go there. The salary and benefits are good there, and there's a lot of room for promotion in the future. If I had connections, I would want to go myself."

The fat man frowned and said, "Wasn't Luo Mei previously on par with Yue Ning? Why does it sound like things aren't evenly matched anymore?"

"The past is the past, the present is the present."

Chen Dongqing said, "Yuening recently appointed a CEO who is very capable. His various marketing tactics are hard to defend against, and in the past two months, Luo Mei's market share in Huaining City has been declining steadily."

"A new CEO?" the fat man asked in surprise.

"Such big news, and you guys don't know? Come here, let me find it for you."

So the two of them went behind the desk together.

Chen Dongqing quickly searched and found a photo of a beautiful woman on the webpage, and it was also the cover story of an economics magazine, with the caption "The Heiress of Yue Ning Group Returns." As for the person in the photo...

I was stunned. This was Lin Qingying I spent every day with!

Wait, she's the eldest daughter of the Yue Ning Group?!

That doesn't make sense. Yue Ning Group is a behemoth. Why would the young lady of such a large corporation be living with me in such a cramped old house with less-than-ideal conditions?!

"It's so beautiful..."

The fat man looked astonished. "Not only is she this beautiful, but she's also the heir to the Yue Ning Group! Good heavens must have piled all the good fortune on her alone!"

"You really think she's that lucky?"

Chen Dongqing smiled meaningfully and said, "Actually, if you were in Lin Qingying's position, you might not be willing to switch."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because things aren't very peaceful inside Yuening right now..."

Chen Dongqing said, "Ever since the death of Chairman Lin Junting and his wife in a car accident six months ago, the power struggle within the Yue Ning Group never stopped. Although Lin Qingying is currently the largest shareholder, it won't be easy for her to return to the core of power in this faction-ridden group. Just wait and see. She's too young, and the most likely outcome is that she'll be sidelined. No one on the board wants her back."

He smiled faintly, "As competitors, we at Luo Mei will just wait and see the show."

"..."

I was dumbfounded.

At that moment, I finally understood why Lin Qingying was so emotionally fragile. When she met me, her parents had only passed away a few months earlier, and she had to quickly shoulder the heavy burden left to her by her father. Putting myself in her shoes, I can only imagine how difficult that period must have been for her. No wonder she liked the A Journey on a Mountain Road so much.
