The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

"Right now, only me and the people over there know about it, but the news can't be kept secret for too long. The rest of the shareholders should have received the news within an hour at most."

"Okay, I understand. One hour is enough. I will bring grandma here first. You can keep an eye on the company's changes at any time."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll ask the driver to wait for you below."

Xu Jingyi pretended to be calm and walked out of Gu Minzheng's office, took the CEO's exclusive elevator to the first floor downstairs, and asked the driver to take her towards the old house.

On the way, Xu Jingyi stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, but what came to her mind were the scenes from her video chat with Gu Minzheng a few days ago.

"Ma'am, madam, we're here."

The driver's words brought the distracted Xu Jingyi back. She raised her hand to quickly wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I understand, please wait for me here."

After Xu Jingyi finished speaking, she opened the car door and walked out. When she arrived at the old house, the old lady was writing in the study. She knocked on the door and went in. The old lady noticed Xu Jingyi's red and swollen eyes at first sight.

"what happened?"

Xu Jingyi looked at the old lady and pursed her lips: "Grandma, Min Zheng went to the crude oil base in the Middle East some time ago. There was a conflict there today. They said that Min Zheng can't be contacted now. I will pick you up to the company."

When the old lady heard Xu Jingyi's words, the brush fell from her hand and fell onto the rice paper, instantly destroying the calligraphy she had just written.

However, the old lady is a person who has experienced ups and downs. Compared with Xu Jingyi's shaky posture when she first heard the news, she only lost her composure for a moment and then cheered up.

"Wait until I change my clothes and I'll go to the company with you."

"Okay, grandma, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Xu Jingyi watched her grandma walk to the bedroom with the help of her aunt, then turned around and walked downstairs. At the same time, she despised herself in her heart. It was really inappropriate for her to be so unbearable when encountering some situation, and to let her worry about her. .

Thinking of this, while her grandma was changing clothes, she went upstairs to Gu Minzheng's room again, because she would come back with the children from time to time on weekends, and her toiletries were all here.

Xu Jingyi quickly removed her makeup, washed her face, and carefully put on makeup, covering her red and swollen eyes. When she went downstairs again, no one could tell anything strange about her unless you looked carefully.

The old lady looked at Xu Jingyi walking down the stairs, admiration flashing in her eyes.

"Let's go."

"Grandma, I'll help you."

Xu Jingyi stepped forward quickly, took the old lady's arm from her aunt and helped her get out of the car and get in the car, all the way to the company.

When they went upstairs, Zhou Zheng was already waiting at the elevator door: "Old lady, madam."

"Well, how are you now?" The old lady looked at Zhou Zheng and asked.

"All shareholders have learned the news and came here, and are now waiting in the conference room."

"You lead the way." The old lady nodded, looked at Zhou Zheng and said.

Zhou Zheng led the two of them to the conference room. The moment the conference room door opened, Xu Jingyi heard a "beep" in her mind, the familiar sound of the system issuing tasks.

"Task: Help the male protagonist keep the company while he returns to China. Reward: 50000 points and 100 million."

Xu Jingyi paused slightly, then immediately returned to normal, and followed the old lady in.The originally noisy conference room became silent the moment the old lady entered, and everyone's eyes fell on the old lady.

The old lady sat on the main seat with a cold face and glanced at everyone. The shareholders lowered their heads.

"What is this for?"

"Old madam, don't get me wrong. We received news that Min Zheng's situation in the Middle East is unknown, and we are a little worried, so we came to the company to have a look."

"Yes, old lady, let's take a look."

After the first person spoke, the rest of the people followed suit.

"Now you see, nothing will happen if I am here for a day, you can rest assured."

"The old lady is serious. We naturally believe the old lady. Since the old lady says this, we will be fine." The person who spoke first said sarcastically.

"Since you are fine, now is the time when everyone is here, so there is no need for you to make a special trip. During the period of Min Zheng's absence, his wife will temporarily take over his work."

The old lady's deep and powerful voice sounded in the conference room.

In an instant, all the shareholders' eyes fell on Xu Jingyi. Xu Jingyi straightened her back subconsciously and accepted the scrutiny of the shareholders gracefully.

"Old Madam, is this move inappropriate?"

"Yes, she...well, Jingyi, right? She probably hasn't received any training in this area before, maybe she has some..."

"This is no joke. There are tens of thousands of people in the Gu family. A slight mistake may cause immeasurable losses."

All shareholders expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision made by Mrs. Zhao Zhu.

"Not only did Jingyi turn two companies from losses to profits before, she has also been working beside Min Zheng during this period. What's more, she is Min Zheng's legal wife. She is more qualified than anyone else to take over. Qualifications, not to mention I’m here.”

Every word of the old lady conveyed a kind of authority, especially the sharp eyes of the old lady, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Even if everyone was dissatisfied, they knew that they could not refute what the old lady said. After all, they combined The shares simply cannot compete with the Gu family shares.

"Now that the old lady has said this, we have nothing to say. We just hope that Mr. Xu will think twice before doing anything and not to hinder Mr. Gu."

"I know the worries in the hearts of shareholders. No matter what I say now, no one believes it, so let us speak with facts."

As soon as Xu Jingyi finished speaking, she immediately expressed her attitude.

After dealing with the shareholders, Xu Jingyi helped the old lady to Gu Minzheng's office and poured water for the old lady herself: "Grandma, drink some water and rest first."

The old lady picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Then she looked up at Xu Jingyi who was standing in front of her and said, "Jingyi, as Min Zheng's wife, his responsibilities are also your responsibilities. Now that he has something to do, you need to stand by." Come out, can you blame grandma?"

Xu Jingyi shook her head: "Grandma, this is what I should do. I will only worry that if I don't do it well, it will hold you and Min Zheng back."

"You don't need to think like this. Your ability is not bad at all. What you lack is just experience. Now is your opportunity and challenge."

"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely not betray your trust."

The old lady stayed in the company for a while. Xu Jingyi was afraid of tiring the old lady and finally discussed sending the old lady back to the old house. At the same time, she also asked Zhou Zheng to arrange for someone to send the two children to the old house. , Gu Xiao couldn't leave the nursing home for the time being, so he sent someone to protect him in case someone took the opportunity to cause trouble.
