Chapter 485: 471 President Yue delegates authority

Zhou Jue found it difficult to describe his feelings at that moment.

It wasn’t that Xingyue was his only investment project, but to him, Xingyue represented a journey filled with hardships and pain.

He harbored the ambition to protect those artists who had not yet been tainted in this big dye vat, to reinvent a new entertainment company with his own hands, and to restore it to Spring City’s most prideful enterprise...

But what was his return?

It was Feng Long’s overwhelming control, President Jiang’s indifference, and watching the artists fall one by one, with himself wanting to save but unable to rescue them from their plight.

When confronted with high profits, Zhou Jue asked himself if he was ever tempted.

Of course he was!

At such times, he would look through Director Tang’s materials to see how he maintained his integrity amidst enormous benefits, sustaining it for ten years?

The reform plan of Zhongxing this year undoubtedly gave Zhou Jue a shot in the arm!

He thought, such outrageous incidents, even mixed with Grade D substances and various black industries, how did Zhongxing manage to pull through perfectly?

If such a big company could succeed in reforming, perhaps Xingyue could give it a try?

As Zhou Jue was trying to figure out a solution, President Yue arrived with the forces that President Jiang had laid out in advance, capturing Feng Long and his entourage in one fell swoop!

Such an exhilarating plot almost made Zhou Jue scream out loud!

If he wasn’t already of a certain age, he certainly would have cried!

Even though he held back, his eyes still turned a bit red.

Choking up, he spoke, "President Yue, to be honest, before you came, I was about to give up on Xingyue... but now, I am filled with boundless hope for it!"

Yan Yueqing had looked into the shareholders of Xingyue before setting off and knew that Zhou Jue and Director Tang were the same kind of people, with no tolerance for deceit and full of righteous love for what they did.

She truly admired such employees, who had morals and steadfastness.

So, Yan Yueqing decisively said, "I dismissed the other shareholders because there is something I wanted to ask President Zhou."

Zhou Jue saw her expression become serious and involuntarily sat up straight, "Please speak, President Yue."

"Although President Jiang has transferred his shares to me, to be honest, the time I can spend in Spring City is quite limited."

Zhou Jue understood, "President Yue is a busy person, with plenty to deal with just in C City and Magic Capital..."

Yan Yueqing had investigated him, and he likewise had learned about her existence online.

Almost everything to do with Zhongxing was related to President Yue, not to mention the billion-dollar foundation for critically ill children, Animal Base, and the recent hot-selling real estate project in C City...

"Xingyue is a modest place, it can’t hold the soaring phoenix. The fact that President Yue could take the time out of her busy schedule to resolve the company’s biggest hidden danger is already a blessing for it."

When he said this, Zhou Jue wasn’t bitter, nor was there any sarcasm.

Every word came from the purest thoughts in his heart.

After all, being able to follow a wise boss was something he longed for but could not attain.

But he couldn’t allow a small company to block the boss’s grand path!

Zhou Jue felt regretful and pained, but deep down, he genuinely wished that President Yue would go farther and farther.

Yan Yueqing watched his expressive face and couldn’t help but smile, "President Zhou, I may not be here often, but that doesn’t mean I won’t take care of things."

Zhou Jue suddenly realized, rubbing his hands together awkwardly, "Hahaha, I was immersed in the emotions of parting and almost forgot about that..."

"President Zhou is a man of emotion; I understand," Yan Yueqing nodded and looked at him before saying, "President Zhou, I want to ask if you would be willing to assist me with the company’s affairs while I am away?"

Zhou Jue was stunned for two seconds, his fingers trembling as he pointed to himself, "Me? You want to entrust me with such important matters? But... but President Ou is President Jiang’s man, left specially for President Yue, how could you..."

He trailed off, his head drooping.

He was well aware of the principle "new ruler, new officials."

With the change in the highest leadership, since President Ou was left by President Jiang, it was expected that President Yue would want to cultivate her own forces.

Yan Yueqing laughed heartily, "President Zhou is younger and stronger than President Ou; staying at Xingyue for a few more years shouldn’t be an issue. As for President Ou, he has other arrangements and won’t stay long at Xingyue. President Jiang actually misses him quite a bit."

Is this to say that Ouyang Long will soon be joining President Jiang?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jue breathed a sigh of relief and spoke candidly, "In that case, this is indeed the best arrangement for President Ou! Among the veterans left by President Jiang, those who had to leave have left, and only President Ou still had some contact with President Jiang, staunchly remaining here. At the last social he got drunk and leaned on my shoulder, saying he’d rather leave Xingyue and be a nobody at President Jiang’s side! I didn’t expect... for his wish to come true so soon!"

Yan Yueqing smiled without speaking.

Ouyang Long was indeed not bad, but the Jiang Family headquarters rarely recruited people from other regions.

Now that there was an intention to develop in Hua Country, President Ou, an old businessman soaked in the Hua Country market for many years, could naturally play a bigger role.

Teacher Jiang had not mentioned Ouyang Long before Yan Yueqing had already intended to send him to the Jiang Family for training before returning; but after Teacher Jiang took the initiative to mention his name, Yan Yueqing felt even more that her line of thought was correct.

A company doesn’t need too many factions and conflicts.

After Feng Long’s faction fell and President Ou was transferred away, Xingyue would be left with only Zhou Jue’s voice.

As long as he was firmly in her grasp, there wouldn’t be anything troublesome here.

However, such extensive delegating of power could also give rise to problems.

The biggest variable was the human heart!

But if Yan Yueqing dared to entrust Zhongxing to Director Tang with peace of mind, she naturally dared to try delegating Xingyue to Zhou Jue.

The two were of the same ilk; even if she was wrong, she had ways to take back everything of Xingyue.

Appropriate empowerment was a kind of strategy.

Both Teacher Jiang and the system had taught her a lot on this lesson.

Now, she was quite skillful in employing it!

Look, Zhou Jue could barely contain his tears!

Fortunately, the door was knocked twice.

Zhou Jue quickly held back his tears, "It must be President Ou with Xue Yi."

As he said this, he went to open the door.

Yan Yueqing said, "Please take a seat, President Zhou. In the future, all these matters will be handled by you, I was just setting an example."

President Yue wants me to listen in!

President Yue wants to set an example for me!!

Zhou Jue, brimming with elation, opened the door, then trotted back and sat down.

Just like a child who had just turned in a perfect score, he sat up straight, waiting for the teacher’s praise.

Ouyang Long and Xue Yi entered, one after the other.

Earlier in the underground garage, with dim lighting, Yan Yueqing had not taken a careful look.

Now, under the incandescent lights of the conference room, she took a good look at Xue Yi’s appearance.

Sitting in the chair, he had the look of a little white flower battered by wind and rain, with exquisitely delicate features shrouded by an almost shattered expression.

A white shirt and blue jeans, the simplest pairing, made his fluffy hair seem quite aloof.

At first glance, Yan Yueqing could determine—Xue Yi indeed had a deep connection to Si Younian.

Both had a Taoist aura, seemingly oblivious to worldly affairs, and looked at everyone with an expression akin to pitying all living beings.

But Si Younian was lofty and god-like.

Xue Yi, however, had been truly dragged down to hell by demons!

That divine aura was worn thin by time and life, replaced by a vulnerable, brittle struggle.

Like a deity fallen into mire, frantically reaching out to you, yet fearful that his own dirt would soil your eyes.

Emotions tangled to the extreme, the sharpness worn by life evened out to become the red mark at the corner of the doe-like eyes, like wings broken.

Yan Yueqing liked him more the more she saw.

No wonder Feng Hong couldn’t let go of Xue Yi, going against him several times and still scheming to get him.

Such a rarity wouldn’t just turn heads at a banquet; even in a bar, it could make everyone go wild.

"Why don’t I have money?! If I did, I can’t imagine how bad I’d become!"
