Chapter 26: New Boss From Nowhere
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ocean Manor.
Business elites in black suits filled the rows of benches outside.
Inside, the managers were all called to the lounge.
A middle-aged man sitting in the first seat on the left said, “I heard that we have a new chairman here? If you ask me, a boss like this—with no qualifications, experience or strategies—will only cause the company to decline, right?”
“That’s right, I thought that this position was yours, Brother Yang! After all, whether it’s experience or qualifications, it should be you! You’ve been here for almost 20 years, right?”
A young man wearing a branded watch said.
“I think Yu Xiong is right. I think this new boss got in through the back door, right? A rich second-generation heir should just be a rich second-generation heir. Why did he come up with such a crazy idea?”
A brown-haired man glanced at his watch and said, “Our Ocean Manor isn’t a small company! If something goes wrong, won’t we lose our jobs? Besides, how long has it been? The new boss isn’t here yet?”
A man sitting opposite him said, “I’m afraid he’s still in the company of women, right? We can’t expect a rich second-generation heir to be punctual. It’s good enough if he’s able to come today. Just don’t make us wait for nothing.”
“That’s right! We’ve been sitting here for almost half a day, but we still haven’t seen the person. Is the old butler trying to trick us? My butt is numb from sitting here!”
“If that’s the case, he’s just messing with us! I had to put aside my work to be here! I’m praying the new boss will come quickly and meet us, and get this over and done with!”
…
Rumblings of dissatisfaction could be heard.
Yang Yanhuai smiled smugly. This was what he wanted. He was the first person to know that the new boss was very young. If the new boss had been selected from among them, he would not be so opposed to the appointment.
But he had to be a rich second-generation heir with no known credentials!
“On what merit?”?he thought.
He had dedicated most of his life to Ocean Manor. He had been working conscientiously, producing error-free work for so many years. He practically treated this place as his second home!
When the company was scouting for a new boss, he thought that his chance had come. All things considered, he was the most suitable candidate. His colleagues thought so too. They had prepared a celebratory feast, only to learn that the candidate had already been selected!
A rich second-generation heir from nowhere.
Yang Yanhuai found it hard to accept that this person did not have to do anything to land the position that he himself had dreamed of.
So he was only too happy to incite negative reactions towards the new boss to take him down a notch!
“Perhaps the new boss will feel wronged and leave,”?he thought.
“At that time, I may even have a chance to assume that position!”
His smile widened as he said with feigned awkwardness, “I know everyone is not happy, but since the higher-ups have made this decision, we should just go along with it!”
He suddenly sighed. “Well, I just don’t want to see Ocean Manor, which we’ve been working so hard for, go downhill. Wouldn’t that be a waste of our hard work? Which one of you here doesn’t regard this place as a second home?”
“I don’t think a playboy can manage this place well! Therefore, I, Yu Xiong, will be the first to object to the new boss! Don’t you all think so?”
Yu Xiong had worked for Yang Yanhuai for so many years, so he was naturally partial towards him.
The people sitting in the first few rows echoed his sentiments.
“That’s right, that’s right! If we give the Manor to an outsider so casually, we might as well go on strike!”
“In my opinion, we should just go on strike. I wonder what the higher-ups were thinking? They had to hand over a good company to a rich second-generation heir!”
“I object too!”
…
By contrast, the people sitting at the back watched on without saying a word.
Seeing that his words were quite effective , Yu Xiong continued, “If it’s Brother Yang, I’ll support him. After all, if we’re talking about the most qualified candidate, isn’t Brother Yang the most well-deserving?!”
Before he could finish speaking, the white-haired butler walked in and said solemnly, “The new boss is here. You should know what you can and cannot say later, right?”
Everyone fell silent.
The old butler glanced at them, turned around, and said, “Follow me!”
They all stood up and followed the old butler.
They went straight to the office.
The old butler knocked on the door. A young man’s voice could be heard. “Come in.”
He opened the door and led the way inside.
Without looking up, he bowed and said respectfully, “Mr. Lu, everyone is here.”
He then introduced the new chairman. “Meet our new chairman, Mr. Lu Ming.”
They widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw Old Gu’s respectful attitude.
They knew that the new boss was a young man!
Even so, he seemed a little too young.
He looked like he had just graduated from university!
Yang Yanhuai clenched his fists in defiance.?“I’d actually lost to a greenhorn?”?he thought.
This made him even more displeased.
The old butler happened to see the Tang family’s cufflink on Lu Ming. He lowered his head, his eyes filled with shock!
He could hardly believe his eyes.
The new chairman had something from the Tang family!
The Tang family!
An influential family that many people could not even hope to establish contact with!
The Tang family had an unfathomable overseas Chinese background!
The old butler had been here for very long and was well acquainted with the power of the Tang family.
It seemed to the butler that this new boss was not that simple after all! That settled any reservations he had about the boss’s credentials.
Yu Xiong did not hide his dissatisfaction at all as he said, “I object! The new boss is too young, and he doesn’t know anything. I hope he knows his limits and voluntarily steps down!”
Yang Yanhuai added, “I also hope that the new boss will voluntarily step down!”
“Me too!”
…
In response to this agenda to force him to step down. Lu Ming looked like he was enjoying a good show.
The old butler said with an angry expression, “Mr. Lu is a friend of the Tang family.”
Everyone fell silent.
Obviously, they did not dare to offend the Tang family.
Lu Ming was a little surprised. This old butler was very adaptable.
“Give me the recent business information.”
One of the managers quickly took some information from the adjacent office and passed it to Lu Ming.
Not surprisingly, Lu Ming saw two familiar names.
On the other side.
Lu Yaohua, who was wearing a custom-made suit, and Tang Wenyi, who was dressed luxuriously, appeared at the entrance of the manor. Their faces were beaming with joy.
They were here to take on the Victor brothers!
