Chapter 129: She Wants to Be the Helmsman

Bai Shuruo was shocked herself.

The others all looked at Bai Shuruo.

Jiani was the first to express her disapproval: "Are you talking about the eldest sister-in-law? The eldest sister-in-law only just graduated from university, and she has only worked as an assistant at the company for less than a month. Can she be competent for this job?"

Han Ketian also said: "Auntie, have you lost your mind because of what happened to the eldest brother? How can you let a fledgling young girl take on such an important position?"

Ms. Qu mocked: "Sister-in-law, do you think this is an emperor choosing an heir? Nepotism is one thing, but the most important thing in company management is talent. Ruoruo is just a little girl, and she studied design; she doesn't have much work experience. You want her to do these things?"

Ye Caiyue smiled: "Calling it an emperor's heir is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is the company's heir. Have you ever seen a company choose an heir from anywhere other than their own family? Back then, when my Han Dongbei just walked away and went to Africa to watch lions, wasn't it me who had to bite the bullet and step up? At that time, let alone work experience, I didn't even understand what a company was. Ruoruo at least has a year of work experience, and she has worked in the company, so she is the most suitable person to be the helmsman."

Han Dongbei felt his face sting.

Ms. Qu looked at the bewildered Bai Shuruo and said: "Sister-in-law, you are you; you had the courage back then, but isn't Ruoruo too gentle?"

Consequently, everyone's gaze returned to Bai Shuruo.

Ye Caiyue insisted: "Ruoruo is gentle on the surface, but she is a child with a very strong sense of purpose. The key is whether she is willing. Ruoruo, you are Yangting's wife. Now that something has happened to him, someone must do his work. Are you willing to take on this responsibility? When he wakes up one day, he will definitely be grateful to you."

Bai Shuruo couldn't worry about so much at that moment. The people from the Second Branch had come over wanting to seize power, and Ye Caiyue was supporting her so strongly; if she didn't step up now, she would be letting down Ye Caiyue's painstaking efforts.

"Mother, I am willing to take on this responsibility as Acting President. When Brother Han wakes up, I will return this position to him."

Ye Caiyue was very satisfied with Bai Shuruo's answer. She nodded, "Good. In two days, you go to work at the company with Ali. I will be here at the hospital; I will definitely look after Yangting well."

Bai Shuruo nodded, "I will listen to Mother's arrangements."

The people from the Second Branch all found it ridiculous. Han Chunqiu scoffed: "Sister-in-law, if you do it this way, the company will sooner or later be ruined in her hands."

Ye Caiyue also sneered: "I had a hand in the company's growth back then. Even if it is ruined in the future, it will be ruined in my hands. I am willing."

"You are simply playing a child's game. Even if you don't want us to manage the company, you shouldn't find such a girl!" Han Chunqiu roared angrily.

Moreover, they no longer intended to care about the patient inside.

"Since you have everything arranged, then we in the Second Branch don't need to worry about anything anymore. You all can fend for yourselves!"

The people from the Second Branch left in a huff, leaving Ye Caiyue, Han Dongbei, and Bai Shuruo in the reception room.

Bai Shuruo was a bit uncertain, so she confirmed with Ye Caiyue: "Mother, what you just said is true? Do you really want me to be the Acting President?"

Ye Caiyue nodded: "That's right, I'm not joking."

"Do you really trust that I can do it well?"

"It's all learned through practice." Ye Caiyue glanced at Han Dongbei beside her and added: "Your situation won't be harder than mine was back then. I went up under the reputation of a discarded wife; at least you are not."

Han Dongbei was brought up and mocked again, but he was already used to it.

Instead, he encouraged Bai Shuruo: "Ruoruo, just go ahead and do it boldly. Your mother and I are here at the hospital; we will take good care of Yangting."

Bai Shuruo nodded.

In the afternoon, she went to visit Han Yangting, and Bai Shuruo held his hand and said a lot of things.

"Brother Han, I know my ability is far from enough, and I certainly cannot be competent for your position, but Mother trusts me, and this position cannot fall into the hands of others. So, for the next period of time, I cannot stay in the hospital from morning till night, but don't worry, I will still come to see you every day. I also hope you wake up sooner; I don't want to bear so much alone. These are all your responsibilities..."

That afternoon, Han Yangting was still lying quietly, without any movement.

So Bai Shuruo doubted again whether she had seen wrong in the morning.

In the evening, Ali, Ling Feng, and Bai Shunan all came.

ICU visitation opportunities were precious, so Ling Feng and Bai Shunan did not come to snatch these opportunities. They came to care for the patient's family; if the patient's family couldn't hold on, the patient inside would hold on even less.

Ali whispered his report to Ye Caiyue: "Madam, this incident with Mr. Han was not an accident; someone had plotted it two months ago. Li Meng was acting under someone's instructions, but it passed through several hands, including Li Meng's fellow villager and the fellow villager's former cellmate. These people have already gone abroad, but based on the clues, I suspect it was done by Han Chunqiu. It's just that there is no evidence."

Ye Caiyue said: "Since he was determined to harm Yangting, how could he leave any evidence?"

She then took a breath: "I really didn't expect that those living in the same Manor, people with blood relations, would actually want to put us to death."

Ling Feng and Bai Shunan were comforting Bai Shuruo on the side.

Bai Shunan said: "Ruoruo, you must be careful in Beishi from now on. If the people from the Second Branch could harm Brother Han, they could harm you too."

Bai Shuruo nodded and said: "I know."

Ling Feng said to Bai Shunan: "Don't worry, Ali and I have already found people to secretly protect Ruoruo; she won't have any trouble."

Bai Shunan took Bai Shuruo's hand again and said: "Ruoruo, I am going back to Fengcheng tomorrow. You are going to take office at Baiyin Group. This position must be full of challenges, but your sister believes you can be competent."

It would be a lie to say Bai Shuruo wasn't nervous. She gripped Bai Shunan's hand tighter, "Sister, are you going back so soon?"

Bai Shunan brushed the bangs on Bai Shuruo's forehead behind her ear and added: "There is no banquet in the world that doesn't come to an end. But I will come to see you whenever I have time. As for you, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. After all, I am also a boss now, right? Although my company is not as big as Brother Han's, I still know quite a few things."

Bai Shuruo's eyes turned red, and she nodded again: "Okay, Sister."

That evening, Bai Shuruo reluctantly bid farewell to Bai Shunan and Ling Feng.

Thinking of the unconscious Han Yangting and the things she had to do next, she only felt her mind was a mess, like a ball of yarn, unable to untangle the beginning or the end.

But no matter how tangled it was, she had to untangle it bit by bit.

Three days later, Bai Shuruo arrived at the company as the Acting President.

Now Ali had become her Special Assistant, following her to work.

After getting out of the car, Bai Shuruo's heart was extremely anxious. Without needing to think, she knew that the people in the company would not submit to a fledgling girl like her.

"Young Mistress, let's go up." Ali saw her dazed and couldn't help but remind her.

Bai Shuruo took a deep breath and said: "I'm going up now."
