Chapter 1548: The Position of Chamber of Commerce President Becomes a Hot Commodity

The house is under construction in an orderly manner.

Sheng Hanyu is gradually shifting the company's work focus outward; he wants to be a true Chairman, only needing to grasp the general direction of the company, while leaving specific affairs to professional managers.

He does not want to manage specific affairs, nor does he want to increase Shi Ran's workload.

Starting this year, Dingsheng Group will no longer continue to expand outward; maintaining the current annual turnover is enough.

Sheng Hanyu's decision is beyond everyone's expectations.

Shi Ran is puzzled; after the meeting, she goes to her father's office and asks him what happened to the company.

Do not hide it from her; if there are difficulties, everyone will solve them together.

Her father says: "There are no difficulties, I just don't want to continue expanding. Don't overthink it; what I said at the meeting is the actual situation."

Shi Ran:...

She says to her father: "Doing business is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. You know this principle, so why do you still want to do this?"

Sheng Hanyu says: "Don't always strive to be number one; being number one is very tiring. Appropriately stepping back or stagnating is not necessarily a bad thing. What people need to learn is not just running for their lives, but also biding their time!"

Shi Ran is very smart, but she does not quite understand her father's words.

Sheng Hanyu indicates that she is still young, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand; she will naturally understand later.

She can be confused for now, but she must obey his decision!

He does what he says; not only does he withdraw from the company and move his office belongings home, but he also resigns from the position of Chamber of Commerce President!

Sheng Hanyu has sat in this position for many years; now that he has suddenly stepped down, everyone is not only surprised but also scrambling, all wanting to be the Chamber of Commerce President.

Upon hearing this news, Ji Yingjie excitedly comes to find her niece and gets straight to the point: "I will be the President. Since Sheng Hanyu doesn't want to be it, he can just give the position to me."

Shi Youxuan dispels this idea with just one sentence.

"You are a foreigner, you can't be it."

Hearing that she cannot be it, Ji Yingjie is not reconciled: "Then let your father be it; he is a Jiangzhou native and has the qualifications."

"My dad won't agree. Isn't it good for people at your age to be stable? Why be so competitive? It's time to step down and let the virtuous take over."

"That's you all, I'm not willing!"

Ji Yingjie says: "I feel like I'm still young. The meaning of my life is to stir things up; if I'm not allowed to stir things up, I might as well just die."

Shi Youxuan:...

Because her niece does not pick up the conversation, she assumes Shi Youxuan has tacitly agreed.

Ji Yingjie says: "It's settled then. When I go back, I'll give the Chairman position to your dad, and your dad will be the President!"

"Listen to me..."

Shi Youxuan does not finish her sentence, as her aunt has already slipped away.

She calls her father: "Dad, do you want to be the Chamber of Commerce President?"

Shi Yucheng refuses directly without even thinking: "I don't want to be that thing; what's the use? It's quite good for me to accompany the children with their homework and tend to flowers, plants, and fish every day."

"Oh, that's fine. My aunt will tell you about this when she gets home; be mentally prepared."

Ji Yingjie goes back and indeed brings up the matter; Shi Yucheng disagrees and says she is stirring up trouble for no reason.

It's not enough to stir up trouble for herself, she has to stir it up for him too?

He is already at a certain age and retired long ago; he has no mood and no desire to be some kind of President!

Ji Yingjie scolds him for being spineless.

Shi Yucheng says if you think someone is capable, go find them; I won't stop you.

The couple starts arguing.

Ji Yingjie says he is heartless; they have been married for so many years, yet he still clings to things from the past.

Her romantic history was rich in the past, but that is all in the past; it was already agreed that no one is allowed to bring up old scores, so why bring it up again? We've been married for so many years, I haven't forced you to do anything or make any contributions to this family, so why won't you do it now that there is this opportunity?

Shi Yucheng says: "I'm not bringing up old scores. You run around outside every day; have you ever taken care of the children? No. Have you ever taken care of me? No."

"The children all say they only have a father and no mother. They don't feel close to you at all in their hearts; do you have no idea about that? They have no maternal love, and you still want them to lose their paternal love too?"

"Money, money, how much money is enough? What is called making a contribution to the family? I take care of the children to solve your worries; that is also a contribution to the family. If you think I can't support the family, you come back; let's see if I can starve you?"

"Hmph, if I won't starve to death, does that mean you're supporting me? I don't need it."

"Don't interfere with my affairs, and I won't interfere with yours. We each do our own thing; if you won't be the President, I can find someone else."

After hitting a wall with her husband, Ji Yingjie prepares to target Shi Ran.

Dingsheng Group.

President Office.

Shi Ran is working when her Secretary comes to report: "President, the Chairman of Ying Tianxia is here to see you."

Ying Tianxia?

Her great-aunt Ji Yingjie's company.

She hurriedly says: "Just say I'm not here."

"Too late, I'm already in." Ji Yingjie walks in swaggeringly and starts complaining as soon as she enters.

"You're just like your mother, heartless. I've been so good to you, yet you don't even want to see me!"

Shi Ran says with a smile: "If you want to talk to me about business, I don't want to see you; if it's for a meal or a chat, I'm willing." Her mother had already warned her, and she guessed that her great-aunt coming to find her was ninety-nine percent related to the Chamber of Commerce President position.

Ji Yingjie rolls her eyes and says with dissatisfaction: "Everyone is quite busy; where would we have time to chat for nothing? Let's talk about business. Your dad won't be this President; how about you do it?"

One hundred percent.

"Sure!" She agrees immediately: "No problem!"

Uh!

Agreeing so readily is not a good thing.

"You agreed?"

"Yes, what reason would I have not to agree? My in-laws are the Yun Family, my godmother is Jian Yixin, my uncle is Sheng Zerong, and my uncle is Jian Yining..."

"Stop, stop."

Ji Yingjie interrupted her: "Do you mean that if you become this Chamber of Commerce President, you will prioritize them whenever there are benefits?"

"Of course, who else would it be?"

Shi Ran said it as if it were a matter of course.

After speaking, she suddenly acted as if she had just realized something: "Right, how could I have forgotten you? You are of course very good to me too, but everything has its degrees of closeness, don't you think..."

What Ji Yingjie feared most was exactly this; she did not want to cultivate her own most powerful competitor.

"Forget it, you had better not be the Chamber of Commerce President."

"Didn't you want me to be?"

"I've changed my mind now, I don't want you to anymore."

Ji Yingjie stood up and was about to leave, and Shi Ran chased after her, saying: "Why don't you reconsider? Don't be in such a hurry to refuse me."

"No need to consider it, I don't want you to be this president. You should just take care of your children; you have two children of your own, a woman should prioritize her family."

Having lived her whole life, this was the first time Ji Yingjie had ever said such words, that a woman should manage the home and prioritize her family.
