Chapter 1749: Showing Off One's Power, and Showing It Off Way Too Much

Her husband was comforting her; how could she not know that?

She said, "If it were just the two of us at home, of course I wouldn't be anxious, but there is still our son. If the company collapses, what will happen to our son in the future?"

At this moment, their son pushed the door open and walked in: "Mom, don't worry. Even if the company is gone, I will still live very well, and I can take care of you and Dad."

"That's right, we can afford to support you." Su Qiangying also followed along.

"Why did you come back? Go busy yourselves with your own affairs; you don't need to worry about company matters." Jian Yixin felt disappointed when her son didn't return, but now that he really had, she was shooing them away again.

This time, Jian Yixin was treating everyone equally; she wanted to drive away both her son and her daughter-in-law.

"Are you looking down on us, or are you looking down on me?" Su Qiangying pointed it out directly.

"I'm looking down on both of you. You have no experience at all; coming here is just a hindrance to me."

Jian Yixin didn't hold back either.

Sheng Zerong was responsible for smoothing things over: "The two children mean well; just let them stay. The family business will eventually be handed over to our son anyway; consider this as letting them get some practice now."

She thought for a moment, and that was true too.

Then let them stay. Since the two of them had no experience, they could just sit in the office. Even if her son couldn't help, it would make her feel better just seeing him.

Moli was fine; he was very obedient. He did whatever his mother told him to do, and he didn't do anything he wasn't allowed to.

But Su Qiangying was different; she always wanted to find a sense of presence. If there was no work for her to do, she would become incredibly anxious.

Finally, the opportunity arrived.

Jian Yixin went to the Ginza Building for a meeting. Who knows what she was thinking, but she took Moli with her, leaving only Su Qiangying alone to watch over the office.

She sat in Jian Yixin's chair, touching this and looking at that, feeling very happy!

Finally, she was the one in charge of this office. Besides, it was just signing a document; what was so impressive about that?

Yet Moli's mother was always guarding against her, not letting her touch the documents.

Su Qiangying was dissatisfied, but she hadn't had a chance to show her worth. Now, the opportunity had come.

At this moment, the Secretary walked in with a document, saw that the Chairman was not in the office, and turned to leave.

"I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

"Come back!"

Su Qiangying was displeased: "What do you mean by that? You turn and leave the moment you see me. Am I a tiger? Could I possibly eat you? What are you holding in your hand? Let me see."

The Secretary looked troubled: "This... is that appropriate?"

"It's a very important document; I'd better wait for the Chairman to return before submitting it."

If she hadn't said that second half, she could have just taken it out, and Su Qiangying wouldn't have said anything. But the expression on the Secretary's face and her hesitant attitude clearly showed a lack of trust and a failure to take her seriously, which made Su Qiangying very angry.

"Are you doubting my ability, or what?"

"No..."

The Secretary only said one word before she couldn't continue. Of course she was doubting her ability; did that even need to be asked?

But when put on the spot, this question was truly difficult to answer.

Su Qiangying's competitive nature stirred. She commanded: "Leave the document here; I'll take a look."

She was the fiancée of the company's crown prince, so the Secretary didn't dare to offend her. Although still reluctant, she put the document down.

Su Qiangying opened it and glanced through it roughly, thinking to herself, it's very simple, what's so difficult about this?

She had seen Jian Yixin sign many similar documents.

She closed the document and continued to enjoy being alone in the office... no, wait, the Secretary was still there!

"Why haven't you left yet? Is something the matter?"

"Yes, do you know when the Chairman will be back? This document urgently needs a signature; it's very important."

"I don't know." Su Qiangying shook her head; she really didn't know.

The Secretary paced the office in a panic: "Heavens, what should I do, what should I do? It's very important, and President Zhang is still waiting..."

Su Qiangying felt dizzy from watching her pace, so she spoke up: "You're so stupid, why don't you just call her?"

The Secretary retorted: "If the Chairman's phone could be reached, do you think I'd need your reminder?"

Su Qiangying felt uncomfortable after being snapped at, and the Secretary began to mutter incessantly: "I'm worried to death. At a critical moment, not a single person who can make decisions for the company is here, and Young Master Moli isn't here either..."

She asked: "Is Moli's signature also valid?"

"Of course it's valid."

"What about my signature?"

The Secretary hesitated slightly, then said firmly: "Your signature is also valid. Any signature that leaves the Chairman's office is effective. However, you should be cautious; if a mistake occurs, you won't be able to bear the responsibility..."

It should have been good advice, but the Secretary's tone was so condescending that she might as well have said "you aren't worthy" directly.

Deep down, that little spark of unwillingness to lose flared up.

Almost without thinking, in a moment of heat, Su Qiangying opened the document and scribbled her name on the signature line!

"Thwack!" She handed the document over: "Take it away."

"Thank you, President Su."

The Secretary bowed happily and buttered her up without leaving a trace: "You've helped me a great deal."

The Secretary left happily, and Su Qiangying was also very pleased, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

But she didn't stay happy for long before Jian Yixin returned.

Jian Yixin threw the document in front of her: "You signed this?"

"Yes, I saw the Secretary was in a hurry and couldn't reach you by phone, so I signed it. Is there a problem?"

"A problem? Heh..."

Jian Yixin was so angry she laughed. She pointed at the document and asked: "Do you know how much loss your 'Su Qiangying' signature has caused the company?"

"Over ten million, not counting the subsequent returns. Once this precedent is set, what am I supposed to do in the future? Who is going to clean up this mess? You go do it; since you're so capable and dared to sign this, you can clean up this mess..."

Moli kept nudging her waist, telling her to apologize to her mother.

Moli whispered, "Don't be stubborn. You were wrong this time. Apologize, say a few soft words, and stop holding out."

She refused; she was determined not to apologize!

Sheng Zerong, meanwhile, was persuading his wife: "Let it go. The child is young and doesn't know any better. Don't be angry; if you ruin your health, there will be even fewer people to manage the company..."

Jian Yixin roared at her husband: "How can I not be angry? If it were normal times, losing ten million or so wouldn't be a big deal, but the situation is already dire. She went and opened this breach; what is the company supposed to do in the future? Our decades of hard work, plus the efforts of several generations of ancestors—a century-old foundation—is it going to be ruined in her hands..."

Even now, Su Qiangying still does not know where she went wrong.

Usually, when she and Jian Yixin had conflicts, Moli and his son would just smooth things over and mediate between both sides, but this time they didn't!

Both Moli and his son stood on Jian Yixin's side, telling Su Qiangying to apologize and saying that what she did in this matter was too inappropriate and too arbitrary.

Although she felt guilty, she remained stubborn: "I'll solve the trouble I caused. I'll go talk to President Zhang right now and say that my signature doesn't count."

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the office to find President Zhang, and that is exactly what she said.

But the result was not what she had imagined.
