Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Du Xiaojuan brought Wang Dashan to the conference room.

All the executives had already arrived.

But Ji Xunrong had not arrived yet.

Fang Dayong, sitting on the lower left, laughed and asked Du Xiaojuan at this moment:

"General Manager Du, didn't you say you had an important matter to announce?"

Du Xiaojuan was expressionless:

"No rush, wait for Young Master Ji to arrive before speaking. He came to the company today, so it's impossible not to wait for him."

Fang Dayong chuckled: "Right, right."

Du Xiaojuan had indeed said there was an important matter to announce; originally she planned to announce the removal of Fang Dayong's position at this meeting, using this method to severely strike at Ji Xunrong.

As for the reason for removal, Du Xiaojuan had long since thought it up.

Fang Dayong abused his power for personal gain, accepting huge bribes from upstream and downstream partners; Du Xiaojuan held evidence of all this, just waiting for the critical moment to reveal it and give Fang Dayong a heavy blow.

Unexpectedly, before the meeting started, she had already been forced by Ji Xunrong to take the initiative to withdraw from the company; under these circumstances, going to punish Fang Dayong would already be meaningless.

Because Zhonghai Group holds real shares in Xiao Du Technology, striking down Fang Dayong would only cause Zhonghai Group to send a new person over, and cannot directly kick Zhonghai Group out.

It would not cause any loss to Ji Xunrong either.

Moreover, she could not use Fang Dayong to threaten Ji Xunrong; Ji Xunrong absolutely would not change his plan to swallow Xiao Du Technology in one gulp just because of a single person like Fang Dayong.

So at this time, Du Xiaojuan could only change her plan.

She not only would not clean up Fang Dayong, but on the contrary, at this final moment, she would promote Fang Dayong!

Just then, Ji Xunrong arrived.

"General Manager Ji!"

"Young Master Ji!"

Everyone stood up one after another.

Before Ji Xunrong, they behaved with utmost respect.

These high-level board members were all shrewd operators; they had probably long sniffed out the scent, knowing Ji Xunrong would take over Xiao Du Technology, so their attitude toward Ji Xunrong was even more submissive, even more humble than toward Du Xiaojuan.

At the scene, only Du Xiaojuan still sat in her original seat, not moving an inch.

Ji Xunrong glanced at Du Xiaojuan:

"General Manager Du, isn't there an important matter to announce? My time is precious; you just get straight to the point."

Ji Xunrong casually found a seat and sat down.

But the magnetic field of everyone present immediately revolved around him.

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Two matters. First, I announce that I will resign from the position of Executive Director, to be replaced by Fang Dayong, who will preside over company work."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed different expressions.

There was surprise, astonishment, regret, and also schadenfreude with sneaking laughter.

"General Manager Du, this won't do; you are the pillar of the company."

Fang Dayong was the one sneaking laughter, but he still feigned concern with a sentence.

"The decision I've made will not change." Du Xiaojuan coldly spoke this sentence, not even glancing at Fang Dayong, and continued:

"Second matter: I will sell all shares in my hands to Young Master Ji; from now on everyone's work will revolve around Young Master Ji, revolve around Zhonghai Group; I will completely withdraw from Xiao Du Technology's operations and management."

When this second piece of news came out, the people below were even more astonished.

"General Manager Du, think thrice!"

One board member, named Yang Jianzhou, was considered a veteran; he had experienced ups and downs together with Du Xiaojuan, so at this time he couldn't help but advise with this sentence.

Because he knew, Xiao Du Technology without Du Xiaojuan was equivalent to Alibaba without Ma Yun, Tencent without Ma Huateng — the company losing its soul figure, the aftermath would absolutely change flavor and then rapidly head toward decline.

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"I've thought it through clearly; I won't say more; that's it. The following meeting will be presided over by Young Master Ji and General Manager Fang for everyone!"

After speaking these words, Du Xiaojuan stood up and left.

She did it cleanly and neatly, without any dragging of feet.

She is this kind of person: if she feels something can be fought for, she will definitely spare no effort to fight for it; if she feels it cannot be fought for, she will cut through the mess with a sharp knife and make a decision swiftly.

Before, when Chen Qiang just brought in Zhonghai Group to deal with her, she felt she could use Zhonghai Group to counter Chen Qiang, so she strove hard for it.

Now it is this colossus Zhonghai Group that wants to drive her away, and she cannot bring in other big capital in a short time; plus this beast Ji Xunrong does things without scruples, she doesn't want to implicate her family, so naturally she decisively takes the money and exits the stage, to maximize her own benefit.

Not to mention she can't fight Zhonghai Group; even if she could, killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred herself is unnecessary.

She has already earned enough money.

Besides, now Kuaishou and Douyin these short video software have emerged out of nowhere, live streaming sales this new model has already appeared; traditional online shopping business has already entered a red ocean stage of stock competition.

Exiting at this time counts as cashing out at a high position, not necessarily a bad thing.

The next entrepreneurship project, actually she has already thought it through: that is to embrace the trend, transform to do short video monetization business.

For the next period of time, Du Xiaojuan on one hand did a good job of work handover, on the other hand connected with Ji Xunrong, getting every penny she should get into her hands!

This exit, Du Xiaojuan earned a lifetime's worth, no, several lifetimes' worth of money that couldn't be spent.

But for a person of her level, money is actually really just a number.

More than that, it's about gaining a sense of achievement during the process of entrepreneurship.

After stepping down from Xiao Du Technology, she didn't rush to launch a second venture; she observed on one hand, and accompanied her family at home on the other.

For her, this was an exceptionally rare period of leisure.

So she must enjoy it properly; once she's enjoyed enough, she'll start entrepreneurship anew.

Ji Xunrong thought that driving away Du Xiaojuan meant total victory.

He returned to Zhonghai Group and reported the situation to his father, Ji Lianhai.

Ji Lianhai listened, yet couldn't be happy at all:

"I understand wanting to merge Xiao Du Technology into Zhonghai Group as a division, but driving away Du Xiaojuan is not the optimal choice."

Ji Xunrong, however, said:

"Dad, I know what you're thinking. Acquiring Xiao Du Technology isn't for long-term development. Next we'll leverage Zhonghai Group's influence to pour resources into Xiao Du Technology and hype it up, driving its stock price to a very high level in a short time, then cash out at the high point and take the money out. Why care about the flood that comes after?"

Hearing this, Ji Lianhai couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he laughed:

"You brat, you've got quite the barbarian's style — my cultivation of you wasn't in vain!"
