Asha was very curious about her new brother. She even stared at Xin Qing's stomach for a long time.
"Asha, he's not the one in mommy's stomach." Xin Qing laughed. "Xiao Rui used to stay at your Aunt Mi's house because of his special relationship with her. Why don't we bring him home now?"
"We have to bring him back! We have to bring him back! " Asha nodded vigorously. She took Xiao Rui's hand and said, "Don't hit me, little brother. I'll sleep with you tonight!"
Xunxun glanced at Xiao Rui and chuckled. "Your bed is too small. It can't fit so many people. Besides, Xiao Rui is a boy. He should have his own room. "
"The room is ready-made," Xin Qing said. "There's an extra nursery set aside before this. Xiao Rui can just move in directly." Xin Qing thought for a moment and then said to Young Master Shen, "Help me get a worker to install a nursery!"
"Okay. I'll send someone over tomorrow." Young Master Shen was completely relieved when he saw how proactive Xin Qing was. "Anam wants me to ask you when you're going to hold the press conference. The news is already spreading like wildfire. As the CEO of Xin Enterprises, you have to show your face."
Xin Qing held Asha in her arms and held Xiao Rui's hand. She felt all her courage return. Xiao Rui suddenly scratched her palm. Xin Qing lowered her head to look at him.
"Ma... Mommy, let me go with you. I'll study hard." Xiao Rui looked at her with his pure eyes.
This child was very thoughtful. If it had been anyone else, they would have doubted the child's motives. After all, he was adopted. The Ying family was so big that it would inevitably face the problem of inheritance in the future. But Xiao Rui was so direct that he offered his heart to Xin Qing.
"Thank you!" Xin Qing looked at him with the same sincere gaze. "Well then, I'll have to trouble you from now on, Xiao Rui!"
Only then did Xiao Rui smile faintly. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Asha also shouted, "Asha will also study hard to help Mommy!"
Xin Qing pinched her little nose. "Asha, you don't have to. Asha is our little princess. You can do whatever you like!"
"Be good, I'll help Mommy." Xunxun took Xin Qing from Xin Qing's arms. "School is about to start. Your and Xiao Rui's current mission is to study hard."
Xin Qing glanced at the date. It was almost summer vacation, and Caesar Academy's enrollment should be starting soon.
"Ask Anam to arrange for a press conference next Monday. How's the progress of the Caesar project?"
Seeing that she was interested, Childe Shen suggested, "Do you want to go to the company tomorrow?"
"That's good too. I'll go to the company every afternoon in the future. Speaking of management, I have to learn from Anam!"
Xin Qing was a woman of her words. She really pulled herself together. The next day, she went to the company. With Anam and Monica by her side, she held a meeting with the employees of Xin Enterprises for the first time as the chairman.
When they returned to the office, Xin Qing asked Anam worriedly, "How was my performance just now?"
Anam smiled and said, "Young Miss, you did very well!"
"Yeah, yeah! Much better than I expected. "Monica helped Xin Qing sit down." Don't stand. You'll get tired later. "
After Xin Qing sat down, she froze for a moment. Then, she slowly reached out and touched the table.
Anam and Monica did not dare to say anything. Anam regretted it very much. He should have moved to another office. Xin Qing must have thought of the young master again.
Two photos were placed on the corner of the table. One was a picture of Xin Qing alone. The other was a picture of the family of three at the racecourse with Xiao Bai's horse. In the photo, Ying Qingcang was holding Asha. She leaned into Ying Qingcang's arms and smiled like a flower.
"Xin Qing … We didn't think about it carefully. We'll move you to another office tomorrow," Monica said worriedly as she looked at her.
"Why do you have to move?" Xin Qing looked up and smiled. "This is where A Cang works. From now on, it will also be where I work." She lowered her head and touched the photo as she whispered in her heart.
A Cang, you'll stay with me, right? You'll watch me grow. Then, one day, you'll appear in front of me and tell me, 'My girl has grown up!'
I'll wait and look forward to that day …
The main renovation of Caesar Academy had been completed last month. The interior renovation would be completed by the end of the month as well. Xin Qing decided to hold a press conference on the day the renovation was completed. The venue was set to be inside Caesar Academy.
Xin Enterprises' PR released the news immediately. The reporters began to speculate. Many industry insiders, including those in the industry, held a wait-and-see attitude towards the change of ownership of Ying clan. Xin Qing learned how to manage the company from Anam and Monica every day. Practice was the best mentor. She personally participated in every decision and Xin Qing quickly got the hang of it. Even Monica praised her for her talent. Other than her lack of experience and her lack of foresight in investment, she was becoming more and more like a decision-maker in other aspects.
"Ah Qing, I've decided to stay and help you!" Zhang Mi looked at her seriously after dinner.
Xin Qing's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but she was still very thin. Because she hadn't eaten properly before, her face was even sharper than before she was pregnant. She was struggling with a bowl of chicken soup. This was the daily task given to her by Auntie Tian.
"You're not going back to New York? Then … does Uncle Shen agree? "
"Childe Shen can't leave now either. He's worried about you being alone. If I go back, I'll be living separately. The old man can't wait for me to stay!" Zhang Mi said excitedly. "From tomorrow onwards, I'll be your personal assistant!"
Childe Shen came back at this time. Behind him was a disheveled Xiao Rui.
"Don't cause trouble. Do you think being an assistant is a game?" He lowered his head and kissed Zhang Mi. Zhang Mi pushed him away. "Don't underestimate me!"
Xin Qing stared at Xiao Rui worriedly. "It's the same thing again. Hurry up and go upstairs to shower and change your clothes. Then come down for dinner!" Xin Qing had wanted to tag along, but Xiao Rui refused to shower with her no matter what.
After Xiao Rui left, Childe Shen said, "This child is a genius. In a few years, no one under me will be a match for him."
"I don't want him to work so hard. He's still a child." Xin Qing's heart ached. Xiao Rui was the one who suggested that Childe Shen train him. Xin Qing knew that the child did it for her sake.
Childe Shen glared at her. "Don't be soft-hearted. This child is going to be amazing in the future!"
"I adopted him so that he can grow up healthy and happy. It's not because he's going to be amazing." Xin Qing said unhappily. Zhang Mi nodded. "That's right. Children should behave like children. Look at our children. Is there any one of them who's normal? "
Childe Shen did not say anything. He lowered his head and ate. He could not afford to offend these two women.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month. Early in the morning, Ah Chul picked up Xin Qing and arrived at Caesar. Zhang Mi accompanied her.
Xin Qing wore a red dress. Even her lipstick was red. This was the first time she wore such a heavy color. In Zhang Mi's words, red could make people look imposing. Caesar Academy was located at the easternmost part of the development zone. The entire academy was built against a mountain. Unlike the headquarters in France, other than the European architecture, Caesar Academy also incorporated many Eastern elements. Various antique buildings and Western Gothic buildings were perfectly combined. The entire academy was majestic, yet mysterious and beautiful.
The press conference was held in the garden in the middle of the academy. The reporters arrived early. Xin Qing was not surprised to see Smith among the guests. Anam had contacted him before, but Smith's attitude had always been ambiguous. He had not expressed his opinion on whether or not he wanted to continue working with Xin Enterprises. Xin Qing knew that he was observing. Today was the day he would make a decision.
According to the prepared speech, Xin Qing's magnanimity and beauty won the applause of the entire hall. When it was time for questions and answers, aside from the reporters, one of the business partners suddenly spoke up.
"President Xin, we think it's problematic for a woman to be at the helm of such a large financial group. Therefore, we've decided to stop working with Xin Qing from today onwards." The other party was a middle-aged woman. She looked at Xin Qing with jealousy and pride.
Zhang Mi was right beside Xin Qing. She glanced worriedly at Childe Shen, who was below the stage. The latter gave her a reassuring look.
"Are you sure?" Xin Qing asked with a smile.
The woman's face fell. "Of course. I believe that many companies have the same thoughts as me. They don't have confidence in your financial group."
"You are …" Xin Qing took the documents from Anam and skimmed through them. "You're from Hongyuan Trading, right?" Xin Qing glanced at her. "Your company and Xin Enterprises have always been on a monthly basis. We've never missed a payment."
The woman smiled smugly. "That's right. If President Xin still wants to continue working with us, then you'll have to change your payment to an immediate one. Every payment must be made on the spot."
"Haha!" Xin Qing smiled back at her. "In that case, I don't think there's any need for us to continue working together." After saying that, she sat down and glanced at Anam. Anam nodded.
"Do you have any other questions?"
The woman shouted indignantly. "Woman, you don't know anything. If you don't want to work with us, you can go find a business partner for the time being. If your export orders are delayed, you'll lose more than just money! "
"You're the one I don't understand." Xin Qing looked at her coldly. "Fifty percent of your company's sales come from Xin Enterprises. Now that you want to stop working with us, I'd like to ask you where you're going to find a business partner who can take up half of your production."
"I …"
"Do whatever you want!" Xin Qing smirked. "Xin Enterprises is a big company. You won't be the last one. Even if you don't show up, there are plenty of people who will." Xin Qing glanced around the hall. "Is there anyone else who wants to terminate our partnership? Step forward! "
Many people in the hall began to whisper. The woman who stood up first winked at a few people. Just as those people hesitated and were about to stand up, a few more people walked into the hall.
"The Đinh Clan will sign a partnership agreement with Xin Enterprises. Other than the current Caesar Academy, we will provide any future investments Xin Enterprises makes free of charge." Ding Lei walked at the front. His words spread clearly throughout the hall.
"The same goes for the Li Financial Group!" Chen Ming said behind him. He even winked at Xin Qing.
Smith suddenly stood up as well. "Our business partners in the Greater China region will not change. We will continue to work with Xin Enterprises. I hope that President Xin will honor us with a meal one day. It'll be good for our friendship! "
The few people who were ready to make a move immediately became obedient and nodded. The woman who stood up first turned pale. She blurted out, "You … How can you go back on your word?"
