Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2668: Chapter 2668: Take Care Of Your Health

”People like Chen Song do not usually leave quietly when their golden goose is taken away from them. That includes his entitled relatives, who likely view the company’s treasury as their own personal bank account. From the way they have behaved within the company so far, we can already guess that this transition will not be easy or peaceful.” Su Yu Hi suggested, his tone laced with caution.

”Let them try to make a scene.” Yu Qi said, her eyes flashing dangerously with a cold, predatory light. ”It will only give me more ammunition and an even better reason to ensure they never find work in this industry again, or in any other industry, for that matter. I will make sure their reputations are as scorched as the earth they leave behind.”

”Oh... But tell me... How exactly did you discover the true extent of Chen Song’s corruption?” Su Yu Hi asked, his curiosity finally getting the better of him.

He leaned forward, resting his chin on his interlaced fingers. Something significant must have happened to cause Yu Qi to make such a decisive and aggressive move so suddenly.

”Well... I went to the greenhouse three days ago. Just for a casual visit to see how the plants were progressing. And someone... a woman from the staff there... came up to me, yelling at the top of her lungs that I was nothing more than a ’kept woman.’ At that time, I was walking with my grandfather. She started insulting both my grandfather and me without a shred of restraint or decency. It continued until Brother Lian arrived and explained to her exactly who I was. She panicked immediately and started apologising once she realised the gravity of her mistake.” Yu Qi began to tell Su Yu Hi the full, frustrating story.

”She came to you and insulted you just like that, without any provocation whatsoever?” Su Yu Hi asked in complete and utter disbelief, his eyebrows shooting up.

”Yeah. She approached me and started berating me, calling me a kept woman in front of everyone present. It continued until Brother Lian intervened. After that, the woman finally knew who I was. Of course, I did not tolerate such disrespectful and unprofessional behaviour. I fired her on the spot and asked Brother Lian to process the termination paperwork immediately.” Yu Qi said, her expression hardening at the bitter memory.

”That is not the end of it, right?” Su Yu Hi chuckled softly, knowing Yu Qi’s life was rarely that simple.

”Yeah... You guessed right. She was making a massive fuss, screaming that we could not fire her because she had a powerful connection within the upper management,” Yu Qi stated.

”What? Did she actually know who you were at that point?” Su Yu Hi asked in a state of confused amusement.

”Yes. She did. She knew I was the owner, yet she still thought her ’connection’ held more weight.” Yu Qi nodded.

”What? The sheer audacity of these people.” Su Yu Hi let out a dry, incredulous laugh.

”She told Brother Lian that she would call her connection right then and there. She even had the nerve to demand that I meet this so-called connection to see who was really in charge.” Yu Qi stated.

”I bet that connection was Chen Song?” Su Yu Hi asked, already connecting the dots in his head.

”Hmm... That’s right. Chen Song is her uncle. And not only that, she did not tell him what she had actually done at all when she called him to the scene.” Yu Qi said.

”Chen Song was probably scared out of his mind when he arrived and saw you standing there.” Su Yu Hi guessed what happened at that time.

”Yeah. Then, when he was told about what his niece had done, Chen Song became even paler, practically translucent.” Yu Qi recalled the visible terror on Chen Song’s face at that time. ”I guessed from Chen Meili’s behaviour that it had to be more than just a single isolated matter. So, I ordered Sister Yingtai to conduct an intensive internal audit to check exactly how many people had been hired under Chen Song’s direct orders. It turned out there were quite a lot of names on that list.”

”Well, Chen Song is certainly bold, I will give him that.” Su Yu Hi commented, shaking his head.

”Yeah. But his boldness ends today. Tomorrow, he and his relatives will learn the hard way that the sky will not always shelter them from the consequences of their actions.” Yu Qi said firmly.

”That’s right. It’s time for a long-overdue cleaning.” Su Yu Hi nodded in agreement.

”Well, enough about that unpleasantness for now. How have you been? You look like you have not left this desk in three days.” Yu Qi observed, her gaze softening as she looked at Su Yu Hi’s tired eyes.

Su Yu Hi offered a weary, self-deprecating smile, gesturing toward the various stacks of folders that hemmed him in like a paper fortress.

”Is it that obvious? Between the new acquisitions and the complex quarterly projections, the sun seems to rise and set while I am still staring at these endless spreadsheets. Not to mention the new business development in that remote village. What was the village name again? Yeah... Mianxi Village. But I should not complain too much. The company is growing faster than we ever anticipated.” Su Yu Hi stated.

”You need to take better care of your health, Brother Yu Hi. I don’t want you to collapse from sheer exhaustion on my watch. If that happens, I will have to run this entire place myself. We both know I would much rather be in a research lab or a hospital than trapped in boring committee meetings all day.” Yu Qi advised with a concerned frown.
