Chapter 765: Chapter 0766: Secretary Su Xiaomin [First Update]

Ye Qiu silently followed behind Xia Lan and Luo Fei, other people, even if they noticed him, only thought he was just a minor errand-runner.

As for Xia Lan, some employees recognized her, others did not; those who recognized her were mostly old employees from the hotel headquarters. Conversely, these employees were very familiar with Luo Fei, as he usually followed around the president, Li Fei.

But now, there were rumors throughout the company that Li Fei had met with an accident.

Although it was still unconfirmed within the group, seeing Xia Lan and Luo Fei appear at the group’s headquarters made many suspect that the president truly might have met with an accident.

Taking the elevator to the top floor, they arrived at the president’s office. Luo Fei went ahead to knock on the door, which was opened by Li Fei’s secretary, Su Xiaomin.

Usually, Su Xiaomin was responsible for most of the company’s affairs, and only important documents, which required Li Fei’s signature, would be signed by him.

As for business matters, they were generally handled by the secretary informing the relevant departments.

Li Fei was different from others; while many enjoyed superficial displays of authority, often the larger the company grew, the more departments it had, but Li Fei’s management style kept the managerial departments relatively few in number, nearly three levels fewer than other similar hotels, despite having over ten thousand employees.

Right after Li Fei’s incident, Su Xiaomin received a message sent before the incident, informing her that the group’s affairs were to be handled by Xia Lan in the event of an accident.

However, Su Xiaomin rarely interacted with Xia Lan and upon receiving the news initially, she ended up informing the other five shareholders.

Of course, Su Xiaomin wasn’t sure whether President Li had truly met with an accident or not. If he really had, she wondered how the hotel group would fare.

She didn’t know.

But she knew that Xia Lan used to be just an ordinary secretary to President Li before becoming his wife, and after becoming pregnant, she rarely came to the company.

Therefore, Su Xiaomin felt that Xia Lan did not possess the capability to manage the hotel group, whereas the five shareholders did.

Hearing the knock at the door, Su Xiaomin went to open it and found President Li’s bodyguard, Luo Fei, and the president’s wife, Xia Lan.

"Mrs. Li."

Su Xiaomin hurriedly greeted her.

Su Xiaomin was very familiar with Luo Fei, but she didn’t expect that now, seeing him in person, it was as though she hadn’t seen Luo Fei at all.

As for Ye Qiu, dressed ordinarily, Su Xiaomin only glanced at him once. She did not recognize this young man and paid him no heed.

After Ye Qiu closed the door, Xia Lan sat down on the couch, not taking the usual chair where Li Fei sat.

After Su Xiaomin poured water for the three of them and then sat down, she said, "Mr. Luo, where is President Li? There are many important documents that need his signature now."

"You don’t know?"

Luo Fei looked at her strangely and asked.

If Li Fei had an accident, she wasn’t the one who spread the news, then who did?

After all, it was only he and Li Fei in that car.

Of course, the investigators Li Fei had hired to look into the hotel food poisoning case still might not know that he had met with an accident.

"I, I just received a message from President Li a week ago, and then his phone couldn’t be reached,"

Su Xiaomin said.

While Luo Fei and Su Xiaomin were talking, Ye Qiu was watching this female secretary, fearing that this secretary was no simple character and that Xia Lan might not be capable of managing her.

But now, dealing with the hotel group’s big and small affairs initially still needed her help.

Ye Qiu remained silent, Xia Lan glanced at Ye Qiu, then calmly said, "The night you received that message from Li Fei, he had an accident, and now he has gone to another world."

What?

Su Xiaomin truly couldn’t believe that the domineering President Li had really died!

That evening, she had merely received that text message, suggesting Li Fei might have anticipated trouble, thus, he had assigned Xia Lan to take over the hotel chain.

However, Su Xiaomin truly couldn’t believe it.

If it were really so, what would become of the hotel chain?

Could it really be handed over to the current Mrs. Li?

Su Xiaomin would never believe this Mrs. Li had the capability.

"Before President Li had an accident, didn’t you see the text message he sent you?"

Xia Lan asked.

"I saw it, but, I didn’t know what was happening with President Li at that time,"

Su Xiaomin said softly.

"Has the company received any news now?"

This naturally occurred when Su Xiaomin notified the other five shareholders and the department heads within the group, all of whom could have known about the trouble with Li Fei.

In fact, in the past, although Li Fei was domineering and autocratic, he seldom interfered with the work between departments, and mostly, he spent his time domestically and abroad, so even now that Li Fei had an accident, as long as there were no internal issues, the company fundamentally had no major problems.

However, it was precisely because Su Xiaomin had prematurely informed those five shareholders and the department heads that the company began to face internal troubles.

"I, I don’t know,"

Su Xiaomin said.

She didn’t dare to look directly at Xia Lan, but the more she behaved that way, the more it indicated that something was amiss with this female secretary.

Ye Qiu still hadn’t spoken and was just watching; he was still not very clear how significant the internal strife within the hotel chain company really was.

If it were just those five shareholders who were the issue, it wouldn’t be a significant problem, but if those department heads were the problem, then it would be a serious issue.

As Ye Qiu looked towards Xia Lan, he said, "Sister-in-law, ask this secretary to bring over the company’s personnel files for me to review."

Sister-in-law?

Could it be that this plainly dressed young man is President Li’s brother?

Su Xiaomin saw that Ye Qiu didn’t really look like Li Fei, and moreover, President Li was over forty years old, while this young man wasn’t even twenty?

Su Xiaomin felt it was strange, but still, she felt there was more to this young man than she first saw.

"Secretary Su, have someone from the HR department bring over the company’s personnel files,"

Xia Lan directly said.

Su Xiaomin could only make a call to the HR department.

After Su Xiaomin finished the call, she was again somewhat confused about why Mrs. Li had come here, but with the head of the hotel chain in trouble, the positions of CEO and chairman couldn’t remain vacant for long and needed to be filled quickly.

If it wasn’t Mrs. Li taking over as the new CEO and chairman, then it had to be from among those five shareholders, or selected from among the general managers or directors of the various departments.

Ye Qiu, along with the three others and Secretary Su Xiaomin, waited inside for roughly fifteen minutes, until an associate director from HR brought over the main personnel files of the company.
