Chapter 398: 393. Qinghe Turmoil (Second Update)_1

After Yang Xi returned to Juilliard School of Music, she turned on her phone, and Su Ruqin gave Yang Xi a call. Yet in the call, she didn’t mention again that Yang Xi must break up with Ren He. Instead, from that point on, she never brought up Ren He again, merely asking indifferently how Yang Xi had been recently, and when she would be coming home for the New Year.

It was as if Ren He had vanished from the world entirely...

This was Su Ruqin’s stance: since you are so determined to be with him, I will not interfere, but don’t expect me to acknowledge it, at least not until you can truly walk down the aisle.

But could Su Ruqin really ignore the existence of Ren He? She could not.

In the business realm, the big figures of the Qinghe Faction had one by one stepped out from behind the scenes, as Qinghe’s faction began to branch out into the entire internet industry. The outside world didn’t really understand what was happening. Were the big wigs of the Qinghe Faction planning to jump ship and start their own ventures?

What exactly was happening within Qinghe was unknown to anyone, and it wasn’t uncommon in other large corporations to see a mass executive exodus due to erroneous business strategies, which could lead to a decimation of the executive ranks. But Qinghe Games hadn’t suffered any strategic mishaps, so could it be an internal conflict?

Yes, the helmsman of Qinghe Games, named Xu Nuo, was very young, and many people subconsciously guessed whether it was possible that this helmsman had run into management issues?

After all, he was so young; it was only normal that he encountered some problems.

Many viewed the situation with schadenfreude because only if Qinghe Games stumbled would they have the chance to rise swiftly. Everyone wanted to try for the leading position, thinking maybe they could do better than Qinghe Games!

No matter what others thought, Su Ruqin always felt that the situation wasn’t so simple. She knew all too well that the actual helmsman of Qinghe Games was not Xu Nuo, but Ren He!

And she was very clear about what kind of person Ren He was. Although she now vehemently resisted thinking about her potential son-in-law, she had to admit that Ren He had a unique leadership quality: courage, wisdom, emotional intelligence, curiosity, patience—he lacked none of them!

Thus, Su Ruqin was watchful and interested in observing, after all, this could very well be her future son-in-law’s business. Although she wasn’t against Yang Xi marrying a poor guy—as long as Yang Xi was happy—she equally wished more for Yang Xi to be free from worries about food and clothing.

She knew very well the saying that poverty makes for an unhappy marriage. When lacking money, buying clothes would require long deliberation, while other people’s children attended private schools enjoying a quality of education that current public schools in China couldn’t provide, and her own children could only squeeze into cramped classrooms with seventy or eighty other students.

Some always say that money is not the only criterion for happiness, and yes, that’s very true.

Others say one can be happy without money, as long as there’s not too much material desire, but that’s just nonsense. How many truly content people are there in this world? We are all ordinary; nobody should impose such lofty ideals on anyone else.

The turmoil at Qinghe Games was well known domestically, and while some reveled in the company’s distress, others were astonished to find just how influential this game company had become thanks to its user base.

People were also stunned to discover that these big wigs who had left Qinghe Games one after another were all extremely confident about the future development of the internet, and they had well-formulated plans.

The outside world did not understand why this was the case, and in the end, could only attribute it to Qinghe Games as a collective being too advanced. It seemed like a top-tier prestigious school within the internet field, where ordinary students, after being immersed in its environment, would undergo a transformation.

Even the minority of employees who left Qinghe Games reminisced about their days at the company, reflecting on its open, inclusive, and progressive culture—such a unique corporate temperament. After their departure, Qinghe Games even established an organization specifically for them, ensuring they would receive holiday greetings from Qinghe Games as usual. This was Ren He’s directive: to create the Alumni Association for Former Employees, managed personally by a Qinghe boss, to always be ready to welcome back any old staff!

Many who left Qinghe Games actively sought to return, and Qinghe Games always welcomed them back—of course, they would have to be re-interviewed to see if they still met the company’s standards.

Actually, Ren He was very aware that the loyalty and work efficiency of returning former employees would definitely be much higher than before because they left Qinghe thinking the outside world might be better, yet they returned because they realized after experiencing life outside of Qinghe Games...Qinghe Games was truly the best!

During this time, due to the turmoil at Qinghe Games, many successful individuals tried to glean the truth from the Qinghe bosses, but all the members of Qinghe’s faction merely responded with a veiled smile, "Let’s talk after the annual meeting this year."

Wait for the company’s annual meeting? Why wait for that? Many were puzzled.

The bosses of Qinghe’s faction indeed were looking forward to the day when the big boss would return from overseas to preside over this year’s meeting, which was bound to be unlike any other. All the bosses knew that it could very likely be the time for Qinghe Games to reform its operational model and delve deeper into the internet industry.

But even they were unclear about what changes Qinghe Games was about to face.

Many people were hoping for Qinghe Games to run into trouble, yet they admired the foundational user base Qinghe Games now possessed, along with that unique corporate temperament that could influence everyone within.

This year’s Qinghe Games annual meeting had garnered the attention of all the big players in the internet domain, something unprecedented for a company’s annual event.

In the usual impression, isn’t an annual meeting just about eating, drinking, playing, and handing out bonuses? Why is Qinghe Games making such a big deal out of it...

At this moment, Ren He and Yang Xi had already arrived at the airport wearing masks and sunglasses, even separating for the security check, as Yang Xi’s influence had become too significant, first domestically and now globally.

When Yang Xi removed her mask for the security check, even the American security personnel recognized her and excitedly asked her to send their regards to Knight... This security staff was not only a fan of Yang Xi’s songs but also a fan of Knight, with no contradiction between the two. Even now, fans of Yang Xi and Knight got along like family, often interacting...

When it came to Ren He’s turn to go through the security check alone, to be honest, he did not know if he could complete his mission...

The thought made him a little nervous...
