Chapter 692: Young Master Xiao to Take Over the Group’s Business?

"Yes, Young Master, please rest assured!"

Uncle Hua was momentarily stunned, then bowed his head and respectfully acquiesced.

"You don’t need to take direct action. First, look into this guy’s weak spots. I want to give him a good thrashing first!"

Li Zhengyi’s face was incredibly dark and vengeful as he spoke, and his fist pounded fiercely onto the hospital bed again.

Uncle Hua looked at the expression on Li Zhengyi’s face, hesitated as he seemed to want to say something but ultimately decided to simply respond respectfully and turned to leave through the door again.

"That hick surnamed Xiao, just you wait. I, Li Zhengyi, will certainly make you experience what it’s like to wish you were better off dead!"

The muscles on Li Zhengyi’s face twisted again, and his fists clenched with a creaking sound.

"Young Master Xiao, all the materials you’ve requested are right here."

Liu Yuan placed a thick stack of documents next to Xiao Yi, looked at Xiao Yi who was focused on reading a file, and couldn’t help but reveal a confused look. He really didn’t understand why Xiao Yi had suddenly become interested in the affairs of Jianguo Group. Since yesterday, Xiao Yi had been incessantly calling him to bring these business documents over.

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Xiao Yi didn’t even lift his head, casually thanked him, and continued reading the document he had just opened, as if the data and case files on it were not dry but were a naked and alluring beauty.

Xiao Yi’s expression made Liu Yuan even more puzzled, as thoughts began to emerge in his mind.

Could it be that Director Chen, after the assassination attempt, was disheartened and decided to hand over all the company operations to Young Master Xiao?

Or perhaps Xiao Yi suddenly developed an interest in the affairs of Jianguo Group and was preparing to take over from Director Chen?

The more Liu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that there might be some possibility. Otherwise, why would Xiao Yi suddenly take such a keen interest in these materials? In the past, Xiao Yi never involved himself with Jianguo Group’s affairs.

It wasn’t just Jianguo Group’s affairs, but from what he observed, Xiao Yi would always take the easy route if possible, keeping things as simple as possible and definitely not exerting any extra effort.

However, if such a big decision was made, why didn’t Director Chen give him a heads-up? It seemed unlikely. His performance at work had been quite good recently, and he hadn’t done anything to wrong Director Chen. The only bad thing was that he hadn’t been able to stand up and take a bullet for the Director during the assassination attempt but even after waking up, Director Chen seemed to have no issue with it. Could it be that he said it was okay on the surface but held a grudge in secret?

Tsk, that’s impossible. Director Chen is one hundred percent not that kind of person. With Director Chen’s character, if he had any objections, he would have told him directly. Besides, if he had any objections, he wouldn’t have let him manage all the group’s affairs. And having known Xiao Yi for so long, Xiao Yi wasn’t that kind of person either. If Xiao Yi really was preparing to manage Jianguo Group, he would have given him a heads-up.

The more Liu Yuan thought about it, the more perplexed he became. After scratching his head in thought for a while, he finally decided to go straight to Xiao Yi and see if he could get some information from him.

"Young Master Xiao..."

Liu Yuan looked carefully at Xiao Yi, who was engrossed in the documents, his mind racing as he organized his words.

"What is it, Uncle Liu? What’s wrong? Is something the matter?"

Xiao Yi looked up in surprise at Liu Yuan’s hesitant demeanor and asked with confusion.

"Well, Young Master Xiao, how come you’ve suddenly become so interested in these business matters recently?"

Liu Yuan asked cautiously.

"That, I’ll keep as a little secret for now, haha. Uncle Liu, you’ve been a great help these past few days. There’s fruit in the fridge, help yourself, I won’t see you out."

Xiao Yi almost instinctively was about to tell Liu Yuan his purpose, but a thought struck him and he stopped the words on the tip of his tongue, smiled slightly, and then continued to turn his attention to the documents in front of him.

Although he had asked Fatty Tang for help in looking for the critical data he needed, relying entirely on others was never his style. After coming back, he pondered briefly and then immediately decided to make a backup plan, so he called Liu Yuan and asked him to bring over some recent business documents.

He hoped to find something valuable through these documents.

Fortunately, although he was not a professional, there were many technical reports that he didn’t quite understand. However, he didn’t need to study those reports; he just had to look for some general data and documents.

It was not that he deliberately wanted to be mysterious in front of Liu Yuan, or that he didn’t trust Liu Yuan. It’s just that he felt there was no need to reveal his plans yet until he had found the real culprit, at which point Liu Yuan would naturally know.

But Liu Yuan didn’t understand Xiao Yi’s intentions. Watching Xiao Yi’s demeanor, he couldn’t help but start to have active thoughts. What exactly did Xiao Yi mean by his words? Were his own speculations correct?

As for Xiao Yi telling him to help himself to some fruit, that was completely ignored by Liu Yuan.

After contemplating for a while, Liu Yuan still felt uneasy, so he hesitated before carefully leaving the living room and moving to the entrance of the villa, where he took out his phone and dialed Chen Jianguo’s number.

"Liu Yuan, what’s up?"

Chen Jianguo’s voice still sounded a bit hoarse. "I’ve already told you, just handle the company’s affairs yourself, no need to report back to me about general issues, only the significant decisions."

"Well, Director Chen, it’s not that... I have something to ask you, if it’s convenient."

Hearing the casualness and unmistakable trust in Chen Jianguo’s voice, Liu Yuan felt moved and suddenly a bit ashamed. The question he had wanted to ask didn’t come out as easily as before.

"What is it? Just ask, what’s inconvenient about it?"

Chen Jianguo was perplexed. Was Liu Yuan having some kind of episode today? It wasn’t their first day of acquaintance. They had worked together for many years. Why not just ask whatever it was directly, instead of beating around the bush? (To be continued.
