Chapter 654: Chapter 655: Pigeons Occupying the Magpie’s Nest

At Qingyuan Group, President Miao Qingqing suddenly disappeared, and then Su Qingyuan appeared with a power of attorney, becoming the new president of the company.

This was absolutely shocking news within Qingyuan Group. No one knew what had happened or why the presidential candidate had changed, and to a completely unknown individual at that.

However, they soon learned that Su Qingyuan belonged to the Su Family, a top-tier, powerful family that Qingyuan Group could not compare with. It was as if Qingyuan Group had climbed onto the back of a giant.

In the past few days, Su Qingyuan had been indescribably overjoyed. In the Su Family, although he was a direct descendant with money and status, he lacked one thing—a territory to call his own.

In a large family, the young members are usually groomed according to their talents: either practicing in politics, trained in the military, or making money in business to secure a firm position within the family.

Su Qingyuan had been sent out in previous years too. He found military life too harsh, and he lacked the ability to serve as an official, abandoning both paths midway. This time, being directly placed in charge of a giant corporate group with assets worth billions, he felt like a king, riding high with exceptional pride.

Especially these last few days, having flaunted the Su family name, local government leaders, major business figures, and even the largest local family, the Ding family, had all shown him favors, making him feel even more elated.

Sitting in the chairman’s office, after listening to a series of reports, Su Qingyuan drew a female secretary into his arms and asked, "Who is Song Xiaodong’s confidant?" He had still been nursing a grudge since Song Xiaodong had slapped him last time.

The female secretary said, "It’s Su Yao, the manager of the HR department."

Su Qingyuan frowned and remarked, "Su Yao, that beautiful manager, is his confidant? This is Miao Qingqing’s company, and under her supervision, this guy could still flirt around?"

"Su Yao was Song Xiaodong’s classmate, and later came to this company with him. Initially, she was a secretary for Song Xiaodong, but after he left, she was promoted to manager of the HR department."

Su Qingyuan replied, "I see, then ask Su Yao to come see me."

When Su Yao received the call from the chairman’s office, she felt nervous. The new chairman’s reputation wasn’t very good. In just a few days at the company, he had already become involved with several beautiful women. Now calling her over, she feared it wouldn’t be for anything good.

Previously, under Miao Qingqing’s chairmanship, such behaviors were strictly managed, and with Song Xiaodong’s support, she wasn’t afraid of anyone targeting her.

But now that Miao Qingqing had suddenly gone, and Song Xiaodong’s whereabouts were unknown, she had been trying to reach Song Xiaodong for days, his phone always turned off, not knowing what emergencies had occurred. Without these two as her backing, Su Yao really felt insecure.

Bracing herself, she entered the chairman’s office. Su Qingyuan gestured, and his secretary and two bodyguards left. These two bodyguards were skilled fighters from the Su family, brought here just in case of any incidents to protect Su Qingyuan.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Su Qingyuan lit a cigarette, leaning back in his chair and swung his leg leisurely.

"I don’t know what instructions the chairman has." Su Yao stood in front of the desk, asking respectfully.

Su Qingyuan said, "I know you are Song Xiaodong’s classmate, and you came here because of Song Xiaodong. You might have seen the news online; do you think he will have a chance to come back and protect you?"

Su Yao replied, "I work here based on my abilities, not to seek protection from anyone."

"Good, I appreciate a capable woman like you. However, I have a grudge against Song Xiaodong, and I will definitely not favor a woman he likes. Of course, given your skills, I can offer you a chance..."

Su Yao’s mouth twitched, but she didn’t respond.

Su Qingyuan swayed slightly and continued, "If you are loyal to me and serve me well, I can truly make use of you. Not only will I let you continue as the HR manager, but before long, I’ll promote you further."

Su Yao clenched her fist and said, "I’m sorry, although I really like my job, I would rather not use my body in exchange for it."

"Hmm?" Su Qingyuan suddenly furrowed his brows, and said, "Don’t tell me you are still hoping that Song Xiaodong will return? Do you believe he can rise again? That Miao Qingqing can come back?"

Su Yao snorted, "Why not?"

Su Qingyuan scoffed and replied, "Then let me tell you, Miao Qingqing is just a woman our Su Family doesn’t value. She will never have a chance to manage this company again. This company is mine now. As for Song Xiaodong, he will never have a chance to prevail again. Even if he were here now, ha, I would make him kneel and beg for mercy, ha ha..."

After returning home, Su Zhentian told the Su family members that Song Xiaodong, following their battle, had become a cripple. His Kung Fu skills might not be completely gone, but his strength was only a fraction of what it once was.

So now Su Zhentian felt confident in saying so; a strong Song Xiaodong was indeed formidable, but a Song Xiaodong with only a fraction of his former strength, unable to even defeat his own bodyguards, was nothing to fear.

"It won’t happen! Song Xiaodong will definitely come back!" Su Yao shook her head.

Su Qingyuan burst into laughter and said, "Ha ha, I actually look forward to his return. Then you’ll see him groveling like a dog before me, and I’ll even let him watch as I play with you. It will certainly be very interesting, wouldn’t you agree?"

"You’re despicable!" Su Yao exclaimed angrily and then turned to leave. Despite usually being a very practical woman, Su Qingyuan’s character was absolutely not to be trusted. Moreover, having spent a lot of time with Song Xiaodong, she had grown somewhat infatuated with him, now less practical and a bit obsessed with love.

"Hmph, you think you can just leave?" Su Qingyuan coldly commanded, "Stop her!" The two bodyguards immediately opened the door and blocked Su Yao’s way.

Su Yao’s face suddenly changed; was she really about to be humiliated by this bastard, Su Qingyuan?

But her expression brightened the moment another person appeared at the door.
