A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

the other side.

Lu Yang returned to his office, unbuttoned his suit jacket, and let out a heavy sigh.

To be honest, being a CEO is no easy task.

Chen Yan followed in, holding the minutes of the meeting.

"Mr. Lu, those words just now..."

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "That last sentence, wasn't it a bit...?"

"What's up?"

"That's a bit too direct."

"Directly?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

Saying "water" is not direct at all.

"Anyway, they all understand what I mean."

Lu Yang picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

Chen Yan sighed.

"Sun Zhigang is a tough guy to deal with. He's been with the company for over ten years and has a deep network of connections. Even President Li doesn't have a good way to deal with him."

Lu Yang shook his head.

"He's not that he's difficult to deal with, he's just that nobody dares to confront him head-on."

Chen Yan thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Li Xixue usually deals with Sun Zhigang by giving him the cold shoulder, avoiding direct confrontation but also refusing to back down.

Over time, it becomes a tug-of-war.

Lu Yang's approach today was to simply block the road.

Simple and direct, but effective.

"but……"

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment.

"But what?"

"Sun Zhigang is a vengeful person. He won't let this go so easily after being humiliated at the meeting today."

Lu Yang hummed in agreement.

He knows that.

But today he only needs to hold out for one day; the rest is up to Li Xixue.

Thinking about this...

Lu Yang took out his phone and sent her a message.

The meeting is over.

A minute passed.

Li Xixue replied: 【How is it?】

Lu Yang thought for a moment and replied: "The South City project has been finalized."

Li Xixue remained silent for a few seconds.

Did you place this order?

【right.】

Li Xixue didn't reply.

Lu Yang waited a moment, then added, "Baby, are you thinking I messed up?"

Ten seconds or so passed.

Li Xixue: [This is the option I've been leaning towards.]

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

[You wanted to choose this one before?]

Li Xixue: [Yes, but Sun Zhigang has been against it, so I'm waiting for the right time to push it on.]

Lu Yang leaned back in his chair.

So not only did he not mess things up today, he also did something for Li Xixue that she had always wanted to do but hadn't been able to?

He replied, "So you made me come here today on purpose?"

It took Li Xixue quite a while to reply.

I won't tell you.

Lu Yang stared at those four words, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

This woman has planned everything out.

She asked me to fill in for her, which was ostensibly a temporary arrangement, but I probably had planned it all along.

Sun Zhigang was used to going against her, so having someone else in charge would actually break the deadlock.

Moreover, the fact that Lu Yang is her husband carries more weight than any title.

Lu Yang put down his phone and his gaze drifted back to the diary on the table.

He reached out and touched it.

It wasn't translated.

enough.

After thinking for a moment, he sent her another message: "By the way, can I see you earlier tonight?"

Li Xixue: [What's wrong?]

Lu Yang: [I kind of want to kiss you, baby.]

The other party remained silent for a moment.

Li Xixue: [What's wrong with you? Who wants to kiss you?]

Lu Yang: [You really don't want to?]

Li Xixue: [Not tonight...]

Lu Yang: [Why?]

Li Xixue: [I...I'll take you somewhere tonight.]

Lu Yang: [Where?]

Li Xixue: [It's a secret.]

Lu Yang: [Sounds mysterious.]

After the meeting, Lu Yang sat in the president's office for an afternoon, thinking he could finally relax for a while.

As a result, Chen Yan would push the door open and come in every ten minutes or so, always carrying something in her hands.

"Mr. Lu, this is the approval document for 4 PM. It needs to be signed."

"Mr. Lu, this is the job adjustment application submitted by the Human Resources Department. Please take a look."

"Mr. Lu, there's a contract clause that the legal department needs to confirm. Please take a look at page 7, clause 3."

Lu Yang stared at it for a long time but still couldn't understand it.

Three minutes later, Chen Yan came in again.

"President Lu, the administration department asked if we should replace the plants in the office area. President Li mentioned that they should be replaced this month."

Lu Yang rubbed his temples.

A company worth tens of billions, and the CEO has to manage the plants?

Lu Yang closed his eyes briefly.

I can't believe how tired this woman is usually.

He picked up the cup of black coffee on the table and took another sip.

It's still bitter.

Right at this moment.

Chen Yan pushed the door open and came in again.

"Mr. Lu, there's something I need to report."

"explain."

Chen Yan closed the door and walked to the table.

"Sun Zhigang went straight to the twelfth floor after the meeting ended, without returning to his own office."

"The twelfth floor?"

Lu Yang put down his coffee cup.

"right."

Chen Yan took two steps closer. "The twelfth floor is the office of the old shareholder, Wang Dehai."

Lu Yang frowned.

Wang Dehai.

He had seen the name in the documents.

The group of people who started their business with Li Xixue's father in their early years.

After Li Xixue took over Snowfield, these old shareholders didn't say anything openly, but they did a lot of sabotage behind the scenes.

What could Sun Zhigang possibly talk about with Wang Dehai?

Chen Yan shook her head: "I'm not sure, but given Sun Zhigang's personality, he'll most likely go and complain."

Complain.

Lu Yang did two things at the meeting today.

First, Sun Zhigang's proposal was rejected.

Second, in front of the three department heads, he said that he was Li Xixue's boyfriend.

The first thing that made Sun Zhigang lose face.

The second thing made Sun Zhigang lose hope.

Anyone would need to find a place to vent.

"What's Wang Dehai's attitude?" Lu Yang asked.

Chen Yan thought for a moment: "Mr. Wang is Sun Zhigang's brother-in-law."

Lu Yang put down his coffee cup.

"brother in law?"

"right."

Lu Yang tapped his fingers twice on the armrest.

No wonder Li Xixue couldn't do anything about him; it turns out he has a major shareholder backing him up. If you touch him, it's the same as touching the old shareholder's side, and it affects the whole situation.

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment.

"There's one more thing."

"What?"

"Wang Dehai has always wanted to bring Sun Zhigang and President Li together."

Chen Yan continued, "He mentioned this several times when he was having dinner with some of the old shareholders, saying that good things should not go to outsiders, and that if Sun Zhigang could be with President Li, the internal conflicts in the company could be resolved."

"When did this happen?"

"It started last year."

Chen Yan said, "It was at the annual meeting that Sun Zhigang got drunk and wanted to take General Manager Li home. It was Wang Dehai who instigated that."

Lu Yang didn't say anything.

"Several times after that, Wang Dehai privately invited President Li to dinner, and each time he brought Sun Zhigang with him. President Li went twice, but then he stopped going."

Lu Yang turned the chair halfway around so that it faced the window.

It was getting dark outside, and the office lights were gradually coming on.

Wang Dehai's intention to place Sun Zhigang next to Li Xixue was not pure.

If Sun Zhigang really marries Li Xixue, it means that the old shareholders have directly infiltrated the core level.

At that time, Li Xixue's decisions will all have to pass Sun Zhigang's test.

To put it bluntly, it's a marriage alliance.
