After Li Xixue finished speaking, the two of them sat in the corridor for a long time.

Taking over the snowy region?

This isn't something that can be done in one day.

He could fool people for a day, but in the long run, Lu Yang's foundation simply couldn't hold up.

After all, this is a company worth tens of billions.

And what about him?

However, he is a college student who has only been interning for a short time.

Lu Yang thought for a moment, then said, "Aren't you overestimating me?"

Li Xixue folded the examination report and put it in her bag. She looked at him calmly and said, "I saw the meeting yesterday. You handled it very well. The Nancheng project has also finalized a plan. Not everyone can do these things."

"Yesterday is one day, but the long term is another."

Lu Yang leaned back in the chair in the corridor, looking at the pregnancy precautions posters on the opposite wall.

The poster depicts a pregnant woman doing yoga, with the words "Scientific Pregnancy, Happy Mom" ​​written next to it.

He turned his gaze back and continued, "Your company alone has over a dozen documents to sign this morning, and even things like whether or not to replace the plants require the CEO's approval. Are you sure I can handle that?"

Li Xixue slung her bag over her shoulder and stood up.

"You don't need to worry about the plants; Chen Yan was just testing you on purpose."

"What?"

"She wants to see if you'll agree to anything."

Lu Yang opened his mouth.

Good grief, I've been tricked by Chen Yan.

"So what was my answer?"

You said, "Let's change it."

"..."

Lu Yang rubbed his face.

The two left the hospital; Li Xixue drove, and Lu Yang sat in the passenger seat.

Lu Yang lowered the window a little, then raised it back up.

He was thinking about something.

Should we tell Li Xixue's parents about the pregnancy?

If they told them, Mr. and Mrs. Li would be overjoyed, after all, they had been urging them for so long, and their long-awaited grandson was finally here.

The problem is that it's only been two weeks, and the doctor said that early pregnancy is unstable. If something goes wrong, it would be a false alarm and not good.

"Don't tell my parents yet."

Li Xixue spoke up.

Lu Yang turned to look at her.

This woman can read minds again.

"Let's talk about it once things stabilize."

"OK."

Lu Yang nodded, then remembered something else.

"What about the company? If you suddenly stop going, won't those people freak out?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't go."

Li Xixue changed her tone: "I meant reducing the workload, not not going at all."

"So you just said you wanted me to take over..."

"I'll handle the day-to-day affairs, but I'll still make the major decisions."

Lu Yang responded with an "oh".

In that case, he's a high-level errand runner.

No, it should be called acting president.

No, that's not right. You should call her the landlady's husband.

That doesn't seem right either.

"Then what position do I hold?"

Lu Yang asked, "When I go to the company, what do people call me? President Lu? Specialist Lu? Or... the president's husband?"

Li Xixue didn't turn around; her eyes were fixed on the road ahead.

"What do you want to call me?"

Lu Yang said directly, "There has to be a position."

Li Xixue thought for a moment: "Acting President."

Lu Yang took two seconds to process this.

Acting President.

That sounds pretty intimidating.

"And what about the salary?"

"You still want your salary?"

"Working without pay?"

"..."

Li Xixue glared at him.

Lu Yang quickly laughed and said, "Just kidding, after all, you're mine now."

"Who, who's on your side?"

Li Xixue panicked for a moment.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

The two are now husband and wife.

Logically speaking, the property of both parties should already belong to each other.

But soon.

Li Xixue regained her composure, her tone changing slightly.

There's something you need to be aware of.

"What?"

"You confronted Sun Zhigang at the meeting yesterday, so he definitely won't let it go."

Lu Yang recalled the scene from yesterday's meeting.

"What can he do?"

"He can't do anything, but Wang Dehai can."

Lu Yang remained silent for two seconds.

Wang Dehai, a long-time shareholder, is Sun Zhigang's brother-in-law.

What do you think Wang Dehai will do?

Li Xixue did not answer directly, but stopped the car at a red light intersection.

"Wang Dehai is the kind of person who won't confront you directly; he prefers to make a scene at board meetings."

"What do you mean?"

"If he knew you were going to act as my agent long-term, he would raise objections at the board meeting and demand that we go through the formal process."

"What is the formal procedure?"

"Board vote."

Lu Yang frowned.

Board vote.

He had heard Li Xixue mention this mechanism before; all major decisions in the Snowfield region require approval from the board of directors.

Although Li Xixue is the controlling shareholder, her shareholding is less than 51%, which means that if the other shareholders unite to oppose her, she will have to give in.

How many votes can Wang Dehai garner?

"At least three votes."

Li Xixue said calmly, "Including himself, that makes four votes."

How many people are on the board of directors?

"Nine people, I have one vote, Wang Dehai has four votes, and of the remaining four, two are neutral and two are on my side."

Lu Yang did the math.

If the two neutral parties side with Wang Dehai, the score would be six to three.

Li Xixue lost.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Li Xixue stepped on the gas and the car turned onto another road.

"The board meeting isn't until next month, so there's still time."

"Is there enough time?"

"It has to be enough, even if it's not enough."

Lu Yang didn't ask any more questions.

The car pulled up to the apartment building, and the two people went upstairs.

After entering the room, Li Xixue put her bag on the sofa and stood on the balcony for a while.

Lu Yang went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and brought it to her.

"Drink some water."

Li Xixue took the cup and took a sip.

She stood there thinking for a long time.

Then she turned to look at Lu Yang.

"Are you really sure you want to take over?"

"Didn't you ask me to take over?"

"I'm serious."

Li Xixue placed the cup on the windowsill. "Taking over Snowfield is no joke. The people and things you'll be dealing with will be far more complicated than what happened yesterday."

Lu Yang thought for a moment.

"I know."

"So you're still willing?"

"You have to agree whether you want to or not."

Lu Yang walked over to her. "You're pregnant now, you can't keep working overtime every night, can you?"

Li Xixue didn't speak.

Lu Yang continued, "And I think this is an opportunity."

"What opportunity?"

Let me tell you a little about your life before.

Li Xixue's lips twitched slightly.

You'll regret it.

"Then you'll regret it."

Lu Yang reached out and put his arm around her waist. "Anyway, I'm already on this pirate ship, and there's no way I can get off now."

Li Xixue turned around to face him.

"Do you know what taking over the snowy region means?"

"What does that mean?"

"It means you can no longer live that kind of leisurely life."

"And what about before?"

Lu Yang asked, "Haven't you been doing the same thing these past few years?"

Li Xixue remained silent for two seconds.

"I had no choice."

"I have no choice now."

Lu Yang lowered his head, his forehead touching hers. "It's because you're pregnant with my child."
