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

3 PM, in the conference room.

The long table was filled with people on both sides; the heads of various departments were all present.

Li Xixue sat in the main seat, while Lu Yang sat next to her.

Chen Yan stood at the door, holding a folder in her hands.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat awkward.

All eyes were darting back and forth between Li Xixue and Lu Yang.

After all, the news that Lu Yang filled in for someone for a day yesterday had already spread throughout the company.

This is the first time in history that an ordinary employee has been put in the position of acting president.

But regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Lu Yang is sitting next to Li Xixue today speaks volumes.

Something big is happening today!

Sun Zhigang sat near the door, his expression not looking good.

He was rebuked by Lu Yang at the meeting yesterday, and seeing that person sitting next to Li Xixue today only fueled his anger.

Li Xixue glanced at everyone present and spoke coldly.

"I've called everyone here today because I have something to announce."

All eyes were on her, waiting for her to continue.

"From now on, Lu Yang will be in charge of all the company's day-to-day affairs."

The voice just fell.

A discussion immediately broke out in the conference room.

The executives all looked up, some incredulous, at Lu Yang.

All affairs were entrusted to Lu Yang for management.

They understood better than anyone else what those words meant.

Sun Zhigang's expression darkened further, and he was the first to speak: "President Li, isn't this decision a bit too sudden?"

Li Xixue turned to look at him, her gaze indifferent: "Lu Yang already acted as the substitute for a day yesterday, and I think his abilities are not a problem."

"But that was only for a day; taking over company affairs long-term is another matter."

After finishing his sentence, Sun Zhigang glanced at the others present and continued, "Furthermore, shouldn't such an important decision be discussed at a board meeting first?"

Li Xixue did not answer immediately.

She knew Sun Zhigang would say that.

That's his routine: when faced with a problem, he simply invokes the board of directors' authority.

"The board meeting won't be held until next month."

After Li Xixue finished speaking, her gaze swept over everyone present: "Company matters cannot wait a month."

The CFO adjusted his glasses and spoke.

"President Li, I don't mean anything by it, I just wanted to confirm what President Lu's position is?"

Li Xixue did not answer his question immediately.

Her gaze swept around the conference room before finally settling on Sun Zhigang's face.

"His position is... which is my position."

These words sparked an even louder discussion in the meeting room.

What is Li Xixue's position?

She's the CEO.

Isn't this jumping straight to the highest point?

Sun Zhigang sat in the chair, his mood suddenly turning to explosion, and he tapped his fingers twice on the table.

How did an intern suddenly rise to a higher position than himself?

On what grounds?

"President Li, doesn't the position of president require board approval?"

Li Xixue placed her hand on the table and spoke softly.

"unnecessary."

Why not?

"Because it was my decision."

Li Xixue's tone was calm, but every word was clear: "I have the right to appoint the company's management."

Sun Zhigang opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't say a word.

Li Xixue is right.

She does have that power.

The problem is, this decision came too suddenly.

Moreover, the person appointed was an inexperienced intern.

"President Li, I'm not questioning your decision."

The CFO adjusted his glasses: "I just think, perhaps we could reconsider this? After all, Mr. Lu..."

He paused for a moment and glanced at Lu Yang.

"After all, President Lu has no prior experience managing a company. Wouldn't it be too risky to let him take over all the affairs directly?"

Li Xixue did not answer.

She turned to look at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sat there, his expression calm.

Lu Yang spoke up: "I admit that I do not have experience in managing a company, but with Bao... cough cough, with Xixue here, she will personally guide me."

"To personally guide you?"

Upon hearing this...

Everyone was stunned.

Sun Zhigang couldn't help but ask, "President Li, do you mean you will continue to manage the company?"

"I will participate in major decisions."

Li Xixue's tone was flat: "Leave the daily affairs to Lu Yang."

"Then what's the difference between this and you managing it yourself?"

Sun Zhigang leaned forward slightly: "Since you want to be involved in decision-making, why not just manage it yourself? Why go through the trouble of having President Lu do it?"

Li Xixue did not answer.

Lu Yang turned his head and glanced at her.

You can't exactly say that your CEO is already pregnant, can you?

He knew that Li Xixue wouldn't reveal that she was pregnant.

At least not now.

"Because I need to rest."

Li Xixue spoke up.

The meeting room was silent for two seconds.

The CFO adjusted his glasses: "Mr. Li, are you feeling unwell?"

"I just need to adjust my work pace."

Li Xixue spoke softly: "I've been working at a high intensity for the past few years, and now I need to slow down a bit."

Sun Zhigang clenched his fists.

He couldn't force Li Xixue to continue working at such a high intensity.

The development director hesitated for a moment before speaking, "President Li, I don't mean anything by it, I just wanted to confirm the extent of President Lu's authority."

"He's in charge of everything except matters related to the board of directors."

After Li Xixue finished speaking, her gaze swept over everyone present: "Including personnel appointments and removals."

Personnel appointments and removals.

The moment those four words were uttered, the atmosphere in the meeting room became a little tense.

Everyone present understands what personnel appointments and removals mean.

This means that Lu Yang has the authority to adjust the company's management team.

Sun Zhigang's face darkened completely.

"President Li, shouldn't we be more cautious about personnel appointments and dismissals?"

"I'm being very careful."

Li Xixue tapped her fingers lightly twice on the table: "So I gave this permission to the person I trust most."

The person you trust most?

Sun Zhigang gritted his teeth.

He took a deep breath, then looked up at Li Xixue.

"Mr. Li, may I ask you a question?"

Li Xixue didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"Mr. Lu... what is your relationship with him?"

The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

All eyes were on Li Xixue and Lu Yang.

This is a question that everyone present wanted to ask, but no one dared to speak up.

Li Xixue removed her hand from the table and leaned back in her chair.

"What do you want to ask?"

"I just want to confirm."

Sun Zhigang's eyes revealed a hint of defiance.

"What exactly makes President Lu qualified for this position? Is it his ability, or... something else?"

Li Xixue did not answer immediately, but turned her head to look at Lu Yang.

Immediately, the sound reached everyone's ears.

"Because he is my husband."
