Chapter 290: Chapter 288 He Reports Every Day
When Si Yuhuan learned of Si Junyan’s presumed death from falling off a cliff, he was lost in deep thought for a moment.
Yan Qing pushed the door open and, seeing Director Si like this, assumed he had heard the news of his wife rejecting him.
"I didn’t expect it either. Your wife was quite resolute. Director Si, let’s not give up. Let’s keep trying until the iron rod is ground into a needle."
Si Yuhuan glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Uh....."
Yan Qing was a bit confused.
"Enough nonsense. Seal Si Junyan’s accounts immediately."
Si Yuhuan had faintly discovered something.
As fast as Yan Qing moved, he couldn’t outpace the other party.
He hurriedly reported, "Director Si, something’s wrong! Since last night, the money in the Second Young Master’s account has been transferred out in small amounts."
"It seems this Xiaoli was still hiding things from us! She actually stole from Si Junyan’s account for that person!"
Si Yuhuan slammed his palm on the table. "Bring her back to me! I want to see who dares to mess with anyone from my Si Family! Even if it’s a dog belonging to the Si Family, I, Si Yuhuan, will be the one to deal with it. It’s not for others to meddle!"
He was truly furious.
Outside, there was a rustling noise.
Old Master Si wanted to see Si Yuhuan.
BANG!
The door was pushed open.
Old Master Si furrowed his brows. "Did you do this?"
"It wasn’t me, Grandfather, listen to my explanation."
Yan Qing led everyone out.
Only then did Si Yuhuan kneel before Old Master Si, grasping his hand. "It’s not related to me. I might hate him, but I wouldn’t kill him. After all, he is a descendant of the Si Family. He escaped last night with help from inside and out, and that’s when the fall from the cliff happened. I suspect it’s related to the person he has been secretly contacting."
"The mysterious person Si Junyan has been exclusively contacting?"
Si Yuhuan had not kept these matters from Old Master Si and had told him everything.
Old Master Si was distraught: "This damn bastard! He didn’t trust his own family, always stirring up trouble as if he wanted to be beaten or killed. In the end, he was tricked by others. Such a brainless fool, how could he compare to you? To think he wanted Haohan Group—simply foolish beyond measure!"
Old Master Si started to cough.
"Grandfather, don’t get angry," Si Yuhuan immediately patted his back.
Old Master Si, with reddened eyes, looked at Si Yuhuan. "Grandfather has no other hopes. I just think the Si Family hasn’t achieved today’s success easily; it’s the effort of generations. Junyan brought his demise upon himself; if he’s dead, he has only himself to blame. You must remember to protect Haohan Group and safeguard the Si Family. To achieve all this, you only need to seek Jian Xi’s forgiveness and remarry. Then, even in death, Grandfather can close his eyes in peace."
The conversation shifting from such a tragic matter to the topic of urging remarriage made Si Yuhuan feel somewhat helpless.
"Remember what Grandfather says! If you can’t remarry Xixi, I will die with regrets!"
I do want to remarry, but now it’s Jian Xi who refuses.
Si Yuhuan could not voice this and placated his grandfather, "Don’t worry, we will remarry. It’s just a matter of time."
Seeing that Si Yuhuan did not outright reject the idea of remarriage, Old Master Si finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It was a silver lining amidst the bad news, bringing him some consolation.
"That’s right! After all, at the critical moment, Xixi still thought of us! And your ability to firmly reclaim Haohan Group—wasn’t that also thanks to Xixi? Tomorrow, invite Xixi over for dinner."
Si Yuhuan’s lips twitched slightly, and he nodded. "Alright."
「That evening, Jian Xi received an invitation from Si Yuhuan.」
"A thank-you dinner. You’re not scared to come, are you?"
Si Yuhuan’s casual tone provoked Jian Xi’s damnable competitive streak.
"Why would I be scared? Besides, it’s a good opportunity to see how Grandfather is recovering."
I’ll feel more at ease leaving the country then.
"Alright, then I’ll come to pick you up."
"No need, I can drive myself."
Si Yuhuan’s voice regained its usual commanding tone. "Be obedient."
Jian Xi pursed her lips. It had been a long time since she heard him sound so domineering. Reflecting on everything that had happened over the past month and a half, she agreed as if possessed by a ghost. "Fine."
After hanging up the phone, she came to her senses. "What the heck? Why should I listen to you? Obedient my ass!"
She threw her phone away.
On the other end, Si Yuhuan was quite happy; it was as if his good mood cleared the cloudy skies over Haohan Group, bringing sunshine.
With Si Yuhuan’s return, the leadership at Haohan Group remained unchanged, but the addition of his trusted aides made operations even more efficient, sharp, and stable. The office area was brimming with a bustling, thriving vitality.
The employees of Haohan Group were united, achieving an unprecedented level of solidarity.
Si Yuhuan initiated bold reforms upon his arrival.
On one hand, he maintained Si Junyan’s planned targets, ensuring a continuous cash flow for Haohan Group and keeping basic operations unrestricted. On the other hand, he began constructing new research bases and pouring in massive funds. Furthermore, he recruited ambitious individuals from around the world by offering high salaries and remuneration that made everyone in the industry green with envy. He also continued to ramp up investment in chip development and manufacturing.
Tianyao Group felt the pressure from Si Yuhuan’s return and his rapid success in getting Haohan Group back on track.
At the meeting, many raised questions to Fu Shengyuan.
In the end, they were quelled by a single look from him.
Fu Shengyuan spoke coolly and indifferently to them with just one sentence, "As long as Luo You is around, Tianyao Group won’t fall into disorder."
Some whispered softly, asking, "What if Luo You isn’t around?"
"How could he not be around? Don’t talk nonsense. Be careful, or President Fu will lose his temper with you."
Fu Shengyuan’s face turned cold, his expression grim, and the man quickly fell silent.
Fu Shengyuan scanned everyone with his eyes. "With me in charge of Tianyao Group, there’s no need to panic over every little thing. Si Yuhuan is formidable, but has he actually secured the title of top tycoon? What are you afraid of? That I can’t win people’s hearts or control Luo You? Or do you feel someone among you is more suited to my position?"
"No, no, that’s not what we meant. We’re just being cautious, President Fu. Please don’t overthink it."
Fu Shengyuan’s handsome face remained cold. "Stick to your duties. Don’t let me hear such alarmist talk again. Moreover, all departments must be strictly supervised."
"What about the research base?" someone asked.
"I will send people to guard it strictly," Fu Shengyuan pledged confidently.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. "Alright then, we’ll leave it to President Fu to take extra care."
No one dared to offend him. He always gave off an impression of being unfathomable. The Fu Family was falling apart, and only he could hold it together. Such a person should never be crossed.
The meeting ended hastily.
Fu Shengyuan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
Si Yuhuan... he’s truly like a wildfire that can’t be extinguished; no matter how much it burns, the spring breeze brings it back to life!
Secretary Xiaozhang stepped forward. "President Fu, will you be meeting Miss Jian tonight?"
For several consecutive days, Fu Shengyuan had waited at the entrance of Louwang.
Jian Xi, upon seeing him, acted as if he weren’t there, euphemistically calling it "risk avoidance."
"Xiaozhang, do you think she’s serious about Zhang Yaxuan?"
"This..."
He wouldn’t dare say.
"President Fu, what do you think?"
He felt clever for kicking the ball back.
"Never going out on dates, not even sharing a meal—don’t you find it too strange?"
Xiaozhang’s eyes lit up at the mention, then dimmed. "But he goes to Miss Jian’s Louwang to report in every day!"
