Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 309
The lawyer truly wanted to guide Ye Shaohua onto the right path.
Even if she had ambitions, she should wait until she had the actual strength to back them up.
While he was glad to see that Ye Shaohua had come to her senses and was no longer falling for the empty flattery and manipulation from her uncle’s family, he still believed that trying to reclaim control of the company at this moment was extremely unwise.
Not only had her uncle already won over the majority of the loyalties within Ye Corporation, but how were she and her younger brother supposed to handle a pack of wolves at the company all by themselves?
But after saying his piece, Ye Shaohua still had that same clueless look on her face.
The lawyer couldn’t help but sigh. She was, after all, just a high school student.
For over a decade, she had been sheltered in an ivory tower by her father, Ye Sheng, and had no idea how cutthroat the business world could be.
He couldn’t be too hard on her.
“Miss Ye,” the lawyer said, his expression turning serious as he considered this, “Let me handle this. Wait for me tomorrow, and we’ll go to Ye Corporation together.”
He then quickly made a phone call, seemingly discussing something with the person on the other end.
Even though she was some distance away, Ye Shaohua could still overhear the lawyer’s conversation. She raised an eyebrow slightly but didn’t say anything more to him. Instead, she simply hailed a taxi and went home.
Aside from two live-in housemaids, the house was empty. Ye Chen, her younger brother in this world, hadn’t returned home.
Thinking about it, it had already been three days since she arrived in this world, and she hadn’t seen this brother of hers even once.
But Ye Shaohua wasn’t anxious. She just sat in the living room.
“Miss, these are the items you requested,” one of the housemaids said, bringing down the motherboard and various components she had asked for from upstairs.
Ye Shaohua sat cross-legged on the carpet, dumped the parts onto the floor, and began assembling them.
She wanted to quickly put together a computer that could keep up with her typing speed, then draft a few templates for the Ning Corporation.
The two housemaids, busy in the kitchen, found it strange that this time, Ye Shaohua wasn’t watching TV, going out to hang with her questionable friends, or inviting a bunch of people over.
Just then, someone rushed into the house, fuming.
“Sis, what are you doing?!” Ye Chen yelled, his hair dyed bright yellow. “Why did you ask Uncle for the shares back? He froze all my bank cards! I saw this motorcycle I really wanted, but I can’t buy it now. Hurry up and give the agreement back to him—”
“Here.” Ye Shaohua casually tossed a bank card in Ye Chen’s direction.
That successfully shut him up.
Without even looking up, she finished installing the chip before finally raising her head to glance at him. “Starting tomorrow, you’re going to the company to learn from the seniors there.”
“Why me?” Ye Chen stared at the bank card in his hand, then back at her in disbelief. “Why do I have to go? Why don’t you go?”
“I can’t be bothered. Got a problem with that?” Ye Shaohua replied nonchalantly.
Having lived for years under his sister’s domineering presence, Ye Chen honestly didn’t dare to object!
But he still didn’t understand. What was so bad about being taken care of by their uncle? They had endless money to spend every day and lived without a care in the world. Now, thanks to her, he had to go learn some tedious management stuff at the company, and his cards were frozen.
He looked at the components in his sister’s hands, remembering what he’d heard outside—that she hadn’t gone out all night and had stayed in these past few days instead of running around with her friends.
Ye Chen glanced down at the bank card she had given him.
His sister probably didn’t know that their uncle would never deposit money into this card again. Yet she still gave it to him.
Although Ye Chen was a bit of a troublemaker, he wasn’t stupid. He smiled bitterly. With his sister’s spending habits, there was probably less than four digits left on this card.
He stuffed the card into his pocket, deciding not to tell Ye Shaohua the truth.
He didn’t actually plan to use the card either.
That night, Ye Chen received many calls inviting him to go racing or drinking, but he turned them all down.
Everyone in their circle knew that Ye Chen feared nothing and no one—except his violent older sister.
Hearing that, they all promptly stopped bothering him.
“This is a document just sent by the senior management at Ye Corporation. Read it carefully,” Ye Shaohua said after dinner, handing him a printed file from her room.
It wasn’t actually from Ye Corporation; she had compiled it herself, outlining the current situation at the company.
It included strategies for stabilizing the company’s morale after key technical personnel like Gao Heng left.
Scowling, Ye Chen took the document and stayed up late reading it.
In the room next door, Ye Shaohua also stayed up late, modifying a phone and a computer.
These were models she had asked the housemaids to buy from the electronics market.
Modifying them wasn’t too difficult.
The next day, Ye Chen changed into formal attire and went to Ye Corporation.
Ye Shaohua went with him.
At the company entrance, they saw the lawyer waiting for them by the door.
“This is a friend of mine,” the lawyer said when he saw the siblings, sighing almost imperceptibly before introducing them. “You can call him Analyst Li. He was an executive president at Company Z in M. Do your best to keep him.”
Upon hearing the lawyer’s words, Ye Shaohua lowered her head, focused on her phone, and didn’t react.
But Ye Chen looked as if he had found a lifeline. “Mr. Li! Please, come in with me!”
The employees at Ye Corporation had been notified early that morning about the impending change in management. They arrived at work with no heart for their tasks.
If those two completely inexperienced siblings were really going to come ruin the company, the employees felt it wasn’t worth wasting their time there any longer.
If Ye Corporation went bankrupt, they’d all be working for nothing.
“Young Master Ye,” a few of Ye Sheng’s trusted aides immediately took Ye Chen to the office as soon as he arrived and solemnly explained the company’s current situation. “So, that’s the overall picture. Young Master, what are your first plans?”
Hearing this question, Ye Chen’s eyes lit up.
This was covered in the document from last night!
He answered without even thinking.
Because of his response, the people in the office immediately looked at him with newfound respect.
They asked a few more follow-up questions, all of which Ye Chen recalled from the document and answered perfectly.
“What do you think?” the lawyer asked Analyst Li beside him.
Analyst Li looked at Ye Chen, his eyes shining. “The sister might be hopeless, but the brother is promising talent,” he said, his voice trembling with excitement. “Are you sure Ye Chen has never studied management or finance?”
The lawyer was surprised. He hadn’t expected Analyst Li to have such a high opinion of Ye Chen. “No, Mr. Ye never planned for them to get involved with the company so early. But it seems Ye Chen has a natural talent for it?”
“It’s more than just talent!” Analyst Li whispered. “He’s anticipated every possible scenario. His ability to think ten steps ahead with each move is truly brilliant. I dare say, even without me, he could manage the company perfectly well on his own! His insight is on par with my mentor back in M. This is really… a gift from heaven.”
Seeing Analyst Li’s flushed, excited face, the lawyer was stunned.
He didn’t say anything, just stared intently at Ye Chen.
He breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Although the sister was irresponsible for recklessly taking back the company shares, at least the brother could shoulder the burden and handle the mess she created.
Otherwise, the lawyer would have felt he had failed the deceased Ye Sheng.
The senior management at Ye Corporation also sensed Ye Chen’s talent from his brief remarks and collectively sighed in relief.
Ye Shaohua leaned against the doorway the entire time, ignored by everyone.
Watching the group excitedly focused on Ye Chen, she wandered to a corner of the office, picked up a disposable cup, and poured herself some water.
Just then, the office door was pushed open forcefully.
While sipping her water, Ye Shaohua glanced toward the door.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Several people followed behind him. He held his head high, clearly used to being revered at Ye Corporation, and his expression was full of arrogance.
The moment the senior management saw these people, their attitudes immediately became submissive.
“Manager Gao,” one of them said, pulling Ye Chen along and speaking humbly, “Our young lady was being foolish. Manager Gao, you’re magnanimous. Please forgive these two siblings. As long as you’re willing to stay with the company, you can set any conditions.”
Gao Heng had come to see Ye Chen and the others precisely for this matter.
He looked at Ye Chen and the people around him and said leisurely, “I’m not like my brother-in-law. I don’t believe in making things difficult for people. As long as Ye Corporation is willing to pay a small price, I’d be happy to stay.”
As long as Gao Heng was willing to stay, that was what mattered. From last night’s documents, Ye Chen knew exactly how important Gao Heng was to Ye Corporation.
So he didn’t immediately refuse. Instead, he asked, “Manager Gao, what are your conditions?”
“Seven percent of Ye Corporation’s shares, plus the usual benefits,” Gao Heng stated.
The senior management exchanged glances, their faces grim.
Ye Chen was also stumped. Last night’s document hadn’t covered how to respond to this.
Seeing Ye Chen’s confused expression, Analyst Li walked over to him. “Gao Heng is just after shares. Negotiate with him properly. The most important thing right now is to keep him happy.”
Gao Heng wasn’t stupid. He knew his own worth, so he hadn’t put all his eggs in his brother-in-law’s basket.
If the people at Ye Corporation knew what was good for them, they would definitely try to win him over at any cost.
Analyst Li had looked into Ye Corporation before coming. At this stage, the company’s development couldn’t proceed without Gao Heng’s technical expertise.
Hearing the senior management and Analyst Li say this, Ye Chen began, “Alright, but—”
“Alright? Alright what?” Ye Shaohua nearly threw her cup at him. She was still holding her phone in her other hand. Tilting her head to look over, her profile was as cold and sharp as jade. “Who needs your pathetic technical skills?”
