Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole (Part 1)
d was directly hung up on. Rong Ling’s heart felt like it was on fire. A man and a woman alone together, who knows what kind of things would happen That woman was a little temptress, it wouldn't be s...Upon hearing of this good fortune, Rong Qiru immediately exclaimed with delight and wanted to celebrate. But Rong Ling immediately shut him down.
"Not officially in office yet, what's there to celebrate If this gets out, people might think you're being too ostentatious!"
Rong Qirui jokingly said, "Brother, with a personality like yours, are you still afraid of attracting attention"
"Of course I'm not afraid, but Mengmeng is the one who took on this matter, so I naturally have to consider her carefully. Well then, whether it's good news or not, let's have a small celebration. You guys stay for lunch today. However, I have one request: once you leave this door, keep your mouths shut and don't mention Mengmeng taking on the role of aunt-in-law."
"Why is that" the aunt immediately asked, and everyone else turned to look as well.
“If word gets out, everyone's eyes will be on us. Mengmeng will definitely have to follow her aunt immediately, otherwise, people will start to think something is amiss. At first when she takes over, things will be chaotic. There will be so much to do, it’ll be hard to catch a break in the next ten or half months. I've made plans, this weekend I'm going to take Mengmeng home to see my mom, and there are some other things I need to take care of, so I plan to let Mengmeng take over on Monday. Before that, we’ll finish up some of the things we have going on. So, Mengmeng taking over her aunt's position, we’ll announce it next Monday, it won't make a difference if we wait a few more days, right”
He's got a point there.
Everyone nodded in agreement. In the end, as long as Lin Meng agreed, it didn't matter if it was delayed for a few days!
Lin Meng then went out to instruct Yu Ma to prepare more dishes for the celebration. As noon approached, she also entered the kitchen and worked together with Yu Ma. The two little ones finished their morning class and rushed over after sending their teacher off. They smelled a delicious aroma of cooking as soon as they arrived. Upon seeing several beautifully prepared dishes on the table, the two children's mouths watered, and they scurried into the kitchen.
"Mommy, dinner is served so early today!"
"No, it's still open for a while. Today at noon your grandpa and the others are staying for lunch, so Mommy and Auntie Yu have to prepare more."
"Oh." The two youngsters understood and naturally joined the ranks of those helping out. [..tw super many good novels]
Actually, the two little arms are short and their bodies are small, they can't really help with much. However, the two little ones helping wash vegetables or something like that, they can manage. We shouldn't say because things are small, we think they have no value, so we don't let the two little ones do it. Their participation is a precious heart, worthy of praise.
Aunt Rong was bored upstairs and suggested coming down to help Lin Meng. When she entered the kitchen, she saw this scene. The two little ones were each sitting on a small stool, their mouths chattering, laughing as they washed vegetables. She found it very endearing.
"These two children are so well-behaved!"
Youyou and Haohuo looked up and politely greeted her. "Hello, Auntie,"
When Lin Meng was handling the affairs of the group, both the two little ones had met this aunt. However, how did Aunt come here Both of them were doubtful, but they didn't show it on their faces.
Aunt came over and readily offered to help. She was so enthusiastic that Lin Meng couldn't refuse her, so she let her stay in the kitchen. By the time the food was ready and everyone sat down for the meal, the two little ones finally understood why Aunt had come over.
"Let Mommy be the aunt" The little guy frowned. "Wouldn't that make Mommy very tired"
This thoughtful little guy, first consider this matter.
Don't underestimate this child's position in Lin Meng's heart. She quickly explained that she wasn't tired.
"Is Mommy going to live in the tribe"
Auntie immediately reiterated the three conditions Lin Meng had proposed and went on to describe the benefits of being good to Auntie.
Little Youyou nodded and stopped talking. Little Haohuo, on the other hand, seemed confused. Since his brother stopped asking, he didn't join in the commotion either.
Aunt immediately let out a sigh of relief, she didn't want all the carefully laid plans to fall apart at the hands of this little fellow. She certainly couldn't underestimate his cunning.
After the third round of drinks, Rong Ling spoke again, mentioning several people by name.
"Aunt, Uncle Four, Uncle Seven, I'll be blunt. As a woman myself, I can't bear to see her wronged. So, she took this on. If she gets hurt, I'll have her stop immediately."
"Huh" Everyone's face stiffened.
"Anyway, the official handover has to wait until after the year-end conference. During this period before the New Year's, it'll be a probationary period, I'll be watching carefully."
The three people who were named secretly thought that Rong Ling was indeed Rong Ling. He had finally reacted. Before, he agreed too quickly and smoothly, and now he immediately offered a counter-proposal as compensation. This man has never been one to suffer losses, let alone someone he values so much like Lin Meng. Fortunately, before they came, they had considered this aspect. With Rong Si's iron fist, it's unlikely that Lin Meng would suffer any grievances. But just in case things went awry later on, some things needed to be made clear from the very beginning. After all, the term "grievance" has a very wide range.
"Rong Ling, don't feel wronged. We definitely won't have anything like that happen. But if there are any small trivial matters or minor bumps along the way, please understand. You should know that in any workplace, there are bound to be some little things."
"Of course, I understand that." Rong Ling readily agreed.
Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief and relaxed again. After these people boarded the departing vehicles and discussed it in the car, they also felt satisfied. Looking at Rong Ling's attitude, it was sincere. Then, Lin Meng taking office was basically a done deal.
Could it be that Ke Rong really agreed!
Even all these old foxes combined, wouldn't be a match for Rong Ling alone!
He agreed so quickly, was it really because of Aunt's surprise attack that Rong Ling couldn't react for a moment Haha, if Rong Ling were such a weak character, he wouldn't be Rong Ling. He wouldn't be the head of the Rong family, the CEO of Yadong Group, or the CEO of Shuangmu Group. He certainly wouldn't be the excellent agent favored by the organization!
I agreed, but only out of convenience. He was thinking about how to deal with Du Caiyi when someone offered him a solution. Based on his understanding of Du Caiyi, she had been coveting her aunt's position for days. These days, she acted so well, and her domineering attitude before their parting was largely because her aunt was sick at the time. It seemed like things were getting serious, and it looked like they were going to choose a successor immediately. At such a crucial moment, she naturally had to try hard to impress them.
She had been acting so well, he didn't know how to start. And he didn't want to wait; if a quick resolution was possible, he wouldn't drag it out. This man would absolutely not allow anyone to repeatedly bully him. Du Caiyi had bothered his mother and lover several times, this kind of person, he couldn't just leave alone. He didn't move until he did, and once he did, he went all out, rooting them out completely.
Taking over as aunt-in-law is a great sign!
So, he should have been so quick to agree. His aunt said flowery words, sounding quite convincing, but for all these years, he was just a nominal head of the family, his experience in business was nothing. This position of his aunt sounded easy, like just stamping a few documents, but in reality, there were still many things to deal with. Besides, once she took on this role, she couldn't be so carefree. With all the clan's wealth under her control, how could she afford any accidents Her travels would be restricted. Now that his aunt rarely leaves the house, is it due to her personality or her own willingness You sit in such a prestigious position as an aunt, receiving such a high salary, and enjoying the respect and flattery of the clan members. With so much you've gained, how could the corresponding sacrifice be minimal His wife followed him, enduring so much hardship. Even their honeymoon was rushed and cut short. He still yearns to take her around the world, exploring every corner and savoring every delicacy. But with this position as an aunt, if he wants to travel freely with his wife, how could it be so easy
Moreover, people's hearts are the most unpredictable in this world, and they are also the most forgetful. Even though his wife has done so much recently, gaining the admiration and support of most of the clan, as time goes by, these things will gradually fade away. Who can maintain this kind of mood If he wasn't leading the clan from within, holding a position of power, there would inevitably be people who had ulterior motives, even those who gradually became discontented. Think back to when he was the head, he made great contributions to the clan. But when he was "forced" to abdicate, how many people stood up for him His wife is capable and will definitely do a good job as matriarch. However, human desires are insatiable and won't be satisfied so easily. What if some malicious people appear in front of his wife and say some hurtful things That would be heartbreaking. His treasured woman wouldn't deserve to be disliked and scorned after all her efforts.
If he were still at the Rong family and remained the head of the household, he would naturally take good care of his wife and wouldn't let those messy things happen. But he had no intention of staying. He didn't want to be so busy running around. The Rong family business was vast with many people, and the relationships were intricate and complicated. He couldn't trust others like he did with his brothers, directly giving them control of something important. Many things still required him to personally oversee them. All these things added up.
He still wants to take his wife out for a good time!
Besides, one's own industry and the public industry of the tribe can never be the same! How can being the mistress of one's own household be compared to being an aunt who manages money for others It's not that higher status is always better, but rather, being able to be the queen of your own kingdom, able to turn your hand over and bring forth clouds, and cover it again to bring rain, acting freely and effortlessly, that's what truly matters.
Moreover, money is something that can be earned gradually, but time waits for no one. And he doesn't need money anyway. While his younger brothers are still unmarried and not burdened by family affairs, able to help him take care of such a large group, he has to quickly take his own wife on a good trip. Otherwise, once his brothers are all married, there won't be so much free time.
Family matters can be handled, but there's no need to take on too much responsibility!
He knew exactly what his wife was thinking. It was about him disappearing at sea last time, scaring her half to death. Since his aunt had come prepared, she naturally hit the mark, so even though she wasn't very willing, she accepted it. This was his fault, and he would find a way to make amends.iang's mother, forcing back tears, choked and hastily went to wipe the tears from her face. She inadvertently grasped a warm little hand, soft and small to the touch.She was startled because the tears...
