It was almost the New Years. Ye Qingran moved from the small villa to the Ye family home temporarily.

  During this period of time, Ye Jun was especially busy with work and only returned home once every few days.

  Ye Chenfeng was on winter break, but he followed his professor on an inspection trip.

  Song Ye would be on set and only return on the eve of the Lunar New Year, while Ye Hanzhi was still abroad.

  There was only Lin Shu’er at home, so Ye Qingran was quite relaxed and at ease.

  On New Year’s Eve, it was rare for Ye Jun to get off work early, so he came back to accompany Ye Qingran and Lin Shu’er for a meal.

  Lin Shu’er was especially happy and became his personal caretaker. She would ask him what he wanted to drink, followed by what he wanted to eat.

  Ye Jun looked a little tired, and in a low mood. He casually ate a few mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks. He took out his phone and sat in the living room to make some calls, assigning work to his subordinates.

  Lin Shu’er held a large fruit plate and placed it on the coffee table.

  She looked at Ye Jun with heartache. “Hubby, when will Old One come back?”


  She was thinking that Ye Hanzhi’s return would help Ye Jun, and Ye Jun wouldn’t need to leave early and return late every day, to the point that he wouldn’t even be able to sleep well.

  Ye Jun said with a dark face, “There’s a problem with his project. Someone reported that there was insider trading when the project was being carried out, and the project executive made 50 million illegally from it. Therefore, before the investigation report is out, Old One won’t come back. It looks like it won’t be settled before the New Year.”


  Lin Shu’er asked, “Will this matter affect the company?”


  “Don’t worry. The company’s foundation is quite solid. Its reputation has always been good, and nothing will happen for the time being. The stock price is very stable, and there’s no problem for now.”


  Although Ye Jun said so, he was actually quite uneasy in his heart.

  He was afraid that the investigation report would cause a bad impact and cause the company’s stock price to fall sharply. Then, someone would suddenly appear to attempt a hostile takeover.

  The Investment Securities Department was an important department of the company, and it had always been under Ye Hanzhi’s watch.

  Since Ye Hanzhi went abroad, he had been personally managing it, and Ye Hanzhi had been assisting from the side.

  But he had been too busy recently.

  He could only assign someone he trusted completely to overlook the Investment Securities Department.

  With this thought in mind, Ye Jun’s gaze fell on Ye Qingran, who was watching television at the side.

  After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Old Fourth, you don’t have much to do during the holiday. Go to work tomorrow.”


  Ye Qingran used a fork to pick up a watermelon, and put it in her mouth.

  Go to work?

  Could she refuse?

  Ye Jun said again, “After all, you will have to go to the company to help out later. Take this opportunity to go to the company to learn in advance.”


  Ye Qingran asked, “I still have a lot of summer homework, I…”


  Lin Shu’er interrupted her, “If your father wants you to go, then go. When can you not do your homework?”


  Such a good opportunity, this silly child could not give it up.

  As long as she entered the company and held power in the company, even if she was found to be a girl, she would not have to be afraid.

  Lin Shu’er said to Ye Jun, “Don’t worry, Qingran will go.”


  Ye Jun’s tone was very serious. “Although I’m only asking you to learn, it’s the end of the year now. There are a lot of things happening in the company recently. It looks like the impact on the company’s stock price is very small, but the risk is also very high. After you go, other than learning well, you also have to help your big brother look after the department. The Investment Securities Department is the most important department in the company.”


  Ye Qingran felt a tinge of helplessness in his voice.

  It was obvious that Ye Jun asked her to go because he didn’t have any other choice.

  Based on the information from before, the biggest risk that the Ye family currently faced was indeed the Investment Securities Department, which appeared to be calm and peaceful.

  At this critical juncture, many vultures were staring at the Ye family, treating it like a plate of fat meat. They hovered in the air, waiting for the most suitable opportunity to share the meat.

  If the Ye family was not careful, they might return to square one overnight.

  Forget it, just go then.

  Since she was free, she might as well.

  Moreover, regardless of whether she was their daughter or not, this body was their daughters’. This could be considered her repayment.

  The Ye family Investment Securities Department.

  Usually, this department was especially serious. Colleagues would still gossip among themselves, but they only dared to gossip in the pantry. Moreover, their voices were especially low.

  Today was different from the past. They walked around very frequently, and one could hear their whispers from time to time.

  “What the hell? Chairman Ye actually let Fourth Young Master Ye work in our department, and he temporarily replaced Director Ye. Is our department going to change boss?”


  Chairman Ye was referring to Ye Jun. Director Ye was referring to Ye Hanzhi.

  “Change? How is that possible? How can this Ye Qingran compare to Director Ye?”


  “I’ve heard that this Fourth Young Master Ye is an ignorant profligate. He doesn’t know anything and only knows how to play with women.”


  “It’s really not worth it for Director Ye. He’s working so hard on the outside but this useless person is taking everything.”
……

  As Ye Hanzhi’s assistant, Hua Rong was also extremely unwilling to let Ye Qingran temporarily take over Ye Hanzhi’s management of the Investment Securities Department.

  However, Ye Hanzhi had called.

  He asked her to properly assist Ye Qingran during this period of time, and to listen to Ye Qingran’s decisions regarding the company.

  Hua Rong thought to herself with amusement, listen to Ye Qingran? What would Ye Qingran know?

  If she really listened to Ye Qingran, then big issues would probably happen in this department.

  However, she also knew that the Ye family had been in a lot of trouble recently. At this time, they absolutely could not have internal strife, or else it would only make things worse.

  Hua Rong pushed the door open and walked into the office.

  She saw a young man sitting on the large leather chair with his face facing the sky. The black shirt made him look calm and noble, and also made his skin look snow-white. He was even more beautiful than a woman.

  Ye Qingran completely inherited his mother’s beauty.

  That was true. If Lin Shu’er did not have a beautiful face, an ordinary clerk would not have been able to marry into the Ye family and become Mrs. Ye.

  Seeing Hua Rong enter, Ye Qingran glanced at her.

  Hua Rong handed over the document in her hand. “Fourth Young Master Ye, these are the few items that the analysts have picked out recently.”


  Ye Qingran did not reach out to take it. She only said lightly, “Put them on the table.”


  She leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes, looking as if she was still asleep.

  Hua Rong wanted to say something and moved her lips, but she decided against it.

  Seeing that she did not move, Ye Qingran opened her eyes again and looked at her lazily. “Do you have anything else?”


  Hua Rong gave a perfect, mechanical smile and asked, “I just wanted to ask if I should show you the risk assessment reports for the few projects that are currently underway.”


  Ye Qingran casually replied, “Sure.”


  “Alright, I’ll be going then.”


  Hua Rong closed the door, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.

  She really could not understand why Chairman Ye wanted Ye Qingran to come to the company. How could a high school student who had not graduated yet be working here? It was simply nonsense.

  Unfortunately, she was only an assistant.

  She would do whatever the boss said. She would not question the boss’ rights.

  Now, she only hoped that Ye Qingran would not deliberately cause trouble!
