"Fan, I think Mu-Cheng should run the company. I can't do it. I haven't done any business for over ten years. How can you give me such a high position from the moment I start? I don't think I can manage."
Ye Xi-Mei sat inside a luxurious office in Mufan Group's branch office dressed in a white pantsuit with her long hair done up with a phoenix hairpiece. From a distance, she looked elegant and gorgeous.
No one would have guessed that this elegant woman had lived in the countryside for ten years raising Ye Fan.
Even the most beautiful woman would age after ten years.
Just like Ye Xi-Mei.
Many years ago, Ye Xi-Mei once helped that man open the Chinese markets and ran his business.
As the saying went, behind every successful man was a successful woman.
And Ye Xi-Mei was the woman who stood behind Ye Fan's father.
It was no exaggeration to say that Ye Xi-Mei was the one who made the Chu family and its business so powerful back in the day.
Of course, Ye Xi-Mei only worked behind the scenes, so very few people knew about her.
In the whole world, only two people knew about it.
One of them was Ye Fan, while the other was the man whom Ye Xi-Mei vowed to spend her life with.
Of course, she had also ended up counting on the wrong man.
After being out of the business circles for so long, she was startled when Ye Fan wanted to make her CEO, so she kept rejecting him.
Instead, Ye Fan smiled and shook his head as he said, "Mum, it's okay. Just take your time. Moreover, when you used to help him run the entire family's business in the country, you dealt with hundreds of millions worth of turnover on a daily basis. I feel that it's a waste of your talent to make you a CEO of this little branch office as it is."
Qiu Mu-Cheng and Shin Yu-Xiang were instantly shocked to hear this.
"Oh my god! Did Auntie Xi-Mei use to be such a high flyer when she was young? If she took care of hundreds of millions of dollars on a daily basis, she ought to have been the deputy CEO or something, right?" exclaimed Shen Yu-Xiang in surprise.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was slightly stunned. She instantly felt that her mother-in-law wasn't as simple as she looked.
"It's all in the past now. Why talk about it?"
Ye Fan's words seemed to evoke dreadful memories in Ye Xi-Mei's mind, so she instantly became a lot less high spirited.
Ye Fan realized he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly stopped talking about it. Instead, he consoled her by saying, "Mum, you don't have to feel too stressed out. I will get Lei San to send someone and assist you.”
"Okay then." Since Ye Xi-Mei was incapable of changing Ye Fan's mind, she agreed to serve as CEO.
After taking care of his mother's matters, Ye Fan left the company with Shin Yu-Xiang.
It was night time, so the air was quiet while the moon glowed softly.
The two of them walked side by side on the busy streets of Jingzhou under the moonlight.
Now that Ye Fan had taken care of his mother and resolved his biggest worry, his mood lifted.
"Xiang, how are things doing on your end?
Have Wen-Ya's parents agreed to your marriage?" The two of them chatted as they walked.
Although Ye Fan had forcibly helped Shin Yu-Xiang to take Du Wen-Ya back at that wedding banquet, her parents refused to allow them to marry.
Shin Yu-Xiang came from the countryside, and more importantly, he didn't have a proper job, so it was hard for them to entrust their daughter to him.
