Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Gear Up_1
Now, inside Xinghai Media Company, many people were whirring into action like gears grinding in rapid motion.
Xu Yixue had already arranged for the core employees of Xinghai Media to investigate the evidence of the previous management department’s embezzlement of company assets and had long grasped the most crucial firsthand information; it’s just that for various reasons, she hadn’t been quick to confront the previous executives.
But now it was a matter of the company’s survival. Xu Yixue, even if she still possessed a woman’s kindness, had to sacrifice the carriage to save the general, not to mention that they were nothing but parasites of the company from the past. She hadn’t exposed them because her footing hadn’t been stable and she didn’t want to cause a stir within the company. Now that it was time to show her hand, she naturally had to act swiftly and resolutely.
Since the Legal Department was the first one Xu Yixue informed, its efficiency was the highest. In less than half an hour, Xu Hansheng, the deputy director of the Legal Department, had already delivered to Xu Yixue’s office all the criminal evidence and related legal documents involving the previous five executives in collective embezzlement and financial fraud.
Xu Hansheng was from the Xu Family and a person Xu Yixue had brought from the family to Xinghai Media when she took over as president. In Xinghai Media, he could be said to be loyal only to Xu Yixue.
After handing over all the documents to Xu Yixue, Xu Hansheng gave her a respectful bow and then turned to leave the office.
“Hansheng, how many years have you been working in Xu Corporation?” Xu Yixue called out to Xu Hansheng and asked calmly.
“President Xu, I joined the family business right after graduating at twenty-three; it has been fifteen years now,” Xu Hansheng answered reservedly.
Although everyone in Xinghai Media felt a sense of impending doom, as if a great building were about to collapse and a storm was coming, Xu Hansheng didn’t see it that way.
His strongest reliance was Xu Yixue.
Don’t be fooled by Xu Yixue’s delicate and stunning appearance; in fact, as soon as she joined the company, she had already foresaw all the crises and had arranged for trustworthy people like Xu Hansheng to investigate secretly.
Although Xu Hansheng was from the Xu Family, his low birth and having offended the powerful elders of the Xu Family meant he was having a tough time there, so when Xu Yixue returned to the country and learned about Xu Hansheng’s situation, she took him in without a second thought.
Therefore, Xu Hansheng could be considered the most loyal to Xu Yixue in the entire Xinghai Media, aside from Ye Xiaoning.
“Hansheng, once the company gets through this crisis, take on a bit more responsibility. I’ll need you to take the position of deputy general manager,” Xu Yixue said with a smile to Xu Hansheng.
“President Xu… I…” Xu Hansheng was a bit choked up upon hearing Xu Yixue’s words.
Having thought that offending the family’s power broker meant his days were numbered, he didn’t expect that following Xu Yixue would grant him such a fantastic opportunity.
Xu Yixue was the future heir of the Xu Family, and Xu Hansheng was like an attendant studying with the crown prince.
If Xu Yixue could successfully take her place in the future, then Xu Hansheng would rise alongside her, and even the power broker he had once offended would have to come and curry favor with him.
Therefore, upon hearing Xu Yixue’s words, Xu Hansheng felt the excitement of a clear sky after a storm.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t dreamed of victory after enduring hardships, but he hadn’t expected the opportunity to come so quickly.
“Hansheng, your abilities are clear for all to see, and I believe in you. Although you’ve faced some unfair treatment in the family, rest assured that I will, in the future, help you reclaim the dignity you lost!” Xu Yixue said calmly, yet with extraordinary determination.
“Thank you, President Xu. I, Xu Hansheng, will definitely follow you faithfully…” Xu Hansheng, containing his excitement, expressed his loyalty to Xu Yixue.
“Alright, now go and put all your efforts into following up with the Legal Department. Remember, around nine o’clock is when we take the initiative in the media. Once I send you a message, publish all the drafted investigation information and requests for cooperation online to create the biggest media impact. This time, Xinghai Media must fight back with our backs against the wall, embracing death for the chance to live!” Xu Yixue revealed a firm smile, confidently speaking.
“Understood, I believe that with your leadership, President Xu, Xinghai Media will definitely hold on,” Xu Hansheng, inspired by Xu Yixue’s spirit, asserted with a clenched fist.
“Good, you may go now. You’ll have to work overtime these next few days, continuously tracking the entire situation. As soon as there’s any news, report it to me immediately.”
“Understood. Then I’m heading out now, President Xu.”
Xu Hansheng gave Xu Yixue another respectful bow before turning and leaving the president’s office.
As a member of the Xu Family, a top entertainment industry dynasty, after witnessing Xu Yixue’s actions, Xu Hansheng was even more convinced of one thing: Xinghai Media would not fall, and the future heir of the Xu Family might very well continue to be Xu Yixue.
Following Xu Yixue, his future was exceedingly bright.
After Xu Hansheng left, Xu Yixue called over the head of the Planning Department.
Chen Shiyu’s comeback video had just been sent to Xu Yixue’s mobile phone, and now all the Planning Department needed to do was a bit of editing, and soon it would be an event that would shock the entire entertainment circle.
“Take a look at this video and edit it. I want everyone in the news and newspapers, especially those who love browsing Douyin, to know about this in an hour,” Xu Yixue said as she handed her phone to the director of the Planning Department, which displayed the video sent by Chen Shiyu.
The video content was simple; it showed Chen Shiyu standing in front of the camera speaking a few words, mainly thanking her fans for their tireless support over the years. She had taken a short break from the entertainment industry due to personal reasons. After years of rest, her physical and mental state had gradually recovered, and she would be making a comeback soon, choosing Xinghai Media in Zhonghai City as her company.
Chen Shiyu’s fame was well-known to everyone in media, and upon seeing the video, the director of the Planning Department was as if struck by lightning, staring with wide eyes, and incredulously asked Xu Yixue, “President… she… is… Chen Shiyu?”
“Come on, you’ve been in media entertainment for ages, and you don’t recognize Chen Shiyu?” Xu Yixue said with a trace of amusement.
“Eh, that’s not what I mean… hasn’t Chen Shiyu retired already? It’s been five years, and so many major companies have tried to find her, to coax her to make a comeback. How… how… you actually managed to…” the director of the Planning Department stuttered, tripping over his words.
