17: Chapter 0017: Is It Because of Him?
Jiangzhong City First People’s Hospital!
In one of the hospital’s deluxe wards, Kang Huaiyuan lay quietly in bed, his body swathed in bandages, looking just like a mummy.
Upon learning of Kang Huaiyuan’s beating, Kang Wenyuan rushed to the hospital and learned the whole story.
Despite knowing that his brother was at fault, rage and concern filled Kang Wenyuan’s eyes as he looked at Kang Huaiyuan wrapped up on the hospital bed like a mummy.
Kang Huaiyuan had over a dozen ribs broken at Huangtu Group, his arm and leg ruined, yet Qiu Ruoxi never came to see him, merely sending someone over.
After getting a full report on the medical condition and the successful surgery, the person left, fueling the fire raging in Kang Wenyuan’s heart as if a bucket of gasoline had been poured into it.
What infuriated him even more was that when he called Qiu Ruoxi to demand Ye Xunhuan be handed over, not only did she refuse, but she also threatened him with legal actions.
This only further enraged Kang Wenyuan.
After who knows how long, Kang Huaiyuan, who had been in a coma due to significant blood loss, slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot and even bruised.
The moment his eyes opened, a surge of intense pain hit him like a tide, forcing a pained moan from Kang Huaiyuan’s lips!
Seeing Kang Huaiyuan open his eyes, Kang Wenyuan quickly asked, “Huaiyuan, how are you?”
“Brother, I want revenge.
I want to flay that bastard alive!” Kang Huaiyuan uttered through clenched teeth.
In his eyes flickered a malevolent glow, like that of an evil spirit.
When had Kang Huaiyuan ever suffered such indignity, such a beating, and in front of so many people, no less, leaving him humiliated and disgraced?
The seed of hatred had been planted deep in his heart, so his first thought upon awakening from the coma was of revenge.
“Good, I’ll help you get revenge,” Kang Wenyuan said emphatically.
“I will make that bastard kneel in front of you and beg for forgiveness!”
Did Qiu Ruoxi think she could scare Kang Wenyuan by mentioning legal proceedings?
Kang Wenyuan was no pushover.
If Qiu Ruoxi wanted to follow legal procedures, trying to force a compromise and protect Ye Xunhuan, then he didn’t mind sorting things out using the underworld’s rules!
“And that little bitch, she can’t be let off either!” Kang Huaiyuan said viciously.
“I’ll sell her to the dirtiest nightclub where she will become the plaything of thousands…”
Inside Huangtu Group, Tang Yurou’s misfortune turned into a stroke of luck as she leaped to become the head of the Supervisory Department with Ye Xunhuan’s assistance, shaking the entire Mingzhu Group.
They had considered countless outcomes regarding Ye Xunhuan, including the possibility that the company might compensate Tang Yurou, but they had never imagined it would turn out !
Not only was Ye Xunhuan not fired for beating Kang Huaiyuan, but he also wasn’t punished.
Instead, he was immediately promoted, especially Tang Yurou, who had leapt over the dragon gate from a sparrows to a phoenix, becoming the head of the Supervisory Department.
Becoming a blade dangling over the heads of countless executives, a single fall of which could render many of them jobless.
The executives at Huangtu Group were restless, particularly those who had harbored inappropriate thoughts of Tang Yurou and had threatened her; they were now in a panic.
If this woman became the head of the Supervisory Department, would she use her power to settle scores and get revenge?
Suddenly, numerous people sought out Qiu Ruoxi, requesting her to reconsider or to call a shareholders’ meeting to discuss the establishment of a Supervisory Department; if there was to be one, they suggested it should be led by another outstanding person, not Tang Yurou.
However, Qiu Ruoxi rejected all these requests, her stance firm and unyielding.
Within Huangtu Group, she was the boss, holding a 45% share in the company, and with the additional 10% from her father, she wielded absolute controlling power; the opinions of others rendered ineffective!
Qiu Ruoxi’s refusal sent the executives into an even greater frenzy.
Since Qiu Ruoxi wouldn’t take back her decision, insisting on her own way, they were helpless, unless they chose not to work there any longer.
But faced with such generous treatment, who would want to leave?
And after leaving, would there be such good treatment elsewhere?
If everything had to start from scratch after leaving, then you go to another company, but without confidants there, you would seem isolated and unsupported, having to take everything slowly.
But it was different if you stayed at the Imperial Map Group, which had a profound heritage.
Thus, these people each came up with the idea to ingratiate themselves with Tang Yurou, hoping to curry favor with her.
Now, she was someone they couldn’t afford to offend, being the head of the Supervisory Department—essentially the most influential person in the company, aside from the president, vice president, and bigwigs like Qin Muge.
Let’s put it this way, the so-called head of the Supervisory Department is like the imperial envoy dispatched by the ancient emperor, wielding the royal sword.
Isn’t that impressive!
Thinking back on everything they had done to Tang Yurou before, these people were filled with regret.
If only they had known this woman would soar so high, who would have gone after her and brought trouble upon themselves for nothing?
And others were filled with regret too.
If only they had known, they might have gone forward and given Kang Huaiyuan a beating.
Perhaps then, this pie would have fallen right onto their heads!
And Tang Yurou herself was shocked silly by this new personnel appointment.
Head of the Supervisory Department?
One of the most powerful bigwigs in the company?
Ye Xunhuan was also stunned.
Damn it, did that mean he didn’t have to deliver parcels anymore?
He had become equivalent to a deputy department head?
“Congratulations, Director Tang!” Qin Muge said indifferently.
Hearing Qin Muge’s words, Tang Yurou gradually returned to her senses, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke, “Qin…
are you sure there isn’t a mistake?
“No mistake!” Qin Muge said with assertive moderation: “The president just told me personally.
From now on, you are the head of the Supervisory Department, and your office will be set up on the ninth floor!”
“As for the other positions in the Supervisory Department, you’ll need to choose them yourself.
It can be employees from within the company or external hires.
But one thing’s for sure, they must be upright.”
Even as Qin Muge said this, Tang Yurou still found it somewhat unbelievable—the transformation of an ugly duckling into a swan happening to her, of all people.
“Alright, Director Tang, pack your things and come with me to the ninth floor to see your office!”
As if sensing Tang Yurou’s thoughts, Qin Muge interrupted her before she could finish, “Director Tang, then I’ll wait for you in the office.
With that said, Qin Muge didn’t linger long and turned to leave the area, leaving Tang Yurou standing there, dazed.
Once Qin Muge had gone, the others immediately approached, and one by one began to congratulate Tang Yurou.
But more than that, there was envy.
In fact, many women were thinking, why hadn’t Kang Huaiyuan harassed them instead?
If it had been them, they could have been the head of the Supervisory Department.
Meanwhile, Tang Yurou’s expression was somewhat stiff.
A pie had fallen from the sky and hit her, Cinderella, on the head.
Following that, Tang Yurou slowly turned her head and set her gaze on Ye Xunhuan.
Was it because of him?
