Chapter 356 - Office Visit (II)



Grandfather Jiang glanced at his granddaughter who was still smiling politely even after being told off in front of everyone and furrowed his brows. She sure knows how to feign a smile. 

Her innocent smile is what has fooled him all this time! When did she turn so wicked, he wondered. 

" Mr. Chairman, let me escort you to your office. Should I ask someone to prepare your favorite, Pu-Erh tea?" Jiang Ru asked in a honey-like sweet voice while following him behind.  Jiang Yahui frowned to see his father\'s cold attitude towards Jiang Ru but followed him inside the company while his daughter tried to impress the old man.

However, Grandfather Jiang didn\'t pay any heed to her and turned to his secretary who was walking a step behind him, "Inform all the board members to gather at the conference room for a meeting in an hour. Also, bring all the contracts that have been processed in the last few months." He ordered.

" Yes, Chairman." The man responded politely and got on with work right away. 

While Gu De was busy arranging the meeting, Jiang Ru turned around and glanced at her father in confusion. \' What\'s going on? Did you do anything to upset him?\' She looked at him with a suspicious gaze. 

Jiang Yahui noticed his daughter\'s suspicious gaze and shook his head in denial. He stared at the back of his father and sighed in cluelessness. He has no idea what\'s going on in his father\'s head. 

Has he become paranoid because of his dear granddaughter\'s death? Why is he overreacting like this? 

-

After Jiang Yue\'s death, Grandfather Jiang stopped visiting the company and always cooped inside his dark-dimly lighted study room at Jiang Mansion. 

Before her death, Grandfather Jiang used to handle the company\'s major affairs and used to check every single report and details regarding any major projects. After the death of his eldest son and Jiang Yue\'s father, he never stopped working for once. 

He didn\'t even pass his responsibilities to Jiang Yahui, even though he is also his son. He never trusted in him. 

He had appointed him as the CEO of the company, who has no power whatsoever. He is just a powerless CEO who needs the permission of the Chairman before taking any important decision. 

All the reports regarding any projects require a signature and approval from the Chairman. 

He cannot make any decisions and just works as the nominal head of the company. However, after Jiang Yue\'s death when the old man stopped coming to the company, everyone assumed that the power system in the company would finally change. 

Seeing the way Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru were taking all the major decisions for the company and acting as the temporary head of the company in the absence of Grandfather Jiang, they assumed that Jiang Ru will finally be promoted from the Managing Director post and will succeed the company as the only left heir of Jiang Corporations.

Not only that, the girl has potential and proved this to everyone in the last year.

Things were finally going according to them, so why did he suddenly come to the company? Is he planning to finally hand over the company\'s control to them?  Jiang Yahui pondered. 

_

An hour later, everyone gathered at the conference hall for the board meeting arranged by Grandfather Jiang at the last minute. 

All the members were confused and the chaotic low-whispers could be heard even from outside the meeting room. Grandfather Jiang who was standing outside the meeting room, his brows creased upon hearing the loud whispers that were reaching to his ears. 

Gu De glanced at the old man who was staring at the door handle intently for the last five minutes and hadn\'t shown any intention to open the door and enter the meeting room. However, after taking a deep breath, Grandfather Jiang finally said in a weak-low voice, " Open the door." 

Gu De complied and opened the door for him. As soon as the door of the meeting room was pushed open, the room fell into an uncomfortable stillness. Everyone settled on their seats and straightened their suits to greet the Chairman. 

Grandfather Jiang nodded at the board members who stood up to greet him and took his head chair which is in the center of the table. Jiang Ru was sitting on his right, meanwhile his son, Jiang Yahui was sitting on his left, waiting for him to commence the meeting. 

The old man scrutinized everyone\'s tense and confused expressions and clasped his hands on the table before speaking, " I know my presence here must have surprised everyone. The last year wasn\'t easy for me as I was…mourning over the death of my youngest granddaughter who suddenly passed away in an….accident." He said in a deep, hoarse-hesitant voice. 

" Unknowingly, because of this reason, I have ignored the responsibilities of the company that I have established myself. I apologize for the irresponsible behavior that I have presented in front of everyone." He continued. 

  "In the last year, Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui have helped me to manage the company in my absence. I am thankful for their and everyone\'s support."

" However, now I have come to a decision. As the focal head of the Jiang Corporations, I have decided to-" He paused in his words and glanced at Jiang Ru who was trying to contain her blooming smile. 

Jiang Ru\'s lips curved in a crescent shape, as she tried to hide her excitement. Is he finally going to acknowledge her existence and make her the successor of the company?

  Finally, that day has come. 

If Jiang Yue would have been here, he would have definitely given this responsibility to her. However, she is not here anymore. 

Now no one can take away what belongs to her, only her. 

The smirk that others failed to notice, Grandfather Jiang managed to witness that sight of hers. This made his eyes darken as ripples of burning lava started to form inside her. 

She still has the nerve to be excited about it? He gritted his teeth. However, he didn\'t show his true emotions towards Jiang Ru in front of everyone and announced, " I have decided to not push back on my responsibilities and from now on, I will resume my duties and will start coming to the office again."

" Although I have appointed Jiang Yahui as the temporary head after the death of Jiang Yue to manage all the affairs of the company, I would like to take that burden off his shoulders now. Jiang Yahui, you can relax now, you have worked hard." He turned to Jiang Yahui whose mouth was left hanging at his sudden announcement.

" From now on, all the reports regarding any project, major or minor, everything will be required to have my approval before being processed." He declared in a cold and firm voice. 

Everyone was shocked by his sudden announcement and couldn\'t help but wonder if something was going on in the Jiang Family. Rather than transferring the responsibility to his son and granddaughter, the old man wants to take the control of the company in his hands, once again? Why? 

Jiang Ru\'s eyes widened in shock as this news came like a deafening thunder on her. The blood from her face drained in an instant and turned white upon hearing that he would snatch all the powers from them. 

What will this make them in front of others? After this, they will have prominent positions in the company with no significant powers? What the hell!!

" Grandfather…" Jiang Ru spoke up. However, she stopped right away upon seeing Grandfather Jiang\'s darkened expressions. 

She gulped nervously and tried again, " Mr. Chairman, I think you should consider this decision of yours once again. Your health is not in good condition anymore. Rather than stressing yourself with the responsibilities of the company, you should stay at home and rest." 

The other board members also nodded in agreement. He was not only getting old but also, after Jiang Yue\'s death, his health also started to weaken, making him appear older than his actual age. 

" Yes, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Jiang is right. You should now focus on your health and take a rest. Ms. Jiang and the CEO are here to handle the work and are doing a great job in leading the company towards success." A man in his 50s commented, earning a thankful nod from Jiang Ru. 

Grandfather Jiang\'s lips curled up in a smile that had no warmth in it seeing everyone supporting Jiang Ru. He knew that they would not accept this decision of his easily. 

This girl is good at making social connections after all. Hah, in such a short time, she has made all the board members side with her. 

" Rest? I would love to do that too. I am also getting old and after losing Jiang Yue, I have gotten tired from living as well. However, If the company was working fine, would I have the need to come forward and take charge of the burdensome responsibilities again?" Grandfather Jiang questioned, leaving everyone stunned with his sudden change in attitude.
