After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 173 Who is in charge?

Old Master Jiang's secretary hurriedly walked to his side and whispered, "There's been a problem with the project in the west of the city, and now the other party is demanding compensation from us."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who is in charge of this project?"

The secretary replied, "It's Lin Nan, President Lin."

Grandpa Jiang immediately ordered, "Go and call him over, let him solve this problem."

However, the secretary looked at Old Master Jiang with a troubled expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Grandpa Jiang said impatiently, "Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

The secretary took a deep breath and finally said, "You said today that you wanted to dismiss General Manager Jiang, and General Manager Lin also left the company with all his cronies. So this project..."

Although the secretary didn't continue speaking, everyone in the conference room understood.

If Jiang Yichen doesn't come back, this project simply can't continue, and they will face huge compensation and breach of contract penalties.

This unexpected news made the atmosphere in the meeting room even more tense.

Grandpa Jiang also realized the seriousness of the problem. He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "First, contact Lin Nan and see if he can come back to help solve this problem. At the same time, try to contact President Jiang and see if he is willing to come back."

However, the secretary shook her head and said, "I've already tried, but I can't get through to Lin Nan and President Jiang. They may have already left the company."

This news made Mr. Jiang even angrier and more helpless.

He realized that his decision today could have caused huge losses for the company.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "Don't rush, let's think of another way. This project is very important to the company, we can't let it fall through like this."

"Old Jiang, just admit it, we're getting old after all. This is the era of the young people now. Don't suffer for the sake of saving face," a director said earnestly.

Another director chimed in, "Yes, if we don't secure this project, we'll all suffer. Does it really matter if he's related to you by blood? As long as he brings profits to the company, who cares who he is?"

The other directors in the meeting room also spoke up, trying to persuade Mr. Jiang not to be so stubborn.

They hoped that Mr. Jiang could be more open-minded and prioritize the company's interests.

As he listened to these words of advice, Old Master Jiang's face showed a complicated expression.

He knew that his decision today might have caused huge losses to the company, and he also realized that his stubbornness might plunge the company into a deeper predicament.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What you said makes sense. I was indeed a bit stubborn. But it is indeed difficult for me to accept this fact all at once."

"Old Jiang, we all understand how you feel."

One of the directors patted Old Master Jiang on the shoulder and said, "But you also have to think about the company. If Jiang Yichen can really bring greater benefits to the company, why don't we give him a chance?"

Grandpa Jiang nodded, indicating that he would give this matter serious consideration.

He said, "Okay, I'll try to contact Jiang Yichen to see if he's willing to come back and help solve this problem. At the same time, I'll reconsider my decision today."

Although he said that, he secretly didn't want Jiang Yichen to come back.

This is just a temporary measure to appease the board of directors. We'll think of other solutions, and if all else fails, we'll go to Jiang Yichen.

next day

I was awakened early in the morning by the faint sound of Lin Nan's voice coming from downstairs, but I did not go downstairs immediately. Instead, I chose to listen quietly upstairs.

I could clearly hear Lin Nan giving Jiang Yichen a detailed report on the company's recent operations: "The market has been quite volatile lately, and our competitors are also making moves in secret, so the situation is quite serious." After listening, Jiang Yichen responded in a calm voice: "All of this is expected. After all, there have been people secretly working against us recently. If they try to undermine us from within, they will definitely press their advantage."

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan's expression turned serious. He pondered for a long time before finally asking, "Should we intervene in this matter? After all, you've poured a lot of effort into the company. If the company is destroyed, I fear the consequences would be unimaginable."

Jiang Yichen sneered and said, "They're not afraid of losing the opportunity they've already got, so what do I have to be afraid of? Go and make arrangements for your men to quietly take over the stocks from retail investors, but remember not to reveal your identities."

Lin Nan nodded in agreement, then asked, "I heard that Old Master Jiang already knows about this and assured the board of directors that he would bring you back. What are your plans?"

Jiang Yichen was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's talk about it later. You go and take care of what you're doing now, and I'll consider the rest later."

Lin Nan nodded again, then turned and left to carry out Jiang Yichen's instructions.

I don't know if he sensed something, but before leaving, he glanced at the second floor. Luckily, my room wasn't in his sight.

After she left, Jiang Yichen also quickly left the villa and threw himself into his busy affairs.

I went to the company to do a live broadcast as usual.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the live broadcast room, I saw Zhao Ning pacing back and forth, looking anxious.

Puzzled, I stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ning shook his head and said with a worried expression, "I don't know what I did wrong during my live streams these past few days, but my viewership has been terrible. So I was wondering if you could help me with my live streams in Linping, maybe that would attract some viewers."

Upon hearing this, I frowned slightly.

Thinking back to all the rumors circulating before, it's true that people liked our CP pairing, which is why our popularity increased.

However, this method of attracting traffic is ultimately not a long-term solution.

Once the CP (couple) disbands, the traffic will also drop to zero.

Zhao Ning is now in this predicament.

After thinking for a moment, I said to Zhao Ning, "Come in first, let's discuss this together."

I didn't immediately agree to his request, after all, this matter needed further consideration.

After Zhao Ning sat down, I asked him to give a detailed account of his recent live stream activities.

I listened attentively and helped him analyze the problems he was facing.

Then, I got up, took out a small notebook containing my notes on live streaming experiences, and handed it to him. I said earnestly, "I don't think our current live streaming approach in Lianping is sustainable. So, we need to look for problems within ourselves and find ways to reorganize our live streaming content. Here are some notes I've written down; you can take them back and take a look. They might be helpful to you."
