The few incidences that happened with all the people associated with Lu Qiang’s death were the ominous signs for all those who were planning to mess up with Lu Corporation, thinking the new President was a novice. They believed it would be easy to defeat the new President, but now everyone understood Jiang Yuyan’s power and what she was capable of.
Soon Fu Jing and Li Yong gave up, and as predicted by Jiang Yuyan, they came to her with their tails between the legs when she did nothing to threaten them after they left her office full of anger.
"President Lu, we have agreed to your terms," Fu Jing said while sitting in front of Jiang Yuyan in her office, and Li Yong, who was sitting in the chair next to him, agreed too.
"Hmm, you have made a good choice," Jiang Yuyan commented and allowed then to disappear from her sight.
Xiao Min, who was standing in the office, looked at his Boss as he was experiencing the drastic changes in her behavior as the days passed by. She was colder and emotionless, which worried Xiao Min.

Xi Residence...
Xi Cheng’s lawyer arrived at Xi residence as he had to conduct the order given by Xi Cheng.
"Have a seat, Mr. Fan," said Xi Cheng as they sat on the sofa.
"Mr. Xi. I am here to hand you over late Mr. Xi Cheng’s will," informed the lawyer.
Song Meilin came to the living room and joined them too.
"His will?" Xi Guiren asked.
"Yes, a few years back, Mr. Xi Cheng made his will. As he is no more, I am here to do my job. Also, Ms. Nicky’s presence is needed here."
It surprised them, but they asked the servant to call her. Nixxxie came downstairs and joined them though she was not interested in it.
The lawyer pulled out the file and read it to them. "Mr. Xi Cheng had passed everything belonged to him to Ms. Nicky, and he had mentioned her as the next President of Xi family’s Business. He had transferred all of his shareholdings to Ms. Nicky."
Xi Cheng’s will surprised them, and Xi Guiren asked, "When exactly did he wite this will?"
"A year after he took the position of president," the lawyer replied, and it was another shock for them.
"Ms. Nicky, Please sign here," the lawyer instructed as he passed the file to her.
Nicky hesitated to do so, and Song Meilin asked her to sign it, which she obeyed.
The lawyer left, leaving these three shocked, and Xi Guiren spoke. "I don’t know what was going in his mind all these years."
"Hmm! I was shocked when I got to know he never threatened any of my supporters to help me get Nicky as the next President. It was they who were scared after president Lu Qiang’s death.
"He never opposed Nicky’s rights over the company," Xi Cheng concluded and left them puzzled. "What was he thinking or what was he doing all along, I guess being his father, I failed to get it."
She turned forgiving after his death but what Xi Cheng did with her son, was the thing she would never forgive him for. But they all know, Xi Cheng never troubled them after that though he acted evil all the time.
"What was he exactly, Truly an evil person, or there was something that made him do all the bad things?" The question left in everyone’s mind.

Xi Cheng’s mother discharged from the hospital after passing the critical condition. She was silent and used to cry, holding her son’s picture, the entire day. Xi Guiren tried his best to be by her side and comfort her, but nothing was enough to lessen the pain one mother felt.

Assistant Li went to the office for one last time as he had to hand over his resignation and collect his stuff. On his table, there was a file with his Boss’s note for him, in which he asked him to keep working in the company and be loyal to be his new Boss.
There was one more file that meant to be passed to Lu Corporation personally by him. Assistant Li had made his mind to resign from his position as he didn’t think the company needed him. Leaving his resignation letter on the President’s table, which was empty since the day his Boss left, the assistant carried his stuff and left the office.
At the end of the second half of the office hours, assistant Li arrived at the Lu Corporation and Xiao Min led his way to Jiang Yuyan’s office. Jiang Yuyan was surprised to see him there, but she gave him a chance to say why he was there.
"Boss wished to pass this file to President Lu as he wanted Lu Corporation to look take over this project," assistant Li informed as he added. "The project meant to be welfare program for the low-income families but Boss didn’t trust any of his project partners with this."
"Wasn’t your boss the one who loves to leach off on these poor people?" the harsh words came from Jiang Yuyan as she looked into the file.
The assistant didn’t take it to heart as he knew what she was talking like this and replied, "No. He never leaches off poor ones. he was the one who helped them without anyone knowing it."
Jiang Yuyan finally looked at the assistant, and she could see one loyal employee of his Boss. "I’ll think about it." Saying she kept the file on the table and the assistant Li left.
Jiang Yuyan moved her sight to Xiao Min, standing silently, "What do you think?"
"He is right. Mr. Xi Cheng never did such a thing. It was the other project partners, and when he knew he could not stop everyone, Mr. Xi Cheng helped those low-income families secretly. The previous Boss knew the truth; that’s why Boss never took that project from him, though he threatened Mr. Xi Chneg with it a few times."
"Hmm!" seeing something going in Xiao Min’s mind, Jiang Yuyan asked, "Do you wish to leave office early today?"
It shocked Xiao Min, and he nodded, "Y-Yes boss. Can I?"
Jiang Yuyan nodded while looking at the file, as she commented, "Assistant Li must be in the lift."
It was another surprise for Xiao Min as his Boss guessed it right that he wanted to go to assistant Li. Bowing to Jiang Yuyan, Xiao Min left in a hurry to catch assistant Li.
