Chapter 224 The One at the Helm of Xin Enterprises! (1/2)

Ah Sha was very much surprised at her sudden acquisition of a younger brother, so much so that she ended up staring at Xin Qing's belly for a long time.

”Ah Sha, he isn't the same one in my tummy,” Xin Qing said in amusement. ”Little brother Xiao Rui has been staying at your Aunt Mi's place due to certain special circumstances. Let's bring him back home, okay?”

”Bring him back! Bring him back!” Ah Sha nodded eagerly. Then, holding on to Xiao Rui's hand, Ah Sha said, ”Don't be scared, little bro. Your sis will sleep beside you at night!”

Xunxun flicked a glance at Xiao Rui and chuckled. ”Your bed is too small. It can't fit so many people. Besides, brother Xiao Rui is a boy. He needs to have his own room.”

”There's a ready-made bedroom available since we've had an extra nursery set up last time. Xiao Rui can move in straight away.” Xin Qing paused in thought and then turned to Young Master Shen. ”Please have someone set up another nursery for us!”

”Will do. I'll have someone swing by tomorrow,” Young Master Shen said. Seeing Xin Qing so excited about everything had put Young Master Shen's mind at ease. ”Ah Nan told me to ask you when you are ready to make a press conference. The public is going nuts right now. As the president of Xin Enterprises, you've got to make a public appearance at some point.”

Xin Qing picked up Ah Sha and held Xiao Rui's hand at the same time. Just like that, she felt all the courage flooding back into her system. Then, all of a sudden, she felt Xiao Rui scratching the center of her palm. Xin Qing glanced down at him.

”Mo- Mommy, let me accompany you. I'll work hard,” Xiao Rui said, staring back at her with pure, untainted eyes.

This kid's mind was extremely good with details. Had it been anyone else here, they would have suspected that there might be an ulterior motive to this child's offer. He was an adopted child after all, and considering how large the Ying family was, running into inheritance problems in the future was pretty much inevitable. But still, Xiao Rui had opened his heart before Xin Qing in such a direct manner.

”Thank you!” Xin Qing looked back at Xiao Rui, the sincerity in her eyes mirroring that of his own. ”Then, I'll be relying on you in the future, Xiao Rui!”

Only then did Xiao Rui allow a tiny smile to show on his face. He lowered his head and said nothing else.

Having observed the interaction just now, Ah Sha shouted as well, ”Ah Sha will also work hard to help mommy!”

Xin Qing pinched Ah Sha's tiny nose. ”Oh, but you don't have to, Ah Sha. Ah Sha is our little princess. You can do whatever you want to do!”

”You just have to be a good girl. I will help your mommy,” Xunxun said, taking Ah Sha from Xin Qing. ”School will be starting soon. Right now, the task for both you and Xiao Rui is to do well in school.”

Xin Qing glanced at the calendar. The time for the summer holidays would arrive soon, which meant that Caesar Academy's first intake should be starting.

”Ask Ah Nan to set up a press conference next Monday. What about the construction work at Caesar? How's the progress so far?”

Sensing Xin Qing's interest in the matter, Young Master Shen gave her his suggestion, ”Why don't we drop by the company tomorrow and find out?”

”Sounds good. From now on, I'll be going to the company every afternoon. Speaking of managing a company, I've still got tons to learn from Ah Nan!”

It turned out that Xin Qing was a woman of her word; she really did pull herself together. The next day, she arrived at the company and, in the presence of Ah Nan and Monica, had a meeting with all the employees of Xin Enterprises as the new president.

”How did I do just now?” Xin Qing asked Ah Nan worriedly when they got back to the office.

”Young miss, you did superbly!” Ah Nan told her with a smile.

”Indeed! That went so much better than I thought,” Monica said, helping Xin Qing into a chair. ”You shouldn't stand around so much. You'll wear yourself out.”

Xin Qing settled into a chair and went still for a brief moment. Slowly, her hand reached out and slid along the desk's surface.

Neither Ah Nan nor Monica dared make a sound. Ah Nan deeply regretted his decision not to switch Xin Qing into another office. ”Xin Qing must be thinking of the young master again,” Ah Nan thought.

Two photos sat at the corner of the desk. One was a single photo of Xin Qing while the other one was a family photo of the three of them together. The latter included Ah Sha's pony and had been taken back at the stable; Ying Qingcang was holding Ah Sha whereas Xin Qing was leaning against Ying Qingcang, smiling prettily like a flower.

”Oh, Xin Qing... This is all my fault. I wasn't meticulous enough. I'll switch you into another office tomorrow,” Monica said, staring at her worriedly.

”Why switch to another office?” Xin Qing raised her head and smiled. ”This was once Ah Cang's workplace. And from now on, it will be my workplace.” Xin Qing lowered her head and ran her fingers over the photo.

”You'll be with me every step along the way, right? You'll watch me grow, and then one day you will show up before me and tell me, 'my girl has grown up!'.”

”I'm waiting, no, anticipating, the arrival of that day...”

The main construction of Caesar Academy had already been completed last month, and by the end of this month, the interior design of all the main buildings would also be completed. Xin Qing had decided to launch a press conference on the construction's official date of completion. The press conference would be held at Caesar Academy itself.

Xin Enterprises' PR department had gotten the word out immediately. The reporters were once again making all kinds of speculations. A lot of insiders in the business world had remained skeptical about Ying Enterprises' recent transfer of ownership. Meanwhile, Xin Qing had been following Ah Nan and Monica around every day in order to learn more about management. Needless to say, she knew that experience was the best teacher of all, which was why Xin Qing had actively participated in every decision-making process since she took on the job as the company's president. The experience Xin Qing had gained from her involvement allowed her to pick things up very quickly.

Zhang Mi and Xin Qing were hanging out together after dinner today, and Zhang Mi was staring right at Xin Qing with a serious look on her face. ”Ah Qing, I've decided to stay here to assist you!”
