CHAPTER 621: CHAPTER 587: THUNDEROUS TACTICS

President Jiang’s daughter?!

President Jiang is back?!!!

He almost suspected he was experiencing auditory hallucinations from excessive despair! But that name, that surname, was like a flare suddenly lighting up in the darkness, instantly igniting his lifeless heart.

"Yan... Miss Yan?!" He was like a drowning man grasping at the last floating straw, "Hello! I’m Lei Ran! I’m Lei Ran!"

He instinctively repeated his name, afraid the other party would hang up.

On the other end of the line, Yan Yueqing didn’t exchange any pleasantries, her words were concise and every word was clear and powerful: "President Jiang has entrusted me with full authority over Sea Star Company."

"Boom—!" Lei Ran’s heart seemed to be fiercely gripped by an invisible giant hand, suddenly tightening!

In an instant, even his breathing completely halted...

A huge shock and a tidal wave of questions surged in his mind.

President Jiang handed over the company?

What happened?

Did President Jiang decide to abandon them by suddenly changing CEO, or is he trying to solve the problem?

Yan Yueqing’s voice carried a calm that oversaw the entire situation: "I will come to Haidu City tomorrow morning to officially take over—"

Tomorrow morning?

She said tomorrow morning!

And used the words "take over"!!!

A strong surge of excitement suddenly drowned out the earlier low spirits!

Does this mean the company now has a backbone? Will the situation improve?

Lei Ran clutched the receiver tightly, afraid of leaking any trace of instability.

Yan Yueqing said, "I only have a preliminary understanding of the situation over there, it’s not very good. Organize the current predicament tonight, and we’ll discuss it in detail when I arrive at the company tomorrow morning. If there are any urgent problems, let me know now."

Lei Ran spoke eagerly, "President Yan, the company’s ocean use rights are about to expire. The Ocean Management Bureau, citing that our future industrial plan doesn’t meet expectations, didn’t even review our application and sent it back directly!"

The ocean rights issue is a sword hanging overhead; the entire operation of Sea Star Company relies almost entirely on the aquaculture farms in the seazone. If the lease expires and can’t be renewed, there’s no reason for the company’s continuation.

Dealing with government departments is quite taxing indeed.

President Jiang appears to be quite young, so her daughter, President Yan, must have just entered society not long ago. Whether the company is being handed to her for practice or otherwise, Lei Ran hopes this matter can be resolved and not leave President Yan to tackle this challenge.

Informing her in advance is also to provide President Yan with mental preparation.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yueqing directly cut off his anxiety: "That’s not difficult. Is there anything else?"

Not difficult?!

Lei Ran was surprised for a moment.

Due to not understanding the other party’s capabilities, he instinctively doubted—Is President Yan really that capable, or is she inexperienced with the harsh realities of society?

His heart inexplicably sank halfway.

His voice carried a trace of subtle silence: "...Hongxin Feed Factory and several other partner companies have just submitted a bankruptcy liquidation application to the court on the grounds of our lack of ability to pay. The court has already accepted the case, and a hearing is scheduled for three days later."

Once bankruptcy liquidation begins, Sea Star will truly be beyond redemption!

The other end of the line fell silent for a moment, not sure what she was thinking?

Lei Ran’s heart was in his throat, waiting for the possible panic, anger, or at least a heavy sigh from President Yan—

However, Yan Yueqing’s voice remained as steady as always, without a hint of ripple, and even carried a bit of...indifference?

She simply uttered an "Mm," as if hearing an inconsequential matter.

"Got it." As if handling a bankruptcy application was like dealing with an unimportant email, "Put this matter on hold as well, is there anything else?"

"Put it on hold?!" Lei Ran almost thought he misheard, the immense absurdity instantly drowning out the previous shock.

Can a bankruptcy liquidation application be "put on hold"? The court session is in three days!

This President Yan... does she even understand what this means?!

"President Yan, the hearing is in three days! If the court rules bankruptcy, the company will—"

"Don’t worry, it won’t proceed," Yan Yueqing was very calm, "Think again, are there any other urgent issues?"

Lei Ran was rendered speechless... His knuckles turned white from gripping the receiver too tightly.

Not urgent about ocean use rights?

Put the hearing on hold?

President Yan’s almost playful nonchalance poured cold water on the just-kindled flame of excitement in his heart.

This... this doesn’t seem like an inheritor coming to save the day, but rather like a wealthy heiress who whimsically took over a bankrupt toy to play with?

She simply doesn’t understand the catastrophic crisis Sea Star is facing! Her so-called "takeover" might just be going through the motions, or perhaps... just signing a document of abandonment to end it all?
