Capítulo 1593: Chapter 1593: Defeating Ye Qilan (3)

“One day, I will make all of you who look down on me see me in a new light. Mom, I will never let you take back the power from my hands. The Northern Group has already changed regimes. Mom, you might as well enjoy a peaceful life at home and stop meddling in my affairs. If you don’t believe me, feel free to try.” Beichuan said as he pressed the intercom to have his secretary show her out.

“Beichuan, you have truly disappointed me!”

After saying this, his mother slammed the door and left.

No, she couldn’t let Beichuan continue his reckless behavior. The Northern Group is not Beichuan’s plaything; it is the effort of several generations of the Bei Family, and it can’t be ruined in Beichuan’s hands.

She must find a way to stop Beichuan from making further mistakes. The only way is to remove Beichuan from his position as chairman.

After leaving the Northern Group, she contacted several senior directors of the Northern Group and scheduled meetings with them to express her thoughts. The senior directors were quite cooperative; she only needed to get more than half of the directors’ support to re-elect the chairman and thus remove Beichuan as chairman.

Unfortunately, the next day, the senior directors she met with all changed their stance.

Beichuan had not been idle in the past few years; it was Beichuan who applied pressure on the senior directors behind the scenes.

As it stood, without the support of the majority, it became nearly impossible to remove Beichuan as chairman. This time, she just felt powerless…

The internal strife at the Northern Group had reached Ye Qilan’s ears. He knew Beichuan’s mother indeed wanted to stop Beichuan, but Beichuan had already gone too far and couldn’t be pulled back.

If she could not reclaim Beichuan’s authority, Beichuan would definitely continue to cooperate with Xiao Ji, aiming to bring him down.

Before he was even twenty, he was already navigating the business world. Meanwhile, at that time, Beichuan was indulging in a life of pleasure. It was only in recent years that Beichuan officially took over the Northern Group.

Did Beichuan really think that just by teaming up with Xiao Ji, he could bring him down?

Wasn’t that a bit naive?

Even Su Hongxing felt the treacherous atmosphere in the business world. Ye Qilan frequently appeared on mainstream financial channels, while Xiao Ji and Beichuan made joint appearances.

With Ye Qilan leading Jufeng Group and Lugang Industry, Beichuan heading the Northern Group, and Xiao Ji at the helm of Hongkang Group and Jiangyin Group, it seemed like a three-legged power struggle. But insiders knew, this was a business war of Ye Qilan against two.

Though Su Hongxing knew Ye Qilan had great abilities, facing both Xiao Ji and Beichuan, he must be under pressure. So, she tried not to hold Ye Qilan back and avoided mentioning the name Zhu Jin to prevent distracting him.

Yet as the days approached Zhu Jin’s arrival in Taicheng, Su Hongxing still sensed some instability in Ye Qilan’s mood.

That day, after attending a banquet, Ye Qilan returned home reeking of smoke and alcohol. He intended to head straight for a shower without disturbing Su Hongxing. Unexpectedly, upon entering the master bedroom, he saw Su Hongxing changing the bed sheets.

Seeing him return, Su Hongxing turned and said, “You reek of smoke and alcohol. Go wash up in the bathroom; your pajamas are already inside.”

Emboldened by the alcohol, Ye Qilan embraced her tightly from behind, only to be disgustedly pushed away by her: “I’ve showered. The smell of smoke and alcohol on you will get on me. Go wash up quickly; you stink!”

“Honey…” Ye Qilan held Su Hongxing’s hand: “Join me for a shower.”

Su Hongxing gave Ye Qilan a faux smile: “Alright, but before that, let’s talk about Zhu Jin…”
