not a decent stand-in

Time flies, and another week has passed.

Since Xiang Huai'en relaxed his vigilance, Xiang Yindong's "stand-in" life has finally become less aggrieved.

The weather is getting hotter day by day. He is sitting in his office, blowing on the air conditioner, drinking coffee, and tapping the Enter key lightly with his fingers.

Another email is shown as "Sent".

He stretched, stood up and stretched his muscles.

During this time, the old man has gone home to recuperate, and the company's affairs have been handed over to him.

He has to pretend to be doing nothing while controlling the company's operations, which is really a test of his acting skills.

Fortunately, he still has a secret weapon.

Xiang Yindong turned on the intercom and told his secretary Ada, "Call Alex!"

"Okay, Mr. Xiang!"

Soon, Ada walked in with Alex in a neat suit, and the other party asked respectfully, "Mr. Xiang, are you looking for me?"

"Sit!" Xiang Yindong nodded and ordered, "Ada, bring in two cups of coffee!"

Ada backed out and two cups of coffee were quickly delivered.

Xiang Yindong sat on his executive chair, looking down at the documents.

After Ada turned to leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and nestled into the back of the chair.

Alex's expression also relaxed, he unbuttoned his suit, and reached out to tug at his tie.

"Your defense work is really meticulous!"

"It doesn't hurt to be careful. I've turned this office upside down. I shouldn't be under surveillance, except..."

Xiang Yindong raised his chin and blinked towards the door.

Alex knew what he meant and nodded.

Alex is his personal assistant, a Chinese-American mixed race, master of finance, two years younger than him.

The two are Stanford alumni and have worked with the same mentor, so they have a deep personal relationship.

Alex, who has been with him since graduation, has grown rapidly in the past two years and has become his right-hand man.

Xiang Yindong, a junior, is cautious, and his observation skills are even more nuanced.

He could fool others with his fine acting skills earlier, but he certainly couldn't fool Alex.

Fortunately, Xiang Yindong didn't intend to hide it either.

What he needs now is someone who can handle company affairs for him on the bright side.

Alex did not disappoint him. After hearing the bizarre story of "resurrecting from the dead", he just nodded and asked calmly, "What do you want me to do?"

Xiang Yindong was deeply impressed...

He knew that Alex, like him, did not believe in ghosts and gods, but only believed in his own judgment.

So there is no need to explain too much, as long as you get along with the other party according to the past behavior style, the other party will have no doubts about his identity.

"Aren't you an American? Wearing a suit makes you awkward?"

Xiang Yindong clicked his tongue twice, he was used to Alex's T-shirt and jeans, but he was obviously not used to his outfit today.

But the one who is most unaccustomed to it must be Alex himself.

"My mother is American..." He tugged on the tie for a long time, finally took it off, and stuffed it into his pocket. "Besides, I don't think that the style of dressing has anything to do with my nationality."

"Ok, Anyway!" Xiang Yindong shrugged, not interested in guiding his clothing taste, "Is the signing ceremony going well?"

"It went well, Baoyue's President Wang came here in person, Shen Bin's face was cracked with laughter!"

"is it?"

Xiang Yindong raised the corners of his mouth. In the morning, he asked Alex to attend a signing ceremony on his behalf.

According to his uncle's request, the product order of Baoyue Technology was approved to the subsidiary in charge of Shen Bin.

Alex laughed: "Are you sure you'll be fine if you do this?"

Xiang Yindong raised his eyebrows, "Who knows! But... what we want is 'problem'?"

Although he didn't know Shen Bin well, he never liked his usual high-spirited attitude.

The Shen family was regarded as their peers in the early years, but when the luck was bad, the company almost went bankrupt under the hands of Shen Bin.

But at that time, Shen Bin met Xiang Chenchen at an industry summit, and with his gentle appearance and eloquent tongue, he successfully won the heart of this strong woman.

Not only did he successfully become the son-in-law of the Xiang family, his family business was also acquired by Zhenghai and became a subsidiary of Zhenghai - Xinhai Electronics.

For this cooperation with Baoyue Technology, Xiang Yindong originally wanted another subsidiary to participate.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Huai'en came to snatch food, not only asked Shen Bin to contact the other party early, but also delivered the contract to him personally, forcing him to sign as soon as possible.

Although Xiang Yindong was dissatisfied, he could only bite the bullet and gave the order to Xinhai Electronics first.

Fortunately, it is not a big business. At most, it will help them scrape some oil and water from the company, and it will not pose a big threat.

"How about the investigation in Switzerland?"

After discussing business matters, Xiang Yindong took a sip of coffee and changed the subject.

When he just returned to China, the old man mentioned going to Switzerland to track down the identity of the kidnapper, but he dismissed it perfunctorily on the grounds that he "doesn't remember anything".

Of course he will investigate this matter, but he needs to do it secretly.

Alex shook his head with a gloomy expression: "I'm afraid this matter is not a simple kidnapping and extortion. Judging from the scene of the crime you described, those people originally wanted to kill you on the spot, but for some reason there was internal strife, so they had to bring You hid on the mountain..."

Xiang Yindong nodded: "That's my idea too... It is estimated that those people also died in the mountains with me, there is really no proof!"

Alex's brows twitched, and he was the only person who could talk about his "death" as easily as going to the toilet.

"The only clue now is probably your car!"

"That car?" Xiang Yindong frowned, "Didn't it say it was burnt into coke? When the case was closed, those policemen didn't mention the car..."

"Didn't you say that there was a car accident first, and then the gunfire was heard?"

"You mean the accident might have been man-made?"

"I'm just guessing. If you want to confirm it, you need to get some evidence..."

Seeing his calm face, Xiang Yindong knew that he had already thought of a solution, so he smiled in relief, and said: "Be careful!"

"Okay!" Alex got up and left the office.

Xiang Yindong leaned on the back of the chair, silently looking at the sky outside the window.

Now the enemy is dark and we are clear, and every step needs to be done carefully...

He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, took out the merger and acquisition plan submitted by Xiang Chenchen, and studied it carefully.

According to Xiang Huai'en, he must convince the board of directors to approve this overseas merger and acquisition plan as soon as possible.

But Xiang Yindong knew very well that in this way, Xiang Chenchen would definitely gain power and become the controller of the company's emerging strategic plan.

Xiang Huai'en will also "ascend the chicken and dog to heaven" and have more right to speak.

At that time, the internal situation of Zhenghai International will become more secretive and complicated.

He has long understood that Xiang Huaien's purpose of hiring a "substitute" to come back is nothing more than to take control of the company's power.

For a long time, compared with the innovative and conservative in the company, his uncle is a typical fencer. He never takes the initiative to take the initiative in everything, and does not seek merit but seeks no fault.

This is also the reason why the old man doesn't think highly of the eldest son.

However, after wearing the mask for a long time, there will always be a day when I want to take it off.

Xiang Huai'en concocted this "puppet plan", which can be said to have achieved multiple results in one fell swoop. It not only flattered the old man, but also covered up the truth of the matter. The most powerful thing is that he found a gunman to help him control the operation of the company.

As expected of a scheming and ambitious man!

But you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

On the surface, Xiang Yindong obeyed his arrangement, but in practice, he always made mistakes from time to time.

For example, when discussing merger and acquisition plans in meetings, they frequently asked some "brainless questions" and "accidentally" poked each other's loopholes.

Another example is talking about the law and order environment in South America in the cafeteria, expressing concerns about the safety of employees.

Although Xiang Huai'en was furious after repeated "full of mistakes and omissions" several times, he had nothing to do with him who only had a "junior high school education".

The directors are also all good people. Many people judged the situation and raised many doubts about the lithium battery project.

Finally, at the regular board meeting, the directors postponed the consideration of the acquisition plan on the grounds that it was not perfect enough.

This result, of course, annoyed Xiang Chenchen very much.

But the one who was most excited was Jiang Yuanqing, who wanted to get a share of the lithium battery business.

He slapped the table to question Xiang Yindong's decision-making ability, and the atmosphere on the board of directors seemed tense for a while.

In the end, Xiang Yindong acted as a peacemaker, moved out a few independent directors, and asked them to conduct risk research alone, which temporarily eased the situation.

"Hmph! When you get ready, the day lily will be cold!"

Jiang Yuanqing finally walked away.

After this round of wits and courage was over, Xiang Yindong breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He became more and more addicted to the game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

As night fell in the imperial capital, traffic flowed across the road with lights and shadows, winding and bright like a galaxy.

Xiang Yindong drove his SUV out of the company, drove a few laps on the road, and finally got rid of the "tail" behind him, then turned around and drove towards "Joys".

During this period of time, his "stand-in" life gradually got on the track, and he was finally able to sneak in and find some entertainment.

He didn't have any bad hobbies in the past, and he had nothing to do in his free time. Apart from exercising and fitness, he would hang out with a few buddies at most.

Of course, occasionally pick up girls.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is an out-and-out playboy, and he changes girlfriends very frequently.

But say he's flirtatious, women post it on their own.

Let's say he is promiscuous, Young Master Xiang doesn't have a bad reputation in the love field, and the praises that have been handed down to this day are all handsome, rich, gentle and generous.

He himself hadn't thought about this issue carefully, anyway, it's something you like and I wish, as long as we don't suffer from each other.

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to use his brains on feelings, he's too lazy to refuse, he's too lazy to quarrel, and he's too lazy to redeem.

That's why Zuo Tong said that he seemed to be passionate, but he was the most ruthless.

Counting it, Xiang Yindong almost forgot what kind of creature a woman is for more than a month.

The male hormones accumulated in the body would come out to show off from time to time, which made him a little irritable.

Outside the car window, the streets of the capital city were brightly lit, and a young woman with a graceful figure, wearing hot pants, passed by the zebra crossing in front of him.

His eyes lit up, and he whistled silently.

Coincidentally, the long-legged beauty turned her head at this moment.

A dull face with thick makeup.

It made him shiver.

Sure enough, it was held in for too long, and there was a feeling of hunger.

Such a pair of long legs, what's the matter, should also be matched with a delicate and elegant face, so it's not considered a waste of money, right?

Thinking of this, Xiang Yindong suddenly scratched his hair irritably.

Damn it, how could it be the face of that guy Zuo Tong that appeared in my mind?

He quickly shook his head, stepped up the accelerator and sped towards "Joys".
