Chapter 364: Chapter 364

Ji Yu thought this was truly something she needed to study carefully.

"I’m not very familiar with these things, so in the coming period I might focus mainly on learning, Uncle Hu. Please don’t think I’m ready to take on that position just yet."

She was quite aware of her own abilities.

"Yu, as long as you’re willing to learn, these things won’t be a problem. I’m looking forward to seeing you do well. Even if you don’t, I would never blame you."

He looked at Ji Yu with a gentle expression.

Coincidentally, Hu Qianqian saw this as she walked through the door.

She looked at Ji Yu skeptically, as if trying to figure out what was going on with her.

"This is your cousin, Qianqian. If there’s anything you need, you can ask Qianqian to help familiarize you with things," Hu Jianyu said, without giving it much thought as he introduced Ji Yu to Hu Qianqian.

Hu Qianqian frowned. "Uncle, who is this?"

"This is the daughter I’ve spoken to you about before, my daughter who has suffered so much since childhood. But now, she’s back, and everything in the company will be hers."

In an instant, Hu Qianqian’s face turned grim.

Everyone knew Hu Jianyu had lost his child, and his health hadn’t been as good in recent years. Many were waiting for the inevitable division of assets, but now Ji Yu had suddenly returned. This was undoubtedly bad news for them.

"Uncle, is she really your daughter? What if someone is deliberately impersonating her or trying to go after our family’s assets? That would be terrible."

Ji Yu couldn’t possibly miss the hostility in her cousin’s eyes.

But such matters were insignificant to her. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

She didn’t care about Qianqian’s attitude, but if her behavior went too far, Ji Yu certainly wouldn’t stand for it.

Ji Yu’s stance on such matters was simple: as long as they didn’t actively provoke her, she wouldn’t go out of her way to deal with them. For more chapters visıt ɴovelfire.net

"Yu is indeed my daughter. You don’t need to overthink it. From now on, Yu’s orders are my orders. If you have any objections, bring them to me. And if anyone tries to bully her, I won’t let them off easily."

He could overlook other matters, but he could never disregard Ji Yu.

Looking at the man in front of her, Ji Yu suddenly felt a sense of security deep within.

Perhaps it was because she had the support of her father that Ji Yu didn’t feel afraid of anything anymore.

"Uncle, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? Bringing in someone new —won’t it make the shareholders uncomfortable? Why not let her start from the ground level instead?"

At the very least, that way she could find opportunities to stir up trouble.

However, Hu Jianyu’s attitude was firm. "How could my daughter not be qualified for the chairman’s position? There’s nothing to discuss about this."

In his mind, Ji Yu was the most suitable person for the role.

Besides, Ji Yu herself was capable. If she were to start from the ground level, she might as well go back to the hospital.

"I’m just making a suggestion, Uncle. Don’t get so upset," Hu Qianqian replied begrudgingly, though she could only agree for now. But anyone could see just how resentful she felt inside.

If this continued, she would definitely confront Ji Yu directly.

Besides, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Ji Yu appeared easy to deceive, so who knew what the outcome might be when the time came?

Indeed, Ji Yu’s return had surprised many, but learning she was Hu Jianyu’s daughter quickly softened their reactions.

These people all knew how much Hu Jianyu cared for his long-lost daughter. Given the situation now, it was only fitting for him to take good care of her.

"Since she’s Jianyu’s daughter, it’s only natural for her to take this position. It doesn’t really affect us. I have high hopes for Yu," someone remarked.

Ji Yu smiled at everyone, showing not a trace of unease despite the formal setting. "I truly appreciate all of you giving my father this respect. If there’s anything I fall short on, please don’t hesitate to point it out, and I’ll make improvements."

Her manner displayed both confidence and humility, leaving no room for criticism.

Ji Yu indeed followed through with what she had said. If they had opinions, they could raise them at any time. And since Ji Yu picked things up quickly, it didn’t take long for her to grasp the inner workings of the business world.

Seeing Ji Yu excel more and more, Hu Qianqian couldn’t possibly sit still.

"Dad, are you really going to sit by and watch Ji Yu take away everything that belongs to us? Uncle brought her back out of nowhere, and who knows if she’s even genuine!"

Hu Jianda, on the other hand, remained calm. "What’s with you? Now that Ji Yu is in the company, the next steps are beyond our control. The only thing you should do now is calm down. We’ll handle things depending on her capabilities later."

They had plenty of time.

Besides, given how fond Hu Jianyu was of his daughter, directly opposing her would only sour their relationship with him.

"You’re so impulsive. If you go head-to-head with Ji Yu now, all you’re doing is rubbing salt on Hu Jianyu’s wounds. He’s not someone who can just overlook past grievances."

He was pragmatic in his thinking. If Hu Jianyu eventually passed away, those assets wouldn’t necessarily be something Ji Yu could manage alone.

In reality, Ji Yu was aware of everything they discussed.

A while ago, Ji Yu had instructed Hong to monitor their devices. She even suspected Hu Jianyu’s declining health might have been caused by them.

Fortunately, there wasn’t any immediate danger, so there was no need to rush.

"Sister Yu, these people are clearly no good. Should we have them tied up first and deal with it after?"

Ji Yu looked at Hong helplessly, wondering where he got these ideas. He always seemed to want to stir up trouble whenever situations arose.

"You absolutely cannot act rashly right now. No matter what, they’re still my father’s brothers. If something really happens, he might not be able to bear it. I need to prioritize his well-being in these matters."

She now had attachments, which meant she couldn’t act as she did in the past. Every decision she made was guided by her care for Hu Jianyu.
