dent living right under their roof. Though not officially practicing yet, treating a simple fever shouldn't be a problem, so she summoned Ruan Chengyang without alerting anyone else.Ruan Chengyang, as...Lin Meng's first instruction to Rong Qi was to buy shares of the East Asia Group's headquarters in the United States. The East Asia Group is listed on the Nasdaq. In recent days, due to domestic pessimism towards East Asia and the company's unsatisfactory external performance, its share price has been declining. Now, Rong, as the president of the East Asia Group, suddenly disappeared and may be dead. The group is now leaderless. As soon as this news was reported in America, it spread like wildfire, causing the stock price to plummet.

"It's time to start buying up those shares. Send more people, quietly and dispersedly, to buy them up. We need to drive down the number of circulating shares to the bare minimum!"

"Could we wait a little longer!" Rong Qi pondered for a moment and suggested, "I think it might continue to drop. We could wait until the price goes down a bit more so we can spend less."

"Now is the best time to buy. The stock price should continue to fall, but it's estimated that it will stabilize soon. You know, American investors are mostly managers of various kinds, they are more rational and won't blindly follow the trend like some people domestically, selling off in large quantities. Once they realize something is wrong, they will definitely buy back to cover their positions. It may cost a bit more to buy now, but you can't be too greedy. Everything is just for stability! The stock market is ever-changing and unpredictable. To see the good and take profit is the most basic rule of survival!"

She had her own unique perspective on this matter, and she was also very perceptive. Furthermore, during her time in America, she had spent several years navigating the ups and downs of the stock market there, so she had experience. Rongqi thought about it for a moment, then followed her instructions. They discussed the details further, and once they were settled, Rongqi began to take action.

After resting for a night, Lin Meng went to work at Asia-Pacific the next day. The two children still followed her closely. No matter what Lin Meng said, the two children refused to leave her, as if afraid she would suddenly abandon them.

"Aren't you studying anymore" Lin Meng asked the two children impatiently.

"We're learning, aren't we!" Xiao Youyou replied smartly and slyly. "Now is a rare opportunity to fight back and learn. When Father disciplined Rong Qinkeng before, he let me watch and learn on the side. This learning opportunity is even better than then. If Father were here, he would definitely keep me by his side and let me learn. This is much more practical than what's in textbooks, and although you can learn from textbooks later, you miss this village, there's no such shop!"

The little boy argued his points well and convinced Lin Meng. As a result, the two children continued to skip school and followed Lin Meng around.

The mother and her two children went to the Asia Pacific Group. Miao Qing, accompanied by her assistant Xiao Cheng, followed closely behind to protect them. As for Dayang and Ayi, they started taking turns as drivers to ensure the safety of the mother and her children!

Inside the Asia-East Group, Rong Qi had already made arrangements beforehand. This morning, he even coordinated with Rong Feiwu to lead several high-level executives from the company to wait for Lin Meng's arrival at the door. Such a grand occasion quickly spread throughout the company, causing a stir. The actions of the executives could only mean that they placed absolute importance on Lin Meng. With Lin Meng replacing Rong Ling as the head honcho should be a foregone conclusion. For a time, there were speculations, anxieties, rejections, and anticipations.

When Lin Meng arrived, Rong Fei from Wudang acted as an intermediary and reintroduced the executives to him. Lin Meng shook hands with each of them one by one, and then was led onto the elevator.

Rong Qi first led Lin Meng to Rong Ling's office, letting her familiarize herself with the work environment she would be in from now on. This place was not unfamiliar to Lin Meng and her son; they had been here before. Lin Meng walked around the office once, then couldn't help but caress each decoration lovingly. These were all things Rong Ling had used.

Every sigh was pressed down into her heart. After walking around, she forced herself to wake up from this reminiscence and then instructed the two little ones that when they were in the office, they mustn't make a fuss.

The two youngsters nodded emphatically. At this point, they didn't even speak, showing with absolute actions that they would be well-behaved and wouldn't cause her any trouble.

Lin Meng reached out and gently pinched the heads of the two little ones. She sighed inwardly and went to pick up the phone, instructing her secretary to have Rong Qi come over for a meeting.

The chief secretary had been with General Rong for a long time, even before Lin Meng met him. He knew very well what Lin Meng meant to General Rong and also how capable he was. Therefore, he fully supported Lin Meng's arrival and would definitely assist him wholeheartedly, just as he assisted General Rong.

Rong Qi soon brought people in, and the confidential secretary Yi Cang also entered the room. From now on, he would be Lin Meng's secretary.

Among the people Rong Qi brought, Lin Meng saw a few familiar faces. There were the three executives who had greeted her downstairs just now, including Rong Qifeng, whom she had met before. He was said to be one of the best among the younger generation of the Rong family. There were also a few others who hadn't greeted her downstairs earlier, probably because their positions weren't high enough. Among them was someone Lin Meng knew – Rong Qirui, a beloved child of the Rong family who was rarely disliked by anyone, from top to bottom.

"So these are the people you picked, the ones you can absolutely rely on"

With a questioning gaze, she swept her sharp eyes over the people before her, some deep, some shrewd. When their eyes met hers, each one stood tall and unflinchingly accepted her scrutiny.

Ronger Qi didn't reply.

This is a silent duel, where Lin Meng is picking these people, and these people are also picking Lin Meng. Only when the two sides pass the test can they achieve a win-win situation!

Lin Meng's gaze swept across the last person, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, and said.

"Sit!"

This is great!

The men nodded slightly and took their seats, which indicated their satisfaction.

"In the coming days, you will all be under my command. Let me state a few things upfront: what we do next will determine the fate of the Rong family. You are all handpicked by Uncle Seven from among the best in the household, so first and foremost, I believe in your abilities. I will then demand every ounce of your energy without hesitation. Secondly, this team operates on absolute obedience. Any orders I give you must be carried out to the fullest extent. Of course, I don't want puppets. If you have better ideas or suggestions, feel free to share them, but they absolutely cannot become an excuse for failing to complete your mission. Thirdly, this is a matter of great importance, and all our discussions will remain within these walls. Once we leave this room, we must maintain absolute secrecy. Have I made myself clear on these three points"

She held herself with such regality, like a commanding officer inspecting troops, that her absolute bearing and cool intelligence were captivating. All present listened attentively and responded with solemn reverence.

"Got it!"

At the same time, morale was boosted!

Even a young woman can be so domineering. Facing these seasoned veterans of the business world, she can forcefully demand absolute obedience. This confidence emanating from her assertiveness makes them somewhat believe it too. With this woman at the helm, the Rong family is sure to rise again!

Later, stacks of documents were delivered to the CEO's office. This team, named "x," was thus formed.

x represents the unknown and infinity, it also represents goals and hope, at the same time, it can also represent destruction and annihilation!

This is what their team is going to do!

Large companies, by their nature, find it difficult to keep things under wraps. The fact that these individuals were brought into the CEO's office and formed a temporary team quickly spread throughout the company and eventually leaked outside.

What is this supposed to do!

Many people speculate, and there are many pairs of eyes that stare intently.

Many people are getting restless. Regardless of what Lin Meng plans to do, just the fact that Rong family is pushing her to take charge now makes them feel uneasy. The chopsticks are clumped together, and it's not easy to break them apart. A loose-knit family like Rong, was easier to deal with. But with Lin Meng's appearance, the sand has unknowingly gathered. This is unfavorable for them!

The Rong family should be staging a power struggle. Internal strife makes it easier for outsiders to attack. But, Rong Qi took the lead in siding with Lin Meng. Among the younger generation of the Rong family, Rong Qifeng, who has the best hope of succeeding Rong Ling, also entered the CEO's office this morning. This is another sign of leaning towards Lin Meng. It's hard to find anyone else among the young people who would be so widely respected by many members of the Rong family. And what about the older generation Could Rong Fei Wu, the former head of the Rong family, become a breakthrough Now that Rong Qi has brought people in, but Rong Fei Wu is being kept outside, this must be quite a blow to the former patriarch. Can they take this opportunity to sow discord between Rong Fei Wu and Lin Meng, causing internal strife! After all, the relationship between Rong Fei Wu and Lin Meng has always been lukewarm, while his wife and Lin Meng have always been at odds!

Many people are starting to want to hire!

Several calls rang into Rong Fei Wu's office that morning, and several people also entered his office. During lunchtime, Rong Fei Wu finally walked out of his office, his face dark and grim, with a cold and stern look. Wherever he passed, people couldn't help but lower their heads and dare not speak.

Rong Fei arrived at the CEO's office last, but was stopped by the secretary guarding the door. After the secretary's notification, he was allowed to enter.

Rong Fei Wu entered the office with his lips pursed, a look of restrained anger on his face. Inside the office, black and white documents were scattered haphazardly in piles. Rong Qi and the others were either seated on the sofa or sitting cross-legged on the floor. It was clear they were all working, perhaps even engaged in a discussion. However, when he entered, the discussion came to an abrupt halt, and everyone fell silent.

So defensive!

Feng Fei's heart was filled with rage, but he held it in.

"It's lunchtime, aren't you going to eat"

He's driving people away with sarcasm!

"We ordered food, it should be here soon!" Lin Meng replied to him with a cold expression, shutting him down directly. The others heard this and didn't move.

Rong Fei's face grew even darker. He believed Lin Meng should understand his intentions very well, but she was being too disrespectful!

With a composed face, he stood there. The atmosphere instantly became awkward. Everyone remained motionless, either staring blankly into space, pretending to look at their data with heads bowed, or blatantly daydreaming. As for Lin Meng, she simply stared straight at Rong Fei Wu. He didn't budge, nor did she. A standoff ensued, each waiting for the other to break first!

It was obvious that Rong Fei Wu had come seeking something, and he was the first to lose his composure. He told himself that he did this for his grandson's sake, so he just let Lin Meng have it.

"I need to speak with Lin Meng alone. Please go out for a while!"

Well, finally someone has bowed their head. The x-team members, immediately make a sensible retreat. Rong Qi patted Rong Feiwu's shoulder lightly before leaving. This gesture had an indescribable meaning behind it.

Rong Fei Wu raised an eyebrow!

Seeing that two young lads and Miao Qing hadn't gone out yet, Rong Feiwu looked at the three of them. The two young ones ignored the old man, but Miao Qing still gave him face, explaining things to him.

"I will protect Mengmeng with all my being!"

So, Assistant Xiao Cheng can go out, but she won't. And letting Xiao Cheng go out already shows her respect for Rong Fei Wu!

Feng Fei's face turned even uglier. After a long pause, he seemed to realize his own weakness and could only let out a snort of displeasure. He didn't try to chase the person away any further.

He sat down on the sofa, as straight and still as a clock, radiating an aura of authority. But he hoped to intimidate Lin Meng with his bearing, but it was useless. Lin Meng just sat there so casually, indifferent like the wind, intangible, only perceptible in feeling. You couldn't suppress her, instead you had to use all your wit to catch her!

Rong Fei's heart turned over and over, his eyes flickering with changing emotions. Finally, he uttered a question in a heavy voice.

"Why was I excluded!"

"With your intelligence, you shouldn't ask that question!"

Wise!

Rong Fei felt a strange sense of joy. He knew his abilities well, and over the years, he had received plenty of praise. But for some reason, hearing these two words from this woman's lips was different. They sounded inexplicably beautiful, and they made his heart soar!

He almost couldn't help but smile, but he managed to hold it in, then he strained his face even tighter, just so as not to reveal his true feelings.

After calming down a little, he looked at Lin Meng opposite him, and by the way, took in the little guy who was sitting beside her. The thought of settling accounts with Lin Meng properly that he had originally harbored suddenly vanished.

What on earth is he doing This woman sitting before him, even if he's dissatisfied, she is his daughter-in-law after all. The fact that she gave birth to his grandson is also undeniable. His son is now missing, the chances of survival are slim. It’s rare for her, a weak woman, to not abandon this family at this time and come back to help. Why does he have to belittle her! On the other hand, this poor grandson, having lost his father, why must he embarrass his mother in front of him!

Thinking about this, Rong Fei Wu's heart felt uneasy, and he didn't want to play any psychological warfare anymore.

"You can use me!" he stated directly, affirming his value. "I know you're wary of me because of the person in your household, but rest assured, I keep my private and public matters separate. After all, I've held this position for so many years. To always blur the lines between personal and professional is simply not how it works. Putting the greater good first is paramount. Furthermore, no matter what you do, your progress will be significantly hindered without my support. Remember, this is a family business. The relationships here are intricate, and people are inherently influenced by seniority and experience. You're young and have only recently joined this family. Even with exceptional abilities, you can't immediately subdue the entire clan. It took Rong Ling almost a year to gain control of things. You need me, Lin Meng, so let me join!"

"So, you came to volunteer and request to join" Lin Meng asked coolly, showing no excitement whatsoever. Naturally, she wasn't frightened by Rong Fei's words either.

"Rong Fei Wu opened himself up to Lin Meng completely, so he simply replied, "If that's what you want, then it is! Lin Meng, our goals are the same, so I will give it my all."

This is a declaration of his loyalty and determination!

But some things need to be made clear from the start.

"If you join, you'll just be a member of the team, and that team is currently led by me. I need your absolute obedience!"

What a big mouth!

Feng Fei's heart trembled slightly, and he narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Meng. Lin Meng still wore that expression, staring at him with indifference, as if to say that if he didn't agree, then please leave.

Rong Fei stared, staring, and suddenly smiled.

"Good!" he responded powerfully. "Since Third Brother and Seventh Brother value you so much, then let me see what you're capable of!"

A family, why speak in two different voices! Rong Ling had an accident. There are some things he has truly let go of and seen clearly!

Lin Meng showed no excitement, she just calmly restated her three principles.

Rong Fei Wu only then realized that the young girl's seemingly indifferent expression just now was actually her silently testing him. When she offered absolute obedience, if he had let his pride get in the way and walked away, he might never have had the chance to join this team again.

This girl is really not afraid of scaring him away!

But actually, he was completely wrong!

For Rong Fei Wu, Lin Meng is destined to get!

The more arrogant a person is, the more they cannot tolerate being ignored by others after sitting in a prestigious position for a long time. She needed Rong Fei Wu; Rong Fei Wu could help her control the Rong family and Ya Dong well. However, she deliberately didn't invite Rong Fei Wu at first. She was sure that Rong Fei Wu would definitely come to her door. Compare this: asking someone to come over yourself versus having them come seeking you out. The former makes people feel superior and arrogant, while the latter, since they are coming willingly, naturally won't think too highly of themselves, resulting in higher cooperation and obedience. In a real crisis, he wouldn't have the guts to challenge her!

In her heart, she had already made arrangements for the work that Rong Fei's martial artists were about to undertake. However, she definitely couldn't say it immediately, lest Rong Fei see through anything. He was a sly old fox after all. The head of the Rong family wasn't some delicate flower!

"I'll think about what you need to do and then let you know. Because of your arrival, some things are going to have to be rearranged." She said this deliberately.

Feng Feiwu wasn't in a hurry. One lunch break should be enough for her to figure out a preliminary plan.

He sat there, motionless!

"Go back and wait for my message!" Lin Meng urged her away.

Rong Fei snorted, restoring the domineering and arrogant air of a superior.

“Since I’m part of the team now, wouldn’t it be nice if I stayed for lunch with you all”

Of course, we're keeping this breath!

He got into character quickly!

Lin Meng was also a generous person, so he immediately told Miao Qing to call everyone in. It's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks, no problem!

"I think we need a table in here!"

Lin Meng's cold eyes swept over, this old man, giving him a little sunshine and he beams!

"Rong Fei was talking to himself. 'Either you move this office to the conference room, or you add a table here, a long one, so we can all work together. Sitting around this sofa like this just won't do! We're in for a long haul!' "

Looking at Lin Meng, his tone naturally carried a hint of command.

This is truly a superior who is accustomed to issuing orders and nitpicking their subordinates!

This old man is really annoying!

Lin Meng's lips moved, but she didn't say anything to him. She didn't tell him that in fact, she had already thought of what he said. The office desk was also ordered a long time ago. It was estimated that it would be delivered before the lunch break ended!

But it doesn't matter. Old men used to high positions almost all have this little quirk. He promised to obey, but for him to be obedient in front of her, that's like the sun rising in the west.

The old man's little tsundere quirks, as long as they don't interfere with her plans, she'll just turn a blind eye!n.”Two little fellows each took out their small bags and pulled out colorful, round yo-yos.
