Just as Yun Qingrong said, the announcement of her sudden retirement had surprised everyone. She didn't give any details about the reason she decided to leave her post and pass it to her daughter, but she hoped that everyone in Bluemedia would extend their support to Su Xiaofei. Hence, it didn't take long for Su Xiaofei to be named as the new CEO and president of Bluemedia Entertainment.
For the next few days, Yun Qingrong still appeared with her daughter at Bluemedia as they had to complete the transition of responsibilities. Throughout the process, Fang Yi stayed with the mother and daughter pair, helping Yun Qingrong explain the things she couldn't to Su Xiaofei.
"Feifei, I know you hate paperworks and long meetings, but you will have to get used to it from now on." Fang Yi stated. "However, if you really think that you need help, we can add more people on your side to reduce your burden. You don't need to micromanage at all, you just need to delegate certain tasks to others, but make sure to set your expectations upfront."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang. I will keep it in mind." Su Xiaofei smiled at him, but it didn't quite reach her eyes.
As Fang Yi looked at his goddaughter, he began to understand why Yun Qingrong had been worried about Feifei. Su Xiaofei was trying to endure everything at the moment, and hardening her heart in the process. It must have been really hard for Su Xiaofei to accept the news.
Just as they expected, some members of the board weren't pleased with Yun Qingrong's resignation. Some thought that Su Xiaofei wasn't ready to step up and lead the company, while others think that she required a reliable partner who can help her manage Bluemedia.
"It's a pity that she annulled her engagement with Golden Star's Mo Yuchen five years ago. Have they not parted ways, it's possible for the two entertainment companies to merge as one."
"You are right. Although Mo Yuchen's managerial style isn't on par with his father's, he's still more experienced than Little Fei. It's true that Yun Qingrong was the one who established Bluemedia, but during its earliest years, Su Haoran was there to share her burden."
Su Xiaofei was walking past them, effectively shutting their mouths and causing them to look away from embarrassment. They both wondered how much she heard from their conversation.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ling, who was walking next to her miss, had also overheard what the two were discussing earlier. She couldn't help but be annoyed on her miss's behalf.
Initially, she and her elder sister were assigned by Lu Qingfeng to keep Su Xiaofei safe. However, from the moment they met Su Xiaofei years ago, up to this day, they had witnessed how Su Xiaofei worked harder than anyone else to reach this point.
Su Xiaofei was aware and had accepted that there were some things that she didn't know, but she was willing to learn no matter what. So for Zhang Ling, those old men's opinions were bullshit.
Look, even now that Su Xiaofei was officially the next madam of the Lu family, she had never used this fact to her advantage. She had accepted this role because she truly wanted to be with their master, Lu Qingfeng.
As for Su Xiaofei's skills to lead the company, hadn't she proved herself already? Not only did she raise stars who brought a lot of money to the company, but she was also proactively involved with the new projects Bluemedia took up over the past years.
So why was it that her worth as a leader of a company was based on the identity of the man standing next to her? How dare they compare Su Haoran to their young master? At these thoughts, Zhang Ling was visibly angry.
She looked at Su Xiaofei's face, but the latter didn't make any indication that she was bothered by what they heard earlier. Of course, Zhang Ling and her sister were both aware of the situation with the Yun family and kept their opinions to themselves, knowing that whatever they said wouldn't affect this sudden change in Su Xiaofei's behavior.
Since they were always with Su Xiaofei, Zhang Ling and her sister had noticed the sudden change in their miss since she received the news of her mother's illness. Su Xiaofei had been silent most of the time and only spoke when she needed to.
"Zhang Ling, do you know if Lu Qingfeng is coming home early tonight?"
Su Xiaofei's question brought Zhang Ling out of her deep thoughts.
"Miss Katarina said that he would be home at the usual time today." She answered immediately.
Lu Qingfeng hadn't moved out to return to his own home and had chosen to stay with Su Xiaofei's family. However, his schedule at work and school remained the same.
"I see." Su Xiaofei replied, with a thoughtful expression on her face, which Zhang Ling immediately noticed.
She could only watch as Su Xiaofei returned to her desk and continued working wordlessly, not accepting any calls for the time being. When Zhang Ling joined her sister, she had this awful look on her face.
"What is it now?" Zhang Lan raised a slender brow in question. Between the two of them, Zhang Ling was more in tuned and expressive towards other people.
"I'm worried about her. She is starting to become a human robot." Zhang Ling muttered.
Zhang Lan glanced at Su Xiaofei, who was hovering over the pile of workload on her new desk, in her new office as the President of Bluemedia. She couldn't agree more with her younger sister's observation.
"You are right, but I suppose the Master has also expected that this would happen, hence, he couldn't leave her be. We just need to give Miss Su some time to let the news truly sink in. She's probably still in the state of denial.." She replied, as she was also concerned about this change in Su Xiaofei's behavior.
