I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 432

“I don’t know. You’ll have to ask Chen Hao!” Yang Xiaobei said and left unceremoniously.

“This is it. We’re doomed. Yang Xiaobei has scored a big victory for the family!” Yang Ye said furiously.

“Patience. I refuse to believe Yang Xiaobei can turn the tables this quickly. Our biggest problem now isn’t her but the son of that cheap woman, Chen Hao. We must find out exactly how powerful he is!” Guo Ru had just finished her sentence when the family group chat received a message. It was from the butler, and he was summoning them to the family meeting room in an hour.

“I told you. Yang Xiaobei is already trying to take credit, and it’s got to be for the project!” Aunt Xu Sen said.

Guo Ru sneered with crossed arms, “Let’s go back. I want to see just how resilient this girl is!”

An hour later, everyone was in the Yang family meeting room. Usually, family meetings were called on behalf of Madame Yang with mandatory attendance, so everyone in the family quickly assembled there. Meanwhile, Madame Yang herself sat at the head of the table with a radiant expression.

“I trust you all have heard about why we’re here today. That’s right, we’re here to commend Xiao Bei for successfully doing what I asked for this morning in a single afternoon. Not only has she secured five projects for the family, but she has also successfully forged a contract of partnership with Xinfeng Group. Xiao Bei has truly achieved great things for the family.” Madame Yang was smiling widely enough for her wrinkles to be fully visible. At the same time, everyone turned to look at Yang Xiaobei incredulously.

“Therefore, I have an announcement to make: Yang Xiaobei will become the manager of all five projects as well as the new general manager of the company’s projects department cum vice president of Yang Construction Group.” Madame Yang said.

“What?” The room erupted in chaos. Yang Ye especially felt as if he had been hit by a truck, considering Madame Yang had named him Vice President of the same company just before his birthday and the official announcement was to come after the birthday banquet. However, Yang Xiaobei was to have the position now instead. Guo Ru also felt her lip twitch as Yang Xiaobei was almost on par with her status-wise.

“Xiaobei, continue to maintain a good relationship with Xinfeng Group. Grandma believes in you!” Madame Yang said. After discussing many other things on the agenda, the meeting was dismissed, and Yang Xiaobei left.

“Mother,” Guo Ru stayed behind and whispered, “Xiaobei is indeed capable, and that is praiseworthy. But do you really plan on putting her in charge?”

“She got the projects, so of course she’ll be in charge!” Madame Yang said.

“That’s true, I even agree with the decision to make her Vice President. But Mother, have you considered that as capable as she is, she’s still just a girl? It’s not that she can’t handle the responsibilities, but it’s just that she’s old enough to get married any day now. Once she marries into a different family, she’ll…”

Madame Yang seemed to calm down after hearing her words, so Guo Ru continued, “Besides, Xiaobei has always been learning the ropes at the lower levels but never at the upper ones like Yang Ye has. If you promote her to upper management all of a sudden, I’m worried that she can’t handle it. At least, I think she can’t handle it now. Look at Yang Yuting getting tricked by the Long family even though he was so smart. Xiaobei is a little too kind as a person.”

With that, Madame Yang hesitated before calling out, “Ashen, get Xiaobei back here.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Guo Ru exchanged a delighted look with her son when Ashen obliged.

“This is so frustrating!” Xiaobei returned home in a fury.

“What is it?” Chen Hao asked, trimming the houseplants on the balcony.
