You Are The Trouble I'm In

Chapter 8 Too Hot To Handle

A woman who had been highly praised for her self-confidence and self-confidence, but her private life was so chaotic. Such an opposite image would only cause more curses, and no one would care too much about Ben's affair with Jessie.

At least Armani had loved Ben before. She didn't expect that he would do everything for getting XU Group. Armani's eyes turned red. She knew very well that she had no chance to be with the CEO of XU Group today, so she would not be in charge of the business of the group in the future.

'Dad, do I just lose your company like this?' Armani bit her lips. The situation in front of her had become very uncertain.

"Mr. Ben, if Armani can't be the CEO of XU Group, who is more suitable to take the responsibility?" Uncle Buzz, a friend of Armani's father when he was alive, who held fifteen percent shares of XU Group, broke the silence in the meeting room first. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Everyone stopped talking at once, and even Edith was at a loss.

In fact, everyone had acquiesced in the fact that Armani was the successor president, because when her father was still alive, he had always taken her to deal with the company's affairs. Many outstanding plans and difficult business were handled by her, and everyone saw her ability.

Even Edith knew that it would be dangerous if XU Group didn't have Armani. At least, Armani could protect her interests. As her stepmother, Armani had to take care of Edith.

If Armani was not the CEO, then who would be the CEO? That was a problem.

Uncle Buzz looked at Ben and asked sharply, "Is it you? Mr. Ben. "

"Uncle Buzz, do you doubt my strength?" Ben said with a smile.

Buzz said indifferently, "Of course I won't doubt your ability. I just wonder if our XU Group will become a subsidiary of MING Group after you become the CEO. From now on, QM City will only remember MING Group, not XU Group."

The business conflicts between the Xu family and the Ming family hadn't happened for a day or two. Some schemers could see it clearly. After Buzz's words, others looked at Ben with suspicious eyes.

"Of course I know my identity is very sensitive and I'm not suitable to be the CEO of XU Group, so I'm just here to express my opinion."

Ben was not so stupid as to be the CEO of XU Group. Armani stared at him coldly.

"But..." "As a member of XU Group's shareholders, I can recommend others. If you want me to recommend a person, of course I will recommend her," he added.

He raised his hand and pointed at a woman. Everyone looked at that person.

Jessie stood up from her seat. She had been prepared, but she was still a little nervous in the face of so many people's gaze. Her fingers were always hanging around the belt around her waist.

Armani narrowed her eyes. She understood everything. Ben knew that if he directly became the CEO of XU Group, he would be objected by everyone, especially the founding members of the group. But Jessie could do that because she was also the daughter of XU Group and she had shares of the group.

Moreover, since Armani had been engaged to Ben, even if they got married, it wouldn't affect Jessie taking over XU Group. And those who supported Armani before couldn't refuse Jessie, because they were all members of the Xu family and they were sisters.

But Armani knew very well that Jessie didn't have the ability and courage to support XU Group at all. If Jessie took over the company, she would only be a puppet of Ben's company. The whole company was

under the control of Ben.

"If no one objects, you can agree with my suggestion and let Jessie be the CEO of XU Group." Seeing that no one spoke, Ben smiled.

He was determined to get XU Group this time.

"It doesn't matter who we are going to choose. It depends on that person's ability." When everyone was silent, it was Buzz who spoke.

Jessie immediately said with some grievance, "Uncle Buzz, do you think I'm incompetent? But when I was an intern in your company, you praised me for I had my father's demeanor. Did you just lie to me for the sake of my father? "

"I'm not lying to you. You are really capable, but you don't have enough internship experience to support XU Group." Buzz said indifferently, "You are different from your sister. Armani has already taken over the business of XU Group. We all know her ability."

"I can do what she can. Besides, it's just because she is not convenient to be the executive president now, not to let her leave XU Group. We are sisters, and we are family. It's the same who becomes CEO. I can only stand out for the time being. I can't let the group have no CEO all the time. My sister can just avoid the limelight, be the vice president, and stay to help me." With a sweet smile, Jessie uttered the prepared excuse and looked at Armani with a smile, "Sister, you won't be angry with me for this, will you?"

Armani's lips had been bitten pale, and she was still very calm.

She realized that she was framed today and admitted that she shouldn't have been so careless before the general shareholder's meeting. Ben found out such a flaw.

He had defeated her and still wanted her to stay here and be at the mercy of them. If anything happened to XU Group in the future, Ben could get rid of the blame and leave matters to her.

But she couldn't allow Jessie to ruin her father's business and let Ben control the company.

This was a hot potato. On the one hand, it was Armani's own safety, and on the other hand, it was her father's expectations.

The woman in front of him looked a little embarrassed. Only Ben who knew her well saw her pretending to be calm. He knew that Ben couldn't deal with it anymore.

"You are right." After Armani calmed down, she looked at Jessie and said.

Seeing that Armani agreed so easily, Jessie smiled.

"But I don't think I can be the vice president for the time being." After Jessie finished laughing, Armani said lightly.

Jessie's face changed. It was not convenient for Ben to take over her work tomorrow, and she knew nothing about the internal situation of XU Group. She had to be led by Armani in the early stage, and if something went wrong, she would be in trouble.

She had thought that Armani would take care of her father's company for whatever reason.

This was also the result that Ben told her.

"Sis, are you blaming me for robbing you of the position of CEO?" Jessie immediately said with tears in her eyes.

Armani smiled and said gently, "Of course I won't. This is our father's company and we are family. No matter what, I won't leave the company."
