I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Where Did Yuan Xi Get So Many Mi Chen’s Shares

Monday.

After Mi Chen’s IPO, the first shareholders’ meeting was held to establish a board of directors and elect a chairman.

The shareholders’ meeting lasted a full three hours.

It was no surprise that Yuan Xi was successfully elected as chairman, and when the document appointing the chairman was sent to each department via the OA system, gossip about Yuan Xi filled the offices at Mi Chen.

“Secretary Yuan becoming a vice president is one thing, but how did she suddenly become the chairman? How did she become the person with the most shares in Mi Chen?”

“Given Mi Chen’s current stock price, Yuan Xi should be the new richest person in Jiang City, right?”

“Isn’t Shixi Finance the biggest investor in Mi Chen? How did it become Yuan Xi personally?”

“Isn’t Yuan Xi the daughter of the Chuneng Group? Did the Chuneng Group buy her the shares from Shixi Finance?”

“That’s unlikely, the Chuneng Group couldn’t possibly buy the shares under Yuan Xi’s name.”

Because Gu Hanchen had placed two oxen at Mi Chen’s entrance, Mi Chen was once again a hot search topic, and quite a few financial bloggers noted the new appointment of Mi Chen’s chairman.

Regarding Yuan Xi becoming the new chairman of Mi Chen, the internet was abuzz with various opinions about Chairman Yuan Xi of Mi Chen.

Yuan Xi naturally also heard those gossips, but she didn’t care.

However, by the afternoon, two trending searches slowly climbed up.

#Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi Infidelity Within Marriage#

Yuan Xi didn’t consider herself a celebrity or an internet sensation. She was well-known online primarily because she worked for Mi Chen, and her Weibo had over fifty thousand followers, most of whom were Mi Chen’s game players.

How could her affair become a trending search?

And, when did she have an affair?

Yuan Xi felt puzzled when she received the message from Chen Yuan and clicked in.

The first hot search was a video edited by an UP host featuring Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen, titled “Overbearing Mr. Gu X Gentle Secretary.”

There weren’t many video records of Yuan Xi accompanying Gu Hanchen in public appearances.

But that UP host somehow dug up so many videos, editing together clips of her and Gu Hanchen.

And truth be told, the UP host had some real skill, cutting together scenes of Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen that were quite ambiguous.

The final scene freezes on Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen at Time Square on the NASDAQ’s big screen, pressing the electronic bell for the IPO together, their hands intertwined.

Melon Crunch Report: “Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen could be considered ill-fated lovers. They liked each other a long time ago, but the Gu Family looked down on Yuan Xi’s humble origins, as just a secretary, so they opposed the union. Yuan Xi could only marry a rural man as her husband. After becoming a daughter of the Chu Family, she naturally looked down on her rural husband and then had an affair with Gu Hanchen.”

Nosy Netizen No.1: “You can’t deny Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen do make a great match, fitting in terms of status. No wonder Yuan Xi became the new chairman of Mi Chen, Gu Hanchen must have helped her, right?”

Every Bad Woman Should Die: “This is adultery by Yuan Xi! What do you mean well-matched? Is this the kind of culture Mi Chen promotes—so disgusting?”

“Exactly, if it were a man abandoning his down-and-out wife, he would have been condemned to death. Being a woman doesn’t give Yuan Xi the right to abandon her rural husband, right? What she has with Gu Hanchen isn’t being well-matched; it’s an affair!”

“Yuan Xi is having an affair, an affair, an affair. The US stock market opens today, Mi Chen’s shares will definitely plummet!”

“Is workplace romance leading to affairs part of Mi Chen’s corporate culture?”

“If Yuan Xi really likes Gu Hanchen, why doesn’t she divorce? Why commit adultery within her marriage?”

“After all, having just become a daughter of the Chu Family, if she were to divorce her rural husband, wouldn’t she be labeled as looking down on rural people? With Mi Chen at such a critical juncture of its IPO, how could she possibly get a divorce? Yuan Xi’s husband is so pitiful, wearing such a big green hat.”

“Yuan Xi’s husband is really pitiful. His wife becomes a genuine wealthy heiress, yet for greater glory and riches, she has an affair with Gu Hanchen.”

Yuan Xi looked at the trending searches, which were getting more and more absurd, and was speechless.

She clicked on Gu Hanchen’s Weibo, where Gu Hanchen was already cursing.

“What the fuck does it have to do with me and Yuan Xi if her husband is being cuckolded?”

Gu Hanchen had also sent a lawyer’s letter, warning netizens that the internet is not beyond the law and that spreading rumors and slander was not permissible.

But as soon as the lawyer’s letter was issued, netizens became even more suspicious of the abnormal relationship between Gu Hanchen and Yuan Xi.

When Yuan Xi left the company after work, the door was swarmed with reporters, both entertainment and financial journalists.

Even though security guards cleared a path, the photographers were still snapping pictures, and reporters shoved their microphones in Yuan Xi’s face, “Yuan Xi, can you tell us if there really is something unusual about your relationship with Gu Hanchen?”

“Yuan Xi, when are you and your husband getting a divorce?”

Yuan Xi looked up at the reporter who had asked the question and replied with a light smile, “Even if Gu Hanchen died, my husband and I wouldn’t get divorced.”

The reporters were clearly stunned by Yuan Xi’s response.

Many reporters were still broadcasting live on streaming software, “Yuan Xi, can you explain your relationship with Gu Hanchen?”

Yuan Xi: “It’s just a boss and subordinate relationship. Before, Gu Hanchen was the boss, and starting from today, I am his boss.”

“But Miss Yu from the Yu Family hinted that when you were Gu Hanchen’s secretary, you were very close to him!”

Yuan Xi said to the camera: “Over the years, there have been continuous attempts to stigmatize the term ‘female secretary.’ When I was Gu Hanchen’s secretary, I indeed faced a lot of malice. Many people greeting Mr. Gu would make a point to emphasize my appearance rather than my abilities.”

“I can assure you that my relationship with Gu Hanchen is pure. I hope that women can face fewer labels and insults in the workplace. Nowadays, more and more chairmen’s and office directors’ secretaries are specifically requesting men, mainly because there’s too much malice towards women.”

“Professions that have been stigmatized against women are far too many, especially for female secretaries who are constantly targeted with rumors. I earnestly request that you media not lead the way in prejudging the profession of a female secretary! Give liberal arts women a chance to find a job.”

“Make way, make way.”

A few more bodyguards squeezed their way through, blocking off the journalists.

Huo Shiyuan walked up to Yuan Xi and grasped her hand, “It seems Bo Fan isn’t at the end of his rope after all, still having the energy to manipulate trending topics and public opinion.”

Yuan Xi frowned: “Bo Fan again?”

Huo Shiyuan nodded: “Yeah, all these marketing accounts are sponsored by Fan Yan, but the trending topic has been withdrawn.”

Meanwhile, the number of comments in the live streams of the news reporters’ phones began to increase rapidly.

“Is Yuan Xi’s husband really that handsome?”

“At first, I also thought Yuan Xi was confused, why a CEO’s secretary would marry a rural guy, but now I understand Yuan Xi.”

“Is Yuan Xi really eating that well?”

“It must be great to become a rich woman, able to have an unparalleled handsome man as a husband!”

“What’s the use of being handsome? Can good looks be eaten?”

“Being handsome can’t be eaten, but it certainly complements the meal, Yuan Xi has good taste.”

Chu Yan, who was in the suite of the Shiyi Hotel, saw the flood of comments emerging in the live stream and furrowed her brows, “What’s the use of a husband being handsome? No money means no entry into the circle, being unable to make a decent appearance.”

Fu Yi looked at Chu Yan with a frown from the side, “Yuan Xi holds forty-one percent of Mi Chen’s shares. Discussing Mi Chen’s current share price, Yuan Xi has already surpassed Chu Qing of the Chuneng Group in net worth, making her Jiangcheng’s richest person. Now, Yuan Xi doesn’t need a rich husband at all.”

Chu Yan frowned: “Where did Yuan Xi get so many Mi Chen shares from? Huo Shiyuan is Mi Chen’s biggest investor, right?”

Seeing Chu Yan’s confusion, Fu Yi lay down on the bed: “Yuan Xi’s affair must be true, but she didn’t cheat with Gu Hanchen, it was with Huo Shiyuan. After all, Huo Shiyuan wouldn’t give Yuan Xi that three-hundred-million-dollar diamond ring for no reason.”
