Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1188 - 1105: Empress Dowager Ye Takes Over (Part 2)

After Ouyang left, Lin Yi carried his precious little girl back to the room.

At the same time, he started telling Xiao Zihan about tomorrow’s schedule, and that the day after tomorrow they’d be getting ready to go to the moon.

On this, Xiao Zihan didn’t have any other ideas, nor any objections.

She just said she’d have to work through the night today to deal with company matters and hand over the jobs on her plate.

After all, once she left there would be a vacancy in that position.

It was a very important position; every major sum of money needed her to supervise and audit it.

Once Xiao Zihan left, who exactly this seat should go to was also something that needed serious thought.

Right now, the only people Lin Yi truly trusted were Xiao Zihan and his parents, and beyond that it was just Li Huiqun and Li Wentao.

But neither of those two were suitable for this job.

Take Li Huiqun for example: this guy is very invested in the tech side, but when it comes to funds, his mind has basically never been on that track.

If he’d wanted to grab hold of that side, the money would probably have been in his hands long ago.

As for the other one, he’s even more so like that.

He only ever wants to manage a small department; if you hand him the entire conglomerate, he’d probably throw down the job and quit on the spot.

Even though he’s currently nominally holding the title of vice president, in practice he only manages some relatively unimportant areas.

As for his dad, he’s busy running his pharmaceutical company now, so he’s swamped with that and nowhere to be seen most days.

During the period when Lin Yi will be away, his dad is still holding the position of group vice president.

That already has his dad run off his feet, with no spare time at all to take on managing the group’s finances.

After thinking it over and over, Lin Yi could only set his sights on his mom.

Maybe she was the only one who had the time, the bandwidth, and the ability.

After all, his mom had always been following at his dad’s side to train herself; in other words, her level was actually pretty high now.

So the two of them went straight to Empress Dowager Ye and told her about this.

And the moment she heard it, Empress Dowager Ye immediately widened her eyes, pointed at Lin Yi’s nose, and started laying into him.

The reason she was scolding Lin Yi wasn’t that he was taking Xiao Zihan to the moon, but that he planned to take her precious granddaughter along as well, which instantly touched his mom’s reverse scale.

You two can go, but this precious granddaughter absolutely cannot. If she goes, how much will I miss her?

But Lin Yi had long since made up his mind about this; he was definitely taking her.

Because he wasn’t just taking Xiao Zihan to the moon—he was taking her into ancient times.

He didn’t want to be separated from his daughter, especially not by two different time-spaces; that kind of longing isn’t something an ordinary person can bear.

Especially if both he and Xiao Zihan left, that would be unfair to Xiaoluo Ning.

Without mom and dad around to look after her, how could the kid possibly be happy?

It’s not like the last time when only Lin Yi left; at least back then, Xiao Zihan stayed here to look after things.

That way Lin Yi didn’t have to worry, and Xiaoluo Ning wouldn’t overthink it.

But if both of them left, that was absolutely out of the question.

So no matter what his mom said, in the end Lin Yi just let her words enter one ear and leave the other, and didn’t respond.

Instead, when his mom got tired of talking, he directly brought up the group’s financial affairs with her.

And maybe because she could see her son’s resolve and knew his decision couldn’t be changed, his mom finally could only sigh helplessly, then picked Xiaoluo Ning up into her arms.

Right now she honestly didn’t want to let go of this precious granddaughter even for a second; she wanted to spend as much time with her as possible, because once they went to the moon, she wouldn’t get to see her anymore and could only keep in touch by phone.

As for the group’s financial matters?

His mom’s education level was actually decent, and she’d always been fairly interested in these financial affairs, especially after training with his dad for so long; she could just about handle it.

After all, according to Lin Yi, all she really needed to do on the finance side was sign her name.

The specifics of how to execute things weren’t something she had to worry about; if she couldn’t figure something out, she could ask his dad.

On this, Empress Dowager Ye was actually quite tempted, but also a bit resistant. After all, the group’s finances weren’t like those of a branch company; the group’s fund allocations were in the tens of billions, even hundreds of billions.

If she slipped up, that would be an astronomical figure.

Even though his mom’s face showed that kind of hesitation, under Lin Yi’s relentless barrage of persuasion, she could only agree to take this on.

Next, Xiao Zihan started explaining the detailed handover work content to Empress Dowager Ye.

Once they got to serious business, Empress Dowager Ye’s expression immediately turned solemn, and she whipped out a notebook and started scribbling rapidly.

Every sentence Xiao Zihan said, she wrote down; later on she even directly turned on the recording function on her phone and recorded everything Xiao Zihan said.

She planned to listen to it carefully whenever she didn’t understand something.

Of course, while she was doing all this, she never once let go of Xiaoluo Ning; the little girl stayed in her arms the whole time.

You could really tell Empress Dowager Ye was going to miss this precious granddaughter.

But there was no helping it—Lin Yi absolutely, absolutely would not leave Ning behind here alone.

They kept talking straight into the night, and the two women still had no intention of stopping.

Xiaoluo Ning, on the other hand, had long since fallen asleep in her grandma’s arms.

Seeing her precious granddaughter sleeping soundly in her arms, Empress Dowager Ye worried that the light and the noise would disturb her, so she reluctantly handed the child over to Lin Yi to take her back to the room to sleep.

After Ning left, Empress Dowager Ye’s hands moved even faster as she kept working and taking notes.

Not only Empress Dowager Ye—even Lin Yi’s dad was also there on the side, listening along.

Because once Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan left, the only people who could call the shots here would be the two of them, so he needed to learn the details too.

Fortunately, over this period his dad’s abilities had really improved.

On many issues, his sense of the bigger picture had changed and broadened.

So the learning process was twice the result for half the effort; when Empress Dowager Ye hadn’t yet understood something, his dad had already gotten it.

Especially since, according to Lin Yi, after simplifying their procedures, Empress Dowager Ye really wouldn’t have that much to do.

Of course, throughout this whole process, Lin Yi was probably the most relaxed and the most idle one there.

Watching the three of them talk nonstop about work, Lin Yi just yawned, then walked back to the room and cuddled his precious daughter to sleep.

Seeing Lin Yi’s back as he left, all three of them could only shake their heads helplessly, and Empress Dowager Ye even sighed aloud.

This brat, honestly. He built such a huge company himself, and now look at him—he’s turned into a hands-off shopkeeper, won’t bother managing it at all.

Instead he’s dumping this gigantic mess onto all of them. It really takes some nerve to do that.

The next morning, when Lin Yi woke up, he found that it was still just Ning and himself in bed.

That made him freeze for a moment. Had the three of them really pulled an all-nighter going over work?

When he went to the study, sure enough, he saw the three of them still there, immersed in work discussions.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but slap his forehead speechlessly:

"Come on, is this really necessary? Why are you working yourselves to the bone like this?

We may be going up to the moon, but communications are still going to be convenient. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just call me then. It’s not like you won’t be able to reach me, so why push yourselves this hard?

And this whole job thing—it’s supposed to give you something to do, not put shackles on you."
