Since she had returned from a trip to Beijing, Lin Yue found herself very busy.

Many project documents awaited her approval, and she needed to attend various planning meetings for the new quarter.

Crucially, the various business dinner invitations that came to Yu were endless.

Yu could receive at least a dozen reservation calls from CEOs every day.

All of them used the guise of negotiating cooperation, but in reality, they just wanted to curry favor with Lin Yue.

By then, who in the entire elite circles of Jiangcheng didn’t know who Lin Yue’s husband was?

Even the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce absurdly and unanimously decided to appoint Lin Yue as the Chamber President!

Moreover, it was a unanimous vote with not a single hand raised in objection!

Guo Changming even personally called Lin Yue, hoping she would consider it.

The local Federation of Industry and Commerce also asked Lin Yue to represent the civilian business groups as the vice-president within the institution.

Since the president was generally a governmental official, otherwise, they would have loved to have Lin Yue as the president.

Lin Yue was quite aware of what they were all after, so she tactfully declined them all.

But at the same time, she remembered what her mother-in-law had said to her, suggesting that if she found it troublesome, she might consider handing over the group management to someone else.

"Du Li, you’ve been with me since I joined the group; if I say, hand the group over to you to manage, do you have the confidence?"

In the office, after Lin Yue had Yu call Deputy General Du Li in, she asked her.

Du Li was surprised, "President Lin, you are only in your twenties, in your prime. Are you planning to retire now?"

Lin Yue chuckled bitterly, "To take care of my husband, I plan to step back from the group management duties."

Not only would she step back, but she would also reassign the shares to a nominee’s name.

She would completely disassociate herself!

Actually, she did not want to give up her career so early.

After all, who could tell how long her marriage to Gu Feng might last?

Once it ended, she would still be herself, ultimately having to support herself.

That being said, after some thought, Lin Yue still decided to sacrifice her public role for Gu Feng.

The future would be dealt with in the future. If they divorced and the group failed under Du Li’s management, she still had the capability to start over. She wouldn’t starve.

Du Li frowned, "President Lin, your husband’s business doesn’t conflict with yours, does it?"

Some senior executives in the company knew that Lin Yue’s husband was also in business.

Both were in the capital circle, so it didn’t make sense for Lin Yue to give up her career, did it?

Capital always hopes to expand as much as possible, doesn’t it?

"Honestly, my husband has now entered the system for work."

Du Li realized, "I understand now."

That indeed necessitated avoidance of conflict, but she still found it hard to understand; what kind of position in the system required one’s wife to give up managing a group with an annual revenue of fifty to sixty billion?

One should know that the Lin Family initially rose up by supporting Lin Langsheng through Thunder Group!

Could it be that her husband was more influential than Lin Yue’s uncle, Lin Langsheng?

Du Li didn’t pry further because through the business confrontation between Chengjun and Thunder Group, she knew that Lin Yue’s husband held a dominant position at home.

It was reasonable for Lin Yue to give up her career here for her husband.

But Du Li knew her boss’s nature; she was merely curious about what kind of background and identity her boss’s husband had that could make such a career-minded woman like Lin Yue make such a unilateral sacrifice.

Lin Yue: "I plan to give you 5% of the shares as a reward for your dedication these past few years staying at the company, and if you can meet our targets this year, I will reward you with another 5% of the shares!"

Du Li’s body shook with joy, "President Lin, rest assured, I am confident in managing the group!"

"Good, then over the next few days, conduct the handover with Yu, and I will formally notify everyone in the group of the appointment tomorrow," Lin Yue said.

"President Lin, will you still come to the company later?" Du Li asked, reluctant to let go.

Both of them had experienced the ups and downs of the group, one domestically and the other internationally, both had travelled everywhere for the sake of the group, and thus had developed a bond.

Lin Yue shook her head, "I will basically not come, but if you have any work-related matters to report, you can come to me."

As she spoke, Lin Yue’s phone on the desk rang.

Normally to avoid messy solicitation calls, it was Yu’s responsibility to filter and answer them before handing them to Lin Yue.

But she took one look and saw ’Husband’ calling, she was startled and immediately passed the phone to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue saw it was Gu Feng’s call, and her melancholy face immediately turned joyful, "Hello?"

Gu Feng asked, "Haven’t you gotten off work yet?"

Lin Yue softly replied, "Hmm, what’s up?"

Gu Feng said, "I’m downstairs at your company, Uncle invited me for dinner, I was wondering if you’ve finished work, you could accompany me."

"Ah?" Lin Yue’s eyes lit up, her face beaming with joy, "You’re back?"

She hurriedly got up and ran to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the road by the group’s building.

Indeed, she saw Gu Feng’s private car. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lin Yue happily holding her phone said, "Wait for me, I’m coming down."

As she spoke, she hung up the phone, casually picked up her shoulder bag, and walked out of the office.

The newly promised Group CEO, Du Li, quickly showed eagerness to keep up, helping the boss press the elevator button and even personally seeing her off.

When she accompanied Lin Yue to Gu Feng’s car, Du Li’s mouth hung open in astonishment wide enough to fit countless eggs!

From the security guard personally opening the door for Lin Yue, to Lin Yue happily smiling as she gracefully sat in the back seat and wrapped her arm around Gu Feng’s as they left.

All the while, Du Li stood there, absolutely stunned.

Yu definitely had no standing to get into the car, she had to head to the garage to drive Lin Yue’s car back.

Seeing Du Li standing foolishly by the roadside, Yu waved her hand in front of her, "Wake up."

Coming to her senses, Du Li incredulously asked, "That, that’s President Lin’s husband?"

Yu nodded and conveyed a message from Lin Yue, "Do well, or else many people are eyeing your position."

Who wouldn’t want to work for the Master’s Wife?

This was an opportunity to skyrocket to the top!

Du Li’s entire body shook as she came to a realization, and she said to Yu sternly, "Tell the boss I will definitely not let her down!"

Her heart really was stirring up a storm!

No wonder the Chengjun Group had been utterly defeated without ever seeing President Lin’s man from the beginning to the end!

No wonder on that day of the company team-building activity, Wei Changqing came to apologize in person!

How could you compete at this level?

One word from her husband could drive policies that could support countless capital giants!

Du Li glanced at the Thunder Group building.

Annual revenue of over five billion?

For President Lin’s husband, that probably just amounted to a toy for his wife’s amusement!
