Chapter 591 Losing the battle but not the war

Yangyang snorted coldly, "If anyone bullies Mom, you should go up and hit them without holding back."

Upon hearing that she had such a heavy responsibility, Xingxing's sleepiness vanished instantly, and she immediately ran all over the company, looking for a suitable prop.

Protecting Mom requires absolute certainty.

...

Early the next morning.

Su Youling, all dressed up and with impeccable makeup, appeared in the conference room of the Strange Kingdom. She was determined to win this tough battle, no matter what!

When the secretary saw her come to the company, she quickly came over with a large stack of documents. "President, Vice President Wen asked me to give you these documents, saying that you will need them for today's meeting."

"Thank you." Su Youling didn't even glance at it before saying, "Inform all the board members that I'll be waiting for them in the conference room in twenty minutes."

"Yes." The secretary hesitated, thinking of the rumors circulating in the company. "President, this new project has failed, and there are many dissenting voices in the company. It seems that even the headquarters has been alarmed... Please be careful at today's meeting."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Su Youling's eyes turned slightly cold as she took the documents back to her office and headed straight for her computer desk—even if Mrs. Ferro was aggressive, she would not easily admit defeat.

She didn't work for nothing all those years in that strange land.

It's not so simple for Ye Qing and Shen Xiyue to take away her hard work and reap the benefits so easily.

As soon as she turned on her computer, she saw an unfamiliar folder on the desktop, but it had a very familiar little sun icon, and her heart skipped a beat.

Isn't this Yangyang's special feature?

Did the little guy remotely control her computer?

Su Youling calmly watched the reflection of the necklace on the computer screen, without opening the folder, but instead looked at some of the company's financial statements and reports.

A short while later, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"President, the board members have all arrived."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Su Youling was about to get up when she suddenly noticed something hard under the chair.

She touched it discreetly, held the small object in her palm, got up and turned off the computer. "Notify the security department that there will be an emergency meeting on this floor today. Temporarily turn off the surveillance cameras on this floor and in the meeting room."

Although the secretary didn't understand, everyone had watched Su Youling work her way up from the bottom over the past five years and recognized her abilities, so they naturally wouldn't doubt her order: "I'll do it right away."

The atmosphere in the conference room could only be described as suffocating; the room was filled with a cacophony of curses, all directed at Su Youling.

It seemed as if losing this project was like digging up the ancestral graves of these people, completely forgetting that Su Youling had recently enabled Strange Kingdom to fully open up the domestic market, winning huge profit margins and development prospects.

"It's so early in the morning, and you're all getting on in years, why get so worked up?" Su Youling pushed open the door and entered, instructing her secretary, "Go and brew some tea to cool you down and replace this coffee."

The secretary smelled the strong odor of gunpowder and quickly turned to leave.

The board members were all veterans who had worked for the Ferro family for many years, and they relied on their seniority to act arrogantly, showing no respect for Su Youling whatsoever.

"Mr. Ka, stop pretending to be ignorant. You are the person most responsible for this project failure, and you must give us shareholders an explanation."

"Don't think that just because you've secured domestic art exhibition events, you can act all high and mighty in the company and look down on us old guys!"

"Headquarters knows about this and has doubts about your work ability. They might replace you as CEO soon, so you won't have to act like a president anymore."

The person who disapproved the most of Su Youling, a young girl, from rising to the top was Director Lex, an old man with mostly white hair but still full of fighting spirit. He had also fought alongside Old Master Yin and Mrs. Ferro to build the empire.

His greatest pleasure all day long was picking on Su Youling.

After the board members had finished complaining, Lex slowly took a sip of his coffee. "Mr. Ka, have you figured out how to explain this to the board? Someone has to take responsibility for the project, otherwise—"

“I never said I wouldn’t take responsibility.” Su Youling turned on the projector and first showed her resignation report. “The new project failed, and as CEO, I bear the primary responsibility. Therefore, I am officially resigning in front of everyone today.”

Everyone was speechless.

She just agreed like that? She compromised?

Is this still the same powerful and never-say-die CEO?

This isn't the first time she's faced a similar "coup" scene. Every time, she argues her case with reason and engages in a fierce debate, leaving the board members questioning their very existence.

"Mr. Ka, have you lost your mind?" someone asked suspiciously. "You're just giving up the CEO position of Strange Kingdom like that? Do you know what that means?"

Su Youling shrugged. "It means that all my hard work over the past five years has been wasted. The huge profits that the Strange Kingdom has gained because of me will have nothing to do with me in the future. It will only allow later generations to reap the benefits."

Lex looked at her suspiciously. "What do you mean? Is there some kind of trap here?"

"Persecutory delusions are an illness; I suggest you seek treatment as soon as possible." — Su You

Ling put away her resignation report, looking relaxed and at ease. "The new CEO was personally appointed by Mrs. Ferro, and I believe he will be here soon. Let's treat this meeting as a welcome party for the new CEO."

"What!" Lex was furious. "Why didn't you inform the shareholders about the company's personnel changes? What kind of tricks are you playing? And you just abandon a new project like that, and then you just walk away. Who will bear the losses? This project is our company's biggest investment channel this year. Don't even think about just packing your bags and leaving."

“That makes sense.” Su Youling curled her lips and pulled up the news of the Ye Group signing a new project, as well as the financial statements of the Strange Kingdom for the past five years, shareholder dividend details, and reports on the company’s appreciation rate…

The pile of documents overwhelmed everyone, and while they were angry, they also felt a little guilty—putting aside everything else, no one could deny the value that Su Youling had created for the Strange Kingdom over the years.

Su Youling said calmly, "Your expressions have already said everything. This shows that you are all sensible people, and no one is blind! In the business world, empty words and grand pronouncements are all fake. Only data is the most real, and the money in your pockets is the most reliable."

"Although this project failure has caused losses to the company, I have done my best. No one wanted to see Ye's company intercept the project halfway through."

She glanced outside discreetly and said calmly, "Fortunately, everyone doesn't need to worry. The new CEO has a close relationship with Ye Qing. Who knows, if you all give him a few more words of advice, the new president might just hand over the project to Strange Kingdom?"

Lex stood up in shock. "What? Who exactly is this new CEO? He stole our project and dares to come here and act all high and mighty? Does he have a death wish?"

The door opened as soon as he finished speaking.

Su Youling stood up and clapped first, "Everyone, the new president has arrived, let's welcome him!"
