"I can tell you with certainty that the boss was not only aware of this matter, but he also personally decided on this plan."

These words were like a bomb, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.

Most people originally thought that Annie came here to convey Chen Dong's orders only to appease everyone and try to stabilize morale.

But no one expected that Chen Dong would issue such an order, which was tantamount to completely negating all the work that everyone had done. If Chen Dong were not the boss of Longteng Group, he would probably be cursing.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Annie with great surprise. Others might not know her identity, but Lin Zhiyuan knew that Annie was Chen Dong's woman. Since she could say such a thing, she must have been instructed by Chen Dong.

Although he still didn't understand the situation, he couldn't always make logical deductions about his brother-in-law.

But as it turns out, every seemingly absurd decision Chen Dong made was proven correct in hindsight.

That's why Lin Zhiyuan's expression remained very calm after Annie said those words.

Wang An appeared very anxious, repeatedly gesturing to Lin Zhiyuan to step forward and speak, but Lin Zhiyuan's gaze remained fixed on the ground, completely ignoring Wang An's gesture.

After a moment, Wang An couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to question, "President An, since you said it was the boss's decision, then you must be able to contact the boss. Can you ask the boss for a reason?"

"In the past few years, I, Wang An, have always been dedicated to my work. Even during the Chinese New Year, I have never left the company, all for the sake of developing our own products."

"But now? With just a few words, they want us to give up our overseas market share. Do you know how many countries I traveled to in order to enter the overseas market?"

It's all tears when you talk about it, especially in the 1990s. When people saw someone with yellow skin and black hair, their first reaction was that the person was from Japan or South Korea. Very few people could immediately recognize that the person standing opposite them was actually Chinese.

Moreover, when the other party learns that you are Chinese, the extremely contemptuous look in their eyes makes you want to crawl into a hole.

After finally establishing a foothold overseas through steady progress and relying on technology and cost control, Chen Dong wants to wipe out all these people who have worked hard day and night with just one sentence. How can he do that?

Despite her understanding, Annie still frowned after hearing Wang An's words.

If she weren't afraid of Chen Dong saying she hadn't managed to calm the employees down, Annie would have immediately lost her temper.

Why did you have to say such bad things about Chen Dong?

"Wang An, shut up!"

"But......"

"There are no buts. Since the boss has spoken, we employees have to listen to him."

Lin Zhiyuan's words struck Wang An like a blow to the head. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that this was a private company.

"Mr. An, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."

Wang An's lips twitched for a long time. After apologizing to Annie, he sat down as if his heart had turned to ashes.

Yes, Lin Zhiyuan is right!

Since they've taken the job Chen Dong gave them, they should obey Chen Dong's orders, both morally and logically, instead of going against him.

What am I to you?

Heh... He's just a slightly higher-level employee.

Annie gestured gratefully to Lin Zhiyuan before saying, "Manager Wang, I understand how you feel. If the boss were here, he would definitely be able to give you a reasonable explanation. But unfortunately, the boss has more important matters to attend to. What I can tell you now is that the boss must have his reasons for making this arrangement."

"As for the products manufactured by Longteng Electronics, all of you here, ask yourselves honestly, are they really substandard in quality? Or are the materials we use not environmentally friendly enough? I think none of these are the case."

"I also know that many of you here regard our group as your own home, and you must be very angry when you are bullied outside."

"I share the same view as everyone else. But then again, knowing that there's nothing wrong with our product, why are they deliberately making things difficult for us?"

The meeting room fell silent immediately.

Often, it's not that we can't get over it, but rather that we feel resentful. We've worked so hard, yet others still go to great lengths to make things difficult for us, making our efforts seem like a waste.

Anne did just that. First, she used strong psychological suggestion to portray herself and everyone present as a small group, telling everyone that we are together and that others are deliberately causing trouble for us. This would create a sense of unity against external forces.

really--

Annie's words successfully stirred up everyone's emotions.

"What right do these damn foreigners have?"

"President An, can you give everyone a definite answer? Is it because they can't compete with us, so they're resorting to such despicable tactics to force us to withdraw?"

It's not that there aren't clear-headed executives; it's just a matter of how to guide them.

Anne chuckled and nodded. "You're absolutely right. The other side is indeed afraid that our Longteng Group will grow bigger and stronger. That's why these interest groups behind the scenes have taken such extreme measures to force us to withdraw from overseas markets."

"Is there no law at all?"

“The law?” Annie’s lips curled up, and then she said solemnly, “There is no law in this world. All moral standards and laws are only for ordinary people. They do not apply to the few who hold high positions of power.”
