Although everyone was upset, they still offered suggestions to Zhou Yanci in order to protect their common interests.

Zhou Yanci raised her head, her hope rekindled.

Shangwu is now operating the branch. The first product made from the design draft sold very well, exceeding their expected revenue by more than eight times.

He will soon successfully cooperate with the Ye family, at which point billions will be within his grasp.

What does a temporary impact matter?

Thinking about this, Zhou Yanci calmed down.

"I'll go find Shang Wu and explain this matter clearly."

He wanted to leave, but the shareholder behind him spoke up slowly again.

“You should know that we only wanted Zhou Zean to be the successor. Later, he voluntarily stepped down and gave you the position of successor. You should cherish everything you have in this position.”

Zhou paused, speechless.

He heard the shareholders behind him threatening, "If you make any more major mistakes, we really need to consider changing the successor."

With her back to them, Zhou Yanci slowly clenched her fists, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

He gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold back, without showing the slightest abnormality. He turned his head and nodded humbly and sincerely.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Zhou Yanci turned and left. After returning to her office, she smashed everything on the floor in a fit of rage.

The room was a complete mess.

Xiao Dong and his team stood outside, exchanging glances and barely daring to breathe.

The thought of Zhou Yanci dealing with her relationship with Shang Wu sent chills down their spines.

Shang Wu has been wholeheartedly devoted to the company all these years, and all of this stems from her love for Zhou Yanci.

Now that Zhou Yanci has cheated on his girlfriend and gotten her pregnant, and their affair has been exposed, no one can imagine how Shang Wu will react in this situation.

But it is foreseeable that Shang Wu will not forgive him easily.

As everyone was speculating, a staff member suddenly rushed in from outside in a panic.

"Where is President Zhou? President Zhou! I need to see President Zhou!"

His tone was tinged with panic and despair.

Several people stopped him.

"What's wrong? Why are you all so flustered? Get out of the way and don't bother Mr. Zhou! He's upset about what's going on online!"

"Our cooperation with the Ye family has gone wrong, it's a major disaster!"

The staff member shouted it out.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Yanci was also taken aback for a moment.

He flung open the office door, stared intently at the staff member who had come to deliver the message, walked over, and grabbed his shoulder forcefully.

"What did you just say? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

He stared intently at the staff member, his eyes seeming murderous.

The staff member swallowed hard and said cautiously, "The Ye family's project has run into trouble. Due to a major technical error by the staff, the relevant departments are not approving the Ye family's investment, and all the investment funds will be lost."

Zhou Yanci's face turned pale, and she swayed.

The staff quickly helped him up, but he couldn't even cry.

"I haven't finished yet. This matter has caused the Ye family to lose 3.5 billion. According to the contract we signed, you will have to bear all the losses."

Zhou Yanci exclaimed in disbelief, "Why should I bear all the losses! I only invested fifty percent!"

The staff member was on the verge of tears: "According to the contract, if we make money, Chengzhou will share 50% of the profits; if we lose money, you have to bail out the entire amount owed to the Ye family."

"When did I ever sign such a contract? Let me see the contract. It's impossible! This is a scam. The Ye family wouldn't do something like this to me!"

Zhou Yanci couldn't bear such a blow, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.

He believed in the Ye family's capabilities and was certain they would make a profit, so he didn't even think about looking at the contract when he signed it.

The staff had already brought the contract over, and now they handed it over tremblingly.

Zhou Yanci stepped forward, snatched it away, and almost fell over after reading it.

Everyone rushed over to help him.

Zhou Yanci's breathing became increasingly rapid. She gripped the contract tightly and murmured, "Three and a half billion..."

He completely broke down.

The Ye family actually made him the one who would bear full responsibility in the contract.

His scandal caused the stock price to fall, and shareholders were hoping that their losses could be offset by the Ye family's profits.

Now he can't make up a single penny, and he still has to compensate the Ye family with billions of yuan.

Where does he get so much cash flow?

Running a company requires money from all sorts of places.

He only had a few hundred million in his own private account, and he used it all to invest in the Ye family's projects.

Zhou Yanci looked ashen-faced and leaned against the wall.

The corridor was crowded with people, but not a single person dared to utter a sound.

Just then, the shareholders sent people over again.

"Mr. Zhou, the board of directors wants to see you. Also, Miss Shang is here."
