Tonight was definitely a very pleasant surprise for Chen Cixiu.

In the video, he watched Jiang Yu, full of confidence and charisma at a conference table abroad, whose every move commanded respect.

For a woman to have such courage and skill in the workplace is something only a handful of big shots Chen Cixiu knows.

Now, there's another Jiang Yu.

Fortunately, he hasn't lost his English level and can understand it, but it's still a bit difficult for him to speak it fluently like a local. Normal communication is not a big problem.

Chen Cixiu looked up at Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu would glance down at him slightly after each speech.

The two exchanged a glance, and a smile appeared on Jiang Yu's lips.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat down next to her.

She wanted to cover her forehead several times.

This world is the biggest plaything for the two of you.

For such an important meeting, President Jiang, you still dared to secretly make a video call.

What's the difference between this and playing on your phone during class?

Thanks to her exceptional abilities, the other party had no idea what she was doing. Every word she uttered made them review the documents, so none of them knew that Jiang Yu and Chen Cixiu were secretly making phone calls.

Because what we're discussing today isn't a secret; everyone outside knows it, which is the main reason Jiang Yu dared to make the video call.

She wouldn't make that call if it involved trade secrets.

Even so, Lin Xiaoxiao still sighed silently in her heart.

She knew what Jiang Yu was doing, but she couldn't laugh because she had to hold it in.

I feel terrible.

As Jiang Yu's meeting drew to a close, Chen Cixiu gradually fell asleep.

Jiang Yu had turned off the sound so as not to disturb the meeting, so all she could see was Chen Cixiu's sleeping face.

After the meeting ended.

The other party's representative wanted to invite Jiang Yu to lunch, but Jiang Yu declined.

The other party then left.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked beside her and said, "President Jiang, you're really bold to make a video call here. If you're discovered, they'll definitely say you did it on purpose and don't take them seriously at all."

Jiang Yu's expression was very calm, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.

"so what?"

Lin Xiaoxiao calmed down; the pressure from those three words was too great.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to organize the materials today, and we don't need to come in this afternoon either."

Jiang Yu spoke slowly.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Why?"

"Think about what our original demands were?" Jiang Yu asked Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Initially, our cooperation with Laisi Company was initiated by us, and they were responsible for the follow-up."

"And now?"

Jiang Yu asked again.

"Their current demand is cooperation, that is, a 50/50 split, but I think that's a reasonable demand." Lin Xiaoxiao could only see this much; she couldn't see anything deeper.

Jiang Yu didn't blame her or say anything to her. Jiang Yu liked Lin Xiaoxiao very much and brought Lin Xiaoxiao to her current achievements because he hoped that she would always have a good friend and a good assistant by her side.

Just like Dad and his best brother, the two of them have been together through thick and thin all these years.

Jiang Zemin's secretary has never been changed, and Jiang Zemin's secretary has never mentioned resigning.

Because President Jiang made him even better.

Jiang Yu was naturally influenced by her father, President Jiang, so she wanted Lin Xiaoxiao to stay by her side forever. Of course, to keep her there, she had to improve herself.

She explained, “Joint development means that our control over the investment target will be split in half. Literally, it seems that we only need to spend half the money to get the original shares. But have you considered that once we develop jointly, it means that their company’s shareholding will be much higher than ours? What we were originally going to do was invest in their company. Now they want to join in. Isn’t this just getting something for nothing?”

"So, they want to keep their majority stake? But according to what was said in the meeting, they can't possibly have the majority stake." Lin Xiaoxiao was still a little confused.

"Have you forgotten about those retail investors? An Yuan must have absolute say with foreign companies. If they don't understand this, then let them find investment companies themselves. As far as I know, none of these foreign companies are optimistic about their projects, and without our help, they'll starve."

Jiang Yu smiled and took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand as they walked forward.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and took her arm, saying, "President Jiang, it has to be you. You really are the best."

Jiang Yu glanced at her and said, "Stop flattering me. You still need to learn more. You have made great progress in the past few years, but you haven't been able to focus on those retail investors. These retail investors don't usually play any role, but if someone buys them up, it will be a huge disaster for Anyuan."

Lin Xiaoxiao had always been curious as to why Jiang Yu insisted on having veto power when making investments in overseas companies.

All these years, Lin Xiaoxiao has never asked about this situation.

The main reason is that those companies used to usually agree very readily.

An Yuan has become their de facto controlling company, and Lin Xiaoxiao only became curious about this situation today.

"I don't want anyone eating my food and then cursing my mother."
