Chapter 417 She didn't mention it, but you all came to her door.

"Go ahead," Huo Yanmo said, looking at Wu Dechang.

Wu Dechang glanced at the people present and said, "During today's meeting, the company's intention to invest abroad was mentioned." Wu Dechang went straight to the point, "Yuyan was mentioned among them."

As soon as Wu Dechang opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

This matter had actually been discussed quietly within the Huo family for a long time.

The memory of how everyone in the conference room threatened Huo Yanmo not to interfere with Shi Nian or vote for Yu Yan was still vivid in his mind.

Huo Junhui is here today, and she's sitting to the left of Huo Yanmo right now.

She squinted at Wu Dechang, then looked at Huo Yanmo.

All eyes turned to Huo Yanmo.

Huo Yanmo's expression remained unchanged; he simply gestured for Wu Dechang to continue.

"After the last evaluation update of Yuyan, the group sent people to Yuyan to discuss cooperation, but ultimately failed to invest. Now Yuyan's valuation has skyrocketed, and the Fu family is involved in it."

"According to the latest information we have about the Fu family, the Fu family will strongly support Fu Jinyan. Therefore, the Yuyan Association is rapidly expanding in City A, both domestically and internationally."

Wu Dechang singled this out to talk about it separately.

No one present objected.

Because this is the current reality.

At this point, Wu Dechang stopped and looked at Huo Yanmo.

Huo Yanmo calmly looked at the table.

"So?" Huo Yanmo's voice was indifferent. He said, "What is Director Wu trying to express?"

Wu Dechang was enraged by Huo Yanmo's question.

He said, "So I think we only have two paths now: one is to join, and the other is to resist."

He didn't say it in detail, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Joining means getting on board with Yuyan.

Boycott is like killing Yuyan in its cradle.

As things stand, Yuyan has already secured a huge order with the overseas company TT, making it a force that can't be easily destroyed, especially with the support of the Fu family.

The Fu family is one of the three major giants in City A, so their influence is considerable.

“Currently, the company’s research suggests that joining is better than resisting,” Wu Dechang said.

This was also the consensus among everyone in the conference room.

Huo Yanmo nodded and raised his hand, saying, "Continue."

“Therefore, I think Shi Nian should be more sensible and take the initiative to give the Yuyan shares in his possession to the Huo family,” Wu Dechang said.

In that instant, the entire conference room tensed up.

It was as if everyone held their breath for a moment, their eyes constantly shifting between Wu Dechang and Huo Yanmo.

Wu Dechang was also looking at Huo Yanmo.

Huo Yanmo's expression remained unchanged; he didn't even glance at Wu Dechang.

He simply said, "The reason."

“There’s no reason.” Wu Dechang’s voice was tinged with anger.

"The main issue now is the priority right. The Fu family can invest through its subsidiary, Fu Family Entertainment, while we do not have the priority right. If Shi Nian gives us the shares of Yu Yan, then the Huo family will also be a shareholder and will also enjoy the priority right."

This is the solution Wu Dechang came up with.

Moreover, he was also very dissatisfied with Shi Nian.

He said, "Originally, the Huo family had already led a team there, but Shi Nian used her priority to prevent the Huo family from contributing funds. Shi Nian blocked the Huo family's opportunity! Since she caused the Huo family to lose the opportunity, she should compensate them!"

"Compensation?" Huo Yanmo repeated the two words, his words carrying a hint of amusement.

“That’s right!” Wu Dechang said confidently. “Young Master, aren’t you planning to marry Shi Nian? Since she will be Mrs. Huo in the future, she should prioritize the Huo family. Moreover, her little Yi Shi is no match for our Huo family. In the power struggle after Yu Yan, she will be at a disadvantage and may even be marginalized.”

"In that case, why not just give the shares to the Huo family now?"

Wu Dechang's voice echoed throughout the conference room.

No one else spoke; they all just looked at Huo Yanmo.

Huo Yanmo had always been gentle and refined, but this time, he suddenly smiled.

The sarcasm in his smile was blatant.

Enraged by the laughter, Wu Dechang questioned, "Does the young master think I'm wrong?"

Huo Yanmo raised his eyes and scanned the others present.

"What do you all think? What's your opinion on Director Wu's request?" Huo Yanmo asked.

Those who had already discussed the matter with Wu Dechang immediately spoke out—

“I think Director Wu is right. Shi Nian should be sensible and give up Yuyan Shares.”

"Yes, she won't stay on Yu Yan's plate for long, so it's better for her to give it up."

"If she is immature and insists on her own way, she is not worthy of marrying into the Huo family at all!"

...

Those who faced reduced dividends and bonuses due to missing out on the Yuyan project also supported this claim.

As long as Shi Nian hands over the shares, everyone will still receive dividends.

Looking at their faces, Huo Junhui said directly, "Shameless!"

With the support of the masses, Wu Dechang stood tall.

He said, "Ms. Huo, I'm only thinking about the company and the Huo Group. How is that shameless? Shi Nian should hand over the shares of Yu Yan!"

A bunch of people around him agreed.

They're making a huge fuss right now.

"Smack."

A soft sound.

It was the sound of Huo Yanmo placing his pen on the table.

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at Huo Yanmo.

Wu Dechang was also one.

Huo Yanmo looked at the pen on the table and said, "Indeed shameless."

"Huo Yanmo, you!" Wu Dechang's face instantly turned red.

Huo Yanmo had a smile on his lips, but the smile was very cold.

"Did I say a long time ago that Shi Nian has excellent foresight, that the Yu Yan project has great potential, and that the Huo family could invest in it, even if it's just a small trial with limited funds?"

"Moreover, the Huo family still had a chance at that time."

Huo Yanmo's voice echoed throughout the conference room, but no one dared to utter a sound.

"At the time, I also said that even if the Huo family was unwilling to use the group's funds to invest, I, Huo Yanmo, could use my personal account to cover the cost."

"How did you do it?"

Huo Yanmo smiled.

"They won't allow it either."

"Now that we've discovered the project is indeed a good one, are we going to blame Shi Nian?"

"When coerced by Huo, did he recite that?"

"Is it used to coerce or manipulate people by using words like 'sensible' and 'understanding'?"

Huo Yanmo's voice was very soft, without much emotional fluctuation.

But even saying it so calmly makes many people unable to lift their heads.

“These past few days, Shi Nian has been telling me not to cause you any trouble, because you're only thinking of the company, so I haven't said a word, but…”

"She didn't mention it, but you all came looking for her!"

Huo Yanmo paused slightly, then said coldly, "Is this how you bully her!"
