Xi Quan chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned by Yang Zi's words. He said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Whether I'm guilty or not, you might as well listen to what I have to say first, and then you can judge whether I'm guilty or not. What do you say, Ms. Yang?"
Yang Zi took a deep breath, looked at Xi Quan, and forced a smile to avoid appearing devastated. She then looked at Xi Quan again, as if to say, "Go ahead and say it, I'm listening."
Xi Quan glanced at Yang Zi, his expression suddenly turned serious, and his voice became much colder: "Of course you have the right to call the police, but if the police investigation finds me to be completely innocent, then please apologize to me, Ms. Yang."
After all, if you were to report it to the police, to be frank, given my current status, the media would definitely report it extensively, because my legal troubles would not only affect Zitai Fashion, but also my original company.
During the police investigation, the company's profits declined due to the client's distrust of me. Afterwards, I will have the audit team compile the statistics and inform Mr. Yang of the extent of the profit decline. I will then request Mr. Yang to fully compensate for the losses, and I will also file a countersuit against Mr. Yang for false accusation.
Yang Zi's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened, and finally she asked Xi Quan, almost word by word, "Threatening me?"
"No, after all, everyone is an adult and should be responsible for their own actions. Today's board meeting was completely unnecessary. But Mr. Yang, you took advantage of your previous position as a senior member of Zitai Fashion and colluded with some unsettled people to hold this board meeting, wasting everyone's time. Shouldn't you pay some price for this?"
Yes, we should, but to be honest, right now we can only refute you; there's nothing we can do to you.
So to be honest, I really hope that you, Mr. Yang, will call the police. After all, that would give me an excuse to retaliate against you. I'm a very petty person.
Furthermore, since the police have been notified, once they begin their investigation, it will undoubtedly be extensive. Such a large company is bound to have some dirty dealings; as the saying goes, "pulling up a radish brings up the mud along with it." I must first thank Mr. Yang for helping me deal with the person who pretended to be disloyal at Zitai.
This was a threat. If Yang Zi had asked, Xi Quan wouldn't have denied it, but Yang Zi didn't ask any further.
Although Yang Zi didn't ask any more questions, everyone in the meeting room, except for Liu Yuliang's mother and Jiang Xinya who was choking up, understood what Xi Quan meant. He was also giving advice to the people who were organizing this board meeting.
Having said all that, it should be enough, but Xi Quan was getting impatient with being called to board meetings again and again, even though it wasn't a big deal.
So Xi Quan added one last thing: "I wonder if Mr. Yang is aware of a simple principle?"
Yang Zi's face had already turned ashen from Xi Quan's rebuke. To be honest, she was a little numb to what Xi Quan said, but she still glanced at him.
Xi Quan chuckled and said, "The biological mother saw her child was dying and didn't want to live anymore, so she gave up on her own child. But then someone couldn't bear to see her child die and brought her back to life. At this point, the biological mother started frequently coming to see the child. Mu Er is the biological mother, that's true, but the child was the one you didn't want in the first place."
At this point, Xi Quan's faint smile faded, and he looked at Yang Zi: "President Yang, if you were in this situation, would you, as the adoptive mother, return the child to the biological mother? Oh, no, that's not quite right. I should say, if you were that child who was about to die but was abandoned by the biological mother, would you still go back to acknowledge your biological mother?"
Xi Quan spoke at length without mentioning Zitai Fashion at all, but as he said before, everyone present, except for Liu Yuliang's mother, knew what Xi Quan meant by those words.
Yang Zi was so angry that she slammed her hands on the table, stood up abruptly, and stared at Xi Quan without blinking.
Xi Quan looked at Yang Zi calmly, without the slightest fear.
In the end, Yang Zi was the first to give in, and she simply turned around and left.
As soon as Jiang Xinya saw Xi Quan leave, she quickly chased after him, "President Yang, President Yang, you can't go back on your promise to me..."
Anxious and flustered, Jiang Xinya was afraid that Yang Zi would abandon her, so she chased after Yang Zi and shouted loudly, which could be faintly heard by the people in the conference room.
After watching Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya leave, Liu Yuliang realized it wasn't appropriate for his mother to stay any longer. He told Xi Quan and then left with his mother.
While Xi Quan's words were directed at Yang Zi, they were also a reminder to the others in the meeting room. Now that Yang Zi and the others have left, only Xi Quan and Ye Qing remain.
The person who had initially organized the board meeting hesitated for a moment before speaking hesitantly: "President Xi, look at the mess this has made, now..."
Xi Quan glanced at the person who spoke, but remained silent, his expression quite serious. Ye Qing, who had been silent until now, looked at Xi Quan and realized that Xi Quan was going to play the bad cop, so he would play the easygoing good cop.
"The latest quarterly profit figures for Zitai Fashion have been released, and I think everyone knows them better than I do. If we continue to develop at this pace, everyone's dividends will increase, and the future of Zitai Fashion will be brighter. But this requires us to work together as one."
"Yes, yes, that's natural." The shareholders nodded in agreement upon hearing Ye Qing's words.
Ye Qing glanced at everyone, then looked at Xi Quan, thinking about what she and Xi Quan had talked about a few days ago. Ye Qing organized her thoughts and said, "Although everyone is now a shareholder of Zitai Fashion, and this meeting is a board meeting, strictly speaking, it's not quite. Xi Quan and I have been planning for Zitai Fashion to go public. After going public, everyone's net worth will definitely skyrocket. But there are many more things to pay attention to if we want to go public!"
Everyone was incredibly excited when they heard that Zitai Fashion was going to be launched!
Ye Qing paused for a moment, exchanged a glance with Xi Quan, and then said, "If we go public, our current brand structure absolutely cannot change. Right now, besides the Zitai Fashion brand itself, there's also my studio's brand Qingye, and then there's Li Yeming Studio's traditional clothing brand Jin. I want to ask everyone, if you had to choose, which brand do you think is more valuable?"
After hearing Ye Qing's words, everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Ye Qing was just using this to lead into what she was going to say, so it didn't really matter whether anyone answered or not. She continued, "The brand Jin from Li Yeming's studio is relatively more valuable."
