Unlike Aunt Zhou, Zhou Yi, the person involved, showed no concern for the upcoming meeting and continued to eat calmly.
"Auntie, don't worry."
"I'm just going to the company to make a simple appearance. Even if those people want to trip me up, they'll have to see if they have the ability."
Aunt Zhou gave a helpless smile: "You, it's good that you have this confidence, but you can't underestimate your opponents. Those people are not to be underestimated."
"Have you read all the materials I had my secretary send you before?"
"Don't worry if you forget later, I'll be there to help you."
Aunt Zhou felt she had never been so worried before.
Even when she first became the acting president, facing a group of difficult shareholders, she was only focused on fighting and won the battle with sheer determination.
But considering that this was Zhou Yi's first time appearing at the meeting as the heir, she was afraid that the shareholders would cause trouble and make Zhou Yi lose face.
Aunt Zhou didn't have a good appetite, but seeing Zhou Yi calmly eating breakfast and even having the mood to comfort her, her tense heart relaxed a little, so she also ate a little to fill her stomach.
An hour later.
The Zhou Group building.
Most of the shareholders arrived at the company early. Although they had approved of Zhou Yi at the last banquet, it did not mean that Zhou Yi was really capable of managing the company well.
If Zhou Yi were to appear at the company for the first time and knew nothing about management, then naturally none of the many employees in the company would genuinely respect him.
The gazes of the numerous shareholders met in the air, and seeing the calculations in each other's eyes, a smile unconsciously crept onto their lips.
very good!
It seems that many shareholders are unwilling to be managed by a young kid and are all here to observe the meeting with the intention of embarrassing Zhou Yi.
Although the Zhou family has been established for decades, the Zhou Family Building still looks impressive, full of technological features, and remains the tallest building in Luzhou.
Since arriving at work this morning, the receptionist at the Zhou Group's lobby has not sat down in the chair behind her.
High-ranking officials or shareholders kept coming to Zhou's, and she had to keep standing up to greet them.
After finally managing to sit down and rest, the receptionist asked another person with a puzzled look, "What's going on today? It's not a regular shareholders' meeting."
"Why are all the shareholders here? I haven't been able to eat the steamed buns I bought this morning because they're cold. I'm afraid another shareholders will come later."
Another receptionist looked at her colleague in shock and asked in surprise, "Huh? You didn't know?"
"It's said that today is the day the Zhou family heir is coming to the company, and there will probably be a big meeting, so all the company's shareholders are here!"
The receptionist stared in shock, quickly pulled out her phone, opened the news that was still trending at number one, and pointed to a photo on it, asking...
"You mean our Zhou Group's future CEO is coming?"
"It's him? Is it really him?"
"The news online says he's very young and still in school, oh my god."
"I wonder if he has a girlfriend."
As the two were talking, their eyes suddenly caught sight of the luxury car outside. They were startled and quickly stood up from their chairs, flashing a friendly and sweet smile.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"
The two watched as Acting President Aunt Zhou walked into the company side by side with a young man. The man was wearing a suit, with sharp features and a strong face. He was as composed and unhurried as a noble young master.
He looks a bit too young, yet his eyes reveal a sense of composure.
Even when walking alongside the imposing Aunt Zhou, he was not overshadowed in the slightest. The two walked side by side, appearing to be evenly matched, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
After the two entered the president's private elevator, the two receptionists exchanged a glance and couldn't help but get excited.
"Was that the heir to our Zhou Group? My goodness, he's so young, and so handsome and tall! It's like a novel has come to life!"
"He really is like the male lead in a domineering CEO drama. Finally, I've seen a CEO who isn't a greasy middle-aged man."
The two receptionists were excitedly talking while looking down at their phones to send messages to their colleagues.
bite!
The elevator has stopped.
As the two stepped out of the elevator, the secretary immediately came over and whispered to Aunt Zhou, "Ms. Zhou, the shareholders and senior management of the company have all arrived."
Aunt Zhou raised her hand to look at her watch and snorted coldly.
"They were quite proactive in holding this meeting; they were already waiting in the conference room ten minutes early. It seems they were well-prepared."
Those shareholders usually act all high and mighty; not being late is already a sign of their good manners.
During regular meetings, when Aunt Zhou was speaking, shareholders would arrive late and interrupt her, and some would even nitpick and refute her.
This time, it was clear that the shareholders had already made preparations and were waiting to dig a pit for Zhou Yi.
Aunt Zhou looked at Zhou Yi with concern again, but Zhou Yi showed no nervousness and instead chuckled:
"Since we're here, let's go in."
The secretary respectfully led the way, pushing open the conference room door sideways.
"Creak!"
As soon as the conference room door was opened, all eyes turned towards the entrance.
Everyone present in the conference room had already met Zhou Yi at the banquet.
But the atmosphere at this moment was completely different from that at the banquet. At the banquet, Zhou Yi pressed forward step by step, hiding in the shadows and never showing his face. He revealed his murderous intent towards the old shareholders one after another, making everyone present tremble with fear.
However, I'm at the company right now!
As if they had returned to their home turf, their gazes toward Zhou Yi were filled with a variety of emotions, including scrutiny, inquiry, probing, and sneer.
Dozens of people were there, all waiting for Zhou Yi to embarrass himself, but Zhou Yi walked in calmly, without saying a word, and sat down in the president's seat.
Aunt Zhou and her secretary sat down on either side of Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi calmly accepted the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, his tone unhurried and detached, exuding the indifference of someone in a superior position, and said briefly:
"I'm sure you've all seen me before, so I don't need to introduce myself again."
"Since everyone is here, let me briefly talk about the company's development next year."
At this point, according to the established procedure, a senior company executive should have stepped forward to speak and explain their respective department's plans.
pity!
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; not a single person stood up.
Aunt Zhou was about to stand up when she saw Zhou Yi raise an eyebrow, survey the room, and speak in a calm tone with a hint of pressure.
"What, do I, the CEO, need to personally call them out?"
Several senior executives, intimidated by Zhou Yi's imposing presence, were about to present him with their prepared business plans when a shareholder in the shareholder seats chuckled and said:
"Don't blame them. After all, you're still too young, and it's your first time at the company."
