Now that there is something to do, let's get moving.
That night, Qi Nuan decided to help Lu Yin get at least two external directors, so after receiving the information sent by Gao Yi, she immediately made an appointment.
Lu Yin did not stop her actions anymore, but still sent his special assistant Zhao to her side.
Mr. Liu, one of the two external independent directors who are not involved in pharmaceuticals, still has about a year left in his term. However, after seeing Gu Hui's behavior, he was worried that his reputation would be ruined sooner or later if he followed this young Mr. Gu, so he had long intended to withdraw.
The other director had been recommended by him to join the board of directors of Hongsheng Electronics and was naturally on good terms with him, so Mr. Liu invited him out as well.
After Qi Nuan stated his purpose, they naturally went down the ladder immediately and expressed their willingness to conduct a board vote according to President Lu's wishes.
Qi Nuan smiled and thanked them, saying that President Lu had always admired the two directors, and it was truly commendable that the three parties had so readily determined a cooperative position.
She said that General Lu would later meet with the two through Special Assistant Zhao to discuss specific cooperation signing matters.
Director Liu was beaming with joy, and Special Assistant Zhao was naturally very considerate and immediately exchanged contact information with him and another director to confirm their information.
Qi Nuan had managed to win over the two external independent directors.
However, Qi Nuan was not satisfied with this. If she wanted Lu Yin to win smoothly, she needed to find another way to work harder.
Director Gao Yi supported her idea and, based on his own experience, recommended a more senior external director to Qi Nuan.
But unlike the previous two, this one has been with the Gu family for a longer time, so there is no guarantee that the Gu family will not have any leverage over him.
After Qi Nuan understood the situation, he still decided to try to win him over.
Through the photo in the electronic file, she recognized that this Mr. Hu was the old director who said before the welcome party that he was "so excited to meet Chairman Gu that he couldn't stop smiling a day in advance."
The information Gao Yi provided was very detailed. This person had served as an external director of Hongsheng Electronics for three terms, and when Gu Tingze was still alive, he had already received a lot of extra benefits.
However, Mr. Hu only has more than half a year left in his term, but he has already formally submitted his resignation, indicating that after this board meeting, he will not seek re-election and will retire early.
Qi Nuan also felt that this person should be quite loyal to the Gu family, and it might be difficult to win him over.
On the way to Mr. Hu's house, she even thought of a lot of reasons in her mind that could be used to persuade him.
But when Qi Nuan and Zhao Yu were warmly welcomed as guests by the host, Mr. Hu, she found that things were completely different from what she had imagined.
The old man seemed to have made preparations in advance. His wife, children and the elderly were all sent abroad, and only he and the servants were left in the huge villa.
Mr. Hu asked Qi Nuan and Zhao Yu to sit in the living room, while he went to the kitchen himself to urge someone to bring tea and snacks.
Zhao Yu stood behind Qi Nuan dutifully, acting as a bodyguard.
While waiting, Qi Nuan looked around at the decoration layout of Mr. Hu's house.
This is a two-story Western-style villa. The living room on the first floor is quite spacious, with two large wardrobes placed around it, and various anime figures displayed in the glass windows.
Qi Nuan guessed that maybe the child in this family was an anime fan, but she didn't expect that when Mr. Hu came back and saw her watching it seriously, he immediately asked her if she was a fellow anime fan.
Because she needed help from someone, Qi Nuan wanted to cater to the other person's interests. She said that she really liked anime and had followed many of the works displayed in the house.
It's just that she had strict parents when she was a child, and her parents arranged a lot of elite courses for her, so she didn't invest that much in her hobby of animation, which is not a lie.
Just the confirmation of his love for anime made Mr. Hu beam with joy, as if he had met a kindred spirit. He busied himself again, taking out a lot of extra figurines and peripherals to give to Qi Nuan, and even ran upstairs to get a cosplay costume that he had treasured for a long time and handed it to Qi Nuan.
"I was looking forward to it when I first met Mr. Qi that day. This suit will definitely suit you perfectly."
The old man, who is over fifty years old, had his eyes shining when he talked about asking Qi Nuan to cosplay.
Qi Nuan couldn't refuse, so she had to pick up the clothes and take a closer look.
A red skirt and a white cape? But, this red skirt has so little fabric, isn't it a bit too cool?
"This is my favorite outfit among the Empress's. I asked a friend in the fashion industry to have it custom-made for me. The quality is absolutely trustworthy. Mr. Qi, please feel free to wear it!"
The Pirate Queen? Anime beauties are indeed eye-catching in this outfit, but she...
Of course, Qi Nuan couldn't cosplay at Mr. Hu's house. She remembered that she was here to do serious business.
After politely thanking him, she said that she would definitely try on the beautiful dress when she got home later, but at the moment, she had something more important to discuss with Mr. Hu first.
The purpose was put forward so directly that Mr. Hu did not want to interrupt. He sat down aside, picked up the tea and took a few sips.
Qi Nuan observed his actions and waited quietly. She was surprised to see that this not-so-old man had already started to tremble in his hands.
"I just care about you. Please forgive me if I offend you."
She looked at Mr. Hu, apologized first, and then looked at his hands that were still shaking as he held the cup: "Mr. Hu, did you also take illegal drugs?"
The old man paused at first, then became angry and slammed the quilt on the table with a bang.
"That kid from the Gu family is simply outrageous!"
Anger made him tremble even more violently, and his subsequent series of accusations against Gu Hui also allowed Qi Nuan to understand the details of the whole incident.
It turned out that after Gu Tingze passed away, Gu Hui knew that his weight in the board of directors was still far from enough, so he came up with those crooked tricks to control these old men whose words carried more weight.
