Chapter 156 How could cooperating with President Shen be anything but reluctant?
Shen Yichen looked at Shi Yuanxing with disdain and mockery in his eyes.
He thought that by relying on Xiao Zhi to make connections with Jing Muchi privately and by taking advantage of the Shi family's powerful internal resources, he could win.
Ha, how ridiculous.
“If Xiao Shi feels it’s not appropriate, there’s no need to force it.” Shen Yichen’s lips curled into a sneer. “So that when we get back, it won’t be easy to explain to President Shi.”
This is meant to satirize him for not being able to handle things independently, for not being able to do things well, and for expecting to be scolded by his father when he gets back.
Shi Yuanxing understood, but only smiled slightly, "How could cooperating with President Shen be forced?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jing Muchi, who was sneezing up at the top, and said, "I approve of this shareholding percentage and agree to cooperate."
"Okay, so what does Mr. Shen mean?"
Jing Muchi looked at Shen Yichen.
Shen Yichen: "I agree too."
"Alright, since neither of you has any objections, let's sign this letter of intent today."
Jing Muchi said, "As for the details of the cooperation, we will discuss them one by one later, and then we will formally sign the contract after everything is settled."

afternoon.
The letter of intent signed with Shengrui appeared at a high-level meeting of the Shi Group.
At the meeting, Shi Yuanxing personally presented a report on the cooperation for this project. After explaining the cooperation in detail, he paused, and then said to everyone:
"It is my fault that this collaboration failed to secure the largest share for the company."
He looked around at everyone, his attitude serious, and his voice clear: "I made a pledge before you all before, and you can rest assured that I will keep my promise and give you an explanation for today's result."
After he finished speaking, the large conference room fell silent.
Seeing Shi Hongzhen sitting in the main seat remain silent, none of the directors below dared to be the first to speak up and express their opinions.
Especially Mr. Xu, who at this moment wished he could disappear.
Because of his provocative and sarcastic remarks that day, Shi Yuanxing made a pledge.
Now that the Shi family has lost to the Shen family, it's as if the Shi family is the one who forced Shi Yuanxing to leave.
Looking at the gloomy face of the man's father in the main seat, Mr. Xu felt like he was the one who had stuck his neck out.
In the ensuing silence, Shi Hongzhen finally spoke in a deep voice:
"Thanks to the hard work of Mr. Xiao and his team, we have finally reached a cooperation agreement with Shengrui and successfully established a strategic partnership between our Xingwei products and Shengrui. This is a good thing."
He said, "First of all, on behalf of the company, I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations to Mr. Xiao."
Upon hearing his affirmation of Shi Yuanxing, the other directors quickly applauded and expressed their agreement.
After the applause stopped, Shi Hongzhen's expression became more serious. "But in this cooperation, we only hold 25%, while the Shen Group holds 30%."
He paused for a moment, glanced at Shi Yuanxing, and then continued, "Xiao Shi made a pledge before, saying that if he lost to the Shen family and failed to secure the cooperation with Shengrui, he would resign. That is also true."
First, he publicly acknowledged Shi Yuanxing's achievement in securing the cooperation, and only then did he mention the military order. Moreover, he emphasized that he resigned only after simultaneously meeting the two conditions of "losing to the Shen family and failing to secure the cooperation." Isn't this clearly showing that he doesn't want his son to resign?
Each of the board members is a shrewd individual; how could they not guess the president's intentions?
So everyone started offering Shi Hongzhen a way out—
"Since Mr. Xiao has secured the cooperation, then our Shi Group has not lost."
"Yes, and Xiao Shi also promoted our Xingwei, so the good and bad are already balanced."
"That's right, this pledge can only be considered a draw."
"I think this is a great achievement in the long run for Starmicro. Xiao Shi is always a hero, so he can't resign."
...
Everyone was speaking well of Shi Yuanxing, and Shi Hongzhen's expression softened slightly, but he still maintained his CEO demeanor, sternly criticizing Shi Yuanxing for a few moments before finally saying:
"Although you secured the cooperation, you still couldn't beat the Shen family. Even if the board members plead for you, you still have to take responsibility for what you said."
He looked at Shi Yuanxing sternly and said, "You made this pledge yourself, so the company has a responsibility to punish you accordingly."
Shi Yuanxing looked up at the head of the table and saw Shi Hongzhen announce to everyone, "After the cooperation with Shengrui is officially signed, Shi Yuanxing will be removed from the position of CFO as punishment for his dereliction of duty in this work."
"Does anyone have any objections to this punishment?"
When Shi Hongzhen said this, his gaze lingered on President Xu, which startled President Xu so much that he quickly said loudly, "No objection."
Everyone else also said they had no objections.
"Okay, then let's leave it at that."
After Shi Hongzhen finished speaking, he looked at Shi Yuanxing and said, "Once the cooperation is officially signed, you will step down from the project. There is currently a vacancy for the position of domestic market director, so you will temporarily take over the position."
Shi Yuanxing looked at his father and smiled bitterly to himself.
Even if it means demoting him, they still want to keep him. It seems his father is unwilling to let him go.
Before he could respond, Shi Hongzhen frowned. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Shi Yuanxing replied, "No, I'll do whatever you say."

night.
Upon hearing this result, Qin Shuzhi almost jumped out of bed in a panic.
"how so?"
She stared wide-eyed at the man leaning against the bed, looking completely at ease. "Why did you make Shen Yichen's share larger than Shi's?"
He even made a solemn pledge in front of the company's senior management before, isn't he just embarrassing himself in public?
Shi Yuanxing smiled and said, "If I don't lose, how can I extricate myself from this project and let Qiao Wenbo get involved?"
He withdrew from the project, so the project leader will definitely fall to Qiao Wenbo, who is most familiar with the project.
At that time, Qiao Wenbo will be the highest person in charge of this project, and he will no longer be the chief financial officer. Therefore, Qiao Wenbo will naturally have no worries about what he wants to do.
Qin Shuzhi tilted his head and thought for a while before understanding his intention.
"Are you deliberately praising yourself to the point of self-destruction, so that you can extricate yourself from this incident while making Qiao Wenbo feel that you have lost your threat? In this way, if he really dares to tamper with the project or falsify accounts, as long as Jing Muchi's hidden eyes are watching for you, everything will be under your control?"
Even Shen Yichen was just one link in his plan.
Shi Yuanxing patted her face approvingly, "My wife is so smart."
His original intention was to take this opportunity to leave the group, but he underestimated his father's persistence.
"The method is good, but you've lost face in public like this. Won't that be very embarrassing in front of the company and the higher-ups?"
Qin Shuzhi looked at him with worry and heartache, "You've sacrificed too much."
Shi Yuanxing said, "If we don't do this, how can we get the cautious Qiao Wenbo to lower his guard?"
Qin Shuzhi thought about it and realized that in Qiao Wenbo's eyes, Shi Yuanxing was now vying for the position of successor. How could he have imagined that Shi Yuanxing would give up his important position in the company in order to lure him into the game?
He would never have imagined that Sheng Rui was Shi Yuanxing.
The president of Shengrui is his good brother.
