Chapter 151 Signing a Military Order
Shi Yuanxing stared directly at the director who had spoken until the other party couldn't take it anymore, then said in a low voice, "I had no idea that President Xu was so interested in the private affairs of my wife and me?"
Mr. Xu choked for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Shi Yuanxing sneer in public, "So it seems Mr. Xu has a lot of free time, so much so that he has to investigate my wife and my love history. Tell me, what else did you find out?"
Mr. Xu blushed with embarrassment, and his voice was a little weak, "No, Mr. Xiao, you misunderstood. I, I only heard about it."
"I heard? Who told you?" Shi Yuanxing glared at him coldly, showing no respect whatsoever, and bombarded him with questions.
"I don't think I'm close enough to discuss my personal matters with you, so it was this Mr. Shen you mentioned who told you that you're very close to him?"
"This, how could this be?" President Xu quickly denied, startled. "How could I possibly have a personal relationship with the president of Shen's Group?"
He had seen Shi Qingman confront Shi Yuanxing several times before without retaliating, which is why he dared to provoke him so boldly. He never expected Shi Yuanxing to be so ruthless as to put him on the spot.
Now, he himself had become the one who had been publicly humiliated.
Seeing the awkward situation, Shi Hongzhen coughed lightly and tried to smooth things over, saying, "We've gone off-topic. We're discussing cooperation with Shengrui now."
The other directors quickly chimed in to ease the tension, saying, "Yes, yes, the focus of our discussion is on the cooperation."
"Tsk, Lao Xu, what are you doing? Hurry up and apologize to Boss Xiao."
Mr. Xu glanced at Shi Yuanxing, whose face was cold and sullen, and could only say in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, I misspoke just now."
Shi Yuanxing didn't respond, and didn't even glance at him again out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing his reaction, Shi Hongzhen had no choice but to steer the conversation back to the main topic.
"If I hand over Xingwei to you, are you confident you can defeat the Shen family and take over Shengrui?"
"First of all, I want to reiterate that the starting point of my proposal is based on the development and interests of the group."
"Of course, I came up with the plan, so I naturally have to give everyone a statement."
After Shi Yuanxing finished speaking, his calm eyes swept over everyone. When his gaze fell on President Xu, he lingered for a few seconds until the other man avoided his gaze. Only then did he look away and turn to Shi Hongzhen at the head of the table.
"I here today, in front of all of you, make a solemn pledge: if I lose to the Shen family and fail to secure the cooperation with Shengrui, I will resign."
Upon hearing this, not only were the others present taken aback, but even Shi Hongzhen's expression changed.
Qiao Wenbo suddenly cast a surprised and unexpected glance at Shi Yuanxing.
Shi Yuanxing paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at President Xu, "President Xu, are you satisfied with this?"
Mr. Xu was so frightened he almost fell off his chair.
Especially when he saw Shi Hongzhen's rarely dark face, he felt even more miserable.
He swore to God that he really didn't want to push someone's son to the point where he had to make a pledge.
"Mr. Xiao, you're joking. I was just worried about the group's interests and said it casually. I didn't mean anything by it. Please don't misunderstand."
He swallowed hard. "You, you don't have to do this."
“I always keep my word. Once I’ve said something, I will definitely keep it.”
Shi Yuanxing spoke calmly, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Shi Hongzhen.
All the other attendees turned to look at the person in the main seat, waiting for him to speak.
Shi Hongzhen was silent for a moment, then said, “Since you have such courage in your childhood and no one has any objections, I will hand over Xingwei to you.”
He looked at Shi Yuanxing and said, "I hope you will live up to everyone's expectations."
"must."
Shi Hongzhen: "Meeting adjourned."
After the meeting, Shi Yuanxing was called into the president's office.
With a "snap".
Shi Hongzhen slammed the folder he was holding onto the desk, turned around and looked at Shi Yuanxing with a stern gaze, reprimanding him:
"To argue with board members over a woman in front of so many company executives, especially in front of me, is simply outrageous."
Shi Yuanxing stood ramrod straight and said coldly, "He offended my wife with his words. I'm only letting it go because of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let it go so easily."
"You still want to do this?"
Shi Hongzhen glared angrily.
"The board members are your future supporters in securing your position in the group. By embarrassing them in front of everyone today, you are making enemies for yourself. What good will that do you in the future?"
Shi Yuanxing remained silent.
"And what's more, people say a few words to you, and you're already making grand promises and treating your career like a game? You're simply..."
Shi Hongzhen paced back and forth in front of his desk in anger before finally uttering a reprimand: "This is unbecoming."
Seeing that he was quite angry, Shi Yuanxing softened his tone, "Please don't be angry, I know how to behave."
"What sense of propriety do you have?"
Shi Hongzhen, who had just sat down, looked up at him and snorted, "I think you lose all sense of proportion and rationality every time it comes to her."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuanxing raised his eyes and looked at his father with a deep gaze. "Yes, I would compromise for her. Don't you know that very well?"
Meeting the slight mockery in his eyes, Shi Hongzhen was taken aback. After realizing something, he silently looked away.
After a moment, he spoke again, his tone softening.
"Fine, things are already like this. You'd better really be able to take down Shengrui."
He glanced at his son and said, "Otherwise... let's see how you handle this."
Shi Yuanxing said, "Don't worry, I will present you with the cooperation agreement with Shengrui."
Upon returning from the president's office, Shi Yuanxing immediately held a meeting with his team to readjust the details of the cooperation with Shengrui.
After the meeting ended, the attendees left one after another. Only after everyone, including Qiao Wenbo, had left did he look at Shi Yuanxing.
Shi Yuanxing looked at him. "Do you have something to say?"
Qiao Wenbo looked very worried. "Wasn't the pledge you made to the board of directors a bit too risky? What if..."
"What, do you lack confidence in our Starmicro products? Or is it..."
Shi Yuanxing stared into his eyes, "You don't have confidence in me?"
"That's not what I meant. I just felt... that what you did was a bit impulsive."
"If I don't do this, how can I give the board members enough confidence?"
Seeing that Qiao Wenbo remained silent, Shi Yuanxing stood up and said, "Alright, just do as I say."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left the meeting room.
As Qiao Wenbo watched his retreating figure, the worry and gentleness on his face gradually disappeared, and his gaze slowly darkened.
