If it's a man saying he can't, that's one thing, but it's a woman saying "no" to a man.
Like a knife, it is deeply embedded in everyone's heart.
Originally, everyone was somewhat afraid of the Oriental Group, which was one of the top 100 companies in the country and one of the four long-established families.
But after Jiang Manyue's provocation, they were all filled with fighting spirit.
"Cough cough."
Lu Fan, who had been listening from the back, was surprised that his wife would use such a harsh approach right from the start, and he choked on his own saliva.
"Alright, since everyone is confident, let's have a good fight with the Oriental Group! Contact the companies we cooperate with right now to test their attitude. If there are any on their side, let's spread the word about our stance."
Seeing that everyone was now full of fighting spirit, Jiang Manyue nodded in satisfaction and then addressed everyone.
"Mr. Jiang, may I interrupt you for a moment?"
After Jiang Manyue finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
Only now did they realize that Jiang Manyue had tricked them.
Seeing that everyone was silent, one of the supervisors had no choice but to stand up and speak to Jiang Manyue, who was full of ambition.
“Say whatever you want. I already said at the beginning that I will not deprive you of your right to give your opinions.”
Jiang Manyue, sitting in the main seat, also noticed the solemn expressions on everyone's faces.
Looking at the person who stood up to speak, Jiang Manyue smiled and said to him.
"I am the head of the marketing department. Some time ago, Dongfang Group took action against us, blocking many of our material and resource channels, which also hit our cash flow. Fortunately, the company injected funds in time, which allowed us to get through this difficult time smoothly."
This person was the marketing manager. He first told everyone about what had happened a while ago. Everyone knew about it and nodded in agreement. Jiang Manyue and Lu Fan were also curious to know what he was going to say next.
"After we got through this difficult time, the Oriental Group didn't impose any sanctions on us, but I heard that they're planning something big. Right now, we're like a fist with all five fingers clenched trying to attack someone who's covered in armor. We have absolutely no chance of winning!"
The head of the marketing department also spoke his mind. Jiang Manyue, who had been listening, looked rather grim. No one present had expected the marketing department to be so formidable.
"Manager Gao, watch your words!"
Upon hearing the marketing manager say such a thing, Secretary Ge quickly intervened to stop him, as the two had a fairly good relationship in private.
"Don't speak, I want to hear what Manager Gao plans to do? It's clear they want to get us?"
Although Jiang Manyue was somewhat unhappy, she had already made her point and could freely express her thoughts, so she could only suppress her anger and stop Secretary Ge from continuing, still asking him with a smile on her face.
"President Jiang may have misunderstood me. I never said I wouldn't take action. The Dongfang family is definitely a leading player in the business world. Companies without the strength of the Dongfang family can only survive by relying on them. These people are no threat to us. Even if they join forces, they are just an elephant leading a swarm of flies."
Manager Gao noticed a hint of anger in Jiang Manyue's eyes, and then revealed his true thoughts.
"Tell me your thoughts?"
Lu Fan, however, had a feeling that this Chief Steward Gao must have some brilliant plan. How could someone he had transferred have already backed down before even starting? He was eager to know what the other party was going to say next.
"I know that you, Chairman, have a relationship with the eldest daughter of the Nangong family. She used to be the head of the company's human resources department. As long as we have the support of the Nangong family behind us, the Nangong family will be happy to see us get rid of the Dongfang family. They are not in this field at all, so these resources will eventually belong to us."
Manager Gao poured out all the ideas he had been researching for half a month.
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Manyue and Lu Fan, wanting to know if what he said was feasible.
"Chairman, the plan proposed by Manager Gao is good. If the Nangong family supports us, the Dongfang family is not worth mentioning at all. Go and talk to Nangong Qi about it."
Jiang Manyue was also interested in this plan and turned to Lu Fan to say it.
"However, his family hates me. It's already a miracle that they've kept Nangong Qi from ever seeing me again. Getting them to invest in us is simply impossible."
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Lu Fan whispered something in Jiang Manyue's ear.
"This is indeed a good solution for now. If it really doesn't work, we'll discuss something else."
Seeing Lu Fan's troubled expression, Jiang Manyue decided to give this plan a shot in the dark, thinking that she had to try everything and see if it would work.
"Alright, leave this matter to me."
Lu Fan then answered loudly. Just now, seeing Lu Fan whispering in Jiang Manyue's ear, everyone had been wondering about it. Now, hearing Lu Fan's words, everyone's faces lit up with smiles.
"We must not let our guard down. We are not only being targeted by the Oriental Group, but I have also received confirmation that Liu Shang, the chairman of Shanggong Group, has reached some kind of cooperative relationship with the Oriental Group. So we must not only be careful of outsiders, but also be careful of the companies that cooperate with us."
Knowing what had happened, Jiang Manyue did not show any joy on her face. Instead, she spoke to everyone with a serious expression.
"Shanggong Group?"
"Didn't we invest in them not long ago?"
"The bidding agency, didn't the chairman personally go to bid?"
Everyone was prepared for the Dongfang family's targeting of Jingrui, because the other party had already made their move.
Upon hearing Jiang Manyue's words, everyone looked at her with surprise and asked her a question.
"There's nothing surprising about it. Cooperation is based on mutual benefit. The Oriental Group offers more, which is why our partners are turning away from us."
“If we had laid a solid foundation long ago, this wouldn’t have happened. Even those of you here might have been bribed by the Dongfang family.”
"But I believe none of you will betray the Jiang Group, because this is where you once shed your sweat."
Jiang Manyue realized that someone in the company must have connections with the Dongfang family, and then she solemnly addressed everyone.
