After Li Yuqiu finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and was about to make a call.
Dong Qingzhen couldn't do anything with his sister-in-law. He looked at his wife, as if to say, "You should try to persuade her. This is getting out of hand."
Li Yuzhu understood her husband's meaning perfectly well. She said, "Sister, can we stop making a fuss?"
"Is this what you call making a scene? You're supposed to be a major shareholder, but what are you doing here? It's like Dong Qing built the whole company by himself; you haven't accomplished a single thing." Li Yuzhu paused for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, I don't want to embarrass you. What do you suggest we do about this?"
Dong Qing said, "Can you give me some time?"
Li Yuqiu said, "It's not that I didn't give you time. I discussed it with you a year ago, about having my sister serve as the company's vice chairman. Is a year a short time? How can you expect me to trust you? Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. Just thinking about what you've done makes me angry."
After Li Yuzhu finished speaking, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Fang Lin's home phone line.
Nowadays, all the company's senior executives have both external and internal telephone lines installed in their homes. Li Yuqiu really can't make internal calls like this. Sometimes the switchboard operator will eavesdrop, but even if they know, they don't dare to tell anyone. Of course, it's better not to let them know.
She said, "Secretary Fang, you're not an outsider, so let me be frank with you. You know how much my sister has done for the company and how much she's worried about. Now, the company's senior management are all given cars, but she doesn't even qualify for one."
"Immediately notify shareholder Li Churan to hold a board meeting at 9:00 AM tomorrow. Afterward, go to Vice General Manager Gu Yurou's house and ask her to propose electing a vice chairman from among the three shareholders at the board meeting tomorrow morning. I'm entrusting this matter to you."
Why didn't Li Yuqiu let Gu Yurou directly propose that her sister be appointed as the vice chairman? Doing so would have been too blunt.
Actually, as long as someone makes a suggestion, that's fine. Li Yuzhu and her husband have the same number of shares, so no matter what suggestion they make, she will be the vice chairman; it's just a different way of saying it.
Fang Lin said, "I've had this idea for a while, but as a secretary, I don't have that authority. Don't worry, I'll definitely handle things to your satisfaction."
Fang Lin and Dong Qing were sworn brothers. With Li Yuqiu's words, she really didn't need to ask Dong Qing for permission. She understood even better that her sister-in-law was throwing a tantrum.
But she didn't care about any of that; as long as Li Yuqiu was involved, she was willing to do anything.
Fang Lin was pretending to be confused at this moment, and she preferred to pretend to be confused because she also longed for Li Yuzhu to become the company's vice chairman. If they had the same idea, they would agree immediately, and she would never call Dong Qing to ask for his permission.
After Li Yuqiu ended the call with Fang Lin, Li Yuzhu said, "Yuqiu, is it worth making such a fuss over a car?"
Li Yuqiu said, “How is it not worth it? You and my brother-in-law both know my personality. I never fight for anything. But what my brother-in-law did really disappointed me. Putting aside how much you contributed to the company in the past, have you done less work for the company now? Why don’t you even qualify for a car provided by the company?”
"I'm not fighting for a car for you, I'm fighting for your pride. If it were just about a car, I wouldn't say anything. I can afford a car for you right now."
Dong Qing was at a loss when faced with such a sister-in-law. He said, "Forget it, there's no point in saying anything now. The two people who should know probably already know."
To be honest, your sister is capable enough to be the vice chairman, but I haven't given her that position because I was afraid of gossip. Do whatever you want with her.
After hearing her brother-in-law's words, Li Yuqiu's anger subsided considerably. She said, "You're not completely hopeless."
My brother-in-law quickly cooked the meal and brought it to the table.
The kitchen wasn't far from the living room, so it was impossible for them not to hear their conversation. He said, "Brother-in-law, your second sister is doing the right thing. Let's just let things take their course, okay?"
Dong Qing said, "Okay, it's settled then."
When it comes to the board meeting tomorrow, Dongqing's three older sisters can't bring this up, and Fang Lin, as the chairman's secretary, doesn't have the right to make the suggestion. Only the deputy general manager, Gu Yurou, has the right to make this suggestion. Dongqing believes that Fang Lin will handle this matter well.
In a company, a major decision often requires a proposal from senior management or board members, or from the chairman, before a vote can be taken to approve it.
He could not recommend his wife to be the vice chairman, let alone his three older sisters, and even less so Dongqing.
Everything takes time, and the key is that someone has to bring it up at the board meeting; otherwise, Li Yuqiu wouldn't have let Fang Lin go directly to Gu Yurou.
After ending her call with Li Yuqiu, Fang Lin called shareholder Li Churan directly to inform her that the company would hold a board meeting at 9:00 a.m. the next day.
After Fang Lin ended her call with Li Churan, she handed her daughter to her husband.
The husband, who was already holding one daughter in his arms and another in his arms, asked, "Are you going out?"
Unlike Li Yuzhu, Fang Lin doesn't have a mother to help her take care of her children. Her mother-in-law is no longer alive, so she hires a nanny to take care of the children during the day. When the nanny goes home after get off work, the couple has to take care of the two children themselves at night.
Fang Lin said, "You stay home and take care of the child. I'm going out to run some errands and will be back in a bit."
After Fang Lin finished speaking, she went back to her bedroom to change into a dress, then turned around and walked out of the house downstairs.
After Fang Lin moved out of her home, she returned the key to Gu Yurou and walked to the door, raising her hand to knock.
After a long while, the door opened, and Gu Yurou, wearing pajamas, who must have been asleep, said, "Oh, it's you. Please come in."
Fang Lin followed Gu Yurou to the sofa and sat down. She asked, "You must have something to do coming over so late."
Fang Lin asked, "Sister Yu Rou, would you say we're best friends?"
Gu Yurou said, "Look at what you're saying. I've always considered you my own sister. Just tell me what's on your mind."
When two people meet in private, they never address each other by their job titles. This is a symbol of their relationship. If they are just colleagues, they will address each other by their job titles in any situation. Different ways of addressing each other indicate different levels of friendship.
If two people still address each other by their professional titles in private, it indicates that their relationship is not very good.
Fang Lin said, "Since you treat me like a sister, I won't beat around the bush. What I say only represents my own advice and not anyone else's. You are a veteran of our company, and you know best how our company started. Without the contributions of Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu, there would be no company like we are today."
I recommend that Li Yuzhu be appointed as the company's vice chairman. As the board secretary, I don't have that authority. I've already notified everyone; the board meeting will be held tomorrow, and I hope you can raise this matter at the board meeting.
Gu Yurou understood everything upon hearing this. She asked, "Sister, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just asking. Is it really your own idea?"
Fang Lin said, "Do you think someone else relayed this to me? It was my own idea. This doesn't involve anyone else. Just tell me, are you going to help me or not? If you're not, then I misjudged you. Just pretend I never came tonight."
