She didn't believe that a person could change so much overnight, especially since he had a wife. Su Yourong grabbed her hair with her hands. For a woman who had been drifting for thirty years, her heart had been jolted by that moment.
If she hadn't suppressed it with the last shred of reason she had left, she would have loved to throw herself into his arms and be a peaceful, submissive woman.
The news about the big meeting was passed down yesterday, and everyone in the factory is talking about it. They can't find General Manager Liu, and they hear that the financing has completely disappeared.
Wang Youchao is still persisting. Yesterday, he contacted many people. His demands are to increase the salaries of the management team and double the year-end bonus, or else he will leave with them all.
Many people had their doubts, but they were all watching to see how things went. Who wouldn't like a pay raise? Besides, it wasn't just one person; there were so many people involved, so Lu Feng wouldn't dare fire them.
A warehouse was cleared out and used as a temporary meeting room. Tables and chairs were already set up, and people came one after another, standing in groups of three or five and whispering about recent events.
After chatting for a while, everyone felt that this was a win-win situation, and no one could lose out. They decided to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fuss, otherwise it would be difficult to organize something like this later.
As for being fired, they never even considered it.
"Hey! Hey! Hurry up and take your seats, the meeting is about to start, President Lu has arrived."
Wang Youchao strode in, followed by four others. He waved to the others as a greeting, while the remaining four seemed somewhat unsure of themselves.
"Mr. Wang, aren't our demands a bit excessive? How about we reduce them?"
"The five of us are all vice presidents, that's possible, but becoming partners, that's pretty much impossible!"
"That General Manager Liu is a real scoundrel. He boasted so much when he was making arrangements, but when people came back, he took care of him in no time."
“We can’t retreat now. I’m telling you, these people have to be tied to our warship, otherwise, that kid Lu Feng could wipe out all five of us,” Wang Youchao said in a deep voice.
The other four nodded in agreement. Things had come to this point, and they had no choice but to fight to the bitter end.
Lu Feng tidied up the documents at hand and ran into Gao Zhiwei on his way to the conference room. He asked, "Has President Li returned yet?"
"He arrived today, but he went back to his hometown!"
"Where's Big Head? Is he still there?"
"He's back at school, right? We were supposed to have him join us for a meeting today, but when I called, he said he was too busy with his studies!"
Lu Feng nodded and said, "We need to hurry up with the financing. Let's not go to Hong Kong. It's a mixed bag, and most people can't handle it. Let's find a few suitable companies in China!"
“I’ll learn from this experience and be more careful. Our shares are still in high demand in the market. We’ve been getting calls from all over the country inquiring about them these past few days.”
"Make sure to investigate thoroughly, don't let shell companies take advantage of us!" Lu Feng said as he entered the conference room.
The venue was already full of people, around two or three hundred. As the HR manager led the applause, sparse applause rang out.
Wang Youchao did not sit down, but stood in the first row, where a row of tables and microphones were placed. His seat was placed in the first row below, which made him unhappy.
Since they represent more than 1,500 management personnel, and since they're going to kowtow anyway, there's no way they'll back down on this kind of thing.
Lu Feng walked over and looked at Wang Youchao. He knew Wang Youchao's thoughts very well. Liu Zong's capital had already left, and he was like a fish out of water. He had no choice but to fight with his back against the current.
He was betting that Lu Feng wouldn't dare touch those 1,500 people.
"Alright, everyone's here. Now let's give a warm round of applause to welcome General Manager Gao to give his opening remarks."
Lu Feng sat down, pulled the microphone towards himself, and said, "Why aren't you five sitting? What are you doing standing there like telephone poles?"
Wang Youchao said in a deep voice, "As representatives of the management, we should be on equal footing with you. We choose to stand up and protest against your disregard for the management."
Gao Zhiwei was slightly annoyed and was about to speak when Lu Feng said directly, "Come on, invite these five gentlemen up and sit in my seat!"
There were only five tables upstairs. Lu Feng stood up and made way for him. Gao Zhiwei looked at Lu Feng with surprise. He knew Lu Feng quite well and had a bad feeling.
According to Gao Zhiwei's idea, the management team of 1,500 people should be distributed among various factories. They cannot be dealt with by force; they need to be gradually separated and then released. Now he feels that Lu Feng is taking a forceful approach!
