Qiu Yun frowned. "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Now, besides them, who else would be willing to invest?
Furthermore, anyone with a modicum of business acumen understands that the Ji family is now like a knife pressed against their throat, and could be eliminated at any moment.
Ji Yao gave her a deep look, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. "You'll understand soon enough!"
Qiu Yun, “…”
She always thought she was smart enough, but after working for the general manager for less than a month, she felt like her brain wasn't working properly. Was she just too stupid?
It seems like their general manager speaks in a very cryptic way, always shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to understand her or guess what she's thinking...
...
The next day, in a large conference room in the Ji Building, there were about twenty people sitting in two rows, dressed in suits and ties, very neat and uniform.
However, upon closer listening, their content was not so uniform, and the atmosphere was extremely stiff.
"I don't have the confidence to hand over such a large company to a young girl," one director remarked with dissatisfaction.
You have to understand that she just entered the workforce and took over such a huge company. How could she possibly manage it?
If her father were watching over her, he wouldn't have anything to say, but now that her father is not at the company and the company is in the eye of the storm, how can they not be worried?
This was their life savings. Although they wouldn't have to sleep on the streets if the company was gone, who would be willing to let such a large sum of money go to waste?
"Normally we wouldn't say a word, but now... we can't even protect ourselves." So, wouldn't it be enough to just beg her to let them go?
Everyone thinks of self-preservation, and they were simply making the choice that any normal person would make!
"that is,"
"Yeah yeah."
Once someone takes the lead, most people become yes-men.
Ji Yao had nothing on her hand, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly deep in thought.
From the start of the meeting until now, she has simply been resting her chin on her hand, looking somewhere with her eyes wandering and not settling on anything, seemingly absent-minded. It's unclear whether she has actually listened to what they were saying.
This was the first board meeting held by Ji Yao after taking over the Ji Group. Although her calm and composed expression showed no signs of nervousness, she even exuded a stronger aura than those veterans who had worked for more than ten years.
A single glance was enough to silence the chattering board members, who all turned to look at Ji Yao, who sat in the highest seat.
She wore a high ponytail and a very common black work uniform, yet she made it look extraordinary. She acted ruthlessly and efficiently, with a cold and indifferent gaze, giving people a calm and self-possessed feeling.
Judging from her appearance alone, Ji Yao is indeed a girl who can accept this position, and given time, she will surely achieve something.
But now, they simply can't wait any longer. After all, she's still just an inexperienced young woman, so they have to dismiss her as general manager.
Ji Yao wasn't angry at their attitude and let them continue their efforts to remove her from office.
But--
"I'm sorry, shareholders of the Ji family. I would like to express my apologies first. I know that most of you here already know about what happened yesterday."
"Most of the shareholders here today worked with my father to build this business. In a sense, you are all my elders, and I am just a junior. So I can consider all the suggestions you make..." but I just won't adopt them.
Ji Yao silently added this sentence in her heart, but she wouldn't say it out loud, after all, there was no need to offend everyone.
“I know what you’re thinking. You just think that if Mr. Zhang and the others withdraw their investment, the company might declare bankruptcy at any time.”
"But do you know why President Zhang wanted to withdraw his investment, and why I, Ji Yao, wanted to end our cooperation?" Ji Yao smiled nonchalantly, as if nothing could move her in the slightest.
Ji Yao looked at them calmly, "I won't hide it from you uncles and elders, it's because President Zhang asked me to sleep with him for one night."
For a moment, the huge office was silent except for someone who gasped at first, and then no one spoke or made a sound.
"What do you all think? Do you want Yao Yao to go with that Mr. Zhang? But do you know what? Mr. Zhang isn't just slapping Ji Yao in the face, he's slapping the face of the entire Ji family, everyone in the face."
"So, I ended our cooperation with President Zhang and his team ahead of schedule. After all, even just looking at someone like that makes me feel disgusted. I believe everyone here feels the same way, right?" Ji Yao gave them a forced smile, the upward curve of which seemed to be mocking them.
Really? Of course not!
Even though they thought this in their hearts, no one dared to say it out loud. After all, Ji Yao's father was still alive. As long as he was alive, they couldn't say such things so openly.
And then…
No one dared to offer their help. How could you refuse him? Such a good deal should naturally be agreed to. Although everyone thought the same thing, no one was willing to step forward, because once they did, it would be clear that they had a problem with their character!
At their age, how many people are shameless? And how many don't want a good reputation? So even if they secretly wished they could tie Ji Yao up and throw her onto that CEO Zhang's bed right away, they wouldn't show it so directly.
