Admittedly, men and women always think differently. In their eyes, it's just a matter of sleeping with someone for one night and getting hundreds of millions. This deal is too good to be true. They never put themselves in Ji Yao's shoes to consider this issue from her perspective.
And they still have to stand there and pretend to agree.
"That Mr. Zhang really went too far!"
"Exactly! That's incredibly disrespectful!"
"..."
Ji Yao could guess pretty much what they were thinking, but she was too lazy to call them out on it.
After all, they're all from the same company, and they'll run into each other all the time. If she offends them all, Ji Yao will really have a hard time moving forward. So she wants to take it slow, as long as they don't cross her bottom line. And this time, she'll just root out all the bad apples in the company all at once!
So when they pretended to be indignant and berated that General Manager Zhang, Ji Yao didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. She simply rested her chin on one hand and listened absentmindedly to their act.
"Have you finished cursing?" After a few minutes, Ji Yao played with her fingernails for a while before asking casually.
"..." Ji Yao's appearance made those directors who were putting on an act and cursing her so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
Listen to this! All these people are standing up for her, and she just casually asks such a question! It's infuriating! It's so obnoxious!
Isn't that just too annoying?
If it weren't for the fact that hitting someone would be so beneath their dignity, they would have rushed up and ganged up on her long ago.
"Hehe." Ji Yao glanced at the people who had been cursing the most earlier with an ambiguous expression, and chuckled twice. She knew that what they really wanted to curse was herself, but so what?
"I am aware of the indignation in the hearts of all you uncles and elders. I thank you for your help today. When my father wakes up, I will make sure he personally thanks everyone present."
"...No need, no need." When those people saw Ji Yao thanking them, their eyelids twitched in unison, and they all thought to themselves: This is like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, it's not like they have any good intentions.
Her words didn't sound like gratitude at all; they sounded more like veiled sarcasm!
Furthermore, they gleaned a piece of information from Ji Yao's words: Ji Yao's father, their chairman, was very likely about to wake up.
Because if it weren't for this, Ji Yao, a young woman who had just entered the workforce, wouldn't have been able to so calmly embarrass President Zhang.
Ji Fu was their pillar of support. After all, he had turned the tide for the Ji family time and time again when they faced dangers. So in their eyes, Ji Fu was like a god. As long as he returned, the company would naturally be safe.
Ji Yao naturally had no idea that her casual remark had led them to imagine so many things.
Even the original idea of dismissing her was abandoned and shelved.
“You’re right, the newcomers these days are indeed arrogant. But don’t forget, I’m still surnamed Ji. Even though my father is currently recuperating in the hospital, he will naturally come back to take over the company once he wakes up. I think we can make a comeback then.” Ji Yao smiled generously and calmly. “I don’t think it should be too difficult. What do you all think?”
"Things in the business world are unpredictable. If we decide on a death sentence now, and if my father and I are fortunate enough to turn the tables someday, I'd like to know how you'll face us then. Will you never see us again, or will you never cooperate with us again?"
“Young people shouldn’t be so arrogant.” The older director, who had been silent until now, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. After about twenty seconds, he calmly opened his eyes. “But it is indeed very good that young people have drive. I still appreciate that.”
Ji Yao knew that this was the real key point. As long as she could get his consent, she would hardly need to care about anyone else, because he was the largest shareholder besides her father. Director Yan not only held the largest share in the company, but also owned his own company. There were no other shareholders; he was the only one who could make it big.
Moreover, his company is doing better and better these days, and if she could gain his support, she would have more say in the company.
Ji Yao had many thoughts in her mind, but she showed no emotion on her face and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "You flatter me."
Director Yan smiled meaningfully, his voice carrying a subtle but palpable air of authority, "While I admire your drive and composure, my niece never majored in finance during her school years, and you have no prior experience with the company's business. Why should we trust you?"
His judgment was always sharp and never wrong. He believed that given time, this little girl would surely soar to great heights with unstoppable momentum.
only…
He didn't want her to collapse before that, after all, there are quite a few girls in this industry who originally seemed to have great potential, but in the end, for various reasons, they were all hit so hard that they could never get back up.
He needed an attitude, and a reason to risk everything he had for it...
"That's right, that's right, all of this is real gold and silver."
“Exactly, you have to sing even better than that, and you’re guaranteed to make 2 billion in profit in six months. Why should we believe you?” If it were her father, they would have nothing to say and could take a gamble.
But why should they trust a naive young woman? If they say something wrong, where will they get it back? She's so shrewd!
It's easy for them to stand there and not feel the pain. They just draw up a big picture for them, trying to get something for nothing. Do they really think they're stupid?
