Chapter 36 With just one word from her, Xi Yimiao was transformed from a president to an employee on probation.
This was the system's voice, but it only had these few words, and they were intermittent, as if it was struggling to speak.
confrontation……
Du Wanwan suddenly understood why her system hadn't appeared during this period. Was it because she lost the fight and was pinned down by her opponent, unable to speak?
The rival of her system is the male protagonist's system... or rather, the harem system?
And now that Ding Zhiyuan has been captured, has the harem system changed its host?
And you came to her house?
Du Wanwan wanted to take a good look at who the harem system had replaced for her.
At this moment, a tall figure walked in. The man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips and white teeth. At first glance, he was very handsome. But for some reason, the three words "tall", "thick eyebrows, big eyes" and "red lips and white teeth" mixed together had a subtle sense of disharmony.
This reminded Du Wanwan of her own stubborn behavior when playing online games - she clearly had no artistic talent, but she insisted on making the character's face by herself. In the end, she made a person who looked okay at first glance, but was actually ugly with disproportionate proportions and incompatible style.
Is this the character chosen by the harem system? It's quite different from Ding Zhiyuan's style. Ding Zhiyuan at least looks respectable, but he's actually quite vulgar. This one before me... maybe this is what the male-oriented system considers a "Pan An" (likely a handsome man).
Du Wanwan looked around: "Who is this...?"
Pei Xingyao was right behind her, and he noticed her attention was drawn to the sound. He was about to speak when the young man heard him and turned his gaze to Du Wanwan.
Du Wanwan, I attracted your attention as soon as I appeared?
Sure enough, when dealing with women, you still have to rely on her face first.
The man didn't answer immediately. He slowly sat down on a chair in the conference room, crossed one leg, and rested his right arm on the table, supporting his cheek as he looked at Du Wanwan. Then, he raised the left corner of his mouth in a smile, and across the entire conference table, he raised an eyebrow at Du Wanwan.
"Is this our beautiful chairman? I've heard a lot about you. I'm Xi Yimiao, the president of G-Light Entertainment, and also a director."
"Personnel changes?" Du Wanwan's expression turned colder. "How come I, the chairman, don't know about this?"
The president of Runjia Entertainment Group explained: "Oh, it's us..."
Before she could finish her words, Du Wanwan waved her hand and said coldly, "It's not the main topic of today's meeting. Let's talk about it later. Time's up."
Runjia Group comprises five major business units: entertainment, logistics, metaphysical technology, real estate, and network technology. Each unit comprises subsidiaries of varying sizes. Runjia Entertainment, one of these five units, has a CEO who is a top executive. Within the Runjia Group, aside from a few other CEOs and directors of the same rank, only Du Jingyuan dares to interrupt him.
Although Du Wanwan is the heir of Du Jingyuan, she is just a little girl.
The president of Runjia Entertainment's face visibly darkened.
Du Wanwan naturally saw it, and spoke in a gentler voice, "Today is a large meeting for all the company and senior management. It's a very important and serious occasion. It's not like when a subsidiary general manager comes to the group headquarters for a meeting and meets the chairman, he has to kowtow three times and nine times like an ancient local official reporting to the capital. But at least it's a meeting, and the atmosphere and process should be more formal, right?"
On the surface, this was an explanation for why she interrupted the president of Runjia Entertainment, but in fact, everyone could hear that she was alluding to Xi Yimiao.
Many people present knew how Xi Yimiao came to be, but no one knew whether Du Wanwan knew about it. However, anyone with eyes could see that Xi Yimiao had a prominent background, so no one took him seriously.
Otherwise, Runjia Group has sub-groups below it, and each sub-group has its own company. The general manager of a company is coming to the group headquarters for a meeting. It's such an important occasion, and it's his first time there. Shouldn't he at least wear his badge? If he doesn't have one, should he at least come in and take his seat?
Even if we take a step back and say this is a young man taking on a big responsibility for the first time, he doesn't know anything, but the chairman said he's ready for a meeting, so why not sit still? Sitting twisted in three places like this, is he thinking he's going to a bar?
The chairs in the conference room are all made of solid wood. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for him to sit like this?
Xi Yimiao's behavior is really... No wonder the chairman gave him a subtle warning.
Everyone in the conference room seemed to be looking down at their tablets, computers, and materials, but they were actually looking at Xi Yimiao. Some people, who were easily embarrassed by others, were almost suffering from embarrassment.
Even the president of Runjia Entertainment had a cold expression on his face, showing some embarrassment and disappointment.
Du Wanwan seemed not to notice and repeated, "Time's up."
This meant the meeting was about to begin. Everyone stopped what they were doing, fingers on the keyboard or holding a stylus, eyes looking at Du Wanwan. Only Xi Yimiao still supported himself with his hand, watching with a smile, and occasionally turning his pen.
Dong Shuqing, the secretary of the Secretary General's Office, couldn't stand it any longer and reminded him, "Manager Xi, the meeting is about to begin."
Xi Yimiao looked around and sat up straight, but his eyes still glanced at Du Wanwan from time to time. He looked at her unscrupulously at first, but when he cast a joking glance at her for the third time, he felt as if he had been frozen by ice.
The assistant beside Du Wanwan cast a cold, stern look at her. Xi Yimiao's heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily looked away. He wanted to look again, but he didn't dare.
Finally, I looked down at the tablet properly.
Pei Xingyao was finally satisfied. He sat down next to Du Wanwan, adjusted the position of the microphone, and said, "President Du is not feeling well, so I will be chairing this meeting. First, let's proceed to the first item of the meeting. The notice sent to everyone yesterday stated that Song Yuhao has violated the criminal law and his behavior is egregious. He is no longer suitable to serve as a director of the group. President Du recommends that Song Yuhao's board seat be revoked. Now, the board of directors will begin the vote."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised his hand.
Pei Xingyao raised his hand: "What does Vice President Jia have to say?"
"Hello, Chairman. I'm Jia Xuqing, a member of the board of directors. What do you plan to do with the 5% of the company shares held by Song Yuhao?"
Given that Song Yuhao has violated the law, the company can actually forcibly repurchase his shares, or it can send a lawyer to negotiate with Song Yuhao and ask him to sell his shares.
"This..." Du Wanwan said awkwardly, "Song Yuhao holds 5% of the shares, making him the company's second-largest shareholder. It's not a small amount. I think how to deal with it is not something I can decide alone. The board of directors needs to discuss it together."
This answer made the board of directors and senior executives all worried.
Runjia Investment was founded by Du Jingyuan's grandfather. In addition to the Du family, the Song and Meng families, who were related by marriage, also contributed modest amounts. Ultimately, the three families held a 5% stake, based on their respective contributions, with the Song family holding 5% and the Meng family 3%, a position passed down through generations.
When it was first founded, Runjia was just a hobby company, holding a 5% stake, and its dividends were barely enough for a wealthy family to buy a platinum bag. But under Du Jingyuan's leadership, Runjia flourished. He focused on metaphysics and high-tech, continuously attracting talent. He gave 7% of his own shares to the technical backbones of seven subsidiaries, giving each of them 1% of the shares. This generous dividend paid out was enough to retain this talent and develop the business into the current empire.
Ultimately, thanks to Du Jingyuan's efforts, the Du family became a 900 billion yuan tycoon, and Runjia's shares also saw a surge in value. Based on the current market value, 1% of Runjia's shares is worth over 5 billion yuan, and the annual dividends are quite substantial.
Song Yuhao has three sons. Although none of them are good-for-nothings, each has his own incompetence. They indulge in drinking, whoring, gambling, and are only one step away from possessing all five vices. But if it weren't for what happened last night, this 5% would have been passed on to his three sons.
When the police report came out last night, Song Yuhao's three sons called around for help, hoping that the senior management would help the Song family fight for the 5% stake at the board meeting. The Meng family and several senior executives listened to the talk, but they all thought that with Du Wanwan's ruthless personality, she would probably swallow up the 5% stake.
Unexpectedly...
The third-largest shareholder, Meng Qian, asked in surprise, "Why? The company isn't planning to force a share repurchase? I remember the shareholders signed a contract when they bought shares. If a director commits a criminal offense, the company can force a share repurchase."
"Yes." Du Wanwan said with a simple move, "But after the company repurchases the shares, who will own them? That's a problem. The Du family already holds 85% of the shares, and any more would be inappropriate. I personally don't want the Du family to hold this 5%. Before coming here, I spoke with Vice President Wei on the phone. Our opinion is that we can temporarily force the repurchase of this 5% of shares according to the contract, but how to deal with it later... well..."
She tapped the tablet screen with the stylus in front of her and said with a smile, "It would be best if someone in the company subscribes. If no one subscribes, how about a public auction?"
She doesn't plan to hold onto this 5% stake, but instead plans to buy it back first and then bid? Doesn't this mean that outside companies also have a chance?
So... many people present were excited and came up with countless ideas. For a moment, Du Wanwan's words were approved by almost all the directors.
"I agree."
"Boss Du is still young and wise."
"Mr. Du may be young, but he has a broad mind and a big vision!"
"That's the tentative disposal of the 5% stake. We'll issue the official documents later." Du Wanwan asked with a smile, "Can we vote now? Should we force a buyback of Song Yuhao's shares?"
Of course, all the directors who had made up their minds agreed. The board office took out the document and all the directors signed it.
"Okay, let's move on to the second item of the meeting." After the secretary's office put the documents away, Pei Xingyao's cold voice rang out again. "Vice President Wei Nanrong will give a report on last month's work. Since President Du was on vacation the month before last, President Wei will also give a briefing."
For the past two months, Du Wanwan had retreated from the spotlight, using the excuse of recuperation. While conducting her own investigation, she had Wei Nanrong review the company's affairs. As a parachuted-in vice president, Wei Nanrong was well aware of the dissatisfaction among some, and Du Wanwan and he naturally wouldn't raise it in the meeting. Wei Nanrong had already privately reported everything that needed to be reported to Du Wanwan.
Now, when we have a meeting, we are really summarizing our work.
Runjia is a business empire, and the work report for two months is long and boring, making Xi Yimiao yawn continuously.
More than half an hour later, it was almost ten o'clock when Wei Nanrong finally said his closing remarks: "...My report is complete. Thank you everyone."
There was orderly applause at the scene. As usual, the meeting would have been adjourned by this time. Everyone was also ready to adjourn. Only then did Du Wanwan ask, "Okay, now you can talk."
She picked up the teacup, took a sip of the medicinal tea, and asked, "Why wasn't the personnel transfer reported to me?"
After an hour of being left alone, Runjia Entertainment CEO Yu Chong's temper and spirits were almost exhausted. He said coldly and lazily, "Mr. Du, I forgot to report to you that our group's two entertainment subsidiaries have recently replaced their general managers. You know, entertainment companies have to keep up with the times. Although our contracts say general manager, we've changed it to president on our business cards."
He finished speaking and sneered, "Didn't President Du tell our entertainment group about this parachuted-in personnel? That's right, Xi Yimiao is the newly appointed president of G-Light Entertainment. It's just a personnel adjustment for a small film and television production company under our entertainment division."
Du Wanwan hadn't wanted to make a fuss about Xi Yimiao suddenly becoming the president of G-light Entertainment. She'd used it as a springboard to bring up Yi Jiantai. But she wasn't happy with what Yu Chong, the president of Runjia Entertainment, said.
"Sigh... Mr. Yu, are you talking about Yi Jiantai? I'm wrong." Du Wanwan sighed and turned back to blame, "I asked you to send a personnel appointment and internship notice to the Human Resources Department and go through the procedures. You didn't do it?"
Pei Xingyao played along, bowing his head and admitting his mistake: "I didn't have time to send out the general notice, but Mr. Yi's personnel procedures have already been reported to the headquarters."
Why do they always get blamed? The HR director, overwhelmed, quickly replied, "Yes, a few days ago, President Du signed a personnel notice hiring Mr. Yi Jiantai as the General Manager of Lingyun Media, part of the entertainment division, for a six-month probationary period. We've already completed the formalities, and the notice of probation has also been copied to President Yu of the entertainment division..."
Yu Chong, president of Runjia Entertainment, looked even worse.
The HR department was in cahoots with Du Wanwan, weren't they just putting him on the spot? It turned out Yi Jiantai was indeed parachuted in, but an official one, with a formal probationary period?
He thought Yi Jiantai was the same as Xi Yimiao, and even brought Xi Yimiao to the meeting! Tsk, he usually didn't like to read the notification emails from headquarters, this habit needs to be changed.
If he had seen it earlier, he wouldn't have said anything about the change of general managers of the two companies. He originally thought that both of them were relatives, but now, compared to Yi Jiantai who had completed the paperwork, Xi Yimiao became the one who hadn't yet completed the job. Doesn't that mean...
"Boss Yu," Du Wanwan added with a smile, "How could you, a busy man like you, forget to report the personnel process to Xi Yimiao? HR department, don't forget to fill it in later."
Yu Chong was about to speak when Du Wanwan added, "HR Department, President Yu's status is different. He might forget, but you shouldn't. After the meeting, the first thing to do is to give Mr. Xi Yimiao a probationary contract. As for the duration...we won't offer any special treatment, just like Yi Jiantai, six months. I heard that G-Light and Lingyun are the two most loss-making entertainment companies under our group. Coincidentally, we have two new people here, so let's observe them together for six months."
At this point, she finally said her first words to Xi Yimiao: "Xi Yimiao, you were personally selected by President Yu. You must work hard in the next six months. Don't fail the assessment and embarrass President Yu."
With just one word from her, Xi Yimiao went from being the CEO to being a probationary employee, who might even fail the assessment. Furthermore, she became Yu Chong's person!
God damn, this person was personally chosen by Yu Chong!
Yu Chong's forehead was about to explode, but Xi Yimiao made a heart shape with his hands to Du Wanwan and said, "Boss Du, don't worry, how could I let such a beauty down?"
Damn beauty! Wouldn't it be better to say "Mr. Du" at this time? Saying "beauty" means Xi Yimiao himself admits that she is his!
Yu Chong immediately didn't want to say anything.
Only Xi Yimiao felt good.
Hehe~ Although the system reminded him that he couldn't see Du Wanwan's information, especially her favorability, but judging from the current situation, Du Wanwan seemed to admire him very much!
Later on, as long as he showed off his talent and revealed his romantic and uninhibited side, which girl wouldn't like a talented man? Wouldn't Du Wanwan's heart be easily won?
Xi Yimiao smiled triumphantly.
