Seemingly influenced by Shu Yi's calm and composed demeanor, Song Yan also subconsciously relaxed his mindset.
Looking at the faint smile that lingered on her lips, Song Yan smiled and said, "The old man's decision to bring you back was truly prescient."
The smile on Shu Yi's lips deepened, and she turned to her female assistant, her tone relaxed: "Beautiful lady, have someone prepare another pot of coffee for me, and hurry up, I need to take the coffee to apologize to these shareholders."
A smart person can always figure out what Shuyi is going to do in the first instance.
Hearing the second young lady's almost teasing tone, she exchanged a glance with Song Yan, whose eyes were filled with admiration.
The female assistant smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Second Miss, I'll go and have someone prepare it right away."
...
Five minutes later.
Standing outside the conference room, Shu Yi straightened her clothes and took the coffee pot that was steaming.
She took a deep breath, turned her head to signal to her assistant that they didn't need to open the door for her, and then knocked on the door with her fingers.
Then, she pushed the door open with one hand and slowly entered.
Inside the meeting room.
There were seven shareholders in total.
Judging from their unfamiliar faces, it seemed that none of them had attended the party that night.
They were scattered and sat in different parts of the conference room.
Perhaps because they had waited for too long, some shareholders already had obvious anger on their faces.
Upon seeing someone carrying coffee push open the door and enter the conference room, one of them slapped the table beside him.
"Why are you even bringing coffee now! The second young lady of the Shu family is really something else! Such an air of importance! Does she know how busy we are?"
The other person was quite cultured, but their words were still somewhat offensive.
"Young lady, how much longer are we going to have to wait? Where is the second young lady? If the old man weren't still asleep, I would really like to call and ask. How come this granddaughter of the Shu family is less sensible than an outsider?"
Two people spoke up first, and the others also began to feel indignant.
"Stop pouring me coffee, go ask your vice president what this second young lady is up to."
"We've waited for half an hour. Do you know how precious time is? Do you think we want to waste our time here with you?"
After listening to everything in silence, Shu Yi gestured to her assistant behind her to close the conference room door and then walked to the nearest seat.
She respectfully lowered her eyes and poured a cup of coffee for the other person, then continued to do so. Only after pouring coffee for all six people present did she walk to the head seat of the conference room.
Shu Yi put down the coffee pot, bowed respectfully, and looked up, smiling as she surveyed everyone.
"I'm sorry, everyone."
"I am Shu Yi, the granddaughter of Shu Qiyi."
“I know you don’t want to hear my reasons for being late, but considering the future of the company and all its employees, as well as the basic rules a company should have, I still want to explain.”
“On my way here, I took a look around the employee area and found that there was workplace bullying in our company. Based on some employees’ feedback, I guess this phenomenon has been going on for a long time.”
"For the sake of the reputation of our Shu Group, I must fulfill my duty as a member of the Shu family."
"Therefore, dealing with this matter has taken up a lot of time, and I hope you will not take offense."
Taken aback by Shu Yi's composed and confident attitude, he listened as she preemptively delivered a long and reasonable explanation.
One shareholder subconsciously raised the coffee cup beside him.
Seeing that the coffee had finally been served, Shu Yi changed her tone and explained with a smile.
"I brought this coffee to apologize to you all because I was worried that you elders would be angry."
"I hope you won't mind, since this is my first time. Although my grandfather taught me a lot, there are always things that don't go as planned, so please be understanding."
She showed no emotion whatsoever after hearing the angry remarks of the others.
He humbled himself and poured coffee for everyone, then gave a reasonable explanation for why he was late.
Now they're resorting to emotional appeals again, even bringing up the powerful figure of Grandpa Shu.
This little girl is indeed a descendant of the Shu family.
Upon hearing this, the shareholders' pent-up anger immediately dissipated, and they all picked up their coffees.
From the moment Shu Yi entered, Dong Nanliang, who had met her at the party, was in a corner making a phone call.
Returning to his seat, seeing the girl's unfazed demeanor, Dong Nanliang said, "She really is Shu Yishi's daughter. The old man truly had foresight in bringing such a remarkable person as the Second Miss home."
When Dong Nanliang spoke, Shu Yi finally noticed the uncle she had met once before.
"Uncle Dong, you flatter me. Your daughter has made her business very successful, which must be due to your excellent upbringing. My grandfather always tells me to learn from her," Shu Yi replied politely.
As the saying goes, to strike a snake, strike its vital spot; to capture a thief, first capture the king.
Once you've established a good rapport with familiar faces, there will be no barriers in subsequent interactions.
As a doting father, Dong Nanliang loves nothing more than hearing others praise his daughter.
Seeing Dong Nanliang pick up his coffee cup and nod at her, catching the deep admiration in his eyes, Shu Yi politely nodded in response.
Then, she stated seriously that the company does not currently need to re-elect a new board of directors.
Upon hearing the opinion, Dong Nanliang was the first to speak up and refute it.
“Girl, I know you’re thinking of your uncle, but a country can’t be without a king for a day, and a company can’t be without a leader for a day.”
“After the party, your uncle’s affair caused quite a stir, and the old man was so angry that he was hospitalized. Even if the outside world doesn’t know what exactly happened at the company, at this rate, it won’t be able to be kept secret for long.”
Shu Yi picked up where he left off, expressing her understanding.
"Uncle Dong, I understand what you mean. But as of now, the company is operating normally. I have reviewed all the reports from the various subsidiaries, and there is nothing unusual."
"My uncle is still under investigation and has not yet been convicted of a crime, right?"
As she spoke, Shuyi glanced at the suddenly lit phone screen, looked away, and continued to explain.
"Therefore, I still hope that everyone can give the Shu family some time. Everyone knows my identity; I am just the daughter of an illegitimate child."
"So after spending time with the Shu family, I feel I have some right to speak. I don't believe my uncle would do anything to damage the company's reputation, and I hope you can give him some time."
The little girl is so young, yet her words are so eloquent that no one can find any flaws.
The people present looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then Dong Nanliang, as the leader, spoke up again.
“Girl, we can give your uncle some time, but the company is currently without a leader, and the old man is in a coma and hospitalized. We need an acting chairman to step in, otherwise how will we handle all the big and small matters of the company?”
"Regarding company matters, we shareholders won't interfere too much. But as the person who can speak on behalf of the old man, you definitely need to choose someone, right?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The conference room door was knocked on again.
Following the sound, one could see Shu Chuanran, with a cold expression and aloof eyes, slowly walking into the conference room.
