The things that Gu Mingche instructed were completed very quickly. When Gu Mingche saw the plan, it was as if he had seen the collapse of the Yan Group and Yan Qing kneeling at his feet begging him.
On the other hand, Yan Qing was not so happy.
Dealing with documents and attending meetings every day was already annoying enough, and she thought today's memories would just be some old-fashioned people talking in words she couldn't understand.
But soon after entering the door, Yan Qing found that something was not going on.
She understood every word spoken today, but she wished she didn't understand.
"In recent times, sales of many of our products have dropped significantly in the market, especially in the cosmetics sector."
That person should be in charge of market supervision or something like that, and he was analyzing Yan's recent market share incessantly.
Yan Qing didn't quite understand all of this, but he could understand one thing: Yan's market share had shrunk compared to last month. No, it should be the smallest share the Yan Group had ever had since its establishment.
"We're an established brand in the cosmetics business, but our sales have suddenly shrunk. Furthermore, the salesperson said a new product has emerged that's better than ours in both price and efficacy."
After the market regulator finished speaking, he placed the copied documents in front of each shareholder, briefly introduced the documents in front of them, and then sat back.
"This won't work! Our main business is now focused on this area. Now that this area has shrunk, what are we going to do with our other businesses?"
"Yes, yes! It's a pity that Lao Yan is not here, otherwise..."
As the man spoke, he glanced at Yan Qing secretly. Yan Qing understood what he meant without him having to say the rest.
Yan Qing really couldn't refute it. Although she had handled many documents during this period, she only needed to sign after her assistant had read them. She really didn't know what was written on them.
"How about this? Mr. Yan is out here dealing with branch office matters and won't be back for a while. The situation here is quite urgent. If we don't handle it well, the branch office might be affected. Mr. Yan's judgment is still a bit immature. How about we vote for an executive president to handle official business on Mr. Yan's behalf first, and then hand it over to him when he returns?"
As the man spoke, he stood up and stuck out his belly.
"This is also a good idea..."
A man wearing glasses who looked to be in his thirties agreed, and then those people ignored Yan Qing and started discussing who would be the most suitable person to be the executive president.
Yan Qing sat in the main seat with a rather unhappy look on her face. The assistant adjusted his glasses and put his hand on Yan Qing's shoulder to signal her to be patient.
After a while, those people discussed and came up with a result, and the person who was finally elected was the one who stood up and spoke at the beginning.
Yan Qing wasn't particularly familiar with that man. She remembered that he was the most active person during every meeting, and he would give a long speech every time she brought up something. Although he didn't cause any trouble, it always gave people the impression that those ideas were not from Yan Qing, but from him.
And when they held the meeting, those people subconsciously followed that person as the leader.
The man seemed a little embarrassed to stand up, but the bright smile on his face could not deceive anyone.
"Look, there's nothing I can do! Mr. Xiaoyan, don't overthink it. I'm just helping out a little. After all, the situation is quite urgent right now. If we don't speed up the process, we're worried that things will get worse later."
As the man spoke, he puffed out his belly slightly. His bald head looked a bit greasy, and he immediately felt uncomfortable.
"I can't make the decision on the CEO position. I need to discuss this with my father. Let's put this aside for now. The most urgent task is to resolve the shrinking market as soon as possible."
Yan Qing calmed down and looked at the man with a smile. Sure enough, the man's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Yan Qing didn't care. He continued to discuss things with other shareholders and left the man aside, with no intention of paying any attention to him.
The other people present also felt that something was wrong, but they all remained silent.
Because of this unpleasantness, the meeting ended quickly.
After returning to the office, Yan Qing called Yan's father directly.
"...Dad, this is roughly the situation now. What do you think we should do? Do we really need to appoint an executive chairman? But that person looks a little unpleasant to me. Can we trust him?"
Yan Qing didn't know these people very well, so he just gave a brief account of what happened in the meeting and then expressed his own views.
"It's not like I've never had an executive president, but in the past, branches always appointed one, and that person was someone I trusted very much. But Qingqing, you're getting older now, and you've learned a lot in the company recently. I'll eventually hand the company over to you, and this is a great opportunity to train. I trust you. Just go with your intuition and your long experience. How do you think we should handle this?"
Yan's father directly pushed the matter onto her, leaving her somewhat helpless.
"I don't know... But personally, I don't want to appoint a CEO. And that person's look... I'm scared. But if I really have to rely on myself to deal with the shrinking market, I don't know how to..."
Yan Qingwei spoke in a wronged tone, even with a hint of flattery in his words, wanting Yan's father to help him with some advice.
"Dad, just give me an idea! No matter what it is, don't be like this! I don't know what I'm going to do next if you keep doing this!"
"Qingqing, haven't you been managing your own company for so long? And I see that the liquid you made is just starting to show some results. Qingqing, just go with your own feelings. No matter what happens in the end, Dad won't say anything!"
"But what if I screw it up in the end? What if... I mean, what if I end up driving the company to bankruptcy? Pah! Dad, I'm just talking, don't take it seriously."
"I know. Don't worry. Since Dad dares to entrust you with this task, I have complete confidence in it. If you really have any questions, you can ask Xiao Zhang. If even he can't handle it, then come to me! Qingqing, don't forget, Dad has left you a think tank! It would be a waste to leave such good resources unused!"
After Yan's father said this, Yan Qing remembered the assistant who always assigned her a lot of work.
Maybe it was because the assistant was always silent, she forgot that the person who could be appointed as secretary general by her father was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Okay, that puts my mind at ease! Then I'll get started!"
Father Yan nodded, and then Yan Qing asked about her father's recent situation and hung up the phone.
