No one dared to speak, their eyes fixed on their noses, their noses on their hearts.
It was Mu Teng who finally looked at everyone and said softly, "The meeting can begin. As we discussed last time, let's start with the proposals."
The crowd dared not harbor any other thoughts and quickly began their reports in the order previously arranged…
However…
They found that the atmosphere in the conference room grew heavier with each report. Before the reports were even finished, Fu Si Ye let out a cold sneer.
The person reporting instantly fell silent, beads of sweat appearing on their face. They were incredibly flustered.
Since there were multiple people reporting, the one currently speaking had a trembling hand holding the documents. Why did President Fu choose this exact moment, when he was reporting, to let out such a cold scoff? He was truly terrified!
"This is the proposal you've spent a month writing for me?" Fu Si Ye's expression was menacing, his voice filled with intense coldness that made people panic.
In an instant, everyone dared not utter a sound.
The entire conference room was deathly quiet.
And in the next moment, Fu Si Ye spoke in a deep voice, "Redo it. Within three days, if you can't give me a satisfactory proposal, you're all out of Fu's!"
With that, Fu Si Ye rose and walked out.
Mu Teng quickly got up and followed.
The remaining employees had expressions that couldn't be described as anything less than grim…
Thinking about having to redo the proposals with a deadline, they were truly a bit panicked.
…
At the same time, Mu Yin Yin had arrived at Starry Group, where she was currently presiding over a meeting.
A shareholders' meeting.
Here, more than twenty people were all seated together, each sizing up Mu Yin Yin, who was seated at the head of the table.
In the past, the person occupying this seat was Jiang Ling. The sudden change to Mu Yin Yin made them a little unaccustomed.
Furthermore, she was a woman. Even though they knew from the beginning that Mu Yin Yin was the leader of the founders, they still harbored a degree of resentment.
Especially since Mu Yin Yin was proposing a new collaboration, and they didn't seem to agree with it at all.
At this point, a bald man, who looked to be in his forties, was looking at Mu Yin Yin and said in a deep voice, "The cooperation project is good, but undertaking this collaboration carries immense risk. Our company has already invested most of its funds into the previous cooperation, and we can't expect returns in the short term. If we inject the remaining funds into your highly risky project, and it fails, what then?"
The man was named Luo Gang, and he had an arrogant personality. Among the shareholders, he was considered quite influential, having secured several successful collaborations.
After he finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in, "That's right. This project is too risky. If we proceed, it will only plunge the company into a financial crisis. If it succeeds, that's another story, but if it fails, it will be a huge loss for the company. It's really not advisable to take this gamble."
Jiang Ling's gaze fell on Mu Yin Yin. Seeing her looking his way, he ultimately remained silent.
No one knew that in that instant, Jiang Ling and Mu Yin Yin had already exchanged a glance. Jiang Ling's eyes asked her if she needed help, and Mu Yin Yin's response was no.
Mu Yin Yin looked at the two people speaking and said with a calm expression, "This collaboration will only succeed. It's not as difficult as you say. Xiao Qi is personally going to handle the negotiation. With her there, it won't fail."
Gu Xiao Qi nodded cooperatively, "Yes, I believe I can definitely secure this collaboration."
Then, she looked at Luo Gang, as if speaking to all those who opposed Mu Yin Yin.
"The party we are collaborating with is Fu's Group. If Fu's Group does not agree, we will not proceed. So, if Fu's Group agrees, what do you have to worry about?"
Li Chuan's gaze was indifferent, and he said coldly, "The collaboration needs to be discussed. Don't worry about things that won't happen."
"You…? Are you saying I'm worrying about things that won't happen?" Luo Gang's face turned somewhat unpleasant as he directly questioned him.
Li Chuan looked at him coldly, "Aren't you?"
"You…!" Luo Gang was so enraged that he couldn't think of anything to say. He shouldn't have asked Li Chuan that question. Li Chuan had always been sharp-tongued and showed no respect to anyone. Moreover, he was also a founder of the company, with higher shares and greater influence than him.
In an instant, out of the four founders, three had the same stance. Those who wanted to support Luo Gang suddenly hesitated.
However, a woman nodded in agreement, "What President Gu said is quite clear. If Fu's Group doesn't agree, we won't act rashly. And if Fu's Group deems it a good collaboration and is willing to invest, then it should be stable."
Mu Yin Yin then looked at everyone, "Does anyone else have any opinions?"
Luo Gang's expression was somewhat grim. Having been embarrassed by Li Chuan just now, he was already feeling unpleasant. If the matter were to proceed so smoothly now, he would lose even more face. He directly said coldly, "For this collaboration, I need a guarantee. What happens if we lose money? Can you bear it all alone?"
Gu Xiao Qi's expression turned cold, and she looked at Luo Gang displeasedly, "What do you mean by that? We have always followed the majority's decision, and profits and losses have always been shared. Why is it that when it comes to you, Yin Yin has to bear it all alone? Mr. Luo, did you even think before you spoke?"
Luo Gang's face instantly turned extremely grim, "That's because the project she's undertaking is extremely risky. If it's averaged out, everyone will have to bear immense risk. Is there something wrong with me saying that? Many shareholders might be afraid of your authority and dare not voice their dissent. Now, I'm just asking for a guarantee for everyone, is that not allowed?"
Gu Xiao Qi was utterly amused, "What you're saying is ridiculous!"
Luo Gang sneered, "How is it ridiculous? Am I wrong?"
The others remained silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Clearly, a loss would mean a huge loss for everyone.
Mu Yin Yin said with a half-smile, "If that's how you see it, it's not impossible. If there's a loss, I'll bear it. But if there's a profit, it has nothing to do with you. Do you have an opinion?"
Luo Gang's expression darkened, "What do you mean by that!"
Mu Yin Yin narrowed her eyes and looked at his drawn face, "Don't you understand the literal meaning?"
"You…!" Luo Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Before you came, every project in the company was a collective effort. How come now, you're even denying me my dividends? Is this the 'new broom sweeps clean' policy?"
