Chapter 449: 026: Is this your boyfriend?_2
After hanging up the phone with Ye Lingran, Yun Qi glanced at Shao Min in the front passenger seat: "In a moment, when you talk to the reception and the secretary’s office, let them know Ling Ran will be arriving, and when she does, have her wait for me in my office with a cup of red tea and some dessert ready."
"Yes." She already understood Yun Qi’s attention to Ye Lingran and wasn’t surprised he gave such detailed instructions.
Upon returning to the company, it was exactly four o’clock, and the board members were all present. When Yun Qi entered, he nodded to everyone: "Apologies for keeping you all waiting. Let’s begin now! Regarding the UM Mall project, your previous votes were 5 to 7, with the majority against it. It’s been two months since, has there been a change in thoughts?"
"Everyone is well aware of the previous incidents at UM Mall, which are the main reasons for their closure. If we consider their mall now, it would undoubtedly ruin our brand for the next quarter, impacting Yun Group’s reputation and possibly leading to a drop in the stock market. I completely oppose any cooperation with UM Mall at this juncture."
"But Chairman Tan, haven’t you heard that recently President Lu of the Lu Group has shown interest in acquiring UM Group? If the mall falls under Lu Group, have you not considered how significantly it would aid our company’s future development and next quarter’s key products? You’ve all heard what kind of person Lu Jingang is, and now he is even merging with the Mu Group. Their company’s key jewelry designs for this and the next quarter align closely with our company’s fashion designs. Back when Director Yun from the design department mentioned this, has Chairman Tan not seen this after two months?" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, another crafty old fox also retorted.
For a moment, the meeting room erupted into a cacophony, but Yun Qi remained calm, quietly observing their dispute. He had already made a determination in his heart about this issue, but since the board wanted to weigh in, he had to follow procedure. After all, according to protocols, the board has the right to participate. However, his internal convictions were further solidified by their bickering, which he found too lively to interrupt.
Sitting by the wall, taking notes of key points, Shao Min and Chai Jie exchanged a glance, cautiously watching Yun Qi’s expression. Seeing him remain composed, Shao Min slowly shifted closer to Chai Jie: "Judging by this atmosphere, is President Yun going to make a big move?"
"President Yun has always had a way of dealing with these old-timers; we just need to watch. Make sure you take notes on the meeting’s key points, or else when President Yun asks later, you won’t have any answers."
Shao Min glared at him with displeasure, pouting slightly: "I know, do you think I don’t know?"
After they argued for a few minutes, Yun Qi gently tapped his fingers on the table, prompting the directors to look at him and quiet down. One curious director asked: "President Yun, you’re the CEO of Yun Group, the decision lies with you. What is your view on this matter?"
"I’ve discussed this matter with President Lu and reached an agreement. Once they complete the acquisition of UM Mall, we will discuss this matter in detail. As for the profit concerns of the directors, since I took over Yun Group, whether in terms of the company’s profits or the stock market, when has there ever been a significant decline? Initially, I thought this meeting was pointless, but since everyone enjoys arguing, I participated. Now that the dispute is over, the meeting is concluded! It’s getting late, thank you for your hard work, everyone." With that, he gave Shao Min and Chai Jie a signal and then left the meeting room.
The other directors were stunned. In the entire meeting, he only said two segments of speech before leaving them like this.
Chai Jie and Shao Min quickly stood up, nodded slightly to the directors, and then followed Yun Qi’s pace.
"It’s almost time to get off work. Organize today’s work , then head to the design department to inquire about those design drafts and have them emailed to me. After that, you can call it a day," Yun Qi said while walking towards his office, then slowed down to wave them off.
