Chapter 40 Ms. Chen, You're Outdated

The several senior executives and shareholders who were whispering to each other made the entire meeting room rather noisy. Xiao Sheng, who had sat back in his seat, locked his eyes on Dai Muxue across from him and was making eyes at her. This made Dai Muxue, who was sitting behind Chen Shuyuan taking meeting notes, keep dodging his gaze...

Chen Shuyuan, who had the upper hand in the situation, gently patted the table. Every gesture of hers exuded a certain aura. In contrast, the group on Liu Jiming's side all turned their eyes to Liu Jiming, who was sitting in the second seat. At this moment, this crafty old fox was sipping the tea in his cup on his own, and no change could be seen on his face.

"Alright, everyone. Let's put this matter aside. I think every Huaxin employee is dedicated to doing their job well. The difficulties Huaxin is facing now require all of us to work together and unite as one! Instead of focusing on layoffs..." After saying this, Chen Shuyuan slowly turned her head, looked at Liu Jiming with a smile, and said softly, "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

"Since Ms. Chen has made a decision, I can't really refute it. But I reserve my personal opinion..." His ambiguous and even somewhat aggressive words made the entire meeting room fall silent again.

This decision was made solely by you, Chen Shuyuan. If these departments fail to achieve any results in dealing with the market impact later, you, Chen Shuyuan, will be held fully responsible...

Just as Liu Jiming finished speaking, a thick arm reached around his shoulder, and directly picked up the photo frame of Chen Shuguo that was originally placed beside him. Liu Jiming, who turned his head, was quite shocked to see Xiao Sheng's tall figure standing behind him! Holding the photo frame in his hand, Xiao Sheng blew a puff of hot air on the mirror, then carefully wiped it with his cuff. Sensing the eyes of everyone looking at him, Xiao Sheng suddenly looked up, showed a simple and honest smile, and quickly explained, "The photo frame was a bit blurry. You can continue..." As he spoke, Xiao Sheng put the photo back in its original place. Although Xiao Sheng's actions seemed trivial, they were indeed a warning to the small shareholders and senior executives who relied on Huaxin for a living, indirectly telling them the chips he held in his hand. And the arrogant aura that Liu Jiming, the old fox, was about to counter - attack with was instantly shattered by Xiao Sheng at the first moment. Xiao Sheng grasped the timing and the atmosphere perfectly. This allowed Chen Shuyuan, who was sitting in the first seat, to further take the initiative, at least for today...

Throughout the entire meeting, Xiao Sheng was like a sharp fishbone stuck in Liu Jiming's throat, making him uncomfortable. Taking this opportunity, Chen Shuyuan announced several important measures and personnel adjustments. Whenever someone from Liu Jiming's side came out to oppose, Xiao Sheng, who was sitting behind Liu Jiming, would either stand up to pull up his pants or turn around to pour water. Before doing these, he would always reach out to straighten the black - framed photo on a white background. This almost naked threat made everyone not dare to say more. This afternoon's high - level meeting was the smoothest one since Chen Shuyuan took over Huaxin. With Xiao Sheng's almost 'dominant' presence, the situation in the entire meeting room had been in her favor since he appeared. It had to be said that Liu Jiming suffered a great loss today. He thought he had everything under control and exposed his power too early. But Xiao Sheng's move of pulling the rug out from under him completely disrupted all his plans. In the final stage, the entire meeting room became Chen Shuyuan's one - person show. Whenever Chen Shuyuan symbolically asked the senior executives and shareholders, they would all involuntarily turn their eyes to Xiao Sheng, who was sitting behind Liu Jiming, closing his eyes and resting.

The tightly - closed door of the meeting room was opened again. Chen Shuyuan, dressed in a business suit, walked out of the meeting room first. Her personal assistant, Dai Muxue, followed closely behind her. Beside Dai Muxue was Xiao Sheng, who was holding the photo frame of Chen Shuguo in his hands as if he were worshiping a deity!

Liu Jiming, who slowly got up, turned his head to look at the back of Xiao Sheng as he left. His eyes were filled with malice, and he began to calculate something in his heart. In his plan, before the Kawashita Consortium came to Gangcheng, he had to firmly control several important departments of Huaxin. No one who became a stumbling block to him would be allowed...

Walking along the corridor back to the office, Dai Muxue, who was walking side by side with Xiao Sheng, would occasionally cast a glance at this 'womanizer' who made her a little scared. It had to be said that this man who never played by the rules would always use unexpected methods to rescue her boss from a difficult situation. For a moment, Dai Muxue couldn't quite figure out this man in front of her, who seemed a bit taller.

Dai Muxue, as always, was very professional. She rushed ahead of Chen Shuyuan to open the door of her office. Taking advantage of following Chen Shuyuan, as he passed by Dai Muxue, Xiao Sheng suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "It's a loss for me if you keep peeking at me..." After that, he walked in as if nothing had happened. Dai Muxue, who was standing there, blushed immediately because of Xiao Sheng's words, and glared at his back with her eyes...

"Come in with me..." Chen Shuyuan, who turned her head, still had a cold expression on her face. Her eyes were fixed on the photo of her 'father' held in Xiao Sheng's hands. After saying this, she pushed the door open first.

Scratching his head and ears, Xiao Sheng followed closely behind, closed the door gently, and stood in front of the desk with a bright smile on his face. Before Chen Shuyuan could speak, Xiao Sheng said directly, "No need to thank me. We're on good terms..." Facing Xiao Sheng's almost 'flattering' words, Chen Shuyuan looked at him coldly, threw the lawyer's letter on the table, and murmured, "What's going on? When did you contact my father?" Facing Chen Shuyuan's question, Xiao Sheng first placed the photo beside Chen Shuyuan's desk, then sat on the desk without hesitation, leaned forward, and said, "It's fake..."

"Fake? But this, this on it..."

"Ms. Chen, you're outdated. Nowadays, even arrest warrants can be forged. Eighty yuan, not expensive. It's just for scaring people..."

"Then, what about this photo? How, how did you..." As she spoke, Chen Shuyuan pointed at the only family photo of the Chen family of three on the table. If you looked closely, you would find that the appearance of Chen Shuguo in this ten - inch photo was exactly the same as that in the family photo, even the arc of the upward - curving corner of his mouth was the same...

"It was an emergency. I couldn't find a photo of Mr. Chen, so I just did a Photoshop job. I guessed that just relying on words and a lawyer's letter wouldn't be very intimidating. Carrying a photo of Mr. Chen would be much more imposing. It would make those old fogies feel scared, right?"

"Then why is it a black - framed photo on a white background?" When saying this, Chen Shuyuan's voice had become icy cold... Embarrassed, Xiao Sheng stood up from the desk, took a half - step back, scratched his head, and replied with a smile, "Your photo was too small. After enlarging it, the resolution was too low. I was afraid it would be exposed, so I used this method to cover it up. So..." After saying this, Xiao Sheng stretched out his finger and continued, "Don't say anything. I'll get out..." After that, Xiao Sheng turned around and rushed out.
