I Don't Agree

Just as Li Chen was checking the stock market performance of the shares he had bought yesterday, a middle-aged man suddenly burst in.

"President Li, why would you..."

Meng Fanghai was about to argue with Li Chen when Li Chen's expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice.

"Get out!"

"Ah!" Meng Fanghai was a bit stunned.

"Get out! You don't even understand such a simple principle as knocking before entering an office!"

Even an elder of Li Muting's level had to knock and get Li Chen's permission to enter his office.

Not to mention Meng Fanghai, who was just a mere project manager. This clearly showed a lack of respect for Li Chen.

Seeing this, Meng Fanghai had no choice but to go out and knock again.

Thump thump thump!

"Come in."

Meng Fanghai entered and quickly said, "President Li, are you crazy? You actually want to stop the Food House Seafood Market and Sun Apartment!"

"Do you know that the company worked overtime for several weeks straight to get these two projects, investing a lot of effort and time?"

"We finally got them, initiated them, and they were slowly getting on the right track."

"Now these two projects are almost finished, but you want to stop them."

"I absolutely do not agree with this!"

After listening, Li Chen nodded and said calmly, "I showed you the report just to inform you, not to discuss it with you."

Meng Fanghai's attitude was firm. "No matter what, I will not agree to stop these two projects."

"Furthermore, these two projects were initiated by your father when he was alive and are the main revenue sources for the company in the next five years."

Li Chen was a little displeased.

In the past, Li Chen would have removed Meng Fanghai from his position as department director without a second thought.

But now the company was in a crisis, so Li Chen had to be patient and explained, "I know that my father and all of you put a lot of effort into these two projects."

"But I have to consider the company's current situation."

"Moreover, these two projects won't start generating normal profits for at least five years."

"But five years is too long. I need to pay off the debt within one hundred days."

"It won't be too late to restart the projects then, right?"

But Meng Fanghai remained unyielding, sticking to his point of view.

"President Li, I understand your thoughts."

"But these two projects really cannot be stopped. This is an important starting point for our company to enter the real estate industry!"

"If we don't seize this opportunity, then in the future we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chen loudly rebuked, "Without the present, where is the future!"

"One sentence, are you stopping or not stopping!"

Meng Fanghai glanced at Li Chen and said calmly, "If President Li really wants to stop these two projects, then I will just resign!"

After speaking, he strode out of the office.

"This is outrageous!"

Li Chen suddenly stood up, pointed at Meng Fanghai, and angrily said, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you just because you are Fang Xiang's person!"

"I'm changing you right now!"

But Meng Fanghai didn't even turn his head and walked straight out of the office.

After Xuan Ke closed the door for Li Chen, she softly said, "President Li, don't get agitated, calm down."

"Meng Fanghai is the director of the project department. Presumably, he is doing this for the good of the company."

Li Chen said coldly, "He's doing it for the good of the company my foot!"

"He was purely sent by that scoundrel Fang Xiang to disgust me."

"Moreover, the company is almost gone, and he is still concerned about his little patch of land. His perspective is too narrow."

Xuan Ke was a little confused and asked, "But a project, from the initial bid to the final implementation of the plan, involved the hard work of countless people."

"Furthermore, these two projects have received many promised benefits from senior leaders. If the final work can be completed, then everyone's efforts will be rewarded."

"But President Li, you are stopping it now just like that. What about the people responsible for these two projects?"

"As the director of the company's project department, Meng Fanghai definitely has to make a statement and give an explanation to the people below."

Xuan Ke paused and continued.

"Moreover, I also learned that these two projects of the company are not only about entering the real estate industry, but also about laying out a new development zone."

"The purpose is to build good relationships with the new development zone so that we can take on more projects in the future."

As a transmigrator, how could Li Chen not understand what Xuan Ke was saying? After all, he was in this line of work in his previous life.

But there must always be priorities.

That's right.

The Food House Seafood Market and Sun Apartment are part of the company's layout for the development zone.

It can be said to be a very important part of the company's future development.

As long as they endure these few years, and when the pedestrian traffic increases and the brand is established, they can take on more projects.

But the key is that the company can no longer hold on for so long.

Losing the layout of a development zone will at most result in financial losses, but if these projects are not stopped decisively now.

Then the company's capital chain will completely break within a short period of time.

At that time, even if a god came, it would be beyond salvation.

After listening, Li Chen looked up at Xuan Ke and smiled faintly.

"It seems you haven't failed the salary I'm paying you."

Xuan Ke chuckled, feeling a little happy.

"But have you considered one question, which is what position I am currently in?" Saying that, Li Chen tapped the table.

"Chairman of the company, is there a problem?" Xuan Ke didn't quite understand what Li Chen meant.

"Since the position I hold is called the Chairman of the company, there should be no room for personal feelings or human warmth."

"If I were to be soft-hearted because of the effort and hard work they put into these two projects, causing the capital chain to break and the company to collapse."

"Then who will feel for the thousands of employees throughout the company?"

After listening, Xuan Ke thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed the case.

The business world is like a battlefield; being soft-hearted will only lead to self-destruction.

Only by being decisive enough can one have the opportunity to stand out from thousands of companies.

"Furthermore, I am stopping these two projects not just for the company, but also for myself!"

"For President Li, you?" For the first time, Xuan Ke felt her little brain wasn't quite enough.

"Yes, for myself."

"If my attitude is not strong enough this time, then that guy Fang Xiang will become even more demanding next time."

"Moreover, you know my current reputation, a rich second generation who brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy."

"Of course, doing this will intensify the dissatisfaction of the people within the company towards me."

"On one hand, they will say that I have started to jump out and give blind orders."

"On the other hand, it will give Fang Xiang and his people an opportunity to make a big deal out of me."

"And if that guy Meng Fanghai really leaves with his team, then it will definitely be a huge loss for the company."

"Since President Li already knows the consequences, why are you still doing this?"

Li Chen smiled calmly, "Didn't I just say? It's all for myself!"
