Soon, all employees’ corporate emails received a ssage from the Human Resources Departnt.
"Notice on the Adjustnt of the Company’s Board of Directors and Future Developnt Plans"
"Dear colleagues: After review by the recent shareholders’ eting, the company’s board of directors has been reorganized. The new board will continue to adhere to..."
The announcent did not ntion the exit of He Jingping’s family or any other specific personnel arrangents.
But rumors spread within the company at an unprecedented speed.
And this was just the beginning.
Soon, all senior managent received separate notices to attend a closed-door eting at 1 p.m. in the large conference room.
Imdiately after, middle managent (workshop supervisors, departnt managers) received more detailed written notices and were instructed to convey the relevant information within their teams to ensure the new board’s policies were smoothly implented.
...
The ti was approaching two in the afternoon.
Chang’an District, Xucheng Property Headquarters, 3rd Floor.
Shen Yuyan wore a well-tailored business suit, walking calmly, looking capable and elegant.
Beside her, Li ixia carried a thick briefcase, looking focused, slightly nervous.
"Please wait here for a mont, Manager Gao is currently in a eting."
The front desk administrator politely invited the two of them into the reception room.
"Thank you." Shen Yuyan nodded with a smile, lightly smoothing her skirt with her left hand, and sat down gracefully.
Watching the receptionist leave, the two sat quietly in their chairs, chatting casually while observing their surroundings.
They waited for nearly half an hour.
Li ixia frowned slightly, worriedly saying, "Yuyan, we had an appointnt to et at two and sign the contract, why is Manager Gao suddenly in a eting? Could there be so changes?"
Shen Yuyan confidently replied, "Don’t worry, the frawork agreent has been signed, with Xucheng Property’s reputation, they won’t go back on their word."
The reason for her confidence was the sincerity shown during their interactions.
Not only had Manager Gao of the Purchasing Departnt been involved, but even one of their vice presidents had personally t with them for several etings.
The offered cooperation terms were also very generous.
Li ixia nodded, sitting up straight, saying no more.
At this mont, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and a tall, robust figure walked in.
A man in his 40s, his face covered with acne scars, his skin slightly dark.
Shen Yuyan instantly flashed a bright smile, elegantly standing up, "Hello, Manager Gao!"
The three exchanged a few pleasantries and sat down in the chairs.
"Manager Gao, we have prepared the contract, you can have your company’s legal departnt review it." Shen Yuyan’s voice was confident yet polite, gesturing to Li ixia.
Soon, a stack of formal contracts was placed on the coffee table.
But Gao Zhixue did not look at them, instead, he looked up at the attractive and elegant Shen Yuyan across from him, a polite smile forming on his lips: "President Shen, you’ve worked hard. I trust your contracts, but..."
He deliberately paused, his tone becoming deep, "After our internal discussions, the situation has changed sowhat."
Shen Yuyan felt her heart sink, but she maintained her composure on the surface, "Manager Gao, if there are any specific issues, we can further discuss adjustnts. Youjie Housekeeping values this cooperation greatly and has co with full sincerity."
Gao Zhixue nodded, seeming to agree with her statent, but his tone quickly shifted: "I understand your dedication, but our audit team has raised so concerns about your company’s financial statents. To our knowledge, your financial situation isn’t ideal."
Shen Yuyan tried to keep her voice steady: "Manager Gao, we have a VAM Agreent with Angel Investnt Institution, as long as performance targets are t, the funds will be credited smoothly next month. Please rest assured about this."
Gao Zhixue waved his hand, speaking with a gentle yet conclusive tone, "President Shen, I believe in your capability, but ultimately this is a decision from the higher-ups. They wish for a partner with greater stability, so we cannot proceed with the signing process at this mont."
Li ixia’s face changed drastically, she couldn’t help but speak urgently: "But last Friday, didn’t we already sign the frawork agreent?"
Gao Zhixue smiled faintly, his expression indifferent: "A frawork agreent only indicates the intention of both parties to cooperate, it does not carry legal effect. Besides, the decisions then were based on preliminary assessnts; now that the audit results are out, we must reconsider."
His words were well-mannered, yet Shen Yuyan detected sothing different in them, her eyes trembled violently.
Shen Yuyan restrained her inner anger, tentatively asking, "Manager Gao, if the funding is secured, can we imdiately restart the signing process?"
Gao Zhixue smiled: "Of course, my suggestion is for you to take our frawork contract and have a discussion with the angel investor, see if the investnt can be secured first."
Shen Yuyan gritted her teeth, her gaze somber, "Alright! Thank you, Manager Gao!"
"Alright then, I have so other matters to attend to, you can contact them now and we’ll confirm the procedural details." Gao Zhixue stood up, glanced once more at Shen Yuyan, and strode out.
"Bang——" The door to the reception room was closed.
Li ixia said urgently, "What should we do, Yuyan? If we can’t secure this client, we won’t be able to fulfill the VAM Agreent, isn’t this a deadlock?"
Shen Yuyan’s face was as dark as water, "I’ll make a call."
With that, she picked up her phone and dialed Ren Mingyuan’s number directly: "Hello? President Ren, is it convenient to talk now?"
