In the next few days, Xia Yanbing was in a bad mood, still unable to persuade those stubborn old n, her uncles.
Seeking breakthroughs through innovation, and developnt through these breakthroughs, is the way for every enterprise to survive. Otherwise, they can only stand still and be left behind by the tis.
Unfortunately, despite Xia Yanbing’s eloquence, Xia Yujiang and his two brothers were just unwilling to budge.
This day, Xia Yanbing was nearly driven mad.
Her elder uncle, Xia Yuhai, secretly sold fifteen percent of his shares, and she only found out about it today.
The Xia Group was her grandfather’s legacy, a family enterprise, and now fifteen percent of the shares had fallen into the hands of the venture capitalist Shen Zhengwen.
Shen Zhengwen was representing Qin Yi, under the banner of a venture capital company from the start.
Xia Yanbing questioned Xia Yuhai whether he felt this was fair to their grandfather. In response, Xia Yujiang said that when the Xia Group almost went bankrupt due to Xia Yanbing’s mismanagent, he sold the shares. This statent left Xia Yanbing in tears.
Recently, the Xia Group had run into a cash flow problem, entirely because Xia Yanbing had no authority, being hindered by shareholders like Xia Yuhai, resulting in the failure to implent many correct decisions which caused the crisis. Yet, they blad her.
Moreover, Xia Yuhu took advantage to stir up trouble, planning to remove Xia Yanbing from her position as general manager, intending to have his son Xia Wentao take over.
Xia Yanbing knew if Xia Wentao took over her position, the company would be close to bankruptcy. Xia Wentao had the title of vice president but had never spent a day seriously working. Often, he couldn’t be seen for days.
Fortunately, Xia Yuhai and Xia Yujiang had so sense and knew they couldn’t let Xia Wentao replace Xia Yanbing, otherwise, the Xia Group would fall apart quickly. Thus, Xia Yanbing wasn’t dismissed.
However, no one agreed on the Xia Group’s plan to buy land for property developnt.
Qin Yi saw all this clearly. These old guys dared to trouble my wife. Wait and see.
The next day, Xia Yanbing invited Xia Yuhai and Xia Yuhu over for a al, trying to persuade them to agree to the land purchase and property developnt.
Qin Yi and Qin Wan’er quickly slipped out after eating.
During the al, Xia Yuhai and others didn’t miss the chance to sarcastically mock Qin Yi.
"Uncle, Second Uncle, if we continue seeking only stability as we are now, we won’t last long. We must pursue a breakthrough. Please believe , I have confidence,"
Xia Yanbing pleaded earnestly. It was Qin Yi’s first ti seeing Xia Yanbing so humble and yielding.
"So, after all this, you didn’t sincerely invite us for a al but set up a Hongn Feast," Xia Yuhai sneered, slamming his chopsticks heavily on the table.
Xia Yuhu scoffed, "Xiaobing, what we have now is very good. We don’t ask for much, just that there’s money to share each year. The company has just returned to the right track, and your disruptions might lead to trouble. If it happens, this ti, there might be no one left to save us."
"Uncle, Second Uncle, the real estate industry isn’t what it once was, but the plot in the city has a great location. We will target elite apartnts for the white-collar demographic, it will surely be popular, and selling the houses won’t be a problem. Please trust ."
Xia Yuhai scoffed, "It’s easy to say. Which part of this doesn’t require money? If we take a bank loan, the annual interest itself is a lot, and isn’t this money coming out of our pockets? You’re bold to gamble with our money."
"Xiaobing, don’t bring this up again in the future. If you do, don’t bla , as your uncle, for not showing rcy. We have the authority to dismiss you. If you’re not suitable as the general manager, Wentao can take over. His capabilities are known to all of you," Xia Yuhu said in a cynical tone.
"Second Brother, stop joking. Everyone knows what Wentao is like. Letting him take over is worse than letting Wenlin, my Wenlin is a graduate from a prestigious foreign university."
Xia Yanbing’s eyes dimd. As expected, it was futile.
"Dad, do you trust ?" Xia Yanbing placed her last hope on Xia Yujiang.
Xia Yujiang frowned and said, "Xiaobing, maybe we should drop this. It’s too risky. Actually, it’s pretty good as it is now. Just listen to your uncle and second uncle."
Just as Xia Yanbing was about to speak, Xia Yuhai coldly sneered, "I don’t want to hear about this matter again, going forward. We are the shareholders, and you are just an appointed general manager. It’s up to us to decide about the company."
Xia Yanbing’s lips trembled; if the Xia Group continued to seek only stability, it might not even last a few years.
"These old fools are like pigs’ brains with unconvinced stubbornness."
Qin Yi was surprised to see that it was Lin Hongzhuang who had said this.
Xia Yuhai and the others looked at Lin Hongzhuang with grim expressions.
Lin Hongzhuang stood head held high, not intimidated at all, and mocked, "What? Did I say anything wrong? Xiaobing is thinking about the Xia Group’s future. You guys are simply short-sighted, only focusing on the road at your feet. If there’s a pit, you won’t even manage to avoid it before you all fall in."
"When it cos to sharing the profits, you all run faster than one another, and when it cos to spending money, it’s as if it’s costing you your life. Don’t forget that the money you make is all thanks to Bingbing."
"Now I’ve seen it through; you’re all like the mythical creatures that only eat but never excrete, your money is strung around your ribs with wire sh if anyone’s to take a penny, it’d need pliers, pulling with every penny strung with veins, causing you imnse pain."
"Thinking of dismissing Bingbing, after she’s gone Xia Group might as well prepare to collapse. Then you can all go west for sustenance. And don’t expect Xia Wentao to take over, does he have what it takes? Apart from eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling, he’s a good-for-nothing, touching everything but good things."
"And Xia Wenlin and Xia Wenwen, one graduated from so diploma mill abroad after splurging on it for two years, and dares to claim he’s from a prestigious university. As for Xia Wenwen, apart from switching boyfriends around every day and ssing around, she probably doesn’t even know what a general manager does."
"Let tell you this, without Bingbing, you can’t even get to the shit as it’s still warm."
After Lin Hongzhuang finished scolding, the entire Xia Family was silent, except for the sound of Xia Yuhai and Xia Yuhu huffing with anger.
Qin Yi almost jumped up to applaud Lin Hongzhuang. Her scolding was really satisfying, utterly releasing. This woman’s fierce and bold personality was finally put to good use, causing Qin Yi to reevaluate her completely.
"You... How dare a junior talk to us like this?" Xia Yuhai was so angry his face turned blue, his lips trembling.
"The Lin Family is well-educated, huh? Is this how you teach your daughters?" Xia Yuhu pointed at Lin Hongzhuang, his hand quivering with anger.
Lin Hongzhuang put her hands on her hips, about to continue scolding. Xia Yanbing quickly held her back; if she continued, her uncle and second uncle might burst a blood vessel.
"Linlin, stop it."
"Why not? I’ll scold whoever bullies you, and if they push , I’ll give them a beating."
Lin Hongzhuang rolled up her sleeves, looking at Xia Yuhai and Xia Yuhu, mocking, "Our Lin Family’s education doesn’t need your evaluation. No matter how bad our family education is, the children we raise aren’t useless scum trash."
Beautiful, Qin Yi almost couldn’t help but give Lin Hongzhuang a thumbs-up.
