38th floor, group meeting room.
In the middle of the room is a large extra-long conference table, which is already densely packed with people in suits and leather shoes, these people are shareholders and senior executives of Tianqing Group, all of whom have suddenly received a notice to attend the shareholders' meeting.
"Strange! Why did the chairman suddenly convene a board meeting today? ā
"Could it be something important to announce?"
ā¦ā¦
There was a lot of talk in the conference room.
"Bang!" With a soft sound, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Li Tianqing walked in, followed by a young man with an unnatural look, and a young man with bright hair and a clean face.
The young man with an unnatural look was of course Li Mingyuan, and this young man with bright hair and a clean face was Li Tianqing's right-hand man, Director Cui.
Last night, he was informed by Li Tianqing that he was going to participate in today's shareholders' meeting, which made him entangled all night, but he also knew that he couldn't escape, so he still came.
At this moment, the cacophony disappeared, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone present rose from their seats.
"That's authority!" Li Mingyuan couldn't help but marvel.
Li Tianqing stood in front of the main seat, and Li Mingyuan stood behind on the right side.
"President!" A group of people bowed and shouted in unison, full of momentum.
"Let's all sit down!" Li Tianqing pressed his hand, and he sat on the black Taipan chair.
When they saw this, they sat down again.
"Director Cui." Li Tianqing spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to report on the company's first quarter earnings report." Mr. Choi stepped forward, opened the folder in his hand and said, "Thanks to the rebound of the Korean economy, the group's main apparel industry and cosmetics industry have grown. In the first quarter of 2011, total sales revenue was 5.52 trillion won, up 20% year-on-year, and operating profit was 550 billion won, up 22% year-on-year. Among them, the overseas business has grown steadily, contributing 69% of the growth revenue and 78% of the growth profit. This shows that as long as the current situation is stabilized, the group's performance will make great progress in the next few years. ā
As soon as Director Cui's words were finished, thunderous applause rang out in the conference room.
Li Tianqing waved his hand, and the conference room was quiet again, and his eyes swept over the people in the conference room: "Today's board meeting is not because of performance, but because I want to introduce a person." ā
At this moment, Li Mingyuan saw that most of the people on the field had focused their eyes on him, and most of the eyes looking at him were full of doubts.
For a while, Li Mingyuan was under so much pressure!
Li Tianqing stretched out his hand and pulled Li Mingyuan and began: "Since my son died in a car accident, I am afraid that there is no one who is not worried about the future of Tianqing Group. And this is my grandson Lee Myung-won, who has just graduated from the Department of Economics and Management of Seoul National University, and is about to take up a position in the company. ā
I don't know who took the lead, and the audience erupted in violent applause again.
Li Tianqing nodded with satisfaction.
"Mingyuan, you say hello to them." After the applause died down, Li Tianqing instructed.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Mingyuan." All the people in the conference room were very face-saving, Li Mingyuan threw away the unnaturalness and shouted loudly: "For the future of Tianqing Group, I will go to the soup and fight the fire!" He still knows a lot of such exciting words.
Even Li Tianqing didn't expect Li Mingyuan to take the oath passionately at this time, and couldn't help but applaud, and the room resounded with enduring applause.
Shareholders' high-level banquet at noon.
As the focus of the field, Li Mingyuan was surrounded by a group of people in the middle, and from time to time a business card was handed over and greeted.
"Hello, I am Liu Xijin, the group's special manager."
"Hello, I am Li Shimao, the executive director of the group."
ā¦ā¦
Li Mingyuan returned the salute one by one.
Finally got out of the crowd, Li Mingyuan took a deep breath, this kind of communication was really a tribulation for him.
Shaking his dizzy head, he put dozens of business cards in his hand into his pocket, Li Mingyuan tidied up his clothes a little, and walked towards the narrow white dining table.
Li Mingyuan stood at the table and tasted the delicious food by himself. The long, narrow dining table with its fine food was much more attractive to him than the top of the shareholders.
The banquet ends. President's office on the 39th floor.
Li Mingyuan and Li Tianqing sat opposite each other.
Li Tianqing proposed to let him come to the company in person.
Li Mingyuan was distressed for a long time, thought about it for a long time, and finally told the truth: "Grandpa! It's not the life I want. It was a deliberate decision he made, and while it's hard to say, it was genuine.
The unexpected answer made Li Tianqing frown.
Li Mingyuan looked at Li Tianqing's face hard, and said tentatively: "Can you take your time, for example, take a part-time job first?" ā
Li Tianqing seemed to remember something, and sighed: "You are really similar to your father." ā
Li Mingyuan did not interrupt the old man's memories.
"Back then, he was about the same age as you are now, do you know how he told me?" Li Tianqing muttered.
Li Mingyuan shook his head.
"He said that starting a family and starting a business, starting a family and starting a business, the eldest husband has a family before he has a career." Li Tianqing was recalling, "Actually, I know that kid just wants to play for a few more years." But I said yes anyway. Because I was young at the time. ā
"A few years later, he married your mother, and he devoted himself to his career. This made me very satisfied, I originally thought it was ......" Li Tianqing's hand covered his face, trembling all over, and a line of tears was shed.
Li Mingyuan was silent, his heart was very sour and bitter.
"Grandpa is old and can't wait a few years. In this life, I only hope that the Azure Group can be passed on in your hands, Mingyuan, do you understand? Li Tianqing wiped away her tears and continued, "But grandpa will respect your wishes, don't let grandpa wait too long, okay?" ā
The expectation of an old man's life, what a heavy pressure this is, Li Mingyuan suddenly felt very cruel, it seemed that under the influence of demons, only the main quest was supreme, and family affection was just a dispensable ornament in the depths of his heart.
The two talked for a long time, and they accommodated each other.
Originally, Li Mingyuan thought that as long as he rejected Li Tianqing's request, he was afraid that the side quest would fail, but he didn't get a hint for a long time, which made him very puzzled about the standard of this side quest, which seemed to be a task thrown by a demon in order to torture his inner conscience.
Originally, if you close your eyes and wait for a hard stab, you can concentrate on the main quest, but now this feeling is like a knife hanging over your head, you don't know when it will fall for you, not to mention how painful that feeling is.
