Chapter 45: Negotiation and Coercion
The bright sunshine that had been shining for many days did not shine from the east the next morning, and the gloomy weather was even more cloudy on the sky, as if a storm could come at any moment.
This weather is similar to Li Ruoxi's mood, after all, she has to negotiate with the people sent by the family, and her heart is a little apprehensive. She has performed extremely well over the years, but mainly sheltered under the towering tree of the family, and now the towering tree no longer shelters her from the wind and rain, but has to give her some thunderbolts in the bad weather, which makes her feel very bad.
The business of Changling Group is divided into three major sectors: cosmetics industry, apparel industry, and small household appliance industry. This is a well-funded listed company, although it is not one of the largest group companies in Changji City, but it is still possible to rank in the top 20.
Following Li Ruoxi, who was dressed in professional clothes and showed his perfect figure to the fullest, Wang Ke strode into the gate of Changling Group Company.
He has some understanding of Changling Group Company, but it is only a one-sided understanding, because the name of this group company is what he learned from Aunt Song.
On the eighteenth floor, in the office of the general manager of Changling Group Company, Wang Ke sat quietly on the sofa, looking at his nose and nose and his heart silently running the true qi in the meridians, waiting for the arrival of the Li Ruoxi family while cultivating. Li Ruoxi sat in the office chair, stretched out her hand and pulled out a stack of materials, watching silently, as time went by, the look on her beautiful face became more and more indifferent.
"Bang Bang ......"
There was a knock on the office door, and a young woman in professional attire walked into the office.
"Mr. Wang, your guests have arrived, and they are in the conference room that is ready to go." The young woman whispered.
Li Ruoxi slowly stood up, turned his head to look at Wang Ke, nodded and said, "I know the way, you go out first, I'll go over later." ”
The young woman nodded, and as she left, she closed the door to her office again.
Li Ruoxi walked out of the desk, looked at Wang Ke and asked softly, "Are you confident in protecting my safety?" Because I don't know who the family is coming this time, if someone from my grandfather's generation comes, you don't make a move, just leave by yourself. ”
Wang Ke shook his head and said, "Even if the Heavenly King Laozi comes, I will protect my boss, please rest assured." Even if they want to do it, even if their cultivation is higher than mine, I will do everything in my power to stop them and buy you time to escape. ”
Li Ruoxi shook his head and said: "If someone from my grandfather's generation comes over, you are not their opponent at all, even if I can escape, I am afraid that I will be caught by them quickly, so you don't waste your efforts." I am the boss and you must follow my orders unconditionally. ”
Wang Ke nodded helplessly, agreeing with Li Ruoxi's words.
A few minutes later, the two arrived in a small conference room.
At this time, there were five middle-aged people sitting in the conference room, three middle-aged people in their forties, and two middle-aged women dressed fashionably. Their expressions were full of indifference, since Li Ruoxi and Wang Ke stepped into the door of the conference room, the eyes of the five people only swept away from Wang Ke, and then focused on Li Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, I really don't understand, your child was so sensible and well-behaved before, why did you disobey our will when this time was so important to the family, don't you know how much benefit Lu Dao and the Gu family will get for our family after marrying?" Li Ziqiang, Li Ruoxi's own uncle, has a lot of voice in the Li family. After seeing Li Ruoxi sitting across from them, Li Ziqiang couldn't wait to take advantage of the seniority relationship and began to reprimand Li Ruoxi.
Li Yue, Li Ruoxi's aunt, a middle-aged woman in her forties, also had a cold face at this time, looked at Li Ruoxi with dissatisfaction and snorted: "Ruoxi, do you think that if your wings are stiff, you will not be disciplined by the elders in the family?" Let me tell you, no matter how much ability you have, then you are also a descendant of the Li family, and if there is no Li family, you are nothing. Put away your pride and arrogance, those of us who are elders will naturally not harm you, you can marry the first heir of the ancient family, and enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, what are you not satisfied with? ”
Although the other three did not speak, their expressions were exactly like this, and they also expressed the thoughts in their hearts.
Li Ruoxi's face was a little uglier than before entering the door of the conference room.
In her cold eyes, with a hint of pleading and stubbornness, she said coldly: "Don't talk about this topic, I'm still firm in my thoughts, even if I die, I won't marry the bastard surnamed Gu, don't be delusional." I know very well the purpose of your visit this time, and I advise you to come back anyway! I'm a living person, not a pawn in your hands, and I've earned so much money for my family in the past two years, isn't it enough? I am in charge of my own life, and no one should try to use me as a tool to earn benefits for the family. ”
A thick anger appeared on Li Ziqiang's face, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Li Ruoxi, you'd better make it clear, you are a member of the family, isn't it the obligation of the descendants of the Li family to seek benefits for the family?" ”
Li Ruoxi sneered: "Now you know that I am a descendant of the Li family?" If you marry me off as a tool for marriage, then am I still a descendant of the Li family? Is it still a member of the Li family? At that time, I'm afraid I'll have to represent the Gu family, right? You should understand that the person who marries the person who has gone away and spills the water that has gone away, right? ”
"Presumptuous, how did our Li family produce such a ruthless and unrighteous descendant as you? Li Ruoxi, you'd better figure it out now, if you resolutely refuse the marriage arranged for you by the family, then what will happen to you. Do you think this group company is your last umbrella? Make your spring and autumn dreams! If you don't go back with us, we can immediately revoke your management rights and kick you out of the company. Li Ruoxi's second uncle Li Ziming slapped the table and shouted.
Li Ruoxi's expression changed slightly, but she still said strongly: "What about you taking back the company's management authority?" If you kick me out of this company, I dare to guarantee that almost all the senior management will follow me out, and the group company will be paralyzed in an instant. ”
Li Ziqiang's five faces all showed sarcasm, and their faces were full of disdain for Li Ruoxi's threat.
Li Ziqiang sneered: "Do you think that if you promote them, they will really follow you?" You forgot the phrase 'milk is a mother', after all, those senior management have to rely on the company to make money to support, they are almost all old and young, who will follow you away? Are they going to follow you and the northwest wind? ”
Speaking of this, the sarcasm on his face became even stronger, his hands supported the table of the conference table, his body slowly stood up, stared condescendingly at Li Ruoxi sitting in the chair, and sneered: "If you are expelled from the family and the management authority of this last company is withdrawn, you should think about your fate!" You are nothing without a family backing. And when he came, the old man gave a death order, if you don't agree to marry the first heir of the ancient family, even where you live, the villa worth tens of millions will be recovered, and then you will not only have no money, but you may not even have a place to live, go back with us, otherwise you will wait to sleep on the streets! ”
Li Ruoxi's face was gloomy as if she could drip water, her lips trembled, her eyes were full of despair and pain, the taste of being oppressed and coerced by her relatives, as if a poisonous snake was biting her heart that was still praying for her family to read that family affection.
Her body trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of the cold, because the chill rising in her bones made her feel that her limbs and bones were cold.
She never imagined that the relatives of the family would be so indifferent.
Li Ziqiang looked at Li Ruoxi's appearance, and thought that his niece was afraid, so the anger and ridicule on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by a smug smile, reached out and touched the stubble on his chin, and said with a smile: "Ruoxi, you have been smart and clever since you were a child, you should know very well that there is no room for maneuver in this matter, and this time it is the person in charge of the Gu family who personally brought his son to the door to ask for marriage, and they have already given our family a big face, and even promised benefits, even if you have worked hard to take care of the family business for ten years, I can't make that much profit. ”
"You have to think clearly, marrying the first heir of the Gu family, in the future, you can be regarded as a man of his word in the Gu family, and become the wife of a famous family, how much power will you have, and how much wealth will you enjoy? If you give birth to a child in the future, you will also be cultivated as the first heir of the family, and you will definitely be able to control all the properties of the Gu family in the future. ”
"Maybe there is one thing, you still don't know, the Gu family is the same as our Li family, they are all Gu Wu families, the Li family has made it very clear that if the two families can marry, he will use a martial arts cheats as a dowry, and the Gu family can take out the dowry, can you imagine how good it is? If you marry into the Gu family, you will also be able to practice all the cultivation exercises of the Gu family in the future, which will also be a great luck for you. ”
"So, don't resist anymore, your resistance is meaningless, it's better to sit back and enjoy the pie that fell from the sky."
Li Ruoxi's face was blue, and after Li Ziqiang finished the last sentence, she suddenly got up and said in a deep voice: "If you want me to marry that bastard surnamed Gu, you will die of this heart!" Even if I die, I won't agree. Since you are so hard to force each other, then I will leave with the senior management I have cultivated, I don't believe it, I have someone in my hands, and I am afraid that I will not be able to create another career. Wang Ke, let's go. ”
Wang Ke has been standing behind Li Ruoxi since he followed Li Ruoxi into this conference room, and he can hear every word spoken by both sides clearly, and even the expressions on the faces of the five other parties, he can see it all.
For the ruthlessness of the Li family, not to mention Li Ruoxi, even he felt a chill.
It's just that when Li Ruoxi explained that he was going to leave with the company's senior management, from the sarcasm on the other party's face, Wang Ke suddenly had a bad premonition.
Hasn't Li Ruoxi made arrangements these days?
Will something happen?
Wang Ke wanted to open his mouth to remind Li Ruoxi, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up this idea.
That kind of bad premonition is just in my heart, even if I remind Li Ruoxi, what's the use? Why don't you let her give it a try and see if the people of her family will compromise?
Thinking of this, he turned around and followed behind Li Ruoxi and strode out of the conference room.
After Li Ziqiang and Li Yue'e glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths slowly outlined, full of sarcasm and disdain.
Li Ziqiang clapped his hands and sneered: "Let's go and see the excitement too!" Since this niece wants to fight to the end, let's let her know that Jiang is still old and spicy, and she is a yellow-haired girl who has not grown a single hair, and there are still many things to learn in the future. ”
"Yes, let's teach her a lesson today, let her know that without us supporting her behind her back, she is nothing. I used to think that this girl was very smart, but such a big thing, she couldn't figure it out, it seems that her cleverness is just a little clever, speaking of which, it is not an exaggeration to describe her as stupid. Li Yue's face was full of indifference, and her eyes also flashed with coldness.
