Chapter 258: Internal and External Troubles
The lobby on the first floor of Bank H was packed with people. The whispers of discussion gradually thinned out, and the quiet atmosphere of anticipation gradually permeated.
Everyone standing in the hall had a pen and paper, a voice recorder, and even a few people carrying a camera on their shoulders all the time.
It is clear that these people who are waiting are journalists. It is clear that this is a press conference.
It was clear that this press conference was a reception of no small scale. Because the reporters who came had already filled the hall.
It was clear that the content of the press conference was attractive enough. News that isn't hot won't attract a lot of journalists.
Some of these reporters were invited by the publicity department of Bank H, but many more reporters came to hear about it.
Journalists gathered here just to track down the biggest economic news in S City recently, and it was also the biggest scandal.
Lingyun Company was recognized by the media in S City almost overnight, and it also became the target of the people of S City overnight.
As a result, a scene that hardly looked like a press conference was crowded with reporters from various media outlets.
Media people are looking forward to a press conference that excites them, and they are looking forward to an earth-shattering upheaval.
John sat in his seat and carefully proofread his speech. He kept appreciating and revising.
Until there was a soft knock on the door and the secretary walked in.
"Are there many journalists coming? What are their manifestations? John didn't look up.
"Mr. John, the reporters who came almost filled the living room. We invited five financial media outlets, but more than 40 media outlets, including TV stations, arrived. The secretary's tone was complicated.
John looked up, his expression incredulous.
The secretary looked at his boss and nodded.
John groaned. After a long time, he picked up the text of the speech on the table.
"It seems that I do not need this harshly worded statement. I had to give myself leeway. John sighed as he crumpled the text of his speech in his hand.
He threw the balls of speeches into the basket with regret.
"Let's go meet with reporters. May we not be condemned. May God forgive us for our actions. John stood up. The corners of his mouth curled with self-deprecation.
Journalists are getting agitated while waiting, they are getting more and more irritable, but they are also getting more and more expectant.
An irony is always present in the media world, and the more arrogant the press conference, the more revealing it will be. The job of a journalist is not to dig up justice and responsibility in the first place, but to find turmoil and cause greater turmoil. A good journalist must have a bloodthirsty nature.
Standing at the top of the stairs looking at the group of reporters in the distance, John seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood floating in the air.
A wry smile gradually floated. John tidied up his suit and seemed to be sorting out his fluctuating heart.
"Kevin. Don't let your friends down. Don't let a friend be the protagonist of a scandal. **! John poured out his uneasiness in annoyance before he stepped forward.
The commotion quickly subsided, and the eerie silence quickly drifted away. The excitement in the air, mixed with the smell of blood, quickly spread.
At this moment, Lingyun Company is also in turmoil and chaos as always.
The investigation team has penetrated into all aspects of finance and engineering, as well as the site. The employees of Lingyun Company cooperated with the investigation team while waiting anxiously for other crises to break out at any time.
Condemnation of the company has intensified in society, and in-depth discussions on television and newspapers have also been overwhelmingly bashing.
The trembling atmosphere has always suppressed the entire Lingyun Company.
There was a deathly silence in all the hallways.
In the entire office building, only the finance room and the conference room were busy, cooperating with the investigation team to retrieve information.
The scene of more than a dozen people gathering in front of the deputy general office on the seventh floor is in stark contrast to the silence in front of other offices.
It's just that it's just as much of tension and anxiety here.
"Viagra has been in for so long, it's time to let us in." The ark grumbled quietly.
"Alright. At this time, you still have the heart to joke. Beware of Xiao Wei's attack on you. He was holding back the fire in his belly. Xie Weicai next to him reminded in a whisper.
"He's got a fire in his belly? I'm still on fire. Which of us is not on fire? If it weren't for his hesitation, we wouldn't have begged Mr. Lu to help us at this embarrassing time. Originally, people gave us face, but we didn't know how to lift. Well, now everything is complicated. If Mr. Lu refuses us at this time, let's honestly wait for Lingyun Company to be blessed. Viagra! Viagra! Viagra is the brand we adore. What's wrong? I shouted so when he came out. The ark jumped.
Everyone smiled wryly and shook their heads. The Ark's complaints resonated with them.
They finally opened it from inside, and Xiao Wei walked out.
"Viagra. What do you think? The Ark greeted it as if demonstrated.
"You all go in." Xiao Wei's tone was lifeless and contentless.
"What is the result? Did he agree? Fang Zhou asked, and everyone stared at Xiao Wei and stared at his trance.
Xiao Wei shook his head.
"What the hell is going on? You're talking. We just know what to do. "The ark was in a hurry.
Xiao Wei glared at the other party fiercely.
"What can I say? He didn't speak, just looked at the agreement for a while, and stared at me for a while. I don't know what he thinks. It's just that I think he's a little weird. He only said one sentence in the end. Xiao Wei leisurely spat out his answer.
"What?" Sun Guoxin couldn't help it this time.
"Let you go in with you." Xiao Wei grimaced.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally gradually understood Xiao Wei's brainless words.
Lu Kaiwen stroked the agreement in his hand and looked at everyone one by one. His vision is slow and intriguing.
Shame grows in everyone's heart, and it seems that under the gaze of the young vice president, the darkness in the heart can no longer be hidden.
"Huh. I've kept you waiting. But you don't have to mind. Because, you also made me wait for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, you guys made me wait a whole month. We've finally settled it. Kevin Lu opened his mouth.
Relaxation and banter washed away the embarrassment that had just condensed.
"I'm primarily responsible for this. I have too many concerns. I always think that I am a relative of Mr. Ning, and I have dragged everyone down. Here, I would like to apologize to my colleagues. Xiao Wei finally had a chance to speak.
Everyone looked at this fat leader with gratitude.
"Alright. Since there is no more mustard, we might as well open up and talk about it. Kevin Lu's voice became more and more full of sunshine.
What can the crowd do? All you can do is nod your head frequently.
"I know you all want to do something. You have also made your own achievements in Lingyun Company. But you have already achieved the ultimate in Lingyun, and there is not much room to go any further. Am I right? Kevin Lu continued his one-man performance, and he seemed to enjoy the atmosphere.
There is still only one thing that everyone can do, and that is to nod their heads frequently. I have to admit that Kevin Lu spoke everyone's mind.
"If I hadn't appeared in Lingyun Company, if Lingyun Company had been as smooth as ever, maybe you would have been with Lingyun Company through your career. After all, at your age, it is no longer very realistic to choose a higher goal. Am I right? Kevin Lu continued to express his momentum to himself.
Everyone nodded in complicated emotions and cooperated with the young man's command.
"But I am fortunate to have known you, and I have been fortunate to be able to use your experience and experience. I have to say that we are taking what we need. We're making a deal, but it's fair and it's emotional. Do you agree with what I said? Kevin Lu is still immersed in the intoxication of self-esteem.
Everyone nodded mechanically in agreement. It seems that this immutable simple action is the best representation.
"Since we have common interests and feelings, then we have a good basis for cooperation. But I see your hesitation. I understand your hesitation, because you are in Lingyun Company, and you can't get rid of Lingyun's fetters for a while. I can interpret your hesitation as loyalty to Lingyun Company. I appreciate such loyalty. I also hope that you will continue to use this quality in the project of the Motor City. Let's encourage each other. Kevin continued with a well-timed pause, waiting for the audience's reaction.
There was a sense of relief in the frequent nodding movements of everyone.
"However, I do not appreciate foolishness. Not appreciating obsession. We are doing business, not relying on a company to live for a long time. If there is no ambition, then I would like him to come up and quit the management team of Motor City. The Motor City project is a nascent project that requires the enterprising spirit of the management personnel. If you don't want to fight for it, please stand up. Lu Kaiwen began to preach in a low tone, and he began to wait.
Everyone straightened up, and their solemn and sacred expressions invariably rose between their eyebrows.
A long silence, a long observation.
"Good. Since no one wants to leave the Motor City project, I declare that you will officially enter the Supervisory Board of the Motor City from now on. At the same time, you become a member of the board of directors of the Chinese side. Congratulations. Kevin Lu picked up a pen and re-signed his name on the agreement.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and applause erupted after a brief silence.
Kevin Lu waited, waiting for everyone to vent and then waved his hand.
The applause quickly stopped.
"You must have read this agreement carefully. You have no objections. Kevin Lu began to exercise his power again.
Everyone tried to absorb the essence of the new boss's words.
"I would like to remind you that at the moment you signed the agreement, your equity in Lingyun Company has been pledged to P&G. Do you know what that means? Kevin Lu continued to pause in a heart-wrenching state.
Everyone's hearts finally hung in the air, and the new boss had to worry about this sensitive topic at this moment.
"You are not allowed to exercise the voting rights of Lingyun Company for three years, and you are not allowed to participate in the exercise of the rights of directors of Lingyun Company. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to participate in anything that happens at Lingyun that involves the board of directors, including major personnel changes. I hope you will live up to your promises. Lu Kaiwen's heavy tail note was wrapped in a threatening momentum.
Everyone in the room could feel the threat of the young boss, and they chewed on it and guessed what he meant.
"No more guessing. Remember, it's anything from Lingyun Company. Even the change of chairman and a major reshuffle of the board of directors. Kevin Lu almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out his impatience and roughness.
Everyone had a stunned expression.
Kevin Lu began to observe everyone's reaction with interest.
The astonishment quickly rolled up, and Xiao Wei desperately suppressed his new emotions. Finally, I heard the answer from the young vice president that I had been afraid of. It's just that he was vigilant, desperately suppressing the urge to ask.
Joy quickly followed by consternation. Entangled in euphoria, there is also a little bit of accumulated hope. The young vice president finally made it clear that he wanted to protect the company in disarray. He didn't look like he showed to be indifferent, he gave himself hope.
I have smelled the smell of danger and no longer have confidence in the company that has been baptized by the storm of scandals.
At this moment, the young vice president ignited his own hope.
As a manager with strong assets, as a foreign manager with rich financial experience, he can be convincing.
Maybe...... Xiao Wei didn't dare to think about it anymore. The young vice president's determined demeanor and tone made him suspicious, but he didn't dare to extend his sudden suspicions.
Everything seems to have an answer, but everything seems to be more confusing.
Xiao Wei looked at the others helplessly, and what he saw was all kinds of expressions and all kinds of thoughts.
Xiao Wei gritted his teeth and simply closed his eyes.
Kevin Lu was pleased with what he saw. It's just that he feels that he can't get enough.
"Don't think I'm making things difficult for you. Perhaps it will not be long before you will know that this is your protection. As long as you are protected, hope is reserved for Lingyun Company. Even if Lingyun Company ceases to exist, as long as there are you, Lingyun Company will not die. ”
All the listeners had to be immersed in a sudden surge of emotion.
The young vice president's emotional words moved them, although this emotional performance was hypocritical, but I have to admit that in this chaotic moment, at this special moment facing a major crisis, the young vice president brought them deep touch.
Everyone was so depressed by the sorrow that they could barely breathe.
The young vice president is rescuing them.
He became the mainstay of the hearts of all those present.
Disappointment was accompanied by hope that impacted these veterans of Lingyun Company.
The solace and hope in the midst of the crisis is moving. It is destined to wash away all sorrow and folly.
