At this time, Lin's Jinyue, the most spacious and authoritative large conference room, has gathered a group of people.

In the head position, Lin Yifan, the current top person in charge of the company, sits upright.

On the other side are the remaining four people, the directors and veterans headed by Feng Qizhen.

On the other side of the table, it was now empty, with vacant seats waiting for the incoming ones.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and the group finally arrived.

The strange man opened the door to the side, and Lin Mansheng, who was dressed in black, walked in, her face was plain today, and the black clothes made her more and more solemn. Everyone also knows that her biological mother died not long ago, so it is also clear. It's just that I don't know why, I was shocked to be so bold in a moment.

Lin Yifan was also a little stunned in her heart, where did she get this arrogance?

I saw Lin Mansheng walking into the conference hall, and there was another person beside her.

That man, except for Lin Yifan, several directors present had never seen him.

Just take a look at it, and at the same time sigh at its excellent appearance, you will also be skeptical. In this shopping mall, for those who can achieve great things, excellent appearance is not a good thing, it is too eye-catching.

"Uncle Director, long time no see." She smiled and said, "It's my fault for keeping you waiting, and I will never make such a mistake again next time." ”

As soon as she appeared on the stage, she admitted her mistakes first, and her lowered posture was not only upbringing, but also a tribute to the other party.

Sure enough, those people all smiled in response.

Feng Qizhen even said, "You came just in time, a few of us arrived early." ”

The atmosphere that was slightly stagnant a second ago was washed away, and Lin Yifan interrupted here, "Sit down first, you stand, the directors sit, how uncomfortable." ”

Mansheng answered and took his seat.

At the same time, Wei Rong beside him has been silent, and he is also accompanying him. As for Zong Quan and the others, they were listening from the rear.

All the people have arrived, and Lin Yifan, as the head of the family, said, "Actually, today is not a formal board of directors, but it is just a few troubles, please come over and discuss." After all, a few people who are highly respected and must know more about things in the mall than those of us juniors. ”

"It's all young people now, and we've long since retired and don't care about it, but we're just free, so let's come over for a cup of tea." One director said, and the others nodded.

Lin Yifan said, "Those few people are drinking tea, just listen to us talk about things." ”

"Presumably, several directors also know that today is my sister Lin Mansheng, who invited you to come in private. She should also have told a few of her main thoughts for the day, which was that she proposed to recruit and appoint a talented person to the company as an independent director of the company. "Lin Yifan will go out first, and he will tell the story in the future.

"Actually, a few days ago, she also discussed this matter with me, but I think it is not very appropriate. The internal affairs of the company have always been reported to the top management, and then they are responsible for me, and I will submit them to the chairman before making the final decision. ”

"When it was crucial, several directors also gave very pertinent and effective advice. Since the establishment of Jinyue, there has never been a decision to hire independent directors for decades. ”

"Therefore, I think that such a delegation setting that is close to the top management of the board is not in line with the company's consistent style. It can only be said that this is a dispensable existence! ”

Lin Yifan's words were sonorous and powerful, and they were simply leaky, like words that had been prepared in advance for suppression. After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Mansheng, "Now let me ask, what is the role of such an independent director?" ”

Several directors felt that what Lin Yifan said was reasonable, and Feng Qizhen said fairly, "What Manager Lin said is not unreasonable, if there is no reason to convince us, then this independent director cannot be established." ”

After Feng Qizhen saw Lin Mansheng in the Feng Mansion, he also knew her intention, he didn't refuse, but he didn't completely accept it. The reason why she wavered was also because she was not convinced of Lin Mansheng's ability, how could she convince everyone?

Mansheng was not in a hurry, and in the face of everyone's eyes, she seemed very calm, "That's right, I did discuss this matter with Yifan." However, as the head of the company, he very conscientiously rejected me, telling me that it was not feasible. At this point, I still have to applaud him, although the chairman is our father, but he has always been strict with himself, and now he is the best reaction. ”

Lin Yifan was a little suspicious, in fact, they had never talked about this issue between them, but now she picked up his words, and what she said was serious.

"In fact, with the recent development of the company, there is really little need for independent directors." Mansheng said slowly, "But it will be difficult to estimate in the future, and the role of an excellent independent director in the company is by no means as simple as the finishing touch." ”

Seeing that she was about to say the substantive follow-up, but in a blink of an eye, she said, "Now, I will invite Mr. Wei Rong next to me to explain to you in detail the relative significance of independent directors." ”

In an instant, everyone's eyes shifted to one place again, this man attracted attention from the first time he appeared, and at this moment, he was named by Lin Mansheng, which attracted more and more attention.

Wei Rong smiled, glanced sideways at her, and suddenly remembered that on the way here, he asked her: There is a meeting soon, what do you want to say?

She replied: "I haven't thought about it yet."

He said at the time: Choose the points you know, and choose to avoid the important if you can't deal with it. It's better to say less than to make mistakes.

Mansheng looked back at him and smiled at him, "Mr. Wei, I'll leave it to you." ”

Her baton this time is really timely.

Looking at each other for a moment, there was a hint of appreciative smile in Wei Rong's eyes, and when he looked back, he looked at the group again, and it had disappeared.

Wei Rong said, "Hello directors, I am Wei Rong, and in the profession of independent director, I can talk about my own opinions. ”

His deep male voice continued to be stable without ups and downs, and he was clearly just a man with outstanding appearance, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the aura that inadvertently emanated made everyone stunned.

Only his warm male voice continued to sound in his ears, "I think you all know that an independent director actually refers to a key person who is independent of the company's shareholders and has an independent judgment on the company's affairs. ”

"Of course, there are two things first. First, they did not work in the company, and second, they had no important business or professional ties with the company or the company's managers. ”

"Only with the above two points can you become an independent director of a company."

"After this, there is a distinction, there is an unwritten boundary within the circle, which can be branched into five factions." He told one by one, "The high-ranking official faction is represented by Director Leung, the former president of Bank of China, who was once the financial secretary of the special administrative region of China. The big names are represented by the directors of well-known research institutes or famous national actors......"

and the tycoons, represented by such figures as the chairman of the board of directors of the limited company and the chairman of the board of directors of the group. There are also the multi-financial school and the academic school, and the representative figures are respectively bank directors with high wealth themselves, or professors and deans of well-known first-class universities......"

He is like a treasure, and he lists these five major factions, although everyone knows about them, but they have never infiltrated into contact, but they are also very interested at the moment.

"Each of these factions will give the most pertinent advice to the company from the perspective of their own capabilities, and they have a duty of integrity and diligence to the company and all shareholders."

"In accordance with the law, abide by the company's articles of association, conscientiously fulfill the accusations, and safeguard the overall interests of the company."

He directly elaborated on his obligations and responsibilities, his eyes were burning and calm, and he concluded, "To put it simply, it is to ensure that every qualified shareholder in the company obtains his or her own interests, treats each other without favoritism, and achieves fairness, credibility and fairness." ”

"Directors usually feel at ease to hand over the company to their juniors, but for the existence of an independent director, the meaning is definitely not as simple as being dispensable, it is a necessary decision." Wei Rong looked at everyone opposite, and he smiled, "Because Lin's is a fast-growing enterprise, it will definitely take a new foothold in this city in the near future!" ”

He made a loud voice, making everyone inexplicably convinced, and smiling, she already knew that this person had a kind of ability, even if it was just a sentence, but those eyes would be convincing.

Maybe that's the charisma!

Lin Yifan saw that the situation was not right, and immediately said, "But Jinyue has never had such an arrangement!" ”

"Manager Lin, there was no one before." Wei Rong replied, "However, the future is not certain. ”

Immediately afterwards, Mansheng said, "Jinyue has developed so far, and the scale has been growing. But unfortunately, it has not been successfully listed. When my father was the general manager, it was always his lifelong wish. Now that he is the chairman, he will pass on this vision. The directors have a deeper understanding of this wish than those of us juniors. ”

Jinyue was founded by Lin Jiadong, and has developed very rapidly until today, and it can be said to be unique in Yicheng. It's just that it has not been able to go public because of many problems, which is also a pity for everyone.

Seeing that everyone was silently pondering, Lin Mansheng said, "As a company that is ready to go public at any time, it is a crucial decision to start training and appointing independent directors in advance——! ”

Suddenly, like seeing a clear sky through the fog, after such a goal is clear, it is no longer a dispensable existence.

Lin Yifan stared, only feeling that the situation had reversed, and he had already leaned towards the side that did not belong to him.

One director said, "Manager Lin, I think what Sister Ling said is right, it is time for the company to have suitable independent directors." ”

Lin Yifan is now convinced that the directors are really moved!

"Since you proposed it, I think you must have the right person?" Feng Qizhen asked at the right time.

"Of course, but it also needs the approval of a few directors." The candidate I propose is the one next to me, Mr. Wei Rong, who has just answered for you! ”

In fact, everyone is not surprised at this time, how can they know this industry so well, if they are not insiders, how can they have such professional qualities.

"Mr. Wei Rong graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master's degree in structural engineering in two and a half years. After completing his studies, he was hired as the director of MZ, a well-known American company, and then successfully went public......"

"And the five factions that Mr. Wei mentioned just now, he has the qualifications among them."

This long list of astonishing records was revealed, and several directors were impressed, who would have thought that such a man would have not only his appearance, but also his unattainable intellectual ability and financial resources.

Just three months ago, he was hired by five companies at the same time. But fortunately, now that he has resigned from one of them, I can have this opportunity to get in touch with him and ask him to come and hire Jinyue as an independent director! In the amazed eyes of everyone, Mansheng said with a smile.

Everyone was shocked, and she was sure that no one would be able to calm down after hearing his background notes.

Lin Yifan said, "I believe that everyone agrees with Mr. Wei's resume, indeed, he is a very good talent." ”

"However, I also thought afterwards that in order to go public, it is indeed necessary to have independent directors, but it depends on the opinions of the directors. Now it seems that my previous worries were unfounded. If having independent directors is a necessity, then I have a candidate! Lin Yifan raised his eyebrows and announced, it was really unexpected, "Secretary Zhang, please invite Mr. Witt in." ”

Mansheng didn't know that Lin Yifan would have this one, so he just waited for the following.

Wei Rong sat there peacefully, and when he heard the name, he just smiled.

Immediately, Mr. Witt was invited in.

It was a tall foreigner, unsmiling. After he was invited, Lin Yifan said, "Let me introduce you, Mr. Whithamton, from the United Kingdom, graduated from Cambridge, a first-class university, with a double master's degree in finance and accounting, and then served as the CEO of a well-known British company......

The Mr. Witt introduced by Lin Yifan also has amazing strength!

In this way, the two of them are in a better position to compare.

Witt looked at everyone, he bowed his head politely, but when his gaze swept here, he stopped his gaze slightly here at Lin Mansheng, not knowing what he was looking at, as if he was a little surprised, and then retracted.

Lin Yifan said one by one, "Of course, I admit that Mr. Wei is an excellent talent, but as a senior executive who can concurrently serve as an independent director in five listed companies at the same time, it really makes me wonder whether he can ensure that he has enough time and energy to effectively perform his duties as an independent director. ”

"Again, I think the company needs to have a foreign professional as a director."

"For one, they are a sensitive radar for international industry trends. Second, their network can help companies find the right partners and explore joint venture opportunities. Thirdly, they can help companies develop their international mindset and bring valuable experience in running international projects. At the same time, it can also provide opportunities for how to obtain more innovative talents. In order to prepare for the future listing, I think it is worth recommending to effectively gain experience points in all aspects. ”

"In order to expand into foreign fields in the future, we must properly deal with the differences between Chinese and Western thinking patterns, work habits and cultures, and try to make foreign entrepreneurs understand."

"So, I think Mr. Witt might be a better fit than Mr. Lieutenant!"

Lin Yifan spoke in an orderly manner, and his speech-like speech was convincing.

Mansheng is also a little skeptical, Lin Yifan is indeed capable and talented, but based on the time he first came out of the mall, how could he invite such a powerful character?

Suddenly, it seemed to be understood, who was behind Lin Yifan!

That's - Wen's Jiarui's Shaodong Wen Shanglin!

However, Mansheng suddenly had no countermeasures, even if he had thought about thousands of possibilities in advance, he had never calculated that Lin Yifan would make such a move.

The directors' eyes turned to Lin Mansheng again, waiting for her to respond to this objection. Mansheng wanted to find a breakthrough, but his mind began to empty.

In the face of questioning and interrogation, Wei Rong smiled and asked very friendly, "May I ask Mr. Witt's professionalism?" ”

"I have just said that there is a double master's degree in finance and accounting." Lin Yifan said.

"That's right, then I and Mr. Witt are in a different field." Wei Rong answered, and Mr. Witt sat there silent.

In the panic, he seemed to have an epiphany, and said, "Since the fields are different, of course each has different advantages. Manager Lin, how can you be sure that Mr. Witt is a more suitable candidate than Mr. Wei? Is it because of nationality? So Mr. Wei's experience in such a number of countries is enough to rival that of foreigners. Nationality cannot represent everything, not to mention the talents who merge with China and the West, so that they can communicate more reasonably! ”

"Although Mr. Witt is a British citizen, his ancestors are Chinese, and he has a quarter of Chinese ancestry, so he is a talent who combines China and the West!" Lin Yifan is also the way.

At a critical juncture, not knowing what the outcome would be, Mansheng only knew that she must not lose, even if it was just a draw, she raised her head and said, "Then, in that case, I propose that Mr. Wei Rong and Mr. Witt be hired as independent directors of the company at the same time!" ”

"Hiring a senior is not an easy task!" Lin Yifan said, "The finance side will also calculate, and the salary is the problem!" ”

Regarding this point, Mansheng is not worried at all, "Because Mr. Wei was hired by me privately, and it is also for the development of the company and does not burden the finances, so his salary will not be calculated within the company!" ”

At this moment, Lin Yifan was speechless!

If you can hire a great executive for free, then the board of directors will not refuse!

It's just that Lin Yifan still said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think it is necessary to invite two of you for the current development of Jinyue?" Perhaps, there will be more different points of view, which will lead to a lot of unnecessary disputes. ”

For a while, there were ripples, making everyone hesitate.

At this juncture, the male voice sounded unhurriedly, and it was Wei Rong who laughed, "There is an article author, Flannery, who once said that for any Chinese company with an international layout, it is very important to have a foreign independent director. ”

"A few years ago, a domestic forestry company listed in Canada was investigated by the agency for falsifying sales and inflating the value of its forest land holdings. While five of the company's eight independent directors have solid financial expertise, none of them understand forestry and none of them have expertise in risk management, so the lack of consideration for the complexity of the company's business is an absolute concern. ”

"Miss Lin, what do you say?" Wei Rong asked with a smile.

"Then, compared to the finance and civil engineering degrees, for Jinyue, who started in the hotel industry, the latter I think is more reliable!" ”

This time, even if Lin Yifan, who had been prepared for a long time, could no longer say a reason to refute!

After discussing at this moment, the directors finally decided, "Both of you are dedicated to the development of the company, for your proposal, we agree to pass, in favor of hiring two talents at the same time as Jinyue's independent directors, I hope that in the future, we can develop together and create a higher level of glory for the company!" ”

The decision was made, and Mansheng sat in it and said, "In addition to hiring independent directors, there is another thing that I want to tell a few directors first. ”

What else is going on with her? Lin Yifan was really surprised.

In her attention, her female voice sounded softly, Wei Rong smiled, and heard her announce, "I am about to enter the company, become a member of Jinyue, and devote myself to contributing to the company, for which I have a mission!" ”

This is a more sensational announcement, Lin Yifan was already stunned, and the directors were also surprised.

This means that she, Lin Mansheng, wants to become a high-level owner of the company!

……

The directors were neutral about Lin Mansheng's proposal to enter the company, and Feng Qizhenze agreed, and everyone told the chairman first after summarizing, if he also agreed, then there would be no problem. After all, Lin Mansheng is also the biological daughter of the chairman, and he has the support of shares.

As soon as the morning board meeting ended, Lin Yifan had not left, "Sister, please stay and chat alone!" ”

"Please." Wei Rong smiled and got up, leaving only their siblings alone.

Now that everyone else has retreated, Lin Yifan's irrepressible anger is rendered, "What the hell are you going to do!" A director was brought in for a while, and now he wants to enter the company? Think of the company as your toy? ”

"If it's just my toy, what is the nearly hour-long board meeting?" Mansheng asked rhetorically, and Lin Yifan stopped.

Mansheng asked again, "Yifan, you can enter the company, why can't I?" ”

Lin Yifan really couldn't refute it, but he was also angry, "Do you think Dad will agree!" ”

"You don't have to be angry." Mansheng said, "Let's invite my dad to the company now, and I will personally tell him about the new independent director." You just say, I'm here waiting for the chairman to come over. ”

Of course, Lin Yifan would not obey her orders, "You have to go by yourself!" ”

"I'm not as the eldest sister now, but as a shareholder of the Lin family!" Mansheng stared at his eyes, and said resolutely and arrogantly, "Manager Lin, is it possible that a shareholder makes such a request, and you don't do it?" ”

……

Lin Yifan left in a hurry, and then Wei Rong slowly paced in.

In the conference room of Nuo University, Lin Mansheng is the only one now.

Wei Rong walked over and said, "How are you talking?" ”

"Sit down." "The chairman will be here soon, and it's time for you to meet your immediate boss." ”

"I thought," Wei Rong smiled sideways, "that your boss was the only one. ”

"Nominally?" Creeping laughed too.

Seeing her smile, Wei Rong said calmly, "Your reaction just now was more agile than I expected. "Who would have thought that such a man of great eloquence would be just a pampered daughter before this.

"Did you anticipate that there would be another director today?" Creep asked.

Faced with this, Wei Rong was very calm, "I already knew that it would not be so easy to pass." ”

"I'm sorry." Creeping apologizes.

"Why did you apologize this time?"

"With your ability, I would have wanted you to be the first independent director." But now that Lin Yifan is suppressed, it is bound to be not so stable in the future.

Wei Rong said, "The responsibility of independent directors is to maintain balance, and it is not about who is the first and who is the lower. So, you don't need to have any burden. ”

"Originally," he leaned back in his chair, lazy and casual, his eyes shining with a deep meaning, "I didn't sit here for this first, you know." ”

How can this person suddenly be indecent anywhere? Mansheng looked at the time and said, "Before the lunch break, the chairman will arrive." ”

"So, can you give me a science popularization about the situation that I will encounter after working in the company?"

"The situation is sudden, popular science is useless, practice is the key."

"And do you have anything interesting?"

"Why don't you tell me what kind of person is the chairman you are about to meet?" Wei Rong smiled and asked, "He is also your father, how does he treat you, he loves you very much?" ”

After a long silence, Mansheng just said, "He's a good father." ”

……

Sure enough, Father Lin and his entourage arrived at just as Mansheng said, it was close to the lunch break. Mansheng has been sitting and waiting here with Wei Rong, chatting without feeling that time is slow. It wasn't until someone pushed the door in that the topic stopped, "Miss, the chairman is here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mansheng saw a group of people coming in from outside, and she immediately got up and met her father.

At the same time, Wei Rong also stood up to greet him.

I haven't seen my father for a long time, and Mansheng still hasn't reacted, and he feels a little strange. The last time they met, it was in the Lin family's villa, no matter how she asked, but he still let Wen Shanglin take her away.

Thinking back to everything at that time, Mansheng even shouted a little jerky at the moment, and she couldn't shout "Dad".

Father Lin was helped in by Gao Changjing, and he was followed by his cronies and subordinates, as well as Lin Yifan, who arrived at the same time.

"The chairman has arrived, didn't you ask me to invite the chairman over? Now if you have anything to say, say it to him! Lin Yifan was in the back.

Mansheng thought about it, now in the company, it is time to talk about business, so she changed her words and said, "Chairman, let me introduce you, this is ......"

As soon as the words started, Mansheng stood there, and Father Lin had already approached, but suddenly, the person in front of him raised his hand. It was the crutch he was holding in his hand, and he smashed it at her—

Without warning, it smashed on Mansheng's body, making her frown in pain!

Wei Rong, who was standing on one side, also didn't expect it, this was not expected at all!

"Do you still have my dad in your eyes!" As soon as Father Lin spoke, he was full of anger, obviously on the way here, from the time he learned what had happened to this time, he could no longer restrain himself.

After the slap she received, she was stunned, I don't know if it was because of the pain in her body, or because of something else, in short, she just stood there at this moment.

"Jiadong!" Seeing that he was about to raise his crutches and beat him again, Gao Changjing hurriedly stopped him, "Don't be so angry, your blood pressure will rise like this!" This is the company, to educate the children, we will go home and educate again! ”

Lin Yifan was also on the side to persuade his father, "Dad, I told you a long time ago, let you not come." You have to come, in fact, what are you doing listening to her, and you are so angry! ”

"Big sister, is this the result you want?" Lin Yifan began to question, and Gao Changjing also said, "Mansheng, I didn't say you this time, you are really too unreasonable!" ”

"Jiadong?" Gao Changjing called out to Father Lin again, but it was estimated that he had come all the way, and his blood pressure had risen sharply, so he turned red and glared at Lin Mansheng with anger, but he couldn't speak again.

"I can't see it, let's go to the hospital first!" Gao Changjing immediately shouted, "Yifan, help your father to the hospital." ”

Lin Yifan hurriedly helped her up, and when she saw this, she came back to her senses and was about to step forward, "Dad......"

"No, use, you, help!" Although it was difficult, these words still came out of Father Lin's mouth resolutely, Mansheng's hand froze, Gao Changjing waved her away and said, "Mansheng, I think let's talk about things another day, don't come with you, your father in the province sees that your blood pressure is getting higher and higher!" ”

In a farce, Father Lin came and went in a hurry, and the stay was only ten minutes.

But there seems to be something, but it seems to have been left behind, and it seems to have been lost.

After the dispute, there was no one else in the conference room, only them, still standing there, still frozen in place.

In the middle of the night, someone walked up to her, and it was Wei Rong who asked, "Didn't you say that he was a good father?" ”

Where is such an extreme reaction?

But she only smiled, and the joy of the board's victory had long since faded, and she whispered, "I said so, but there is one more sentence that I have not finished." ”

She looked at the half-open door of the conference room, and the figure had long since disappeared, only the empty wind blew in.

Her father was indeed a good father, and he loved his children so much.

"But not for me." ”

Her eyes were locked with emotion, and her calm face seemed meaningless, but it was distinct, with deep scars.

Not only in the body, but also in the heart.

……

The top floor of Haitian Tower——

Mansheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and called the housekeeper Uncle Jiang to inquire about his father's physical condition. Uncle Jiang told her that her father had not returned yet, and if there was a situation, he would call her back, and if everything was fine, he would not tell her.

The phone hung up, still in his palm, and he looked into the distance, and behind him was he asked, "You still care so much about you." ”

Mansheng turned around and saw him sitting on the couch, which was still so empty, there was nothing, "He's my dad after all." ”

She said resignedly, her eyes calm, quiet to the point of tenderness that was almost pitiful.

Wei Rong got up and approached her.

As soon as his hand was raised, he coldly ripped off her clothes, and he was startled, he had already leaned over, and the warm lips fell on her shoulder, which was the sore spot of his father's cane just now.

It was his lips against her skin that said, "You know, scars are for kissing." ”
