After a moment of stalemate, Lu Jiayi gave in, she knew that the man in front of her was just a businessman, just the president of Yi's Group, and just the big boss of Cosini.

Whether it was before or in the future, Yi Zecheng will always be the man she Lu Jiayi can't love, and it will always be the man who makes her unable to have hopes.

Lu Jiayi was relieved, slowly pushed away the noodle bowl in front of her, and got up from the chair.

Yi Zecheng didn't move, but his gaze moved with her movements.

"Mr. Yi, thank you for your face, and thank you for taking care of me," she suddenly lowered her head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "To be honest, there was a moment just now, I thought a little too much, if you must give up Cosini, I will no longer persuade you, I am not qualified to do this myself, but I will not, I will, I will do it, because it is not just my dream." ”

She paused, then looked up at Yi Zecheng in front of her, his eyes were deep, just like him back then, he still only glanced at it, and he taught people to fall in, and he couldn't climb out again.

She suddenly felt more relaxed than ever, "Yi Zecheng, after so many years, I thought you had changed, but I found that I was wrong, I was the only one who changed, you have been staying where you are, I have changed a lot from my teens to now, my thoughts have changed a lot, I have done things, and the goals I have set have changed a lot, but now, I know that I will never give up on this matter, and the only self-esteem and stubbornness that remains at this point will never change, I still have something to do, I will go first." ”

Then, Lu Jiayi got up and walked to the entrance without hesitation, put on her shoes, and at the moment when she reached out and held the doorknob and was about to push the door open, Yi Zecheng's voice came from behind her, it was still the usual subwoofer, but it was mixed with a bit of seriousness, and even more alienated and indifferent than before.

"You take the plate of Cosini, without Yi's support, it means that you can no longer do the design you want to do unscrupulously, you need to compromise, are you ready?"

Lu Jiayi bit her lower lip, "Mr. Yi, don't bother you." ”

Then she turned and left without looking back.

……

After Lu Jiayi left, only Yi Zecheng was left in the whole room, and this was the first time he felt that this room seemed extremely empty.

His brow furrowed, his fingers sliding over the rim of the cup, but his mind couldn't help but think back to what had happened yesterday since he returned to the company from the cemetery.

As soon as he came out of the cemetery, he returned to the company because the shareholders suddenly held a board meeting.

By the time he arrived in the conference room, everyone had already arrived.

As soon as he entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Yi's is a family business, and most of the shareholders are side branches of Yi's, and because of this, shareholders' meetings will not be held unless it is important, such as the removal of the president.

Today's shareholders' meeting came a little unexpectedly, especially at the moment when he pushed the door open, the serious expressions on everyone's faces made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

So, after being stunned for two seconds, he immediately collected his original sad mood and sat down at the conference table.

"Today, the shareholders are holding a general meeting of shareholders, is there anything important to discuss?"

Sitting on the edge of the rostrum of the conference table, a middle-aged man with gray hair showed an elder's kind smile and said: "My nephew, I summoned all the shareholders to a meeting today, and I really want to discuss something with you. ”

The middle-aged man who spoke was named Zhu Wenchao, who had been a friend of Yi Zecheng's father for many years, and the two families were also world friends.

In addition to the fact that their Yi family holds 43% of the shares in the Yi family and becomes the largest shareholder of the Yi family, it is their Zhu family that holds the largest shares in the Yi family.

Speaking of which, Yi's Group was founded by Yi Zecheng's father and Zhu Wenchao, and belongs to the founding heroes.

When his father was still alive, the relationship between the two families had always been very good, and he was usually called like this by his nephew until his father died, giving way to Yi Zecheng.

When Yi Zecheng became the CEO of Yi's, he was only 25 years old.

In fact, in terms of qualifications, age, experience, and contribution to the company, if Zhu Wenchao is the second, no one can say the first.

Originally, he was the candidate for CEO in everyone's mind, but because of the final shareholder vote and the highest proportion of shares held by Yijia, he became the chief executive officer.

Therefore, the Zhu family has always complained about this.

If it weren't for Yi Zecheng's ascension to power, he made a few decent projects that made Yi's shareholders make a lot of money, he would have been impeached and removed from office long ago, and it would have been impossible for him to stay until today.

In fact, the Zhu family's dissatisfaction with their Yi family is not limited to these.

When Zhu Wenchao and Yi Zecheng's father founded the group together, Yi's was not called Yi's at that time, but also called Huayu International.

Later, the reason why the name was changed to Yi was not only because of the increase in the proportion of shares held by the Yi family, but also because Zhu Wenchao betrayed his father and betrayed the entire group at that time.

At that time, it was a critical moment for the company to go public, when the company had a strong opponent, that is, Donghua Group, the strength of the two groups was about the same, the establishment time was about the same, all belonged to the leading boss, at that time, Donghua was also busy listing, at the same time, the two companies were competing for the same piece of land, once the land was won, whether it was for the company's listing or for the company's future development, it was all beneficial and harmless.

At this critical moment, Zhu Wenchao leaked the company's reserve price to his opponent, resulting in a failed bid.

Zhu Wenchao lost everything because he was set up to gamble in Macau, and he almost couldn't come back, and with the help of the people on the Donghua side, he was lucky to be able to come back from Macau, and the only requirement for the other party to help him was to hope that he could reveal the reserve price of the bid in advance.

Originally, this matter was to make everyone know, Zhu Wenchao was going to be expelled from the company, but after years of friendship, his father decided to let him go, took all the things for him, took back part of the equity in his hands, and officially changed the name of Huayu to Yi's before going public, in order to remind Zhu Wenchao all the time that he was ashamed of the company and their Yi family.

The shareholders didn't know about this matter, and Yi Zecheng only found out about it when he accidentally cut the diary written by his father when he was sorting out his father's relics.

However, Zhu Wenchao was indeed grateful to the Yi family at first, but as time went by, as the Yi family's business expanded, their ambitions became bigger and bigger, and they began to be dissatisfied with the Yi family and only have the surname Yi, and did not want the Yi family to become hereditary.

Therefore, he also recommended his son to join Yi's shareholders' meeting, but Yi Zecheng refused.

In fact, for Yi Zecheng, he doesn't care who enters the board of directors, as long as his talent matches his position, he naturally has nothing to say and is convinced.

However, Zhu Wenchao's son, as soon as he entered the company, wanted to enter the board of directors, which was really unworthy.

Zhu Wenchao's son is named Zhu Zekai, who just graduated from college this year and is a returnee.

When he was abroad, he studied finance and management, and theoretically speaking, although he was inexperienced, at least, he was a professional counterpart.

As a result, when Yi Zecheng investigated, he found that Zhu Wenchao, his son, did not study hard at all during the years when he studied abroad, often failed his subjects, and did not even go to class, and he was simply a rich second generation who had nothing to do and was discouraged.

He was able to graduate smoothly, thanks to his father, Zhu Wenchao, who was outside.

Such a gentleman who doesn't know anything, he can't even reach the threshold of entering the Yi family, let alone directly enter the board of directors.

For Yi Zecheng, what he values has never been the interests of his Yi family, but the interests of the entire Yi family and the entire company.

Although, most people don't believe it.

Therefore, Zhu Wenchao's desire to let his son enter the board of directors is simply Sima Zhao's heart.

Moreover, he has always hated nepotism the most and went through the back door, so when Zhu Wenchao tried to persuade him with the friendship of his elders and years of contribution to the company, he still resolutely refused.

Probably because of this, Zhu Wenchao held a grudge, which led to today's panicked shareholders' meeting.

In fact, from the moment Yi Zecheng stepped into the conference room, he knew that this was not an ordinary shareholders' meeting at all, this was a Hongmen banquet.

These people must be planning something, just waiting for themselves to jump down.

Yi Zecheng has been fighting in the mall for so many years, and he is not the boy who didn't know anything back then, and it is not so easy to get anything cheap from him.

Yi Zecheng raised his eyes and smiled slightly, "Zhu Shibo, you are serious, you are not only the major shareholder of the Yi family, but also my elder, if you have anything to say, just say it, as a junior, you will naturally accept it with an open mind." ”

Zhu Wenchao laughed twice, "Nephew, since you have said so, I will say it directly, in fact, today, several of our directors held a shareholders' meeting, mainly because there are two things, one is about the scandal you had before. ”

When Yi Zecheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, sure enough, he would talk about this.

Zhu Wenchao glanced at the shareholders, and then continued: "Nephew, you also know that the scale of our company is getting bigger and bigger, the so-called big tree, many competitors are waiting to catch our company's handle, you as the company's executive president, your personal image is particularly important to our company, so, although this scandal has not caused any loss to the company at the moment, but after all, it is a hidden danger, you see, how do you plan to deal with it." ”

The corners of Yi Zecheng's mouth rose slightly, "I have already dealt with this matter, I am sorry for my personal reasons, let the shareholders work tirelessly to open the board of directors, about the scandal, since it is all a scandal, naturally there is no need to continue to discuss, as for those photos, I have already found someone to delete them, as the president, I naturally have to practice to avoid similar things in the future, but," he paused, "In addition to me, the CEO represents the image of the group, all the shareholders here, It also represents the image of our Yi's, so please also ask all shareholders to follow their own example and lead by example, Zhu Shibo, you say yes. By the way, I suddenly remembered that Aunt Zhu seems to have divorced Zhu Shibo, I've been too busy lately, and I don't have time to take a look at Aunt Zhu, Zhu Shibo, you shouldn't care. ”

After speaking, Yi Zecheng also deliberately looked at Zhu Wenchao.

Zhu Wenchao's face suddenly turned red and white, originally wanted to convey to the directors present that the company's president misbehaved and affected the company's image, but he didn't expect to cause trouble and provoke the fire.

His fists clenched in.

Looking at Zhu Wenchao's deflated appearance, Yi Zecheng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Compared with his own lace news, it is this Zhu Wenchao's affair that is more dark about the group.

After all, everyone knows that Yi Zecheng, the president of Yi's Group, is the fifth king of diamonds, and he is amorous, which can be regarded as a gimmick.

And Zhu Wenchao is different, he has always appeared in the media as a happy family and a good family man.

But recently, he was photographed by the paparazzi going to the hotel to open a room with a strange young and beautiful woman at midnight.

As soon as the news broke out, it attracted the attention of the majority of netizens, and for a while, Yi's stock price fell a lot.

Compared with the romantic past of a golden bachelor, a good man becomes a scumbag who steps on two boats in seconds, which is more likely to arouse the anger of the majority of netizens.

In the end, Yi Zecheng came forward to settle the matter, and Zhu Wenchao also divorced his wife, waiting for the limelight to pass.

Therefore, when the other party talks about his private life first, he naturally will not show mercy.

After being embarrassed for a few seconds, Yi Zecheng asked again: "Shibo, what is one more thing?" ”

Zhu Wenchao had long wanted to change the topic, and when he saw Yi Zecheng speaking first, he immediately understood that this was the other party giving him the steps, if he didn't climb down the steps at this time, it would make people think that he was stingy, and the elders bullied the juniors.

"There's another thing about Cosini."

At the mention of Cosini, Yi Zecheng's face changed slightly, and when everyone was not paying attention, his brows frowned slightly, and then returned to normal.

"What happened to Cosini?"

"Nephew, Yi's has many subsidiaries and studios, but Cosini is the most expensive. Although I don't know enough about the clothing industry, however, I also know that it is not a very simple and easy thing to insist on being original this year, most of the so-called studios that insist on originality and shouting about originality have inadvertently begun to conform to the market, so there is no way out for insisting on originality in these years, I have looked at Cosini's financial statements in the past few months, although I have received a good order, but the cost is very high, and it has been in deficit, nephew, I know that you have always had a unique vision of investmentHowever, the company can't always lose money to do business, what do you think about this, nephew? ”

Yi Zecheng was silent for a moment, how could he not know Cosini's deficit, in this era, how difficult it is to be original, he naturally understands.

But compared to these things, he knows Lu Jiayi better.

He witnessed her stay up late again and again to design, staying up late to meet with everyone in the studio until the early hours of the morning, just to discuss what kind of fabric to use.

For her, if she is asked to give up her originality to play for those so-called big names, it is like poking her in the backbone.

He had never seen her do something so seriously, so, no matter what, he had to protect her dream for her.

"Yes, although Cosini is indeed in the deficit, but I believe that in this era, originality will go further, I believe in our designers, I also believe in their team, when I chose to invest in this industry, I was ready to lose money, but I know that I will not always lose money, because as long as we stick to it, have a good enough design, adhere to the original concept, we will definitely be profitable, our vision must be long-term, We can't just focus on these small profits offline and give up the future benefits. ”

"But the future benefits, we can't predict, as a businessman, the only thing we can do is to stop the loss in time, because Cosini's current losses have exceeded the plan set at that time, so we must stop."

Yi Zecheng's brows furrowed tightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's raise your hands to vote, and agree with Cosini's continued operation." ”

As soon as the words ended, all the shareholders sitting underground looked at each other, whispered, and in the end, there were only a few votes in favor.

Zhu Wenchao was obviously happy to see such a situation, and he was overjoyed in his heart, "Since the directors have all voted, please make a final choice." ”

Looking at the irrepressible smile on Zhu Wenchao's face, Yi Zecheng's hands clenched, and he realized that mentioning his private life was not the point at all, and wanting to give up Cosini was his focus.

Presumably, he must have been fully prepared before proposing to hold a board meeting, and even went to investigate Cosini and Lu Jiayi.

"Now that the directors have voted by a show of hands, as the president of Yi's and the investor of Cosini, we officially announce that we will cancel all financial support for Cosini with immediate effect."

"Mr. Yi really understands the righteousness."

"The two topics have been discussed, I don't know what else Director Zhu has to do?"

Zhu Wenchao smiled, "No, everyone can dismiss the meeting." ”

"In that case, let's dismiss the meeting."

As soon as the words fell, the directors sitting at the bottom got up and left the conference room, and when Zhu Wenchao turned around to leave the conference room, Yi Zecheng stopped him.

"Dong Zhu, please stay."

"I don't know what else my nephew wants to say?"

Zhu Wenchao stopped in place, still with a smug smile on his face.

Yi Zecheng slowly got up from the chair, approached his side, and whispered in his ear: "A moment of pride is nothing, the one who laughs last is the winner, but unfortunately, I won't give people two chances to be proud." ”

Then he left the conference room without looking back.
