The young director’s rebuttal was not without rit; what if Shi Lan’s mother’s interference swiftly led the Shi Family into bankruptcy?
"I don’t want to gamble."
"Neither do I."
"I too..."
The other directors promptly expressed their stance, and the situation in the boardroom was evidently unfavorable for Shi Lan’s mother. Just when Shi Lan was ready to make her move, however, she suddenly heard her mother laugh.
So Shi Lan took a step back that she had initially moved forward.
"Fine, you choose soone to take over managent rights of the Shi Family, but I have one condition before that. Although Shi Lan is no longer here, Yan Shixiu is bound by duty to support when he inherits Shi Lan’s estate. So, if the manager you choose does not et your expectations and revitalize the Shi Family, and nobody is there to fix these setbacks, I have Shuangshi as backup."
"So, decide whether giving control to is riskier, or choosing another manager is," she told them.
Upon hearing her mother’s words, Shi Lan secretly chuckled.
She has improved a lot, already learning to use advantageous conditions to negotiate.
Of course, the proposition thrown by her mother once again plunged the directors into turmoil. Having Shuangshi’s support was like having a life-saving permit which also allowed them the chance to make mistakes. If they really did replace the current chair, and the Shi Family collapsed, it would truly be gone.
"I’ll give you half an hour to decide, I’ll step out to touch up my makeup in the anti," she said.
With that, Shi Lan’s mother rose from her office chair and left the eting room with Shi Lan.
Good, she’s even employing psychological tactics now.
Now, it was ti for them to speak their minds and reach a consensus.
As Shi Lan’s mother anticipated, the boardroom erupted into noise again.
Guided by the principle of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, this ti, the majority of directors sided with Shi Lan’s mother.
Although they often belittled Shuangshi, its achievents were there for all to see. With such a support, even if the Shi Family reached a dead end, it would not run out of oil.
"Do you really believe her nonsense? Did Yan Shixiu say he would help the Shi Family? What if the support only amounts to living expenses?" the young director said in a fiery tone.
"Whatever the form of support Yan Shixiu ntioned, at least the lady has a ground to negotiate with Shuangshi, which others surely wouldn’t," an older director replied.
"Fine, even if that’s the case, how can you be so sure that a new chair won’t bring the Shi Family back to life?"
"And how can you guarantee that he will manage to revive it? Isn’t the risk much higher than before?" the older directors retorted. "I think, one year is worth the gamble."
"Madn! You are all madn!" Exasperated, the young director stord out of the eting.
Shi Lan’s mother was not in a hurry and leisurely returned to the conference room after half an hour before asking everyone for their decisions.
"Have you all reached a conclusion?"
At that mont, Shi Lan also took the opportunity to speak, "Then, directors in favor of betting on the lady for a year, please cast your votes."
There were seventeen shareholders present and, including the young shareholder, that made eighteen.
Everyone thought he had left for good, but although resentful, he still returned to the conference room after cooling down.
"Fine, I’ll give you this chance. I really want to see what thods the lady can employ to resurrect the Shi Family!"
