674 Good Skill to Have (1/2)
”Xiulan, sit beside your brother Jian,” Long Tengfei said before taking his seat at the head of the table.
Iris obeyed and sat beside Long Jian, not noticing the disappointed expression on Long Jufang's face who initially intended on inviting her to sit beside him instead.
Long Tengfei checked his wristwatch and announced, ”It's time. Let's start the meeting.”
Everyone knew why the meeting was called today, so nobody beat around the bush.
”Our company's stock prices crashed overnight. We need to discuss strategies on how to recover as soon as possible,” the CFO said.
”Isn't it because our Deputy CFO did something scandalous that our stock prices crashed?” a board member said in a sardonic tone. ”He's the one who caused the problem in the first place so he should be the one to take responsibility and solve it.”
”And what do you suggest my deputy do to solve the problem?” the CFO asked.
”Simple. Present his resignation.”
”I object!” Long Meng glared at the board member. ”What a ridiculous suggestion!”
”Ridiculous? This is the simplest and the most effective solution. I guarantee that our stock prices will recover quickly once he resigns. Want to bet?”
”You!” Long Meng was furious.
”Grandaunt Meng, please calm down.” Now it was Long Hui's turn to whisper calming words to the elder.
The table erupted in great noise as people started talking over each other. One group supported the board member's idea and demanded for Long Hui's resignation while another group was in support of him and tried to defend him from the attackers. A neutral group tried to mediate and calm everyone down but to no avail.
”Enough!” Long Tengfei banged his hand on the table, instantly stopping the ruckus. Then he turned his strict eyes on his eldest son. ”Deputy CFO Long Hui, do you have anything to say for yourself?”
”Yes, President Long. I do. Please allow me to explain myself.”
”Alright. Go ahead.”
