Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Under Zhao Youlin’s gaze, the man’s voice grew increasingly softer, and eventually, he was silenced.

Zhao Youlin cast a glance at the person. “The company does have its own policy. If the funding of an activity surpasses the limit stated, the amount needs to be approved by all the management at a higher level.”

How could these people not understand the hint from Zhao Youlin’s words? If she wanted to seek approval for the fund that had exceeded the limit from the management of a higher level, she was actually referring to Zhao Shunrong. Judging from her relationship with Zhao Shunrong, once the fund had been approved, these people would take advantage of this opportunity to discuss the topic. If that was the case, what was the difference between now and asking Zhao Shunrong to make the decision from the beginning?

Unfortunately, these people seemed to have underestimated her.

As Zhao Youlin thought of this, she could not help but raise one of her eyebrows in a mocking manner and smirked, “However, if I remember correctly, the company still has other rules. If the event planner could pull in more sponsors to invest in the stock, he could take five percent of the funds invested by the investor to use it on the activity. By doing so, he could make up for the previous exceeding fund and need not report.”

The person was stunned. He said with careful deliberation, “Indeed, there’s such a rule. But…”

“That’s it. It’ll be good to know that we do have such a rule.” Zhao Youlin immediately interrupted the person. She took a very heavy document from Xiao Jingyao and flung it across the table. “The inside of these documents contain several contracts from new companies who have invested in the stocks. The funds drawn out from them could add up to eight million dollars. If I remember correctly, Chief Zhao’s proposal also requires eight million dollars, right? If I top up this fund on my foundation, I believe it could make up for the funds on my part, right?”

Right after Zhao Youlin spoke, the entire meeting room started to stir into a discussion. If Zhao Youlin was able to pull out five percent from the investment fund which was eight million dollars, in other words, the sponsors whom Zhao Youlin had pulled in had invested at least two hundred million dollars! Which sponsors were so rich and generous to invest that much? They could simply kill someone just by flinging money at them!

Zhao Youlin seemed to have read the crowd’s mind. She smiled faintly. She stretched out her finger and pointed to a document placed at the top as she said, “Oh, by the way, I forget to mention that a lot of people over here have signed the contract because they show their respect for me. For instance, in order to increase the investment amount from Ye Group, it has taken me much effort to persuade them.”

Zhao Youlin’s words were akin to reminding the crowd in another way that these contracts had been nailed down by her. Those people had signed the contracts all because they gave their honor to her. If the crowd were to say a no and refute her proposal, the contracts would be in vain.

In other words, they had better weighed the cost and benefits on their own.

Moreover, Zhao Youlin deliberately mentioned Ye Group because the third young master of the Ye family who had courted Zhao Youlin before was now the head of the Ye family.

The Ye Group was one of the four greatest families. If they were willing to invest in this project, the invested amount would certainly be huge. This, of course, was all because they gave their respects to Zhao Youlin. Once Zhao Youlin’s proposal was refuted, the contract would undoubtedly be taken back. Besides, they would also offend the Ye family because of this.

Given two options between earning peanuts of profit and offending the Ye family that would result in losing a huge investment fund, most people knew well in their hearts how to weigh the situation.

For a moment, a majority of people looked like their faith was shaken slightly.

Xiao Jingyao stood behind Zhao Youlin. Upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, he could not help but push back the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He lowered his head. The reflection of the mirror of his glasses had covered the twitches of the corners of his lips.

‘What do you mean by putting a lot of effort in persuasion? General Manager, are you sure you’ve put in even the slightest bit of effort in persuasion? He has clearly handed this over to you!’

Zhao Youming furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the expressions of the crowd in the meeting who looked like their faith was shaken. He had never thought Zhao Youlin would use this trick. He had truly underestimated her.

As he shifted his gaze and looked at Zhao Youlin who was at her main seat, he was surprised to find that at that moment, Zhao Youlin was also staring at him.

Their gazes met each other. Zhao Youming clearly felt the hint of mockery and scorn from Zhao Youlin’s eyes. His heart clutched. He subconsciously clenched his hands that were placed under the office table so tight that blood almost spurted out.

Regardless of Ye Yan or Mu Tingfeng, he thought that with Zhao Youlin’s conditions, it was totally impossible for these two men to court her, much less her using the main family’s power. The gossip spread before this seemed iffy, perhaps certain people had merely passed on the rumors.

Who would have thought that he would get slapped by Zhao Youlin mercilessly in his face today?! Darn it. What charm did this woman have to the extent of attracting the third young master of the Ye family? Apparently… apparently, she was only a wimp who could not fight back nor scold back and could be manipulated by others. She was an abandoned, tainted woman!

Zhao Youlin cast a glance across the crowd. She still had not had enough of it. Just when she was about to reveal her strongest weapon, the door of the meeting room opened all of a sudden.

Inside the meeting room, the crowd’s attention was immediately distracted upon hearing the commotion. Soon, they saw a young lady whose face had turned red peeked out from outside the meeting room.

Her expression quickly changed when she saw so many people inside the meeting room looking at her. She was scared to death. She gritted her teeth, lowered her head as she dashed over to Zhao Youlin and her group.

“Li?” When Zhao Youlin saw her coming over, she could not help but frown. A hint of worry flashed across her eyes. Although she knew that Li was retarded, she certainly would not simply run over here to disrupt them, except… there was something urgent.

Li came close to Xiao Jingyao and whispered in his ear. Xiao Jingyao’s expression changed slightly. He nodded his head at Li before he walked to Zhao Youlin’s side and spoke in a volume where only the two of them could hear, “General Manager, the president and general manager of Sheng Huang Group are waiting for you at your office. They have something urgent which they prefer to talk to you in private.”

“Sheng Huang Group?” Zhao Youlin was stupefied. Sheng Huang Group and Sheng Shi Group only differed by one word, yet they were two completely different companies.

Sheng Shi Group had only focused on stocks and securities which were part of financial bonds. However, Sheng Huang Group was different. This company expanded its businesses in various directions and industries including entertainment, food and beverage, finance and even property development. Compared to Sheng Huang Group, Sheng Shi Group was only a drop in the ocean which was considered nothing.

Even Zhao Enterprise was inferior to Sheng Huang Group. The company had the money. As such, they could invest in any industry that they desire and earn a lot of money!

Why would the president and general manager of such a company look for her? If she had remembered correctly, she never had any past dealings with this company.
