Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Chapter 285 - Mo Yuanxiu Is Important in Interlocking Stratagems (10)

The board of directors would surely make things difficult for her in many ways, and she was already mentally prepared.

Lu Manman packed her things and entered the huge conference room.

In the conference room, several board members, including her father, were seated, while she sat in a remote corner.

“I heard you’re looking for a new spokesperson?” Wei Guoqing asked. He was always opinionated about her.

“Yes.”

“Do you know how much the spokesperson costs?”

“I know.”

“How could you still find one despite knowing that?! Lu Manman, you’re a rich second-generation heir, after all. You don’t treat the company’s money as money, right?!” Wei Guoqing’s face was full of sarcasm, and he said disdainfully, “I told you to increase your turnover by five to eight percent, not for you to play around with our money! Jiang Xiaolian’s endorsement is going well, but you actually want to change her?!”

“Businesses are developing, and we need to innovate. What people need is freshness, not consistency. Lu Firm has been following the rules all these years,” Lu Manman said directly.

“Lu Manman! Are you saying that so many of us shareholders have done nothing all these years?!” Wei Guoqing was fuming.

“I’m not denying any of your achievements. Lu Firm is still the leading company in Wen City, and that’s enough to show that Lu Firm is still developing over the years. What I want to express is that Lu Firm needs fresh blood and innovation! We can’t stand by and do nothing. It’ll make us seem passive. We need to lead the times!” Lu Manman said.

“You?!” Wei Guoqing scoffed.

“With all of us!” Lu Manman corrected him.

Wei Guoqing scoffed.

“Jiang Xiaolian’s endorsement fee is in the eight digits, and it’s increasing every year,” Lu Manman said. “And the endorsement fee I’m looking for won’t exceed seven digits. This is a huge expense.”

“Then, what about the penalty?” Wei Guoqing asked. “We’ve just signed a three-year contract with Jiang Xiaolian. Have you thought about how much it will cost to cancel the contract?!”

“I’ll handle it.”

“You?” Wei Guoqing scoffed. “How are you going to handle this?!”

“I’ll give you an answer in half a month.”

“Aren’t you being too arrogant, Lu Manman! You said that you would increase your market share in three months, but I haven’t seen any progress on your part. You haven’t even entered the base station, much less market it!”

I guarantee that I’ll settle it in three months. When three months are up, I’ll resign if it doesn’t work out.”

“Okay, that’s all for now,” Lu Zishan suddenly said. “No matter what, Lu Firm really needs to innovate. Although we have stabilized our development in Wen City over the years, I have to say that we have indeed been slower than before. Since young people have their own ideas, give her some time to try it out.”

“You’re still protecting her!” Wei Guoqing growled.

“If your son wants to enter the company, I will give him the same treatment,” Lu Zishan said magnanimously.

Wei Guoqing’s expression darkened.

Everyone knew that his son was a good-for-nothing.

The atmosphere among the board of directors was not good.

Lu Zishan said generously, “We’ll see how it turns out in three months. Before that, all the board members are not allowed to interfere with Lu Manman’s decisions for the time being. If we don’t meet our expectations in three months, I, Lu Zishan, will fork out my own money to compensate for the losses Lu Manman has caused to the company.”

All the other board members shut up.

Although Wei Guoqing was uncomfortable, he did not probe further since Lu Zishan had already put it that way.

Lu Manman smiled at him gratefully.

Lu Zishan smiled kindly at him. “Meeting adjourned.”

Everyone left.

Lu Manman returned to the office.

Jiang Xiaolian…

She had lived seven more years than others.

In these seven years, she had more information than anyone else!

Just then, her cell phone rang.

Lu Manman looked at the caller ID and hurriedly picked it up. “Dad.”

“Manman,” Mo Kun said. “The dinner tonight is at six-thirty. We’ve agreed on it.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

“You’re welcome. We’re family. Dad will do his best to help you wherever possible.”

“Sorry to make things difficult for you,” Lu Manman said sincerely.

“We’re family. Let’s not talk too much about it.” Mo Kun was extremely kind and said, “Manman, don’t bring anyone else with you tonight. Liu Quanzhong is a cautious person and doesn’t want to be too high-profile.”

“I know.”

“Then, I won’t disturb you at work.”

“Bye.”

Lu Manman hung up.

She had to admit that Mo Yuanxiu’s parents had left a good impression on her. Compared to Wen Yun’s parents…

They were simply incomparable.

Her eyes flickered, and she got to work.

It was only when it was time to knock off that Lu Manman got off work on time, afraid of wasting time.

When she got downstairs, Qin Ao’s car was not around. Instead, Mo Yuanxiu’s car window was rolled down.

He seemed to be waiting for her.

She paused for a while, then walked over. “Where’s Qin Ao?”

“We can’t let him not take a leave in the entire year!”
