These shareholders were also big shots in the Quan Corporation. They came together to ask to see him. Even Quan Jingzhou couldn’t ignore their existence. He had to fulfill his duty as a CEO and maintain a friendly relationship with the shareholders.
Quan Jingzhou guessed that they did not come in goodwill, but he still had to deal with them.
“Got it. I’ll go over now.” Quan Jingzhou stood up from his seat and buttoned his suit jacket. He strode out of the CEO’s office with a cold expression and walked towards the meeting room.
Quan Jingzhou waited for his secretary to open the door when he reached the entrance of the conference room. His lips curled into a smile as he walked inside, and he nodded at the shareholders.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Quan Jingzhou smiled and greeted the cold-faced shareholders.
One of them, a man who looked to be in his sixties, seemed to be the leading member of the group. He glanced at Quan Jingzhou from the corner of his eye and said calmly, “Jingzhou, you’ve always known your limits. What’s wrong with you these past few days? Why did you cause so much trouble? You’re making us uneasy.”
Quan Jingzhou’s eyes were cold, but his lips curled into an exceptionally gentle smile. “Uncle Dong, the corporation has indeed encountered a little trouble recently…”
“A little trouble? I’ve already asked the finance department. It’s all thanks to your two sons’ tireless efforts that it will be a miracle if the Quan Corporation can avoid any losses by the end of the year. All our hard work has been completely ruined by your eldest son and third son. This is a huge loss to the entire company!” Another shareholder in a gray suit said.
“Uncle He, you and Uncle Dong are both my elders. Back then, the two of you handed the corporation over to me because you believed in my abilities. I admit that I didn’t discipline my sons well. However, your so-called one year of hard work is my entire life’s hard work. As shareholders, you still need me to think of ways to make money for the company. There’s no need to make things sound so ugly.” Quan Jingzhou’s eyes did not fluctuate. The coldness on his lips dissipated a little. “As for the company’s losses, you don’t have to worry. I’ll make it up to you from my own pocket. My Quan family has a lot of resources, so this is nothing.”
Quan Jingzhou’s words were very arrogant, causing all the shareholders to narrow their eyes.
Mr. Dong was indeed the leader. He was the first to step forward and sneer. “Jingzhou, the Quan family is a hundred-year-old family. Of course, they have a lot of resources. You might not care about this small sum of money this year, but can you disregard continuous losses year after year? Not to mention Quan Yan’s stupid actions this time, your third son has been going against you. It will be very embarrassing for your Quan family if word gets out that your own son is trying to bring you down.”
“That’s right. Now that the news has spread, everyone is saying that you can’t even control your son. You’re being bullied by your son…”
Quan Jingzhou’s sharp gaze immediately swept over him before Mr. He could finish speaking.
Mr. He immediately fell silent and stammered. “I’m saying this for your own good. Otherwise, it’s the Quan family’s reputation that will be at stake if word gets out.”
“Uncle He, it’s my personal family matter. You don’t have to intervene.” Quan Jingzhou warned him firmly.
