PFC Chapter 314 Crazy
Chapter 314 Crazy
"Tan Rong, you're not lying to us, are you?"
"That's right, even Mr. Ye isn't answering your calls. Can you even handle the company's problems? If you can't, you should step down as soon as possible. I'm not kidding you; I'm giving you my all. Honestly, I didn't agree to you taking over as acting president in the first place. Can a young girl manage a company? Mr. Tan is really grasping at straws."
"Is this Mr. Ye's phone number? You're not staging this yourself, are you? Our company's stock is about to hit the daily limit down. This is no time for jokes. Just this afternoon, some shareholders were even threatening to jump off buildings. Do you know how many people are watching our company right now? If we don't handle this properly, we're all finished."
One question after another arose.
Tan Rong's face turned pale and then red. Looking at the faces in front of her, each one full of accusations, even the elders who were usually kind and gentle to her had become hideous and ugly when their interests were at stake. She took a deep breath, feeling extremely anxious, but she knew that the more this was the case, the more she could not show weakness.
"You are all my uncles and elders. This company is the result of my father's hard work. How could I joke about my father's hard work? Don't worry, I'm not lying. Boss Ye did promise to transfer the management of his properties to our company. I believe he would not lie to me. He must be busy right now. Yes, Boss Ye must be busy right now, which is why he didn't answer the phone immediately. I will call Boss Ye again in a while, and he will definitely give me a satisfactory answer."
Tan Rong made a serious promise, while the other shareholders around him exchanged glances. Although they still had doubts about Tan Rong's words, at this point, they could only try their luck.
"Okay, we'll trust you this one more time. Just today. If you can't reach an agreement with Mr. Ye by today, we'll hold a shareholders' meeting first thing tomorrow morning."
As for the content of the shareholders' meeting, Tan Rong knew without them telling her. Her expression changed, she bit her lip tightly, and her deep gaze swept across everyone's faces. Her hoarse voice was filled with sorrow.
"Uncles and elders have been by my father's side for so long, and my father has not treated you all badly, right? Why have you become so aggressive now that my father has run into trouble? I know that I was too eager for quick success in the cooperation with Pengcheng Real Estate, but I was also thinking about the company and wanted to fight for the greatest benefit for the company. Now that the negotiations have failed, is it not right for you to be so eager to make me step down?"
Those who knew the inside story sneered as Tan Rong spoke as if it were all for their benefit and the company's. They stared at Tan Rong with murderous intent, each word laced with sarcasm.
"To secure the company's greatest interests? As far as I know, you had your eye on Cheng Shuyan and wanted to take advantage of his misfortune, but you were rejected, which is why you broke up with him."
The others nodded in agreement, and their faces were not very pleasant to be criticized by Tan Rong, a junior.
"Moreover, it was our negligence in management. Pengcheng Real Estate gave us a month's grace period and didn't expose the dirty deeds of our subordinates. That's more than enough. Who knew you would have to be so foolish and think of something? Did you discuss these things with us beforehand? We're only giving you time to make amends because of President Tan. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to get into the company now."
Tan Rong's expression was uncertain. She had originally planned to use moral blackmail to shift all the responsibility, but who knew that these old foxes were as clear-headed as a mirror and would not suffer any loss. She gritted her teeth and could only repeatedly assure them that Ye Chengyan would not stand them up and that she would handle this crisis properly and would not threaten the company's interests before they left.
After those old foxes left, Tan Rong angrily slammed the only surviving laptop on the table to the ground. She gripped the corner of the table tightly with both hands, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged from the force. Her expression was ferocious, and she looked like a demon crawling out of hell. She gritted her teeth and said, "Cheng Shuyan, I will never let you go."
Tan Rong looked as if he wanted to skin Cheng Shuyan alive.
Thinking of the threats from those old geezers, she could only swallow her anger and pick up her phone to continue calling Ye Chengyan. One call, two calls… On the twentieth call, the other end finally answered. After the call connected, Ye Chengyan's impatient voice came from the other end, “Hello?”
"Mr. Ye, this is Tan Rong, the current acting president of the Tan Group. Didn't you tell me a while ago that as long as I caused trouble for Cheng Shuyan, you would hand over the management of your company's residential properties to our company? Mr. Ye, I have already done as you said and started causing trouble for Cheng Shuyan. I wonder when you will keep your promise..."
Tan Rong adopted the lowest possible stance. In the entire Hai City, only Ye Chengyan could rival Cheng Shuyan. If she offended Ye Chengyan, she and the Tan family could really be kicked out of Hai City. If that happened, wouldn't those old geezers tear her apart?
Once the company recovers, she won't let any of those who came to cause her trouble today get away with it. She'll settle accounts with them one by one then; she'll have plenty of time then.
But what Ye Chengyan said next made Tan Rong feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"When did I ever say such a thing?"
Tan Rong's expression changed, and his voice trembled with panic, "Mr. Ye, you must be joking. It was just a couple of days ago when you called me and said it, Mr. Ye..."
What if the banquet organizers refuse to acknowledge the affair?
Tan Rong was devastated to realize that if Ye Chengyan didn't admit it, she really couldn't do anything about it. At this moment, she just wanted to slap herself for not recording the phone call to preserve evidence. If she had evidence, Ye Chengyan wouldn't have been able to deny it even if he wanted to.
"Miss Tan, I was just joking." Ye Chengyan leaned back lazily in his office chair on the other end of the phone, a cigar between his long, slender fingers. He straightened up slightly and flicked the ash, his captivating eyes filled with coldness and mockery. Of course he remembered Tan Rong; after all, there weren't many people in this world as stupid as her.
Ye Chengyan did indeed intend to have Tan Rong cause trouble for Cheng Shuyan, and ideally, to use Tan Rong to sow discord between Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi. But who knew that this fool would squander such a good hand, practically handing his own lifeline to Cheng Shuyan.
Ye Chengyan originally didn't want to answer the call, but she kept calling anyway, oblivious to the situation.
