Chapter 42 An Uncle Who Took Pleasure In Other's Misfortune
"Well, I think we all know what the lady said just now. The YS Group wouldn't explain too much about this matter in the future. The press conference is over now. Thank you for coming. The staff in the back hall will receive you later... "
Saying the last sentence on the stage, Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the work she had been through these days was not so many as it should be, which made her feel relieved.
In the spacious office, Greg turned off the tablet PC and stood by the window, looking at the scenery in the distance meaningfully.
Actually, Victor knew very well who caused the allergy. But he couldn't find evidence.
On the other hand, Victor felt that Sophia had helped him wholeheartedly to clarify his "allergic problem" today, which made him suddenly have a better impression of Sophia. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Thinking Sophia had done in the company these days, Victor could tell that she was not just a good- looking woman with good looks. 'How many faces of this woman I haven't discovered?' The corners of Victor's mouth involuntarily rose slightly, revealing a bright smile. Sophia was interesting.
It took Sophia a long time to pack all the papers and get back to the company to report this event to Victor.
However, when she just walked out of the hotel, she suddenly realized that this man who tried her best to help him was only a contractual relationship to her. In other words, he was just a bed partner. Besides, Rita was beside him. They just took what they needed and didn't have anything else to do with each other.
Suddenly, Sophia looked a little depressed. The excitement she had had before was all gone.
Sophia got back to the company unwittingly. When she recovered from her thought, she had already walked into Victor's office.
"Well done, Sophia."
Standing in front of the window and hearing the footsteps, Victor turned around to take a look at her and then looked outside.
"That's what I should do." Her mind was a mess, so Sophia answered coldly.
It never occurred to Victor that Sophia would be so cold to him. Although upset, he didn't say anything.
Although the problem of allergy was solved, it had a great impact on the market and the YS Group was more or less lost. At the same time, the YS Group's competitor, the Mu group, also launched a more novel product.
"Mr. Jeremy, our products have been greatly praised after they are on the market this time. I dare say that in another two or three days, they can replace the old products of the YS Group completely."
Jeremy's secretary followed him to report the sales situation of the product after it was listed. He also admired the wisdom of this man. When reporting, he deliberately stressed the word "old product". Because the YS Group's products couldn't keep up.
Although the new product was the better version of the YS Group, before it was launched on the market, the secretary was really worried about the sales situation for Jeremy.
After all, the YS Group had a strong foundation, and its reputation was increasing. It was definitely a big bet to choose the latest products at this time. Even Jeremy, who was on par with Victor, might not guarantee that the new products would be better than the old ones after they were listed.
However, the YS Group had a crisis. It lost the market and new clients' trust. It meant that the Mu Group was trying to seize the opportunity!
Sure enough, Mr. Jeremy took advantage of this opportunity to make new products come into the market and make most of the market income.
The Mu Group was really enjoying the "allergic" thing this time.
"But Mr. Jeremy, there's one thing I don't understand."
Jeremy, who had been reading the report in front of him, stopped and looked back at his secretary.
The secretary looked at the man in front of him and for a moment lost in thought.
In terms of appearance, the man standing in front of him was totally different from Victor. Jeremy's features were like carefully carved jade, and his temperament was as warm as water. However, they were the same in nature. They were all top business men with almost the same power.
"Are we really not inviting any star to endorse?"
Hearing the secretary's question, Jeremy sneered with a trace of disdain on his face, which was quickly covered up by him.
He said slowly, "the YS Group is a good example for its sales. It's not only through the spokesperson.
The secretary thought over Jeremy's words and nodded knowingly, indicating that Jeremy was right.
"The YS Group has laid a strong market foundation for us when we launched the test. Therefore, as long as the products are novel and strict in quality, nothing else will happen."
Speaking of the YS Group, Jeremy felt complicated. He and Victor were enemies and friends in business. But this time, it was obvious that Jeremy was the winner.
Thinking of this, Jeremy was obviously in a good mood. He turned to his secretary and said, "inform the product group that they will take a day off tomorrow. We've worked hard these days and everybody should have a good rest."
The secretary said yes and looked at Jeremy with admiration. He didn't follow the wrong boss as expected.
The Mu Group's production volume kept going up. Even though the YS Group had hold a press conference to clarify various misunderstandings, the return of the products still couldn't make the YS Group's sales volume increase, which resulted in the heavy loss of the YS Group.
"Mr. Victor, the board decided to hold an emergency meeting and ask you to attend it in twenty minutes after."
Sophia walked into the office with a nervous look on her face. When she received the notice, she had a hunch that the meeting was for Victor.
But Victor didn't care about that at all. He enjoyed playing with the jewelry on his desk.
Hearing Sophia's words, he said lightly, "I see." As if she had nothing to do with all these things.
Twenty minutes later, Victor arrived at the conference room.
In the conference room, all the shareholders were wearing a dark face. When they saw Victor, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Victor, do you have any explanation about this? The company's suffer a heavy loss when our products are listed, and even our image is affected?"
Asked Terence Xiao, Victor's uncle. It was a great surprise for Victor to see Terence Xiao come to the company.
It was hard to find his uncle in the company. He had been busy taking care of the flowers, birds and beasts in the backyard of the villa. Therefore, he had little time to ask about the company.
In fact, Terence Xiao had been coveting the position of the president of Xiao Group for a long time, but he didn't expect his nephew to grab it. And the disappointing Terence Xiao hardly came to the company to deal with his business after Victor became the CEO. Since his nephew had become the CEO of the company at such a young age, he would naturally retreat from the front line and leave everything to this new CEO.
He hadn't shown up for a long time. As soon as he appeared at the board of directors, this time must have something to do with his incitement.
"The products are all right. I have accompanied you in today's press conference. Is there any need for me to explain?" Although it was a question, everyone dared not say a word because of Victor's overwhelming aura.
They didn't expect that Victor would say such reasonable words when he was in a mess. Asked Terence Xiao, curling his lips.
After a long time, no one spoke again, and Terence Xiao was anxiety in his heart. He had carefully planned the board of directors for a long time today. They had agreed to fight against the arrogant CEO at such a young age, but no one said a word at the meeting.
Terence Xiao tried to hide his panic and smiled awkwardly, "calm down, Victor. Although our company has a narrow escape from the loss, we're running a big company. That's true, isn't it?"
Speaking of this, Terence Xiao suddenly felt a little emboldened. What he said was not a made up story. All his words were certain facts.
"Today I hold this board meeting to discuss among us on the solution, at least things happen from you, you have to give an explanation, don't you?"
All the shareholders, who had been frightened by the powerful aura of Victor, seemed to be in an uproar after hearing Terence Xiao's words and nodded in agreement.
Obviously, the shareholders didn't trust Victor very much, and there were many people who were expecting something bad to happen to Victor.
Victor did make a lot of achievements, but in the eyes of the shareholders, they only saw interests and could not have any losses.
Victor's deep and sharp eyes were fixed on Terence Xiao. After knowing what his uncle had done secretly in the past years. It was just this kind of person who only fanned the flames behind, and even did not deserve to be his opponent. Victor never took him seriously.
After a long time, there was no expression on Victor's face. He said coldly, "well, what do you mean, uncle?"
After refraining himself for a long time, Terence Xiao spoke out everything that he had wanted to say with a smile, "Mr. Victor, as long as you give us a reasonable explanation, the board of directors will not continue to pursue it. Otherwise, the president is looking for someone else. "
"Terence Xiao is right. The board of directors only wants an explanation."
After hearing that all the shareholders around Terence Xiao supported him, he was relieved and smiled with satisfaction.
'No matter how capable you are, you are nothing but a drowned chicken that has been beaten by profits. I will see how you can turn the tide.' Terence Xiao almost laughed out loud at the meeting.
However, at the meeting today, the only reason why there was no speech was that Victor's grandfather was sitting in the middle. He frowned and looked at the scene in silence.
