Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553 Have We Said Enough Yet?!
The kind of man he is, someone who strategizes and plans meticulously. He certainly knows that Dan Yi is trying to set him up; there’s no way he wouldn’t have made preparations.
Perhaps he’s already gone to the company.
…
Dan Group Headquarters.
The magnificent skyscraper towers into the sky, its blue exterior walls interspersed with golden trims, radiating a dazzling glow under the sunlight.
At this moment, a heavy, oppressive atmosphere permeates within the corporate building.
More than twenty major shareholders, all with grim expressions, filed into the top-floor executive meeting room one after another.
“What’s going on? I heard that Mr. Fidengla was very satisfied with the partnership proposal we presented. How did the collaboration suddenly end up in Ye Group’s hands?”
The meeting hadn’t even officially started when one shareholder voiced their doubts first.
“I’ve heard something else too: On the day Mr. Fidengla arrived in Washington, the person responsible for receiving him inexplicably brought a competitor along, ultimately causing our cooperation to be poached. It’s made us a laughing stock in the business world.” Another shareholder echoed.
“It’s still unclear what happened. Let’s wait and see how Mr. Jie explains himself,” someone spoke up to mediate, in defense of Dan Hanjie.
“That’s all well and good, but look at him—does he have any intention of coming forward to provide an explanation? It’s been ages since the incident, and he hasn’t even shown his face. Everything has been handled by his assistant. I think he’s just hiding away like some coward, isn’t he?” Another coldly sneered, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
“In my opinion, we shouldn’t even bother holding a meeting. Just hand this entire incident over to the authorities and hold the responsible party accountable!”
“It’s just one partnership case, but the media is already paying intense attention to it. Hastily passing it to the authorities—are we trying to make our Group even more of a public spectacle? Humiliate ourselves further?!”
“…”
More than twenty people sat down, but the meeting felt more like a miniature debate tournament, with sharp exchanges flying back and forth.
“Haven’t you all said enough?”
A low, commanding voice cut through from outside the meeting room.
Accompanied by Dan Yi’s entrance, the room instantly fell silent.
A white Tang suit hugged his figure, making him appear energized and composed.
The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose lent him an air of calm refinement. Hands clasped behind him, he strolled in with the unmistakable presence of a patriarch.
With Dan Hanjie absent, Dan Yi, as the initiator of the meeting, headed straight toward the seat reserved for the president.
Just as he was about to sit down, someone immediately raised an objection.
“That’s the president’s seat. Mr. Dan Yi sitting there might be inappropriate, don’t you think?”
“What’s the problem? Dan Hanjie, as the honorary president of the Group—is anyone even sure where he is right now? Whenever trouble arises, he acts as though he can wash his hands of everything. Ultimately, it’s his youth and inexperience. Hardly someone fit for such a heavy responsibility.”
Dan Yi’s faction instantly stepped in to defend him.
“If inadequacy is grounds for replacement, then what stability can the Group possibly maintain? I find it inappropriate as well.” Another shareholder chimed in.
Even the slightest topic could be spun into a tug-of-war between the two factions, rife with avoidance and squabbling.
Dan Yi swept his gaze across the restless meeting room and, in the end, sat down in the seat that belonged to Dan Hanjie.
His intention today was to strip Dan Hanjie of his honorary presidency. Without throwing his weight around first, how could the matter proceed smoothly and logically?
“Regarding the partnership contract with the European food mogul Mr. Fidengla, I’ve had my assistant prepare the materials. They’ll now be distributed for everyone to review.”
Once seated, Dan Yi’s detached voice cut through the room.
Glancing around and confirming that Dan Hanjie’s figure wasn’t present in the meeting room, a cold smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
