She said, "Shi Ran, in the workplace, only personal ability can solve any problem. Impulsiveness is never the way to solve a problem."
With this thought, she suppressed the anger in her heart, "Okay, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"How long? You also know that the competition time is running out."
Li Fan was aggressive.
Before, the two had maintained a sense of awe towards Meng Jingwei, firstly due to Meng Jingwei's personal strength, and secondly, because they later learned of Meng Jingwei's relationship with Qing Muy Ye, making them even more respectful.
Now that Qing Muy Ye was 'dead,' and she had handed the company over to Shi Ran, the two were naturally displeased.
Just as Shi Ran was thinking, Du Rui directly gave the result, "At most a week. If you can't handle it, you can go help out in the logistics department."
The two had conspired to seize power.
Shi Ran knew this well, and the pressure on her immediately increased.
She clenched her fists, "Alright."
With a single word, she closed the file, stood up, and left the office.
As the office door slammed shut with a bang, Du Rui and Li Fan exchanged a knowing smile, their eyes glinting with triumph.
"Heh, as expected, young and impetuous. Let's wait for the show," Du Rui's lips curved slightly into a cold smile.
Li Fan leaned back, shaking his neck and stretching his limbs. Closing his eyes, he said, "To be honest, Old Du, you're quite wicked. These three companies simply wouldn't look at our Chaoyun Esports. Cooperation is impossible. Aren't you just making things difficult for the young lady?"
Returning to her office, Shi Ran poured herself a cup of coffee and sat at her desk, reviewing the information on Songyu Group, Hongfei Group, and Cybertron Group, sighing deeply.
Songyu Group was currently managed by Qing Si Huai, making cooperation impossible.
Once Qing Si Huai knew that Chaoyun Esports belonged to Meng Jingwei's company, he would likely destroy Chaoyun Esports without breaking a sweat.
Chaoyun Esports had always been Meng Jingwei's brainchild, and Shi Ran knew this better than anyone.
She held her pen and crossed out Songyu Group in her notebook.
Now only Hongfei Group and Cybertron remained.
Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of Yuan Wei.
Yuan Wei was currently the secretary to Gan Yu Lu, the boss of Hongfei Group. Could he help?
"Sigh, never mind. I've already asked him for too much help."
Shi Ran shook her head, dismissing the thought.
Her gaze then fell on Cybertron Company, a large internet company. Shi Ran directly dialed the phone number and arranged a meeting.
However, the person who answered was their secretary, who directly rejected her phone appointment.
Helpless, Shi Ran took her bag and drove to Cybertron Company.
The car she was driving was a sedan that Qing Muy Ye had given her. Back then, Qing Muy Ye had been privately contacting her, inquiring about Meng Jingwei.
This car was considered a reward.
Shi Ran arrived at Cybertron Company and walked up to the reception desk in the company's headquarters. She handed her business card to the receptionist and explained her purpose.
But the receptionist was not interested in a mere unknown esports company. With a dismissive glance at her business card, she didn't even take it. "I'm sorry, our President Huo is currently on a business trip abroad."
"Business trip? Then... when will he be back?"
Du Rui and Li Fan had only given her a week. If President Huo Xiao Hua of Cybertron Group was to remain on his business trip, would she only have Hongfei to choose from?
"President Huo hasn't said. It might be a week, or perhaps half a month," the receptionist said casually, then lowered her head to tidy a desk that was already neat enough.
It was clear she didn't want to say more to Shi Ran.
Shi Ran asked a few more questions, but the receptionist offered no further information.
Feeling helpless, she left the company and stood by the roadside, using her phone to search for news related to Huo Xiao Hua. As expected, she found something.
