They watched as others rushed to withdraw their shares.
Someone couldn't help but shake their head.
"Alas, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!"
"The one rushing to withdraw shares, wasn't that Old Luo's grandson? I didn't expect his vision to be so narrow."
Hearing the words of these elders.
Xie Yu walked over, his attitude much improved. "Uncles, do you want to withdraw?"
Several elders shook their heads.
They smiled at Xie Yu and said, "We believe in Old Xie."
"We're old, so old. At our age, I don't want to fuss anymore. If the Xie Group can turn things around, that's best. If not, this old bone will go down with it!"
Listening to these words, Xie Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He clenched the contract in his hand.
This was a thick stack of contracts signed by others withdrawing their shares.
Then, he promised the elders, "I will absolutely not fail your trust!"
The entire conference room was chaotic due to the share withdrawal matters.
After everyone who wanted to withdraw had signed their contracts.
Xie Yu stood at the front and looked at everyone. "Alright, those who have signed the contract are no longer considered part of the Xie Group. Please move out as soon as possible today to avoid any trouble!"
Those who had withdrawn their shares, with money in hand, also had their confidence.
They scoffed at Xie Yu's words.
"Pah, as if anyone is eager to stay here!"
"Letting a greenhorn take charge, I reckon even without the Shi family, the Xie Group is doomed!"
"You're still too green, young man. If the old man were here, maybe there'd still be hope."
Many people vented their grievances.
Xie Yu looked at them calmly, saying nothing.
Just as they were preparing to leave the conference room.
Dong dong dong—
The secretary happened to come in from outside, looking hurried, nearly colliding with the crowd.
"What are you rushing around for? Don't tell me the Xie Group is bankrupt?"
The first person to open the door said with dissatisfaction.
The secretary, however, had no time to argue with him.
Instead, she stumbled to Xie Yu's side and handed him the phone.
"General Manager Xie, the longevity drug project... it's been successfully researched!"
The secretary said, panting.
Xie Yu's eyes widened.
He looked down and saw that the phone was still connected.
It was likely a call from the laboratory.
Without any hesitation, Xie Yu put the phone to his ear.
Zhou Yu's voice came through.
"General Manager Xie is quite busy, isn't he? I couldn't reach him on several calls, and had to have the secretary transfer."
Xie Yu had been in a meeting, so he hadn't carried his phone with him.
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Xie Yu hurriedly asked, "Divine Doctor Zhou, is it true?"
"The longevity drug..."
Zhou Yu chuckled and confirmed, "Yes, the third phase of clinical trials has been successful. I've already had people compile the materials and we're on our way to apply for the patent!"
"Xie Yu, prepare yourself now and contact the media in Jiangnan City. We'll hold a press conference tomorrow."
Xie Yu listened to these words.
He understood every character, but why did these words, put together, sound so unfamiliar?
His brain was operating incredibly slowly!
"Divine Doctor Zhou... Thank you!"
After saying this, Xie Yu hung up the phone.
He abruptly turned to his secretary and said.
"Quickly contact the media. We'll hold a press conference for the longevity drug tomorrow!"
The secretary, tears of joy streaming down her face, rushed out to work.
The people who had withdrawn their shares, due to the secretary's interruption, had not yet left.
Now, hearing Xie Yu announce a press conference.
Every single one of them froze in place!
"The longevity drug, it's really successful?"
Someone muttered in disbelief.
Xie Yu's gaze swept over them, he didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
They had been eager to leave just moments ago.
But now, upon hearing the news of the longevity drug's successful research, they no longer wanted to go!
Their hearts felt like they were being gnawed by ten thousand ants, both painful and itchy!
"Xiao Yu, is what you just said true? The longevity drug can be released tomorrow?"
The person asked impatiently.
Xie Yu looked at this group of people, feeling a sense of vindication in his heart.
Let them insist on withdrawing their shares earlier.
They must be regretting it to the core right now!
To make them even more regretful, Xie Yu immediately said.
"That's right, there's no harm in telling you now."
"In fact, even before today, the longevity drug had already entered the third stage of clinical trials!"
"Its release was only a matter of time!"
These words plunged those who were still gloating about their successful withdrawal back into despair!
They had never imagined.
That the longevity drug, which they believed had no future, would actually succeed.
And the news came out right after they had withdrawn their shares...
One must know.
The longevity drug represented money!
Who wasn't afraid of death?
Even if the Xie Group sold the longevity drug at an exorbitant price, there would still be people scrambling to buy it!
What was the small amount of funding invested before compared to that?
They could recoup the investment just by buying two days' worth of the longevity drug!
For a moment, many people felt dizzy, almost fainting.
Xie Yu looked at the pathetic state of these people and let out a snort of air from his nostrils before walking away.
Those few elders who had not withdrawn their shares.
Were also in disbelief upon hearing this news.
Had Xie Yu fabricated the news to make those who withdrew their shares regret it?
However, Xie Yu had just said that a press conference for the longevity drug would be held tomorrow!
If Xie Yu had fabricated the news, how would he dare to hold a press conference?
In an instant.
Overwhelming joy swept through the hearts of these few people.
"I knew it, I knew it! Old Xie's grandson couldn't possibly be that bad."
"Hahaha, look at their pathetic state. If they had only waited one more day to withdraw their shares, they wouldn't be in this predicament!"
The joy of these few people made the withdrawing shareholders feel even more despair!
They had no idea that the situation had reversed so drastically in just a few hours.
Some people reacted and quickly chased after him.
Wanting to beg Xie Yu to take back their shares.
While others, overwhelmed by the shock, collapsed onto the ground.
Because he knew that after signing the contract just now, Xie Yu had directly transferred the money into their accounts.
There was no room for regret!
For a moment, the conference room became chaotic again.
Some, after being rejected by Xie Yu, developed intense hatred towards him.
"Xie Yu knew that the longevity drug was about to be successfully developed, but he deliberately concealed the specific news, all to force us to withdraw our shares!"
"That's right, what a wicked heart!"
"No, we must go to Old Master Xie and demand an explanation. Why should we be fooled by Xie Yu like this!"
"I'm going too, let Old Master Xie see what kind of insidious brat his grandson is!"
Saying this.
Many people collectively headed towards the Xie family's old residence.
Those few elders who had not withdrawn their shares, upon hearing the discussions of these people, became anxious.
They also knew that Old Master Xie was in poor health and had been recuperating.
If these people rushed to him, wouldn't it infuriate Old Master Xie?
