Chapter 46 - 46 Shareholders' Meeting
46 Shareholders’ Meeting
The celebration did not last long. Gu Lian and Mo Yu began to deal with their own matters. Gu Lian logged into his computer and checked the reports and emails that had accumulated over the past three years.
Mo Yu hurriedly logged onto Llife’s official website and suppressed the trending topic of ‘Gu Lian’s Return’.
It was too embarrassing. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. It was better not to let too many people see it.
The shareholders’ meeting was at 1:30 p.m. When the secretary, Little Wen brought the coffee over, she only saw two people working hard.
Little Wen did not disturb them. She placed the coffee on the table and went out to organize the documents Gu Lian needed for the afternoon meeting. She asked the janitor to tidy up the meeting room. She opened the window to ventilate and placed the fresh flowers she had just bought.
The shareholders’ meeting in the afternoon was a tough battle. Although doing these things might not be able to appease everyone’s mood, at least it would not make the people who came to the meeting feel like visiting their graves.
At 1:30 p.m., all the shareholders and project managers sat in the meeting room on time.
Gu Lian sat at the head of the table, his expression unreadable. He slowly scanned everyone sitting in the conference room, his calm gaze hidden behind the lenses. Those who were seen felt a chill run down their backs and subconsciously sat up straight.
Gu Lian looked at everyone’s nervous or calm expressions and finally said, “Tell me what everyone has done in the three years I’ve been away.”
After Mo Yu pushed Gu Lian into the meeting room, she was chased away by Gu Lian. Gu Lian said that he could not let her know about business secrets, but the secretary who brought her to the resting area smiled and explained to her, “President Gu really dotes on Madam. Every meeting, President Gu would scare someone to tears. This time, he probably doesn’t want Madam to see it and become scared, leaving a bad impression.”
Little Wen was also very busy with work. She brought Mo Yu to the resting area and returned to the meeting room.
The shareholders’ meeting was not just a group of people sitting together to discuss. They also needed a recorder to record the content of the meeting truthfully. If any project went wrong in the future, they would look for the person in charge of this section and see who proposed this plan at the meeting. It would also be easier to review and resolve the problem.
Mo Yu did not care much about such meetings. According to the plot of the original novel, Gu Lian was the correct standard. As long as he made the decision, there was nothing wrong.
She was not worried at all that Gu Lian would be bullied or at a disadvantage during the meeting. Long before his accident, he had established an image in the Gu Corporation. Although three years had passed, as long as not many old employees left, Gu Lian would always be the calm President Gu. Only he could bully others. There was no way for others to bully him.
Mo Yu sat in the rest area with a clear conscience and played with her phone while eating snacks. However, Mo Yu felt that after Gu Lian really returned, he had to manage the company’s employees. Why were they all running to the rest area during work hours and constantly peeping at her?
Little did she know that after those employees returned to their posts, they were all talking about her.
“Did you see before? How does the CEO’s wife look like?”
“I saw, I saw! She’s beautiful and has a good temperament! She looks quite familiar!”
“Yes, yes, yes, I find her familiar too! Is she the sister from the racing arena? Is she also the beauty who sang ‘Glory Bows to Me’ at Mo Xue’s return banquet?”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s her!”
…
Discussions broke out in the office.
When Gu Lian first took over the company, many people were attracted by his appearance. Later on, they were convinced by his governance methods. From then on, countless people wanted to climb to the position of ‘Mrs. Gu’.
Because of this, Gu Lian had changed three secretaries. Little Wen had lasted the longest in this position. Including the three years when Gu Lian was in trouble, she had already stayed in this position for five years.
At first, Little Wen had also thought that if she clung to the Gu family, she would not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of her life. However, the longer she interacted with Gu Lian, the less Xiao Wen thought about it.
She clearly realized that she and Gu Lian were from two different worlds. The Gu Lian family was rich and powerful. If they really got married, they would only find a wealthy family of equal social status. She was just one of many people. Instead of thinking of reaching the sky in a single step, it was better to work hard and wait for Gu Lian to raise her salary.
It was also this realization that allowed her to work in this position for so many years.
The subject of the office’s discussion, ‘Mrs. Gu,’ was tired from eating by now. She ate two macarons, a forest cake, a Napoleon cake, a Matcha mango crepe cake, and three cups of coffee in the resting area, but Gu Lian’s meeting was still not over.
Mo Yu stood up and touched her round stomach, planning to walk around to digest her food.
