"Reporting to Mr. Sheng, the company's operations have encountered some problems this month, and the stock price has fallen significantly." Chen Wei reported. Sheng Chenjin frowned, "What problem?" Chen Wei took out the folder in his hand and handed it to Sheng Chenjin.
"Mr. Sheng, please take a look at this."
Sheng Chenjin took the file bag handed by Chen Wei and opened it to take a look.
He saw that the document on top clearly stated, "Shengshi Group's stock price has fallen sharply, with someone manipulating it behind the scenes. The current stock price is around 1,500 yuan."
"Over a thousand yuan?" Sheng Chenjin narrowed his eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his gaze.
At this moment, the intercom on Sheng Chenjin's desk rang. He picked it up and listened for a few seconds, then hung up the phone and coldly ordered, "Chen Wei, notify everyone to wait for me in the reception room. We will hold a board meeting in ten minutes!"
"Yes!" Chen Wei respectfully took the order and left.
Ten minutes later, all the high-level executives of Shengshi Group were gathered in the conference room. Sheng Chenjin sat at the head of the table, his expression serious.
Sheng Chenjin spoke slowly, "Today's meeting is because Shengshi Group is facing a crisis, and a big one at that." He paused, "We need a stable development environment, so we need everyone's support." He paused again and continued, "I know many of you are old employees who have followed since my father's generation. I'd like to ask you, who among you is interested in participating in my father's business?"
The people below responded that they were not.
Sheng Chenjin's frown deepened. He continued, "Since that's the case, I'll share my thoughts first. Shengshi Group is my life's work, and I don't want it to go bankrupt. So, please give me some time, and I will come up with a suitable plan to revive our company and make our performance even more brilliant." Sheng Chenjin's voice was powerful and resonant. The employees below all expressed their commitment to cooperating with Sheng Chenjin to the best of their ability.
Sheng Chenjin looked at the CEO of Shengshi Group, "I hope we can find a sum of capital in a short period to help the company through this difficult time."
"I will try my best to find it," the CEO of Shengshi Group replied. "However, Mr. Sheng, as you know, Shengshi Group's liquidity is not strong, so you must raise funds as soon as possible, otherwise..."
The CEO of Shengshi Group paused, not continuing, as he was unsure if Sheng Chenjin would agree to his suggestion.
Sheng Chenjin remained silent, his face growing darker, and the atmosphere around him became increasingly somber.
After a long while, Sheng Chenjin looked up, his gaze sharp as he stared at the CEO, and said word by word, "If this project fails, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Mr. Sheng, please rest assured, we will do our utmost," the CEO of Shengshi Group said urgently.
Sheng Chenjin snorted, "I hope this deal is successful, and I also hope that everyone's work can remain stable and free of any errors. Meeting adjourned!"
The CEO of Shengshi Group breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led his people away. xxs1
...
Sheng Chenjin returned to his office and saw the person standing there anxiously. He frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
"Boss, we just received an anonymous complaint call saying that Shengshi Group has a deficit of several million in this period."
Sheng Chenjin's stern face remained expressionless, "Continue investigating!"
"Yes." The employee nodded. "Are you still going to work?"
"Continue!"
"Yes!"
Sheng Chenjin was left alone in his office. He checked the time; it was still early. Thinking of Shi Xinxin, he dialed her number.
Shi Xinxin was on the bus when her phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and saw it was Sheng Chenjin calling. She quickly pressed the answer button, her voice filled with a hint of joy, "Hello?"
"Where are you?" Sheng Chenjin's tone held a hint of dissatisfaction.
Shi Xinxin paused for a moment, then replied, "I'm... on the bus, why?"
"I'm asking you, where are you right now?"
"I'm going to school, I'm at the school gate."
"Good!"
After hanging up the phone, Shi Xinxin's lips curved into a slight smile.
Without Sheng Chenjin by her side, Shi Xinxin felt very comfortable.
Soon, the bus arrived at Shi Xinxin's apartment. Shi Xinxin paid the fare and walked towards the apartment building.
The employees of Shengshi Group saw Shi Xinxin and greeted her enthusiastically, "Miss Shi, good morning!"
Shi Xinxin returned the greeting, "Good morning!"
Entering the elevator, Shi Xinxin pressed the button for the top floor, feeling a little confused. What did the CEO of Shengshi Group want with her?
However, Shi Xinxin guessed it was probably because she had ruined Shengshi Group last time!
When Shi Xinxin stepped out of the elevator, she saw Sheng Chenjin standing outside.
Sheng Chenjin was wearing a white shirt and blue trousers, his hands in his pockets, exuding a captivating charm. When he looked up and saw Shi Xinxin, his face immediately broke into a bright smile. "Why are you here?" He strode over and took Shi Xinxin's hand.
The moment Sheng Chenjin held her hand, Shi Xinxin's heart skipped a beat. Sheng Chenjin had a unique scent, like the clean fragrance of tea. He led Shi Xinxin inside, saying gently, "Let's go, accompany me for a meal!" His voice was magnetic, making it impossible for Shi Xinxin to refuse.
They entered a private room. Shi Xinxin ordered her food and then sat on a chair, looking at Sheng Chenjin opposite her, "Sheng Chenjin, what exactly do you want to see me about?"
"Of course, it's about work matters!"
Sheng Chenjin raised an eyebrow, looking at Shi Xinxin with a half-smile.
Shi Xinxin pouted and rolled her eyes inwardly. Sheng Chenjin was clearly playing dumb! He was the one who had called to ask her out!
Although Shi Xinxin thought this, she didn't expose him.
Sheng Chenjin's lips curved slightly. He picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Shi Xinxin looked at Sheng Chenjin curiously.
"The company's financial situation is not very optimistic, I assume you know." Sheng Chenjin placed the coffee cup on the table.
"Oh, I already knew about this!" Shi Xinxin nodded. "My parents told me."
"You know?" Sheng Chenjin raised an eyebrow.
"Mhm." Shi Xinxin nodded. "However, they didn't tell me the specific details, so I don't know what aspect is problematic. But what does this have to do with you?"
Sheng Chenjin looked at Shi Xinxin and said seriously, "Our company's stock has been sold off."
Shi Xinxin was stunned, her eyes widening in surprise. "Sold off? By whom?"
Sheng Chenjin shook his head and sighed, "It's not certain yet, but it's very likely our competitors, or... our enemies."
