Chapter 310: The Whirlpool of Power: Xiao Yue's First Adventure
The heavy wooden door closed behind Xiao Yue, blocking out the noise from the outside world.
The oval conference table occupied the center of the room. The shiny mahogany tabletop reflected Xiao Yue's slightly nervous face.
She sat in her own seat with a document spread out in front of her. The tip of her pen gently moved across the paper, making a rustling sound that was particularly clear in the silent conference room.
The sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting bright spots of light on the floor, but it could not dispel the tense atmosphere in the air.
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
She knew that this power distribution meeting would be an important test for her.
Uncle Xiao was the first to break the silence. He put the teacup heavily on the table with a "bang" sound, and said in a firm tone: "Xiao Yue, you are young and inexperienced. It is safer to let the distribution of power be handled by the elders." He looked directly at Xiao Yue with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
An invisible sense of oppression came over Xiao Yue, making it difficult for her to breathe.
But she didn't back down. She met Uncle Xiao's gaze and said firmly, "Uncle, although I'm young, I'm not completely ignorant of family affairs. I'm confident that I can formulate a fair and reasonable plan to protect the interests of the family."
Xiao Yue expounded his ideas clearly and cited a lot of data and cases to support his views.
Her calm and composed response gradually suppressed Uncle Xiao's arrogance.
The other members in the meeting room, who had originally been watching the show, couldn't help but look at Xiao Yue differently.
They whispered and discussed Xiao Yue's performance in low voices.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the conference room...
There was a knock on the door of the conference room, and the slight "knock knock" sound broke the tense atmosphere in the room.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Secretary Chen push the door open and walk in, holding a stack of documents in his hands and a professional smile on his face. "Everyone, these are the supplementary documents. Please review them."
She distributed the documents to everyone, her movements neither hurried nor slow, yet making everyone feel a subtle sense of oppression.
Xiao Yue took the document and caught a glimpse of his cousin Xiao exchanging glances with several family members beside her, with a malicious smile on her face.
Sure enough, after the documents were distributed, Cousin Xiao cleared her throat and took the lead: "Yueyue, there are some data in this document that I don't quite understand. Could you please explain it to me?" Her voice was soft, but it carried a hint of provocation.
"Yeah, I have some questions too." "And here, it feels a little unreasonable." Voices of agreement came one after another, and several family members spoke at once, trying to disrupt Xiao Yue's rhythm and create chaos.
Xiao Yue sneered in her heart. She had expected these tricks a long time ago. Weren't they just trying to take the opportunity to disrupt her thoughts and make her look bad in front of everyone?
She put down the pen in her hand, looked up at everyone with just the right smile on her face: "Dear uncles, aunts and uncles, please be patient, I will answer your questions one by one. However, in order to avoid repetition, why don't you all summarize your questions and solve them one by one?" Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, with a convincing power.
Cousin Xiao's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect Xiao Yue to be so calm.
She tried to attack again, but Xiao Yue didn't give her a chance at all. She began to answer the questions raised by everyone one by one, with clear ideas and strict logic, leaving those who originally wanted to find fault speechless.
In this back-and-forth confrontation, Xiao Yue not only cleverly resolved the crisis, but also took the opportunity to see everyone's true thoughts and positions.
She was secretly delighted, as these little actions became her weapon to find out the opponent's cards.
Cousin Xiao's plan ultimately failed. She bit her lower lip in frustration, a hint of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.
At this time, Consultant Lin pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, handed a thick folder to Xiao Yue, and said calmly: "Mr. Xiao, this is the power distribution plan I drew up based on family conventions. You can refer to it." There was a hint of temptation in his eyes, as if he wanted to see what choice Xiao Yue would make.
Xiao Yue took the document, glanced through it roughly, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Although this plan was standard, it was too conservative and could not satisfy her vision for the future development of the Xiao Group.
She raised her head and said firmly, "Consultant Lin, thank you for your hard work. However, I feel that this plan still has some shortcomings, and I would like to offer some of my personal ideas."
Consultant Lin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Yue to reject his plan. You know, this was the summary of his many years of experience and had always been regarded as a guiding principle by family members.
With a hint of curiosity and a hint of displeasure, he raised his eyebrows and motioned Xiao Yue to continue.
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and began to explain her unique idea. Her voice was clear and confident, echoing in the conference room.
Her plan was bold and innovative, breaking the traditional pattern and shocking everyone present.
Consultant Lin widened his eyes in surprise. He had never seen such a courageous young man.
In the conference room, bursts of low discussions began to be heard again, but this time, the content of the discussions was completely different from before, from questioning to surprise and admiration.
Xiao Yue's gaze swept across the crowd, his eyes filled with confidence.
"you…!"
At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.
The door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a warm breeze mixed with the aroma of coffee rushed into the room accompanied by the sound of low footsteps.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Ting, wearing a well-tailored black suit and holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, walking in with steady steps.
He ignored everyone else present and walked straight to Xiao Yue, gently placing the coffee in front of her, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a fragile treasure.
"You must be tired. Have some coffee." His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
Xiao Yue raised her head, and her tired eyes reflected Shen Ting's deep gaze, and her heart felt warm.
She reached out and held the coffee cup, and the warmth from the cup wall dispelled the chill in her heart.
Shen Ting took the opportunity to gently hold her hand. The warmth and strength from his palm instantly relaxed Xiao Yue's tense nerves, and a sense of security arose spontaneously.
The air around them seemed to become softer, and the tension just now was broken by this sudden tenderness. Even Uncle Xiao and Cousin Xiao's faces became a little ugly.
They didn't expect that Shen Ting would express his preference for Xiao Yue so blatantly.
Xiao Yue felt Shen Ting's silent support, and the emotion in her heart surged like a tide.
She knew that in this stressful and challenging environment, Shen Ting's love was like a bright light, illuminating her way forward.
She took a sip of coffee, and the rich taste spread in her mouth, gradually clearing her originally confused thoughts.
She looked at the plan on the table again, her eyes becoming firm and sharp.
Fairness is important, but the development of the family business is the top priority. If the business cannot even develop, how can we talk about fairness?
She struggled internally, trying to find a balance between fairness and interests. Ultimately, she decided that she must prioritize business development and make decisions that were best for the entire family, rather than sacrificing the future of the business for so-called "fairness."
She put down her coffee cup, picked up her pen again, and began to sketch out the plan.
She knew that this was just the beginning. Uncle Xiao and Cousin Xiao would never give up easily. They would definitely plan new methods in secret.
But so what?
She is fully prepared to face the greater challenges ahead.
She has enough confidence to lead the Xiao Group to glory.
The conference room fell silent again, leaving only the scratching sound of pens across paper.
Everyone stared at Xiao Yue, their eyes varied, some with reluctance, some with curiosity, some with anticipation, and even a hint of fear.
Xiao Yue ignored them and immersed herself completely in her own world, carefully considering every detail and trying to perfect her power distribution plan.
"I think this plan needs further consideration..."
