99: Chapter 99 Shareholder Pressure

Chen Ling smiled and patted Wang Tian's shoulder.

"President Wang, what you're saying is unfair. I've clearly taken good care of myself; what does Yang Jin have to do with it?"

"By the way, why did you decide to look for me today?"

Wang Tian took a sip of the tea his secretary had prepared and said, "Why I came to find you, don't you know?"

Chen Ling blinked, her smile blossoming.

"President Wang, that's a bit meaningless. Should I really know why you're here to see me?"

Wang Tian snorted coldly and threw the financial report he saw on the desk onto the sofa.

"Of course you should. Take a look at this."

Chen Ling picked up the documents from the sofa and glanced at them.

It was the financial report.

"President Wang, this is just the company's financial report for the last few months. Do you really need to be angry with me over this report?"

Wang Tian's face darkened.

"Shouldn't I be angry?"

"What promises did you make to me before driving Shen Yan away?"

"You said you could definitely double the company's value after Shen Yan left, but look what you've done now! You've made a listed company unable to cover its expenses!"

Seeing that the other party had clearly come to settle accounts, Chen Ling stopped pretending.

She sat on the sofa and crossed her legs.

"President Wang, what you're saying is too meaningless. You were the ones who found me and asked me to betray Shen Yan in the first place."

"Now that Shen Yan is gone and the company's profits have dropped, you feel it's not good enough and want to blame me, is that it?"

Wang Tian rubbed his jaw. He placed his hand on his chin and said to Chen Ling, "Of course, I'm not here to blame you. I want to ask what your next plan is."

"I heard a large company is publicly seeking investment recently—the capital is fifteen million. I think our company could give it a try."

Chen Ling shook her head in refusal.

"I thought about doing that before, but I now feel this project has a huge pitfall. A fifteen-million budget is too high; this is a trap."

"Instead of completing the project and handing it over to them, we might as well create another project ourselves..."

Wang Tian shook his head directly, not listening to her.

"Still creating another project?"

"From the time Shen Yan left until now, you've launched two projects, and every single one has caused the company to lose all its money."

"How can you make me believe that you can create a profitable project for the company?"

Chen Ling showed all her displeasure on her face.

"Wang Tian, what exactly are you here for today? Are you here to blame me or to demand that I invest in that project?"

Wang Tian curled his lips.

"Both. Of course, you also have the option not to bid. I heard Shen Yan recently founded a company."

"Actually... I think you and Shen Yan can reconcile. He might be a bit rigid, but his capabilities are decent."

"I think you can get back together with him and then poach him to be a Project Group Leader in our company."

Chen Ling's mouth dropped open.

She thought she was ruthless enough.

Unexpectedly, there are always people better than you, and greater forces beyond the heavens. The even more ruthless people were Wang Tian and his group.

"Do the other shareholders share your idea?"

Wang Tian spread his hands and replied, "Of course. I was recommended by them to discuss this matter with you."

"To put it plainly, we are all on the same boat. You don't want the company to do poorly, and neither do I."

"So, as long as it helps the company improve, we are willing to accept anything."

Chen Ling was almost suffocated by their shamelessness.

They were the ones who stubbornly insisted on kicking Shen Yan out.

Now that the company was failing, they wanted to woo Shen Yan back, and even wanted Shen Yan to abandon the company he founded to come back as a mere Project Group Leader.

Why didn't they just go dream about it?!

"He has his own company, projects, and investors now. Tell me, how can I make him give up all that to become a small Project Group Leader in our company?"

Wang Tian burst out laughing.

To him, nothing was absolutely impossible.

"Whether it works or not, you'll only know if you try, right?"

"In any case, let me tell you clearly first: if you cannot improve the company's situation, then you must leave this company."

Chen Ling shot up from the sofa with a gasp.

She gritted her teeth and said word by word to Wang Tian, "You surnamed Wang, don't forget, I am also a shareholder in this company!"

Wang Tian narrowed his eyes and said to Chen Ling, "All the shares you hold were transferred to you by Shen Yan back then."

"We could make Shen Yan scram, and we can make you scram from this company too."

After speaking, Wang Tian got up, brushed past Chen Ling, and walked out of the office.

Oh my god!

The secretary stood nervously in the corner, not daring to breathe loudly.

"You can go out now."

Hearing these three words, the secretary felt liberated and quickly left the battlefield without gunpowder smoke.

Once Chen Ling was alone in the office, she began to vent without restraint.

"Smash!"

All the documents on the desk were swept to the floor.

She angrily stomped on the documents again and again.

"Disgusting!"

"So disgusting!"

After venting, she sat in her office chair and began to consider her next steps.

None of these shareholders were easy to deal with.

She was weak and couldn't afford to completely fall out with them.

Therefore, she had to think of a way to make the company profitable in a short time.

Thinking this, she looked at the investment proposal document on the floor.

Two months was really too short.

Did she really have no choice but to try bidding?

... ...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today was the day the software development was completed.

It was also the day the Employees were liberated.

"Tell me what you all want to eat today, my treat!"

In the office, the Employees cheered.

"We want hot pot!"

"Coconut chicken is also fine!"

"I want barbecue..."

Seeing that opinions were divided, Shen Yan thought for a moment, took out his phone, and sent a few large red envelopes in the company group chat.

"How about this: I'll send the money into the company group. After you all claim it, eat whatever you like. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, everyone became so excited they could barely speak coherently.

"Yes, of course, it's okay! Oh my god, Boss, you are truly brilliant!"

"I love the Boss! The Boss's company is my home!"

"Hahahaha, I'm going to claim my money and go eat coconut chicken!"

In the corner, Chen Guangke nudged Wu Ya with his elbow.

"What do you want to eat?"

Wu Ya glanced at Chen Guangke and said, "I'm not eating. I'm dieting recently."

Chen Guangke made a "tsk" sound and said, "You're not fat, why do you need to diet?"

"How about this, I'll treat you to hot pot?"

Wu Ya's eyes widened, and she looked at Chen Guangke in disbelief. She pointed a finger at Chen Guangke, then pointed at herself.

"You're treating me?!"
