87: Chairman Lei's words are excellent.

Lei Jun and the Board Members instantly fell silent. The previously warm atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Lei Jun quickly replied, "Understood, Director Lei. We will take you to the Core R&D Department immediately. That is the department where our company's technology is most concentrated."

The other Board Members quickly followed suit, no longer daring to mention a single irrelevant word.

When the group walked into the Core R&D Department, the employees in the office were still busy with their respective tasks.

Lei Jun cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Everyone, please pause for a moment. Let me introduce you all. This is Ms. Lei Jun, our company's newly appointed Largest Shareholder."

The office instantly quieted down, and all eyes simultaneously turned toward Lei Jun.

"Lei Jun? Her name sounds like the Chairman's. What a coincidence?"

"This is our company's Major Shareholder? She's too young! She's the same age as my sister, yet she's the Major Shareholder of a Trillion-Dollar Group. That's insane!"

"Not only young, but also very beautiful—too beautiful! God, how did she get all the good things? I can't live!"

"It truly is maddening when you compare yourself to others!"

"What is her background? How could she parachute in and become the Major Shareholder?"

"Do you think she has any relationship with CEO Lei? They both share the surname Lei, and their names are so similar. Could they be relatives?"

The employees' chatter grew louder. Fearing that Lei Jun would be displeased, Lei Jun quickly let out a heavy "Hmph."

The office instantly fell silent, and everyone lowered their heads, daring not to speak again.

He turned around and respectfully said to Director Lei, "Director Lei, please say a few words to everyone."

The other Board Members understood immediately and began leading the enthusiastic applause. The employees quickly followed suit.

Director Lei felt a bit helpless.

I have to speak?

How troublesome.

But the formalities still had to be observed.

She stepped forward and calmly scanned the crowd.

"The achievements of Xiaomi are inseparable from all of your efforts. What I value is continuous innovation and breakthroughs. In the future, I hope to see more industry-leading, world-changing products born here. The value of technology lies in creating a better life. I hope you all strive together."

Lei Jun immediately led the applause, seemingly deeply moved.

"Director Lei spoke too well! The vision is grand, and the intent is profound!"

The other Board Members echoed, "Director Lei's insight is brilliant!"

The employees exchanged glances, surprised that the Chairman and the other Board Members were also so adept at flattery.

Of course, they couldn't lag behind, so they also praised Director Lei's speech.

Next, the group took Director Lei to inspect the next department... Meanwhile, some Reporters also learned about the arrival of the new Major Shareholder, Lei Jun, through internal sources.

Learning that Lei Jun was a very young and beautiful Girl only increased their interest.

Young, beautiful, and Major Shareholder of a Trillion-Dollar Group!

This combination is a huge scoop!

Front-page news guaranteed!

They must get the firsthand information!

They must be fast!

They must rush to the Xiaomi Headquarters!

If they are late, the news will be snatched by others!

All the Reporters, like sharks smelling blood, surged toward the Xiaomi Corporation Headquarters from all directions.

The sheer number of people almost completely blockaded the headquarters' entrance. With cameras and microphones everywhere, the scene became chaotic.

The Reporters held up cameras and microphones, shouting around the Security Guards: "Let us in! We need to interview Director Lei!"

"Is Ms. Lei Jun inside? Can you ask her to come out and say a few words?"

Many Passersby were also attracted, taking photos with their phones. The crowd at the entrance grew, nearly blocking the road.

When Lei Jun received the Security Guard's report, he was leading Director Lei on an inspection of the Finance Department and felt somewhat irritated.

Why did so many Reporters come?

If they get stuck inside the company by them, how bad will the impression be!

Director Lei will definitely be unhappy!

He quickly spoke to the Assistant beside him.

"Quickly, deploy all the group's Security Guards here and maintain order at the entrance first!"

"If that's not enough, call the Security Company and have them immediately send people over!"

The Assistant quickly ran out to make arrangements. After more than half an hour, the group's two dozen Security Guards plus the fifty Security Guards sent by the Security Company barely managed to hold back the Reporters and Passersby, and the order at the entrance finally stabilized.

Lei Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling fortunate that no major trouble occurred, otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Director Lei.

After inspecting the company and declaring her sovereignty.

Director Lei received the mission notification.

[godly tycoon mission: host, please proceed Mission Reward: 1,000 godly tycoon coins.]

[Mission: Go to Xiaomi Corporation Headquarters for inspection and declare sovereignty. Completed. Reward: 1,000 godly tycoon coins.]

Director Lei nodded in satisfaction.

This somewhat tedious mission was finally completed.

"I have a general understanding of the company's situation. If there's nothing else, I will head back now."

Lei Jun's heart skipped a beat.

After finally meeting this mysterious Major Shareholder, how could he just let her leave?

He absolutely had to perform well and establish a closer relationship.

He immediately stepped forward and said solicitously, "Director Lei, you've gone to such trouble to visit. How can you just leave like this?"

"I have already reserved a table at the best Private Dining Restaurant in the Imperial Capital. Please do me the honor and allow me to fulfill my duty as a host."

Director Lei frowned slightly.

Eating with these Old Business Foxes would surely involve a bunch of empty flattery. It would be more comfortable playing games with Lei Ying and Lei Yue.

But on second thought, since she was now the Largest Shareholder of Xiaomi, completely disregarding Lei Jun's feelings wouldn't be appropriate.

She was idle anyway, and it was just a meal. She could treat it as a way to reassure everyone.

She nodded, "Fine, let's go then."

Seeing her agree, Lei Jun's heart instantly bloomed with joy. He quickly invited the other Board Members to accompany them

However, just as the group reached the company lobby, they were stopped by Security Guards.

"CEO Lei, this is bad! The front and back doors are completely blocked by Reporters. We can't get out!" The Security Guard looked anxious, sweat beading on his forehead.

"They are still shouting that they want to interview Director Lei."

Everyone cursed the Reporters inwardly.

Then they started brainstorming how they could leave smoothly while ensuring Director Lei wouldn't be harassed by these Reporters.

Soon, one of the Board Members had a flash of inspiration and came up with the idea of "Substituting the Plum for the Peach."

They found a beautiful female employee in the company who also had striking silver hair, had her quickly dress up, and disguised her as Lei Jun. Under the cover of a group of people, she got into a luxury sedan.

"She's out! That Silver-Haired Girl is the New Shareholder!"

"Quick, follow her! Don't let her get away!"

The Reporters waiting outside swarmed forward like maniacs. Camera shutters clicked repeatedly, and some even clung to the car window, shouting, "Director Lei! Can you talk about your initial intention for acquiring Xiaomi?"

"What are your plans for the future development of Xiaomi?"

Taking advantage of the chaos at the entrance and the diverted attention, the real Lei Jun, accompanied by Lei Jun and others, quickly left the company through another Hidden Passage.

Inside the car heading to the restaurant, the atmosphere was subtle.

Chairman Lei Jun was still guessing.

Ms. Lei Jun didn't seem very happy during the inspection today. Was she dissatisfied with something?

Did she come here with a mission from higher-ups?

Is she going to purge me?

The more he thought, the more frightened he became.

No, he must ensure Ms. Lei Jun has a better impression of him.
