Chapter 312: Power Consolidation: Xiao Yue Becomes the Winner
The early morning sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Xiao Yue's delicate profile. She slowly put down the coffee cup in her hand, took a deep breath, and felt the tension in the air.
Today's family meeting is a key part of her careful planning, and success or failure depends on this one move.
She stood up, her body wrapped in a black professional suit was tall and capable, her eyes were calm but firm, like the calm sea before the storm, containing the power that was about to explode.
The atmosphere in the conference room was suffocating.
Uncle Xiao was the first to attack. His thick fingers slammed the table hard, making a dull "bang bang" sound that echoed in the silent space.
His face was trembling with flesh, and his tone was arrogant and sharp, like an enraged beast: "Xiao Yue, what kind of plan is this? It's sheer nonsense! We elders have worked so hard for our family, are we going to be trampled underfoot by a little girl like you?"
Cousin Xiao also echoed this, her carefully drawn eyeliner raised, her tone full of obvious sarcasm: "That's right, this plan is not fair at all. It's obvious that you want to monopolize power and treat us all as mere decorations!"
Consultant Lin pushed his gold-rimmed glasses aside, a sinister glint flashing in his calculating eyes. He said slowly, "The details of the plan are not rigorous enough. There are still many points that need to be discussed. We can't make a hasty decision."
Shareholder Li swayed from side to side, his fat body twisting restlessly. From time to time, he glanced at Xiao Yue and then at Uncle Xiao. He was obviously watching and trying to find the side that would be most beneficial to him.
Xiao Yue watched their performance quietly, a sneer on his lips, but there was no fear in his eyes.
She calmly picked up the document on the table and gently placed it on the surface. The crisp sound of the paper shuffling was particularly clear in the quiet conference room. "Uncle, cousin, Consultant Lin, you say I'm monopolizing the power? That the plan is unfair? I'd like to ask, have any of you carefully read my plan? Or are you simply unwilling to accept a plan I formulated?"
Her tone was calm and powerful, and every word she said was like a nail, accurately driving into the hearts of those who opposed her.
She looked around, her eyes sweeping over everyone sharply, and everyone she caught her gaze on involuntarily avoided her gaze.
"You keep saying that you want to think about the family, but are your actions really for the good of the family? If everyone only thinks about their own interests, then what future do we have for the Xiao family?" Xiao Yue's voice gradually became louder, with an unquestionable majesty. She slammed the table with a loud "bang" that shocked everyone.
"My plan is not for me alone, but for the overall interests of the Xiao family! Everyone can find their own place in it!" Her words were loud and clear, like a sharp sword, piercing through the veil of hypocrisy.
Uncle Xiao and the others were shocked by Xiao Yue's aura and were speechless for a moment. They stammered but could not come up with any effective rebuttal. They could only secretly think of new countermeasures in their hearts.
"Secretary Chen, turn on the projector." Xiao Yue turned and said to Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen immediately turned on the projector.
"Today, I will explain this plan to you in detail..." Xiao Yue's voice echoed in the conference room, clear and firm.
Xiao Yue's voice was clear and penetrating, echoing in the conference room like a symphony full of hope.
She operated the projector skillfully, and clear charts and data appeared on the screen. Each item was carefully designed, and every detail of the plan was explained in detail.
She explained patiently, her voice neither hurried nor slow, yet with a convincing force.
"Uncle, you see, according to this plan, your position in the family will remain stable, and the returns from your shares will be higher than before." Xiao Yue turned her gaze to Uncle Xiao, with a hint of respect in her tone. Her eyes were sincere and firm, causing a hint of hesitation to flash across Uncle Xiao's face.
"Cousin, we will invest more resources in the project you are in charge of, and you will have more development opportunities in the family." Xiao Yue's gaze shifted to cousin Xiao again. Her tone was soft, as if she was chatting with an old friend.
She meticulously listed the benefits of the plan for everyone, as if painting a beautiful blueprint, leading them into a hopeful future.
The atmosphere in the conference room gradually relaxed, and the previous tense feeling also dissipated for the most part.
The family members who originally opposed the plan began to carefully examine the content on the projector, and a thoughtful look gradually appeared on their faces.
Shareholder Li's restless and twisting body gradually calmed down. His fat fingers tapped on the table again and again, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
"This plan... seems really good." An uncle of the family muttered in a low voice, with a hint of approval on his face. Although the voice was small, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"Yes, I think what Xiao Yue said makes sense. This plan will be very helpful to the overall development of our family." Another family elder echoed.
Seeing that the situation was not favorable to her, Cousin Xiao began to feel anxious.
Her delicate makeup couldn't hide the gloom in her eyes. Her eyes moved rapidly as she thought about her last resort.
She suddenly stood up, a false smile on her face. "Yueyue, your plan is indeed perfect, but I still have some questions. Did you complete this plan alone? I heard that you have been very close to Consultant Lin recently. Could the formulation of this plan be mixed with some personal interests?"
Her voice was sharp and harsh, like a sharp knife pointing directly at Xiao Yue's soft spot. She tried to divert the attention of family members and drag Xiao Yue into the water by slandering him.
"Cousin, are you questioning me?" Xiao Yue's tone was still calm, but her eyes were like ice, tightly locking onto cousin Xiao, causing cousin Xiao to shiver involuntarily.
"Question? I just want to know the truth." Cousin Xiao's tone was still firm, but she seemed a little lacking in confidence.
Xiao Yue sneered. She was well prepared. She slowly took out her cell phone and opened a few emails. The contents of the emails were clearly displayed on the projector, recording the communication between Xiao Yue and Consultant Lin. Each time they only discussed the details of the plan and there was no private transaction.
"Cousin, the evidence is conclusive. I don't know what else you want to say." Xiao Yue's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty. Her eyes swept across the audience, making everyone clearly realize that she was the winner of this battle.
Cousin Xiao's face turned pale in an instant, and her body trembled slightly. Xiao Yue, on the other hand, was like a dazzling star, shining brightly and becoming the representative of justice in the hearts of family members.
Xiao Yue slowly exhaled. She looked back at the projection screen and continued, "Next, let's look at..."
With a "bang", the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, making a slight noise, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Shen Ting stood outside the conference room, his slender fingers tapping the screen of his mobile phone gently, again and again, with an even and steady rhythm, just like his calm heartbeat at the moment.
His deep eyes looked through the glass window at Xiao Yue who was talking in the conference room, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He knew she would succeed.
The arguments in the conference room were just a small incident on his road to success.
The door of the conference room finally opened and Xiao Yue walked out. There was a hint of fatigue on her face, but her eyes were unusually bright, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Shen Ting walked forward and gave her a warm hug. His arms were broad and safe, like a solid harbor, protecting her from wind and rain.
Xiao Yue leaned her head gently on his shoulder, feeling the familiar scent on him, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Ting whispered in her ear. His voice was low and gentle, like a spring breeze, blowing through her heart.
Xiao Yue raised her head and gave him a bright smile: "It's all worth it."
In the end, the family members passed Xiao Yue's power distribution plan by a majority vote.
Although Uncle Xiao and Cousin Xiao were unwilling, they were powerless to change the situation.
They left the meeting room dejectedly, their backs looking lonely and desolate.
Xiao Yue successfully consolidated his core position in the company. The operation of Xiao's enterprise was not affected. Instead, it became more vibrant under the new power structure.
Xiao Yue's name was praised in the family, and her sense of accomplishment surged like a tide, drowning all her fatigue.
The hall of Xiao's Enterprise was brightly lit, and the crystal chandeliers emitted a dazzling light, shining on everyone's face.
Family members congratulated Xiao Yue one after another, their faces were filled with smiles and their tone was full of admiration.
Xiao Yue stood in the center of the crowd, gracefully accepting everyone's praise. Looking back on this difficult journey, her heart was filled with pride.
The bubbles of champagne jumped in the goblet, making crisp sounds like a celebratory salute.
The entire hall was filled with an atmosphere of joy and glory. This was Xiao Yue's glorious moment and also a new starting point for the development of Xiao's enterprise.
"Mr. Xiao, next..." Secretary Chen walked to Xiao Yue and said softly.
Xiao Yue smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the elevator: "To the office."
