Chapter 660: 660 What do you have to talk to us about?
Upon arriving at the Shi Family’s office building, Shi Lan’s mother composed herself. After getting out of the car, she walked ahead of Shi Lan like a solitary warrior.
Shi Lan buttoned up her coat, put on her glasses, and clutched her notebook, dressing up as a secretary as she followed behind her mother.
At that moment, the Shi Family’s boardroom was in uproar. The young directors and the older ones had different styles and ideas, believing that handing over the Shi Family business to the ignorant Shi Lan’s mother was akin to self-destruction.
“Although I also despise the conduct of the Shi brothers, I absolutely refuse to let the great lady come into power. She’s been secluded at home for so long, what does she know about running a business?”
“What’s the use of your disapproval? Who has the most shares? The current state of the Shi Family is the result of mutual support among all the directors. You have to give people room to grow, don’t you?”
“Why not just hand over the management rights? There’s no one left in the Shi Family now, unless Miss Shi comes back to life. Otherwise, I refuse to accept anyone from the Shi Family as the new chairman today.”
Shi Lan’s mother and Shi Lan listened outside the door for a while and had a clear understanding of the directors’ thoughts.
Just when everyone was heatedly engaged, Shi Lan pushed open the doors of the boardroom, then let her mother walk out with her head held high and chest puffed out.
Upon reaching the chairman’s seat, she looked at all the directors and asked, “So if Shi Lan were to come back to life, you would all be willing to cast your support votes for me, right?”
“What kind of daydream is that?”
“What nonsense are you spouting?”
With a light chuckle, Shi Lan’s mother took from the bodyguard’s hand the heir’s case belonging to the Shi Family and placed it on the desk, asking, “Do you know what’s inside this case?”
The older directors all understood, but the younger ones were clueless.
Shi Lan’s mother opened the case and then poured out all the documents.
“The long-established foundations of the Shi Family are now at a juncture of life and death. I’m not keen on bringing up these old affairs, but among all the directors present, who hasn’t benefited from the Shi Family’s generosity? If there are any, please raise your hand and stand up. If you wish to oppose me, I will have no objections.”
The directors looked at each other. This time, even the younger directors couldn’t speak out, for their families had all, to some extent, been protected by the Shi Family.
“For so many years, the Shi Family has made it to this day, largely due to the spirit of camaraderie and mutual support with all the directors here, because none of us can guarantee that we will always be at the peak without facing any downturns. Now, with Shuangshi on the rise and newer, younger industries rapidly developing, if we don’t unite and transform to overcome this difficulty together, then when problems arise, who will be in jeopardy if not just the Shi Family?”
“I know you doubt my abilities, and I’m not demanding that you show a hundred percent trust in me right away. Today, I am here to negotiate with all the directors.”
“What do you have to negotiate with us?”
“Shi Family’s shares, are they enough of a bargaining chip? Give me one year to run the Shi Family business, and if a year from now, its performance hasn’t improved and continues to decline, I will willingly relinquish all of the Shi Family’s shares and leave them at your disposal,” Shi Lan’s mother said with great determination.

After all, what harm was there in giving her a year to try?
However, at that moment, the youngest director slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting angrily, “You know you’re incapable, so why stubbornly cling to the management rights? Among the directors here, there are no lack of superb managers. Why should we trust you? Do you know how many companies can go bankrupt in just one year? I’m not willing to gamble my future on a one-year agreement with you.”
