Chapter 40

The whispers of the digital executives and shareholders made the entire venue somewhat noisy. Dog Sheng, who had returned to his seat, fixed his gaze on Dai Muxue, who was sitting opposite him, exchanging glances with her. This made Dai Muxue, who was originally sitting behind Chen Shuyuan to take meeting notes, unable to meet his eyes.

Chen Shuyuan, who had the upper hand, gently tapped the table. Every gesture she made exuded a certain presence! In contrast, Liu Jiming's faction all turned their eyes to Liu Jiming, who was sitting in the second position. At this moment, this cunning old fox was drinking tea from his cup, showing no change in his expression.

"Alright, everyone, let's put this matter aside. I believe every Huaxin employee is dedicated to their work. The current predicament Huaxin faces requires everyone to unite and work together, not to focus on layoffs." After saying this, Chen Shuyuan slowly turned her head, smiled at Liu Jiming, and softly said:

"Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

"Since Ms. Chen has made a decision, I won't object, but I reserve my personal opinion." This ambiguous and even aggressive statement plunged the venue into silence again.

This decision is yours alone, Chen Shuyuan. If these departments fail to make progress in the face of market challenges, you, Chen Shuyuan, will be held fully responsible.

Just as Liu Jiming finished speaking, a thick arm reached over his shoulder and picked up the frame of Chen Shuguo, which was originally placed next to him. Liu Jiming, turning his head, saw the tall figure of Dog Sheng standing behind him, which was quite shocking! Holding the frame in his hand, Dog Sheng blew on the glass and then carefully wiped it with his sleeve. Feeling the attention of everyone, Dog Sheng suddenly looked up and smiled innocently, quickly explaining:

"The frame was a bit blurry, you can continue." As he spoke, Dog Sheng put the photo back in its original place. This subtle action, though minor, had a significant impact on the small shareholders and executives who relied on Huaxin for their livelihood, indirectly telling them the stakes he held. Liu Jiming, the cunning old fox, who was about to counterattack, was immediately silenced by Dog Sheng's timely move. The timing and atmosphere were perfectly controlled by Dog Sheng, giving Chen Shuyuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, a further advantage for the day.

Throughout the meeting, Dog Sheng was like a sharp fish bone stuck in Liu Jiming's throat, making him uncomfortable. Seizing this opportunity, Chen Shuyuan announced several important measures and personnel adjustments. Every time someone from Liu Jiming's side objected, Dog Sheng, sitting behind Liu Jiming, would either stand up to adjust his pants or turn to pour water, always straightening the white-background black-framed photo before doing so. This nearly naked threat made everyone hesitant to speak. This afternoon's executive meeting was the smoothest since Chen Shuyuan took over Huaxin. With Dog Sheng's almost 'domineering' presence, the entire venue's atmosphere shifted in her favor from the moment he appeared. It was clear that Liu Jiming was thoroughly outmaneuvered, having overexposed his strength too early. In the final stages, the meeting became a one-sided affair, with Chen Shuyuan making all the decisions. Whenever she symbolically consulted the executives and shareholders, they would all turn their eyes to Dog Sheng, who was sitting behind Liu Jiming with his eyes closed.

The tightly closed meeting room door was opened again. Chen Shuyuan, dressed in a business suit, was the first to leave the venue, followed closely by her dedicated assistant, Dai Muxue, and Dog Sheng, who was holding the frame of Chen Shuguo as if it were a sacred relic.

Liu Jiming, slowly rising, turned his head to look at Dog Sheng's departing back, his eyes filled with malice, and began to calculate something in his mind. In his plan, before the Chuanxia Group arrived in Hong Kong, he must firmly control several key departments of Huaxin. No one who became an obstacle would be allowed to stand in his way.

Walking down the long corridor back to the office, Dai Muxue, walking alongside Dog Sheng, occasionally glanced at this man who made her uneasy. This man, who never played by the rules, always managed to save her boss from difficult situations with unexpected methods. For a moment, Dai Muxue couldn't quite understand this slightly imposing man.

Opening the office door for Chen Shuyuan, Dai Muxue was as professional as ever. Following closely behind, she passed by Dog Sheng, who suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Always peeking at me, I'm at a disadvantage." After saying this, he walked in as if nothing had happened. Dai Muxue, standing in place, blushed and glared at his back.

"Come in with me." Chen Shuyuan, turning her head, still had a stern expression, her gaze fixed on the photo of her 'father' that Dog Sheng was holding. After saying this, she pushed open the door first.

Scratching his head and following closely behind, Dog Sheng closed the door and stood in front of the desk with a bright smile. Without waiting for her to speak, he said:

"Don't thank me, we're family." Facing Dog Sheng's almost 'fawning' words, Chen Shuyuan looked at him coldly, throwing the legal letter on the desk and muttering:

"What's this? When did you contact my father?" In response to Chen Shuyuan's questioning, Dog Sheng first placed the photo on her desk, then sat on the desk without hesitation, leaning forward and saying:

"Fake."

"Fake? This, this..."

"Ms. Chen, you're out of touch. Even arrest warrants can be forged now. Eighty, not expensive, but it can intimidate people."

"Then, what about this photo? How, how..."

As she spoke, Chen Shuyuan pointed to the only family photo on the desk. If you looked closely, you would see that the appearance of Chen Shuguo in this ten-inch photo was identical to that in the family photo, even the curve of his smile.

"The situation was sudden, and I couldn't find Mr. Chen's photo, so I photoshopped one. I figured that just a verbal threat and a legal letter wouldn't be very effective. Carrying Mr. Chen's photo would be much more impressive and make those old fossils feel uneasy."

"Why a white background and black frame?" Chen Shuyuan's voice had become cold. Embarrassed, Dog Sheng stood up from the desk, took a half-step back, and scratched his head, smiling and answering:

"Your photo was too small. When enlarged, the resolution was too low, and I was afraid it would be exposed. This method could cover it up, so..."

After saying this, Dog Sheng pointed his finger and continued:

"Shut up, I'm leaving." With that, Dog Sheng turned and darted out.
