A Stern Mistress from the Ancient Past Becomes the Cannon-Fodder in a Wealthy Family Chapter 32: Negotiation

Chapter 32: Negotiation

When Li Ci heard her say this, he didn't waste any more time and said directly, "We invited you here this time because we have news of the Director. Originally, the Director wanted to go to Nigeria to investigate the project, but for some reason, he suddenly landed in Niger. After I received the news, I sent people to search, but there was no news of the Director. The only clue points to Somalia."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Yuan Shu thanked Li Ci, but her expression didn't change.

"This is what I should do. President s.h.i.+ has helped me before." Li Ci kept his eyes on Yuan Shu as he spoke, but he didn't see any change in her expression.

"In that case, with Mr. Li's help overseas, in addition to the fact that the s.h.i.+ family has also sent a search and rescue team, we believe that President s.h.i.+ will be safe and sound. In that case, you can rest a.s.sured that everything has been arranged before President s.h.i.+ left. We just need to stabilize the situation." Zhao Mian knew that Yuan Shu wasn't aware of these things.

"But there's someone we need Miss Li Ran's help with." Zhao Mian changed the topic and looked at Li Ran.

"I believe everyone has heard about Chu Mei's press conference yesterday. She publicly slandered President s.h.i.+'s reputation, causing the s.h.i.+ family's share price to fall. Although it didn't cause a huge impact, it's still a hidden danger. Therefore, I hope that our two families can work together to resolve this small problem."

Press conference? Stock price? Yuan Shu was baffled for a moment. She had been watching the news on television recently, but didn't pay attention to the gossip in the entertainment industry at all. She couldn't figure out what relations.h.i.+p Chu Mei had with s.h.i.+ Xiao.

"Of course, but it's not time yet." Li Ran nodded and looked at Yuan Shu.

"Besides, Madam s.h.i.+ hasn't said anything, so it's not appropriate for us to say anything."

Yuan Shu picked up her cup and took a sip of tea. How could she know what Chu Mei had done again? However, the question was directed to her after all, so she had to respond.

"There's no need to be anxious about this matter. If it really has something to do with s.h.i.+ Xiao, I'll naturally give her what she deserves. However, there's no evidence now. If she wants to rely on public opinion to obtain things, she's too naive."

Li Ci felt that Yuan Shu was interesting, since she could still sit still in such a situation. Li Ci couldn't help but look at Yuan Shu a few more times before talking about the original topic with Zhao Mian again.

"The s.h.i.+ family is rich, so this is not a problem. When they discover that the company is operating smoothly and that the s.h.i.+ family is not bankrupt, the share price will naturally rise back. However, I think Director Zhao might not be able to solve everything."

Zhao Mian nodded. She knew that this was probably Li Ci's true motive for this meeting.

"Indeed, Yuan An is a troublesome problem. Although it's not a big business, if it continues to develop, the risk will be too high. I won't be able to turn the tide alone. Moreover, the s.h.i.+ family's foundation is overseas. The domestic companies that are comparable to the s.h.i.+ family's business might not be willing to take the risk."

Li Ci smiled at Zhao Mian. "No wonder you followed her here today. You want me to help, right? Don't worry. Even if I have to sell myself to you, I will help…"

Yuan Shu didn't pay attention to their conversation. She was organizing her own thoughts.

After the call yesterday, she investigated Li Ci. The internet was really convenient. If she wanted to find anything, she could just search for it. It was like having hundreds of spies. All the information she wanted was right in front of her.

Yuan Shu realized that if the s.h.i.+ family was a family of businessmen, then the Li family was a family of bureaucrats, and they were quite powerful.

From their conversation today, something had happened to a small shop called "Yuan An" in the s.h.i.+ family. If the s.h.i.+ family only had to bear the responsibility, the losses would only be a small portion, but it would alarm the people and even implicate the government.

Therefore, the best solution was to find a few more businessmen to share the risk with or ask the government for help.

However, most of the businesses with the same strength as the s.h.i.+ family's business were compet.i.tors. Therefore, they could only ask the Li family, which had ties to the government, to help. When the funds were stabilized, they could naturally overcome the difficulties.

However… there might be another solution.

Yuan Shu was thinking of a countermeasure and didn't notice that the two people who had finished their conversation were looking at her.
