Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Fang Dayong said:

"First, I want Ceng Shun to come and apologize to you. Ceng Shun's words this morning offended you, and that really shouldn't have happened. Even if we don't work as colleagues, we can still be friends. There's truly no need to hurt the harmony over a small business matter, President Du, don't you agree?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled and said: "That's true. As expected, General Manager Fang, your format is large."

"Ceng Shun!" Fang Dayong gave Ceng Shun a look.

Ceng Shun was somewhat unwilling. Before coming, Fang Dayong hadn't told him that he would have to personally apologize to Du Xiaojuan and admit fault.

This person actually cares quite a bit about face.

Not to mention the current Du Xiaojuan, even the Du Xiaojuan who was previously the top person at Xiao Du Technology, he looked down on a bit.

After all, he is a top student from a domestic top 10 university, while Du Xiaojuan is a rural little sister who never even went to university. In his view, Du Xiaojuan just had better luck, happened to step on the windfall of the era's trend, and that's why she possesses her current wealth.

However, now that Fang Dayong explicitly demanded he apologize to Du Xiaojuan, no matter how unwilling, he didn't dare to openly defy Fang Dayong's order.

So, with a reluctant heart, he lowered his head and said to Du Xiaojuan:

"President Du, regarding this morning's matter, I was rash. I'm truly sorry."

Du Xiaojuan saw at a glance that Ceng Shun's apology lacked sincerity, but she didn't press the issue.

Instead, she let it go with a smile:

"President Ceng, this morning's matter, I let go of long ago. So you actually don't need to apologize to me. The one you should apologize to is General Manager Fang. Look at General Manager Fang, he clearly cares a lot about this matter."

Fang Dayong chuckled, crying out inwardly: This Du Xiaojuan, so vicious, actually deliberately used words to shift the conflict onto him and Ceng Shun!

"Ceng Shun, you don't need to apologize to me either. You should apologize to yourself. Remember, in business, keeping your mouth shut is even more important than knowing how to do things."

Ceng Shun lowered his head and hurriedly said:

"General Manager Fang's lesson is correct. I will definitely change my bad habit of not being able to control my mouth in the future!"

Seeing Ceng Shun's embarrassed look, Du Xiaojuan smiled and changed the subject:

"General Manager Fang, speaking of which, what is the second matter you came to find me for?"

Fang Dayong said:

"There's been a bit of a problem with Xiao Du Technology's supply chain. Wanjia Commodities, this supply channel, suddenly raised prices on us by 50%. President Du, you should be aware of this, right?"

Du Xiaojuan's face showed sudden realization:

"So General Manager Fang came to find me for this matter. Then I'm afraid you've found the wrong person."

Fang Dayong was stunned for a moment, brows furrowing slightly:

"Oh? Is that so? But how did I hear that President Du is one of Wanjia Commodities' shareholders?"

Du Xiaojuan didn't deny it either. After all, this information can be found online. Corporate information is very public and transparent now.

She said:

"That's right. I am a shareholder and one of the founders of Wanjia Commodities. However, my equity is small, my decision-making authority is small. Hu Wanjia, President Hu, he holds over forty percent of Wanjia Commodities' equity. You should go talk to him. This price hike was proposed by him single-handedly. I expressed opposition long ago, but the opposition was ineffective."

Fang Dayong didn't show even a bit of sincerity, so Du Xiaojuan naturally wouldn't easily agree to his request.

So she didn't even wait for Fang Dayong to speak, directly throwing the pot to Hu Wanjia, using this method to block Fang Dayong's mouth.

This old fox of the commercial battlefield, Fang Dayong, is so clever.

He naturally saw through Du Xiaojuan's intention at a glance.

And he also knew in his heart that coming to find Du Xiaojuan today, not cutting flesh was impossible. Wanting to buy Du Xiaojuan with just a small box of gifts — that was impossible.

When Du Xiaojuan accepted the gift, she didn't even look at the gift once.

"President Du, I'm not familiar with Hu Wanjia. Having me go communicate with him is not as good as asking you to help me go communicate with him. How about this: you name a price. As long as the price isn't too outrageous, I'll agree to it."

The corner of Du Xiaojuan's mouth curled up slightly. This was exactly the effect she wanted.

But she didn't directly name a price either. This good dish needs to be simmered slowly, stewed slowly.

"General Manager Fang, are you sure you can make the decision? Xiao Du Technology doesn't belong to you alone. It belongs to a crowd of executives and shareholders. Not to mention, behind it is Zhonghai Group — will they agree to your approach?"

Fang Dayong said:

"Before coming here, I already reported the situation to Zhonghai Group. They approved my approach."

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan nodded in satisfaction:

"It seems General Manager Fang truly came with sincerity today. Since that's the case, I'll also show you my sincerity. Me going to communicate with Wanjia Commodities, persuading Wanjia Commodities to lower the supply price back to the original level — that's not impossible. But I must buy back the shares I previously held in Xiao Du Technology, let me retake control of Xiao Du Technology, and possess absolute decision-making power over the company's general direction and major strategy."

Fang Dayong said:

"President Du wants to hold shares again. We are naturally extremely willing. This is completely no problem."

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"I will only repurchase at the current market price."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Dayong's expression froze.

Right now, Xiao Du Technology, being manipulated like this by Wanjia Commodities, has seen its market valuation by professional institutions drop significantly.

When Du Xiaojuan sold her equity, she cashed out over seventy million. But now to repurchase the same amount of equity, at most it would only need fifty-something million.

This in-and-out, Du Xiaojuan's equity not one share less, directly netted a profit of over two thousand ten thousand!

This is too ruthless!

However, after Fang Dayong froze for a moment, the look in his eyes toward Du Xiaojuan turned into appreciation.

If Du Xiaojuan weren't ruthless, he wouldn't appreciate her.

Only ruthless people can achieve results in the high-end ecological niche of the commercial battlefield.

Only then can one lead a company onto a better path of development.

"Fine, this is completely no problem, market behavior, General Manager Du your request is reasonable and fair."

Fang Dayong ultimately nodded in agreement.

Du Xiaojuan spoke again at this time:

"Additionally, because I have already exited Xiao Du Technology once, that is to say, our previous listing agreement has already been invalidated, so this time I am rejoining Xiao Du Technology, I will not exit Xiao Du Technology's management after the company goes public, and you also cannot have this requirement towards me."

"General Manager Du, isn't this a bit of a lion's big mouth on your part?" Ceng Shun couldn't bear to watch anymore, truly couldn't help it, and uttered this one sentence.

"Ceng Shun, wasn't it just said to you, you have to watch your mouth, how come you forgot so fast?"

Fang Dayong glanced at Ceng Shun.

Ceng Shun immediately realized he had misspoken:

"Sorry General Manager Fang, I was wrong."

Du Xiaojuan said with a laugh:

"If you all disagree with the requirements I proposed, then you can only invite another capable person."

Du Xiaojuan had nothing to fear, because she knew, Fang Dayong this person is best at weighing pros and cons, and inviting her Du Xiaojuan back to Xiao Du Technology is the optimal solution to resolve the current predicament, because this approach has the smallest cost.

Du Xiaojuan also said:

"Actually the requirements I raised are not excessive at all. I want back the equity that originally belonged to me, this is very reasonable and fair, right? I worked hard to build the company to listing, sharing the cake together with everyone, is also a normal demand, right? Most importantly, if Xiao Du Technology loses Du Xiaojuan, is it still called Xiao Du Technology? Just like if Alibaba loses Ma Yun, it would no longer be called Alibaba, General Manager Fang you are a smart person, you should understand this point even more clearly than me."

Fang Dayong slowly nodded.

Have to admit, Du Xiaojuan's words make sense.

Recently a short period of time, Xiao Du Technology lost Du Xiaojuan, the company from top to bottom, all experienced no small shock.

Their Zhonghai Faction, no matter how great their power, ultimately are just a barbarian who forcibly barged in to scrape a share of the cake, scraping cake they are good at, but making cake they are not so good at.

To make the cake bigger, still have to retain the company's soul figure.

So after a round of consideration, Fang Dayong ultimately agreed to Du Xiaojuan's proposed requirements:

"Alright, then I agree to General Manager Du your two proposed requirements, I now have only one demand, that is General Manager Du you hurry back, the company top to bottom, are all hoping for you to return and preside over the overall situation."
