"Assistant Zhao, I would like to ask, what exactly is this Miss Zhang's understanding of the project? Could you tell us about it?"

"After all, we will need to coordinate between various departments when the time comes," someone said directly.

They truly did not believe that two young girls could be that capable; if that were really the case, then they themselves would truly be freeloaders, even worse than two young girls.

At the same time, some people associated this matter with Huo Zhiyuan.

Coupled with issues like the seniority of Zhang Siyan and Qian Li within their company, in this instant, many people seemed to have figured it all out.

This was purely a play staged by Huo Zhiyuan to help Zhang Siyan climb the ladder, and they were all just background props, or perhaps stepping stones for Zhang Siyan.

Therefore, there was some indignation and anger in many people's eyes; they were, after all, high-level executives of the company, and now Huo Zhiyuan was treating them like monkeys just to help two young girls get ahead—wasn't this just purely playing them for fools?

Those with even a slight temper could not stand this, so they all looked at Zhang Siyan, wanting to hear what she could actually say; if Zhang Siyan failed to answer well today, then the matter would not be so easily resolved.

Zhang Siyan was a bit flustered being stared at by so many people, but she took a deep breath, and just as she was about to speak, Qian Li on the side said loudly: "What is wrong with you people? What? Can't you accept a loss after betting? It's a shame that you are all so old, and you are company executives, yet you are such sore losers?"

Qian Li knew that it was best for Zhang Siyan not to offend these people, as Zhang Siyan would still have to work within Kangshilan in the future and would need these people's help for many things, so she would be the villain; anyway, she was already used to it.

"Why do you care how Siyan convinced Mr. Rahama? The end result is that Mr. Rahama wants to cooperate with Siyan, not you—isn't that enough?" The more Qian Li spoke, the more indignant she became.

Someone sneered: "Miss Qian, there's no point in saying these things. Do you really take us all for fools? To be toyed with by others?"

"That's right, if you don't give us an explanation today, then don't blame us for not giving President Huo any face."

Seeing that the situation was gradually spiraling out of control, Zhao Jingyu could not help but feel a bit nervous; she had actually felt from the beginning that this method of Huo Zhiyuan's was too crude.

However, she also had some confidence in her heart, so she cast her gaze toward Mr. Rahama; as long as he spoke up now, then no matter how angry these people were, they would have to endure it, and it would further strengthen Zhang Siyan's voice within the company.

But something very unexpected happened to Zhao Jingyu: this Mr. Rahama acted as if he did not see her gaze, standing quietly to the side without saying a word, seemingly not wanting to interfere in their company's internal affairs.

Now Zhao Jingyu was a bit panicked—could it be that some other accident had occurred?

If Rahama did not speak, Zhao Jingyu could hardly imagine what these people would do next, and she did not know what the situation would evolve into.

But Zhao Jingyu knew that if that happened, not only would Zhang Siyan be in trouble, but Huo Zhiyuan's trouble would not be small either; this was the anger of the majority of the high-level executives, which really could not be easily dispelled.

Moreover, these people also represented the interests of most of the other shareholders; once there was any slip-up here, the trouble brought to Huo Zhiyuan would be enormous.

"Mr. Rahama?" Zhao Jingyu could only call out in a low voice.

Hearing her voice, Rahama gave a slightly bitter smile: "Assistant Zhao, you shouldn't be asking us about this; we are not people from your company and have no way to restrain these people. This is your business."

In fact, Rahama was also a bit confused; previously, he had indeed been prepared to bring out Prince Haiman at this moment.

But last time, Huo Zhiyuan had come to him personally and told him some things, and she had also guessed that this situation would occur.

At that time, Huo Zhiyuan had told them not to worry about these matters, and Rahama had even asked, what if the situation spiraled out of control? They wouldn't be able to answer to Prince Haiman.

At that time, Huo Zhiyuan had only said very calmly, "Someone will come forward to resolve this matter when the time comes, and it will be better than you coming forward."

Speaking of the end, Rahama could even see the smile on this President Huo's face, and at the same time, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he also saw a hint of playfulness in the eyes of this famous iron lady?

Zhao Jingyu took a deep breath; she did not know how things had suddenly turned out like this, as this was completely different from what she had thought before.

However, at this moment, she could only call Huo Zhiyuan; before that, Zhao Jingyu could not just let things develop like this.

"Miss Zhang, you explain your philosophy and ideas to everyone; I'm going to make a call to President Huo," Zhao Jingyu said in a low voice.

Explaining the ideas would take at least half an hour, so if Huo Zhiyuan came over, there would be plenty of time.

Zhang Siyan nodded, then had someone bring over the projector in the conference room and began her explanation of the ideas.

These ideas were actually prepared for her by Zhao Jingyu, or rather, Huo Zhiyuan; after all, she had been completely clueless about these things before, but after these days of hard work, she had fully understood the content, so there was not a single stutter in her explanation.

Zhao Jingyu went to the side and began to call Huo Zhiyuan; after the call went through, she recounted what had just happened.

"President Huo, why don't you come over? If you don't come forward now, I'm afraid those people won't accept Miss Zhang, and besides..." Zhao Jingyu did not say the rest, but the meaning was very clear.

Given the current situation, even if Huo Zhiyuan came, it would likely be difficult to make everyone convinced.

She did not know how things had evolved into this, but in her mind, this should not be the situation Huo Zhiyuan wanted to see.

Zhao Jingyu had originally thought that Huo Zhiyuan would be furious or nervous, but the next moment, she knew she was wrong.

"Oh, I see. I won't come over; you find someone else," Huo Zhiyuan said indifferently, but Zhao Jingyu heard a hint of a smile in Huo Zhiyuan's tone.

Zhao Jingyu was stunned; what did Huo Zhiyuan mean by this?

Could it be that Huo Zhiyuan had changed her mind? Did she not want to hand the company over to Zhang Siyan anymore?

And what did she mean by finding someone else?

Zhao Jingyu just wanted to ask carefully, but she discovered that Huo Zhiyuan had already hung up the phone.

She stood there at a loss, but very quickly, a name suddenly flashed through Zhao Jingyu's mind: Zhang Ran!

The moment she thought of this name, she understood everything that had happened before—why Huo Zhiyuan was not in a hurry, and why Rahama chose to stand by at this time.

At this moment, Zhao Jingyu suddenly had a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
