Li Changzhi in the vicinity heard this, his eyebrows nearly furrowing into a disastrous angle.
Chen Jiaming remained expressionless.
Soon after, as if pre-arranged, the directors collectively arrived.
Li Changzhi sneered, "Trying to insult people? It’s akin to shooting oneself in the foot."
Clearly, this scene was bound to cause some commotion.
Thus, the executives seated inside couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
Gu Nuan stood on the podium in the central conference room and said to the tardy directors, "If you see an available seat, please sit. If there aren’t any, and you wish to stay, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to stand."
For those in power, how could they possibly stand? Normally, they’re accustomed to throwing their weight around in the company and being flattered. So, some walked in and exchanged glances with familiar faces inside.
Some employees, genuinely intimidated, stood and conceded their seats.
With a snort, many swaggered into others’ seats. Of course, some put on a show of politeness, but ultimately still sat down.
Gu Nuan seemed very patient watching everything unfold below.
Once mostly everyone found their places, Gu Nuan said, "If there are no questions, let’s begin."
"I have a question!"
A hand was raised in the crowd.
Everyone looked over, and surprisingly, it wasn’t a director’s hand, but an executive’s.
Gu Nuan said, "Please stand to speak."
The person stood, facing Gu Nuan, and said, "If you invited us here for a meeting and also brought the directors, what is the meaning of this?"
It was evident that some of the seated executives were quite displeased, thinking Gu Nuan respected them, but were now feeling insulted in front of the directors.
Gu Nuan glanced around and said, "It means nothing. I just wanted to see how many would surrender their seats."
A stir went through the room.
Many turned pale, especially those who had given up their seats.
"You—" A director spoke, slapping his thigh as if to protest for everyone present, saying, "If you’re the acting chairman of this company, you shouldn’t distrust your own employees. This is only your first day in this role—"
His words seemed reasonable, and as people were about to discuss, Gu Nuan stated, "I’m honored everyone knows, Changda is no longer Chairman Xiao’s, but mine."
With that, she immediately dismissed the notion that she was just an acting authority.
Everyone inside naturally felt a jolt in their hearts.
"Alright, let’s proceed to the formal agenda. Today, having executives and directors sit together is simple—it’s directly related to the reforms Changda is about to undertake. As for why Changda needs reform, there’s no need to explain further; the reports in the external media have made the facts clear. It was also my promise to persuade those big investors to stand with me when I acquired Changda."
It is said that Changda’s financial status has shown loopholes, and the main business profits have collectively declined steeply, which is a fact well known by the executives, thus no one could dispute Gu Nuan’s argument for reform.
What reforms does Gu Nuan intend?
"First, let’s discuss the three major directions of the group’s reforms. Firstly, starting today, executives who have worked for the company for more than five years will have the benefit of technical equity to become company directors. Henceforth, half of the board seats will generally belong to investors, and the other half to technical equity executives."
