Lu Wenhui said in a low voice, “Otherwise, this problem will always become a problem that can’t be solved from the source.”
“I don’t agree. We didn’t do anything when it happened more than ten years ago. Why should we take responsibility now?”
“That’s right. It’s unfair, not only to the shareholders but also to the current employees.”
Everyone was discussing, and most of them disagreed with Lu Wenhui’s decision.
The door of the conference room opened. Zheng Mengvvei and Han Tian walked in at the same time.
Zheng Mengwei stood beside Lu Wenhui, asking with a smile, “President Lu, haven’t you discussed it yet?”
“Miss Zheng, this is an internal meeting. I hope you can give us some private time.”
“President Lu, don’t be too polite. I’m not here to criticize you or oppose you. I’m just here to seek cooperation with you. Since the matter can be easily resolved, why make such a big deal out of it?” Zheng Mengwei said with a smile. “Everyone, don’t you agree?”
Most of the shareholders nodded. “I think Miss Zheng’s words are reasonable.
Working with the Zheng family will be a huge opportunity for Hua Wen Jewelry. One of the options will bring us benefits, while the other won’t be beneficial to the company at all. President Lu, you should know which to choose, right?”
Lu Wenhui could tell that Zheng Mengwei had already grasped the mentality of the shareholders. Everyone was afraid of trouble and unwilling to bring up the past. Moreover, it was profitable for them to choose to work with the Zheng family.
Now, almost everyone had chosen to stand on Zheng Mengwei’s side.
She felt a chill in her heart as she said, “So, you’ve all made up your minds and won’t change them, right?”
“President Lu, I’m sorry. We’re all businesspeople here. We have to prioritize our interests.”
Lu Wenhui’s face was dark as she sat at the master seat with her arms crossed. Zheng Mengwei said, “President Lu, this is our cooperation agreement. The people from the legal department have already taken a look. Please take a look.
If there’s no problem, sign it.”
She placed the doc.u.ment in front of Lu Wenhui, almost certain that Lu Wenhui had no choice but to sign the cooperation agreement.
Lu Wenhui picked it up and looked at it seriously for a while. Then, she looked up and asked Zheng Mengwei, “Miss Zheng, this matter has always been a ticking time bomb. It’ll explode easily. Would you rather suppress it than solve it? This might also be a hidden danger to you, right?”
“President Lu, as long as we use enough strength, there’s nothing we can’t suppress.” Zheng Mengwei smiled confidently.
She reached out and patted the cooperation agreement heavily. “As long as one works hard, there’s nothing one can’t do.”
There was a strong threat in her words.
This meant that if Lu Wenhui refused to sign the cooperation agreement, Zheng Mengwei would be the one to blow up this matter. At that time, the risks would be uncontrollable.
Lu Wenhui picked up her pen, opened the cap, and put the tip down on the agreement.
Zheng Mengwei and Han Tian smiled at the same time.
However, Lu Wenhui turned the pen and smeared the ink heavily on the paper. Throwing down the pen, she did not sign it. She said, “I’m sorry, I don’t agree with the cooperation.”
The shareholders were in an uproar.
She stood up and said, “I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. Since this was my decision back then, I’ll personally apologize to the customers and bear all the losses. I’ll also bear the aftermath myself!”
The shareholders looked at each other.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Han Tian reminded her, “President Lu, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy for you to take the initiative to admit your mistake. We’ll make preparations and let everyone know that you were forced to come out and admit your mistake. We’ll also let everyone know that you hadn’t taken it to heart all the years prior…”
“You!” Lu Wenhui said angrily.
“We’re also helping consumers consider problems from their perspective. Besides, my family also bought some fake jewelry back then. As a consumer, I have the right to protect my own interests, right?” Han Tian asked.
The shareholders all advised Lu Wenhui in low voices not to make enemies with Zheng Mengwei and Han Tian. There was no need. In the end, both sides would suffer.
Zheng Mengwei found a seat and sat down, calmly waiting for Lu Wenhui to agree.
She was already confident of victory and was not afraid of Lu Wenhui turning the tables.
Han Tian said to her a.s.sistant beside her, “Go and print out some more cooperation agreements.”
“You don’t have to print them!” a familiar voice said.
Lu Wenhui was shocked and looked in the direction where Qiao Weiyang was talking.
Qiao Weiyang strode toward the conference room. She was wearing a decent lady’s suit, wide-legged pants, and high heels. She looked capable.
Zheng Mengwei and Han Tian frowned at the same time. She was in no position to appear here.
“Aunt Hui.” Qiao Weiyang stood still and said softly, “If you don’t want to cooperate, you don’t need to. No one can threaten you.”
Han Tian smiled and said, “Miss Qiao, you’re wrong. Who’s threatening President Lu? We’re here to discuss business, and it has nothing to do with threats. As a consumer, if President Lu is willing to compromise, I won’t pursue what happened back then. If President Lu isn’t willing to compromise, I’ll protect my right as a consumer. Is there a problem with that?”
“There’s indeed no problem with that. It’s normal for you to protect your rights,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly. “However, Aunt Hui has already said that she won’t cooperate with you, so why don’t you go ahead and protect your right now?”
Han Tian did not expect Qiao Weiyang to be unmoved!
She said, “Alright then. President Lu, there was a huge problem with the goods that you sold more than ten years ago. The batch of jewelry is all fake. The customers who spent a huge sum of money to buy the jewelry are kept in the dark about it. How do you plan to compensate them? How do you plan to protect the rights of that batch of customers?”
Lu Wenhui was about to speak when Qiao Weiyang stopped her and gave her a calm look, indicating that she didn’t have to worry.
With Qiao Weiyang around, Lu Wenhui was indeed more at ease. She calmed down and handed the stage to Qiao Weiyang, giving her full trust.
Qiao Weiyang said to Han Tian, “Sure. Then please take out the jewelry you bought previously. We’ll immediately check it and give you an explanation on the spot.”
At this point, Han Tian did not stand on ceremony. She immediately took out a necklace, a diamond ring, and a pair of earrings from her bag. She placed them in front of everyone. “Do you see these? These are the products of Hua Wen Jewelry from many years ago..”
