Rong Xinghe arrived at Rong Empire"s headquarters to attend a meeting with the shareholders."So how do you plan to hike up the profit rate of the business , Ma"am ?", a young lady asked.
"We are quite curious to know your opinions , Ms. Xinghe.", Ron Ray smiled encouragingly at the girl.
"So currently , Rong Business Group primarily focuses on trade marketing , gold jewelry , and poultry. All the three of them are a lose-lose. Gold jewelry is not into trend around the globe. This particular business is only successful in culturally diverse countries like India. After that , trade marketing isn"t always at loss. But we don"t have efficient staff and required technology for that. And lastly , Poultry isn"t actually too huge of a scale work.
"You all have been running this company the way former CEO left it. At that time , all these things were prosperous. But today , everything is completely outdated. Too bad , Mr. Yufan didn"t even thought about all this.", the girl said as she closed the files in front of her.
"So what do you propose , Ma"am ?", a middle-aged shareholder asked. It wasn"t that they hadn"t though of all this. But Rong Yufan was too proud to listen to anyone. He was simply sitting around and destroying Rong Xinghe"s father"s hard earned money.
"Well... give an extension period of six months to all the employees of all these three companies. They should be able to find a new job in that much time. We will close down all the three businesses after that.", the girl looked at everyone seriously.
The entire room broke out into confused murmurs after few seconds of silence.
After sometime , Ron Ray asked the girl ,"What will we invest in after that ? You seem to be prepared about it."
Rong Xinghe smiled and nodded her head ,"Technology and Software development. The only business where profit is inevitable."
The shareholders looked at each other with shocked expressions. From trade marketing to technology. What a huge transformation ! Many of them had doubts about it but they had no right to question this woman. They had themselves approved her earlier. Only when the business would face a loss could they blame her.
Rong Xinghe , of course , knew this. Businessmen had only one priority : profits. But she was eventually going to satisfy them.
Another reason for choosing this particular business idea was her brothers. Lu Wei was an "Estate Lion" as most of the Lu Corporations focused on property management. While Zhi Xi aced the field of "Corporate Business". She didn"t intended to compete the two men in their game. After all , they were the ones who had taught her business in the first place. And if she was to think of collaborating with them , then she was afraid that she wouldn"t be able to maintain the individuality of the Rong group. She didn"t wanted to disappoint her father , so she selected this option. Both the men were supporting her with any of her decisions anyway.
"Will we involve military in our new plan as well , Ma"am ?", one of the shareholders asked excitedly.
But to his fright , Rong Xinghe"s expression turned icy cold as she glared at him angrily ,"Firstly , when I am here , I am just a businesswoman and not a Military Chief. So don"t mix up my ident.i.ties. Secondly , no one is capable enough to involve the military into their money-making. It is the army who decides whom they want to honour by accepting them. And thirdly , a mere software development plan can never provide the military with the advanced technology it requires. They need skilled personnel by their side. Am I clear ?!"
When faced with Rong Xinghe"s cold robotic manner of speech , chills ran down the spines of every shareholder in the meeting room. Clearly , military was a sensitive topic for this woman. If they wanted to survive in Rong Empire , they"d better watch their tongues while mentioning the three mighty forces of Country X !
______________
After the meeting ended , Rong Xinghe headed to the Military Chief Office.
This was how her life was going to be like from now on. Revolving around Rong Corporations and Military Chief duties. But she forgot about one person. Xi Yuan. This wife-doting individual would never allow his woman to suffer that much. Although he couldn"t do anything about the military , he was a renowned businessman. She simply had to wait for one more day and her admirer would be back.
"Xinghe ! There was a message delivered to us via Network socket from South Yemen. I am not able to decode that. Almost every bureaucrat in the Military Chief Team has tried it as well but every attempt went in vain.", Feng Mian breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw Rong Xinghe enter her office cabin.
"Hmm. What is the message ?", the girl asked as she removed her jacket and covered it over her chair.
"Um... okay its... ", Feng Mian nodded and looked down at the piece of paper in her hand ,
" Spy , Spy , Spy ! The guard needs to die !
It must be dagger or it can be the barud from the hole ,
When the guard bleeds the blood ,
The sky will bow and the ocean will blow."
"And then there is something written in Arabic.", Feng Mian sighed ,"I was about to search it on the internet when you came."
Rong Xinghe"s brows furrowed slightly when she listened to the secret message from Feng Mian ,"Don"t bother. Give the sheet to me. I know Arabic."
Feng Mian was stunned speechless when the girl said the words casually but she still pa.s.sed on the paper in her hand to her.
"Hmm. الهدف X البلد . This means "Country X Target". So the attack is going to be on country X. Now if we connect the dots , "guard needs to die" can be anyone. It can be the Air Force Chief , Armed Force Chief , Naval Force Chief or me. They seem to be tapping our activities. "Barud" in Arabic means gunpowder. So barud from the hole must mean bullet from the gun. They might send their trained a.s.sa.s.sins for the mission.
"And lastly , after their target or "guard" of Country X as they say , dies , they will perform their original plan. "Sky will bow" is just a method to convey that Air Force won"t be able to do anything. And "ocean will blow" must mean that the attack will be against Country X"s Navy. Great !", Rong Xinghe chuckled with a darkened gaze ,"Could the message be any more childish ?!"
Childish ? It took them the entire morning to figure out what it meant and she was saying that it was childish. Just because she was abnormally smart , did it mean that she could laugh at them like that ?
"Tell all the three chiefs to be alert all the time for coming few days and inform the Naval Chief to meet me. Country X will obviously respond to them in an equally brutal manner. We need to execute our plan when the time comes. Increase security of all the military higher ups and no need to warn MCST. They are already following me everywhere I go in civil clothes.", the girl said as she sat down on the chair. Of course , the orders were directed towards Shou Wu. She had something important to discuss with Feng Mian.
"Xinghe... can I ask you how man languages you exactly know ?", Feng Mian asked the girl.
Rong Xinghe smiled as she replied honestly ,"Eleven."
Feng Mian : "....."
