Chapter 1636: Stop (1)
Dongfang Liuyun was not a pushover either. It was not certain who was going to give in to whom!
Ding Xiaoling’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly took the doc.u.ment, “Yes, how could I have forgotten! The higher-ups had spoken and asked them to do their best to cooperate with our work. Now that they haven’t finished handing over the work, we can certainly ask them to come over and explain things to us personally. When the meeting doc.u.ments are handed over, they won’t be able to find fault with us if something is wrong. Manager Yun, you’re the smartest!”
Ding Xiaoling’s eyes flashed with admiration. She was somewhat impressed by Dongfang Liuyun’s nimble mind.
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyes and looked at her. She was satisfied with her reaction. “Hurry up and get to work.”
Ding Xiaoling nodded and quickly left the office.
Dongfang Liuyun also got up and left the office. She went straight to the top floor, the President’s office.
When she walked into the office, Dongfang Gan was on the phone. When he saw Dongfang Liuyun enter, he pointed to the seat in front of him and gestured for Dongfang Liuyun to sit down. He simply explained some things to the person on the other end.
Dongfang Liuyun did not stand on ceremony and sat down. She reached out to take the doc.u.ment in front of Dongfang Gan and started flipping through it—
It was the South River Project’s proposal…
Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows and flipped through a few more pages, roughly skimming through the doc.u.ment.
“This is the proposal submitted by your Second Uncle.” Dongfang Gan hung up the phone and said as he looked at Dongfang Liuyun, who was flipping through the doc.u.ment in front of him.
“He wants to get this project through you, father?”
Dongfang Liuyun’s lips curled into a playful smile as she said with interest, “That’s a good idea, but what makes him think that you will help him get it? Isn’t Dongfang Ren also looking forward to this project? Moreover, as far as I know, Dongfang Rou’er and the others are very enthusiastic about this project and have done as much preparation as they did. This proposal is well written. When it was sent to you, the other Vice Presidents and some shareholders should have received it as well. Is he planning to take advantage of the meeting later to propose a preemptive strike?”
“This is a move your Second Uncle has always used. Him sending this proposal to me is making things quite difficult for me.”
Dongfang Gan reached out to take the doc.u.ment from Dongfang Liuyun’s hand. After pondering for a moment, he continued, “We can only wait and see what your uncle will do next.”
“Let them fight it out on their own. Didn’t Tai Yu Corporation say that they would send someone to inspect? You could just pa.s.s on these two proposals to them.”
“Alright, don’t play around with me here. I know Qi Lei will definitely reveal his secrets to you. If this project is to be done, the amount of work will be huge. I can’t take the risk and just hand it over to you. I’ve already asked Vice President Zhang to do a data a.n.a.lysis and plan. I plan to let him be in charge of this project, but you can be the Executive Manager,” said Dongfang Gan.
However, Dongfang Liuyun did not think much of this, “I won’t be the Executive Manager. Instead, I can be Vice President Zhang’s temporary special a.s.sistant to a.s.sist in the development of the work. As for the Executive Manager, I think Lin Yuanyuan would be more suitable. Of course, let one of Second Uncle’s people be Executive Director. Father, don’t you think this arrangement is the most perfect?”
“Let them all partic.i.p.ate in this project. Our people will just watch from the outside. First Uncle and Second Uncle are both bent on taking down this project. If you choose either side or make it clear that we are working alone, then we will offend the other side. If this is the arrangement, then it seems like we can watch from the outside. Not only can we shut their mouths, we can also…”
At this point, Dongfang Liuyun did not continue. Yet, Dongfang Gan also came to a sudden realization. His dark eyes could not help but flash with admiration. He looked at his daughter with great satisfaction and said with a smile, “Good! Good! Good idea! As expected of my daughter. With your talent and resourcefulness, father is not worried about handing over this company to you!”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him, “I don’t know anything about the company, so I can only talk about the facts. I’ll leave the rest for you to worry about. Besides, I still have to organize the new product launch next month. Qi Lei has actually pa.s.sed the inspection of our company in private. The rest will be up to you.”
“Is he doing this for your sake?” Dongfang Gan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her meaningfully.
“The South River Project is a very huge project, and its impact is very wide and far-reaching. In business matters, he follows his principles. It’s not a joke, and I won’t let him give me face. If the Dongfang Group really doesn’t have the ability, I would be against it too. This is a matter of principles.” Dongfang Liuyun spoke very frankly.
“However, I have enough confidence in our Dongfang Group. The prerequisite is that we can’t let internal conflicts affect the development of the project. This is also the reason why I gave the earlier suggestion.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Gan nodded. “You’re right…”
Dongfang Liuyun stood up leisurely. “That’s all I wanted to talk to you about, I’ll leave the rest up to you. Oh, right, father, what did you want to talk to Qi Lei about?” Dongfang Liuyun was curious about their conversation, so she asked.
Dongfang Gan glanced at her. “Why? Are you worried that I would give Qi Lei a hard time?”
“His ability to withstand pressure is beyond your imagination. I told him about Lan Xiu, and his reaction was very calm. So I think you must have mentioned Lan Xiu to him. Father, those memories are not good memories. I hope that we can forget and not care about each other’s past, perhaps we’d live a little more freely.” Dongfang Liuyun thought for a moment and said so.
Dongfang Gan fell silent. He quietly looked at his daughter standing in front of him. “Don’t worry, if…”
” Lan Xiu…”
“He found out about my marriage with Qi Lei. He even came to me because of this. I told him that we were impossible and that we can only be friends for the rest of this lifetime. Father, I don’t mind you taking him in as your foster son. If that makes him feel better, let him… at least, he’d feel a sense of belonging. He’s said that he has always treated you like a father.”
Dongfang Liuyun looked down indifferently, and a hint of helplessness suddenly appeared in her tone. “He is a very good person. It’s a pity that I don’t have that kind of good fortune. I’ve let him down.”
She had let him down. If she had not asked that of him back then, they might not be in their current position and situation. They might not have fallen into a stifling stalemate…
