Chapter 477: Two People Competing

When he said this, Dong Li’s heart was filled with emotions. He lowered his eyes and sighed deeply. He shook his head and said, “No matter how hard we try, there’s nothing we can do. We’re already so old. Our analysis of the market and the direction and research of new companies in the future are no longer comparable to young people. Instead of letting the rest of our lives bear a heavy debt, why don’t we take our hands off it as soon as possible? Maybe we can sell the company’s shares and repay the money we owed previously. We can still save some savings for our retirement in the future!”

Upon hearing Dong Li’s words, Secretary Chen understood that he had already made up his mind. He did not continue to persuade the man. He picked up the financial report on the table and nodded in agreement before preparing to leave.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. A staff member in charge of the front desk of the corporation stood at the office door respectfully and said, “Chairman, a very beautiful girl wants to see you. She has been sitting at the door and emphasizing to me that she has something important to discuss with you in person. As she didn’t make an appointment in advance, I don’t know if I should let her in. Look…”

After pondering quietly for a moment, Dong Li scratched his head and looked up at Secretary Chen beside him in confusion. He asked in surprise, “Which boss who has been discussing business with us recently has a girl in his family?”

When Secretary Chen heard this, he lowered his head slightly and thought seriously for half a minute. He said with a grave tone, “Chairman, I don’t remember any CEO having a daughter…”

Upon hearing this, Dong Li wanted to reject her, but the internal landline on the table rang. A staff member downstairs reported that the girl insisted on seeing him.

Seeing that the person seemed to really have something important to see him about, Dong Li nodded. He looked straight at the door and instructed loudly, “Alright, I understand. Bring her up.”

The staff was very efficient. Once they received Dong Li’s approval, they brought Jiang Yu up from the reception hall downstairs in a few minutes.

Jiang Yu had specially come to look for Dong Li to discuss a collaboration today. In the competition with Huo Xuan yesterday, the reason why she had chosen the Dong Corporation was because she had accidentally came across a financial newspaper on her phone a few days ago. The largest headlines of the newspapers said that the Dong Corporation would officially sell its shares today.

After gaining a simple understanding of the Dong Corporation’s development and profits in recent years, she understood that the corporation had already suffered serious losses and could not make ends meet. That was why she chose this company at her first glance.

This was the first round of her competition with Huo Xuan. She definitely had to get a good start. After understanding the Dong Corporation’s history and company operations in detail last afternoon, she rushed over after lunch today.

She followed the staff and pushed open the office door. The moment she entered, Jiang Yu looked around at the structure of the chairman’s office. When she realized that she was one step ahead of Huo Xuan, the girl smiled in satisfaction.

Seeing Jiang Yu enter, Dong Li stood up from his desk very politely and extended his hand respectfully to the girl. He said in a low voice, “Hello, Miss. I’m the chairman of the Dong Corporation, Dong Li.”

Jiang Yu shook hands with Dong Li simply as a greeting. She did not want to waste time talking nonsense. She cleared her throat and went straight to the point. “Chairman, we are straightforward people. If there’s anything, I’ll be frank. I specially came to look for you today to discuss the future development of the Dong Corporation with you personally.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Li frowned without batting an eyelid. He emphasized with some difficulty, “Miss, I think you might not understand the current situation of our corporation. In recent years, the company under the corporation has been incurring losses for the past few years. We have already applied for bankruptcy and settlement. If you’re talking about cooperation, you should find another company!”
