Zhao Yanxia naturally wanted to stay in the country. She was a native of the capital, and after living there for decades, she had long grown accustomed to its environment and lifestyle.
For those few days abroad, every meal was bread. Not to mention the children, she herself was tired of eating it.
"I'm not going back!" Her eyes held a fierce glint. "As long as you haven't lied to me, I'll support whatever you do."
Di Dongsheng stepped forward and stroked Zhao Yanxia's hair.
...
Wu Corporation's project progressed rapidly. Within two days, the project was officially launched.
Before the launch, Wu Jie specifically convened a press conference.
Prior to the commencement, he specially invited a mysterious guest in front of numerous reporters.
The lights converged on the entrance. Reporters hoisted their cameras, aiming them at the spotlight.
"Isn't that the young CEO of Di Jue Group?"
"Am I seeing this correctly? How have we never heard rumors that Di Jue Group is also participating in this project?"
"No wonder the scale of this event is so grand!"
Those in the invited seating areas chattered amongst themselves.
Di Dongsheng approached Wu Jie and met his gaze.
"You're all seeing correctly. The partner for this project is the young CEO. Next, the young CEO will explain why he is participating in this project." Wu Jie handed him the microphone.
Looking at the reporters and well-known entrepreneurs in the audience, Di Dongsheng spoke calmly, "My willingness to join is primarily because I believe the project is good. As for how good it is, no amount of words can convey it as clearly as what everyone will witness later."
After he finished, applause erupted from the audience.
People might not give face to Wu Jie, but Di Dongsheng was different. In public, he represented Di Jue Group, and he would carefully consider any decision before making it.
After Di Dongsheng returned the microphone to Wu Jie, he then had the projected implementation details displayed on the screen behind them. After a series of actions were completed, the two posed for a photo together, concluding the press conference.
As soon as the articles about Di Dongsheng's participation in Wu Corporation's project were published online, it caused an uproar in Di Jue Group.
The articles clearly stated that Di Dongsheng's participation was in the name of Di Jue Group. This implied that Di Jue Group was involved in the project, drawing more attention to it.
Other corporations were also shocked. Although Wu Corporation's project was good, there was no need for Di Jue Group to lower itself to collaborate with them.
At this moment, Di Jue Group was in chaos. Every department was like ants on a hot pan, scorched with anxiety.
Shen Lin was blocking calls from various magazines in the assistant's office. The security guards at the entrance were also busy, with many reporters seizing the opportunity to sneak into the company for exclusive news.
The shareholders rushed over, and Di Mingjue convened a shareholders' meeting.
He instructed Shen Lin to call Di Dongsheng. Upon learning that he would return in half an hour, the start time for the shareholders' meeting was scheduled for then.
Di Dongsheng returned to the company after leaving the press conference. He watched as the shareholders entered the company. The delay was deliberate, to inconvenience Di Mingjue.
After two cups of coffee, he emerged from the coffee shop downstairs.
Conference Room.
Di Dongsheng pushed open the door and entered. Everyone inside was already seated in a neat row. Of course, Di Mingjue was also present.
Everyone's gaze fixed on him, their expressions grim.
"Tell us, what's the situation with the Wu Corporation project?" Third Uncle impatiently inquired before Di Dongsheng had even fully entered.
Di Dongsheng listened and walked to the front of the conference room. He glanced at Di Mingjue beside him and took a USB drive from his pocket.
He plugged the drive into the computer at the back, and the large screen lit up. He fiddled with the computer and addressed everyone, "Once you've seen this, all your curiosities will be answered."
Saying this, he began to play the content bit by bit.
After watching the content, the expression of Third Uncle, who had been the most displeased, softened considerably.
