"As for Qingzhou," Xi Sen's eyes shifted slightly, "The 80 million investment funds you applied for cannot be divided into batches. Although the investment funds can be used for the project you proposed, I need you to come up with a more detailed and specific plan. Is that okay?"

Xi Qingzhou pursed his lips and nodded: "I can do that too."

He should be happy to have won the investment project.

But in fact, Xi Qingzhou himself knew that in the eyes of most shareholders and even his father, he should not be able to compare with Xi Qingqing.

Xi Qingqing answered questions fluently and with data to back them up, but his interpretation of the questions was superficial and clearly superior.

The only thing that can make him feel even and comfort himself is that the project plan is just a plan after all. The details of the plan preparation cannot determine success or failure. The actual operating data and profits can determine the final victory or failure.

Xi Qingzhou took a deep breath, and when he looked at Xi Qingqing again, there was a determination in his eyes.

In this case, let’s wait for the project results to come out and then look at the report to find out.

Xi Qingqing noticed her fourth brother's gaze and tilted her head with a slight smile.

Win or lose?

She is the fourth brother's opponent, but from the beginning to the end, her opponent is the gap that symbolizes the difference between men and women.

Not only did she want to defeat her fourth brother, she also wanted her abilities to be far superior to those of all her brothers, so that her father would be willing to cross the gap for her abilities.

Xi Sen looked away from Xi Qingzhou and smiled at everyone present. "I've decided to invest 130 million yuan in the Qingzhou and Qingqing projects. Do the directors have any other opinions on this?"

Any ideas?

No!

There were people who supported Xi Qingqing and people who supported Xi Qingzhou. There was no such thing as a guaranteed win in investment. Although investing in two projects at the same time was a bit risky, in fact, both projects were relatively stable and the risks were not that great.

Besides, what transition period is without its challenges? Those present are all successful individuals with years of experience in the business world, and they understand that all investments carry risks. Since both projects offer compelling investment opportunities, then invest!

One or two company executives who attended the board meeting were unwilling to support the decision. Xi Qinghang and Xi Qingfan had been with the company for years and had a few supporters. They naturally wanted to support their favorite young master, but without the shareholders' approval, they couldn't say anything.

After the investment issue was approved, the next topic of the board of directors was the configuration of the two investment groups and the specific business direction of Xi's Shipping this year, specifically in the next six months.

Xi Sen opened his mouth and spoke about the next part: "Regarding Xi's Shipping's plans for the next six months..."

After putting aside the heavy burden of Xi Qingqing's investment case, Fu Ziyan felt a lot more relaxed. She knew how hard Qingqing had worked over the past two weeks, and she even contributed to some of the networking and research. Although she didn't say it, she was actually hoping Qingqing would secure leadership of the investment team.

This was Fu Ziyan's first time attending the board of directors of Xi's Shipping. Due to the different business directions, the company's specific topics and discussion content were different from those of Fu's board of directors. Fu Ziyan listened very carefully. First, she could learn something from it, and second, she was now a shareholder of Xi's, so it was reasonable for her to pay attention to Xi's business dynamics.

Although Fu Ziyan wanted to join the board of directors to watch Qingqing show off her prowess, Fu Qiyuan gave her some shares to allow her to attend the meeting, but now that these shares have her name on them, she should manage them well.

"In addition, the company's personnel also need to make arrangements for changes."

"Xi Qingzhou formed Investment Team One, responsible for securitizing some shipping assets; Xi Qingqing formed Investment Team Two, responsible for the Kowloon Bay project; Xi Qingfan, who had worked in the Ship Operations Department for many years, continued to work on ship sales; Xi Qinghang worked in the Human Resources Department, responsible for arranging retraining for the company's technical staff..."

"Finance Department, responsible for following up..."

After a series of project discussions and votes, by the time Xi's Shipping's board meeting ended, it was almost two o'clock.

The eldest and second sons of the Xi family looked unhappy. After all, they had been working in the company for about ten years. How come, in the end, the project during the transformation period was taken over by the two youngest brothers and sisters?

It would be fine for Xi Qingzhou, after all, his father was partial when he was in the company, and some directors implicitly believed that Xi Qingzhou had the ability to inherit the company, but Xi Qingqing, this sister, was really beyond their expectations.

A girl who thought she was just coming to the company to gild herself so that she could get married, unexpectedly had the ambition to compete with them for the inheritance rights!

After this board meeting, no matter how much Xi Qinghang and Xi Qingfan believed that "inheritance rights belong to men", they had to admit that Xi Qingqing had fully revealed her ambition through this board meeting, and she had the ability to support her ambition.

What’s even more ridiculous is that my dad actually agreed!

The eldest brother, Xi Qinghang, was indignant. Looking at all the wealthy families in Hong Kong, which one didn't have the eldest son inherit the family business? His wife, the eldest son, had no children, so as the eldest brother, he naturally had the advantage of inheritance. It was fine if his father allowed the second and fourth sons to compete with him, but why did Xi Qingqing, his younger sister, also have the right to compete with him?

The second son Xi Qingfan was not too happy either.

The Xi family has been rich since their grandfather's generation and has been in business for three generations. The third generation heirs of a wealthy family should focus on harvesting and stabilizing the family business. If they blindly expand aggressively, they will lose all the family business if they are not careful.

While his eldest brother might be incompetent, he wasn't a complete loser. He'd been at the company for ten years, starting as an intern in a small position like the department director's secretary and working his way up to manager. While his abilities might not be enough to innovate, they were more than enough to maintain the company. Therefore, he'd always believed that with his steady and conservative nature, and with just a few years of immersion and learning from his father, he'd be a worthy successor.

Including this investment project, Xi Qingfan thinks his project is not bad. Although the profit is not very high, the most important thing during the transition period is to seek stability. Lao Si and Qingqing’s projects are still too radical!

But even such a safe project was directly rejected. On the contrary, Dad was willing to invest more than 100 million in the two radical projects of Lao Si and Qingqing.

Xi Qingfan frowned. After all, he just lacked the support of shareholders.

The fourth child had a wonderful mother who, even when he was still in elementary school, had been working to secure his inheritance. She'd arranged for two trusted directors and sisters who had influence with Daddy, one of whom was Daddy's personal assistant, handling menial tasks, and the other, now a director and the head of the finance department. This allowed the fourth child, through her charitable connections, to naturally secure the support of the directors and shareholders. And look how long he's been at the company, and he's already risen from manager to project leader.

It took him three years to work his way up to become a manager!

Xi Qingqing, her younger sister, had also been close to the eldest daughter of the Fu family since elementary school. Even when she was young, she had been maintaining this relationship, even though it was intentional and unintentional, and had managed to gain the support of Mr. and Miss Fu. And look at her now, Daddy had indeed given her some face.

Now that he still wants to compete for the position of heir, he can only do a good job in selling the ships at hand and let his father and the shareholder directors see his ability.

Xi Qingfan frowned and walked towards the office, intending to contact various companies that were interested in purchasing ships to sound out their connections and sell the ships efficiently.

The assistant waiting outside the conference room looked at the Second Young Master's face and said weakly, "Second Young Master, the wife called and said that the young master has a fever and is crying and wants to see you."

Xi Qingfan continued walking and said calmly, "Call your family doctor and ask him to come to your house. I'm not a doctor, so how can I help reduce your fever?"

"Yes." The assistant remembered the anxiety in the wife's tone, and compared it with the second young master's tone, and felt a little sympathy for the wife and the young master.

I heard the wife was also the daughter of a wealthy family, and she was infatuated with the Second Young Master for years before they finally got married. Unfortunately, the Second Young Master has always been indifferent to his wife. Three years after their marriage, they only have this one child. With the young master having a high fever, his wife must be extremely worried. This is really... how did it happen when the Second Young Master was in a bad mood after the board meeting?

If the second young master is in a good mood, he will definitely be willing to go back and spend time with the children.

Xi Qingfan walked into the office with a cold expression and ordered his assistant, "Sort out the documents you brought before the meeting."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

The assistant sorted out the documents. Standing at this angle, he could see through the glass window the luxury cars passing by the entrance of Haichuan Building, carrying shareholders away one by one.

Fu Ziyan didn't know that an unknown assistant upstairs was watching them through the glass window. She tilted her head and said in a light tone: "Where are you going later, Dad?"

Fu Qiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'll take you to the company for dinner first."

The board meeting lasted four hours. Although Xisen's secretary arranged for lunch to be delivered during the half-hour break, Titti was always picky and willful when it came to food. The lunch the secretary brought was not to her taste. She only touched it when she took the first bite and didn't touch it again. She only asked the assistant to bring her a McDonald's hamburger, which she only ate half of. When asked, she felt a little sick of it.

Fu Qiyuan was somewhat frustrated by his daughter's pickiness, but children develop their own preferences and habits as they grow. Titi was already excellent enough, and no one was perfect, so trying to cultivate or even pretend to be perfect was exhausting. Fu Qiyuan was frustrated, but he had no intention of asking his daughter to correct him. After all, wherever Titi went, she was always accompanied by a team of assistants and support staff, so she wouldn't be left wanting.

Wha…what?

She also planned to ask her assistant to go to the street to buy some octopus balls!

Fu Ziyan blinked and said in a sweet tone, "Why do you want to go to the company for dinner?"

Fu Qiyuan teased Ti Ti with a smile, "I'm afraid my daughter will be photographed by reporters. Tomorrow's morning paper will have an article saying 'The Fu family's daughter is so down-to-earth, she had a great meal on the street after the board meeting'."

Fu Ziyan: ...

As expected of her father, he could predict her actions in advance.
