Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

There was still a hint of helplessness in Yan Lan's eyes. She had never imagined that there would be a day when Qin Shi would become her special assistant.

Just during breakfast, she learned the news of Zhao Nan's resignation. Although she was slightly startled, she quickly regained her composure.

Even if Zhao Nan was not there, the documents Zhao Nan had provided her with were enough for her to handle Qin's affairs.

But the development of the matter was beyond her expectations. Shen Yunzhong suddenly proposed that Liu Jinnian take over Zhao Nan's work. Yan Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to refuse, but saw Mrs. Qin stood up first and said in a firm tone,

"No, I don't agree with Liu Jinnian taking over. Qin Shi, you will be Yan Lan's special assistant."

Yan Lan thought Qin Shi would refuse, after all, he was always arrogant, but Qin Shi just smiled slightly, nodded lightly, and said,

"Okay."

Yan Lan looked at Madam Qin and Qin Shengsheng. Madam Qin had a satisfied smile on her face, while Qin Shengsheng's eyes were sparkling as she made a thumbs-up gesture towards Qin Shi.

Yan Lan gritted her teeth, finally nodded, and said softly, "Okay."

The couple went to the company together.

Qin Shi’s voice seemed to still be in my ears.

Yan Lan couldn't help but look back at Qin Shi. He was wearing a well-tailored dark suit, with a calm look between his brows and a slightly raised corner of his mouth. He looked at Liu Jinnian below with a playful expression.

He had been outside the meeting room for a long time and heard what the department managers said, especially their mocking remarks about Yan Lan.

He memorized them all.

Yan Lan walked into the conference room and just announced the result when the room suddenly fell silent.

The department managers looked at each other in bewilderment. No one could have imagined that Mr. Qin would come back just a few days after being kicked out of the company.

Liu Jinnian's face turned pale in an instant. He sat on the chair, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, his eyes full of shock.

He originally thought that he had the opportunity to take over Zhao Nan's job, but now he was suddenly replaced by Qin Shi. His mood was like a roller coaster, and it underwent a drastic change.

"Welcome Special Assistant Qin."

Liu Jinnian quickly regained his senses. He stood up first, a smile on his face, and walked quickly forward.

There was a bit of deliberate warmth in his smile, but his eyes flickered slightly. Qin Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself,

"This Liu Jinnian has really improved a lot."

Qin Shi also smiled and said in a relaxed tone,

"You're too polite, Special Assistant Liu. From now on, we'll both be special assistants. We need to cooperate more."

He stretched out his hand and shook Liu Jinnian's tightly.

The handshake between the two seemed normal, but only they themselves knew that when their eyes met, there was a strong smell of gunpowder between them.

The two men sat down separately. Liu Jinnian sat opposite Qin Shi, sitting upright, while Qin Shi leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, half leaning on the chair, his eyes calmly scanning the conference room.

Shen Yunzhong then cleared his throat and began the meeting formally.

"Everyone, you should already know that Qin's company has several projects to advance recently."

Shen Yunzhong's voice was low and powerful, sounding particularly serious.

He glanced at everyone present and nodded slightly.

"The most important one is the tripartite cooperation with Oriental Hospital and Institute X."

Shen Yunzhong paused and continued,

“This project is of great significance to us at Qinshi. It is not only related to the future development of the company, but also to our long-term relationship with our partners.

So, I hope everyone will give their all.”

He signaled Liu Jinnian to distribute the relevant documents.

Liu Jinnian stood up, picked up a stack of documents, and skillfully handed them to Yan Lan and each department manager.

Yan Lan took the document and began to read it attentively.

There was a hint of contemplation between her brows, as if she was thinking about every detail of the project.

Qin Shi also took the document. The conference room was silent, with only the sound of flipping documents echoing softly in the air.

"Cooperate with Blackstone Group? Why haven't I heard of this before?" Yan Lan glanced at the document and his brows suddenly frowned.

She frowned slightly, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she recalled some unpleasant experiences.

As if seeing Yan Lan's doubt, Shen Yun said in a deep voice,

“This matter was proposed by Manager Yan before he came here, so it’s not surprising that you didn’t know about it.

I think everyone has heard about Blackstone, right?

It can be considered an internationally renowned super-large enterprise."

He paused, his voice filled with pride, as if to emphasize the importance of the Blackstone Group.

“It has invested in countless companies, all of which are success stories.

The reason we were chosen by Blackstone this time was thanks to the meticulously prepared project proposal by Special Assistant Liu."

As he spoke, Shen Yunzhong glanced at Yan Lan meaningfully, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, as if to say,

"How much knowledge can a little nurse like you have?"

If it wasn't Liu Jinnian's idea, Shen Yunzhong wouldn't have thought of Blackstone Group. The contact with Blackstone has always been secret, and Zhao Nan was not aware of it.

Of course Yan Lan had heard of the Blackstone Group. In fact, the boss behind Blackstone had even "fought" with her several times, both openly and secretly.

The two are old enemies, although they have never met.

She is very clear about Blackstone Group's style of doing things - it takes unconventional approaches and puts profits first, making it a well-known giant in the international venture capital industry.

If the Qin family cooperates with it, they will most likely be swallowed up completely.

Yan Lan's face darkened. She raised her head and looked at Shen Yunzhong firmly, her tone calm and decisive:

"I disagree."

Her voice was not loud, but it echoed in the conference room and sounded particularly firm.

When the department managers heard Yan Lan's objection, they began to discuss in a low voice again.

A slight buzzing sound suddenly occurred in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Lan.

Shen Yunzhong's face darkened, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He frowned slightly and thought to himself,

"This Yan Lan is really not up to par."

Shen Yunzhong cleared his throat, his tone a little harsh.

"Manager Yan, what's your reason for disagreeing?

The group has so many projects each year, but limited investment funds. The funding requested by Research Institute X exceeds our group's budget. At this time, introducing third-party cooperation is the best solution."

He paused and continued,

"Blackstone Group's strength is evident to all. Their investment will not only solve funding problems but also bring more resources and opportunities to the project."

"Chairman Shen, we can introduce a third party, but not Blackstone."

Yan Lan's voice was calm and firm, and his eyes met Shen Yunzhong's.

“Have you heard of Blackstone Group?

Do you know how many companies it has bought low and sold high in the past decade?

How many employees have been laid off and how many businesses have closed down as a result?"

Yan Lan's words were like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the conference room.

The department managers looked at each other, whispers were heard one after another, and the conference room was noisy.

They didn't expect Yan Lan to question Blackstone Group so directly, and they didn't expect her to know so much about Blackstone Group.

Shen Yunzhong's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Yan Lan to be so tough, and he didn't expect her to directly point out the problems of Blackstone Group.

Could it be that before Zhao Nan resigned, he heard the news and gave the relevant information to Yan Lan?

He frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Manager Yan, the strength of Blackstone Group cannot be underestimated. Their investment is a rare opportunity for us.

Of course I have heard about their style, but I don't think our Qin Group should be compared with those companies on the verge of bankruptcy.

Yan Lan still refused to give in to the meeting room

"Chairman Shen, how can you be sure that the Qin Group won't be drained dry and then abandoned? Won't our Qin Group be their next prey?"

Yan Lan's words made the atmosphere in the meeting room even more tense.

The department managers all lowered their heads and did not dare to express their opinions easily.

Qin Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect Yan Lan to know so much about Blackstone Group, and he didn't expect her to oppose it so firmly.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze lingering on Yan Lan for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yan Lan, what do you mean?" Shen Yunzhong stood up suddenly, with a bit of anger in his eyes.

"Are you saying that our Qin Group will be swallowed up by the Blackstone Group? What evidence do you have?"

Yan Lan smiled slightly, with a look of certainty in her eyes.

"Chairman Shen, I don't have evidence, but I do have common sense. Blackstone Group's style of doing things has long been notorious internationally. Their investments have never been simple financial support, but rather control over the company.

Our Qin family has finally developed to where we are today. Are we going to be put in danger because of an investment?"

Yan Lan's words caused everyone in the conference room to fall silent.

Shen Yunzhong's expression was uncertain. He didn't expect Yan Lan to be so tough, and he didn't expect her to refute him so reasonably and well-founded.

Qin Shi's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that Yan Lan not only knew so much about the Blackstone Group, but could also analyze the situation so calmly.

"Then vote,"

Shen Yunzhong's attitude was also very firm.

"This project has reached a critical stage and we cannot give up easily."

There was a hint of disdain in Shen Yunzhong's eyes. Even if Yan Lan disagreed, so what? With her alone and Qin Shi, who was no different from a waste, he was sure to win this vote.
