The receptionist had contacted the higher-ups, and their attitude towards Sicily had changed.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but Manager Xu said that we are currently full. I'm afraid that Shengshi Group won't be accepting this deal."
What a cunning man.
Li Weixi muttered in her heart that Xu Shaohua was determined not to see them.
The two of them looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. Just as they were about to give up, they heard a man's deep voice behind them.
"What do you mean by Xu Shaohua has the final say in this company?"
Hearing this, Li Weixi turned her head in surprise and greeted the man, "Uncle Bai."
Bai Shumin smiled at her and nodded his head to appease her. However, when he looked at the receptionist, his expression suddenly changed and he said coldly, "Tell Xu Shaohua that this company is a joint-stock company. The shareholders have the right to speak. For a big project like this, the board of directors has the right to kick her out."
The two receptionists looked at each other and one of them asked cautiously, "You are?"
"I'm the former manager of this company and the current shareholder. I have 20% of the shares. I don't think Xu Shaohua is stupid enough to go against me, right?"
Bai Shumin appeared to be very gentle and approachable, but the authority in his voice was unquestionable.
The two receptionists quickly contacted the higher-ups.
Li Weixi took the opportunity to walk up to Bai Shumin and whispered, "Uncle Bai, where did you get so many shares?"
Bai Shumin smiled. "I recently acquired them with the help of a good friend."
When he mentioned this good friend, his eyes flickered and he looked at Li Weixi with a meaningful gaze.
However, the girl lowered her head and was deep in thought, so she didn't notice the hidden meaning in Bai Shumin's eyes.
"Thank you, Uncle Bai." Li Weixi said sincerely, "You can obviously live a carefree life, but you still have to go through so much trouble for me."
"Haha, you little girl, what kind of relationship do you have with your father? Even if you don't say it, I won't let the company fall into the hands of such a woman. Don't think too much about it."
Li Weixi smiled and nodded obediently.
The receptionist ended the call and said to the three of them, "Our manager invites the three of you up."
"Tsk, aren't we talking about business?" Sicily said sarcastically. She ignored the receptionist's awkward expression.
Bai Shumin brought the two of them to the manager's office with great familiarity. He saw Xu Shaohua's cold face and didn't even greet him as he brought the two of them to the side to sit down.
Xu Shaohua's face flashed with malice. But now that Bai Shumin's status was different, she had to give him some face. However, her tone was still as arrogant as ever.
"Isn't this Manager Bai? I didn't expect you to be able to buy so many shares after being chased out by the board of directors. Tell me, why did you shamelessly come back? "
"It doesn't matter what I'm here for," Bai Shumin said calmly. "This lady wants to talk to you about the Shengshi Group's project. It's not very nice of you to avoid meeting her, is it?"
"Although the board of directors has some power, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing."
Xu Shaohua sat down opposite him. When she looked at Li Weixi, her eyes were full of contempt and hatred. It was as if she wanted to skin her alive.
She was going to make this little girl pay the price one day. How dare she invite Bai Shumin to deal with her?
Bai Shumin smiled and didn't answer her question.
This made Xu Shaohua very angry. She said to Sicily in a rough voice, "Where's the project? Let me see it. "
Sicily spread her hands. "I was lying."
Her undisguised attitude angered Xu Shaohua even more.
Now, not only the old man, but even the young one was looking down on her?
She couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Bai Shumin, did you hear that? As the board of directors, you brought these two people with bad intentions to me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Bai Shumin said calmly, "I'm sorry. You were the one who investigated this matter. Since you agreed that it was true, why can't I bring my people here?"
What an agreement.
Xu Shaohua gritted her teeth. If it weren't for this old man, she would have vented her anger on Li Weixi.
Of course, she knew why Li Weixi had come to look for her. At this moment, she didn't want to continue pretending. "You want to go back to the company? Stop dreaming. I've worked so hard for this. You think you can take it back with just one sentence? You're too naive. Do you think that Lin Yi will stand up for you? Is that why you dared to look for me? "
Li Weixi's expression changed slightly.
Before she came, she was prepared that Xu Shaohua wouldn't agree. However, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. This glimmer of hope came from Lin Yi. In her impression, Lin Yi would always help her whenever she was in trouble. She thought that even if she didn't say anything this time, Lin Yi would still find out and help her solve the problem.
It seemed that this wasn't the case.
She seemed to be too naive.
Li Weixi pursed her lips and said, "Of course I understand. However, since I've already said it, I still have to come and take a look. Since you don't want to, I can't do anything at this time."
"But Xu Shaohua, we still have a long way to go. In the future, no matter what method I use, I will make you suffer."
"I'm looking forward to it." Xu Shaohua looked at her with a smile. "I'll see whose side you're on when you do something like this to your stepmother."
"Then, goodbye." Li Weixi pulled Sicily to her feet and nodded at Bai Shumin before they left the office.
After they left the building, Li Weixi took a deep breath and smiled mockingly. "Sicily, don't you think that I'm too naive? I actually thought that we would succeed today. In the end, I can't do anything other than say it again."
"Don't say that. You're all alone and have nothing. This is the only way. We'll think of another way in the future." Sicily felt a little guilty. She had told Lin Yi about this before, but she didn't expect that Lin Yi wouldn't do anything.
It seemed that she had to think of another way.
Sicily comforted the girl and sent her to the car. Then, she immediately called Lin Yi.
After they reunited, this was the first time she spoke to Lin Yi with such a bad attitude. "Lin Yi, what are you trying to do? Didn't I tell you to help Li Weixi? Are you just going to watch and make her sad? "
"It has nothing to do with you."
The man's cold words made Sicily feel very helpless.
It had nothing to do with her?
