Double evil in the business district

Chapter 316 Power Struggle: Xiao Yuezhi Solve the Problem

In the spacious conference room, the atmosphere was like a taut string that could break at any time.

Xiao Yue sat at the head seat at the long table, his fingertips gently stroking the file bag in his hand, his eyes firmly scanning every family member present.

Their expressions varied, some looked doubtful, some scrutinizing, and some even hid a hint of resentment.

She knew very well that the next power distribution plan would be a war without gunpowder.

Xiao Yue did not retreat. She straightened her back and showed an unquestionable courage.

The air in the conference room seemed to be frozen, with only the faint sounds of breathing interweaving with each other, as if waiting for the storm to come.

She cleared her throat and said, "Everyone, regarding this power distribution plan, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Uncle Xiao interrupted her impatiently.

His sturdy body leaned forward slightly, his fat face covered with a hypocritical smile, but his eyes were flashing with greed.

"Niece, when distributing power, of course, priority should be given to capable people. I think the backbone of our family should be reused in this adjustment." As he spoke, he pointed at a middle-aged man next to him with his stubby fingers, and the man immediately showed a flattering smile.

Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone calm but unquestionable, "Uncle, do you mean to let your trusted associates take up more important positions?" She paused, her eyes sharp, "Doing so will disrupt the existing balance of the company and be detrimental to the long-term development of the Xiao Group."

Uncle Xiao's face instantly turned the color of liver. He slammed the table with a loud "bang". The sound was so loud that it seemed to shatter the entire conference room.

He roared, "What do you mean? Are you saying that my uncle Xiao, who has devoted his life to the Xiao family, is not as good as a little girl like you?" His voice was deafening and a little hysterical. He was obviously angered by Xiao Yue's words.

Xiao Yue sneered. She had long expected Uncle Xiao to react like this. She gently opened the file bag in her hand, pulled out a thick stack of documents from it, and placed them on the table with a slight "click" sound.

"Uncle, please take a look at the performance reports of each department of the Xiao Group, and then decide whether what you said is appropriate." Xiao Yue's voice was soft, but it carried a hint of power that could not be refuted.

Uncle Xiao was speechless after hearing what Xiao Yue said. The veins on his forehead bulged and his breathing became rapid. He was obviously furious.

He glared at Xiao Yue fiercely and couldn't say a word.

"Hmph." A scornful snort came from a corner not far away, with a hint of amusement and disdain.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Cousin Xiao with a sneer on her face and a provocative glint in her eyes.

She slowly stood up, looked around, and said in a tone of feigned sympathy: "Sister, you have worked so hard. It is not easy to bear such a heavy burden on you alone." Her voice echoed in the conference room, as if every word was hurting Xiao Yue's heart.

Xiao Yue frowned slightly, but she was not shaken by her cousin Xiao's words.

She knew that Cousin Xiao had always been trying to win over family members to gain more power for herself.

Under the instigation of Cousin Xiao, some family members began to whisper and cast questioning glances from time to time.

Xiao Yue felt waves of pressure coming like a tide, but her heart was extremely firm.

"Everyone, I know everyone has their own ideas." Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "But the future of the Xiao Group cannot rely on just one person or one group of people. We need a fair and transparent power distribution plan to ensure the healthy development of the company." As soon as she finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. Everyone held their breath, waiting for her next words.

Xiao Yue slowly opened the file bag in his hand, took out a document and handed it to Consultant Lin.

"Consultant Lin, this is the preliminary power distribution framework that my team and I have developed. Please take a look." Her voice was firm and powerful, full of confidence.

Consultant Lin took the document, flipped through a few pages carefully, and nodded slightly.

Xiao Yue continued, "According to this plan, everyone can obtain corresponding power and responsibilities based on their contributions and abilities. This is not only for fairness, but also for the long-term development of the Xiao Group." Her words were like the warm spring sun, gradually dispelling the haze in the conference room.

The family members who were originally wavering began to re-examine Xiao Yue's plan, and some people's eyes gradually became serious.

Xiao Yue saw hope

"Sister Yue, this plan is indeed very comprehensive, but the situation within the family is complex and changeable. Can you really guarantee that everyone will be satisfied?" Shareholder Li asked tentatively, with some uncertainty in his tone.

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "I will do my best to ensure that everyone can find their place in the new power structure." Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

At this moment, Shen Ting quietly approached Xiao Yue during the meeting, gently held her hand, and gave her silent encouragement.

Xiao Yue felt the warm power, and a warm current surged in her heart, which further strengthened her determination to move forward.

A warmth came from Shen Ting's fingertips, silently wrapping around Xiao Yue's hand, like an electric current that instantly pierced her heart.

She tilted her head and looked into his deep eyes, which were like a bottomless pool of water, reflecting her resolute face and filled with silent encouragement.

A warm current surged in Xiao Yue's heart, as if all the fatigue and pressure were melted away by this power, and replaced by endless confidence and courage.

She returned a gentle smile, her eyes gleaming with gratitude, then turned back and continued to struggle with the vortex of power before her.

However, this subtle interaction did not escape Cousin Xiao's eyes.

The jealousy in her eyes was like an invisible dagger, stabbing Xiao Yue fiercely.

Cousin Xiao bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm, and she wished she could tear the hand holding Xiao Yue into pieces.

A strong anger rose in her heart. She didn't understand why Xiao Yue could always easily get everyone's attention, and even an unattainable man like Shen Ting was so special to her.

Xiao Yue retracted her gaze, cleared her throat, and turned her eyes again to Uncle Xiao, whose face was ashen. The corners of her mouth curled up in an arc that seemed to be a smile, as sharp as a knife.

"Uncle, I understand your dedication to the family. However, ability is equally important." Her tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority. "How about this? The backbone members you recommend will first undergo an ability assessment. Those who pass will naturally be given important positions. What do you think?"

Uncle Xiao obviously didn't expect Xiao Yue to respond like this. He opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that he didn't know where to start.

To put it bluntly, his confidants are nothing but good-for-nothings. In terms of ability, they are probably not even as good as ordinary employees of the Xiao Group.

He was speechless for a moment and could only glare angrily, like an enraged beast, but could not find an outlet to vent his anger.

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone was shocked by Xiao Yue's unexpected counterattack.

They originally thought that Xiao Yue would directly reject Uncle Xiao's unreasonable request, but they did not expect that she would use this method to achieve a great result with just a little effort, which not only maintained the family's dignity but also cleverly resolved the crisis.

For a moment, there was a hint of awe in everyone's eyes when they looked at Xiao Yue.

However, Xiao Yue knew in his heart that this was only a temporary calm.

Uncle Xiao and Cousin Xiao are both ambitious people, and they will never give up easily.

What tactics will they use next?

Just as everyone was speculating, Xiao Yue picked up the documents on the table and gently flipped through them.

Her eyes were focused, as if she was studying some complicated problem.

The conference room fell silent again, leaving only the subtle sound of her fingers flipping papers and the faint breathing of everyone.

But beneath this calm, there is an even more turbulent undercurrent.

Xiao Yue stood up and walked towards the door of the conference room.

She didn't look at anyone again, but just said in a flat tone: "The meeting is adjourned."
