Wei Qing walked quickly to Dai Shiya, speaking in a hurried tone, "Shiya, something happened! In the family...they..." She paused, as if she couldn't speak.
Dai Shiya turned around, her eyes as sharp as a hawk, "Tell me slowly, what happened?" Wei Qing took a deep breath, "Family members...they seem to...let go of their guard against you."
Dai Shiya didn't say anything, just walked to the table, picked up a glass of red wine and shook it gently. The red wine swirled in the crystal glass, just like the thoughts surging in her heart at this moment.
Wei Qing's worries were within her expectations. Since she took control of the family, those relatives who had been eyeing her covetously surrendered on the surface, but secretly never stopped testing her bottom line.
Today's calm is just the calm before the storm.
Dai Shiya did not choose to directly point out this false calm, but decided to take a strong dose of medicine.
The corners of her mouth raised a cunning arc, "Qing, you go and spread the news, just say that I have found a new investment project with a very high rate of return." Wei Qing was stunned, and then understood Dai Shiya's intention.
A flash of excitement flashed in her eyes, "I'll do it right away!"
The news spread quickly within the family like wings.
The originally calm family atmosphere suddenly became agitated, and a desire called greed grew and spread in everyone's heart.
Dai Shiya's relatives rushed to Dai Shiya's office like sharks smelling blood, and everyone's face was full of flattering smiles.
"Shiya, I heard that you found a big project?" Dai Shiya's second uncle rubbed his hands and asked with a smile on his face.
Other relatives also echoed, with greed flashing in their eyes.
Dai Shiya observed their reactions calmly and sneered in her heart.
She put down the wine glass in her hand, and her tone was so calm that it was frightening, "This project does exist, but the risk is extremely high. If you are not careful, it may lead to the bankruptcy of the family."
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy office was instantly silent.
The smiles on everyone's faces froze, and Dai Shiya's husband stood silently behind her, staring at everything in front of him with deep eyes, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
He could feel that under his wife's calm tone, there was a huge energy hidden, enough to overturn everything.
"Bankruptcy?" Dai Shiya's second uncle stuttered and repeated, his face turned pale in an instant.
The other relatives also looked at each other, and the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Dai Shiya's eyes swept across the horrified faces of the crowd, and slowly said: "So, everyone, are you really ready?" She paused, her eyes fell on her second uncle, "Second uncle, what do you think?" Dai Shiya's second uncle's face turned pale, as if he had swallowed a fly.
He coughed dryly, trying to hide his embarrassment, "Shiya, what you said... is it a bit alarmist? What is the status and size of our Dai family? How can we go bankrupt easily?" Several relatives around him also nodded in agreement, with a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction in their tone.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they quickly take root and sprout.
Doubts surged towards Dai Shiya like a tide, and the temperature in the office seemed to drop several degrees.
Dai Shiya felt a chill, not only from the cold air of the air conditioner, but also from the distrustful eyes of the relatives around her.
Her palms were slightly sweaty, and anxiety spread in her heart, tightly wrapped around her heart like a vine, making her feel difficult to breathe.
She took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.
She knew that she couldn't panic at this moment, and she had to come up with more powerful evidence to regain control of the situation.
She turned on the projector and projected the prepared documents onto the screen.
The dense data and charts on it were dazzling at first glance.
"These data are the results of my risk assessment of this project." Dai Shiya pointed to the screen, her tone calm and firm, "Although the rate of return is high, the risks are also huge. If we invest blindly, we may lose everything."
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and only the projector made a slight buzzing sound.
Dai Shiya's relatives stared at the data on the screen, frowning, and their expressions became solemn.
Dai Shiya's second uncle pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, carefully examined the data, and uttered a puzzled mutter from time to time.
Although he was not very proficient in business operations, he could see the complexity and professionalism of these data.
His original contemptuous attitude gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of hesitation.
Other relatives also began to whisper, their eyes were no longer full of greed as before, but with a hint of worry and vigilance.
Dai Shiya felt their attitude change, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a sense of control returned to her heart.
"Of course, this is just a preliminary risk assessment." Dai Shiya turned off the projector and glanced at everyone, "I will report more detailed information at the next family meeting. Before that, I hope everyone can seriously consider whether to participate in this project."
Dai Shiya's voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable majesty.
She paused for a moment, her eyes fell on her second uncle, "Second uncle, do you have any questions?"
The second uncle opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing, just shook his head silently.
Dai Shiya smiled slightly, "Then, today's meeting ends here."
Just as everyone was about to leave, Dai Shiya suddenly called her second uncle who was about to leave. "Second uncle," her voice was very light, but it made her second uncle stop, "Tonight, I want to talk to you alone."
The family meeting officially began. On the projection screen, every word in the project plan seemed to be sharp and pointed directly at people's hearts.
Dai Shiya calmly explained the risks and opportunities of the project. However, before she finished speaking, Dai's third uncle snorted heavily.
"Shiya, we all understand what you said, but the business world is like a battlefield. How can there be a business that is sure to make a profit? How can you lead the Dai family to a more glorious future if you are so timid?" The third uncle's voice was full of sarcasm. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and the lenses reflected a cold light.
"That's right, Shiya, when has our Dai family ever been afraid of risks?" Dai Shiya's aunt also echoed, her fingers painted with bright red nail polish gently tapped the table, making a crisp sound, as if tapping Dai Shiya's nerves.
Doubts came one after another, and the conference room was full of gunpowder.
Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart.
She knew that these people did not really care about the future of the family, they just wanted to get a share of the project.
"Uncle San, Aunt, I know you are eager for the development of the family, but blindly taking risks will only put us in an irreversible situation." Dai Shiya's voice was still calm, but with unquestionable firmness.
"Humph, are you questioning our ability?" Uncle San slammed the table, his face flushed, and glared at Dai Shiya.
"I am not questioning your ability," Dai Shiya looked directly into Uncle San's eyes, her tone cold, "I just remind you not to be blinded by the immediate interests." She paused, her eyes swept over everyone present, "What's more, whether there are problems within us is still unknown."
This sentence exploded in the conference room like thunder.
Everyone looked at each other, and the originally chaotic atmosphere instantly became solemn.
"What do you mean?" Uncle San's voice was a little lower, and
Dai Shiya did not answer directly, but projected a document onto the screen.
It clearly shows the abnormal flow of funds within the family in recent times.
"I think you should know more about these data than I do." Dai Shiya's voice was terribly calm, but it made everyone present feel a chill. The
conference room was silent, with only the hum of the air conditioner echoing in the air.
Dai Shiya looked around at everyone, and her eyes finally fell on her uncle, "Uncle, what do you think?"
As soon as Dai Shiya finished speaking, a steady voice rang out in the conference room: "Shiya's judgment is correct, and you have also seen the data. There are indeed problems within the family. We cannot take it lightly." The person who spoke was Dai Shiya's mysterious husband.
He had been standing silently behind Dai Shiya, but at this moment he stood up and gave Dai Shiya the strongest support with his usual calm tone.
His deep eyes swept over everyone, with an unquestionable majesty, which made the family members who were originally ready to move suddenly quiet down.
Wei Qing also stood up. She walked to Dai Shiya and said firmly, "I believe in Shiya. Everything she did was for the benefit of the family. We should unite and overcome difficulties together, instead of being suspicious of each other and losing our composure." Wei Qing's eyes were clear and firm, like a warm sun in winter, illuminating Dai Shiya's heart.
Feeling the support of her husband and friends, a warm current surged into Dai Shiya's heart.
She looked at them gratefully, her eyes slightly red.
The originally tense nerves gradually relaxed, and an unprecedented power surged in her body.
The atmosphere in the conference room changed subtly.
The originally tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, replaced by an atmosphere of unity and trust.
Dai Shiya's relatives looked at each other, their original doubts and dissatisfaction gradually subsided, and they began to seriously think about Dai Shiya's words.
Dai Shiya's second uncle was the first to break the silence, "Shiya, you are right, we are too eager for quick success. The interests of the family are above everything else, we should unite and face challenges together."
Other relatives also expressed their support, and a burst of echoes rang out in the conference room.
Dai Shiya looked at the scene in front of her, her heart filled with gratitude and relief.
She knew that this crisis made her see people's hearts more clearly and made her more determined in her beliefs.
However, at this moment, Dai Shiya's mobile phone vibrated.
She opened it and saw an anonymous text message: "Your behavior has been discovered, be careful, they are going to take action."
The content of the text message was short but full of threats, like a sharp thorn, piercing Dai Shiya's heart.
Her face changed suddenly, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
She raised her head and swept her eyes over everyone in the conference room, trying to find the traitor hiding in the dark.
"What's wrong?" Dai Shiya's husband noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.
Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. She handed the phone to her husband and whispered: "...something has changed."
