After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

After the secretary left, Xiang Yu put on his coat and drove to the restaurant that Vice President Wu had booked. He knew that this meal would not be easy.

As expected, Vice President Wu expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu's reform plan right from the start. "Mr. Xiang, please forgive me for being blunt, but your plan is too radical! It has not been easy for the group to develop to where it is today. Such a drastic reform will shake the foundation!"

Xiang Yu's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm and firm, "Mr. Wu, the times are changing, and we must change with them. If we don't reform, we will fall behind and eventually be eliminated by the market."

"Reform must also be carried out step by step. If you adopt a one-size-fits-all approach like this, it will cause turmoil within the group!" Vice President Wu slammed the table, emotionally.

"I understand your concerns, but I'm fully prepared." Xiang Yu was unmoved and pushed a document in front of Vice President Wu. "This is the response measure I have formulated to deal with the risks that may arise from the reform. Please take a look."

Vice President Wu took the document and read it carefully. He had to admit that Xiang Yu's plan was not impulsive, but was well thought out.

At the board meeting a few days later, Xiang Yu formally proposed his reform plan. As expected, Vice President Wu was the first to stand up and oppose it, fiercely pointing out the shortcomings of the plan and questioning Xiang Yu's ability.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense, and the board members were talking to each other. Some supported Vice President Wu, believing that it was necessary to be cautious; others agreed with Xiang Yu's plan, believing that reform was imperative.

Xiang Yu listened to the opinions of all parties calmly. He knew it was a tough battle, but he would not back down. He looked around the conference room and finally set his eyes on Sun, the finance director who had remained silent. "Mr. Sun, what do you think?"

Finance Director Sun pushed his glasses up, a gleam of light flashed across the lenses, and he said slowly, "Mr. Xiang's plan is very bold, and he has also seen the direction of the group's future development, but as Mr. Wu said, reform needs to be gradual, and risk control also needs to be extremely cautious." He paused, looked around at the board members with different expressions in the conference room, and then said, "I suggest that we first select a part of the business for pilot reform, and then gradually promote it after achieving certain results."

Finance Director Sun's statement seemed neutral, but it was actually a hidden edge. He neither explicitly supported Xiang Yu nor stood completely on the side of Vice President Wu, but proposed a seemingly compromise plan. However, Xiang Yu knew that Finance Director Sun had worked in the group for many years and was cautious and conservative. His words were actually a disguised opposition to his reform plan.

After the meeting, Xiang Yu returned to his office with a frown on his face. He knew that Sun's attitude represented the thoughts of some people on the board of directors. They were not completely opposed to the reform, but they were worried that the reform would affect their interests or bring unpredictable risks.

"It seems that I have to find a way to win more support." Xiang Yu muttered to himself. He picked up his phone and looked through the list of board members, and the personality traits and interests of each person emerged in his mind.

In the following days, Xiang Yu began to frequently communicate privately with the board members. He visited those directors who were on the sidelines of the reform plan one by one, patiently explained to them the necessity and feasibility of the reform, and proposed solutions to their concerns.

He knew very well that if he wanted to convince these old foxes, it was not enough to rely solely on enthusiasm and ideals, he needed to come up with something more convincing.

"Mr. Wang, look, this is my profit forecast for the group's various businesses after the reform, based on the group's current situation and future market development trends..." During a meeting with an important shareholder, Xiang Yu handed a document to the other party, "I believe you will be interested in this data..."

Director Wang took the document, put on his reading glasses, and read it carefully. Behind the lenses, his eyes were sharp and deep, as if he could see through everything. Xiang Yu did not disturb him, but waited patiently. He knew that this old fox who had been in the business world for many years would not be easily persuaded.

After a long while, Director Wang put down the document, crossed his fingers, supported his chin, and said slowly: "This plan is well done, with detailed data and thorough analysis. It can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into it."

Xiang Yu was delighted to hear Mr. Wang's affirmation, but he also knew that this was just a good start and the real challenge was still ahead.

"But..." Director Wang changed the subject, "Reform is bound to affect the interests of some people and bring certain risks. Have you considered this?"

"Mr. Wang, you are right. Reform cannot be smooth sailing, but I am fully prepared to face various challenges." Xiang Yu said firmly, "Moreover, I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve the transformation and upgrading of the group."

Xiang Yu explained to Mr. Wang his detailed reform plan and risk control measures, as well as his outlook for future development, without reservation. His sincere attitude and professional analysis gradually dispelled Mr. Wang's doubts.

Finally, Mr. Wang nodded and said, "I believe in your ability and support your reform. If there is anything you need me to do, just let me know."

With the support of Mr. Wang, Xiang Yu’s confidence increased. He continued to run around among various shareholders, and gradually gained recognition from more and more people with his sincerity and professionalism.

However, Xiang Yu's reform plan also touched the interests of some people, and a conspiracy against him was brewing in secret.

"What? Reform? What does Xiang Yu want to do? Does he want to drive all of us old guys away?" In a tea room, Vice President Wu's face was gloomy, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction and worry.

Sitting opposite him was Director Liu from the group's human resources department. He had a close relationship with Vice President Wu, and the two often met privately to discuss company matters.

"Old Liu, you are well-informed. You have to help me think of a solution. We can't let Xiang Yu's plan succeed!" Vice President Wu refilled Director Liu's cup with tea in an earnest tone.

Director Liu picked up the teacup, blew gently on the floating tea leaves, and said slowly: "Boss Wu, don't worry. It's not easy for Xiang Yu to reform. I heard that he has already been rejected by the board of directors..."

"Humph, those old guys are all very smart, how could they let Xiang Yu succeed so easily." Vice President Wu sneered, "However, we can't take it lightly, we have to find a way to create some trouble for Xiang Yu."

In the following days, all kinds of negative news about the reform began to spread within the company. Some people said that the reform would cause a large number of employees to lose their jobs; some people said that the reform would put the company in crisis; and some people said that Xiang Yu wanted to use the reform as an opportunity to eliminate dissidents and consolidate his power...

For a time, people in the company were in a panic, and the employees who had originally been full of expectations for the reform began to waver.

Xiang Yu looked at the negative news that kept popping up on his phone, frowning. He knew that someone was deliberately spreading rumors to try to hinder the reform. He raised his head suddenly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "It seems that some people can't wait..." He picked up the phone and dialed the assistant's number, "Notify everyone to hold a general staff meeting at 3 pm!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting room of the Xiang Group Building was packed, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that it seemed frozen. Everyone's eyes were focused on the tall and straight man on the stage. He was their leader, Xiang Yu.

"I know that there have been some rumors about reform in the company recently, and some people have even publicly questioned my decision." Xiang Yu's voice was low but powerful, echoing in the silent conference room. "Here, I want to make it clear to everyone that reform is imperative! All decisions are made after careful consideration, with only one purpose, that is to make the Xiang Group stronger!"

He refuted the rumors one by one and elaborated on the details and expected goals of the reform plan. His voice was full of confidence and strength, but the reactions of the employees below the stage were different: some looked thoughtful, some whispered, and some still looked skeptical.

In order to appease people's hearts, Xiang Yu even promised that no employee would be laid off during the reform period, and that everyone would be rewarded accordingly based on their contribution. However, the effect was not as expected. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, it was not easy to completely eradicate them.

After the meeting, Xiang Yu rubbed his brows tiredly. He knew that this reform was much more difficult than he had imagined. This invisible war had just begun.

"Mr. Xiang, are you looking for me?" Financial Director Sun Cheng knocked gently on the office door. He is a veteran of the company, cautious, and always remains neutral in the company.

"Old Sun, please sit down." Xiang Yu pointed to the chair opposite him, his tone revealing a hint of fatigue. "I asked you to come here this time to ask you about your opinion on the current situation of the company."

Sun Cheng hesitated for a moment before he spoke slowly: "Mr. Xiang, forgive me for being blunt, but the reform has affected the interests of too many people, and the resistance is much greater than you think." He paused and lowered his voice, "I heard..."

He leaned close to Xiang Yu and whispered a shocking news: "Vice President Wu is secretly trying to win over shareholders, and seems to want to take advantage of this opportunity..."

Xiang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted. He had always known that Vice President Wu had been eyeing his position, but he never expected that the other party would resort to such despicable means.

"I understand. Thank you, Lao Sun." Xiang Yu took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

After seeing off Finance Sun, Xiang Yu stood alone in front of the French window, overlooking the entire city. The setting sun made his figure particularly slender, and also made the expression on his face more profound.

"Want to bring me down? Humph, let's see who has the better move!" He muttered to himself, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Beep...beep..." The sound of the vibrating cell phone interrupted his thoughts. It was Consultant Zheng calling.

"Hello, Consultant Zheng, how's the matter going?" Xiang Yu answered the phone, his voice low and hurried.
