My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 499: Silent Vigil (3)
No one expected that the boss would call a meeting so suddenly, only to announce that the Gu Group would terminate all collaborations with the Zhou Group effective immediately, severing all ties.
Although everyone was aware that recently Gu Ningyi had dissolved his engagement with Zhou Yalin and got engaged to Miss Yuan, an engagement is one thing, and company collaboration is another.
All along, the Gu and Zhou families had enjoyed a harmonious and closely-knit cooperation, with deeply entangled interests. How could ending a business partnership be as simple as terminating an engagement?
Even if the boss had personal conflicts with Zhou Yalin, it’s not appropriate to jeopardize the company’s interests over personal disputes!
At this moment, nearly all the higher management of the company could not understand Gu Ningyi’s action and did not agree with it. Despite the boss’s stern expression, they still braved objections.
Once one person spoke up, like a butterfly effect, others gathered the courage to voice their opinions as well.
Gu Ningyi lounged lazily against the back of the swivel chair, with his long eyes elegantly crossed and a pen twirling unconsciously between his slender fingers. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
In the midst of the bustling chatter, the enormous conference room turning into a market, Gu Ningyi still listened patiently.
Since Gu Ningyi kept silent, people became even bolder, and words flowed more freely, as they spoke fervently, faces flushed from arguing.
Secretary Lin sat on the oblique side behind Gu Ningyi, her dark eyes lifting slowly as she scanned the entire conference room, finally resting her gaze cautiously on Gu Ningyi directly ahead. He sat quietly, his handsome face expressionless, neither joyful nor angry, yet a faint smile lingered on his lips, while the pen in his fingers twirled rhythmically, three times to the left, three to the right, appearing extremely gentle and harmless.
But as the chief secretary to the boss and his close aide all these years, how could she not see the turbulent waves hidden beneath the boss’s calm facade!
Though she was taken aback that the boss suddenly announced the termination of all collaborations with the Zhou Group, her mouth forming an ’O’ that couldn’t close for a full few minutes, she still couldn’t figure out what the boss was thinking.
The Gu and Zhou families had deeply intertwined interests, and once all contracts were terminated, the Gu family would face massive breach-of-contract penalties, which were not a small amount! It could also trigger a series of other related crises, which was not a simple matter!
Yet her astonishment aside, she knew that with the boss’s character, any decision he made was unquestionable and irrevocable.
Indeed, after about ten minutes, Gu Ningyi’s patience had reached its limit.
His smile slowly deepened, but his hand seized a document from before him and slapped it heavily on the conference table.
With a crisp ’slap’ sound, it reverberated throughout the conference room.
All voices came to an abrupt halt, eyes turning in unison towards Gu Ningyi.
Gu Ningyi sat there in utmost leisure, looking for all the world like a young master on an excursion, rather than a decision-making leader.
He continued to smile, parting his lips, his voice steady and indifferent, "What? Do I look like I’m in a good mood today? Is ’kind and approachable, open to suggestions’ written across my face?"
