Sometimes even answering the phone feels sneaky. I tried to communicate with her, but she always downplayed it, saying it was nothing. I felt worried but powerless.
Su Wan sat in the studio, her brush dancing across the canvas. Her eyes were filled with confusion. Chen Feng called again, urging her to make a decision quickly. Su Wan was filled with struggle. She knew Chen Feng's influence and understood the opportunities he could bring her. But she feared the cost behind it.
Her gaze fell on the artworks in the studio; they represented her dreams and her dedication. "Being with Chen Feng, I can pursue art, love, and material wealth better, but would that betray Lin Xiang? How should I choose?"
I stood at the front of the conference room, my gaze firm, my voice revealing a hint of barely noticeable fatigue. The team members were beaming with joy after the unexpected success of the recently concluded public relations event. They high-fived each other in celebration, as if all difficulties had passed.
Li Ming excitedly said, "President Lin, congratulations! This event completely turned things around; everyone is now full of confidence in our project." Although I felt a slight unease, I still smiled and responded, "We did well, but we need to remain vigilant to avoid any unforeseen issues."
I turned my head to look out at the scenery. The sky was a deep blue, and sunlight poured into every corner of the city, as if all gloom had dissipated. "Next, we need to prepare quickly and organize the project Kickoff Meeting," I said to the team members. Everyone nodded and began discussing specific plans. Each person's eyes were filled with determination.
"Mr. Lin, I will make arrangements for the relevant matters as soon as possible to ensure the project starts smoothly," Li Ming assured me. I nodded, feeling a sense of relief in my heart. Just as we were discussing the next steps, my phone rang. It was a call from Mr. Shen. I smiled to myself, thinking that this time Mr. Shen would see me in a new light.
"Hello, Mr. Shen," I said as I picked up the phone, but I was interrupted by Mr. Shen's voice. There was no trace of his usual ease; instead, there was a hint of heaviness.
"Lin Xiang, I just received a notification from the Board of Directors."
"They have just made a decision to withdraw their investment."
My face turned pale instantly, my fingers gripping the phone tightly, my voice trembling slightly. "Why would they make such a decision? Wasn't our public relations campaign successful?"
Mr. Shen sighed. "Lin Xiang, you should understand that the rumors of plagiarism have spread widely, and the Board of Directors is concerned about the impact on the company."
"But I am still fighting for it as always."
"If your project's kickoff meeting can be completed successfully, then the Board of Directors might consider continuing their investment."
"Otherwise... we may have to withdraw our investment."
A weight settled in my heart. I never expected that after just resolving the plagiarism issue, I would now face a funding shortage. But I couldn't give up; I had already invested too much and carried too many expectations.
I took a deep breath, striving to keep my voice steady. "Understood, Mr. Shen. I will provide you with a satisfactory report in the shortest time possible."
After hanging up the phone, an unprecedented pressure surged within me. The preparations for the Kickoff Meeting were urgent. I knew that this Kickoff Meeting was not only our opportunity to showcase ourselves but also our last chance to secure continued investment. I had to give it my all and lead the team through this difficult time.
I turned around and looked at the team members; their smiles gradually faded as they noticed my expression. "Lin, what's wrong?" I took a deep breath, trying to keep my voice steady. "Shen Mo just informed me that the Board of Directors has decided to withdraw their investment."
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly froze. Everyone's smiles became stiff on their faces, and a flicker of shock and panic flashed in their eyes. The hope they had just ignited seemed to be ruthlessly extinguished in an instant. "Due to the previous plagiarism controversy, the Board of Directors is concerned about its impact on the company."
"But we still have a chance. As long as we successfully hold the Kickoff Meeting, Shen Mo will continue to fight for investment."
