While her mind was wandering, Fu Yancheng's phone rang. It was Qi Shen.
Fu Yancheng originally left this time to attend an emergency meeting overseas, but now he was trapped in the elevator. It was useless to say anything. He only asked Qi Shen to make preparations and hold the meeting on his behalf.
Qi Shen was his right-hand man, and this was not the first time he attended the meeting on his behalf, so he was quickly prepared.
Fu Yancheng's face was cold. Standing in this small space, he felt like he was in his own backyard, without any trace of panic.
"President, I have already spoken to Sheng Zhong. I just asked Miss Sheng not to do unnecessary things."
Fu Yancheng nodded. Thinking of the woman's promise to the old man that she wanted to have a child, he felt a little irritated.
"Has the Sheng family's project been blocked by the Ministry of Commerce?"
Sheng Mian, who was standing next to him, froze and thought he had heard wrongly.
Through the reflective elevator mirror, she saw the disgust in Fu Yancheng's eyes, and her lips tightened.
I finally guessed why my father was acting like this suddenly. It was probably because of something Fu Yancheng's assistant said, and the Sheng family's project was blocked. I was so angry that I was sent to the emergency room.
As a daughter, she will worry about Sheng Zhong.
However, the Sheng family's business has been declining in the past few years, and they really rely too much on the connections brought by the Fu family.
She had long advised Sheng Zhong not to expand at this juncture or blindly raise funds.
Once a company has close ties with banks, the more debt it will owe, and bankruptcy will only happen in an instant.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. The larger the company, the more vigilant it is to its cash flow.
Once cash flow is lost, disaster awaits the company.
The Sheng family has been running out of cash in the past few years. If the projects in hand are dealt with urgently, they will cut off the projects that need to be cut and lay off those who need to be laid off. The Sheng family will not be in such a difficult situation.
But after all, Sheng Zhong started from the bottom step by step. Facing the old employees who had followed him all the way to the present, he really couldn't bear to lay off employees.
Therefore, most of the senior management of Shengjia today are people who only get paid and do nothing. The subordinates managed by these people also have the mentality of being like monks and beating the clock. How can such a company be good?
Although what Bai Qiu said was very excessive, one thing he said was right, that is, Sheng Zhong did not have the ability to manage the company.
If there are just a few small shops, people like Sheng Zhong can really do it well.
But once the company goes public, what it needs is a more decisive approach and a more ruthless attitude. Obviously, Sheng Zhong does not possess these qualities.
He is now in a position of being unwilling to accept that what he founded will eventually fade away, so he must resolutely pursue a second round of financing.
In addition, they are dependent on the Fu family. Once the Fu family turns against others, there will be no way for the Sheng family to survive.
Now that Fu Yancheng just let the Fu family snatch away a small project, Sheng Zhong's body is already so overwhelmed. What will happen to him if something happens to the Sheng family's company?
Sheng Mian only felt anxious.
In Sheng Zhong's heart, the company is obviously the most important, and she would even sacrifice her marriage for the sake of the company.
She said nothing, and when she heard Fu Yancheng turn to business matters again, the words involving the Sheng family seemed to be just a casual mention by him.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yancheng glanced at her and found that her aura was colder than before, and she was full of alienation.
The lights in the elevator were dim, but it was enough to see the expressions on the two people's faces.
Fu Yancheng suddenly felt a little puzzled. He vaguely realized that he didn't seem to be popular with her. This realization made his chest suffocate.
His breath simply became colder, and they ignored each other.
Until there was a sound outside, it was the rescuers arriving, and Wen Sihe's voice was also mixed in.
The elevator door was opened a crack, and the light from outside instantly came through.
For some reason, the rescuer always felt that the moment the elevator opened this crack, the air-conditioning inside almost made his hands and feet numb.
It's obviously still summer, so why does it feel so cold inside?
He didn't dare to ask any more questions and continued to direct other rescuers quickly.
Standing outside with Wen Sihe was Shen Sheng.
There was an accident in the elevator, and people on their floor were naturally the first to get the news. Looking at the surveillance, they realized that it was Sheng Mian and Fu Yancheng who entered the elevator.
Shen Sheng's face looked anxious.
"Penny, are you okay? The door will open soon, don't be nervous."
Shen Sheng was not trying to gain any favor at this time. Even out of consideration as a gentleman, he should ask the female companion who was dining with him.
But when he looked at Fu Yancheng inside, a hint of complexity flashed across his eyebrows.
Even when they were standing together, the couple looked like they didn't know each other at all.
He was really confused. Since the relationship between the two was so bad, what were they like in bed?
Did Fu Yancheng also work hard on Penny with this stinky face?
