Chapter 687: Controlling the Situation

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

In the morning meeting, Mei Shu arranged for her brothers to sit at the end and listen. Several directors and department heads were already in their seats.

As soon as Gao Cheng arrived, he wore a stern expression, deliberately making a loud noise when placing his water glass on the table.

Mei Yan stood up to say something but was promptly held back by Mei Jing and Mei Feng on either side.

Gao Cheng cast a disdainful glance in their direction, then withdrew his gaze, calmly unscrewing the lid of his thermos and taking a sip of water before leisurely asking, “Little President Mei, what do you want to discuss in this meeting?”

“I want to talk to everyone in detail about the inspection of the accounts by the tax bureau yesterday,” Mei Shu, sitting at the head, said with a strong presence. The others all sat up straight, showing a posture of attentive listening.

Only Gao Cheng leaned back against the chair back, indifferent. “Getting reported can only blame oneself for being careless. Why didn’t I encounter such a thing when your father and I were struggling together back then?”

“It’s because others see you as young and incapable, so they want to take advantage of the situation to disrupt the company and gain benefits. If the company were still managed by me or your father, such a big mess wouldn’t have happened.”

“Gao Uncle, I think your words are biased,” Mei Shu said seriously, “There couldn’t be any problems with the company’s accounts. Tang Mei supervises personally before each report, so there won’t be any tax evasion. Even if others want to take advantage, they probably won’t succeed. Since we have no problems, there’s no need to worry about being disrupted by others.”

“Why can’t I get through to you!” Gao Cheng slammed the cup down in frustration.

Seeing this, the head of the finance department quickly spoke up, “I think President Mei is right. There are indeed no problems with the company’s accounts. I think the person who reported it is just trying it out, betting that there might be mistakes in our accounts. But we won’t make mistakes, so we’re not worried about the tax bureau’s inspection, nor will it have any substantial impact on us.”

“When the company really has problems, you’ll see how serious it is!” Gao Cheng grumbled irritably, then wanted to say something but couldn’t refute anything. He was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently.

Mei Yan smirked beside him, which Gao Cheng happened to see. He then vented all his anger on the children.

“Bringing elementary school students to attend high-level meetings, unheard of! Although the company is nominally owned by your Mei family, it actually can’t do without the efforts of any of us. Mei General, is it too disrespectful for you to do this?”

Mei Shu explained in a gentle tone, “Uncle Gao, please don’t get agitated. Yanyan and the others are just here to observe, they won’t express any opinions. After all, they also hold shares in the Mei Corporation, according to the agreement left by my mother. When they come of age, they will also inherit a portion of the shares. By listening now, they’ll be more familiar with the company’s leadership matters in the future.”

Her words were meant to caution Gao Cheng to be careful with his words. After all, her brothers were all part of the company’s leadership team, and offending any one of them wouldn’t be wise.

Gao Cheng was rendered speechless. He slammed the table resentfully, “Back in the day, your father and I supported each other through the toughest times in the company. I contributed both money and effort to help your father tide over the difficulties. But in the end, I’m deemed less important than these brats! Is this how the Mei family repays me?”

“My father promised you a share of the profits, and Mei Corporation has been paying you that every year without fail. You’ve never been shortchanged. As a senior executive of the company, you’ve also received the status you deserve. That’s how the Mei family repays you. Is there a problem?”

Mei Shu’s tone grew more severe, carrying a hint of imposing authority.

Gao Cheng remained speechless for a moment before finding his voice again, “But children shouldn’t be attending meetings.”

“I’ve already said they’ll only observe and won’t express any opinions or participate. If you have no other issues, we ll formally begin the meeting now.”

Mei Shu’s words reached this point, and even Gao Cheng had to temporarily soften.

Seeing that her sister had skillfully controlled the situation with just a few words, Mei Yan admired her so much that stars appeared in his eyes.

After the meeting ended, he had completely become his sister’s little fan, chatting incessantly, “Sister, did you notice Gao Cheng’s expression just now? It was so gloomy that it was about to rain! Sister, you’re really amazing. You just sent him away with a few words!”

“To deal with someone like him, who has little ability but loves to meddle, the best way is to make him lose face, but we still need to leave a way out for him. If he still doesn’t listen, we can use other means to make him submit. Understand?”

Mei Shu gently rubbed Mei Yan’s head, but her words were chilling.

Mei Feng’s mouth twitched a few times, and he pulled Mei Yan aside, then walked to Mei Shu’s side.. “Sister, is it a bit too early to tell this to Yanyan now?”
