The assistant could hardly believe what he heard.
However, he still answered Yan Xi's question.
After listening, Yan Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "Go and order them. Those partners cooperating with YC must cooperate with Fu Group, otherwise, YC Group will cancel the cooperation."
The assistant muttered inwardly, his boss's infatuation was too much.
Fu Group was such a huge conglomerate; did it really need YC Group to help them?
Before the assistant could speak, Yan Xi added, "Also, find a cooperation project that would be beneficial to Fu Group. I want to cooperate with Fu Group. Send me the project details via email once you have them ready; I'll discuss it personally."
What else could an assistant do when faced with a boss driven by love?
Although the assistant was extremely reluctant, he sent the project details to Yan Xi's email as requested.
Yan Xi briefly reviewed the project and made a decision.
Meanwhile, in the conference room of Fu Group.
Fu Wenhai eyed Fu Yan Ting and said, "Yan Ting, although you are my nephew, this is the company. You have made such a huge mistake, and all the directors are displeased with you. You must give the directors an explanation for this matter."
Fu Wenhai spoke with feigned distress, but his heart was overflowing with joy.
He had been struggling to find a suitable opportunity to oust Fu Yan Ting, and now, a perfect chance had presented itself.
How could he not be excited?
Fu Wenhai's inner excitement was palpable.
Fu Yan Ting shot a cold glance at Fu Wenhai.
Fu Wenhai then restrained himself somewhat.
However, Fu Wenhai's excitement was still visible.
Fu Yan Ting let out a cold snort and said indifferently, "You seem very excited."
"Not at all, how could I be excited when Fu Group is in trouble? Yan Ting, I am worried about you. If this current predicament is not resolved, it will be difficult to persuade the directors."
Fu Wenhai's words were not without reason, and Fu Yan Ting understood this very well.
Fu Yan Ting had not expected that Xiao Li, after being fired, would have the audacity to target Fu Group.
And the projects she exposed were all ones that Fu Yan Ting had negotiated.
Now that the projects were exposed, Fu Yan Ting was the one implicated.
However, Fu Yan Ting's affairs were not Fu Wenhai's place to question.
If Fu Wenhai truly had Fu Yan Ting's best interests at heart, he would have spoken to him long ago, not waited until now.
Thinking this, Fu Yan Ting snorted. Fu Wenhai's petty schemes were not unknown to Fu Yan Ting, even if others were oblivious.
He had remained silent, unwilling to break the unspoken understanding, but Fu Wenhai was now adding fuel to the fire, escalating the situation.
Since Fu Wenhai was being so shameless, Fu Yan Ting saw no reason to spare him any dignity.
Fu Yan Ting said calmly, "While these projects were signed by me, to my knowledge, Xiao Li was hired by you, Uncle. If anyone needs to give the directors an explanation, it should be you, not me."
Fu Wenhai had been confident of victory, but upon hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, his expression changed drastically. He stared at Fu Yan Ting and said with a cold snort, "Fu Yan Ting, what do you mean by that? You caused the company to be in this state due to your dereliction of duty, and now you're lecturing me. Are you trying to push me into the spotlight?"
Seeing Fu Wenhai's agitated state, Fu Yan Ting felt reassured.
Upon hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, the other directors began to look at Fu Wenhai, hoping for a reasonable explanation.
After all, for many years, they had profited considerably from Fu Group through Fu Yan Ting.
These directors, to some extent, still held Fu Yan Ting in awe.
Therefore, after Fu Yan Ting spoke, the directors followed his lead and began to blame Fu Wenhai.
Regardless of whether it was Fu Wenhai or Fu Yan Ting, this incident had caused them, the directors, heavy losses, and they demanded an account from both.
Since Fu Yan Ting was someone they could not afford to offend, they could only shift all the blame onto Fu Wenhai.
Fu Wenhai hadn't expected these ungrateful scoundrels.
Just moments ago, they had been in league with him.
Now, after just a few words from Fu Yan Ting, they had turned to support him.
Fu Wenhai was enraged.
However, in the face of absolute power, he could only suffer in silence, utterly unable to retort.
While Xiao Li was indeed hired by Fu Wenhai, Tang Yi had gotten her position through Fu Yan Ting's connections, and a single hand cannot clap.
This matter could not be entirely blamed on Xiao Li; Tang Yi also bore a significant responsibility.
With this thought, Fu Wenhai quickly found an angle of attack and began to use Tang Yi against Fu Yan Ting.
How could Fu Yan Ting not know Fu Wenhai's petty schemes?
Fu Yan Ting said calmly, "You are right, Tang Yi was indeed hired by me. However, she secured a major project with Mo Group on her very first day. Why wouldn't I hire such an outstanding employee? Furthermore, in this incident, Tang Yi is also a victim; Xiao Li harmed her. Now, Mr. Mo is furious about this matter and demands an explanation from Fu Group. Did I make a mistake by firing Xiao Li?"
Fu Yan Ting was indeed not wrong.
To stabilize clients, he had to take some action.
However, Fu Yan Ting had not anticipated that Xiao Li would be so brazen as to take company secrets with her after being fired.
Fu Yan Ting was certainly not foolish enough to tell his colleagues that he had already had his assistant check Xiao Li's belongings before she resigned, only to discover that the critical confidential information was nowhere to be found.
Thinking this, the corners of Fu Yan Ting's lips curved upwards.
After his statement, Fu Wenhai was truly cornered.
Although both Tang Yi and Xiao Li were involved in this matter, Tang Yi was the victim, and Xiao Li was the perpetrator.
Tang Yi was a key figure who had secured a vital project for the company, while Xiao Li was the traitor who took company secrets.
When compared, these directors naturally knew which side to favor.
Seeing that he was losing ground in the board meeting, Fu Wenhai suddenly flew into a rage.
He looked at Fu Yan Ting and said coldly, "Fu Yan Ting, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. This Tang Yi seems to have an unusual relationship with your ex-wife, Miss Yan. Considering this, the cause and effect of this matter still trace back to you."
