The next evening, when Wang Wang returned to Yunhai, it was already completely dark.

The first person to see him was a cleaning worker, who looked surprised: "Boss Wang...Boss Wang?"

Wang Wang nodded slightly to the other party, as if to say hello.

However, he didn't linger for long and went straight inside, turning into a restaurant with a cloud-themed sign.

The owner of this shop is Li Ji, one of the main members of Yunhai.

The main reason I chose to come here is that I have had little contact with this guy and he doesn't own many shares, so it's unlikely to arouse hostility.

"Old Wang?"

Li Ji was calculating accounts with his head down when he heard the door open. He looked up and was initially hesitant, squinting for several seconds before asking.

"Hmm," Wang Wang responded with a soft "hmm."

"you..."

"How is Yunhai doing while I was away?" Seeing that the other person swallowed back halfway through their sentence, Wang Wang had no choice but to speak first.

"Many employees left, especially those at the front desk and in the kitchen, but some stayed, probably waiting for an explanation. All the major business has fallen through... The smaller shops are only occasionally getting a few walk-in customers." Li Ji said, "So, you're back now...?"

Li Ji wanted to say something sarcastic, but the situation was too chaotic, and he wasn't sure what Wang Wang's sudden appearance meant, so he kept quiet in the end.

"Have you received all of Hita's legal letters?" Wang Wang asked directly, skipping the previous question.

"Received... We argued about this all afternoon, each trying to shift the blame, saying it wasn't their responsibility, but neither of us could come up with a solution."

Wang Wang nodded, his face expressionless: "Things are more complicated than I imagined."

"What should we do then? Will Hitta stop accepting because of this, and what about other companies...?" Li Ji rubbed his hands together.

"Go and inform everyone." Wang Wang turned and stepped out the door, his tone brooking no argument. "I'll be waiting for you in the main building conference room in half an hour."

......

......

meeting room.

Fang Jinhai's face was ashen. He hadn't even glanced at Wang Wang since he entered the room. He sat alone on the side of the long table, lit a cigarette, and waited for the others to come in one after another.

Soon after, all the members arrived at the scene.

Apart from Zhao Zhiqiang and Li Ji, who reluctantly nodded to Wang Wang, everyone else wore varying degrees of wariness and embarrassment.

They each found a seat and sat down, and no one said a word.

The atmosphere was subtle.

The meeting room door closed, leaving only the sound of suppressed breathing inside.

In the end, Fang Jinhai spoke first: "Mr. Wang, what a rare guest."

He flicked his cigarette ash, ignored Wang Wang, and said to the air, "I heard Hita specifically asked to talk to you. What, have you been plotting something against us these past few days?"

The voice was sharp, like a knife scraping glass, but no one thought the barbed words were exaggerated.

Wang Wang ignored the other party's provocation: "Everyone has seen the correspondence. To make a long story short, the problem lies in the supplementary document that was used to obtain the original agreement. Back then, in order to expedite things, some loose ends were left in the procedures."

"Normally, we don't have to investigate, but now that Hita is doing due diligence, they've uncovered it."

His voice wasn't loud, but it drowned out all the noise.

"If I remember correctly, you were in charge of this back then, weren't you?" Fang Jinhai immediately retorted, staring at Wang Wang for the first time.

He was closest to Wang Wang, so their hostility was naturally the most acute at that moment.

"The document bears the official seal of Yunhai. If we're going to hold anyone accountable, everyone here will be implicated. Especially those who later took charge of the actual operations and used this land to expand their business..."

Wang Wang's gaze swept calmly over Fang Jinhai.

"Hmph." Fang Jinhai sneered, "Who knows if you and Xita are putting on a show, using old grievances to fool people."

Having been betrayed the first time, he is now completely unable to accept his old partner.

"Whether it's true or false, you can find out by checking the files, or ask a lawyer what the consequences are if the incomplete procedures for converting collective land to commercial use are exposed."

Wang Wang's tone remained calm, and this detached composure made Fang Jinhai's excitement seem somewhat exaggerated.

He paused, giving everyone time to process what he had to say, and then continued: "Why did Tianxin withdraw? Their legal team isn't to be underestimated; they ran away as soon as they smelled blood."

"No matter how you see me, the situation is what it is now, and the only one willing to sit down and talk is Hita."

"We must reach a consensus as soon as possible so that they have room to maneuver and minimize the impact of the situation."

"However, Hitta's new offer will be 15% lower than before."

"What...?"

These words touched a nerve with everyone, and the entire conference room was thrown into turmoil.

"You think the price reduction is too much? Then let's drag it out. If the acquisition fails because of wrangling, or the agreement is leaked, Yunhai will be completely beyond saving. At that point, we'll be prepared to spend the rest of our lives burdened with a mountain of debt, and who knows, some of us might even have to go to jail for a few years."

Wang Wang remained unmoved; ever since his negotiation with Chen Jun, it was as if a part of his emotions had been ripped away.

"Are you... threatening us?" Fang Jinhai's eyes reddened, his gaze fixed on Wang Wang's face.

"I'm just stating the facts. You can figure out the specifics yourselves. At worst, we'll all die together in the end."

This resolute tone, which seemed to say "scorched earth," actually caused some of the people present to waver.

Legally and nominally, Wang Wang is still the president of Yunhai Association. Now that problems have arisen, he is the first to bear the brunt and is actively pushing for negotiations with Xita.

Perhaps... they really want to solve the problem and pull everyone out of the mire?

"Now, let's take a vote."

Wang Wang clearly had no intention of giving anyone time to buffer or coordinate, and pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "Raise your hand if you agree with Hita's new plan. This is currently the only way for us to land safely."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

The same vote was taken last time, but Wang Wang led them by the nose, plunging them into even deeper chaos.

Now, is it happening again?

But everyone also knows that now Hita holds the key to the matter, and the Yunhai organization is in disarray.

I felt no different from the cattle being driven to the riverbank; aside from being led across the river by the nose, my only fate was to drown.

A few seconds later, Li Ji, who was sitting on the edge, shakily raised his hand.

He kept his head down, not daring to meet the gazes of Fang Jinhai and the others.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zhiqiang also hesitated, raising his hand only halfway.

The third hand came from a member who had little presence.

Wang Wang glanced around and saw that three people had raised their hands, making a total of four votes including himself.

Including Fang Jinhai, there were four people who did not raise their hands.

"Are the remaining few planning to abstain?"

His gaze swept over everyone except Fang Jinhai, attempting to exert psychological pressure.

If we can get one last vote, or if someone abstains, then the rest will fall into place.
