Chapter 646: Public Perception

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Of course not,” Sun Lei said quickly. “Even if 1 had such thoughts, I’m in no position to suggest it. I meant that we have to choose someone to bear the responsibility for the current public perception. Everyone knows that this was done by Director Chen, so I’m sure you all understand what I mean.”

“So you mean…” Liu Yi asked.

“The current public perception will have some impact on our Blue Fox, but it won’t be very significant. Moreover, through the recent investment, the gap between us and Xintao is gradually decreasing. As long as we continue to invest, I can guarantee that it won’t be long before we can surpass Xintao!”

Xu Lin frowned. Sun Lei was obviously saying this to help his own express delivery. He was clearly afraid that Blue Fox would suddenly withdraw their investment and Speedy would not have any financial support in the future.

However, the investors did not share the same concerns. They had been discussing for a long time, but still could not find a solution to their problem.

Right now, the express delivery was their only hope for victory. In addition, Sun Lei had skirted around all the shortcomings of Speedy when he spoke. What he said sounded reasonable in the ears of the others. Everyone was actually a little tempted by Sun Lei’s suggestion.

Xu Lin sneered and countered, “In reality, you just want to improve your own express delivery system. With our current predicament, investing in express delivery alone is not effective. We should calm down and find out where our weaknesses are in detail before improving. We shouldn’t blindly invest in only express delivery.”

“Vice President Xu, it was your Blue Fox who took the initiative to invest in our Speedy in the past. You’re not going to leave us for dead once you’re done using it, are you?” Sun Lei said unhappily.

“Of course not,” Xu Lin explained. “We can continue to invest, but we can’t put all our resources into the delivery aspect. We should develop things in an all-rounded way…”

“My suggestion is to follow Xintao’s footsteps. If you don’t agree, are you saying you don’t want Blue Fox to improve?” Sun Lei’s expression was cold.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting sour, Le An quickly said, “What Boss Sun said makes sense. Let’s do as he says for now. What do the directors think?”

Liu Yi thought of what Liu Cheng had told him before he came. Blue Fox was being suppressed by Xintao in all aspects. If he continued to invest, it was very likely that he would lose everything in the future. Therefore, the best option was to not invest more money for the time being. He should wait and see.

“My daughter wants to start her own business. I have to allocate all my money to her recently. 1 don’t have any extra funds now. You guys can go ahead and invest.” Liu Yi declined to invest.

No one could argue against this reason, so they had to agree.

In the end, other than Liu Yi, everyone else continued to invest. Sun Lei left with a smile after getting the investments.

Only Xu Lin’s expression was cold. No matter what he said, these people would not listen. He was almost beside himself with anger. However, he could not lose his temper. He only hoped that if something bad happened later, the company would not make him the scapegoat.

After the meeting ended, Xu Lin decided to go back to work. Sun Lei came over to look for him secretly.

“Boss Sun, what’s the matter?” Xu Lin frowned when he saw Sun Lei’s mysterious behavior. He felt that Sun Lei was a little unreliable.

Especially after what he said in the meeting just now, it was obvious that Sun Lei only cared about his own interests and did not care about Blue Fox’s fate.

Sun Lei walked to Xu Lin’s side and whispered, “Vice President Xu, 1 didn’t mean to offend you in the meeting just now. The main point is that this investment is indeed a good opportunity for Speedy to turn things around.” Other than offering you an apology, 1 also want to discuss something with you. Why don’t we work together?”

Xu Lin was puzzled. “How?”

“You see, Speedy is currently imitating Xintao’s development. The results are great. As long as we persist a little longer, 1 can guarantee that we can surpass Xintao. However, the biggest problem at the moment is investment, and you’re the person in charge of this. As long as you give the word, the investors of Blue Fox will give me enough funds. When the time comes, we’ll split it privately…” Sun Lei made a gesture of counting money.

“What?!” Xu Lin was shocked to see this. “Are you planning to take money from the investment?!” he asked.

Sun Lei shrugged. “We’re not pocketing it for ourselves. We’re splitting it between the two of us. Now is the prime time for Speedy to develop. There is a multitude of projects that need money, so it’s easy to falsify the accounts.” “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose this?” Xu Lin frowned. Sun Lei was being far too bold. He actually dared to approach him to discuss something like this..
