My Sexy Female CEO

Chapter 197: An Gang's Counterattack



"Um..." Lin Yifan was speechless for a moment, wondering if being handsome was also a crime?

The next day, Lin Yifan went to work as usual.

Seeing that Lin Yifan hadn't followed her orders from the day before, An Qi was unhappy; she then suddenly smeared some lipstick on his face.

"Miss An! Is this symptomatic treatment of yours helpful? The problem isn't with my face, it's in your assistant's heart," Lin Yifan said, clearly annoyed and not understanding An Qi's actions.

"Hmph! I don't care, I want to do this!" An Qi said petulantly, and then commanded, "Drive!"

From start to finish, she didn't give Lin Yifan a chance to argue.

Out of respect for the kindness he had been shown, Lin Yifan endured it and then drove off.

At ten in the morning, an explosive news story broke at Antian Group.

Today, a company called Lingdong Company had unveiled a new smartphone—the Lingdong 1S.

The biggest selling point of this phone was its waterproof function, a technology recently developed by Antian Group's research team.

Now, that technology was being used in their next-generation phone, the Sky Shine S7; the bad news was, the Sky Shine S7 was currently in production; by the time it was launched, it was estimated that the market would have already been cornered.

"Jiajia! Help me check the background of this company and who its legal representative is," An Qi instructed.

Now, she was very anxious, extremely anxious.

"Okay!" After saying that, Zhou Jiajia immediately went online to check; she quickly found the results.

"An Qi, this company is a subsidiary of the Riyue Group, and its legal representative is..." Zhou Jiajia hesitated, pausing because the news would be hard for An Qi to take.

"Who is it?" An Qi asked, impatient to know.

"It's your uncle!" Zhou Jiajia answered.

"I knew it was him!" An Qi said bitterly.

The only one capable of stealthily stealing their company's research results was An Gang; no one else.

"An Qi, should we call the police immediately and accuse them of stealing our research results?" Zhou Jiajia asked.

"Yes! We mustn't let them sell it so easily," An Qi responded.

"Okay! I'm calling the police now," said Zhou Jiajia, picking up the phone to make the report.

Meanwhile, An Qi instructed the PR department to contact the press and organize a press conference.

Now they needed to expose the situation, create public opinion, and curb the marketing of the Lingdong 1S.

With that, various departments at Antian Group started to become busy.

At noon, the press conference was held successfully. Following the release of the reports, the sales of the Lingdong 1S plummeted, as many people were wary of buying this thief's phone.

While one action was taken here, a counteraction started there; Lingdong Company also held a press conference, presenting evidence to clarify that their smartphone's waterproof technology hadn't stolen from any company, and they even threatened to countersue Antian Group for stealing their research.

With the evidence presented, the sales of the Lingdong 1S began to increase again.

But calling the police was of no use; you could provide evidence on this side, and they could do the same on their side; so the police simply backed off, suggesting they settle it in court.

Faced with this situation, Antian Group also had to deal with Lingdong Company through litigation.

Although going to court was a lengthy battle, it could still cause some trouble for Lingdong Company; and if they won, they could receive a decent amount of compensation; so there were benefits after all.

Subsequently, a lawsuit petition was filed with the court.

In the afternoon, An Qi urgently convened a board meeting to discuss halting the production of the Sky Shine S7 phone.

It would still take some time to produce the first batch of the Sky Shine S7, but by the time it was produced, the Lingdong 1S phone had already captured the market of all consumers needing waterproof phones; thus, halting production now would minimize losses.

However, at the board meeting, not a single director voted in favor, as if they all just wanted to run the company into the ground.

"Are you trying to rebel or what? If we don't stop the Sky Shine S7, and it doesn't sell, we'll lose a fortune," An Qi said angrily.

"Miss An, don't worry unnecessarily, trust us, our new phone will definitely be a big hit," the directors said emphatically, appearing very optimistic.

"You..." An Qi was furious, not expecting these people who had once fought for the company to say such things.

"Miss An! Don't waste words with them; they just want to ruin the company; so let them happily get out," Lin Yifan suggested from behind her.

He had long seen what this bunch of lackeys intended; now with new patronage and places to go, they obviously weren't afraid of offending An Qi.

An Qi thought he made sense; these people's hearts were no longer with the company, so there was no use in keeping them around; better to drive them away.

So she said, "Since you all are so keen to leave, let's proceed with the share transaction now."

"Well, Miss An, you're reasonable; thank you for your effort," instead of feeling down, these directors seemed somewhat pleased because they would still receive some money before leaving the company.

In the afternoon, after settling all the directors' shares into cash, An Qi conducted the share transaction with them.

Money exchanged hands, the deal was done, and they each went their separate ways.

Watching this group of smug lackeys, An Qi really wanted to go over and slap each one of them. In their youth, they had been like brothers with her father, building the company together; now, for the sake of profit, they deviated from their path, betraying the company—an act both despicable and detestable.

Now, among all the directors, only Zhou Jiajia's father hadn't sold his shares; this showed that he was still a person with conscience.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than the phone rang; as a selfish person, how could he pass up this divide?

After hanging up the call, An Qi felt a sense of loss, distressed that even Jiajia's father had betrayed the company; this made her rather embarrassed; after all, she and Zhou Jiajia were good sisters and close friends; moreover, their families were neighbors, making future encounters potentially quite awkward.

"What's wrong? An Qi?" Seeing An Qi's desolate appearance, Zhou Jiajia became worried.

"It's nothing, Jiajia. When you go back later, give this two hundred million check to your father," An Qi replied with a somber face.

"You mean my dad also divested?" Zhou Jiajia was shocked, not expecting her father to be such a treacherous person.

"What's there to be surprised about, with your dad's selfish nature it was expected to happen someday," Lin Yifan scoffed.

"An Qi, I'm sorry, I didn't know my dad would do this; just wait, I'll call him now and try to persuade him to change his mind," Zhou Jiajia said, reaching for her phone to make the call.

However, just then, she was stopped by An Qi.
