1. "Several major shareholders are already in the conference room."
2. "Looks like it's going to be tough."
1. "Uncle chen probably had them come on purpose."
2. "They're coming in strong to catch us off guard."
3. "Luckily, you started reorganizing last month."
1. "How's our project progressing?"
2. "To reduce our reliance on uncle chen's funds, most of the project's current funding is coming from the jin family."
1. "For such a large international collaboration, it might take another half month to finalize everything."
2. "No problem. Once the project is finalized, we can show uncle chen that we..."
1. "...can stand on our own two feet."
1. "Serena, I heard that girl from the ji family had something to do with uncle chen's withdrawal. Is that true?"
1. "Uncle chen has advised you many times to stay away from willow ji, but you not only ignored him, you also kept getting involved in the ji family's affairs."
1. "Sit down"
2. "You even rushed in to save her when the ji family house caught fire a few days ago. Isn't that a bit too much?"
3. They're pressuring me with willow right off the bat.
1. Do they really think I'll abandon her because of this?
1. "Serena, you just took back the wei corporation. Your future is limitless, so you shouldn't mix with the ji family anymore."
2. "Besides, I heard that willow ji is crippled now. How could she be worthy"
1. "Be worthy of you?"
2. "I know my uncles mean well for me,"
3. "But from"
1. "According to the court's report, willow ji never did anything wrong."
2. "She helped me a lot in reclaiming the wei corporation. To me, she's absolutely reliable and trustworthy."
1. "So, I don't want anyone to judge her based on her family background."
2. "My feelings are my own private matter, and discussing them here today is..."
1. "It's not only inconvenient, it's inappropriate."
2. "Serena, we don't want to criticize your personal"
1. "Personal life either."
2. "But a project as big as a-57 can't be completed without uncle chen's financial support."
3. "As long as you're willing to distance yourself from that ji girl, uncle chen won't make things difficult for you..."
1. "No need to worry about the project funding, gentlemen."
2. "The pridvorny company from country r is interested in providing us with"
1. "Financial support. Here's the detailed plan."
2. "We started discussions with pridvorny last month, and now the collaboration is set in stone."
1. "So rest assured, the wei corporation will not be facing any issues with funding."
1. "Funding."
2. "Serena... Have you been planning to stop collaborating with uncle chen all this time?"
1. "That's right."
1. "I understand that everyone trusts uncle chen."
2. "But recently, uncle chen has been using various excuses to avoid signing a full contract with us."
1. "If he really had wei corporation's best interests at heart, why withdraw at such a critical time?"
2. "After all, wei corporation is in a crisis right now."
1. "Corporation's acquisition of the ji company nearly doubled its size."
2. "It's such a big piece of the pie for a newcomer like me, so it's hard for others not to be tempted, right?"
3. "So, what do you all think?"
1. "Are we going to continue working with uncle chen, or choose pridvorny?"
2. "I think pridvorny is worth a try."
1. "But where will the funding for project a-57 come from before the official signing?"
1. "Don't worry about that. The jin family is temporarily supporting the project, and it's progressing steadily."
2. "Hmm..."
1. "Serena, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that billions are on the line for this project. Any mistake would incur huge losses."
2. "We'll give you a month to stabilize the situation. That way, we'll have an explanation ready for ms. Qing and..."
1. "For mr. Ding and our team."
2. "Don't worry. I won't let you down."
1. It's been a while since I contacted miss bunny. I wonder how she's doing now?
1. "Miss, I heard some people outside saying that miss wei's company might be in trouble."
2. "Lawrence chen is withdrawing his investment from wei corporation because of miss wei's friendship with you. It could go bankrupt."
1. "Don't talk nonsense. You should trust miss wei. She can handle it."
2. "But wei corporation is so important to miss wei. Will she turn away from us because of it...?"
3. "Don't panic. Have an apple."
1. "Don't believe everything you hear. The corridor is so long, maybe you misheard?"
1. "Yeah... I was far away at the time, so maybe I misheard..."
2. "Given"
1. Given lawrence chen's dislike for the ji family, it's probably true.
2. Serena... What will she do?
1. "Miss wei, you're back so soon."
1. "Yeah, I came early to see willow. You can go ahead and prepare dinner first."
1. "Is the company alright?"
1. "Who did you hear that from?"
2. "There's half a million in this card."
1. "250,000 in this one."
3. "This one is a bit less, only 100,000."
1. "But this card has more, about 1 million..."
3. "This is the money I've saved from investments over the years. It's all legal money that didn't get confiscated."
1. "There should be around 2 or 3 million altogether. Take it all."
2. As long
