Chapter 344 The Meeting of Ten Thousand Families

Inside the ancestral home, where every household's lights were bright, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

The core members of the family gathered together. They were usually pampered and exuded an aura of control over the world, but now their faces were shrouded in gloom.

At the head of the conference table, the white-haired but sharp-eyed Mr. Wan slammed his hand on the table, breaking the suffocating silence.

"Look at this mess! How did you even do things back then! You let a problem with a processing plant go so far, ruining the family reputation and jeopardizing the business empire!"

The crowd below fell silent, and a few of the younger generation exchanged furtive glances, their eyes filled with fear and regret.

Wan Erye, who had been assigned to oversee the processing plant, stammered as he spoke.

"At first, it was just some rumors. We thought that with the Wan family's foundation, we could easily deal with it, but who knew..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was silenced by a sharp look from the old man.

"Hmph, mere rumors? Your underestimation and perfunctory attitude have led your family into this dire situation. Now, public opinion is in an uproar, most of your business partners have left, and even your subsidiaries are on the verge of collapse. What are you talking about now, the number one seat among hidden families!"

Uncle Wan, the family's strategist, adjusted his glasses and said with a worried expression.

"The most urgent task at present is to raise funds to thoroughly investigate and rectify the quality problems of the processing plant, give the public an explanation, and regain some trust."

"Furthermore, we must find a way to retain our existing partners, even if it means making concessions, to prevent them from withdrawing their investment."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but when the topic of funding came up, they all looked hesitant.

With a large portion of the family's funds consumed by public relations efforts and a sharp decline in revenue across various industries, where would they find such a huge sum of money all at once?

Master Wan suddenly stood up.

“I propose that we allocate a portion of the family’s private assets from each branch to help us through this difficult time. This concerns the rise and fall of the family, and no one should be left out.”

These words immediately caused an uproar in the meeting room. Each room erupted into a heated argument for their own interests, and the bonds of kinship proved incredibly fragile at that moment.

Amidst the heated argument, Wan Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the main wife, remained aloof and indifferent. Her delicate face showed little emotion, except for a slight furrow in her brow, which betrayed her inner displeasure.

She grew up pampered by her family, enjoying endless glory and resources, which fostered a competitive and intolerant nature.

Moreover, at this critical juncture for the family, she would never allow anyone to steal the limelight from her heroic efforts to turn the tide and become the family hero.

And that potential rival was Wan Yichen.

Although Wan Yichen is usually taciturn, he is quick-witted. During this period, he has shown extraordinary insight in several small decisions in the family business, which has already attracted the attention of some elders, making Wan Mingzhu wary.

Seeing everyone arguing heatedly without any clear conclusion, she moved gracefully, her clear voice instantly drowning out the noise.

"Stop arguing! At this rate, let alone solving the problem, we'll probably just lose all the last bit of dignity the family has left."

Upon hearing this, the crowd gradually quieted down, and all eyes turned to this usually arrogant young lady.

"What Uncle San said is very true. Investigating and rectifying the processing plant and stabilizing the partners are both indispensable."

"But as for the funds, drawing money from each person's private property is not only something that everyone is willing to do, but even if we manage to raise the money, it will only be a temporary solution. We need to find another way out."

Wan Mingzhu's gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Wan Yichen with a hint of provocation.

"Young Master Yichen has always been full of ideas. I'm sure he won't disappoint everyone on this occasion, will he?"

Everyone's attention turned to Wan Yichen, some with curiosity, some with doubt, and some with schadenfreude.
