Seeing the Lee's stock falling right in front of her eyes, Lee Mumu couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly left her office, instructing her secretary to quickly arrange a meeting of the board of directors and to convene an emergency meeting of the board of directors.

"An hour ago, Lee's Group's stocks had started to drop greatly. I believe that everyone has already received the news, right?" Lee Mumu sat in the seat of the chairman as she looked down with an ashen face at the similarly ugly group of old men sitting below her.

The old guys looked at each other, but no one answered.

"If you don't say anything, then you have to agree." Lee Mumu frowned, "Can anyone explain to me why the shares of Lee's Group fell so fast in such a short period of time?"

"Little girl, the one who needs to explain it to us should be you. After all, you are the legitimate chairman." An old man sitting to the right of Lee Mumu emphasized the words' right and proper '. He stared at Lee Mumu with a displeased look on his face.

Lee Mumu's face turned green and white for a moment. Looking at the eyes below her, she felt as if she had lifted a rock and smashed it against her own foot. The reason why she was able to sit as chairman at the age of 30 was all because her father had fallen sick and was now bedridden. She had no choice but to take his place as her father in order to keep her safe.

Ever since she came to work on her first day at the company, she had always been surrounded by enemies. Everyone was especially dissatisfied with her, thinking that she was a young girl that could not take on any important responsibilities, and even the people who stood by her father's side had all turned their backs. But luckily, ever since she took office, nothing major had happened to the Lee's Group. Therefore, she, Lee Mumu, had relied on the things that she had learned from her father to barely gain a foothold in the company.

However, now that such a thing had happened, the inexperienced Lee Mumu instantly became the target of public criticism. Everyone was pointing their fingers at Lee Mumu.

Even if she was questioned until she was rendered speechless, even if she was already feeling embarrassed, Lee Mumu couldn't care less about her feelings, and had to be more concerned about the overall situation of the company.

"Alright, since no one is clear about the reason, then we might as well not look for the reason. Let's think of a countermeasure first." Lee Mumu suppressed the pent-up anger in her heart and incleverly changed the topic.

"Little girl, how can you find a solution to the problem if you don't even figure out the reason?" Lee Mumu wanted to put more emphasis on the overall situation and first think of a way to stabilize the situation. However, it was clear to her that the directors below were unwilling to give up.

"Uncle Wang, due to your age, I call you Uncle here." "You know how serious the situation is for Lee's Group right now. If we focus all our time on finding the root of the problem, then with the speed of the stocks falling, I believe that before we find the source of the problem, Lee's Group will face a large amount of losses."

The face of the director who had been addressed as Uncle Wang by Lee Mumu darkened, but he didn't speak again. He really did want to embarrass Lee Mumu, and he hoped to take this opportunity to suppress her arrogance. If he could impeach her as the chairman, it would be for the best. However, he was also clear that everything Lee Mumu said was true. If he continued to make a ruckus like this, then Lee Mumu wouldn't be the only one who would lose.

Everyone listen up, this Lee's Group is not just me, but everyone present as well. If everyone does not wish to wake up in the morning to find that a large amount of funds is missing from their asset sheets, then hurry up and think of a way to stop this major change. Lee Mumu looked at everyone's faces one by one and spoke in a serious tone.

The directors seated within conference room began to whisper amongst each other. Their expressions were all extremely ugly, and the atmosphere was heavy.

"I think we should stop selling stocks and transfer some of our money as soon as possible to fill the gap, given the current situation." A bespectacled director was the first to stand up and speak.

"From where?" Lee Mumu stared straight at the board of directors, her brow still furrowed. She knew, of course, that she had to fill the gap, but the question was, where would the additional funding come from?

"This …" The bespectacled director obviously did not consider the next question, or rather, he simply wanted to point out the problem and wait for the others to resolve it.

"How much cash can the Group Finance Department withdraw?" Director Wang suddenly asked Lee Mumu.

Lee Mumu pulled out last week's financial statements and looked at them. "Now, excluding the existing assets and liquid assets used for investment projects, there are only 500,000 yuan in cash that can be mobilized."

"How much does the funding gap require?" Director Wang asked Lee Mumu with a heavy expression.

Lee Mumu pursed her lips, "5 million."

In an instant, the entire conference room returned to silence, and the atmosphere became frighteningly somber.

"So Chairman Li, I would like to ask, where did all of our reserve funds go?" Director Wang's eyes shone with a sharp light as he stared straight at Lee Mumu.

"Previously, when the Crystal Palace was refurbished, I needed to pay a fee for the renovations and invest in the project." Lee Mumu looked at everyone and stared at herself without blinking. She could only speak the truth.

When Director Wang heard this, a glint flashed across his eyes, "Why don't we know about this matter?"

"There was an urgent need for the project at that time, not to mention the 5 million yuan was not a big number, so …" Lee Mumu's tone was obviously lacking in confidence.

"So you used the company's reserve money without even asking us?" Director Wang was overbearing.

"Director Wang, what we are discussing now is how to deal with the current situation. We will discuss this later." Lee Mumu looked at the fire burning in everyone's eyes and quickly changed the topic.

"Hmph, we'll discuss it later?" Director Wang gave a heavy snort and then stood up, "Since you secretly misappropriated the company's reserve funds, then I don't think we need to accompany you to work here together. You can bear the consequences of your actions by yourself."

With that, Director Wang flicked his sleeves and left. The other directors looked at each other for a moment, then walked out with Director Wang and the conference room s.

"What do you mean?" Seeing that everyone had completely disregarded her and left her alone in such a huge conference room, Lee Mumu could no longer hold on.
