A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The warm breeze of spring slowly melted away the winter snow. The winter had been filled with nothing but coldness for a certain individual.

The KING Group had gone through a troublesome winter. But now was the time to change all of that. However, the group's prospects were not as lively as the spring.

Right after the Spring Festival, the first thing Darren set out to do when he came back to the company was to hold a meeting, because he needed a report of the company's performance for the last quarter so that he could know where to focus his efforts. And at the same time, he had an important announcement to make. On the day of the meeting, the conference room was almost full of people. Everyone was happily conversing about their holidays.

When Darren walked into the meeting room, all the senior executives and shareholders quickly sat down on their respective chairs.

"Mr. Xu..." The lively atmosphere suddenly dissipated and the room finally settled down. No one dared to say a word. It was so quiet that if one were to breathe heavily, he would be heard in the room.

Darren raised his head when his name was called. Then, he glanced over everyone's face. The senior executives and shareholders present who had just had smiles on their faces suddenly became serious.

"Well, now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting, shall we?" Darren slowly walked to the seat at the head of the table and continued, "The last year has passed. How was the Spring Festival for everyone?"

His sudden pleasantries surprised everyone. Some of them felt like they could finally breathe again, and some even laughed, albeit nervously.

"It seems that everyone had a good time. I wish all of you a wonderful new year," Darren said without a sign of disdain on his face or tone. It was a pleasant surprise to everyone there. Suddenly, his tone changed to a serious one when he said, "But now that the Spring Festival has passed, our KING Group is facing a brutal undertaking, as if it has to go through another cold winter."

Darren's statement sent shivers down all of the senior executives and shareholders' backs. The smile on their faces gradually froze.

It was true, a lot of the shareholders and senior executives present knew that the company was facing a huge obstacle. At the thought of this, everyone's amiable mood was completely gone. Everyone sat straight and had serious expressions on their faces.
