460: If you get scared, you'll be in trouble.

"What's all the fuss about? Don't scare Xiao Yun. All you gossips, get back to work. Have you finished today's tasks?"

"Coming, coming~"

"We're dispersing, we're dispersing~"

"I should go eat breakfast too~"

With a word from the director, the crowd instantly dispersed, returning to their posts.

Only after seeing that Lan Xinju's expression was normal did the director feel relieved.

She knew Lan Xinju wasn't very good at socializing; the entire department was basically aware of this.

And regarding Xu Lian's situation, the director, as his superior, had personally witnessed how highly Lan Xinju was regarded. At the last department dinner, although Xu Lian seemed very calm, he actively sat next to Lan Xinju, and the two chatted for a full half an hour! This was truly rare.

One must know that in all the years he had been director, besides reporting on work, opportunities for others to speak more than ten sentences with him were very rare, and almost always, Xu Lian was the only one talking.

It could be said that Lan Xinju's future prospects were simply limitless!

It would be troublesome if such a valuable talent were to be startled.

Even though his curiosity was immense, the director ultimately restrained himself, rose from his seat, and left, not asking another question.

"Oh, by the way, Director, have you seen today's headlines? I heard something big happened with New Clothes."

As soon as they sat down, colleagues habitually opened the day's news.

Regarding the company New Clothes, it would be a lie to say no one had an impression of it.

This enterprise called "New Clothes Apparel," whether in brand recognition or financial strength, ranked very high locally.

But what left a deep impression on everyone was its past act of backstabbing, which severely harmed "Ouyou Tianxia"!

The employees all felt that the company encountering problems now was purely deserved retribution.

They would, at most, just watch the incident as a joke.

"I've seen it. There are still five minutes until work starts. Those who want to eat breakfast should hurry up."

The director said indifferently, glancing at his wristwatch.

It wasn't that the company had a strict rule against eating during work, but rather that every department wanted to present its best state to everyone.

At the same time, in Xu Lian's office, Qin Feixu wore a beige suit skirt, tied with a light blue silk scarf to make it less monotonous.

On her feet were ten-centimeter high, off-white stiletto heels, and she was flipping through the latest brief on her hand as she walked.

The moment she scanned the headline content, she was so shocked she couldn't speak!

Just the day before, Xu Lian had already reminded her that she might need to start handling the New Clothes matter today.

However, not only did the stock market plummet this morning, but even the chairman directly fainted and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment!

This undoubtedly further intensified the severity of the situation!

She walked to the door, knocked, and entered.

"President Xu, this is the Americano you ordered."

After placing it down, Qin Feixu turned to the main point.

Xu Lian took the perfectly warm cup and lightly sipped the hot drink. All the materials needed for the acquisition were ready, but the biggest problem now was that no one could sign for confirmation.

Moreover, with the old stubborn man's personality, even if he regained consciousness, he probably wouldn't easily agree to transfer control of the company.

This contract would likely not be obtained anytime soon.

After expressing her concerns, Qin Feixu also stated that if Xu Lian was willing to postpone until tomorrow, she could definitely get the procedures done, but she knew he hoped the task would be completed today, so she had to come and ask for assistance with a solution.

Gently blowing on the still steaming coffee in his hand, he waited for it to reach a suitable temperature before downing it in one go, then stated his opinion.

In his eyes, how should such a situation be handled—

Just verify whether, under the current circumstances, the board of directors still obeys the sole control of this unconscious chairman?

The fact was that although he was one of the responsible persons, it didn't mean he held the most shares.

According to legal regulations, calling a shareholders' meeting and electing a chairman through voting is the official decision-making method, so this chairman only has higher authority and a say in operational decisions.

However, important matters such as company transfers and equity financing still require discussion and voting by all shareholders.

Even if the chairman personally objects, as long as more than half of the shareholders support the proposal, it is still feasible!

"I understand! You mean to bypass him and find other shareholders?"

Qin Feixu immediately grasped the key point.

Since targeting a single goal is too inefficient, it's faster to switch to a collection of multiple small goals!

This efficient way of thinking truly enlightened her!

Not to mention, their combined shares might not be much inferior to the chairman's, and a large number of shareholders had already sided with the new direction.

Just holding a temporary shareholders' meeting would likely yield the expected result.

After speaking, Qin Feixu quickly headed to the New Clothes Group's location to carry out her mission.

At the same time, Xu Lian was not idle and dialed the special line for the publicity department.

Three minutes later, the director pushed open the door and entered the room.

Every time he received a call from President Xu, it was usually about some major news to be released, and this time was no exception.

After a period of accumulating popularity, the game "Ouyou Tianxia" finally launched its first character-limited appearance skin!

Its name was "Sand of Resentment."

The director received the task code, nodded, and left the room.

Two hours later, the official Weibo of "Ouyou Tianxia" updated and released the latest notice:

【Notice: Routine maintenance is scheduled from midnight to 10 AM tomorrow. Players are advised to arrange their online time; the entrance to the ranked function will be temporarily closed one hour earlier, at 11 PM tonight.】

To avoid a repeat of Yu Waner finding a loophole in the rules to gain points, Xu Lian specifically requested to close the entrance setting early this time, so that people entering a match before midnight would not continue for more than an hour into the early morning.

Typically, each game, including waiting for ban and pick, averages about fifty minutes, with a maximum of about an hour. This arrangement ensures that no ongoing competitive match will be affected.

To be honest, Xu Lian was actually a little grateful for the inspiration this Streamer brought.

If he hadn't rewatched her live stream clips afterward, how could he have noticed that many people online were learning her clever tricks!

This bad example was personally nipped in the bud by Xu Lian.

The announcement was posted and instantly sparked a heated discussion among a vast number of netizens!

The focus was naturally on the upcoming new themed series of character appearances!

Everyone had been playing with the original styles for a long time, and it was indeed easy to get bored and tired, especially for new players with lower skill levels; they were more eager to switch to new skins and experience a different feel!

Someone spread the rumor that sometimes if your skill isn't good enough, changing skins might improve your hit rate.

They even explained that this was due to subtle errors in how the eyes perceive the skill release angle.

Furthermore, compared to other online games, League of Legends' overall pricing is actually relatively affordable, belonging to a category of price-friendly entertainment products.

You can clear the game smoothly without spending money.
