CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 53

“As you all know, two hours and forty-two minutes ago, the Rainname Consortium United Investment Bank just announced a betting agreement.” Zheng Xiu looked at his watch and said, “Through this betting agreement, the consortium has totaled 32.52% of Phoenix Group’s shares, becoming Phoenix Group’s largest shareholder.”
This is the fact that the directors have long been aware of, Zheng Xiu looked around the circle, and then said:
“Recently, Phoenix Group has been in constant turmoil, and the stock price is even more turbulent. Although in recent days a little stable, but as we all know, that is Mr. Huo’s arm, stop a project in progress in exchange for. For all the difficulties encountered by the group, Yu Ming Consortium empathizes with the situation and has tried to lend a helping hand many times. Although we have not been able to do so, our concern for Phoenix Group has never diminished.” Zheng Xiu Dao, “The group’s development so far has resulted in many achievements, and we recognize that Mr. Huo has been instrumental in this. But three feet of ice is not cold in a day, and we believe that this time’s successive predicaments cannot be dissociated from certain inappropriate decisions made by Mr. Huo.”
He pauses and intentionally glances at Huo Jun. Huo Zhun is sitting peacefully at the top, as if he doesn’t mind that he’s evaluating him in this way.
Zheng Xiu’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he glanced toward the directors again, then said according to the established script, “The Rain Name Consortium has always been committed to helping more enterprises develop, so in response to the current situation of the Phoenix Group, we’ve put forward a series of improvement plans. Just now, my assistant should have already sent the plans to all the directors.”
Zheng Xiu raised a document in his hand and gestured to everyone. Almost immediately, a sound of pages turning resounded in the conference room.
He deliberately stopped his speech so that he could tell the directors to carefully read this plan in their hands. The directors frowned or bristled, all of which fell into his eyes, and when his gaze turned to Huo Jun, he couldn’t help but stop.
Huo Jun is also looking at the plan.
He did not look as complicated as the other directors, on the contrary, he looked very relaxed, as if reading the plan in his hands was no more difficult than reading a pillow book.
Seeing that he was openly telling his leader what to do, even attempting to subvert his control over the Phoenix Group, shouldn’t he be infuriated
Why? Why was he so calm?
Zheng Xiu clenched his teeth fiercely.
Although he had never come into positive contact with Huo Zhun, in his heart, Huo Zhun was his number one enemy.
In the business world of N, Huo Jun had always been known as the top of an insurmountable mountain, and countless young people longed for him and fantasized that they could defeat him one day. Zheng Xiu was one of them.
He was young, diligent, and talented, graduating from a top-tier school at the age of eighteen and becoming the vice president of the Yu Ming Consortium in his early twenties. People have compared him to Huo Zhun, praising him for being another legend in the business world of N country. But in his heart, what is Huo Jun?
He’s nothing more than a weakling.
With a little trickery, he won nearly 28% of Phoenix Group’s shares from an investment bank; he also fooled the board of directors of the Rainmaker Consortium, making the consortium willing to support his takeover plan for Phoenix Group; and look at him sitting here today, speaking to the directors in the tone of the president’s identity, while Huo Jun didn’t dare to raise the slightest objection from the start, so he felt a sense of pain!
So Huo Jun, go ahead and make this calm face, this is your last day as president of Phoenix Group, I wish you a good time!
Zheng Xiu raised the corners of his mouth contemptuously, and just then, Huo Jun suddenly raised his head.
God forbid, Zheng Xiu’s body jolted, and by the time he reacted, he had already twisted his head away as if nothing had happened.
Rong Sheng beside him sent an inquiry with his eyes, and Zheng Xiu smiled to indicate that he was fine, but inwardly, he deeply hated himself for his momentary hasty scruples.
He secretly clenched his fist, forcing himself to show a kind smile, got up and said: “I believe that everyone already has a preliminary understanding of the content of the plan, as industry veterans, all of you in this line of work are more experienced than me as a young man, naturally, also see the understanding that this plan is completely in the point of view of the Phoenix Group, for the future development of the group to do the plan. However, it is not easy to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. First of all, I would like to get the help of all the directors.”
“What kind of help?” A director asked.
“I hope that everyone can sell the shares in their hands to us.” Zheng Xiu slowly said.
Once these words came out, a silence instantly fell in the conference room.
After a long time, the director who had just asked came out and said, “What do you …… mean?”
“To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the Rainname Consortium must have absolute control over the group. But right now, the Rain Name Consortium cannot be considered absolutely controlling. Therefore, I hope that the directors can sell the shares in their hands to us in consideration for the sake of the group. Whether it’s a total sellout or a partial sellout, we are very welcome and will acquire them at five times the market price.” Zheng Xiu smiled.
The directors were silent once again.
Anyone could hear that this wasn’t a plan at all, this was already talking about an acquisition.
“Five times the market price?” The director sneered, “Do you know how much that is? We know that the Rain Name Consortium is rich and powerful, but I don’t believe that if the directors collectively agree to sell their shares, can you really afford to pay that much?”
“The Rain Name Consortium can’t afford it, but my humble self can still afford it.” Suddenly, Rong Sheng, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth, and when he did, it was a shock to the heavens, “If the directors really intend to sell their shares collectively, then Rong’s is really willing to help Yu Ming take over this disk.”
The tone of this sentence is too big, but everyone here knows that Rong Sheng is not joking.
If Rong Sheng dared to say it, he would definitely be able to do it.
For a while, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly awkward. The directors looked at each other in dismay and even coincidentally went to measure Huo Jun’s face. But Huo Zhun’s face is really half a wave can’t be seen, he sits there calmly, without blinking his eyes, like an old monk in meditation.
The directors’ hearts were in a state of flux.
Zheng Xiu glanced at the directors’ expressions, and knew that their minds were active. He coughed lightly and asked, ”Directors, whoever is willing to sell their shares may as well make a statement now. Before coming here, Mr. Rong has already discussed with me, time is not on my side, if the directors can give a word today, Mr. Rong is willing to cash a cash check on the spot for five times the market price.Otherwise, I’m afraid that after a long time ……”
after a long time, the shares of the Rainbow Consortium have been purchased, and I’m afraid that even if I rush, people will not buy their own shares. The directors had a number in their hearts, but no one was willing to open their mouths.
At this time, someone needs to give them a kick in the pants.Zheng Xiu made a wink towards the director sitting opposite him, and the other party understood, straightened his waist, and was about to speak–
Someone blocked his words back.
“Vice President Zheng, Mr. Rong,” Du Xing poked his head out from behind Huo Zhun, and smiled sarcastically, “You are all highly educated people, and you speak in a set way, and I, culturally, am a little bit worse. However, I’ve followed Mr. Huo for such a long time, and I’ve learned two words in the end. One of them is called “this is a big deal”, and the other is called “think long and hard”. You say such a big thing, you rush words to say at most five minutes, and then urged the directors to take a decision, is not a little bit anxious? Those who know, say you are for the sake of the group and don’t want to waste time, those who don’t know, think you are hiding some conspiracy for fear of being exposed. If I say, why don’t we take a break for a few hours and allow the directors to think about it, whether the shares should stay in their hands and develop with the group, or whether it’s better to sell them today and exchange them for some hot money, don’t you think so?”
These words gags, even with a fight, can be said to be deeply senior old rogue Huo Zhun true pass. Sure enough, the words just fell, the reaction of the directors is different.
Seeing the duck in hand was stirred up and flew, Zheng Xiu angry. However, he held his status and naturally couldn’t argue with Du Xing, so he questioned Huo Jun, ”Mr. Huo, can you control your assistant properly? What kind of occasion is this, and it’s the turn of an assistant to casually interrupt?”
“He’s not my assistant, but if my assistant was here, I’m afraid these words wouldn’t have sounded so good.” Huo Zhun sidles over and solemnly introduces Du Xing, “This is Du Xing, Mr. Du, who is both a close friend of mine and has made great achievements for the group. What he just said certainly has his own opinions, but there is one point that I am extremely in favor of. You just asked for opinions and then rushed the directors to make a decision, it’s too forceful and out of order. I suggest that we take an hour’s break, and we all go back and think carefully before making a decision.”
“Yes, yes ……”
A chorus of responding voices rang out in the conference room, and Zheng Xiu glared angrily at these obsequious old men, sneering, “The directors who want to sell their shares will eventually sell them no matter how long they think about it. Mr. Huo has been in the mall longer than I have, so he should understand one thing. People are born with a natural tendency to avoid harm, Phoenix Group is already in decline, so instead of betting on the unpredictable future, it’s better to change a fortune right now.”
“Oh really?” Huo Zhun let out a laugh, “Since Phoenix Group is already in a downward spiral, why is Mr. Zheng still willing to buy the group’s shares at a high price?”
“You!” Zheng Xiu was still going to argue, but his elbow was touched by someone not so lightly.
He turned his gaze, and Rong Sheng beside him gently shook his head at him.
“Fine, in that case, let’s suspend the meeting for an hour.” Zheng Xiu said negatively, “After an hour, I hope that the directors can all give me a clear answer.”
Returning to the president’s office, Du Xing, before he could close the door tightly and solidly, lay down on the door and laughed and jerked.
“Fooling the directors to sell their shares at the board meeting.” Du Xing was so happy that he couldn’t straighten his back, “It’s really a drama that wouldn’t dare to act like this.”
“This is really going to make people laugh when it gets out.” Huo Jun muses in a serious manner, “But we’re not familiar with him after all, forget it, let it get out.”
The two senior rogues touch eyes, and the first decision is reached.
“But Mr. Huo, it’s just as we expected, they had contact with the directors beforehand, and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. It’s just that it’s unknown whether it was Rong Sheng or Zheng Xiu who made contact with the directors.” Du Xing said.
“It’s all the same, behind Zheng Xiu stands Rong Sheng, it’s just a matter of who steps forward.” Huo Zhun said, “Which directors all looked different just now, you’ve memorized it all, right?”
“Remember firmly.” Du Xing said.
“Very well. With Rongsheng’s prudence, if we hadn’t come this far, we really wouldn’t have known which directors had been bribed by them.” Huo Zhun said, “According to what we said, you know what to do later, right?”
Du Xing nods, “Yes. But Mr. Huo, they’re fine, what are you going to do about the other directors?”
Huo Jun’s body leans back, sinking his entire self into the huge office chair. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the president’s office, there’s a whole blue, blue sky overhead. He was out of his mind at the clouds for a while before slowly exhaling a mouthful of cloudy air.
“I have an idea, I just …… don’t know if it will work.”
An hour, slow to say the least and faster to say the least. Before long, it was time to reopen the meeting. Huo Jun took the elevator and returned to conference room one for the meeting. The elevator stops in the middle before it reaches the designated floor.
The door opens and an old director walks in.
The directors’ lounge is arranged two floors below the conference room, and since the old director is old, Huo Jun specially instructed that a separate room be set aside for him as a lounge.
“Elder Li.” Huo Jun greeted respectfully and took the initiative to go over to assist the old man.
Li Lao doesn’t feel the slightest bit that it’s wrong for the president to help himself, but instead, with a black face, he is content to use Huo Jun as a crutch. The elevator went up and reached the floor in no time. The door opened, the assistant came over to help him, he waved his hand without using, but also asked Huo Jun to help himself. Huo Jun doesn’t complain, so he helps him forward.
“I thought that this hour, you would be going from director to director to talk to them and persuade them not to sell their shares.” After walking a few steps, Elder Li suddenly let out a cold snort.
Huo Jun felt that the old man was angry with himself from just now, but he couldn’t guess what exactly it was for. When he understood this moment, he really couldn’t help but cry and laugh, “It’s everyone’s right to sell or not to sell their shares, and I’m not willing to force it.”
“Hmph, do you know, maybe the guys are waiting for you to ‘force’ this?” Li Lao said, “Back then, when Mr. Xu was still alive, the group also encountered such a difficulty. People from outside wanted to buy us out, and Mr. Xu had to visit the directors one by one to convince them to support the group. How is it that what Mr. Xu was able to do in the beginning has become an imposition when it comes to you?”
Huo Jun is humbly instructed and sighs, “This is, perhaps, where I am inferior to my father-in-law.”
“You are naturally inferior to your father-in-law. But you don’t have to be so presumptuous, at least among the young people, you’re considered top notch.” Elder Li said, “Huo Jun, you’re the one we’ve watched grow up, how capable you are, we old people know it in our hearts. I’m old, but my memory isn’t bad. In the past, the Group has weathered all the storms, and this time, it’s bound to be a thrilling experience as well. I’ve fought for the Group for most of my life, and in my old age, I don’t believe I’ll watch the Group fall into the hands of outsiders.”
The old man stopped and took Huo Jun’s hand, “Huo Jun, look at my leg, when it rains on a cloudy day, it hurts like hell. When I was young, I worked for the group in the wind and rain, and in my old age, although I got sick, I never mentioned a word of regret. I have worked with Mr. Xu all my life, it’s worth it! Now, I’m giving this word to you. I hope you can save the day, so that these young people who follow you to my age can also feel worthwhile. I also believe that you have this ability!”
The old man’s words ring out, not only Huo Zhun, even Du Xing and his assistant behind him are listening to the excitement in their chests. Huo Jun’s mind gradually settles down, he holds Elder Li’s hand back and promises like a junior to an elder, “Don’t worry, Elder Li, I swear that I will live up to your expectations!”
Elder Li received a satisfactory reply and entered the conference room with a satisfied heart. The people in the conference room are basically all here, except for two vacant seats. One was Huo Jun and the other, Rong Sheng.
“Mr. Huo,” Huo Jun was at the door to tidy up his instruments, but behind him suddenly came a voice that was not very comfortable to hear, “What a coincidence.”
Huo Jun turns back and responds, “It’s a coincidence.”
“You were just chatting with Director Li?” Rong Sheng walks up to him and smiles, “Advising Director Li not to sell his shares?”
Huo Jun is noncommittal and smiles back, “Mr. Rong guess?”
“I can’t guess, and I don’t have to. Whether Director Li sells his shares or not will be known later. But I advise Mr. Huo not to waste his efforts, there is nothing in this world that money can’t do, five times the market price, not everyone is so thoughtful.” Rong Sheng sneered.
“I know, Mr. Rong has gone to great lengths for today, and naturally he’s a sure winner. It’s just that I have a question, and I still hope that Mr. Rong will answer it for me.” Huo Zhun smiles extremely politely.
“What?” Rong Sheng asked with interest.
Huo Zhun looked straight into his eyes, clearly a calm look, but Rong Sheng was partial to see a lot of contempt and disdain inside that he didn’t even bother to pronounce.
“Ye Ling he ……” Huo Zhun slowly opened his mouth, but the words are heartbreaking, “know you so hypocritical?”
“What did you say?” Rong Sheng suddenly looks condensed, subconsciously taking a step back.
“You claimed that it was for Ye Ling that you made an enemy of me, but in reality, the idea of acquiring the Phoenix Group, you started to fight it a few years earlier. Regardless of whether Ye Ling came to N or not, and whether she was with me or not, you would have been right to point the finger at me.” Huo Jun sneers, “But Mr. Rong, in the past, when you dealt with me, we called it a business war, you and I have our own winners and losers, whatever you want. But what are you pulling for? You’re pulling for Ye Ling as a front. Ye Ling to deal with me on your own, I feel that I dragged me no good life, is with me to quarrel. Although between the two mouths this is the love interest, but looking at the daughter-in-law in front of the mouth can not eat, this account, I have no choice but to count to your head.”
“What do you call Ning Ning?” Rong Sheng grits his teeth, itching to dismantle Huo Zhun.
“Daughter-in-law, the one who hasn’t gotten married, is also a daughter-in-law.” Huo Zhun flaunts in triumph, “Mr. Rong, don’t be so angry, since the words are here, I’m not afraid to tell you explicitly. Where’s Ye Ling, you absolutely can’t snatch her away, neither can the group. You advised me not to waste my efforts, this sentence, I’ll return it as it is!”
After saying that, Huo Zhun turned his head and pushed open the door of the conference room.
The meeting continued.
“An hour has passed, I believe all the directors have already considered it.” Zheng Xiu smiles and looks around the room full of directors, “In fact, in my opinion, there was nothing to consider about this matter in the first place. Five times the market price and a cash check paid on the spot, this is extremely generous wherever it is placed. However, given that the directors may be reluctant to publicize their wishes, I would suggest that we take a primitive approach to taking a stand.”
As he spoke, a small framed book was distributed one by one by Zheng Xiu’s assistant.
“Whether or not you are willing to sell your shares, and how much you are willing to sell, all directors can write it down on the book.” Zheng Xiu was very complacent with his genius idea, “This way, the directors don’t have to worry about their privacy being publicized nor do they have to worry that they will be retaliated against.”
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of “please write”, but the directors hesitated again and again, and after two to three minutes, some of them didn’t even turn over the book.
This is completely different from the expected situation, Zheng Xiu frowned slightly, subconsciously looked to Rong Sheng for help, sitting steadily on the top, has been silent Huo Zhun spoke.
“Before everyone writes, I have a few words to say.” Huo Zhun stood up, “Anyway, everyone can’t write for a while, so why don’t you listen to a few words of nonsense from me?”
The directors looked at each other and nodded their heads.
“To this day, I’ve been working at Phoenix Group for seventeen whole years. Seventeen years ago, I was still a freshman, and during winter break, I was selected by the company to be one of the five interns. At that time, I was in the company’s marketing department trainee, to the sophomore, because of the help of the company to negotiate a few lists, was qualified to turn into a trial. I remember that the person in charge of marketing at that time was Uncle Chen,” Huo Jun glanced at a director sitting at the bottom of the table and smiled, “I called you Mr. Chen at that time. You agreed to turn me into a probationary position, and you also wanted to meet me in person.I guess you don’t even remember about it, I was so nervous at the time that my tongue was tied ……”
“I remember.” Director Chen said, “I laughed at how you can’t speak well enough to work in the market, and you memorized a tongue twister for me on the spot. I thought to myself, this child …… is too flinty. But this impulse, surely can become.”
Huo Zhun not too good smile: “At that time we have been with the public relations department is not against, the two departments every day to fight countless fights. In the beginning, I was an accomplice, but later, I was the one who led the department members against the PR department. I remember once things got so big that I cried for the manager of the PR department. Mr. Tao, you are the vice president in charge of personnel, you even scolded me and told me to treat people to dinner.”
“Bah, told you to invite people to dinner to make amends and apologize, who would have thought that you’d fall in love with someone else!” The higher-ups all know that the manager of the PR department is President Xu’s precious daughter Xu Yingchen, but coincidentally, the grassroots employees Huo Jun didn’t know. Director Tao pounds his chest as soon as he mentions this past incident, and doesn’t know if he did the right thing or not.
“How else can I say that you’re the matchmaker between Yingchen and I.” Huo Jun smiles and looks at the other director. Speaking of the past, he had a lot to say, he had worked for Phoenix Group for seventeen years, this was his first and only job. He went from a poor kid, step by step, to where he is today, there were too many sorrows and too many stories. Each of these stories is intertwined and implicates the directors present, and when mentioned, they can evoke many past events that call to mind.
He followed the seats of the directors, one by one, one by one, every time he mentioned one person, one person would echo him, with a faraway gaze. No one thought what he said was nonsense, and no one even interrupted him. If someone had stopped him from continuing on at this time, perhaps it would have caused anger.
“Uncle Xu, after I take over the company ……,” the directors gradually finished speaking, leaving only Xu Shenqing sitting on Huo Jun’s right hand side. He looked at this rapidly aging old man, suddenly his throat tightened and he couldn’t say anything.
While he couldn’t go on, Xu Shenqing had a lot to say. He looks at Huo Jun and says in his voice that coughs all night long and is so hoarse that it almost sounds like it’s been sandpapered: ”Huo Jun, don’t say anything. Over the years, Uncle Xu has given you a lot of grief, but you’ve returned the favor. Uncle Xu’s son betrayed the group and almost caused huge losses to the group, but you ignored the past and hired the best lawyer at a high price to defend my son. Huo Jun, Uncle Xu has nothing to say, Uncle Xu is ashamed!”
“Uncle Xu, don’t say that, you’ve been working hard for the group for most of your life, it’s only right for me to pull Xu Bin’s leg on your merits.” Huo Jun looks at all the directors, “Not just Uncle Xu, everyone here, are all men of merit who have dedicated their lives to the group. Without all of you, it would be impossible for the Phoenix Group to be where it is today. Indeed, I’ve worked for the group for seventeen years, which sounds long. However, the time that you directors have dedicated to the Group is more than double that of mine. I have a deep affection for the Group, and I would like to do everything I can to help make it better. You all have guided me all the way here, and I believe that your feelings for the Group will never be less than mine!”
He paused, as if he was trying to push down any overly excited emotions, and took a deep breath.
“In the past, what I did was not good enough, and I have also obliged you all to bear with me a lot. If today, everyone chooses to sell their shares because of me, then I would like to resign from my position as Chairman and President.” Huo Jun firmly said, “All of you can convene another board meeting and choose trusted directors to guide the group’s development. However, I hope that you will not make a hasty decision, don’t let today’s penny drop fail your decades of youth!”
After saying this, Huo Jun deeply bowed to all the directors and sat back in his original seat.
Failure of youth, these four heavy words precisely hit the dead center of all the directors. As Huo Jun said, anyone who can become a member of the board of directors is a group patriarch. We’ve been in the same boat for decades, and our entire lives have been linked to the Group. Shares sound like a cold number, but they are the result of decades of hard work and effort by the directors.
Who can sell their youth to others? And what price can match the decades of dedication?
Zheng Xiu watched the atmosphere change in a daze, his heart has long been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He looked at Huo Zhun with hatred, and in the heat of the moment, he sneered: “Mr. Huo is really eloquent, a good move to retreat to advance, I also counted on seeing it. It’s just that Mr. Huo, if the shares under your name reside under the Yu Ming Consortium, even if you don’t take the initiative to resign, after today, you’re no longer the chairman of the board!”
Once these words came out, Rong Sheng already felt that something was wrong. However, it was too late to round up the situation.
“Bullshit!” Director Chen, who was in charge of the market back then, was known for his violent temper and immediately slapped the table and cursed, “Even if Mr. Huo resigns, it’s not your turn to be the chairman. According to the company’s regulations, the board of directors has the right to choose one person to become the executive director after a meeting and deliberation, kid, you think it’s up to whoever has the most shares!”
“Too crazy!”
“Yes, several provocations today, simply intolerable!”
“I’m not selling my shares!”
“I don’t intend to sell!”
“The book is returned to you! Hmph, I don’t care even if I offer ten times the price!”
The conference room was in a mess, and in the confusion, I don’t know who threw the book over, and it flew against Zheng Xiu’s ear on the wall. Zheng Xiu was infuriated, slamming the table and pointing at the opposite director shouted, “Director Gao, we have agreed that you will sell all the shares, I have a recording here as proof, do you want to deny it!”
“Agreed? Who did you make a deal with? The Yu Ming Foundation, or you? If it’s the Rain Name Consortium, I won’t recognize it.”
As the words came from far away, a dusty figure suddenly entered outside the door. The one who came was a tall man who looked to be around forty years old, with an upright and dignified demeanor that inexplicably inspired good feelings. This was a new face to all the directors present, but as soon as he showed up, he scared Zheng Xiu to the point of bloodlessness.
“Mr. Jin …… Jin.” Zheng Xiu muttered, falling back in his chair.
This person was none other than the Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Rain Name Consortium, Jin Yichen.
“Ah Xiu, you’ve really made a difference nowadays. I’ve only been convalescing for half a year, and you dare to take matters into your own hands and trick the board of directors into hitting the Phoenix Group.” Jin Yichen shook his head as he laughed, “If it wasn’t for me coming back early from my convalescence, I probably wouldn’t have known that you’ve been bold enough to do so.”
“Jin …… Mr. Jin, I ……” Zheng Xiu had always thought of himself as a dragon, but when he got in front of Jin Yichen, he realized that he was a worm through and through. Or the kind of worm that can only crawl under people’s feet, and struggle to survive.
However, Jin Yichen was willing to leave him to languish in the past, but now, he was not willing to do so.
“Zheng Xiu, you are terminated from the Rain Name Consortium’s contract with immediate effect due to abuse of power and bribery in office.” Jin Yichen said, “Given that you may be involved in illegally selling company secrets to others, I will submit a copy of your materials to the prosecution and ask them to look into it for me.”
“No, Mr. Jin, please ……,” Zheng Xiu’s bit of crap doesn’t even prohibit the difference, submitting to the prosecution, that ironclad is going to jail. Zheng Xiu immediately scared soft legs, can’t wait to hold Jin Yichen’s knees to beg for mercy, however, Jin Yichen brought his own bodyguards, see him a little action, directly drag the person to the door to go.
This move is a great success, the directors have given this Mr. Jin a thumbs up in their hearts, but Mr. Jin ignores the directors’ compliments and gives an apologetic smile towards Huo Jun.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Huo, I’ve been on vacation during this period of time due to my poor health, and I’ve neglected some things.” Jin Yichen exchanges a heartfelt look with Huo Zhun, “I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused your company, you’re more than welcome.”
“No harm done, how is Mr. Jin’s health today?”
“Much better.”
“That’s good.”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, but left Rong Sheng out to dry. As a matter of fact, from the moment Jin Yichen entered the room, he never looked at Rong Sheng. Rong Sheng was a great at cultivating his energy, and was at peace with it, but the people around him were not as good at cultivating their energy as he was. First, he watched a good situation being stirred up, then his ally being dragged out, and now he was so proud that he didn’t even put his own boss in his eyes. The new assistant beside Rong Sheng was eager to take credit for his work, and reminded him in a conspiratorial manner, “Mr. Jin, the Rain Name Consortium owns 32.52% of the shares, and is already the top shareholder of the Phoenix group. ”
“Really?” Being interrupted in the conversation, Jin Yichen first nods his head in apology to Huo Zhun before turning around, “How is it that the news I know is anything but that?”
It was only at this point that he glanced at Rong Sheng, and then, turned his gaze to the directors present.
“Just now, on the way over, I bumped into someone, so why don’t we, let’s ask him to come and explain it to everyone.” Jin Yichen extended a hand towards the door, “Assistant Ye, please come in.”
As soon as the word “Ye” comes out, Huo Jun’s heart is instantly seized.
From Jin Yichen’s introduction to that familiar figure appearing by the door, it seems as if centuries have passed in these few seconds. He stares blankly as the person he’s been thinking about finally walks into his line of sight, and if not for all the people around him, he really wants to rush up and hold that person tightly in his arms, never letting him go anywhere again.
Ye Ling walks in and only sees Huo Jun at first glance.
He hid his injuries from Huo Zhun, and directly telephoned him to inform him that he had gotten the equity transfer letter, telling him to try to stall for time and wait for himself to rush back. Then, he took a painkilling injection, entrusted his two children to Mo Lao, and zipped onto an airplane to rush to N country. It took them three hours to go to Country E. On the return trip, surprisingly, it took less than two hours. The moment he landed at the airport, he really wanted to pay out of his own pocket, sealing an invincible big red packet to the captain adult who was constantly catching up with the new speed of safe driving.
“This, is a power of attorney for the transfer of equity written in the handwriting of the company’s second largest shareholder, Mr. Mos Yoon.” Ye Ling walked over to the conference table and spread out a copy of the power of attorney for the crowd to view, “The power of attorney states that all the shares under Mr. Mo’s name are transferred to Huo Ming without compensation. Since Huo Ming is not yet an adult, his guardian, Mr. Huo Zhun, will take custody of the shares and return them when he reaches adulthood. There is Mr. Mo’s signature and seal here, and Huo Ming has already signed first, so as long as Mr. Huo signs his name, the transfer of the shares will officially take effect.”
He looks at Huo Zhun, signaling him to come over and sign. However, Huo Zhun is slow to move.
He noticed that Ye Ling was off.
The right hand he used to pull out the authorization was not his usual right hand, and there were visible beads of sweat condensing on his neck behind his ears.
It was winter now, he had just come in from outside, where did he get the sweat? And, what was wrong with his right hand? Why has it been frozen there, why isn’t it moving?
Ye Ling waits for half a day and sees that Huo Jun is just staring at him out of his mind, so she can’t help but remind him in a low voice, “Mr. Huo?”
Huo Zhun responds, pulling out a signing pen from his pocket and walking straight towards him. The moment the two bodies crossed paths, but he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed at Ye Ling’s wrist.
In a flash of lightning, Ye Ling jerked back a step to avoid his fingertips. However, the movement was too large, and it still inevitably involved the shoulder wound, and cold sweat gushed out with a brush.
“Ye Ling, what’s wrong with you?” Huo Jun asks in a low voice.
“I’m fine.” Ye Ling smiles, “Mr. Huo, sign it quickly.”
Huo Zhun is skeptical, but he can’t put it off for too long, so he bends down and signs his name. Breaths ring out between the directors, and everyone breathes a huge sigh of relief. Jin Yichen also comes over to join in the fun, saying that if Huo Jun wants to reclaim Phoenix Group’s stake in the Rain Name Consortium, the two families can talk at any time. Huo Jun smiles and responds with him, but his gaze is locked on Ye Ling.
Not normal, Ye Ling this reflection, too abnormal ……
Ye Ling was stared at by him furtively, taking advantage of no one to pay attention to himself, turned around to go out. Huo Zhun raises his foot to chase after him, but he sees Ye Ling walk to the door and is stopped by a person.
Rong Sheng’s complexion is obscure, looking like he’s planning to leave, but he’s still waiting at the door, intending to have another word with Ye Ling.The people’s voices were cluttered, so Huo Jun couldn’t hear what they said, and afterward Ye Ling told him that Rong Sheng asked him a question:
“Ning Ning, even you want to go against me?”
Ye Ling lifted her head and answered him word for word: “It’s you who are doing more wrong than right.”
Things had a happy ending for all, not only was the group saved from a vicious takeover, the shares that had strayed away for years also took the opportunity to return to the group. The directors were very happy, and someone struck while the iron was hot, proposing that Huo Jun retract his decision to resign, which was unanimously agreed upon.When the round of praise and unanimous agreement was over, everyone then looked for Huo Jun, and found that President Huo he–
had disappeared!
Huo Zhun went after Ye Ling.
He really can’t rest assured, and he always feels that Ye Ling is revealing something wrong everywhere.
A thousand strange and bizarre thoughts have passed through his mind, each of which can drive him crazy. He didn’t know which direction Ye Ling went after leaving the conference room, and where he should go to look for him. For the first time, Huo Zhun felt that Phoenix Mansion was abominably large.
He descended down the stairs, going floor by floor, and finally, at the end of a dimly lit corridor, he heard the sound of light and heavy footsteps.
“Yelin!” He shouted, “Ye Ling!”
The footsteps stopped, and he followed the direction that he had just judged well, spreading his steps and running over.
Ye Ling was right there.
He should be hiding from himself, but for some reason, when he heard himself calling him, he suddenly stopped hiding and stood straight there. The corridor was dim, so Huo Jun couldn’t see the expression on his face, but he guessed that he was looking at himself and must be smiling.
So Huo Jun smiled back, “Ye Ling, I’ve been looking for you for half a day.”
Ye Ling didn’t say anything and just took a few steps in Huo Zhun’s direction. His steps were a bit staggering, and after a few steps, he stopped again.
Then, he extended his hand towards Huo Jun from afar.
“Huo ……”
that figure, collapsed softly in front of Huo Jun.
