Chapter 19: The Malicious Zheng Family

  Wu Pei said: "Regarding the quality problem of this clothing, Manager Huang and Manager Ren are inescapably responsible. However, what is most important now is how to make amends, so I hope the two managers can make up for their mistakes."

  Manager Huang smiled and said, "Director Wu, before discussing the mistakes of me and Lao Ren, why don't we talk about something else first? For example, the appointment of the company's new chairman."

  As soon as Manager Huang said this, everyone's face changed, including Wu Pei. Wu Pei's face looked the worst. Since taking over as general manager, Manager Huang had always been obedient to him. How could he be like this today? A sense of unease rose in Wu Pei's heart, and he coldly asked: "Old Huang, what do you mean by this?"

  Manager Huang smiled and said: "I just think that the old chairman is now old in age, and being ill at home, the company cannot be without a leader for even one day."

  A fat man slammed his hand on the table and shouted: "Damn it, Huang Baoguo, have you taken the wrong medicine? Even if the chairman is not here, there's still General Manager Wu in charge, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

  Most people present glared at Manager Huang, their mouths also cursing: "Old Huang, you're crazy, can't you see who you're talking to?"

  "Huang Bao Gui, the chairman has always treated you kindly, what do you mean by saying this today?"

  "Huang Baogui, you're simply mentally ill today! You're just a manager, whether the company changes its chairman or not has nothing to do with you!"

  Apart from some people scolding Manager Huang, there were one or two individuals who looked away and remained silent.

  At this time, another middle-aged man in his 40s smiled and said: "Everyone listen to me say a sentence, I think Huang manager is right, the old chairman's body is not very good, it's time to find someone to take over. In theory, the successor should be Wu, but Wu is still too young, after all, she is just a girl..."

  "Son of a bitch, I'm going to your mom's!"

  Lao Xing directly rushed towards the two people, Wu Pei hastily stopped him saying: "Uncle Xing, please sit down first."

  Lao Xing listened to Wu Pei's words, and only then did he sit back down in a huff, loudly saying: "You two turtle eggs also want to rebel? You think you're worthy?"

  Wu Pei looked at Manager Huang and the middle-aged man who spoke later, with a serious expression: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Ren, since I joined the company, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. However, I have never offended you in any way, so what did your words just now mean?"

  Manager Huang chuckled and said, "It doesn't mean anything, I just think the company should change hands. President Wu, you'll get married sooner or later, even if this company has you to take over, the owner of this company will have to change eventually, am I right?"

  "Manager Ren also said: "My opinion and Manager Huang's are the same.""

  Including the several middle-level cadres with ulterior motives in the conference room who remained silent, these two people were obviously the vanguard of Wu's family rebellion. Wu Pei suddenly remembered that Chu Nan had previously reminded her to be careful about these two people, and unexpectedly, it was said to be true.

  Thinking of her father step by step promoting them and even granting them company shares, they are now kicking him when he's down. Wu Pei felt a chill in her heart and coldly said: "Alright, Huang Bao Guo, Ren Jin An, I'm sure you two are also clear that relying on your shares alone can't shake my father's position, and at any time I can make you two scram! You two aren't stupid either, surely there are other things you're relying on? Bring them out!"

  At this point, the facade has been torn apart, and Wu Pei no longer calls them uncle. Now it's either the Wu family being overthrown or these two people being completely kicked out of the company. In a normal comparison of strength, it would definitely be these two who get kicked out, but since everyone present is a discerning person, the other side must have some backing to dare to make a move at this time.

  Manager Huang smiled and said: "President Wu is indeed a clever person, you will naturally know in a while. Before that, I guarantee to everyone that anyone who agrees to replace the chairman will get even more benefits in the future. Those who agree, please raise your hands."

  There were a total of fourteen mid-to-senior executives in the conference room. Including Huang Baoguo and Ren Jinan, six people raised their hands. Wu Pei took a glance, these few people were all considered to be the company's backbone, but she felt her hands and feet turn cold, her body trembling.

  Chu Nan gently patted Wu Pei's thigh from under the table, and Wu Pei looked at Chu Nan with a puzzled expression. But as soon as she met Chu Nan's calm gaze, Wu Pei immediately regained her confidence. Her eyes swept coldly over the people present, and she said in an icy tone: "Alright, very good. Huang Baoguo, you used to be just an ordinary lower-level employee. It was my father who recognized your intelligence and promoted you despite others' objections, even when you were later promoted to manager."

  "Ren Jin'an, nine years ago your father suffered from leukemia and urgently needed money for treatment. At that time, you were struggling financially and couldn't afford the medical expenses. My dad took pity on you, not only increasing your salary but also lending you 100,000 yuan to treat your father's illness. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

  "It's true, at that time I relied on the chairman to get through the difficulties, but after working hard for so many years, being diligent and conscientious, without making any mistakes, I have already repaid his kindness."

  "Didn't you used to be a gambler? Five years ago, you got hooked on gambling and squandered all the family's money. The creditors came knocking on the door, and you couldn't take it anymore. You even embezzled 1.3 million from the company to pay off your debts. When the company found out, they decided to report you to the police and put you in jail, but my dad didn't hold a grudge against you and let you stay on as head of the finance department. He even talked to you several times to help you quit gambling and allowed you to use your salary to make up for the losses. It wasn't until last year that you finally paid off all your debts."

  Ren Jin'an frankly admitted: "This is also true, but since I have already cleared up the debt, what else can be said?"

  In fact, even Ren Jinan's thick skin began to turn red, and almost everyone in the room looked at him with disdain.

  "Wu Bing coldly smiled and said: 'Good, very good. Man proposes, God disposes. For a heartless and ruthless beast like you, I have nothing to say.'"

  Ren Jin'an's face turned red with anger, he opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't retort back.

  Wu Pei looked at the others who had raised their hands, her voice cold: "You few people, more or less, have all received help from my dad before. But today you want to kick out the Wu family, I don't have anything good to say. However, you must have that ability, our Wu family holds 35% of the company's shares, occupying an overwhelming majority advantage. What makes you think you can kick us out?"

  "What if it's because of us?" The conference room door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a man and a woman walked in front, followed by three bodyguards.

  Chu Nan's eyes changed slightly after seeing that woman, and Wu Pei beside him blurted out: "Zheng Miao Miao!"

  The woman who walked in was Zheng Miao, wearing a red tight dress and high heels that sparkled. She had an air of pride on her face, but when she saw Wu Pei, her haughtiness immediately diminished a lot, it was clear that Wu Pei still had a lot of prestige in this circle.

  Next to Zheng Miao was a tall and thin young man, wearing a pair of large-framed glasses and dressed in a black suit, looking refined and courteous. However, within the business circle of Jiangwan City, everyone knew that this young man was not easy to mess with. His real name was Li Yang, nicknamed Glasses Snake, who had helped the Zheng family swallow up several small companies over the past two years, making ruthless and cunning moves.

  Wu Pei stood up and asked sternly: "What are you doing coming in here?"

  Manager Huang stood up with a smile and said, "President Wu, in the future this company may have to take the surname Zheng."

  Wu Pei's face was full of anger, and she said: "Good, so it was you Zheng family who were secretly plotting behind our backs."

  " Glasses Snake" Li Yang smiled and said: "President Wu, don't get angry, let's talk things through. This time we came over just to discuss with you how to hand over the position of chairman. In the future, your Wu family will still be one of the major shareholders of the company, and we will still work together, so let's not ruin the harmony."

  "Fart!" Old Xing slammed his hand on the table and scolded, "You Zheng family dare to come to our company and act wildly? What shares does your Zheng family have in our company, what right do you have to interfere with the affairs of our Tianqing Group?"

  "That's right! The Zheng family should get out of here!" Another person stood up.

  "What's going on? Why are people from the Zheng family still coming over?"

  "The Zheng family is getting more and more arrogant, having swallowed up several small companies in the past two years. They don't even know where to put themselves anymore. Is our Tianqing Group also a place where you Zhengs can behave recklessly?"

  Li Yang smiled and said, "There are some things that everyone may not know. During this time, the stock price of your company has fallen, and many people have been selling their shares. Chairman Wu is very wealthy and even the lowest-level employees have a small portion of the company's shares in their hands. Our boss Zheng wanted to help you all alleviate some economic pressure, so for every share you sell, we'll buy it. Who would have thought that after buying and buying, our shares are now almost equal to Chairman Wu's, also 35%. Coincidentally, Manager Huang and a few others said they wanted to support our boss Zheng, and after calculating, it turns out that we've reached 51%!"

  Clever? What a joke! Everyone knows this is Zheng's long-planned scheme, but the result is already in sight. The Wu family can no longer hold the majority shares of Tianqing Group, and after Huang and a few others colluded with the Zhengs, the Zhengs even gained an additional 1% share. This 1% share is fatal, enough to kick Wu Changqing off the chairman's throne.

  No one had expected such a thing to happen, and they all couldn't make a sound. Even Old Xing was so angry that he couldn't speak. Wu Bei coldly stared at Zheng MiaoMiao and Li Yang, saying: "Good, good, you Zheng family are really ruthless. Huang BaoGuang, Ren JinAn, I suppose this time the company's clothing quality problem is also something you two have done?"

  Huang Baogui had a smug look on his face, Ren Jin'an didn't dare say anything.

  Li Yang smiled and said, "Don't get angry, President Wu. There's still room for compromise. As long as you agree to our boss Zheng's conditions, the Wu family will still be in charge of this company, and you'll still be the chairman."

  "What conditions?" Wu Pei asked.

  Li Yang smiled and said: "This one should be left for our family's young lady to say."

  Zheng Miaomiao didn't think she'd have a day like this, where she could step on the head of Tian's proud daughter Wu Pei, with a smug face saying: "Firstly, my brother likes you, you must marry my brother!"

  "Secondly, your Wu family will sell 10% of the shares, we will purchase them at market price, but we guarantee that your Wu family will continue to manage this company."

  "Thirdly, you must hand this person over to me, Zheng Miao Miao, for disposal!" Zheng Miao Miao pointed at Chu Nan, her eyes flashing with a light full of hatred.

  "Paralyzed, did I actually rape her or abandon her after playing with her? Is this cheap woman sick?" Chu Nan touched his nose, thinking secretly.

  After hearing the last one, almost everyone looked at Chu Nan.
