In the high-level conference room of HK Group.
The conference table was filled with men in suits, but the main seat was empty.
The man sitting on the left side of the main seat leaned on the back of the chair and raised his legs. His sitting posture was extremely casual in such a formal occasion.
Although he was wearing a luxurious black suit, his short hair and sharp features exuded a strong gangster spirit. He did not look like a decent person at all, a standard villain.
Walking onto the street, people would unconsciously wonder if he would pull out a gun at any time.
The man on the right side of the main seat is much more polite. He wears a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his tall nose. He sits in a regular posture and taps his fingers lightly on the table. His face seems to be very kind.
There were still ten minutes before the meeting started. The gentle man with glasses looked at his watch and said calmly: "Mr. Xu will definitely not come today. Since everyone is here, let's start now."
The short-haired man glanced at Chen Qiming. He was playing with a metal lighter between his rough fingers. The metal cover opened and closed, making a crisp sound of "click". It made a special presence in the overly quiet conference room, and then followed. What came was his light tone: "Mr. Chen, why are you in a hurry? There are still ten minutes, aren't there?"
Chen Qiming raised his hand to adjust his glasses and chuckled: "Lao Xu has been absent for this kind of thing not once or twice, but you still expect him to come? He doesn't take the company seriously, so we can't do the same, right? "
Yuan Zhe took out a cigarette and bit it in the corner of his mouth, turning the metal lighter in a circle between his fingers.
Smoking was not allowed in the conference room, but Yuan Zhe had a cigarette in his mouth, and no one in the conference room dared to remind him.
Yuan Zhe did not light the cigarette. He turned to glance at Chen Qiming and sneered. The next second, he tilted his forehead towards the main seat, biting the cigarette butt in the corner of his mouth, and said in a sultry tone: "So? How about you take the position of director?" ?”
Chen Qiming has that intention, but he can't usurp the throne in an open and honest way. He has to get the votes of shareholders on the board of directors.
During Xu Gonghai's absence, a small number of shareholders have been persuaded by him. As long as he amplifies Xu Gonghai's indifferent attitude towards the company, then the shareholders will naturally know which side to stand on in the future.
Chen Qiming smiled gently: "I didn't mean that."
The corners of Yuan Zhe's lips were slightly raised, and his lazy smile combined with his gangster face gave off a careless and evil air: "Don't forget, if it weren't for Lao Xu, you think you can sit there like a human being..." here?"
Chen Qiming didn't look good, and Yuan Zhe's words sounded unpleasant, but they were facts and he couldn't refute them.
Because the initial funds to establish HK were provided by Xu Gonghai alone, and the reason why he and Yuan Zhe had shares was because of Xu Gonghai’s friendship and their abilities that they had lived and died together.
Without Xu Gonghai, he and Yuan Zhe might not even be able to find a decent job now.
But that is all in the past, people have to move on.
Since Xu Gonghai wanted to retreat behind the scenes so much and live an ordinary life, it would be better to give up the director's position to him as soon as possible.
Chen Qiming tapped his fingertips on the table and said calmly: "Public is public, private is private. Tens of thousands of people in the entire company depend on him for their livelihood. He must at least take some responsibility, right? He just throws away his hands and becomes the shopkeeper. What do the people below think? I have recently heard that many people within the company are saying that the chairman is going to run away. If this continues, our company may not be far from bankruptcy."
"The chairman is running away?" Yuan Zhe raised his thick eyebrows slightly and touched the cigarette butt with his tongue: "Didn't you spread this rumor to the outside world?"
All the shareholders present looked at each other.
They are all old foxes who have been in the shopping mall for many years. It is impossible to see what Chen Qiming'an is thinking. He just wants to take advantage of Xu Gonghai's absence to seek power and usurp the throne.
But most people don't dare to take sides easily. After all, Xu Gonghai's methods and Yuan Zhe's thorny side are hard to offend.
Moreover, under the leadership of Xu Gonghai since its establishment, the company has been at the top of the industry in terms of efficiency and all aspects, so they have no reason not to support Xu Gonghai to continue to be a director.
As for Chen Qiming, without Xu Gonghai, he is nothing!
I don’t know how much I weigh, and I still have to occupy the position of director. Even if the unruly Yuan Zhe can sit in this position, Chen Qiming cannot sit in it!
Most people know the truth, but no one dares to say it clearly.
Chen Qiming turned to look at the reactions of the shareholders. The expressions of "So you are this kind of person" were obvious in the eyes of the shareholders. Chen Qiming began to feel guilty. He looked at Yuan Zhe and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Don't talk nonsense! "
Yuan Zhe looked at Chen Qiming, who looked a little angry, as if he was watching a clown. He raised the corners of his lips and said, "Although Lao Xu has been absent from two meetings, Lao Xu has never left the company's affairs alone, and The latest vacancy in the account was filled by Lao Xu out of his own pocket. As for where the vacancy money went..."
Yuan Zhe paused, stared at Chen Qiming and said word by word: "Do you need me to explain it to you in detail?"
Chen Qiming was even more panicked now. Yuan Zhe's expression and tone clearly showed that he knew something.
Knowing that the vacant money was secretly misappropriated by him, he took it to the casino and gambled it all away.
Yuan Zhe knows, then...does Xu Gonghai know?
Xu Gonghai should not know, otherwise Xu Gonghai would not be able to help him make up the money out of his own pocket.
Chen Qiming was feeling lucky. He tried his best to hide the panic in his eyes. He looked down at his watch and immediately changed the subject: "There are still five minutes left. If he doesn't come, we will..." Let's get started.
As soon as Chen Qiming finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside. Xu Gonghai's assistant stood respectfully aside, and a man with a strong aura walked in from the door.
All the shareholders in the conference room who were still enjoying themselves just now stood up instantly after seeing Xu Gonghai, including Chen Qiming who was reluctant.
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
Only Yuan Zhe was still sitting lazily on his seat, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He raised his hand and touched the short hair on top of his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled generously.
Yuan Zhe is the only one in the company who is not afraid of Xu Gonghai, and Xu Gonghai is the only one in the company who can deal with this thorny Yuan Zhe.
Xu Gonghai nodded and walked towards the main seat. When passing by Yuan Zhe, he said in a lecturing tone: "No smoking in the conference room. How many times have I told you?"
Now that they have opened a company and are doing big business, they can no longer act like hooligans like before. They must follow the rules where there are rules.
Yuan Zhe took down the cigarette and smiled: "No, I didn't light it."
Xu Gonghai didn't look at Yuan Zhe anymore. He sat on the main seat and turned his eyes to Chen Qiming: "What will happen to you if I don't come again?"
Chen Qiming adjusted his glasses and smiled kindly: "I just said, there are still five minutes. If you don't come, I will ask them to wait for a while. Someone has been urging me just now..."
Shareholders: "???" Who is urging! How can you eat a melon and still get accidentally injured by it?
"Let me see who is urging him." Xu Gonghai's probing eyes swept over the people in the conference room, and everyone in the conference room all focused on Chen Qiming.
