Novel Full Chapter 227 - 227 He Who Understands the Times is a Wise Man!
227 He Who Understands the Times is a Wise Man!
The person who spoke was called Guan De. His family, the Guan family, had a hundred years of history. They were an old family in Jiangbei, but their family was not big and had always been in the middle.
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed. They thought to themselves that he was really stubborn. Wasn’t he asking for trouble by not giving Chen Yun respect in front of so many people?!
Chen Yun’s smile did not disappear. He knocked his head and chuckled. “In that case, I won’t force you to grow old. However, everyone is on the same page. I hope you can consider it. Of course, I won’t force anyone. If anyone has any opinions, feel free to say them!”
Before Chen Yun could finish speaking, Liu Ming came to Guan De’s side with an unhappy expression and said unhappily, “Elder Guan, you have to understand the situation. Everyone agreed to work together, but you’re the only one who objected. Look, whose family here is smaller than yours? It’s only a matter of time before our family rises and merges. Just as Director Chen said, this is the trend!”
“This is the only way we can earn money together.”
Guan De sneered. “Liu Ming, it’s not your place to ask about our family’s matters! Others can’t care about it, but as long as I, Guan De, am alive, I won’t give away the foundation that my ancestors built!”
Liu Ming’s expression changed. He stared at Guan De and said fiercely, “Perhaps I, Liu Ming, am not a big shot, but you have to pay attention to your words. If we fall out, it won’t be easy for everyone!”
Guan De snorted and did not say anything. He did not take Liu Ming seriously at all.
Liu Ming felt a little embarrassed. He bent down and leaned closer to him. He said in a gentle voice, “So you’ve decided on your old plan?! You’re firmly against Director Chen, right?”
Guan De said in a deep voice, “I’ve already said that even if our family doesn’t join, it doesn’t mean that I’m against it!”
“Very good! Very good!” Liu Ming looked up at Chen Yun. The latter was playing with a pen in his hand. His tightly shut mouth was slightly curled up into a crescent shape. The pen spun between Chen Yun’s fingers for a while before he stopped and held the pen tightly. He exerted strength with his thumb and broke the pen into two.
After Liu Ming saw this, he bit his lips and reached out to grab the back of Guan De’s head. He pressed Guan De’s head against the conference table with his arm. At some point, a half-foot-long dagger appeared in his other hand. He snorted and stabbed Guan De’s neck with his knife, revealing the tip of the knife under the conference table.
Guan De’s entire body was nailed to the table. He was inhaling less and exhaling more.
Liu Ming let go of his hand and gritted his teeth. “I gave you respect, but you don’t want it! F*ck, you really think you’re someone important! Those who don’t associate with us are enemies. If they’re enemies, I won’t let them have an easy time! Who else objects??”
This sudden action shocked the family heads sitting there. They looked at Liu Ming in surprise and were speechless. Guan De’s subordinates were the first to react. Just as they were about to attack, they were forced to stop by Liu Ming’s subordinates, who were already prepared.
Chen Yun was the first to stand up and question loudly, “Patriarch Liu, what do you mean?”
Liu Ming chuckled and said, “I’m sorry, Director Chen. I was rude in your territory. However, this stubborn old man is too much. If he doesn’t give Brother Yun respect, he’s not giving respect to the entire business world in Jiangbei. He’s betraying our path. If we don’t get rid of such a person, there might be another scum like the Song family!”
Chen Yun pretended to be in deep thought. After a while, he looked up at everyone and nodded. “Brother Liu’s methods are a little extreme, but what he said makes sense. All of us have to be together to survive and develop. If we have disloyal thoughts…”
Chen Yun deliberately stopped. Immediately, a few people continued, “Director Chen is right. If you have disloyalty, get rid of it as soon as possible. Unity is the hard truth!”
“Yes!” Chen Yun nodded. Then, he waved his hand. “Although Patriarch Liu was a little extreme, it’s for everyone’s sake. Everyone can understand his intentions. It’s a pity that Old Master Guan De lost his footing and fell to his death in my club today.”
When everyone heard this, they broke out in cold sweat. Did he say that Guan De fell to his death? He was clearly killed.
However, no one present objected. Even the new head of the Qian family, Qian Ying, looked at Chen Yun with wide eyes and tensed up. She knew that Chen Yun was a ruthless person, but she did not expect him to be so ruthless. She immediately understood why her grandfather had given up his position.
With such a person leading the way, she had to put on a show to reassure Chen Yun.
Moreover, although Qian Ying felt that Chen Yun was ruthless, she could foresee that Jiangbei would do better in his hands and they would obtain more benefits.
Everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to say a word. They all tacitly agreed that Elder Guan had fallen to his death.
Chen Yun looked straight at the remaining three people and said meaningfully, “Who else is against the merger? If you don’t agree, tell me now. I won’t make things difficult for you. After all, everyone has their own ambitions!”
The three of them were so frightened that they were dumbfounded. After Chen Yun finished speaking for a while, they finally reacted. They jumped up and said, “I agree with the merger! Under Director Chen’s leadership, we will definitely be able to eliminate all difficulties. No one can stop us from advancing…”
“Hehe, alright!” Chen Yun smiled and waved his hand, interrupting the nonsense of the three of them. He looked at Liu Ming and said, “Since the merger is a foregone conclusion, I won’t be modest anymore.”
After Chen Yun finished speaking, everyone said in unison, “Got it, Director Chen!”
“We will definitely shine in Director Chen’s hands!”
“The entire Jiangbei will definitely develop better than it did in the past and prosper!”
Chen Yun nodded at Ma Ke. The latter took a stack of white paper and distributed it to everyone seated. Chen Yun smiled and said, “This is the punishment regulation. No matter which clause you violate, you will ultimately be punished by the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone, remember this when you go back. I hope that no one will violate the clauses. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
No one dared to say no. They looked at the Chamber of Commerce regulations in their hands. There were a total of 30 clauses written on a piece of white paper. Their hearts trembled. However, some people felt that this was very reasonable. If the Chamber of Commerce did not have a law to manage it, it would be like a ball of loose sand. It would split sooner or later.
They were also quickly memorizing the rules. Although there were more than 30 rules, they were not overboard. At that moment, everyone no longer resisted Chen Yun.
Chen Yun got his subordinates to clean up Guan De’s corpse before waving his hand for everyone to sit down and discuss the merger and matters after merging. As for Guan De’s subordinates, Chen Yun did not care and let them go. Those people had indignant expressions, but their strength was inferior. Even if they fell out with Chen Yun now, they would not gain anything. They could only go back to the family and make plans.
These people thought well of themselves, but after leaving the meeting room, no one could leave the Ruby Club.
