Chapter 163: Do I Deserve It?

Humans were all creatures that pursued profits. Whether it was Grandfather Ji or Ji Yan, neither of them were id*ots. A company that had lost money year after year had become Ji Mei’s blood-sucking tool from the Ji Corporation. How could they tolerate it for so long? The meaning behind all these was self-evident. This company was not an ordinary small company. It was connected to the higher-ups.

Unfortunately, Ji Mei was even more greedy and ignorant than Grandfather Ji and Ji Yan had imagined. Sucking blood from the Ji Corporation was no longer enough to satisfy her desires. She had malicious thoughts and began illegally raising funds.

This was something that the Ji Corporation could not tolerate. Therefore, after Ji Mei was removed from the company, Shen Hanxing wanted to take over the company. Once the company was run well, it would be a link to the higher-ups. In the future, the development of the Ji Corporation would be even smoother.

Shen Hanxing was determined to get this company. She smiled at Lu Jin, not giving in at all.

“Your courage is admirable, Ms. Shen.” After a long while, Lu Jin retracted his ferocious aura. His eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Shen Hanxing. “I will truthfully report your thoughts to the higher-ups.” At that moment, he had a new understanding of Shen Hanxing. A person with nothing else but their good looks wouldn’t be able to achieve anything. However, with her beauty, intelligence, and means, her future achievements would definitely be astonishing.

Shen Hanxing’s side had achieved what she wanted and the matter had been resolved perfectly. However, on the other side, the shareholders’ meeting of the Ji Corporation was not so smooth. In the solemn meeting room, the atmosphere was cold.

Cheng Songyang sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression. His index finger was tapping the table rhythmically. The entire meeting room was filled with slow and rhythmic sounds. The atmosphere was getting more and more oppressive.

“Old Zhou, don’t be ungrateful!” Liu Kui couldn’t help but take the initiative to attack. “Everyone has witnessed the contributions that Mr. Cheng has made for the Ji Corporation during this period of time. Mr. Cheng truly deserves to be the CEO of the Ji Corporation!”

“The Ji Corporation is able to become what it is today because of the CEO Ji Yan’s hard work,” Zhou Xun said bluntly with a sullen face. “Now that CEO Ji has an accident and is recuperating at home, you guys can’t wait to seize power? Who the h*ll are you, Liu Kui? You’re just a dog raised by Cheng Songyang. Do you think you’re qualified to talk to me?”

“If he’s not qualified, then am I?” Cheng Songyang slammed the table. “Zhou Xun, don’t be unreasonable!”

“I’m unreasonable?” Zhou Xun sneered. “Mr. Cheng, you were promoted by CEO Ji. If it weren’t for CEO Ji, how could you, Cheng Songyang, be where you are today? Now that CEO Ji got into a car accident, you can’t wait to usurp his position? Such a heartless b*stard!”

“Ji Yan got into a car accident, so now the Ji Corporation has to stop and wait for him? The corporation doesn’t need to develop anymore? The tens of thousands of employees under the corporation don’t need to make a living anymore?” Cheng Songyang said angrily, “Are you telling me that without Ji Yan here, the entire Ji Corporation has to be buried along with him?! How long has it been since his car accident? Other than accompanying that wife of his to occasionally make an appearance in public, when has he ever gone out?” Cheng Songyang’s gaze swept across the others. “We work in the Ji Corporation to earn money, not to be slaves. Ji Yan doesn’t have the ability to manage the company, so what’s wrong with getting him to step down?”

“Cheng Songyang, you’re confusing yourself!” Zhou Xun was even angrier. “CEO Ji only had his legs broken, he didn’t lose his ability to work. He suddenly suffered such a huge setback and his body was damaged. What’s wrong with resting at home for a while?! Moreover, when CEO Ji was in office, he had never taken leave to rest. His break now is akin to him taking his annual leave. And you bunch of ingrates want to kick CEO Ji out of his position when he’s on his annual leave. How malicious!”

Liu Kui snorted coldly, “Taking his annual leave? Zhou Xun, your words are even better than your singing. Everyone here knows exactly how CEO Ji’s health is. Just as Mr. Cheng had said, we’re here to work and make money. How much did Ji Corporation’s stock fall because of CEO Ji’s injury? If Mr. Cheng didn’t make up for it in time, everyone here would have lost their jobs!”

“Stock fluctuations are something normal. You want to blame CEO Ji for this?” Zhou Xun was so angry that his chest was heaving up and down. “Now that you keep bringing up money to talk about all these, then why don’t you talk about how you all made a lot of money with CEO Ji when he was still in office? Before CEO Ji got into an accident, all of you bowed and flattered him. Every one of you wanted to rip your hearts out to bootlick. Now that something has happened to CEO Ji, all of you run away faster than a rabbit! You are all a bunch of despicable people who forget their loyalty for profit!”

Zhou Xun’s words made many people lower their heads in shame.
