Jiang Yan made a sophistry.

“The situation is different now than it was three years ago, Zhi, you have to face the facts.”

Jiang Zhi scoffed and gave a wicked smile.

"Aside from Tianzi's fragrance series being only slightly ahead of Rong's Group by 0.3%, which brand of Dongyang Group, apart from its wine business, isn't suppressed by Rong's Group? Vice President Jiang, is this what you call a strategic vision?"

Before my car accident, the situation was completely different. Brands like Diana, Sue, and AO were all on par with the Rong Group. And now? Need I say more?

As soon as Jiang Zhi finished speaking, the directors present began to whisper among themselves.

Instantly, Jiang Yan became displeased, her face turning cold and sullen.

She still tried her best to push her son to the position.

She had previously informed the other directors that they would unanimously remove Jiang Zhi from office today.

The other directors agreed.

Jiang Yan said confidently, "Why don't we all vote? I believe that all the directors here have discerning eyes and are doing this for the good of Dongyang Group. They will make the right choice."

Jiang Chi looked serious as he scanned the assembled directors.

"The Qiao Group has appointed the Qiao family's son-in-law as president. This is one of the agreements in the acquisition negotiations. The candidate will not change; it will be A-Zhi as president. Jiang Tuo is not qualified."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's face immediately darkened, and she glared at her father with annoyance.

She wouldn't even want her son to marry that slut!

She wanted Jiang Zhi to hand over the power he held.

Don't think she doesn't know her father's ulterior motives. Her father put Jiang Zhi in charge of the Qiao Group so that Jiang Zhi could deliver outstanding results and then rightfully hand over the entire Dongyang Group to Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Yan will not follow her father's wishes.

“Chairman, Jiang Zhi holds multiple positions. Can he manage it all? What will happen to the affairs under his jurisdiction if he gets sick and hospitalized every few days? I'm doing this for the good of Dongyang Group and I'm trying to keep him on easy. Don't let him ruin his health and then complain that we put too much pressure on him. It won't be easy to talk to him then.”

Jiang Chi calmly said, "As far as I know, Ah Zhi is in good health. The acquisition of the Qiao Group and the development of the Dongyang Group's luxury brand were his decisions. I believe he is prepared to come back, and I support him. To be fair, let's vote."

Jiang Chi was the first to raise his hand and cast his vote in favor.

Immediately afterwards, most of the directors raised their hands.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan was furious.

Her expression was terrifyingly ferocious.

They all agreed to this, but they turned against each other at the last minute. These people are really bastards!

Jiang Chi: "More than half of the people have voted in favor. I hereby announce that Jiang Zhi will continue to serve as the Vice President of Dongyang Group and continue to oversee all of Dongyang Group's luxury brands."

Jiang Zhi wields such great power, yet the result was voted on by the board of directors; it's as if she shot herself in the foot.

Even though she was furious, Jiang Yan had no way to argue back.

She left before the meeting was over.

We'll see. Jiang Zhi won't be smug for long.

...

In the conference room, the board members applauded to welcome Jiang Zhi back.

Jiang Zhi smiled inscrutably.

He had known about his aunt's actions all along; he deliberately conspired with the board members to put her in a difficult position at the meeting and embarrass her.

From the moment of the car accident, he would not give his aunt another chance to scheme against him.

He is now completing the grand plan that he couldn't finish back then.

He wants to build Dongyang Group into a luxury goods behemoth!

Grandpa was still asleep, and Qiao Chu stood by the glass window of the ICU looking at him.

Nangong Jin arrived, looking at Qiao Chu with a roguish grin.

"I heard you and Jiang Zhi have already registered your marriage. Congratulations! I have good news for you: I can save your grandfather's life."
