“I have no way to help you. This case has already reached the higher-ups, and even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.”

Upon hearing Liu Shang's request, Sun Dahai sighed and said to Liu Shang.

"Captain Sun, you, hey!"

Hearing that Sun Dahai wasn't offering any help, Liu Shang wanted to say something more, but then he heard a dial tone from the other end.

Seeing the screen was now off, Liu Shang angrily threw his phone onto the coffee table.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? You think you can tell me not to help you for the sake of my future? How dare you!"

Sun Dahai, who had just hung up the phone, looked at it with disdain and muttered to himself.

"It's no longer feasible to work with Sun Dahai."

Lu Fan, who was sitting nearby, heard their conversation.

Sun Dahai's attitude was very clear: he didn't want to get involved in their mess. Lu Fan leaned back on the sofa and said.

"That bastard, once I get out of this predicament, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Liu Shang rarely humbled himself to ask for favors, and remembering how Sun Dahai had disrespected him earlier, he harbored resentment towards him.

"Alright, let's ignore him for now and think about what else we can do?"

Seeing that Liu Shang was still sulking, Lu Fan impatiently spoke to him.

"Chairman, please don't worry. Let's hear what President Lu has to say."

Zhang He quickly poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of Lu Fan and Liu Shang, then tried to persuade the angry Liu Shang.

"Hey, this is really difficult. Have the board members come over for a meeting right away and see what exactly happened."

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, he realized he hadn't expected things to be so tricky. After thinking for a moment, he said to them.

"I've already called and informed Mr. Lu; they'll be here in a little over an hour."

Upon hearing Lu Fan's instructions, Zhang He quickly replied.

"President Lu, Chairman, we have another idea."

"What method?"

Liu Shang, who had given up all hope, lit up when he heard that Zhang He still had a solution and asked him.

Even Lu Fan looked at Zhang He, wanting to hear what Zhang He could come up with if he himself couldn't think of anything.

"Let's not talk about this method."

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Zhang He thought of a solution, but he was still hesitant to say it aloud.

"Speak! Stop dawdling! What time is it now? The fire is already at our doorstep!"

Seeing Zhang He still acting coy, Liu Shang angrily said to him.

“I think the only way to solve this problem is to push the company’s directors out and make them take all the responsibility. Even if the government blames us, we will have an excuse.”

Seeing that Liu Shang was already angry, Zhang He gritted his teeth and told Lu Fan and Liu Shang the solution he had come up with.

"Impossible! I could never betray my brothers!"

After hearing this, Liu Shang turned his head away and said angrily.

Liu Shang hadn't expected Zhang He's solution, which was to give up the three directors, and he was very resistant to this idea.

I used to be a gangster myself, and I hate people who betray their brothers.

"Let's wait for them to discuss this matter."

Lu Fan was also very surprised, not expecting Zhang He to use such a vicious method. Although Lu Fan did not agree with it, he thought that there was no other way at the moment and he could only wait for the board of directors to come and discuss it again, so he did not reject Zhang He's method.

"This method won't work. Go and appease those troublemaking family members now, and keep things in check for me."

Since Liu Shang had rejected this approach, he could only think of another one. He realized that the whole thing was caused by the villagers causing trouble, so he quickly asked Zhang He to make amends.

Liu Shang still wanted to find a breakthrough through the villagers, as long as they gave him more money.

If we get them to stop this farce, all the trouble will be solved.

"Understood, I know what to do. I'll report back to you as soon as there's any progress."

Zhang He understood why he was assigned this task and knew what to do when he went to find the villagers. He assured Liu Shang and then hurriedly left the office. Zhang He knew that the sooner this matter was resolved, the better, and he dared not waste a moment.

Lu Fan watched Zhang He leave in a hurry, and then looked at Liu Shang, who looked melancholy.

He kept his purpose for coming to himself, as he was still unaware of the situation at Shanggong Group.

If money were to be taken from here now, Liu Shang would absolutely not allow it.

Lu Fan also leaned back on the sofa and sighed.

——

Zhang He left Liu Shang's office and walked to the company entrance.

After thinking about it, I realized I couldn't go alone, so I went to an office.

"He, I'm already tidying it up here, and it will be finished soon."

Big Bear, who was working in the office, saw Zhang He walk in, and quickly stood up with a smile and said to him.

“I already said, just call me Manager Zhang at the company. We can be brothers after work. We can do these things when we have time. Now come with me right away.”

After much deliberation, Zhang He still felt that he wasn't confident going alone.

If those villagers were to beat him in anger, his small arms and legs wouldn't be able to withstand it, which is why he remembered to ask Big Bear to go with him.

"Why not use a subordinate like that?" he said to Da Xiong, who was still organizing documents.

"Okay, Manager Zhang, where are we going?"
