That afternoon, Huihuang Supermarket Store No. 5 was holding a shareholders' meeting.

The small conference room was filled with shareholders, with Zhao Laixi, Qian Shun, and Sun Zhengmin at the head of the table.

The other shareholders are basically just there for show.

Wang Cheng stared intently at today's provincial economic newspaper with a dark expression. He never expected that Wang Peng would take a photo and publish it in the newspaper.

Given Wang Peng's connections and abilities, and the Economic Daily's shameless behavior of taking money without any regard for consequences, news of him beating his elderly father came about.

Thinking of this, Wang Cheng suddenly felt a little regretful.

Wang Peng's request that day was very simple: he just wanted to kneel down in front of his elderly father and apologize. If only he had agreed then.

"Hmph." Zhao Laixi coughed and picked up the newspaper in front of him. "President Wang, tell me about it."

“I was outmaneuvered by Wang Peng, I admit defeat.” Wang Cheng stood up and said seriously, “I take full responsibility.”

The air was quiet, and everyone was staring at him.

Zhao Laixi smiled slightly: "President Wang, this matter has already caused quite a stir in the city. Your behavior has violated public order and good morals."

"You are the president of our Brilliant company; to put it bluntly, you are the face of Brilliant."

"If something like this happens, not only will your reputation be ruined, but it will also affect your illustrious reputation. What do you plan to do?"

Although the words were questioning, the tone was very gentle, and they didn't sound like a question at all.

So everyone understood that Chairman Zhao Laixi wanted to downplay the matter and let Wang Cheng off lightly.

Second-largest shareholder Qian Shun said in a deep voice, "President Wang Cheng, how do you intend to resolve this?"

Wang Cheng replied, "I went to my father to kowtow and admit my mistake, begging him to forgive me. I also invited the Economic Daily to record the whole process, and I published an apology letter in the newspaper."

The air fell silent again, and everyone was deep in thought.

Qian Shun nodded. This method was only a remedy, not a solution.

Even if Wang Song forgives Wang Cheng, and even if Wang Cheng's apology letter appears in the newspaper, his reputation will be ruined in the provincial capital, because public opinion has already formed.

Qian Shun said, "President Wang Cheng, your actions will definitely damage Huihuang's reputation, thereby affecting Huihuang's business. I suggest..."

He looked at Zhao Laixi and said in a deep voice, "I recommend to the board of directors that Wang Cheng be temporarily removed from his position as CEO."

These words were like a stone thrown into a pond; with a bang, the scene instantly became lively.

People started discussing it.

Wang Cheng glanced at the expressions of Zhao, Qian, Sun, and the other two, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, knowing that this was the result of their discussion.

He had long anticipated that only by severing ties with Wang Cheng could Huihuang ensure that its reputation and business would not be affected.

"Wang Peng, you're really ruthless! I've finally witnessed your methods. You're really something!" Wang Cheng was furious.

He felt like a snake whose vital spot had been hit.

"Mr. Wang, do you have anything to say about Lao Qian's suggestion?" Zhao Laixi asked with a smile.

“I have no objection.” Wang Cheng shook his head. “I am willing to resign, based on the board’s opinion.”

The murmurs subsided, and Zhao Laixi said softly, "Comrades, those who agree with Wang Cheng's resignation, please raise your hands."

Immediately, the three major shareholders, including Zhao Laixin, raised their hands, and most of the shareholders also raised their hands.

The next morning, Wang Peng saw the solemn statement from Huihuang Group in the provincial capital's economic newspaper.

The Brilliant Group deeply regrets the incident in which Brilliant CEO Wang Cheng assaulted his elderly father due to a misunderstanding.

At the same time, we strongly condemn this behavior that undermines public order and good morals.

The collective decided to take serious action against Wang Cheng and remove him from his position as CEO.

Li Mingzhu put down her newspaper and said with a smile, "Congratulations, husband, you finally brought down Wang Cheng."

"Bring him down?" Wang Peng shook his head. "He only lost the CEO position, not the shares."

Wang Cheng seized the shares that originally belonged to Hu Qing. Even if he didn't become the president and just stayed at home all day, the annual dividends would still allow him to live a carefree life.

"Honey, this is a victory. Wang Cheng must hate you to death." Li Mingzhu smiled slightly and handed her son to her husband to hold.

Wang Peng carried Wang Jiye and strolled around the house, from the living room to the bedroom, and then from the bedroom to the study. After an hour of this, he finally managed to get his son to sleep.

He tiptoed into the bedroom and gently placed his son next to his wife.

He glanced at the sleeping mother and child, smiled slightly, and tiptoed back to his study to continue reading today's newspaper.

The phone suddenly rang; it was Du Lei calling.

"Brother Peng, we have officially donated 25 million yuan to the provincial university. The provincial news has already interviewed us, and it is expected to be broadcast at 8 pm tonight."

Wang Peng nodded. "Okay, are you ready to go to night school?"

"Brother Peng!" Du Lei sighed on the phone, feeling anxious and upset at the thought of going to school in the coming days.

"Don't get emotional. Having a degree is definitely a good thing," Wang Peng said, unable to help but laugh out loud.

Du Lei laughed on the phone too. Even though he was extremely unwilling, he had to go to school.

Wang Peng said with a smile, "Brother Lei, Wang Cheng has been dismissed from his position as president. What do you think?"

"Good thing." Du Lei thought for a moment and said, "Should we activate our first surveillance plan?"

"Let's get started. You'll be in charge personally? Do you even have time?" Wang Peng asked.

"There should be," Du Lei said. "I'll try first, and if there really isn't enough time, I'll hand it over to Mingyue."

The two brothers chatted for a few more minutes before Wang Peng hung up the phone.

The major shareholder of Huihuang Supermarket has brought in Ma Jinyan, Xi's young wife, who has already cheated on him with Wang Cheng.

Wang Peng planned to collect evidence of their dating and deliver it to Zhao Laixi at some point to discourage him from supporting Wang Cheng.

Zhao Laixi and Qian Shun are of one mind. If they both abandon Wang Cheng, it will be difficult for Wang Cheng to gain a foothold in Huihuang Supermarket.

By then, he will only be able to receive dividends from his shares.

Just then, the phone rang again. Wang Peng answered the call, and Wang Song's anxious voice came through.

"Xiao Peng, come quick! Wang Cheng has brought a group of reporters to see me. He says he wants to kneel down and apologize to me."

Wang Peng paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "This is a good thing. Just kick the reporters out and make Wang Cheng kneel down."

“No, I can’t,” Wang Song said anxiously. “A group of reporters have come, some with microphones and some with cameras. I’m a little scared and I don’t dare to open the door for them.”

Wang Peng scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

He hung up the phone, gently opened the bedroom door, and saw his wife and children sleeping soundly.

Looking at their sleeping faces, Wang Peng couldn't bear to disturb them, so he wrote a note to his wife telling her where he was going.

He placed the note on the desk, tiptoed downstairs, and drove to the residential area where Wang Song lived.

He saw the provincial TV station's car in the residential area, and when he entered the apartment building, he saw a reporter carrying a camera, as well as Wang Cheng, who was dressed in a suit and tie.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, and Wang Peng gave a cold smile: "Wang Cheng, it's too late to apologize now."

Wang Cheng hurriedly shook his head. "It's not too late, I've already realized my mistake..."

"No!" Wang Peng sneered, "You don't know you're wrong, you're just scared."
