With a shocked and angry expression, Liang Lisheng truly looked like he was so angry he was practically fuming.
Chen Rou suppressed a laugh, pointed at Secretary An's cigar head, and whispered, "Pull that thing off."
Secretary An is very efficient; she rubbed her hands together and said, "Okay!"
If we don't take action against Vice Chairman Liang soon, things will get out of hand. We have to do it. Secretary An decisively walked towards Liang Lisheng.
But just as he reached out, Liang Lishi suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table: "Ah Zhao, Wade joined Nie's two years ago. Don't tell me you've been plotting to plant people and seize power since then."
Secretary An couldn't reach it, so she scratched her ear to cover her embarrassment and waited for another opportunity.
Nie Zhao turned his head and asked Liang Lisheng, "Isn't it Chairman Liang who said that the victor is king and the loser is villain, and heroes don't care about their origins?"
Liang Lisheng quickly approached Nie Zhao, but after staring at him for a moment, he started circling the house: "The previous CEO of Nie's Group was always my eldest son, Sihan, but two years ago when he went to Europe on a business trip, he... he was assassinated."
The previous CEO was Liang Lisheng's eldest son, Liang Sihan, who worked with Nie Yao to manage the company.
However, two years ago, Liang Sihan was ambushed while on a business trip to Europe. After returning, he fell ill and subsequently withdrew from management, only holding a nominal position as a consultant. It was at that time that Wade was hired with a high salary and started working.
But neither Nie Rong nor Liang Lisheng expected that Wade would be Nie Zhao's confidant.
The external CEO has no equity, only an annual salary, and is under a contract. He currently has Nie Yao's authorization, and unless the board of directors holds a meeting to dismiss him, he can continue to manage Nie's business, and no one has the right to interfere with him.
But if Liang Lisheng wants to fire Wade, he has to get rid of Nie Rong first, because Nie Rong will definitely stand firmly on Nie Zhao's side, so he will definitely oppose it, making it very difficult for Liang Lisheng to fire Wade.
A seemingly simple, and indeed complex, situation, and sitting at the center of it all is Nie Zhao.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already taken over the Nie family through Wade.
Liang Lisheng was indignant and was almost ready to point his finger at Nie Zhao, accusing him of being despicable and shameless.
But Nie Zhao remained calm and even smiled, saying, "Uncle Liang, your son Sihan contracted AIDS because of unsafe sex. It has nothing to do with me, and there was no conspiracy involved. By the way, is he still using the cocktail therapy I recommended? It's currently recognized globally as the best treatment for controlling AIDS. Tell him he must try it."
Well, this is another incredibly shocking piece of news.
Nie Rong thought he wouldn't be surprised anymore, but he was still shocked when he heard that Liang Lisheng's son had AIDS.
Yes, Liang Lisheng's so-called underhanded scheme was indeed dishonorable, and it had little to do with Nie Zhao. Nie Zhao contracted AIDS while visiting a red-light district during a business trip to Europe, and that's when he left the company.
Secretary An wandered around the room, chasing after Liang Lisheng and trying to snatch his cigar, but just as he was about to grab it, he heard "AIDS" and failed again because Liang Lisheng ran away. So, he had no choice but to continue chasing.
Liang Lisheng was still pacing around, his head still steaming. In the small living room, he kept pacing around the sofa and TV, glancing back at Nie Zhao every now and then with such unfamiliar eyes, as if he were meeting him for the first time.
He wanted to call Nie Zhao despicable and shameless, but his son contracted AIDS from prostitution, so what did that have to do with Nie Zhao?
He wanted to criticize Nie Zhao for not following the rules, but how could he himself have followed the rules today?
Nie Zhao sat there, his hunched hospital gown accentuating his sharp shoulders. His head was wrapped in white gauze, and deep bruises were visible under his eyes. His lips were exceptionally red and beautifully shaped, with sharp corners and a full center. Paired with his deep-set eyes, he appeared both affectionate and ruthless at times.
His appearance was just like his stunningly beautiful mother; he was a very handsome man.
But a man who is too handsome should be naive and incapable of accomplishing anything, but Nie Zhao is not like that.
He had a face as beautiful as his mother's, but he was far more ruthless than her.
As for CEO Wade being one of his men, Liang Lisheng actually admires him quite a bit.
Nie Zhao took over the Nie family's European businesses at the age of twenty and began to expand operations. It took him about five years to establish a foothold in Europe. After that, he was hired by the Nie family through an external recruitment agency. Then, this year, when the Hong Kong airport was under construction, he returned at the invitation of the government. Step by step, he steadily and surely gained control of everything from the government level to the Nie family.
This decisiveness and ruthlessness was something Nie Yao, a gentle and mild-mannered young master raised in a sheltered environment, lacked.
But this is precisely what a leader of a listed company should be like. After all, if you're not ruthless, your empire won't be stable. In the business world, it's true that only the winner takes all, and heroes don't care about their origins. As long as the goal is achieved, no one cares about the process.
...
Liang Lisheng, who had been very irritable, suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.
If he falls silent, Mei Lu should get anxious.
She didn't realize the seriousness of the situation when it first happened, and rashly sent her son to make a decision. As a result, her son disappeared. She then sent her younger brother, but he also disappeared without a trace.
She then brought Liang Lisheng, representing the board of directors, hoping to exert pressure from the company to get her son back.
But she never expected that Nie Zhao, who had only been back in Hong Kong for six months and had never complained and had been focused on his work, would be so cunning as to arrange manpower in the company's management. She also never expected that he would disregard blood ties and kidnap his own brother.
