As soon as Zhuang Pengfei finished speaking, everyone in the conference room, except Chairman Yan Xiao, was stunned on the spot.
Intelligence Minister Yu Jingren had a bewildered look on his face.
After looking at Zhuang Pengfei, he looked at Chairman Yan Xiao, whose expression remained calm, and immediately fell into deep thought.
At the meeting, he mentioned his suspicions about Chen Yan and his team, and the possible disgraceful roles that Chen Yan and his team might have played in the death of Hao Hongsheng. This was not in order to let the company conduct an in-depth investigation into Chen Yan and his team.
Rather, Hao Hongsheng’s death itself was related to internal struggles within the company.
Although those struggles were basically controllable in the eyes of several people on the board of directors, once the internal strife became intense to the point where people started to die, the board of directors would have to respond and appropriately cool down the heated situation to prevent the intensity of the struggle from becoming increasingly high and ultimately affecting the overall stability within the company.
Finding out the truth about Hao Hongsheng's death is one of the steps in a series of cooling-down actions.
No one likes to be kept in the dark, especially a regional giant like Kahn Company.
In the area under their actual control where their dominance is the strongest, if something is hidden from their eyes and ears, it means that their control over the area under their actual control is being weakened.
This is something that all the directors of the Kahn Company Board cannot accept.
Therefore, the directors of Kahn Company must find out whether Chen Yan and his group have anything to do with Hao Hongsheng's death.
Hao Hongsheng himself is not important, what is important is how he died.
Of course, for Kahn Company, the current importance of Chen Yan and his team is far greater than that of Hao Hongsheng.
Even if Hao Hongsheng was really killed by Chen Yan and his group, the board of directors would not pursue the matter.
After all, Chen Yan and his team had not yet joined the Kahn Company at that time. The reason why they had a life-and-death conflict with Hao Hongsheng was probably due to some misunderstandings or coincidences.
Since he is not an official member of the company, he naturally does not need to abide by the company's rules and regulations. From a strict point of view, even if Hao Hongsheng was really killed by Chen Yan and his group, it was just a normal conflict.
Since Chen Yan and his team have joined the company and have demonstrated potential and material collection capabilities that are worthy of great attention in the past two months, the previous conflicts can actually be written off.
But the truth still needs to be clarified.
They don't need evidence, they just need to find sufficient basis to support their judgment.
But Yu Jingren never expected that things would unfold in such a mysterious way. Why would Chen Yan be nominated as the director of the company's production department for no apparent reason?
The key point is... although Zhuang Pengfei is the company's vice chairman, he rarely expresses his opinions at the company's board meetings.
Generally, Zhuang Pengfei will only step forward to act as a booster when Chairman Yan Xiao is not convenient to take the initiative to promote something.
So... that's what the chairman meant?
A host of thoughts flashed through Yu Jingren's mind. After glancing at Yan Xiao, he did not comment on the proposal but fell into silence.
Yu Jingren was not the only one who remained silent.
When Zhuang Pengfei suddenly came up with this proposal, the entire conference room instantly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
It took a while for the directors to recover from this ridiculous proposal.
Cheng Zimo, the head of the Security Department, was the first to frown and said, "Deputy Director Zhuang, isn't this idea... a bit hasty? I'm not targeting Chen Yan. As long as the company gives him the ninth-level potion and he successfully absorbs it, he will definitely be qualified to serve as the head of the department."
The problem was, he had only been with the company for a little over two months. In such a short time, aside from his accomplishments on the collection mission, he hadn't made any other contributions to the company, nor had he interacted much with anyone else within the company. How could he have suddenly been promoted to such a high position?
Putting aside other issues, just considering the seniority, suddenly promoting a newcomer to such a position would surely make everyone in the production department feel uncomfortable. How many challenges will Chen Yan have to face? Can he maintain his position as director? He can't rely on us for support whenever there's a problem, right?
Yu Chengdong, the head of the Special Operations Department, coughed dryly and continued, "I agree with Zimo's opinion. Actually, given Zimo's status, it's not appropriate for him to say such things, but Zimo has no selfish motives, and his concerns are valid. Even if Li Jie and Huang Hui are unsuitable for promotion due to various issues, it would still be a hasty decision to hastily place a newcomer like Chen Yan in such an important position. Let's...consider the long-term plan?"
Minister of Supervision Wei Shouzhong continued to remain silent and did not seem to have any intention of expressing his opinion.
Others are used to it.
Unless Chairman Yan Xiao directly calls his name, Wei Shouzhong basically appears to be mute in all board meetings.
So the entire board of directors of Kahn Company is said to have six people, plus Yan Xiao who has two votes, so it seems that the winning system is a seven-vote four-out-of-seven system.
But in fact, Yan Xiao had two votes, Wei Shouzhong had one vote, and Zhuang Pengfei had one vote.
This means that Yan Xiao can directly control the voting direction of the four votes.
Therefore, as long as Yan Xiaoyi intends to promote something, he will not encounter any real obstruction at the board meeting.
Of course, on other unimportant matters, Yan Xiao would often choose to abstain from voting, and the decision-making power would be handed over to several other directors.
This caused everyone's attention to focus on Yan Xiao after Cheng Zimo and Yu Chengdong expressed their opinions.
They were a little confused as to whether Yan Xiao intended to push this matter forward alone or had other plans.
Facing these gazes, Yan Xiao didn't pretend to be mysterious, but spoke in a very clear manner: "Seniority is not a problem. Our Kahn Company has never been a place that values seniority. Contribution is not a problem either. Although it is only a contribution from the collection mission, the collection mission is the most difficult mission.
It might not seem dangerous, but completing it requires both skill and luck. Chen Yan, forcing a collection mission to the point of having to shut it down, is unprecedented in the company. Crucially, he clearly has a way to obtain the necessary supplies, though we don't know what that means.
If someone can leverage their own access to supplies to directly acquire large quantities of high-quality pharmaceuticals from the company, and if he takes the position of Production Director, we don't need to worry about him embezzling money. So, in my opinion, he's a perfect fit. Is a vote necessary?"
Cheng Zimo and Yu Chengdong looked at each other and then shook their heads.
