Chapter 439 Taking His Place
"Yes, Mr. Huo, when I handed the company over to you, I hoped that you could lead our business and family to a new level, instead of holding us back!"
"Mr. Huo, please think twice before you act. Don't continue for your own selfish reasons."
Huo Yishen glanced at everyone present with an indifferent expression, tapping the table with his knuckles. "So, you're saying you regret supporting me now? Are you going to threaten me into doing what you say?"
His aura is astonishing.
Many shareholders present were unconsciously shocked.
"Please don't forget how you all vowed to follow me. Besides, I'm your grandmother's designated heir. Now that the company is in my hands, I should be the one to arrange and control it."
He swept his eyes over everyone present and warned, "It's none of your business to tell me what I'm going to do! Don't just focus on the immediate benefits. Since I can lose this money, I can naturally find ways to make it back later! Dismissed."
After saying that, he slammed the table and stood up to leave first.
Many younger shareholders were still a little frightened and left the meeting room one after another.
Only a few old shareholders remained, sighing and lamenting, "How could we let such an arrogant person take the helm? We were so wrong!"
"I don't know what his obsession with the Jiang family is. Isn't this just using his power and position to settle a personal grudge?"
"If I had known this, I would have——"
When the shareholders said this, their eyes suddenly fell on the corner of the conference room.
There was a woman in her thirties sitting there, with a few pink strands streaked in her long hair. She held one cheek with one hand and yawned, looking sleepy and lazy.
But even with such an accent, it is still difficult to conceal the distinctive features and heroic spirit of his facial features.
As if noticing the gazes of the shareholders, the woman opened her deep blue eyes and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Jianwei!" One of the old shareholders came over with a smile, "We all know that when it comes to inheritance rights, you are the legitimate bloodline of the Cheng family. If you want..."
"No, I don't want to!" Cheng Jianwei stood up immediately, "Sorry everyone, I have an appointment with some friends to go to the bar later, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.
The old shareholders were speechless.
"You're such a loser! I knew it was hard for women to achieve great things."
"Forget it. I can't count on her anyway. For now, I'll just follow Mr. Huo's arrangements and let things change!"
…
On the other side, after Cheng Jianwei arrived at the bar, he immediately asked the manager to serve the drinks, and then ordered a few more male models to come and serve.
"Okay, Miss Cheng." The manager quickly went out to make arrangements.
Not long after, high-end wine and fruit were delivered. Soft and pleasant music was playing in the box. Cheng Jianwei leaned lazily on the sofa, sipping his wine.
Half asleep and half awake, the door of the box opened and she saw a man and a woman walk in.
Cheng Jianwei's eyes suddenly widened, a smile on his face: "Wow! When did this bar produce such a high-quality male model? He even brought a beautiful woman in. Is this for some excitement?"
Jiang Yao looked at her excited expression, not knowing what she was thinking. The corner of his mouth twitched, "Miss Cheng, you really know how to joke. I think you should recognize our identities. We came here this time to discuss a cooperation with you."
"Tsk." Cheng Jianwei suddenly felt a little bored. "What's the point of cooperation? I hate talking about business. You can leave now."
Jiang Yao closed the door, walked up to her, and said slowly, "Ms. Cheng, why do you have to keep me at a distance like this? From what I know, you once had the greatest chance of inheriting the group, but it was later taken away by an outsider.
After all these years of meticulous training and hard work toward your goal, you end up having someone take everything from you just because they're a man, taking advantage of that one little advantage. Are you really willing to accept that?"
Facing these remarks, Cheng Jianwei remained calm and said, "Why should I be unwilling? I have worked so hard since I was a child, and you have forced me to do things I don't want to do. I have long been tired of it. Now I finally have the opportunity to get rid of the burden. I am so happy!"
If Miss Jiang thinks that just by saying this you can sow discord between our families, then you are really wrong!"
She was completely unmoved and didn't fall for it at all.
This calm and fearless attitude made Jiang Yao look at her with even higher regard.
At this moment, Li Beiting beside him dropped a bombshell, "I heard that Miss Cheng's mother had an accident ten years ago and is still lying in a hospital abroad and has not woken up yet."
Cheng Jianwei's pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression finally changed.
"Mr. Li, you know so much! Don't you know there's a saying that goes, 'The more you know, the faster you die?'" Her tone turned cold.
"I only know that as long as I have enough bargaining chips, I can negotiate the terms."
Li Beiting, however, took Jiang Yao in his arms and sat down, his tone nonchalant: "From what I know, Miss Cheng should care about your mother very much. Over the years, you have been transferring money to foreign hospitals so that they can use the best medical equipment and technology to maintain her vital signs.
But this is only a temporary solution! There is a blood clot in your mother's brain that is pressing on her brain nerves, which is why she has never been able to wake up.
Only surgery can offer a chance of recovery, but this surgery is extremely difficult. With today's medical technology, the chance of recovery is less than 50%!"
"What on earth do you want to say!" Cheng Jianwei's face became increasingly cold.
"I want to say that I know a miracle doctor. All the operations he has performed have never failed. If Miss Cheng is willing to trust me, I can ask him to come out and help your mother treat her illness." Li Beiting finally stated his ultimate purpose.
"Oh, it sounds good, saying you've never lost is just a reputation built up by someone else." Cheng Jianwei was dismissive, "No matter how good you are at bragging, it's useless."
Hadn't she seen various doctors over the years?
As a result, those people did not dare to guarantee the success of the operation.
Even if there was a 50% chance, she didn't want to risk her mother's life.
Jiang Yao looked into her eyes and said sincerely, "Ms. Cheng, you look like you care about your mother very much. If there really is such a miracle doctor who can work miracles, don't you really want to give it a try? How many decades does a person have in life? If you continue to waste time, have you ever thought about the day you can see your mother again?"
The longer it takes, the less hope there is.
Just as she had lost hope, her mother appeared in her life.
She felt that God was kind and miracles did happen.
Cheng Jianwei was speechless.
Of course she understood this.
She was in a long dilemma.
