In a hotel room.

There were empty wine bottles and countless cigarette butts piled on the ground. A weak man was lying on the sofa. He looked haggard and had stubble on his face, making him look even more slovenly.

Six hours ago.

Imagine Technology Co., Ltd.

"Cluck"——

The secretary knocked on the door and walked in, reporting urgently: "Mr. Li, the board assistant just called to inform us that an extraordinary shareholders' meeting will be held in an hour."

Extraordinary general meeting of shareholders?

Li Baijun frowned slightly and asked, "Why is it so sudden?"

The secretary looked embarrassed and shook his head, "I don't know about this."

"You go out first." Li Baijun waved his hand.

Then he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

After the call was answered, Li Baijun asked directly, "Why is there an impromptu shareholders' meeting?"

The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and replied blankly: "What? No one informed me about this? I'll go ask someone."

The man who was talking to Li Baijun was his best friend and confidant, Xu Zhiming.

While waiting for a reply, Li Baijun suddenly had a bad feeling. What would be waiting for him when a shareholders' meeting was suddenly held?

After the last time something like that happened, he was locked up and beaten, and was released just when he thought he was dead.

He had been busy with work these days, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

The shareholders' meeting was held so suddenly today. He inexplicably thought of the mysterious man he met that night. He was able to enter and leave Fu's Hotel freely. He was probably not someone who was easy to mess with, right?

He realized it belatedly, as if a storm was about to come, and his calmness was so calm that one could smell something unusual.

Li Baijun raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. The expression on his face was no longer as gentle as before, and his eyes were full of gloom. Was he really in trouble?

Three minutes later, Xu Zhiming called back. Li Baijun picked up the phone and heard him say, "Baijun, this shareholders' meeting seemed really sudden. Many people don't know what happened. According to them, it was Lao Chen who encouraged them to jointly initiate it."

Li Baijun narrowed his eyes and looked out the window. Chen Hong, the company's deputy general manager and his arch-enemy, had always been coveting the company's management rights and the position he sat in.

How could he, by himself, convince so many shareholders to agree to hold a shareholders' meeting?

Does Chen Hong have any trump card in his hand?

Li Baijun pushed open the door of the conference room. All the shareholders had arrived, including Xu Zhiming. He signaled to Li Baijun with his eyes at the man sitting next to the middle seat in the conference room.

Li Baijun glanced over and naturally saw the smug look on Chen Hong's face.

He walked to the middle seat and was about to sit down when a voice came out from the quiet conference room: "Mr. Li, it seems inappropriate for you to sit in this seat."

The voice came from beside him. Li Baijun looked to the right and Chen Hong looked back at him without giving in.

"What do you mean?" Li Baijun's face was gloomy and he looked a little angry.

Suddenly, this incident filled the entire conference room with tension and the shareholders looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xu Zhiming spoke first: "Chen Hong, who do you think you are? How dare you show up here?"

Chen Hong stood up and said with a slight smile: "As one of the shareholders, shouldn't I be here?"

Now many people are confused. When did Chen Hong become a shareholder of the company?

Li Baijun glanced at everyone's faces. He felt that Chen Hong did not seem to be lying, and he secretly wondered the reason.

Xu Zhiming was obviously stunned for a moment. When he wanted to stand up and settle the accounts with Chen Hong, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The secretary walked in, followed by a strange man with neatly combed black hair, wearing a black suit, and an indifferent expression on his face.

He held a computer in his hand, walked past Li Baijun, placed the computer in the middle, and then connected it to the projector.

Before Li Baijun could say anything, an exceptionally handsome foreign man appeared on the projection screen.

He greeted the people in the conference room enthusiastically, "Hi, Chinese friends, hello." Behind him was the pitch-black night.

Everyone was puzzled, including Li Baijun. He didn't know this person. What was he doing here?

But the next moment, they heard shocking news from this man.

"I'm sorry to call an extraordinary shareholders' meeting so suddenly," he introduced himself. "I'm Smith, and I'm also the largest shareholder of Changxiang Technology. I have a few things to announce now: first, I'm officially dismissing Li Baijun from his position as general manager; second, I'm promoting Chen Hong to be the new general manager of Changxiang Technology; third, I'm going to give him 5% of my private shares as a reward and appointment gift."

Smith spoke a lot of things to the camera with great enthusiasm, completely disregarding their emotions and reactions.

Then, he paused for a second and said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with here, so let's leave it at that for now."

He blinked at the camera, and then the picture went blank.

Smith left behind a bunch of people who were still in a daze. They were totally unprepared for what happened to Smith and had many questions in their minds.

However, when they looked at Li Baijun's expression, they gave up the idea.

They really don’t care who owns the company. They only care about whether there is profit to be made. After all, they are all businessmen.

The man who walked in with a computer took out a document from his briefcase and said to Li Baijun, who had a gloomy face, in a cold tone: "This is Mr. Smith's resignation letter and compensation to you. Please sign it."

It seemed that he was not at all surprised at the sudden change of ownership of the company.

Li Baijun glanced down at the terms and conditions. He laughed at himself and said, "How come I didn't know that my company had been bought by someone?"

He looked towards the man, suppressed anger on his face.

The man obviously didn't want to answer his question and still said, "Please sign."

Li Baijun remained silent and did not take any action.

Xu Zhiming was the first person present to react. He looked at everyone and asked loudly, gritting his teeth, "Who the hell sold the company?"

Their company was acquired so suddenly? !

At this time, Chen Hong stood up again and said in a very sarcastic tone: "Mr. Li, please sign it quickly to save some face for yourself."

Xu Zhiming yelled at him: "You're talking bullshit!"

Chen Hong shrugged. He didn't say anything wrong.

The man finally couldn't stand it anymore and warned, "Mr. Li, if you still don't sign, we will have to ask a lawyer to handle it."

Li Baijun glanced at the shareholders who were sitting there with their heads down and keeping silent, as well as Chen Hong who looked impatient to take the position. He clenched his fist, then lowered his head and quickly signed his name, then left the meeting room without looking back.
