Chapter 43: Ya Li Helps Me

Da Jun came over,

He grabbed my hand in one swift motion,

"Dad, just sign. I'm your son, Third Uncle is your younger brother; if you don't trust us, who will you trust?"

"Oh, my dad's hand is messed up, I hold the pen to sign."

Da Jun firmly held my hand and placed the pen in it,

My whole body trembled; I was so angry I could barely stand.

I didn't know where my anger should be released from.

I tried to break free, but their hands were stronger than mine.

The wound on my leg throbbed intensely,

Xiao Hua, my younger brother, was beside me, smoking and watching me.

Da Jun, my adopted son, was holding my hand, signing on the paper.

A farce was just beginning.

I was powerless to struggle, and no one came to help me.

I didn't know where Shi Yong or Shi Jinhe were. It would be good if they were by my side.

Unfortunately, they didn't come.

At that moment, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Ya Li entered with her assistant,

seeing me being forcefully pressed onto the wheelchair by Da Jun to sign.

Ya Li shouted loudly, "Let go! What are you doing, Xiao Zhang? Call the police!"

Xiao Hua hurried over and said to Ya Li, "Kang Yali, no need to call the police. Da Jun, let go of your father's hand."

Da Jun had to release my hand.

The others also stepped away from the wheelchair.

I gasped heavily and straightened up from the wheelchair.

Ya Li looked at me,

"Chairman Zhao, what's wrong?"

I took a long breath and said, "Kang Yali, I'm not dead yet."

Director Feng laughed and ran up to Ya Li,

"Kang Yali, we're here to persuade the chairman to return to the hospital to rest. He has a leg injury and hasn't recovered; I'm really worried about his health.

So we asked Da Jun and Qi to help push the chairman back to the hospital."

At this point, Da Jun said, "Kang Yali, I'm sending dad back to the hospital to rest."

"What are you having Chairman Zhao sign?" Ya Li asked.

"Meeting minutes," Director Feng said, then pulled another sheet of paper from his pocket.

Ya Li glanced at it,

but ignored Director Feng,

Ya Li walked over to Xiao Hua's side,

to Xiao Hua she said, "Chairman Zhao, I am Southern Group's representative. Your Da Heng Group is now the debtor. When we signed the contract, I made it clear,

I have the right to intervene in company management.

Seeing your current chaotic management, I have the right to propose rectification to you.

Moreover, Chairman Zhao is the signatory,

He is the company's chairman, and we have the right to protect his safety.

If your company cannot guarantee Chairman Zhao's safety, then I will propose that Southern Group send more people to specifically protect Chairman Zhao.

Because Chairman Zhao's safety directly bears the security of the debt."

When Xiao Hua heard Kang Yali say that,

he laughed, "Kang Yali, don't misunderstand. We also have the ability to protect our chairman's safety. Rest assured, we're just urging the chairman to return to the hospital to rest, not wanting him overworked.

Brother, am I right?"

Xiao Hua deliberately said to me.

My mood calmed considerably at that moment.

I neither nodded nor shook my head.

I said to Ya Li, "Kang Yali, if I, this chairman, resign, what will happen?"

Ya Li replied, "Chairman Zhao, this is your unilateral breach. The contract is written clearly. If you no longer serve as Da Heng Group's chairman, then Southern Group has the right to file a lawsuit, citing protection of debt security, to enter your company early and reorganize it.

All of you could be laid off."

After Ya Li finished, the room fell silent.

No one wants to be laid off.

Xiao Hua continued laughing, "Kang Yali, no one will force my brother to resign unless he himself doesn't want to.

Brother, since Kang Yali is here, let's continue the meeting."

After speaking, Xiao Hua pushed my wheelchair back into the conference room.

I felt Xiao Hua's acting talent was truly powerful, as if the previous scene hadn't happened at all.

He pushed me to the center of the conference room.

Xiao Hua then said to the big guy, "Everyone be quiet. Earlier everyone meant well to have the chairman return to the hospital to rest. But the chairman, for the company's future, is willing...

Now let's continue the meeting,"

Still, please let our chairman speak. Everyone applauded.

Xiao Hua finished speaking and led the applause.

Others also followed suit and applauded.

Ya Li looked at me and said, "Chairman Zhao, let's start the meeting; I will record the whole thing."

These days you've been in the hospital, and the company has been very concerned about you.

Your company has many problems; Chairman Zhao, please face the problems squarely and dare to confront them.

After Ya Li finished speaking,

I coldly glanced at the people around me,

They looked at me like a bunch of monsters.

Only Ya Li spoke up for me at the scene, and she is from an outside company.

The rest of the people are Xiao Hua's people.

They had already bared their fangs just now, almost eating me.

My own strength is too weak.

I looked at the meeting room clock; Shi Yong said he'd arrive in an hour, but now it's almost two hours and they still haven't come.

How can this meeting proceed, and what should I say?

I myself pushed the wheelchair hard, leaning toward the meeting table.

Da Jun, like a well-behaved child, again took out a cigarette for me,

"Dad, you smoke; actually everyone is doing it for your own good, mainly not wanting you to be too tired."

Da Jun whispered in my ear.

I glanced at Da Jun, for my own good.

If it were truly for my own good, such a situation would not have happened just now.

I took a puff of a cigarette,

Today I must say a few words.

I again scanned these people with my eyes,

Then I said, "Everyone is doing it for my own good, and I can feel it. I hope Zhao Jianqiang won't be too overworked, won't worry too much about the company. During these days I've been away from the company, its management has been very good."

Everyone has worked hard.

Today's meeting is to commend everyone's work efforts,

Everyone has worked hard,

I, Zhao Jianqiang, am very grateful,

If the company has problems, they are only minor problems,

For example, the company's environmental hygiene is somewhat lacking,

This we can gradually improve.

There's nothing else.

Let's end the meeting here today.

"Ending, Chairman Zhao, I think you haven't brought up the company's problems. I think the meeting should continue." Ya Li said from the side.

"Brother, don't have reservations, speak boldly. If we really have any mistakes, point them out and we will thoroughly correct them." Xiao Hua also said.

Others also said together, "Chairman, if you have anything to say, just say it straight; we are all willing to listen."

Looking at their sincere faces,

I almost laughed out loud.

They acted really well.

I clapped hard.

Seeing me clap,

Ya Li was puzzled,

"Chairman Zhao, everyone listens to you; if you have something to say, just say it."

I shook my head,

"Nothing more to say; anyway, the company's situation isn't great now. If we don't work hard, the company will be acquired by Southern Group."

After Southern Group acquires our company,

At that time you will all be laid off and unemployed.

My words are done.

I hope everyone understands. Let's adjourn, sorry for disturbing everyone's rest.

After I finished speaking, I myself pushed the wheelchair out of the meeting room.

Da Jun ran over wanting to push me.

I directly said, "No need to push; I still want to live two more years."
