Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the conference room, Zhang Sheng, Wu Moli, Huo Guoqiang, Zhang Tianhe, and several other executives were all present.

Zhang Sheng sat there, expressionless.

Wu Moli, however, could no longer sit still, and whispered in Zhang Sheng's ear:

"Why hasn't Wang Erhai arrived yet? Could it be he's standing us up?"

Zhang Sheng, however, calmly denied it:

"He won't. If Wang Erhai doesn't come, there can only be one reason."

"What reason?" Wu Moli hurriedly pressed.

Zhang Sheng did not answer directly, but said one sentence:

"Haven't you noticed? Huo Zhihui hasn't come either."

At these words, Wu Moli's heart gave a jolt.

Inwardly, she had a dark premonition.

If Huo Zhihui went and controlled Wang Erhai, then all their previous preparations would likely come to nothing!

Looking again at Huo Guoqiang, at this moment his face wore a smile, even looking rather pleased with himself.

"I see the time is about right, and the people have all arrived. This shareholders' meeting can begin."

Huo Guoqiang spoke thus.

The assembled executives had no objections to this.

Wu Moli, however, said:

"General Manager Huo, what's the rush? Your nephew hasn't arrived yet, has he? He's a very important member of our Liguo Mountain. This shareholders' meeting absolutely cannot leave him out."

Zhang Sheng to the side, hearing Wu Moli say this, slowly nodded, his face showing satisfaction.

He knew Wu Moli was a clever woman.

See, she found an excuse to delay time, and found such a beautiful one at that.

However, Huo Guoqiang said:

"Forgot to tell you all. Zhi Hui ate something bad last night, vomiting and diarrhea. He's still very unwell today, so he won't be attending this shareholders' meeting."

Wu Moli then said:

"General Manager Huo, why not postpone the shareholders' meeting by a day? Without Young General Manager Huo it won't do. After all, Liguo Mountain's future development still relies on you and Young General Manager Huo!" Finishing, she looked at the assembled executives: "Everyone, am I right?"

Although these executives mostly didn't take Huo Zhihui seriously, right now in this conference room they still had to give Wu Moli and Huo Guoqiang face.

So they hurriedly echoed insincerely and politely:

"Right, right. Why not postpone a day?"

"I also think postponing a day is good. Better wait until everyone's here before holding the meeting!"

The smile on Huo Guoqiang's face slowly pressed down.

He swept a glance over the crowd, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Just then, Zhang Tianhe spoke up:

"We agreed to hold the shareholders' meeting today, so we hold it today. Changing the date temporarily — what would that look like? Our Liguo Mountain is going to be listed! A shareholders' meeting cannot be such child's play! Besides, my schedule is already packed. I have to return to the city tomorrow. Huo Zhihui not coming doesn't matter much. Isn't General Manager Huo right here? Even if Huo Zhihui came, he'd still have to listen to General Manager Huo!"

When Zhang Tianhe spoke these words, he was righteous and confident.

Hearing this, Huo Guoqiang looked at Zhang Tianhe with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

A smile floated up on his face:

"General Manager Zhang is right. Since we agreed on nine o'clock this morning for the meeting, it's nine o'clock this morning. Never mind my nephew not coming — even if I didn't come, this meeting would still proceed as normal. General Manager Zhang, you'd say that's the principle, wouldn't you?"

Huo Guoqiang smiled at Zhang Sheng, tossing the difficult question to him.

Zhang Sheng remained expressionless, calm and unruffled.

But Huo Guoqiang knew that right now Zhang Sheng's heart was probably going crazy with anxiety.

Zhang Sheng thought he had everything under control, but never expected that, just short of the final step, it would turn out to be a bamboo basket drawing water — all for nothing!

At the very least, today's shareholders' meeting — he could not possibly get what he wanted!

Want to pull me, Huo Guoqiang, down from my position? Hmph, not that easy!

I, Huo Guoqiang, have struggled in the business world for many years. What ox-demons and snake-spirits haven't I seen? What monsters and demons haven't I fought?

Zhang Sheng wants to squeeze me out of Liguo Mountain — not that easy!

"Fine then. This shareholders' meeting starts right now!"

With no choice, Zhang Sheng could only announce the meeting open.

But he also said quietly to Wu Moli:

"Send a message to Wang Erhai. See if you can reach him."

Wu Moli nodded.

Then she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Wang Erhai:

"President Wang, have you arrived? Or has something unexpected happened?"

Before long, Wang Erhai replied to her.

"On the road. About ten minutes to arrival."

Receiving this message, Wu Moli immediately showed a look of relief.

"Wang Erhai said he's on the road."

Zhang Sheng nodded, his expressionless face finally revealing a hint of a smile.

"General Manager Zhang, didn't you say there was something important to announce at today's shareholders' meeting!"

Huo Guoqiang asked Zhang Sheng this question at this moment.

He wanted to take the initiative to throw out the issue, resolve it quickly, and avoid complications.

Zhang Sheng said:

"I do have an important matter to announce. Given that Liguo Mountain is now in a development strategy phase, I personally believe that General Manager Huo is no longer suitable to be our company's primary decision-maker. I propose dismissing Huo Guoqiang from the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. Who agrees, who opposes?"

As soon as Zhang Sheng's words came out, they immediately caused an uproar in the conference room.

Even Huo Guoqiang revealed a trace of surprise.

Clearly Wang Erhai hasn't even arrived yet.

How can Zhang Sheng so righteously put forward this proposal?

Who gave him the courage?

"I agree!"

Wu Moli was the first to stand up and declare her stance.

Some executives below also expressed their stance one after another, agreeing with Zhang Sheng's proposal.

But some executives remained unmoved like a mountain.

Zhang Tianhe then said coldly:

"I oppose. Isn't this making trouble! Liguo Mountain was built up single-handedly by General Manager Huo. What qualifications do you, Zhang Sheng, have to dismiss General Manager Huo?"

Zhang Sheng smiled and said:

"I don't have the qualifications either. It's not up to me to decide, but up to everyone to decide."

However, Huo Guoqiang said:

"It's not up to everyone either, right? At least the majority of people here actually don't have this power. Only those who own shares have this power."

Zhang Tianhe then said:

"Those present who own shares are just me, General Manager Huo, and you and Wu Moli. Then let the four of us vote. I'll state my position first: I oppose dismissing General Manager Huo's position!"

Huo Guoqiang righteously said: "I also oppose. General Manager Zhang and I together hold a total of 48% equity. Zhang Sheng, unless you have over half the equity, otherwise it's impossible for you to dismiss me."

Zhang Sheng smiled:

"If you add Wang Erhai's 4% equity, wouldn't that be just enough?"

Huo Guoqiang also smiled:

"The premise is you have to get Wang Erhai here. According to company regulations, he must be present to participate in decision-making."

Zhang Sheng said:

"Who told you Wang Erhai won't come?"

Huo Guoqiang was stunned:

"What do you mean by that?"

And right at this moment, Huo Guoqiang's mobile phone rang.

He took it out to look, it was Huo Zhihui calling.

So he hurriedly answered:

"Hello, what's wrong?"

From the other end of the phone came Huo Zhihui's slightly trembling voice:

"Second Uncle, I messed up. Wang Erhai got away."

Huo Guoqiang's eyes immediately trembled, extremely shocked:

"What?!!"
