Chapter 285: Impeachment
Huang Zhengming definitely does not want to give up his position as Chairman; when he was young, he lived a hard life. Through his own efforts, after great difficulty his situation improved, and only then did he achieve today's success.
He watched with his own eyes how bitter his life had been over these years, and it took great effort to achieve what he has now.
Facing the major shareholders.
He pretended to stay calm, remaining unflustered in danger, his gaze steady as he looked at the other party.
"Regarding recent events, I think I can make it clear in front of all the directors. I need you to give me some time to state it." Huang Zhengming also realized he had been too arrogant lately; he guessed it was because of his arrogance that Jiang Cheng had already sent detectives to monitor his actions.
His actions had actually been exposed to the public long ago, but he was too arrogant and conceited, always thinking that Jiang Cheng's meager ability could never be a match for him.
As it turns out, the young people nowadays are not as weak as they imagine.
It's because he became overconfident and careless.
"To deal with one Jiang Cheng, are you preparing to destroy the whole company?"
"I remember you used to be smart; when did you start getting stupider? Just to deal with him, you've run the company into the ground—if we don't stop you, are you planning to let the company be ruined here?"
"Just recently you lost a few hundred million, and only with difficulty had the revenue begun to recover—but under your efforts, it's been messed up again into a foul mess."
"You bastard… how should I describe you, how should I condemn the things you've done?"
The several shareholders, their feelings complex, stood up and pointed angrily at Huang Zhengming.
They had started the business together with Huang Zhengming.
In those years, they lived a hard life.
They often went from one meal to the next, not knowing where the next would come from.
Among them was a brother who, because he often went hungry, eventually lost his life.
Do you really forget all of this?
He has forgotten his original intention, only doing all kinds of messy things!
All that showed in their eyes was disappointment.
Under their gaze, Huang Zhengming lowered his head, overcome with guilt. He deeply realized his problems and clearly saw that he had done everything wrong.
"Sorry, you're absolutely right—I really have been… a bit out of line!"
"Here, I'll first apologize to you; only after the problems appeared did I realize the situation was bad, and only then did I grasp how awful it was."
"Otherwise, won't you give me another chance and not impeach me? If I properly handle all aspects of the company, would that work?"
Overnight, Huang Zhengming fell from the pedestal into the mire.
He pleaded in a humble tone with the people before him, hoping they would give him a chance to reform, and he wanted to speak with them properly.
However——
Everyone's look at him was disappointment!
A group of people shook their heads slightly.
They had already given him a chance last time, but he doesn't know how to cherish it!
Giving him another chance now—isn't that just letting them dig their own graves?
Old tricks repeated, a comeback attempt.
These eight characters kept turning over in their minds.
After thinking for a long time, they ultimately refused.
"I understand what you mean, but we don't want to give you another chance. We've given you many opportunities, yet you truly don't know how to cherish them."
"As of today, this situation is entirely of your own making; now you come to blame us and beg for a chance—how do you expect us to give you one?"
They very much wanted to give the other party a chance, but judging by his performance, maybe this so‑called chance is better not given!
If they foolishly give him a chance and he suddenly gets angry and goes to settle scores with Jiang Cheng, what would they do?
All recent events are fresh in their memory; they don't want to go through it again.
Several shareholders also discussed it privately for a while, thinking of giving Huang Zhengming a chance, but in the end no miracle occurred.
He still acted recklessly.
They said: "Alright, let's just leave it at that." "In short, we've all seen your recent performance; we don't want to give you any more chances, and we don't want you to keep acting recklessly."
"For the company's future healthy development, you too should stop holding any hope for this matter."
They aren't fools.
Everyone can clearly see Huang Zhengming's performance.
As the saying goes, good fortune doesn't come three times.
If he comes again, it will be the third time!
In the two previous attempts, one lost a few hundred million, the other lost several tens of millions.
Their company's stock is still plummeting wildly.
To preserve the last bit of value in their company, they shouldn't let him continue as Chairman—he's just being reckless.
Huang Zhengming's pupils shook.
He didn't expect these people to all reject him.
He was afraid.
!
He was unwilling to accept it.
"Give me a chance—is it really that hard?"
"Give me a bit more time, and I believe Jiang Cheng will soon be defeated. By then he'll only be our defeated subordinate, and then—we could actually wipe them out in one go!"
"Opportunities don't come often—why do you still refuse?"
"Please, can you do it?"
"Give me a chance."
As the Chairman, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and speak nicely to them.
No one was willing to give him a chance.
At the scene, not a single person gave him a pleasant look.
"What's the use of saying that now?" a man slammed the table, jumped up angrily, and said, "What have you been up to lately? Don't you remember?"
"You now know to apologize here, but what good is an apology? Can you turn the situation around? Can you make our company rake in hundreds of millions in profit in such a short time?"
"We've already helped you bear a lot of trouble, but you insist on being stupid, meddling in nonsense—now who else can we blame?"
"These are all of your own making—what do you have to complain about?"
"You really deserve it!"
"Serves you right!"
"You… I don't even know what to say. I've never seen someone as stubborn and even foolish as you."
The man had always been his good friend in the past.
But something that happened a month ago has been weighing on his mind.
But after thinking it over, he realized that anyone can make a mistake, and since they'd known each other for so many years, Huang Zhengming surely hadn't done it on purpose.
He thought about giving his good friend a chance, thinking, don't make things too difficult for him!
But—
This guy just has to cause trouble!
In the end, after losing several hundred million, he then pulled this stunt.
Who could forgive him for that?
Even if he had the best temper, he couldn't stand this kind of torment! (end of chapter)
