Pengzhan spoke up just when Gubang was trying to understand the situation. “Alright everyone, settle down- let’s start the emergency shareholder meeting!”
“Chairman Chu- doesn’t this go against policy? The third shareholder Mister Xie Guangbo isn’t present!” Gubang countered directly. “He should have a representative at this meeting even if he’s unwell! I suspect that you’re excluding Mister Xie on purpose!”
As rash and impatient as Gubang was making himself look, there wasn’t much of a choice left for him- he had to break with Pengzhan right here and now before things started to spiral out of his control.
“Haha, please calm down, Mister Jin- I’m hosting this meeting precisely to discuss some matters regarding Xie Guangbo.” Pengzhan responded calmly with a nod towards Gubang.
The ineffectiveness of Gubang’s move hit him hard- he’d planned to dwell on Guangbo’s absence and hinder the meeting from beginning as Pengzhan avoided his question!
