"Mr. Ye has arrived, please come over and take a seat!"
Hong Zhenguo smiled as he walked over and pushed Ye Feng's wheelchair to the seat of honor.
Upon seeing this, the Hong Family younger generation all revealed eyes filled with contempt and resentment. Their own Old Master Hong was becoming more and more outrageous.
If before, this disabled person had been tolerated because he was a son-in-law of the Hong Family, but now, this waste had killed someone and offended several of the prominent families in Jiangdu, essentially facing a dead end.
They couldn't understand why Old Master Hong was still so concerned about this disabled son-in-law.
Ye Feng said, "I'm a bit tired, if there's anything to discuss, just say it. Let's conclude the meeting as quickly as possible."
Hong Wei couldn't hold back any longer and, slamming the table as he stood up, roared, "What are you, at best you're just a son-in-law, and moreover, a disabled one at that! What right do you have to command Grandfather?"
Ye Feng turned his head to look at him, "Remember, I've already given you one chance."
Hong Zhenguo's expression changed, and pointing at Hong Wei, he scolded, "You imbecile, you still dare to be insolent!"
"Someone, break this young punk's leg and confine him for half a year!"
With a wave of his great hand, Hong Zhenguo immediately had two imposing bodyguards move forward.
Hong Tianming leaped to his feet, questioning, "Father, what are you doing? Breaking Wei's leg, have you gone mad?"
Zhang Yuman also said, "Who dares!"
"I dare. You all want my stance on this, well, this is my stance. Why are you still standing there, drag this fool out, break his left leg, and apologize to Mr. Ye!"
Hong Zhenguo stood in the hall like a spear, his presence chilly and commanding, and the two bodyguards immediately went over and hoisted Hong Wei up to take him outside.
"Old fool, have you become even more deranged? Hong Wei is your grandson, your only grandson, and yet you want to break his leg?"
Enraged, Zhang Yuman bellowed, "Today, anyone who dares to touch my son, I will fight them to the death!"
"Father, aren't you taking things a bit too far? Breaking my son's leg, to apologize to this son-in-law, this useless son-in-law, does he deserve such a big face?" Hong Tianming walked to the center of the hall.
"Shut your mouth, you fool, look what your son has turned into because of how you've spoiled him over the years."
Unable to suppress his anger, Hong Zhenguo pointed at the two of them and castigated, "Today, not only am I going to disable one of his legs, I will also punish the two of you, or else the Hong Family will eventually fall due to your actions!"
"Starting tomorrow, you Hong Tianming shall no longer be the Acting CEO of the group, and you, Zhang Yuman, will be removed from your position as Finance Director of the group. Reflect well at home!"
The moment Zhang Yuman heard this, her face immediately turned pale.
Hongtian Group is a family enterprise, with Old Master Hong owning the majority of shares. As Chairman of the Group, he has absolute authority on the board.
At this, even Hong Yuting didn't dare to speak up.
Throughout the whole affair, Ye Feng simply sat there, his expression incredibly calm. As a once Northern Border Sovereign, such minor family affairs were completely trivial to him.
Hong Tianguo spoke up, "Big brother, this cannot be done. If you dismiss Tianming from the Acting CEO position, who will manage the group in the future?"
At this moment, the Group's General Manager Shen Minghua, who had been standing behind Hong Zhenguo, brightened up, even feeling a surge of excitement within him.
"Regarding the position of Acting CEO for the group, I already have a new candidate in mind!" said Hong Zhenguo.
"Who is it? Could it be General Manager Shen Minghua? But after all, he is an outsider…" Hong Tianguo began, but suddenly stopped, realizing that Shen Minghua was also present.
Shen Minghua's heart had risen to his throat. He initially wanted to come forward and humbly say a few words, but thinking the situation might not be right, he halted.
Hong Zhenguo spoke sternly, "For the new interim CEO, let Qingyan take over. Hong Tianming, you will replace the position as Chief Financial Officer, and if you don't perform well, don't blame me for being heartless!"
Zhang Yuman scoffed coldly, "A greenhorn girl, a foundling wild child, to let her be the acting CEO, does she have the capability, can she hold down the board of directors?"
At this time, Hong Qingyan had no choice but to speak up, "Grandfather, they are right, not to mention that you picked me up, I also have no qualifications, I can't be the CEO."
Hong Tianguo said harshly, "Even if we were to choose from among the grandchildren, Yu Ting would be the most suitable."
Shen Minghua, who stood behind them, saw his initially elated expression slowly fade away, and then a ferocity gradually emerged in the depths of his eyes.
Of course, no one noticed him at the time, but Ye Feng's discerning eye did not miss it.
Hong Zhenguo raised his sword-like brows and said coldly, "Don't forget that these old bones of mine are not dead yet. With my assistance from behind the scenes, I believe she will be fully competent in a few years!"
Zhang Manyu and others stopped talking. They were nearly losing control; the Old Man of the house seemed to have gone mad to the skies.
Throughout this period, Tang Feng simply watched with cold eyes, and of course, he was very clear that Old Hong was doing this entirely to bind Hong Qingyan and his dominion, the Northern Border Sovereign, together.
It must be said that Hong Zhenguo was a man of deep schemes and tactics. Ostensibly, he was suppressing Hong Tianming and others, but in fact, Hong Qingyan was now his almost betrothed.
If Hong Qingyan really became CEO, then even being associated with the Northern Border King would elevate their status; once his own identity was made public, it would certainly be the moment for the Hong Family to soar.
But for now, Hong Zhenguo would never dare reveal his identity, at least not without Ye Feng's permission.
What a pity that these good-for-nothing members of the Hong Family simply did not understand the painstaking efforts of their Master Hong.
Members of the Hong Family thought that this son-in-law was useless, a good-for-nothing to be scorned and derided every day, but little did they know, they were dealing with a King!
At this time, Hong Wei had been carried out by two bodyguards. A miserable scream came from outside the yard; it seemed Hong Wei's leg had indeed been broken.
As to whether it was true or not, no one knew.
In any case, Hong Zhenguo knew very well that today, if he did not give a satisfactory account to Ye Feng, if he did not properly punish this fool, and if in the future he offended Mr. Ye, or even committed murder, then the Hong Family would really be finished.
"Today's agenda is over, the meeting is adjourned. Don't think I'm joking again. Tomorrow, Qingyan, you'll follow me to the group's board meeting, where I will announce it on the spot!"
Hong Zhenguo waved his hand grandly and then nobody left, everyone still seated in their chairs.
They were waiting, waiting for the Chu Family and several other wealthy clans from Jiangdu to arrive.
If there was still hope in the hearts of Hong Tianming, Zhang Yuman, and others, it would be for the Chu Family.
Once the people from the Chu Family arrived and took this worthless son-in-law away, then the worthless son-in-law would undoubtedly be dead, and the agenda just now would become a joke!
Everyone was waiting to see the joke unfold, waiting for the Chu Family!
Finally, the people from the Chu Family arrived, and not a few, but a convoy of more than a dozen cars that lit up the entrance of the Hong Family.
"Ye Feng, come out right now!"
"Hong Zhenguo, do you understand what you are doing? You are harboring a criminal."
"Did you members of the Hong Family hear? Hand over that cripple son-in-law to me immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Yuting and others finally showed a smile on their faces.
Old Master Hong also smiled, he was very clear in his heart, today these so-called powerful families of Jiangdu, the more arrogant they were, the worse their end would be!
