The Friday that everyone in Dong Jia Electronics was looking forward to finally came. Today, the new shareholder who bought over their company would meet with everyone in the management team in a meeting.
All of the workers were excited and curious.
During these few days of waiting, the workers at Dong Jia Electronics had spread so many rumors of the alleged new shareholder.
Some said that he was a foreign tycoon.
Others said that he was a rich businessman from Chongqing.
Some even said that the new shareholder was the son of a rich tycoon from Beijing that came to Chongqing just to buy their company over to train himself.
Of course, most of the rumors were spread by the female workers.
Especially the ones who were always immersed in their fantasies and daydreams.
What kind of person was the new shareholder?
No one in the entire company knew except for Xia Jun and his secretary.
An hour before the management meeting, Fan Ming spent a lot of effort to make himself look presentable. He looked energetic and could probably pass off as a young adult that was approaching his thirties.
To prevent Lin Yijun from possibly overtaking him and to get rid of Lu Chen in front of Xia Jun, Fan Ming must build a good impression on the new shareholder.
He must be able to get the new shareholder's approval and get him on his side.
"Supervisor Lin, it is almost time now. The new shareholder is possibly reaching too. Let's go." Fan Ming looked
over at Lin Yijun who was standing nearby, a hint of taunt flashed across his face.
"Alright." Lin Yijun nodded. She kept the proposal that she made for the Saddle Hill Dragon Lakeview Mansion Project and headed to the meeting room along with Fan Ming.
She was curious about the new shareholder too.
Right when the both of them left the office, they spotted Lu Chen coming out from the elevator leisurely.
Lin Yijun had believed that Lu Chen was still the company's security guard when she saw him showing up again.
However, with her promotion as well as the meeting that was starting soon, she didn't have the time to acknowledge Lu Chen. So, she gave him a look and walked past him.
However, Fan Ming purposefully lagged behind.
He was still not over what Lu Chen did to him at the hospital previously, as well as the humiliation Lu Chen caused him when Xia Jun forced him to apologise to Lu Chen in front of everyone. However, there was a high probability that he would be able to exact his revenge after today.
"Do you need anything?" Lu Chen asked while raising his eyebrows when he noticed that Fan Ming was still standing in his way.
"You loser, stop acting cool in front of me!" Fan Ming fumed.
Lu Chen shrugged. He knew why Fan Ming was blocking his path. However, he couldn't possibly take someone so insignificant like Fan Ming as his opponent. So, naturally, he didn't pay much attention to him.
"Do you know what is going to happen today?" Fan Ming chuckled coldly as he stared at Lu Chen.
"What is going to happen today?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
"Today is the day the new shareholder will take over the company. With the new shareholder coming, it means that Xia Jun will not be the company's executive manager anymore. Without Xia Jun's protection, I really want to know who else can back you up here anymore," Fan Ming explained.
"Oh, so what?" Lu Chen looked at Fan Ming tauntingly. He didn't expect Fan Ming to come up with absurd ideas like this.
"Then, of course, it's time for me to get my revenge! Do you honestly think that someone like you deserves a public apology from me? Especially trash like you. Since you accepted my apology. you should accept my revenge later on, too," Fan Ming snarled.
Lu Chen looked at Fan Ming as if he was stupid. Then, he reached out to remove Fan Ming's grasp on him and casually left.
"You loser! Even if Xia Jun could still protect you now, I'll get rid of you after get the new shareholder on my side!" Fan Ming seethed in anger. He couldn't stand Lu Cher's arrogant attitude.
Lu Chen tensed up when he heard what Fan Ming said and turned around to face him.
Then, he broke out into laughter.
He felt like this was the funniest joke
that he had ever heard.
Fan Ming actually wanted to use the
new shareholder against him? He didn't
know what to say about it.
"Oh, well, good luck in getting the new
shareholder on your side," Lu Chen replied and smiled a little.
"Lu Chen, since you're back at the
company, why don't you check in at the security department?" the head of the security team, Yu Hai, demanded when he saw Lu Chen.
Although Lu Chen had bought over 70% of the company's share, he had not transferred from his position as security guard yet, so his name was still under the security department.
It wasn't that he was dedicated to his security job; it was just that he didn't have much time to care about this matter.
"What, you want to fire me again?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and
questioned
"You brat, stop being sassy! I will bring this up to the new shareholder later on in the management meeting." Yu Hai threatened Lu Chen and snorted.
"Alright, I will give you a chance." Lu Chen pretended to be serious and answered.
"Hmph! We shall see later." Yu Hal's facial expression was grim. It was obvious that he didn't understand what Lu Chen meant as he headed to the meeting room along with Fan Ming who was pissed off.
"Director Fan, do you think General
Manager Xia will get back at us later for mentioning Lu Chen's actions of ignoring the company's rule in front of the new shareholder? It would be just like humiliating him in front of the new shareholder," Yu Hai hesitated. He was worried.
Although Xia Jun's power over the company was reduced, he was still one of the shareholders of the company and shouldn't be looked down upon.
"Nah, he will stand by our side to try to clear himself of any relationship with Lu Chen, Fan Ming shook his head and reassured him.
Fan Ming's words made Yu Hai feel at ease. Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, it seems like Xia Jun was investigating the people who spread rumors regarding him and Lin Yijun yesterday. If he found out that it was us who started the rumors, do you think that he would
fire us?"
Fan Ming's eyebrows knitted together when he heard what Yu Hai said. What they spread were just rumors based solely on their guesses without any proof. If Xia Jun were to charge them over defamation, it would be over for them.
"This is a complicated situation. Alright, just try to find evidence that they are having an affair while I try to get the new shareholder on our side. By then, if Xia Jun really found out that it was us, with the amount of customers I got for the company, the new shareholder
wouldn't possibly let go of me. As long as I am still standing in this position, I will protect you," Fan Ming explained confidently.
Yu Hai nodded although he still felt unsure. He didn't expect his joke to cause a situation like this.
By the time the both of them reached the meeting room, most of the members of the management team were almost there.
Twenty minutes before the meeting, all of them were guessing the identity of the alleged new shareholder while they awaited his arrival.
Seated at their seats, both Fan Ming and Yu Hai were full of anticipation too.
"Director Fan, do you know who the new shareholder is?" one of the female managers seated next to Fan Ming asked.
"The new shareholder must be someone from a large company or a rich tycoon from one of the larger enterprises," another manager interrupted before Fan Ming could
answer.
"I'm not asking you. You're not eligible to know more about the inner news of the company the female manager refuted mercilessly.
The manager didn't bother much and smiled, looking at Fan Ming with similar faces of anticipation.
Although Fan Ming's position in the company was similar to the managers from other departments, he was much more closer to and valued by Xia Jun due to the amount of client resources in his hands.
Hence, most of the managers thought that he might have gotten word of some inside information about it.
"The new shareholder? You'll know later," Fan Ming pretended to be mysterious and answered.
The female manager rolled her eyes while the male manager looked at him disdainfully
He was sure that Fan Ming did not know the exact situation too because there wasn't any need to hide his identity as he was reaching in ten minutes.
"I heard that the new shareholder bought over 70% of the company. It looks like General Manager Xia will have
to hand over his chairman seat today" the female manager gossiped.
"Wasn't that fact obvious enough?! If he didn't want to be the new chairman, why would he hold a management meeting?" the male manager laughed.
"Chen Jun, are you bickering with me on purpose?" The female manager glared at the male manager. She was pissed off.
"Hey, it's not my fault that everything you've said had loopholes. You can't blame me for bickering with you." The manager named Chen Jun chuckled.
"Just be quiet. Can you imagine how the new shareholder will think when he sees you guys? Can you imagine how the new shareholder will think of us when he sees that the management team looks so frivolous? Fan Ming accused and frowned.
Wanting to make himself presentable in front of the new shareholder, he was annoyed by his colleagues' antiques.
Although they were dissatisfied by Fan Ming's action, they kept quiet as their position in the company was not as high as his.
Then, everyone continued sitting in silence while they awaited the arrival of
the new shareholder.
"He's here, he's here!" one of the
managers who sat near the entrance informed.
Everyone looked toward the entrance of the meeting room when they heard him and saw Xia Jun walking over with a young man.
