C9 Board Meetings
When Li Haotian and Wang Wanqing walked out of the building together, the security guards were surprised, but they also had some expectations. This was because their security chief had met with one of the outcomes beforehand, and it was Li Haotian and Wang Wanqing getting along well. Although they didn't understand the exact relationship between the two, they at least thought of them as friends. Otherwise, Li Haotian wouldn't be qualified to enter Wang's office, much less make Wang angry.
The relationship between Li Haotian and Wang Wanqing was not someone that could be cared for in their plane of existence. However, they continued to look at the back of the two with dubious gazes.
Li Haotian was driving beside the car. Wang Wanqing was a bit surprised as she commented, "I didn't expect your driving skills to be so good."
"I'm just using part of my skills. If I use them all, I'm afraid you'll admire me." Li Haotian smiled as he looked at Wang Wanqing, who was sitting on the passenger seat.
Wang Wanqing smiled from the bottom of her heart. From the very beginning, she hated Li Haotian from the bottom of her heart. Gradually, he was infected by his humorous tone and optimistic attitude. Even if he became her "Qingqing", he would not refute her.
"There's a western restaurant here. Stop for a moment." Wang Wanqing suddenly said.
"Forget it, we won't eat western cuisine. Let's go have some snacks!" Li Haotian didn't slow down and drove straight ahead.
"I'm the one treating, why are you saving money for me?" Wang Wan Qing shook her head in confusion.
"How about this, you treat me to a big meal after everything is settled." On Li Haotian's harmless face, there wasn't a smug expression.
"Mm, that's up to you." Wang Wanqing came from a wealthy family. To be honest, she hadn't eaten many snacks. However, when she heard Li Haotian say that he was going for snacks, she was filled with anticipation.
When Li Haotian parked his car in front of a roadside stall, Wang Wanqing's face was filled with fear.
"Eating food at roadside stalls is very unhygienic."
"Cut the crap, I only eat the taste. I don't care if it's hygienic or not. This is also a habit of many Chinese. " After saying that, Li Haotian stepped out of the car.
Seeing that Wang Wanqing was unwilling to get off the car, he forcefully pulled her out of the car.
The boss of the noodle store and the customers were both surprised to see a man and woman driving such high-end cars to such a roadside stall.
Li Haotian walked up to the noodle store owner, took off his sunglasses, and asked, "Uncle, do you still remember me?"
The noodle store owner thought for a while and suddenly realized something. "Oh, I remember, didn't you come here to eat a lot in the past?" When his gaze landed on Wang Wanqing's face, he had a few questions. "But I remember that the girl who came with you seemed to be someone else?" When he finished this sentence, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He thought that the young man in front of him might have changed girlfriends. His words might very well cause a conflict between this pair of youngsters.
"I'm sorry, lad, I may have been mistaken." He quickly corrected his mistake.
On the other hand, Li Haotian smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry uncle, you're right. The girl that used to come with me has now broken off all ties with me."
Although Li Haotian didn't seem to care about what he said, the boss and Wang Wanqing both saw the helplessness on his face.
Only Li Haotian himself understood that he still cared about this matter. Previously, he would often come here with Cheng Yueming, but Cheng Yueming had long disappeared without a trace. She had betrayed him. In his heart, she was the only family he had, and she was also the person he had always secretly fallen in love with. Although he hadn't confessed yet, she was clear on the inside. What he found most unbearable was not that she did not accept his love, but that she betrayed him. That made his heart feel as if it had been cut by knives. But he would never talk to anyone about it. He did not have the courage to open the scar.
"It's alright, young man. Your current girlfriend is even prettier than the previous one." The uncle laughed and comforted her.
"No, Uncle. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend." Wang Wanqing's face was completely red as she quickly explained.
"I think you two are pretty compatible." The sincere manner of the boss made Li Haotian and Wang Wanqing feel awkward.
"Thank you uncle, please give us three servings of soy noodles." Li Haotian said.
"But we only have two people!" Wang Wanqing looked around to make sure it was only the two of them.
"I'll have two for myself."
"What a pig's appetite." Wang Wanqing teased.
"Young man, you still have a good appetite." The boss praised.
In the meeting room of Huijia Building, all the major shareholders were present. Only Wang Wanqing, the chairman, was not present.
Wang Wanqing paced back and forth in the corridor. Her nervous mood was palpable.
"Hurry up and go in, I'll go with you, don't slap me!" Li Haotian encouraged from the side.
"I'm still a bit nervous. You don't know how serious that Uncle Zheng is. In front of him, I'm like a schoolboy who's been reprimanded. I don't even dare to breathe loudly."
"Then why are you afraid of him? Is it because of your inwardness? "
"He is the vice chairman and the second largest shareholder in the company. He was an elder who had started a business with my father and had a very high reputation in the company. He rarely came to the company, but his old employees became his trusted aides. I'm the CEO of the company on the surface, but he has the real power. "
"I understand. This old guy surnamed Zheng, he wants to be the emperor behind the scenes. Perhaps, he even has thoughts of replacing you." Don't worry, I'll deal with him. Go in! " Li Haotian urged.
With Li Haotian's encouragement, Wang Wanqing felt much more relaxed.
In the meeting room, a few major shareholders were getting impatient.
Among these people, Zheng Guishan undoubtedly became the core figure. The other middle-aged shareholders were happy to surround him. Of course, this did not include Yang Wenyuan, who was a young and sturdy sect, because sometimes he would speak up for Wang Wan Qing and disagree with them. However, he, the CEO, would only exude a light aura in front of the company's employees. The people behind all these companies didn't even buy anything from him, even though he was the third largest shareholder.
At this moment, Zheng Kuishan gradually lost his patience as his voice became louder and louder, "This Wan Qing girl is getting more and more unruly. She agreed to attend the meeting at two o'clock, but in the end, it's already been more than ten minutes."
"Uncle Zheng, Wan Qing might have been delayed by something. Let's wait a bit longer." Yang Wenyuan immediately tried to smooth things over on the side.
"Wen Yuan, Wan Qing just took over the company. As her cousin, you should have reminded her more, not condoned her." When Zheng Quishan talked about Wang, he didn't treat her as his chairman at all. Instead, he talked about her as if she was a junior who had made a mistake.
The other shareholders had seen all this, but they had long since grown accustomed to it. Even if Wang Wanqing was present, Zheng Guishan's tone would not have changed, and it might even have become worse. This must be the nature of Zheng Kuishan. He relied on himself to be an elder in the early days and always had a haughty and aloof attitude.
"Uncle Zheng is right." Yang Wenyuan nodded. He couldn't refute an old fox like Zheng Kui Shan because of that one sentence. He believed that he was still too inexperienced, and couldn't easily expose his own mistake.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late!" Wang Wanqing pushed open the door and lowered her head slightly. When everyone's eyes were focused on her, they also saw the young man behind her.
Yang Wenyuan stared unwaveringly at Li Haotian who walked over to Wang Wanqing's side. With a reproachful tone, he asked, "Wan Qing, this is a meeting of the board of directors, why did you bring him in?"
"Who is this?" Zheng Kui Mountain sized up Li Haotian. Although he was curious, at the same time, his face was warm and filled with anger.
"I'm Wang Wanqing's special assistant." Li Haotian introduced himself.
"Wan Qing, how can you have no rules? Get him out of here." The role of an assistant was insignificant in Zheng Kui Shan's eyes, and there was no need for him to have any interactions with him.
"This …" Although Wang Wanqing needed Li Haotian to cheer her on, she was troubled by the opinions of the directors. Especially the second and third largest shareholders, who clearly expressed their dissatisfaction.
Hearing that, Li Haotian smiled and walked towards the round table in the meeting room. Suddenly, his eyes turned serious.
"Old gentlemen, may I ask, who is the chairman? "Who's the CEO?"
"It's me!" Wang Wanqing answered in a low voice. The others didn't even bother to answer Li Haotian's question.
"Wang Wanqing, can you speak louder? Tell them who's the boss here." Li Haotian glanced at everyone. Although anger was in each of their eyes, they couldn't refute the truth.
Wang Wanqing understood that Li Haotian was trying to help him establish his dignity, and she was already used to being meek, so no matter what, she wouldn't be able to act arrogantly.
"Although you don't want to emphasize it, this is the truth. Regardless of age or seniority, you are the boss. As the number one person in the company, you have the right to teach others a lesson." "Li Hao retreated to the side and pointed to the seat at the front." Is this your seat? "
"Do you have the right to speak here?" Yang Wenyuan slammed the table and stood up.
"Do you? It depends on Wang Wanqing's attitude. Are you the boss, or is she the boss?" Li Haotian looked at Yang Wenyuan provocatively.
Wang Wan Qing nodded and sat on it. At this moment, she could clearly see the anger of the people at the table. The target of her anger was obviously Li Haotian. But now, Li Haotian was her special assistant. Even if this identity was just a fake identity that came from nowhere, it was still the first time he gave her face in front of these people. It seemed that this Li Haotian was quite useful. He was actually able to make that old fox, Zheng Kui Shan, and Yang Wen Yuan speechless.
