Although Wang Zheng was smiling, everyone could feel a chilling coldness in his eyes.
The directors had never seen such a scene before. It was supposed to be a negotiation, but suddenly knives were being brandished and there were threats of fingers being chopped off. This was too unconventional; did this person happen to be the spokesperson for Metersbonwe
Shangguan Qiji and Shangguan Lin, despite their high status, had very little business experience. Facing Wang Zheng's unorthodox approach, they were momentarily at a loss.
"You there, don't call anyone or I'll cut off your fingers." Upon seeing an older director secretly pulling out his phone under the table to make a call, Wang Zheng walked up to him and pressed the knife against the director's face.
The elderly man originally wanted to call for help. He had never been threatened in such a way throughout his life; the coldness of the blade made him shiver all over, even causing goosebumps on his neck.
"Don't tremble or I might accidentally scratch your face. Of course, I could also cut off your ear by mistake—my knife is very sharp." Wang Zheng's voice was sinister and chilling; after speaking, he blew a breath of cold air into the man's nape, causing every hair on his body to stand up straight, making Shangguan Shishi feel shudders down her spine.
The old man carefully put the phone back in his pocket without daring to make another call. He was afraid that this unpredictable person might accidentally disfigure his face beyond recognition.
"Give me your phones."
Wang Zheng reached out and took a new model smartphone from the elderly director's pocket, flung it out of the window with one hand; at thirty-six floors up, over one hundred meters high, the phone would shatter upon impact. If someone had fallen instead, they likely would have ended up as human meat paste on the ground.
Indeed, several seconds later, there was a faint crackling sound, clearly indicating that the expensive phone had shattered into pieces.
Fortunately, there was a large terrace five floors down where it wouldn't hurt anyone to be hit by something falling from above.
Wang Zheng forcefully collected all of the directors' phones. Looking at these luxury smartphones, some of which even had diamond-encrusted buttons exuding extreme opulence, Wang Zheng made an impression of disapproval and dissatisfaction.
This small pile of luxury phones would conservatively cost several million yuan. Wang Zheng thought about it and still couldn't bring himself to throw them away. After all, even a fly's share is a share; no matter how much money they were worth, saving them could play some role in bringing down the Su family in the future.
He would leave this pile of phones with Li Minghao. Even if he used them to pay his subordinates' salaries for several months, it wouldn't be a problem.
With that thought, Wang Zheng didn't hesitate and took off his suit jacket, wrapping up all the phones. Then he said, "These phones are pretty good; I'll borrow them for now. I'll return them to you in twenty years."
After Wang Zheng packed these expensive phones, he looked up at the directors who were looking at each other and at Shishi who was somewhat shocked. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "Well then, I'm off to do my own thing; carry on with your meeting. Don't let me disturb you."
...
The rest of the meeting proceeded smoothly. With Wang Zheng present as an intimidating figure, no one from the上官家 dared to act out. Whenever anyone showed even a hint of dissatisfaction with what Shishi said, Wang Zheng would immediately give them a look full of murderous intent, and everyone fell silent.
"That's settled then. During my father’s illness period, I will take charge of all affairs at Jirong International, please cooperate with me."
Satisfied, Shishi glanced around the board members in the meeting room and said, "If there are any objections, speak up now."
Who dared to object Looking at Wang Zheng playing with his gleaming knife, even if these directors were seething inside, they couldn't express it!
Wang Zheng didn't hide the playful look in his eyes. His taunting gaze openly conveyed a message: "If you have any objections, go ahead and voice them, but beware that anyone who makes Shishi unhappy will face my knife."
The directors were at this stage of their lives and no longer had anything to lose; none wanted to risk being dismembered by this ruthless man.
Shishi smiled and exchanged a glance with Wang Zheng. "If there are no objections, we can conclude today's board meeting."
The上官家 family let out a collective grunt just as they were about to stand up when Wang Zheng stepped forward, widened his eyes, put on an ugly expression, and shouted, "What Are you all trying to leave now Don’t forget to applaud for the acting chairman’s speech!"
The directors were taken aback. What’s going on Should they, as uncles and aunts to this young lady who hasn’t even finished college, clap for her
What does this guy mean
The directors felt like crying; the humiliation they suffered today was already enough. Now they were being asked to clap! What on earth should they do
But when they saw Wang Zheng’s murderous gaze, any thoughts of resistance immediately vanished.
"Clap quickly. Anyone who doesn’t clap won’t be allowed to leave the door today." With a playful smile, Wang Zheng raised his hand and sent a glinting dagger straight into the conference room's door. The blade sank completely into the door with its tip still quivering intensely.
A few directors turned pale at the sight of the trembling dagger.
"Don’t look at me like that; you don’t have to doubt it—I am threatening you. But being able to threaten a group of billionaires feels pretty good too."
Wang Zheng ignored their blazing glares and gloated for a few seconds before putting on an even more vicious expression.
"Clap now!"
No one knew who started, but someone began reluctantly clapping. Soon the whole conference room was filled with sparse applause; all the directors were begrudgingly applauding, including Shangguan Qi and Shangguan Lin as well.
The clapping lasted a full minute before Wang Zheng said satisfactorily, "Very good, very good. I’m satisfied now. Acting Chairman Shi, can we dismiss the meeting"
Shangguan Po’s tear-streaked face had vanished; she forced herself to smile and answered, "The meeting is dismissed. Directors may go about their business."
Watching a group of resentful backs leave the Jirong Building, Shangguan Po turned to Wang Zheng, who was smiling at her, feeling immense gratitude that could not be put into words.
"Did I push them too hard today After all, they are also my elders." Although Shangguan Po had inherited her father’s business acumen, she hadn’t experienced the ruthlessness of the business world yet and was still a soft-hearted girl.
"If you don't push them today, they won't show you any mercy either," Wang Zheng looked at Shishi and said with a smile: "That's how the business world operates; sometimes it can be even more ruthless than war. I'd rather charge forward on the battlefield with an assault rifle than crawl around in this treacherous business environment."
"But I feel like you're the most scheming person of all," Shishi muttered softly, then looked apologetic and said: "Wang Zheng, you've helped me so much. Yet, I often get impatient with you... That..."
Before Shishi could finish her sentence, Wang Zheng interrupted generously: "Don't worry about it, I haven’t taken it to heart. How can I take seriously someone who has irregular periods"
Hearing this, the genuine apology on Shishi's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a murderous look!
"You make it impossible for people to have any good feelings towards you!" Shishi was so furious that she jumped up.
...
The acquisition of Meilong Group’s equity can be put on hold temporarily. With me here, Cheng Kangmei wouldn't dare to play any tricks. Use this time to integrate the resources of Jirong International and steer it in the right direction. Then we can think about other developments," Wang Zheng was sitting in what used to be the上官家的辦公室，現在是上官詩詩的辦公室裡，一邊打量著室內的佈置，一邊對上官詩詩說道：“我想這些都不需要我教你吧。該做什麼不該做什麼你應該都清楚。如果有不確定的事情，你可以向你家老太爺請教一下，他雖然表麵上說是隱退了，但是外麵發生的事肯定逃不過他的法眼。”
Shishi was flipping through some documents and nodded, but her eyes flashed with a hint of dejection.
"Grandfather has been retired for many years. My father suddenly fell ill at this critical moment. Wang Zheng, I need your help," Shishi said sincerely.
Indeed, for someone as inexperienced as Shishi to take charge of such an enormous commercial enterprise like Jirong International was indeed a daunting task, even with her unusual business acumen and talent. It would be very difficult for her to manage the company well and control those scheming directors in a short period.
Shangguan Yingzhan was the founder of the Shangguan family; this elderly man who began his rise sixty years ago is now close to ninety. In the decades he dominated the business world, countless legends happened around him, and thus the Shangguan Family became one of the most renowned commercial families in China.
More than twenty years ago, Shangguan Yingzhan suddenly retired, announcing that he would no longer be involved in family affairs. The third son, Shangguan Ji Zheng, who was previously unknown, took over as the head of the family and became the chairman of Jirong International, while his eldest brother Shangguan Ji Qi and second brother Shangguan Ji Lin were not involved in any family matters, which surprised everyone.
At that time, many people criticized the old man's decision to hand over management to a low-key third son, believing it would cause unnecessary conflicts. However, there was much dissatisfaction within the family. But the old man chose to ignore these comments and focused on his garden in his estate. Time proved that his judgment was correct; under Shangguan Ji Zheng’s leadership for over twenty years, Jirong International saw unprecedented development, becoming a leading force in China's business world and gaining significant influence internationally.his focus, seeking more exciting ways to indulge himself, and eventually turned his sights towards his own sister.In Zhang Bowen's eyes, what could be more thrilling than an incestuous relationshipThe...
