Chapter 101: Failed to Run for President
Seeing that Xin Suyan didn't say anything, Zhang Qianlin had no intention of stopping.
"So even when I knew you two were together during graduate school in New City, I didn't show anything."
"Because I know that such an outstanding man will definitely be surrounded by many admirers."
When Xin Suyan heard the words "crazy bees and butterflies", she couldn't help but gasp.
"I won't bother with you, but you are really addicted."
"It's better not to talk about New City. Come to think of it, you were the one who asked those people in the socialite circle to isolate me, right?"
Xin Suyan recalled that she was attacked by rumors at school, saying that she and Chen Ailin seduced Si Jin and Huo Shao, and she was furious.
Chen Ailin was rescued by Si Jin.
She is now notorious among her friends in New City, and to this day, she only has one confidant, Chen Ailin.
She doesn't even have a legitimate status, and now she's being attacked by her childhood sweetheart. Xin Suyan is getting angrier and angrier the more she thinks about it.
"I don't have the time to isolate you. It's you who don't love yourself. The classmate from the Ye family you just mentioned must be Ye Qiming, right?"
"You've obviously been with him before, but you're still pretending to be noble in front of Huo Rongtian."
Xin Suyan bit her lip and held her breath; seeing that Hengdong was about to arrive, she didn't want to argue with her.
"Ms. Zhang, I'm used to being bullied, so you think I'm easy to bully, right?"
"It's not your turn to judge who I am and what our relationship is."
Xin Suyan now understands why Huo Rongtin is not actively helping his good friend.
Sure enough, everyone has his own debts to repay.
When Zhang Qianlin saw the Hengdong underground garage, she immediately put away her sarcastic expression and looked dignified.
"Of course I won't judge my old classmates, but I also hope that you can stick to your duties. After Huo Rongtian and I get married, you can leave Hengdong."
"Don't worry, my boss only asked me to cooperate in completing the Central Ring Project. After the project funds are recovered, I will return to Hejun and no longer serve as the legal advisor here."
"That's good."
"Tomorrow is the board's vote. Huo Rongtian will definitely be able to become the president of Hengdong. If he succeeds, we will announce our engagement."
"Then congratulations."
Xin Suyan jumped out of the car and left without looking back.
Zhang Qianlin shouted from behind: "Thank you for your blessing."
The day of the board vote.
The two men were on the verge of a fight, confronting each other with swords drawn, and it was quite like the Battle of Mount Huashan.
However, no matter how the two brothers debated, it was all about business progress.
As for duels involving character attacks, keep them at home.
Among the upper classes, there is still a sense of decency and hypocrisy;
Huo Rongxin repeatedly blamed Huo Rongtin for failing to collect payment for the Central Ring project.
"If you have not completed the bet with the shareholders, you must accept the loss and give an explanation to the shareholders. I believe that the directors present will give a fair answer to the result this time."
"I did not have time to recover all the money, but except for the account books, part of the money has been recovered. This can be regarded as compensating some of the company's losses."
"The damage you have caused to the company is more than that."
Huo Rongxin threw a stack of materials on the table, holding a remote control in his hand, and showed the losses caused by some of the companies invested by Huo Rongtin.
"In the past few months, you have acquired a large number of Ye's subsidiaries. Some of the companies' businesses have even run into problems. How do you explain this?"
Huo Rongxin looked at Huo Rongtin arrogantly.
"You really took great pains to make a PPT for me."
"I don't want you to use your own selfish desires to avenge your brother by using the company's assets and going against the interests of shareholders to do things that harm shareholders and Hengdong."
"I acquired the core businesses of the Ye Group that have potential in the future. They didn't manage the business well, and I believe I have the management ability to reorganize the business. Moreover, holding a controlling stake in the Ye Group is also part of Hengdong's business plan."
Huo Rongtin explained in an orderly manner, neither humble nor arrogant, which was completely different from two years ago.
Although several major shareholders present usually have a good personal relationship with Huo Rongxin;
But judging from Huo Rongtin's explanation and the future development of the business, he secretly agreed.
"Besides, even a rotten ship still has three nails. I just want to buy their key technology, then dismantle and reassemble it."
"Now in Shangcheng, although the Huo family is big and powerful, compared with the old money Ye family, they are still involved in a wider range of fields. We just have more assets than them."
"If you want to be the only one in Upper City, you have to eat Ye's cake."
"If my second brother doesn't even have this much courage and plan, I think it's better not to bring it up. For an important occasion like the board of directors, it's more appropriate to choose an adventurer."
Huo Rongtin fought back against every question raised by Huo Rongxin without giving in.
"Since you took so much trouble to make the PPT, I'll return the favor."
"Why did you sell some of the small companies in the Ye family that I bought at high prices to Ye Qiming at low prices? You took advantage of the time when you were acting as the president to do something behind my back, and it was beneficial to the company?"
"Huo Rongtian! I hope that the decision to acquire Ye's was not made because of your personal grudge."
Huo Rongxin was completely furious. He quickly stood up and turned off the projection.
"Don't you have anything to do with Ye? I bought at a high price, and you sold at a low price. I want to know what your intention is."
Huo Rongtian pointed at Huo Rongxin with disdain and looked around at the people present: "Do you really want to elect someone like this as the president of Hengdong Shangcheng?"
"Okay, this is a shareholders meeting, not a grudge match between you two brothers."
One of the directors, Mr. Zhao, who supported Huo Rongxin, could not help but end the debate which had lasted for two hours.
"Let's not talk about anything else. At your brother's funeral last time, the chairman told you to compete for the position of president through the project."
“Since there is competition, let the results speak for themselves.”
Another shareholder couldn't help but seek justice.
"Then vote."
Huo Rongxin signaled the secretary to count the voting results.
Among the 13 people with the most shares, 7 votes were cast for Huo Rongxin, one of which was from Mr. Zhang.
The other 6 votes were cast for Huo Rongtin.
Huo Rongtian was not surprised by this result, but Huo Rongxin was a little surprised;
Because Mr. Chen, who supported him, switched his vote, Mr. Zhang, who supported Huo Rongtin, voted for him.
Perhaps because he did not release Zhang Qianlin on bail immediately, Mr. Zhang, a fence-sitter, has given up supporting his ideal son-in-law.
According to the agreement, Huo Rongshen is now officially the president of Hengdong Shangcheng.
Huo Rongtin became the vice president, and his functions were under the charge of Huo Rongshen.
After everyone left, the two brothers continued to accuse each other in the conference room.
"Huo Rongtian, let my second brother teach you again."
Huo Rongxin looked like a winner, smug, with a half-smile on his face, which was creepy.
"Business is like a battlefield. You look down on me for building relationships and connections all the time. The fact is, resources and connections are only part of one's ability."
After Huo Rongxin said this, he tilted his head back, looking as arrogant as an eagle.
As if he was watching prey about to be killed, he looked at Huo Rongtin ferociously, wishing he could tear him to pieces on the spot.
"What's the use of your clever brain?"
"You are far from being able to play tricks with me. Brat, it's not enough to just talk, you need to improve your acting skills."
Huo Rongtin closed his eyes and remained silent.
"The war won't end so easily. The world has had two world wars, and we've only had one."
