Chapter 119: Going to the Provincial Capital for a Meeting (1/2)

Zhao Qingfeng was confusedly dragged downstairs.

Seeing the woman’s heavily made-up appearance, he thought she was another ‘general’ brought by Zhang Ping.

He was puzzled internally but didn’t say anything, following them downstairs, ready to play along.

But it wasn’t until they left the school gate and got into the car that he realized it wasn’t the case.

This was a seven-seater business van with a license plate from the provincial capital.

Besides the driver and the woman, there were two other men in their thirties or forties in the car.

One of the younger men smiled at him, nodded, closed the car door, and said with a smile, “Classmate Zhao, do you remember me? Last time at the Erlunsi headquarters, in the conference room, I even poured water for you.”

Zhao Qingfeng felt the man looked familiar.

Memories flooded back.

He immediately recognized who the man was and smiled slightly, “Uncle, you must be surnamed Wang, Deputy Manager Wang, under Manager Zhang.”

“That’s right!”

Wang Hai politely nodded, introducing the person beside him, “Classmate Zhao, this is my cousin Wang Yang, he’s also a major shareholder of Erlunsi. Today, we invited you here not for anything else but to ask you to attend our shareholder meeting tomorrow.”

What?

Zhao Qingfeng was a bit confused.

What did Erlunsi’ shareholder meeting have to do with him?

The matter from last time was settled, and future cooperation was in the future, nothing was certain.

Could it be that Manager Zhang became the chairman and wanted to hire him?

Impossible.

Manager Zhang didn’t have that capability.

Zhao Qingfeng observed their expressions and noticed they were shifty and sneaky, clearly up to no good.

“Who is this?”

He glanced twice and, instead of answering, turned to ask the attractive woman beside him.

“My name is Xiao Li, the chairman’s secretary.”

Xiao Li, who was leaning on Wang Hai, extended her hand upon hearing the question.

Her fragrance was strong, and it became even more pungent as she leaned closer.

“Nice to meet you.”

Zhao Qingfeng smiled and shook her hand, then turned to look at Wang Yang again.

Wang Yang had been sizing up Zhao Qingfeng all along.

He had already heard about the previous incident from Wang Hai.

The shareholder meeting wasn’t called on a whim; it was all part of his premeditated plan.

As soon as Li Jianjun proposed the reform pilot, Wang Hai reported everything he knew to his cousin right away.

Wang Yang thought it over for a long time and decided it was a good opportunity.

He instructed Wang Hai to hold off, especially not to report Manager Zhang to Li Jianjun, planning to wait for the reform pilot to fail before initiating a shareholder meeting to impeach.

In his view, a middle school student’s suggestion was bound to be nonsense.

Failure would be great news for him.

But he never expected the pilot’s results to be very good.

So, he racked his brains and shifted his focus to the incident itself.

He planned to make an issue out of Zhao Qingfeng, the middle school student.

Because he also believed, even if the suggestion was good, it was just a fluke.

Thinking deeper, it was probably just a small trick by Dawn Apparel, cooperating with each other, fooling Manager Zhang with an excuse to secure the label, then accidentally achieving some results.

As for Zhao Qingfeng?

Just a young kid, how capable could he be?

Therefore.

He insisted on urgently calling a shareholder meeting before the next chairman’s election.

Planning to argue that the current chairman of Erlunsi was so incompetent, he allowed middle management to believe in the whims of a middle school student, using the reform, which was insufficient in detail and merely to keep his chairman position, as an excuse to deliver a severe blow to Li Jianjun.

And the key to hitting Li Jianjun now was Zhao Qingfeng himself.

Originally, he didn’t plan to find anyone, just to lay everything out at the meeting.

But at the last minute, he suddenly thought of a critical issue.

What if Li Jianjun also thought of this?

Under pressure, if Manager Zhang revealed it, and they protected Zhao Qingfeng and counterattacked, what then?

Better to act first, keep Zhao Qingfeng around, and let him attend tomorrow’s shareholder meeting to embarrass them.
