Chapter 124: Shocking Everyone (1/2)

Watching Zhao Qingfeng directly take the seat he had dreamed of, Wang Yang immediately wanted to burst into curses.

But as his gaze met Zhao Qingfeng’s.

The mouth he had just opened promptly shut tight, and he nervously swallowed.

Presence!

He was intimidated by a mysterious yet seemingly rightful aura.

He had seen such a gaze before.

He had the fortune to mingle in some high-end gatherings and had seen the looks of big shots up close.

It was a kind of indescribable natural demeanor, as if born to be in a high position.

But this wasn’t right.

The middle school student’s gaze at this moment was different from those big shots.

He was more composed, more confident, and his natural disdain was mixed with a commanding air.

This was not an attitude a young person should have!

The change in presence was perceivable, and others noticed this issue too.

Li Jianjun was seeing Zhao Qingfeng for the first time.

Initially, he had disregarded what Manager Zhang had said about confidence, thinking this middle school student would show timidity like a child in front of so many adults.

But now.

He felt he couldn’t compare to this middle school student in some aspects.

It was an awkward and realistic feeling.

If he had to describe it, he thought the suddenly serious Zhao Qingfeng didn’t seem like a young person, but more like someone his own age or even a more successful person than himself.

Zhang Dekai was the most surprised.

He thought his judgment was correct because, from Zhao Qingfeng’s earlier performance, it seemed very likely that he was just playing along with Liu Li and others.

But now.

The familiar feeling reappeared, more shocking than before.

In that instant.

Manager Zhang’s mind suddenly filled with immense hope, as if Zhao Qingfeng was already a hero capable of saving the day.

Strange.

Each person felt differently, yet all were so peculiarly moved.

But amidst their astonishment, they understood one thing more clearly.

Regardless of the presence or performance, the most important thing was what this drastically changed middle school student was about to say in such a significant setting.

The room fell silent.

Every pair of eyes was fixed on him.

Zhao Qingfeng also glanced at everyone lightly.

Many people, after making eye contact, couldn’t bear to look longer and hastily shifted their gaze.

A minute later.

When the room was quiet enough to hear a pin drop, Zhao Qingfeng finally slowly began to speak, his voice steady and confident, uttering a sentence that instantly shocked everyone, like thunder.

“If the ‘light asset reform’ decision I’m about to explain in detail is implemented, I can at least guarantee one thing, ensuring that Erlunsi Corporation can achieve a small goal of surpassing 40 billion in annual revenue within the next ten years.”

As his words fell.

The entire room was stunned, instantly erupting into turmoil.

Forty billion!

A small goal?

It sounded like a myth.

How much were Erlunsi’ assets now? Suffering losses year after year, just a few tens of millions, right?

An annual revenue of forty billion implied the company’s total assets might exceed a hundred billion!

Not just them.

Even Li Jianjun had never dared to dream of such a figure.

Of course.

Shock was one thing, skepticism was another!

And at this moment.

People’s thoughts were diverted by the enormous figure of forty billion, especially the shareholders.

They no longer cared whether Li Jianjun or Wang Yang was chairman; they just wanted to hear what Zhao Qingfeng had to say next, to see how it was possible to break through forty billion in annual revenue within ten years.

As shareholders, the better the company did, the more they earned.

Everyone was filled with doubts and immense excitement.

Under normal circumstances, they would never believe a middle school student’s words.

But now, they were also overwhelmed by this calm demeanor, staring at Zhao Qingfeng with a thirst for knowledge.

“You must have many questions.”

Zhao Qingfeng easily took control of the room’s pace but didn’t continue speaking. Instead, he swept his gaze over everyone again, as if seeing through everything.

This was natural.

The shareholders had previously asked Li Jianjun and Manager Zhang detailed questions but hadn’t received satisfactory answers.

Several shareholders looked at each other and immediately asked a few tricky questions.

But Zhao Qingfeng didn’t answer.
