Chapter 127: Convincing Everyone (1/2)

Zhao Qingfeng lightly spread his hands, leaning back in the chairman’s large sofa chair, slowly savoring his tea.

He absolutely would not discuss the most critical issues until benefits were assured.

The shareholders looked at each other, wanting to ask in detail but had no way to do so.

Li Jianjun thought for a moment and then asked three questions.

After he finished, Wang Yang also asked two.

The remaining three questions were particularly tricky and difficult, chosen by the other shareholders.

The result was obvious.

No matter the question, Zhao Qingfeng was able to provide perfect answers that convinced everyone present.

But.

Whenever it came to key issues or information, he either avoided the topic or revealed just enough to keep them on tenterhooks.

“I have answered all your questions. It’s your decision now.”

An hour later.

After Zhao Qingfeng perfectly answered all questions, he got up from his seat, glanced at Wang Yang, then instructed someone to find him a quiet room to wait.

He wanted to see how Wang Yang would act.

If he behaved well, then the matter would be considered resolved, especially since he was a major shareholder. If he was willing to give up shares according to the current percentage of shareholders, he would lose even more.

But if Wang Yang’s behavior was poor, the matter would not end there.

Zhao Qingfeng now controlled the situation and had at least ten ways to make Wang Yang regret his actions.

Seeing him stand up.

Li Jianjun immediately ordered Secretary Xiao Li to take him to the chairman’s office first, where making tea and pouring water went without saying.

After he left.

The meeting room fell into dead silence again.

In just a few hours.

Everyone felt as if they were dreaming.

They looked at the empty chairman’s chair, feeling everything was unreal.

The room remained quiet for over twenty minutes.

Everyone frowned, deeply reflecting on Zhao Qingfeng’s performance and answers.

Some clenched their fists to their mouths, some frowned and scratched their foreheads, some leaned back and touched their chins, some shook their legs and looked at the ceiling.

In short.

Everyone was trying to find evidence in these brief memories not to be convinced by Zhao Qingfeng.

But after a long period of thought.

They could only come up with an answer.

Flawless!

“Cough cough…”

Before long, Li Jianjun coughed, drawing everyone’s gaze, “Gentlemen, stop thinking about it. The events of today were unexpected not just for you, but for me as well, and I believe Wang Yang didn’t expect them either.”

As he spoke.

Everyone stopped pondering, nodding and turning their gaze towards both Li Jianjun and Wang Yang.

Li Jianjun also glanced at Wang Yang, and the two exchanged brief looks.

Wang Yang’s brow was deeply furrowed, as if he wanted to say something, but Li Jianjun was quicker.

He stood up, his brows furrowed, and expressed his thoughts straightforwardly.

“Gentlemen.”

“Let’s be clear, the original theme of today’s meeting was the competition between Wang Yang and me for the chairman’s position.”

“I thought today would end with either his downfall or mine, even considering a scenario where both of us would go down together.”

“But.”

“The appearance of Mr. Zhao, and the propositions he put forward, were outcomes I had never anticipated.”

“I think, after the series of questions and the various problems and answers he provided, and after a long period of thought, you must all admire this young man who is only eighteen years old, just as I do.”

“At first, I was reluctant to believe it was true, but just now, I came to understand something.”

“As the old saying goes, a teacher does not necessarily have to be wiser than the student, and the student does not have to be inferior to the teacher.”

“The saying that the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward, and that there will always be new talents in the country, perhaps our previous subjective distrust was too narrow-minded. In fact, we should not judge a person’s ability with a limited perspective.”

“So what I want to say is.”

“I, Li Jianjun, take the lead in sincerely hoping that Mr. Zhao can join Erlunsi and lead us to true glory.”

“As for the share distribution and his position, if you all agree, I would also like to discuss it with everyone. I just don’t know what Wang Yang thinks?”

After this speech.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They also came to realize something.

Although being eighteen years old might seem very young from the current perspective.
