Chapter 6: Zheng Jie's First Three Initiatives – Projects He Pushed For? Suspended Immediately!
After leaving the Zheng family, Zheng Jie had the driver take him back to the Villa. Upon arriving at the Villa and just stepping out of the car, Zheng Jie's phone rang.
It was a call from his assistant at the Zheng Group.
Although he hadn't answered yet, Zheng Jie knew what the other party was contacting him about.
He answered the call.
"Hello."
Zheng Jie's tone was full of laziness.
"President, it's not good. I just received news that the Chairman has suddenly convened a board meeting. There is only one main agenda item, which is to remove you from your position as President. Do you think we should resist this?"
Father Zheng currently still held 50% of the shares. Even if one resisted, as long as Father Zheng wanted to forcefully push this matter through, no matter how one resisted, it would be of no use.
Moreover, if one were to resist now, it would instead cause some of his own layouts to be exposed prematurely. Wouldn't that be penny-wise and pound-foolish?
"Resist? No, there is no need to resist."
"Tell our people, no matter what the result of the board meeting is, cooperate fully."
The corners of Zheng Jie's mouth curled up slightly.
Now he was only short of 10% of the shares.
Zheng Tian, the Zheng family... you will only be able to struggle for another month.
The assistant was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
Although he knew that resisting wouldn't yield any results, there were so many people within the group supporting Zheng Jie; shouldn't they at least struggle a bit?
"President, this..."
"Rest assured, I have my own arrangements. They won't be triumphant for long."
Hearing Zheng Jie say this, the assistant didn't say anything more. After all, having followed Zheng Jie for such a long time, he understood Zheng Jie; as long as he said something, he would definitely be able to accomplish it.
"Understood, President, I understand."
"Mm, maintain their emotions during this period. Also, there is one more thing: book me a flight ticket. I want to go abroad. Having been tired for so long, I really need to have a good rest."
For the past few years, apart from eating and sleeping, Zheng Jie had devoted all his remaining time to work. Although it was passive, it could at least be considered a month of vacation, so Zheng Jie definitely wanted to take a good rest for a period of time.
"Understood, President, I understand."
"Mm."
After ending the call, Zheng Jie stretched, and then returned inside the Villa.
Meanwhile, on the side of Su Qiaoer, she had also already learned that the Zheng Group had initiated a board meeting, preparing to remove Zheng Jie from his position as President.
"Are you sure?"
Su Qiaoer's tone was full of surprise.
"Certain. It is said that directors who are out of town will also participate via video conference."
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer furrowed her brows tightly.
Removing Zheng Jie from his position as President?
This...
Thinking of what Zheng Jie had told her that day—that he only had one chance—she hesitated for a moment, took out her phone, and prepared to call Zheng Jie to remind him. However, just as she was about to dial, Su Qiaoer pulled her finger back.
She was not stupid.
She knew that removing Zheng Jie from his position as President at this time was definitely for the sake of Zheng Tian.
In all likelihood, Zheng Tian would succeed to the position of President.
Therefore, if she made this call, wouldn't that be equivalent to betraying Zheng Tian?
Zheng Tian, Zheng Jie...
The images of these two people appeared in her mind one after another.
After a long while, she turned off her phone screen.
At this moment, Su Qiaoer still chose Zheng Tian.
"Zheng Jie... I have left you so many assets; even without the position of President of the Zheng Group, you can still live a life that others will envy."
"Zheng Tian is truly more suitable for the position of President, and he also wants it very much."
Perhaps because of the guilt in her heart, Su Qiaoer kept rambling internally, as if she felt that this could alleviate the guilt in her heart.
On Zheng Jie's side, he had his people cooperate fully, so there were no ripples at the board meeting.
"Chairman, the proportion of shares that agree to remove Zheng Jie from the position of President is 100%."
Father Zheng nodded upon hearing this.
"Fine, since that is the case, then remove Zheng Jie from the position of President."
Beside him, Zheng Tian's mouth curled up slightly upon hearing this.
"So, Zheng Jie, what is the point of your struggling and getting angry? Your position is just a matter of a single sentence. However, now I am going to become the President."
Thinking about how he was about to sit in the position of President of the Zheng Group, managing such a company with a market value exceeding one trillion, Zheng Tian was full of complacency in his heart.
"Hmph, working so hard to bring the company to its current scale, making myself end up in the Hospital several times, and in the end, wasn't it still making a wedding dress for me?"
"You just honestly go to that marginalized company of the group to be the Chairman, and then watch how I become the President."
Thinking of the mockery Zheng Jie gave him when they came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, at this moment, Zheng Tian only felt that his great revenge had been avenged.
"Now we proceed to the second agenda of the board meeting."
"That is for Zheng Tian to be elected as the President of the Zheng Group, responsible for the daily management of the group, as well as the formulation of the general direction."
Hearing this, Zheng Tian straightened his body. At this moment, he was wearing a straight suit, and he really looked like the real deal.
Hearing this, a few directors looked at each other, as if wanting to say something, but they hesitated for a moment, and in the end, they still didn't say it.
After all, Zheng Jie's order had already been issued.
They had to listen to Zheng Jie.
"I support it."
At this moment, Father Zheng was the first to raise his hand.
When Father Zheng supported it, this matter was actually passed. The remaining people exchanged glances and also raised their hands one after another.
"Good, 100% passed. Zheng Tian, from now on, you are the President of the Zheng Group. I can say that I have high hopes for you, so work hard."
Zheng Tian nodded upon hearing this.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and won't let you down."
"It's just that regarding Zheng Jie... will he be a little unhappy?"
Father Zheng laughed upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, he won't."
"Let him rest for a few days, and he will figure it out."
"You are the older brother, everything in the family should rightfully be yours."
"Alright, hurry up and familiarize yourself with the work."
At this time, Father Zheng patted Zheng Tian on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.
"I know, Dad."
After sending Father Zheng away, the corners of Zheng Tian's mouth curled up slightly.
Now he was finally the President of the Zheng Group. He had thought there would be how much difficulty, and had thought Zheng Jie would struggle. Now it seemed that the words the other party said were just harsh words, but what use were harsh words? Now he was the President.
Zheng Tian arrived at the President's office. This was on the sub-top floor of the group, and the view was very good. He walked straight to the office desk, looked at the photo of Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer placed on the table, picked it up, and then let go.
Crack.
The next second, the photo frame fell to the ground, and the glass shattered into pieces instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Tian stretched out his foot and stepped on the photo, as if at this moment what Zheng Tian was stepping on was not a photo, but Zheng Jie's face.
It was just that what Zheng Tian did not know was that in the car heading to the airport, Zheng Jie had already seen everything Zheng Tian did in the President's office through his mobile phone.
Zheng Jie looked at this scene, his eyes full of coldness.
He felt a bit of murderous intent at this moment.
...
After Zheng Tian became the President, there were definitely three fires upon taking office.
This was not the case; the few projects that Zheng Jie was preparing to invest in during this period were all stopped by him.
"President, these few projects have been evaluated by the Investment Department. The project development prospects are good, and the future returns are also considerable. Stopping the investment progress just like this, is it..."
An executive looked at Zheng Tian, who was sitting in the middle of the conference table, hesitated for a moment, and still expressed his thoughts. Hearing this, Zheng Tian's face was full of impatience.
"Are you the President, or am I the President?"
One sentence completely choked the executive, unable to say a word.
"The investment time for these projects is too long. What if there are any changes in the middle? So I think we should stop investing in these projects."
Zheng Tian naturally would not be willing to invest in these projects.
After all, these were all projects pushed by Zheng Jie himself when he was the President. Now that he had ascended to the position, he had to stop them and invest in the projects he wanted to invest in. He wanted to prove that his ability was not inferior to Zheng Jie's—no, that he was even more capable than Zheng Jie.
"Understood."
What else could this executive say? He could only sit down obediently.
But thinking about how the department worked overtime day and night for these investments, and now it was stopped just because of Zheng Tian's one sentence, this also made him feel uncomfortable in his heart.
And don't look at the high-sounding words the other party said; the people present were not fools either. They also understood that no matter what the other party said, in reality, the other party had only one goal, and that was to remove the influence of Zheng Jie.
"Alright, if there is nothing else, then let's adjourn the meeting."
Leaving this sentence behind, Zheng Tian turned around and left.
Watching Zheng Tian's departing back, everyone looked at each other.
"What kind of thing is this? Even if it's an internal struggle, these projects are all good projects."
Several executives walked together, their tone full of helplessness.
"A new emperor, a new court. How could the projects pushed by Chairman Jie continue under President Tian? Sigh, there will be plenty to see in the future."
"If you ask me, I don't know what the Chairman is thinking. Chairman Jie's ability is so strong, bringing the company to its current scale, and now he is directly removed. Giving the position of President to someone who has never had any investment experience, I think this Chairman is also senile."
Confirming that no one else was listening around, this person directly spoke his true thoughts.
"And that's not all. I heard that in order to pave the way for Zheng Tian, the Chairman made Chairman Jie get a divorce and let President Su marry President Tian. Really, if I were Chairman Jie, I would take revenge."
"I don't know what Chairman Jie is thinking. Forget it, let's not think about it. Anyway, we are just collecting a salary, and it has nothing to do with us."
"Who says it isn't."
When everyone left, they did not notice that a few people were watching them not far away.
And these few people were exactly the people on Zheng Jie's side, and they also knew part of Zheng Jie's plan.
"I heard... Chairman Jie went traveling?"
"Yes, I heard from Chairman Jie that he is taking a rest for this period."
"Chairman Jie? I think when he comes back, we will have to call him Chairman Jie."
Hearing this, everyone laughed in unison.
They were Zheng Jie's direct subordinates, and they knew too well how terrifying Zheng Jie could be when he wanted to deal with you.
