Chapter 9: Divorce Certificate in Hand, Board Meeting Begins!

The next morning, when Zheng Jie was sitting in Old Li's car, he was beaming with energy, showing no signs of fatigue from the intense night. Perhaps this was the benefit of being a transmigrator; even after a night of fierce combat, Zheng Jie looked perfectly fine the next day.

Of course, in the bedroom, Xia Wanqing and Huang Shihan were both aching all over, without even the strength to get up.

"Boss, where are we going..."

"Go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

When Zheng Jie spoke, his tone was calm. It was only 8:30, and the drive from the residential complex to the Civil Affairs Bureau was only about 20 minutes; there was definitely enough time.

"Understood."

Old Li drove off immediately. Twenty minutes later, Zheng Jie appeared at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer had not arrived yet, so Zheng Jie waited for them at the entrance.

A few minutes later, a Maybach pulled up to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Zheng Jie knew this was Zheng Tian's car. The next second, the car door opened, and Zheng Tian stepped out wearing a custom-tailored suit and gold-rimmed glasses. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked like a victor.

After Zheng Tian stepped out, Su Qiaoer followed. Today, Su Qiaoer was wearing a white dress, looking like a pure white flower rising from the mud, quite different from her usual self.

When Zheng Jie looked at Su Qiaoer, Su Qiaoer was also looking at Zheng Jie.

In Su Qiaoer's view, Zheng Jie should have been dejected and somewhat sad, but she was disappointed. At this moment, Zheng Jie looked radiant and didn't seem to be affected much by the divorce.

"Zheng Jie, I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

Perhaps to show off his success, Zheng Tian reached out and wrapped his arm around Su Qiaoer's, unable to hide the smile on his face.

"Yes, I don't want to waste any time."

Hearing this, Zheng Tian's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that Zheng Jie was still quite sensible now.

However, what Zheng Tian didn't know was that what Zheng Jie didn't want to delay was the time for the equity transfer.

"Yes, Su Qiaoer and I have been through so much over the years, and it can be considered a happy ending. I don't want to waste time either. Su Qiaoer and I discussed it, and we decided that once you get your divorce certificate, we will go straight to get our marriage certificate."

"Our parents have already booked a private room, and we will have a proper celebration then."

Zheng Tian said these things to provoke Zheng Jie, but Zheng Jie acted as if he hadn't heard anything, his face remaining calm. When someone wants to make you angry and you don't get angry, they feel worse than anyone else.

"Then let's go get the divorce certificate quickly."

Zheng Jie urged. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer looked at Zheng Jie. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't get a single word out.

"Alright, let's go in."

"Mm."

Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Where have you been during this time?"

After a long while, Su Qiaoer looked at Zheng Jie and asked.

"I went traveling."

"I've been tired for so many years, so I just took a break."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.

"Mm, that's good... You won't have to be as tired as you were in the past."

After saying this, Su Qiaoer realized she didn't know what else to say. Just a while ago, they had been able to talk about everything, but now, Su Qiaoer realized they had nothing left to say to each other.

Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.

"That... that's not necessarily true."

Su Qiaoer was slightly stunned when she heard this. She felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, but thinking that Zheng Jie was no longer the president of the Zheng Group, and that the people who used to surround him had long since left and appeared by Zheng Tian's side, she figured Zheng Jie wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble, so Su Qiaoer didn't think much of it.

There were quite a lot of people at the divorce section. After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer's turn.

After confirming that neither of them had changed their minds about the divorce, the staff member took a deep breath, and the steel seal in their hand slowly descended.

The divorce certificate... was secured.

Looking at the divorce certificate in her hand, Su Qiaoer raised her head and looked at Zheng Jie.

At this moment, Zheng Jie was holding his phone, seemingly chatting with someone, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking quite happy.

If Su Qiaoer knew what was going to happen next, she would also be happy if she were Zheng Jie.

"Divorce certificate secured."

"Proceed with the equity transfer."

After receiving the news, Zhang Wei immediately looked at the staff member in front of him.

Equity transfer needs to go through relevant departments, and it requires the contract as well as the triggering conditions for the equity transfer within the contract.

In the contract set up by Father Zheng and Mrs. Zheng, there was only one triggering condition: the divorce certificate of Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer. Now that the divorce certificate was secured, the entire contract officially took effect.

"This is the equity transfer agreement. The agreement clearly stipulates that once Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer divorce, this 10% stake will be automatically transferred to my client, Mr. Zheng Jie. You can verify this by calling the Civil Affairs Bureau or checking the internal network."

Hearing this, the staff member nodded.

"Understood, please wait a moment, we will confirm it."

"Mm."

The staff member's verification process was quick. About ten minutes later, they had confirmed that the marital status of Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer had ended. Therefore, after confirming that there were no issues with the contract, the staff member proceeded with the equity transfer according to the contract.

Once the equity transfer was obtained, Zhang Wei immediately informed Zheng Jie.

At this moment, Zheng Jie was sitting on his way to the Zheng Group. As for Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer, they had gone to a restaurant to accept the celebration arranged for them by the two families. However, while they were celebrating, they didn't know that Zheng Jie's counterattack was about to begin.

On the way, Zheng Jie looked at the street outside through the window. Today's sky was a bit gray, and it seemed that, barring any surprises, a heavy rain was about to fall.

Soon, Zheng Jie appeared at the entrance of the Zheng Group.

At this moment, a few people were waiting at the entrance; these people were Zheng Jie's people.

"President."

When they saw Zheng Jie, everyone's tone was filled with joy. Seeing the smiles on their faces, Zheng Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud. Perhaps because the boss was laughing, the somewhat restrained smiles of the others turned into hearty laughter.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work during this time."

"Next... let's proceed step by step and take the Zheng Group into our own hands."

The Zheng Parents did not know now that the 10% stake given to make Zheng Jie divorce would become the thing they regretted most in their lives.

The group walked towards the Zheng Group. When the receptionist saw Zheng Jie leading several high-level executives of the group inside, her face was filled with surprise. After all, the news that the president had been replaced by Zheng Tian was known throughout the group, yet today, Zheng Jie had actually come.

Moreover, there were so many high-level executives following behind them, which surprised them.

"In my capacity as a shareholder, I am convening a board meeting."

According to the regulations of the Zheng Group's board of directors, as long as you are a shareholder with more than 5% of the shares, you can convene a board meeting. Therefore, Zheng Jie had the qualification to convene a board meeting.

"Understood."

The person next to him heard this and immediately took action.

Meanwhile, at a restaurant, the Zheng Parents, the Su Parents, as well as Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer were gathered together, with smiles on everyone's faces.

"This time, it can be considered that you are on the right track."

The Su Parents looked at Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer, smiles on their faces.

To them, it didn't matter whether Su Qiaoer married Zheng Tian or Zheng Jie. What was important was that through this marriage, the Zheng Family and the Su Family would be tied together. Judging from this period of time, they believed that the Zheng Family's emphasis on Zheng Tian far exceeded that on Zheng Jie. Under such circumstances, they certainly supported Su Qiaoer and Zheng Tian getting married.

"Uncle, Auntie, a few years ago, I was still a bit immature and caused Su Qiaoer some grievances, but please rest assured, I will definitely treat Su Qiaoer well in the future."

Hearing this, the Su Parents nodded.

"The past is in the past."

"Isn't the current result also very good?"

"However, given your and Su Qiaoer's ages, after you get married, you must hurry up and have children so that us four old folks can hold our grandchildren as soon as possible."

After saying this, Su Qiaoer's face flushed slightly, appearing a bit shy.

"Oh, Mom, what are you saying."

"Hahaha, Su Qiaoer is shy."

Zheng Tian, who was beside her, also smiled.

"Then, Uncle and Auntie, we will definitely do it as soon as possible."

"Still calling us Uncle and Auntie?"

At this moment, Father Zheng said with a smile. Hearing this, Zheng Tian finally realized. That's right, he had already received the marriage certificate with Zheng Jie.

"Mom, Dad."

"Hahahaha, good, good, good."

Now, the atmosphere was exceptionally happy. Everyone was immersed in joy, and just at this moment, Father Zheng's phone suddenly rang.

He looked at his phone screen; it was a call from the chairman's assistant.

Now, Father Zheng had basically handed over power to Zheng Tian and did not ask about anything in the company. In Father Zheng's plan, after a year or two, once Zheng Tian was familiar with the company, he would give him the chairman's position.

But when Zheng Jie was there, Father Zheng would make Zheng Jie report company matters to him every day, and even the replacement of every middle and high-level manager required Father Zheng's nod. It could only be said that although they were both his sons, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Perhaps in Father Zheng's mind, he had never thought about handing the company over to Zheng Jie; even if Zheng Jie performed well, he wouldn't give it to him.

Father Zheng took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Hello, what's wrong?"

A voice came from the other side.

"Chairman, Zheng Jie has come to the company and wants to convene a board meeting."

Hearing this, Father Zheng's face instantly darkened.

"Convene a board meeting?"

"What does this rebellious son want to do?"
