My Scheming Little Devil
Chapter 240: It’s Actually Him_1
It appears that the Jun Family, capable of establishing a marriage alliance with a longtime historical entity such as Rosmandanli, truly possesses extraordinary strength.
This Third Young Master Jun is exceptionally outstanding and indeed lives up to the reputation of being educated by the Rosmandanli family. The talent cultivation of this family is known to be the most formidable!
Upon Hua Lunxi’s arrival, he had already thoroughly investigated. The Jun Group is the nation’s powerhouse, unparalleled in its influence. He is thinking of leveraging their power to help find his sister.
"Third Young Master Jun, I have a favor to ask!"
...
Finally, everyone attending the meeting has arrived. The guests leave the reception hall and enter the conference room. The meeting officially begins.
The key topic of today’s meeting is to elect the new president of the chamber of commerce. The position is decided by a majority vote.
Every member with voting rights approached the ballot box at the front of the room to cast their vote.
Feeling confident, Shang Jingchen lowered his voice and said to Mrs. Gu boastfully: "The candidate arranged by the Shang family will surely get elected. Once he becomes the President of the Chamber of Commerce, he will be able to help both our families acquire more benefits."
"Is Crown Prince Shang certain? The area of our joint venture hasn’t yet been obtained by the Gu Clan. If your candidate gets elected, it will obviously be of great advantage to us." But she can’t help glancing at the seemingly indifferent Third Young Master Jun observing the voting, a chill creeping into her heart, feeling increasingly anxious.
Why is he here? What is his goal?
"Rest assured, I have already secured the majority of votes. Just wait for the result, Mrs. Gu!"
The voting proceeded for half an hour, after which the votes were immediately opened, counted, and the results announced.
"Du Fengyi, with 88 votes, has won by fifty-three percent of the total votes, hereby elected as the President of the Chamber. Congratulations!"
The color drains from Shang Jingchen’s face. How is it possible? This result is impossible; it should have been his candidate who got elected. How could the vote fall short by twenty-eight percent?
Shang Jingchen was incredulous and furious. Who on earth stabbed him in the back, sneaking the position away?
He immediately approached President Zhao of Zhao Corporation, anger evident on his face: "Zhao Chaoming, what does this mean? You gave your votes to my opponent."
This should have been his ally, who has always had a good relationship with the Shang family, unexpectedly he created such trouble at the last minute. He couldn’t tolerate this betrayal.
Zhao Chaoming looked embarrassed, "I’m sorry, Crown Prince Shang. I can’t help you this time."
As he tried to leave, he was abruptly stopped by Shang Jingchen.
"Stop, tell me who’s behind this. Did you forget all the times my grandfather helped you?"
"Crown Prince Shang, I had no choice but to submit. Some people are too powerful and I can’t resist."
His eyes shifted to a man who remained indifferent throughout the procedure, feeling a chill running down his spine. This formidable figure was eerie. He would not have possibly been scared if he was pressured by only the Jun Group.
But this man... He shuddered thinking about how Third Young Master Jun had quietly hijacked some of his critical upstream businesses, causing him to halt production, nearly breaching contract, and almost owing billions in compensation.
There are just some people in this world you cannot afford to offend.
Shang Jingchen followed his gaze and was taken aback to find it was Third Young Master Jun.
He was dumbfounded. The one who was manipulating everything behind the scenes, taking the presidential position right under his nose, was actually this man.
His rage was uncontrollable, his fists clenched.
Third Young Master Jun, from the very first glance, he had felt this man would be his enemy. His instincts were right after all.
He absolutely would not let it go!
