My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 223 - 222 Why Should We Mature (4/4)

Liu Chengpeng stared at Yang Chen, sensing an unprecedented danger from him.

He knew that this Yang Chen was probably the biggest trouble he had encountered so far.

After a long pause, Liu Chengpeng sneered coldly and said, "Yang Chen, you should clearly see the current situation."

Liu Zekai was about to get up from the ground when Liu Chengpeng shouted, "Stay down and don’t move!"

Liu Zekai was so scared that he immediately lay back down, not daring to move.

Liu Chengpeng said, "Look, you’ve given my son a concussion, maybe something even worse. How do you think this should be resolved?"

Yang Chen responded with a cold laugh, "He still remembers things with a concussion. Since you’re going to cause trouble for me anyway, why not just make him stupid directly?"

"You!" Liu Chengpeng was furious, pointing at Yang Chen.

Liu Chengpeng thought for a moment and decided to shift the focus to Wei Xueqing.

He stared at Wei Xueqing and said, "Xueqing! Do you know what you’re doing right now? Your father just passed away, and I’m here to take charge. Are you really going to cause trouble with me like this?"

Wei Xueqing snorted, "You’re taking charge? Ha! Who gave you the authority?"

"Of course, the board did!" Liu Chengpeng looked at the shareholders and said, "Isn’t that right, everyone?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" someone shouted, "Of course, Liu Chengpeng is the chairman now; he’s the one with the most shares!"

Wei Xueqing looked at the person, whose name was Liu Heng, a cousin of Liu Chengpeng’s, introduced to the company by Liu Chengpeng. Later, he acquired some shares and joined the board, essentially siding with Liu Chengpeng.

"Liu Heng! Can you speak with a conscience?" Wei Xueqing angrily retorted, "Who brought you in despite your lack of experience and qualifications? Who has been grooming you all these years? Who helped you rise up?"

"Of course, it was Brother Peng!" Liu Heng responded blandly.

Another person couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up, "Liu Heng! Don’t lie with your eyes open. Everyone knows how Old Wei treated you; saying these things won’t save you from being struck by lightning!"

"Sorry, I really don’t understand what you’re saying!" Liu Heng was all set to play dumb.

Watching this, Yang Chen sneered internally.

Wei Xueqing was about to say something when Yang Chen stopped her, looking directly at Liu Heng. "Very unfortunately, if we divide according to shares, I think Wei Xueqing should have the most shares here."

Everyone looked at Yang Chen, puzzled about how he did the math. How could Wei Xueqing have more shares than Liu Chengpeng?

"Initially, Wei Xueqing only had two percent of the shares; everyone should be aware of this. Uncle Zhong had forty-nine percent of the shares. Now thirty-nine percent of those shares were divided, leaving ten percent. Based on inheritance, Wei Xueqing now has twelve percent of the shares, while the most anyone else here has is Liu Chengpeng with ten percent. Hence, Wei Xueqing holds the most shares!" Yang Chen said.

Liu Chengpeng laughed coldly, "You’re wrong. I still have thirty-nine percent of the shares; those shares belong to me now!"

Yang Chen said indifferently, "The gold will be returned to you! The shares still belong to Wei Xueqing!"

"You should really take a look at that agreement. It clearly states that only Wei Qingzhong’s personal signature is valid. Now that he’s not here, the shares are mine!" Liu Chengpeng said coldly.

"Then let’s go through the legal process. Before the verdict is reached, those shares are still not yours!" Yang Chen sneered, "So, the largest shareholder is still Wei Xueqing!"

Yang Chen grabbed Wei Xueqing’s hand and looked at the shareholders, "So, you all need to think carefully about which side you should stand on!"

After speaking, Yang Chen directly pulled Wei Xueqing away.

Wei Xueqing was completely taken aback, caught off guard by Yang Chen suddenly grabbing her hand, feeling as if she was electrocuted.

It was only when Yang Chen brought Wei Xueqing to the CEO’s office that he let go of her hand and said sternly, "This matter should proceed just as I mentioned earlier: let the lawyers handle it, stall them! The evidence I’ve found will surely humiliate Liu Chengpeng!"

A fierce glint flashed in Yang Chen’s eyes, determined to avenge Wei Qingzhong!

Wei Xueqing blushed slightly, nodding, "Hmm, I understand."

Yang Chen sighed and said, "You get busy; I’ll also go handle my resignation formalities."

With that, Yang Chen prepared to push the door open and leave.

"Wait!" Wei Xueqing quickly called out to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen stopped, turned around, and scrutinized Wei Xueqing, frowning, "What? Are you hurt?"

Wei Xueqing, feeling uneasy under Yang Chen’s scrutinizing gaze, shook her head and shrank slightly, "No... I just wanted to say, you don’t necessarily have to resign. Now... my father just passed away... I don’t have anyone I can really trust in the entire group. Could you stay and help me? Not that you need to come to work, but just assist me when I call you."

Yang Chen frowned for a while.

Wei Xueqing’s words were true; in this situation, she needed help more than ever.

But Yang Chen still refused, "No, I think it’s better if I go through with the resignation formalities."

Wei Xueqing was stunned, frowning as she stared at Yang Chen, "Why?"

Yang Chen sighed and seriously looked into Wei Xueqing’s eyes, "I know this is the toughest time for you, when you most need help. But I also know it’s when you should endure and take responsibility the most. It’s your time to grow rapidly. I’ve told you before, you’re excellent, but not mature. True maturity comes after experiencing failure and setbacks. You’ve been cared for so well since childhood, not having faced much adversity. This hardship, you need to bear it yourself!"

With that said, Yang Chen saw Wei Xueqing start to cry.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Chen added, "If there’s truly a hurdle you can’t overcome, come find me!"

Having said that, Yang Chen pushed open the door and left.

The moment Yang Chen left, Wei Xueqing’s tears flowed.

"How could I not know! Who asked you to lecture me about these principles! I’m not afraid of hardship! I’m not afraid of challenges, just want someone to be with me! Why, why does it have to be this way?" Wei Xueqing slowly slumped to the ground, crying without concern for her image.

Outside, Zhou Lan heard the commotion, pushed the door open, and was shocked to see Wei Xueqing crying on the ground. She quickly helped Wei Xueqing up.

"President Wei, what’s wrong with you?" Zhou Lan was truly scared, never having seen Wei Xueqing like this before.

No matter what difficulties she faced, Wei Xueqing had never acted this way. Even over the past few busy days, working late into the night, she’d never shown such distress.

Wei Xueqing stood up, wiped her tears, and asked Zhou Lan, "Why do you think people need to mature?"

Zhou Lan thought about it and replied with a wry smile, "Obviously for oneself. After graduation, no one helps you shoulder responsibilities or shields you. You must mature so you can weather life’s storms."

Wei Xueqing paused and looked at Zhou Lan, "You don’t have a boyfriend, do you?"

Zhou Lan shook her head.
