Qin Wentian was somewhat stunned.
Su Chen seemed so vicious!
“Su Chen, don’t do anything rash! Although Tan Saicheng is only a deputy, he’s still a public figure!”
“If something goes wrong, you will become a public enemy. If that happens, you’ll have nowhere to hide!”
Qin Wentian hurriedly advised.
Su Chen’s thoughts were too frightening. He broke out in a cold sweat.
“Is that so…” Su Chen was in a difficult position.
…..
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “What about the Yao family from the provincial capital? Could they sway the Health Department?”
Qin Wentian replied, “Probably not. Although the Yao family in the provincial capital has had dealings with Bin Cheng, I don’t think they have that sort of influence.”
“Alright then. Mr. Qin, I’ll ask around!” Su Chen said.
“Sure!” Qin Wentian replied. “I’ll help you ask around too. Don’t be rash!”
Qin Wentian was truly frightened by Su Chen’s thoughts.
Su Chen hung up and wanted to call Yao Zhenfeng.
Suddenly, an unknown number called him first.
Su Chen answered.
An old voice came from the other end. “Young friend Su Chen, 1 am Li Xiaolai.”
“Why are you calling, Elder Li?” Su Chen asked lightly.
Lee Xiaolai could hear the coldness in Su Chen’s voice and quickly said, “Young friend, Su Chen, I’m sorry for what happened at my house yesterday. I want to compensate you. I heard what happened to you and the Zhou family!”
“I heard that Zhao Shijie, the son of Zhao Chongling, the richest man in Bin City, used the Health Department to make things difficult for Zhou Catering Group. I’m willing to solve the problem on your behalf. Would you find me meddlesome if I did?”
Su Chen was stunned.
Li Xiaolai was actually confident in solving this problem.
“The person who attacked Zhou Catering Group is Zhao Shijie, the son of the richest man in Bin Cheng. Elder Li, aren’t you afraid of offending the richest man in Bin Cheng?” Su Chen asked.
“Hahaha!” Li Xiaolai laughed.
“He’s just the richest man in Bin Cheng. I could’ve been that too.”
“If my son hadn’t messed up, 1 would’ve become the richest man in Bin Cheng instead of Zhao Chongling!”
Su Chen was stunned.
He really didn’t expect that Li Xiaolai used to be the richest man in Bin Cheng. No wonder he was so confident.
“Zhao Chongling has a good relationship with Tan Saicheng, but the head of the Health Department, Li Wandao, is my nephew! Mr. Su, why would I be afraid of him?”
Li Xiaolai’s tone held a little arrogance.
Su Chen smiled.
It was no problem for him.
He did not care about his reputation that much.
“If that’s the case, I’ll need you to do me this favor, Elder Li!” Su Chen said directly. “I owe you a favor. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask me for help!”
On the other end of the phone, Li Xiaolai smiled.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Su. You saved my family. I’m just returning the favor.” Li Xiaolai did not take the credit.
They hung up.
Su Chen returned to the meeting room with a faint smile.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaolai called his nephew, Li Wandao.
“Wandao, you have to take this seriously. It concerns the future of my family.”
Li Xiaolai instructed and hung up.
Only then did he relax and smile.
Li Chunran saw his father’s face and asked in confusion, “Dad, although this Su Chen is good at fighting, do we really need to please him so much?”
Hearing this, Li Xiaolai was furious!
Slap!
He turned around and slapped Li Chunran.
“How many times have I told you that you must be extremely respectful to Mr. Su Chen!”
“If it weren’t for him, our family would be reduced to ashes by now. Why haven’t you learned your lesson?”
“Make sure to treat capable people like Su Chen with the highest courtesy. Treat him with the same respect you treat me, understand?”
Li Chunran clutched his face and said aggrievedly, “Dad, 1 understand!”
“You understand my *ss!”
Li Xiaolai was so angry that he cursed. “If you had learned this earlier, we could’ve been the richest family in Bin Cheng. Now, we’re just the second richest!”
Li Chunran didn’t dare to make a sound.
Ambition but lack of talent was indeed his problem.
He had failed to help the Li family thrive.
“This time, Zhao Chongling offended Su Chen. Perhaps this is my chance to become the richest man in Bin Cheng again!”
Li Xiaolai’s eyes were filled with light.
Although Li Chunran didn’t believe that would happen, he stayed silent.
Zhou Catering Group…
In the conference room…
The shareholders were all talking at once.
“What exactly happened?”
“CEO Zhou, who is going against our company?”
Zhou Wanqiu, her grandfather, and her father looked at each other.
Helpless, she could only tell him that the Zhao family had made a move.
Instantly, all the shareholders and the middle and high-level leaders could not hold it in anymore!
“What? The richest man, Zhao Chongling, and his son, Zhao Shijie, are targeting our company? Then we’re doomed!”
“My net worth is tied up in the company’s shares. If the company collapses, I’ll go bankrupt too!”
All the shareholders were instantly flustered.
At this moment, Gao Renhuai stood up. “Everyone, the situation is very clear. Our company is finished. Everyone’s shares will be worthless soon!”
“1 think someone should take responsibility for this, right?”
Zhou Pingjiang glared at him. “Who are you suggesting?”
“Hehe!” Gao Renhuai said coldly. “You’re the chairman. Your daughter is the CEO. Your family holds the most shares in Zhou Catering Group!”
“Shouldn’t this responsibility belong to your family?”
“Shouldn’t you bear everyone’s losses?”
Zhou Rongchang said in a deep voice, “Then, Vice Chairman Gao, what do you think we should do?”
“I don’t have any brilliant ideas!” Gao Renhuai sneered. “1 just want your family to buy back my shares!”
He raised his voice and said, “1 want to withdraw my shares!”
The other shareholders reacted and quickly said, “Not bad! I want to withdraw my shares too!”
If they sold their shares to the Zhou family, they could still make some money.
…..
If Zhou Catering Group really collapsed, all the shares would go down the drain.
Zhou Wanqiu’s expression was ugly.
At a glance, more than 8o% of them shouted to withdraw their shares.
Other than a few die-hard supporters of the Zhou family, almost all the shareholders requested to withdraw their shares.
Zhou Rongchang’s expression was bitter.
“Everyone,” he said bitterly, “Our group was developing well. Back then, I never wanted to expand my shares. It was all of you who begged me to allow you to invest in Zhou Catering Group.”
“All these years, with these shares in your hands, not only have you made back your investment, but you have also earned a lot of money.”
“Now that the company has encountered some problems, everyone wants to withdraw their shares. 1 just want to ask you something. Do you have no conscience?”
The shareholders looked embarrassed and lowered their heads in silence.
As he spoke, Zhou Rongchang looked at an old man and said, “Hao Tiancong, Brother Hao! Back then, you encountered difficulties and wanted to sell your shares. 1 didn’t agree to let you withdraw your shares, but I lent you money to tide you over!”
“Later on, you relied on the dividends from your shares to pay back the money and even made a fortune. Are you going to withdraw your shares now?”
The old man, Hao Tiancong, was a little embarrassed.
Gao Renhuai saw this and said coldly, “Director Zhou, the business world is like a battlefield. Let’s look at the profits first. Don’t talk too much about emotions. If you guilt trip Mr. Hao like this, it only makes you seem desperate.”
Hearing this, Hao Tiancong straightened up and said, “That’s right!”
“Zhou Rongchang, you have helped me before and brought us many benefits.”
“But now, Zhou Catering Group is about to collapse. Don’t drag us down with your family.”
The other shareholders all agreed.
“Withdraw shares! Withdraw shares!”
“You guys…” Zhou Rongchang glared at them angrily!
At this moment…
The door suddenly opened.
“If you want to withdraw your shares, get over here!”
“I’ll let you all do it now!”
Su Chen pushed the door open. He was carrying a stack of documents.
In an instant…
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Su Chen.
“Didn’t you want to withdraw your shares in exchange for money?” Su Chen asked coldly. “I’ve prepared withdrawal letters for you.”
“Whoever wants to withdraw their shares, come and collect a withdrawal letter!”
“After you sign, 1’11 give you the money immediately.”
The meeting room was instantly silent..
