Zhuang Li walked out of the darkness wearing a luxurious royal blue suit. After three days of self-isolation, he had lost a lot of weight, his face was almost transparent, and his narrow eyes were more unpredictable than ever.
While arranging his cufflinks, he whispered to Zhuang Dahai: “Dad, I’m sorry for worrying you these days. I’m going to the company to handle some things and will be back soon. You don’t have to move houses. I’ll buy a bigger one for you later.”
Zhuang Dahai sighed worriedly, then ran to the kitchen to get him a lunch box and asked him to take it to the road to eat. As for buying a bigger villa or something, he just thought that his son was talking nonsense in a pretentious manner.
Chang Dongming chuckled a few times without meaning before following Zhuang Li.
“Take me to the funeral parlor first.” After getting in the car, Zhuang Li ordered it as a matter of course.
Chang Dongming pretended not to hear and drove directly to the company.
Zhuang Li opened the car door and stepped out, not caring that the car was still moving.
Chang Dongming was startled, stepped on the brakes quickly, and turned around and growled: “You’re not afraid of death, are you? OK, I’ll take you there! You can only be proud of yourself for one day. Without Xuan Ming, who the hell will pamper you?”
Half an hour later, Zhuang Li was already standing in front of the black coffin, looking down at the man lying quietly among the white daisies. His face was still as handsome as before, and the two thick eyebrows that slanted into his temples were completely stretched at this moment, matching the smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was having an extremely sweet dream. It was just that this dream was too long, and he couldn’t wake up from it in this life.
Zhuang Li looked at his face seriously for the first time, and the warmth in his eyes kept rising, and turned into big tears.
He quickly turned his head away to prevent tears from falling on Xuan Ming’s face. It was said that if that happened, Xuan Ming’s soul would be burnt, and he would not be able to enter reincarnation.
Zhuang Li supported the sides of the coffin with both hands, leaned down and whispered in Xuan Ming’s ear: “Thank you. Also, I will definitely protect the things you left behind.”
Yes, protect everything related to Xuan Ming. This was the answer he reached after three days of meditation. Apart from this, he really couldn’t think of what else he could do for this person who no longer existed.
He stared at the smiling sleeping face for a long time, until the tears in his eyes dried, until the dull pain in his heart eased, and until there was no trace of confusion in his mind, then he took back his hand and turned around to leave.
Father Xuan, Mother Xuan, the old man, and the old lady stood on both sides and nodded to him but did not blame him. The autopsy report given by the forensic doctor also showed that Xuan Ming died of internal hemorrhage. No one could see the bloody muzzle behind his death except Zhuang Li.
The reason why the Lord God was called the Lord God probably stemmed from this ability to change the cause and effect in the world.
But there was no fear in Zhuang Li’s heart. On the contrary, when he walked out of the dark and cold funeral parlor, the twinkling light in his eyes was unprecedentedly firm.
….
More than an hour later, Zhuang Li opened the door of the conference room and walked slowly to his seat.
The venue was full of people. At the head was Yao Xin, the new president of Haiming Group. On his left and right sides were his confidants and major shareholders. Xuan Pei, who was sent by his family to attend the meeting, sat huddled in the corner, alone and unfollowed. Except for the 30% of the shares left by his brother, he had no bargaining chips.
Xuan Ming originally held 45% of Haiming Group’s shares and was the absolute majority shareholder. But a while ago, they didn’t know why he went crazy, and suddenly donated 15% of the shares to Zhuang Li for free, causing an uproar in the outside world.
Yao Xin forced Zhuang Li to attend today’s meeting, just for those 15% shares.
Seeing the main target coming, Yao Xin threw out a few folders and announced loftily: “Mr. Zhuang, this is the entry contract for Dr. Al and his team. Starting today, they are employed by Haiming Group and will fully take over all your current jobs. Since you are not in good condition, just suspend your work. I’ll understand your feelings.”
First, let someone take over Zhuang Li’s laboratory and force him to suspend his duties. Then he will investigate the specific conditions of the laboratory and find illegal operations, and then take him to court. The price of out-of-court settlement would be the 15% shares. At that time, he would lower the price to the lowest level.
This was Yao Xin’s overall plan. He firmly believed that Zhuang Li had no real talent and knowledge and would definitely have made mistakes in his work. As long as he grasped the opponent’s handle, all problems could be easily solved.
These unceremonious words made the conference room extremely quiet.
Xuan Pei looked at Zhuang Li worriedly. The others looked like they were watching the show.
Chang Dongming, who had been promoted to the chief secretary of the president, adjusted the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose to hide the ridicule in his eyes. Without real skills, Zhuang Li would not be able to stay in Haiming.
However, Zhuang Li, who was looked down upon by everyone, curled up his lips and smiled strangely.
He stretched out his arm, dragged the laptop of a shareholder next to him, exited all pages, inserted a memory card he had brought with him into the card reader, and operated with his fingertips for a while, and finally turned the screen to everyone, speaking in a casual tone: “I choose to suspend my position, and I also choose to stop licensing my patents to you.”
Everyone didn’t understand what he said at first, but after carefully looking at the information on the screen, their minds suddenly exploded.
Among the more than 3,000 patented technologies controlled by Haiming Group, 2,581 of them belonged to Zhuang Li personally! The nine most basic patents were also signed with his name!
In other words, he had the absolute power to terminate all cooperations with Haiming. Once Haiming lost the patents he authorized, the 5G network that cost tens of billions of dollars to build would become a pile of useless junk!
The Haiming Group, which could shake up the entire communications field with just a stomp of its feet, could be wiped out overnight!
Steal Zhuang Li’s shares? Nonsense!
Force Zhuang Li to resign? That was even more impossible!
In the end, everyone discovered that the person who could control Haiming’s life and death was not Yao Xin, not Xuan Pei, and not the shareholders, but Zhuang Li, who they had always ignored.
