#144 - Chapter 144 Completely Broken Relations with the Zhao Family

After dinner, Xu Guofeng and Xu Mengyao left.

They went to the company.

Xu Mengyao had many things to hand over at the company. However, Xu Mengyao wouldn't just wash her hands of everything; she would continue to be responsible for a portion of the company's business.

With Xu Guofeng handling most of the matters, Xu Mengyao would have much more free time, which she could spend on her family.

"Chairman."

"President."

When Xu Guofeng and Xu Mengyao arrived at the company, everyone greeted them.

"Meeting for managers and above in half an hour."

Xu Guofeng dropped this sentence.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Xu Guofeng and Xu Mengyao arrived at the meeting room. Xu Guofeng said, "Hu Jie, Ma Yuhe, you don't need to attend."

"You can resign yourselves."

Hu Jie and Ma Yuhe's expressions changed. Hu Jie quickly said, "Why are you firing us? What did we do wrong?"

Xu Guofeng said coldly, "Recently, there have been rumors in the company saying that President Xu and Lin Chen are in a fake marriage. The source of the rumors is you, am I wrong?"

Ma Yuhe argued, "We were gossiping and someone accidentally overheard us. We didn't do it on purpose. Chairman, you can't fire us because of this."

Xu Guofeng: "Your malicious slander has had a negative impact on President Xu and the company. Leave immediately, or I will have the legal department pursue the matter to the end."

"Your past will be thoroughly investigated."

The two women's expressions changed slightly.

They silently packed their things and left.

They were from the Zhao family faction and usually engaged in small actions. In the past, Xu Guofeng was too lazy to bother with them.

This time, they even helped to slander Xu Mengyao.

Some of their past actions couldn't withstand a thorough investigation.

Xu Guofeng's gaze swept over everyone: "Next, I will announce some personnel adjustments."

Someone stood up and said, "Chairman, Vice President Zhao is not here. Is it appropriate to make personnel adjustments now?"

Xu Guofeng looked at the person.

This person was also from Zhao Huaiyuan's faction.

"I will convene a board meeting later. For company strategic considerations, Vice President Zhao's position will also be adjusted."

"Do you have any other opinions?"

He couldn't directly dismiss Zhao Tianyou now, but he could convene a board meeting.

"Chairman, I... I have no objections."

The person who stood up said with a somewhat flustered expression.

Xu Mengyao then spoke, "Chairman Xu, Manager Lu's abilities in all aspects are still good. Manager Lu, work hard, and the company will not mistreat you."

The person who stood up was called Lu Xinchang.

His expression changed slightly.

Xu Mengyao's meaning was very clear. He had to choose a side. If he chose to support the Xu family, he wouldn't be adjusted. If he didn't support them, he would definitely not have a good time in the future.

The Xu family and the Zhao family were starting to fight.

"The Xu family holds 51% of the shares. The Zhao family can't win. It's not safe for me to follow Zhao Huaiyuan."

"I might not even be able to afford the mortgage."

Lu Xinchang thought to himself.

He had spent a lot of money buying a large house with a loan.

"Chairman, I support the company's decision."

Lu Xinchang took a deep breath and said.

The expressions of some people from the Zhao family faction changed slightly. Lu Xinchang was a backbone of the Zhao family faction, but he actually sided with the Xu family. The Zhao family's situation was dangerous.

The meeting continued.

Xu Guofeng wielded a big stick, while Xu Mengyao held a carrot. Stubborn elements were directly beaten to death with a stick, while some people were won over by Xu Mengyao with a carrot.

The meeting ended two hours later.

Zhao Huaiyuan rushed to the company.

During the meeting, he called Xu Guofeng, but Xu Guofeng's phone was on silent and he didn't answer.

"Xu Guofeng, what do you mean by this? You're moving my people while I'm not here?"

Zhao Huaiyuan said angrily when he arrived at Xu Guofeng's office.

Xu Guofeng frowned: "Vice President Zhao, what do you mean by 'your people'? Are you saying you're forming small cliques in the company?"

"Brother Xu, it's only natural that Tianyou wants to be with Mengyao. You don't need to retaliate against us like this, right?"

Zhao Huaiyuan looked like he was suppressing his anger.

His phone in his pocket was recording at this moment.

Xu Guofeng: "Vice President Zhao, I'm doing this for the good of the company. There is absolutely no element of retaliation."

"Some people haven't been doing well in the past two years that I haven't been in charge. Naturally, they should be adjusted, don't you think?"

"We'll hold a board meeting in a few days. We'll discuss some things in detail at the board meeting."

Zhao Huaiyuan's expression was gloomy.

"Brother Xu, do we have to go to this point? We worked hard together to develop the company."

"Now you want to kick me away?"

Xu Guofeng: "Vice President Zhao, as chairman, I have to consider the interests of the company. The money you've earned over the years is enough for you to live comfortably for ten lifetimes."

"Good, good, good!"

Zhao Huaiyuan gritted his teeth: "Xu, you want to kick me away. I'll see if you have the ability to do so."

After speaking, Zhao Huaiyuan left in anger.

Soon, Xu Mengyao arrived at Xu Guofeng's office.

"Dad, what did Zhao Huaiyuan say?"

Xu Guofeng: "What else could he say? He was angry. But I estimate that his anger was partly acting. He may have turned on the recording, wanting me to say something."

"If they come to you, be careful what you say."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

"Dad, can the board vote pass? Our Xu family only controls half of the seats on the board. It requires a two-thirds vote to pass."

The number of board seats is not equal to the shareholding ratio.

But generally, the difference is not large.

Xu Guofeng said, "Try to get their support. It's not appropriate for Zhao Huaiyuan to continue to stay in the company."

"It's better to clean things up neatly."

Xu Mengyao: "Dad, did you invite those shareholders to the gathering tomorrow? We can chat during the gathering."

"I invited them all."

Xu Guofeng nodded.

A few hours later, Xu Mengyao returned home.

Xu Guofeng returned to his own home, and Yang Qingyue went back.

"Husband, today Dad directly broke face with the Zhao family in the company. Some people from the Zhao family faction were fired, and some were adjusted."

Xu Mengyao said as she ate dinner with Lin Chen.

It was a bit late, and Lin Xiaoxi had already finished eating.

Lin Chen was waiting for Xu Mengyao to eat together.

"So fast?"

Lin Chen said in surprise.

Xu Mengyao: "Dad didn't originally plan to break face so quickly, but they hurt Xiaoxi, and Dad is very angry."

"Dad is also going to convene a board meeting to dismiss Zhao Huaiyuan."

Lin Chen said, "Requires two-thirds of the people to agree?"

"Yes."

"That's how the company's articles of association are."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

Lin Chen said, "Zhao Huaiyuan will definitely try to win over others. If he fails, it will reduce Uncle Xu's prestige."

"Uncle Xu can't be careless about this matter."

Xu Mengyao: "Dad will communicate with them tomorrow. Dad invited some people to come to our house tomorrow night."

"We'll go over tomorrow night too."

Lin Chen nodded: "I'll pick you up from work with Xiaoxi tomorrow."

"Okay."

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Lin Chen was playing doctor toys with Lin Xiaoxi. She quite liked playing this. Sometimes she would play for two or three hours a day. Lin Chen naturally accompanied her throughout.

He could gain Western medicine experience from playing this.

He first obtained the ancient medical skills, but his Western medicine skills improved faster.

"Host, your Western medicine skills have improved to the grandmaster level."

The system sound rang in Lin Chen's mind.

A lot of information also poured into Lin Chen's mind.
