“What does that mean? It means exactly what it says.”
Li Feng sneered. Fengyuan Group was his company. If he did not even have the right to call a company meeting, how could he control the company in the future?
“Mr Li, are you trying to dismiss us?” Huangfu Wei asked in a low voice.
“Are you forcing a palace coup?” Before Li Feng could speak, Xu Qing, who was standing behind him, could not help but step forward and say.
“Assistant Xu, it seems this is not your place to speak, is it?” Huangfu Wei sneered. This Xu Qing had only climbed into Li Feng’s bed and now spoke up for him. He held such people in great contempt.
Thinking of the attitude Xu Qing had shown when notifying her to attend the meeting earlier, and seeing her now with those seductive eyes, Huangfu Wei was an experienced person. How could she not know what had just happened?
Originally, Huangfu Wei had a good impression of Xu Qing. After all, like herself and Fang Xiao, Xu Qing was one of the first to follow Hu Yuanyuan. But Huangfu Wei had not expected that, with Li Feng’s appearance, Xu Qing would change.
At the last Fengyuan Group press conference, she had heard rumours about Li Feng and Xu Qing. Although Li Feng and Hu Yuanyuan claimed it was nonsense spread by someone, there is no smoke without fire. She did not believe Li Feng and Xu Qing were innocent. Perhaps the two really had got together.
After all, this was very common in modern society. Li Feng was young and wealthy. Those with weak willpower could probably be won over with just a little effort.
During this period, with Hu Yuanyuan absent from the company, Xu Qing had relied on Li Feng to issue orders in the company. In Huangfu Wei’s view, this was the behaviour of a mistress who had gained power.
So when Xu Qing spoke now, Huangfu Wei replied without any courtesy.
After glancing at Huangfu Wei, Li Feng said, “Did you not say that only President Hu can call company meetings? Very well, now I announce the removal of Hu Yuanyuan from the position of president. I will personally take over as company president.”
“Mr Li, you have no right.”
Huangfu Wei was about to say something when Li Feng interrupted with a cold laugh. “I have no right? I am the chairman of the company, holding fifty-one percent of the shares, with the highest decision-making power in the company. If I have no right, who does? You are all senior executives. Surely you cannot be ignorant of even this?”
Huangfu Wei and the others changed colour slightly.
“Now we continue the company meeting. Anyone who wishes to object, step forward.” Li Feng said coldly.
“Mr Li…” One senior executive stood up.
“You are dismissed from the company. Get out.” Li Feng said coldly before he could finish speaking.
“Mr Li, you…” The executive’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this.
“Security, please escort him out.” Li Feng pointed at the executive and said to the security guards outside the meeting room.
“Please leave, Manager Su.” Two company security guards approached the executive and said coldly.
“Li Feng, with you here, Fengyuan Group will sooner or later close its doors one day.” Manager Su gave Li Feng a cold look, then turned and left.
“Anyone else want to leave?” Li Feng’s gaze swept over each person.
When Li Feng’s eyes met theirs, they involuntarily lowered their heads. The recent wave of resignations had just passed. Those who wanted to leave had already gone. Those present now were the ones who did not wish to leave, and naturally did not want to oppose Li Feng and risk being fired.
“Since no one wishes to leave, let us continue the meeting. This time, the theme of our meeting is about maglev cars.” Li Feng began.
The entire meeting lasted half an hour. Half an hour later, watching the senior executives leave the meeting room one by one, a smile flashed in Li Feng’s eyes.
“Mr Li.” Huangfu Wei returned to the meeting room.
“Manager Huangfu, is there something?” Li Feng asked.
“Mr Li, I want to know if this matter about maglev cars is real.” Huangfu Wei asked.
“What do you think, Manager Huangfu? If it were false, do you think I would arrange to announce it in the meeting room? Nor would I have announced such news to the outside world before. The materials about maglev cars are now in the president’s office. Production will begin as soon as the equipment arrives.” Li Feng said with a smile.
“Really? That is wonderful. I believe that even without Intelligent One, with maglev cars, the company will reach new heights.” Huangfu Wei said with excitement.
“Who could disagree? So, Manager Huangfu, you need not worry about the company going bankrupt, because that is impossible.” Li Feng nodded and said.
“Then I am relieved.” Huangfu Wei said with a sigh of relief.
“So in the coming days, I must trouble Manager Huangfu to stabilise the mood in the company. I do not want the company’s morale to suffer any blows before then. So much has happened in the company recently. Now is the time when we all need to pull together through difficult times.” Li Feng said.
“Mr Li, rest assured, I will.” Huangfu Wei said this, paused, then added somewhat embarrassedly, “Mr Li, I am sorry about earlier. After all, the company has always been led by President Hu, so please forgive my rudeness to you.”
“Listen to you, Manager Huangfu. Am I the kind of petty person?” Li Feng smiled and said, not minding at all.
“How could Mr Li be such a person? Look at me, how silly.” Huangfu Wei said, patting her forehead.
Li Feng smiled.
“Xu Qing, I was wrong earlier. Tonight I will treat you to dinner, as an apology. How about that?” Huangfu Wei turned her gaze to Xu Qing.
“Manager Huangfu, listen to you. I did not take the earlier matter to heart.” Xu Qing shook her head and said, “As for dinner, there is no need.”
“Xu Qing, are you still unwilling to forgive me?” Huangfu Wei asked.
“Manager Huangfu, what are you saying? Am I a petty person? I simply have no time tonight.” Xu Qing shook her head.
“I see. Then another time.” Huangfu Wei said.
With that, Huangfu Wei left the meeting room. Watching her departing figure, Li Feng smiled and said, “I did not expect Manager Huangfu to be so polite.”
“Mr Li, Manager Huangfu has always been like this. She is very serious about work. Normally she is a very good person and has taken good care of me.” Xu Qing said.
“Haha, I did not expect you to evaluate Huangfu Wei so highly, Xu Qing.” Li Feng smiled, reached out to embrace Xu Qing’s waist, and said, “Then what are your evaluations of the other senior executives in the company?”
“Fang Xiao in the finance department is quite serious. He…” Xu Qing began to comment on each of the senior executives one by one.
Li Feng listened quietly. He had read intelligence reports on the senior executives countless times, but reading reports was one thing, hearing Xu Qing speak was another.
After Xu Qing had commented on all the senior executives, Li Feng said, “Xu Qing, there is one you have not mentioned.”
“Who else?” Xu Qing looked puzzled.
Li Feng pulled Xu Qing into his arms, smiled, and said, “Of course it is you. Tell me, what kind of person are you?”
“Me?” Xu Qing was stunned.
“Yes, you are the president’s assistant. Does that not make you a senior executive? Xu Qing, come on, tell me what kind of person you are.” Li Feng said with a smile.
“Do you really not know what kind of person I am?” Xu Qing gave Li Feng a reproachful look. She had become more open in front of him now. Moreover, she felt there was no need to be reserved with Li Feng. He was the kind of lawless person. Even if she tried to be reserved, if he wanted to do something, she could not stop him.
“I only know that you…” Li Feng whispered two words in Xu Qing’s ear.
“You are annoying. How can you describe me like that?” Xu Qing blushed and pinched Li Feng.
Li Feng laughed loudly, then said, “Is it not true? I just experienced your charms earlier.”
“Annoying, you only know how to bully me.”
Li Feng teased Xu Qing playfully for a while, then said, “Xu Qing, go to the hospital tomorrow evening to visit Yuanyuan.”
“Ah, tomorrow evening.” Xu Qing’s expression changed slightly.
“Yes, tomorrow evening.” Li Feng felt these days were for dealing with Blood Shadow at Fengyuan Group. He was worried about Xu Qing’s safety. If she went to the hospital to be with Hu Yuanyuan, perhaps Jin Songyang’s people could protect her. Moreover, he thought Hu Yuanyuan and Xu Qing should have a proper talk. After all, they both knew of each other’s existence. Continuing to hide it like this was not a solution.
“But…” Worry filled Xu Qing’s eyes. Although Li Feng had told her that Hu Yuanyuan knew about her and Li Feng, facing Hu Yuanyuan still made her heart uneasy.
If this were ancient times, her going to see Hu Yuanyuan now would be like a concubine meeting the principal wife. In modern terms, it was the mistress meeting the official wife. Moreover, before this, she had been Hu Yuanyuan’s subordinate. This made her even more unsure how to face Hu Yuanyuan.
“There are no buts. Do you not want to be openly with me?” Li Feng said.
“Li Feng, why not come with me?” Xu Qing hesitated and said.
“Come with you?” Li Feng shook his head and said, “I have other matters tomorrow evening, so I cannot go with you.”
“Then in a few days?” Xu Qing said.
“Xu Qing, avoidance solves nothing. Moreover, Yuanyuan knows about our relationship. If you go too late, I am afraid her impression of you will worsen.” Li Feng said gravely.
“I, I…” Xu Qing looked conflicted. How could she not know Li Feng was right, but she really did not know how to face it.
“Alright, listen to me. There is no mistake in that. If you are worried about not knowing how to face Yuanyuan, I will teach you a method.” Li Feng said.
“What method?” Xu Qing asked quickly.
Li Feng whispered a sentence in Xu Qing’s ear, then said, “Just do as I say. There might be a surprise.”
Xu Qing’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she finally nodded.
