After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 309: Played like a fool by a woman and a child?

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Played like a fool by a woman and a child?

Li Jianbin’s face was stern and cold, his entire presence exuding an icy aura, reflecting his displeased mood in this moment.

He hadn’t expected that his always outstanding son would make such a low-level yet serious mistake. He spoke in a deep voice, "Wait for him!"

Li Jingtian sat at the first seat on the left, watching with amusement as the directors before him chattered loudly. A faint smile tugged at his lips, undetectable to most.

Although Ji Shiwang ultimately revealed the truth, Chen Bao had given him a massive surprise!

Maybe this time, it was the perfect opportunity to topple Li Lingyang...

He lowered his head, fiddling with his phone, then sent out a text message.

The screens of several directors immediately lit up, their meaning understood without words.

At that moment, the grand doors were pushed open from both sides, and a tall figure stepped inside.

Li Lingyang’s sharp, cold features appeared in everyone’s view. A powerful aura emanated from him, silencing the meeting room for a few seconds before dissipating.

The directors couldn’t contain themselves and began speaking.

"President Li, you’re finally here!"

"This time, our company lost such a huge project. You need to provide everyone with an explanation!!"

"Exactly! The company suffered losses of over ten billion. This is the most significant issue we’ve ever had since the group was founded... President Li, are you too exhausted lately? Maybe you need to take a break for a while??"

The implication was clear—they wanted to pull Li Lingyang down from his position as president.

Ever since Li Lingyang took the reins of Li Group, this group of old coots had been eyeing him like vultures, waiting for any opportunity to pounce on his mistakes.

Now, Chen Bao’s actions had handed them this chance.

As expected, once someone initiated the attack, it was like tearing open a dam, and others followed suit immediately...

"President Li is still young and inexperienced. Why not listen to Chairman Liu and take a good rest during this time?"

"At the end of the day, losing the electrical grid project is mainly due to President Li’s lack of capability. People must pay for the mistakes they make. I believe this time... we should follow the directors’ suggestion and dismiss President Li to set an example!"

"Chairman Wang is right. We shouldn’t let President Li off easily just because he’s Chairman Li’s son. Otherwise, in the future, everyone will emulate this behavior. If this continues, the company will descend into chaos!"

Li Jianbin watched the scene unfold, showing no intention of stepping in to help.

For the moment, all the pressure was piled onto Li Lingyang.

Li Lingyang seemed almost amused. He curled his thin lips into a sneer, scanning the gathered directors coldly. His voice was steady and deliberate.

"If I am removed, who do you intend to put in charge?"

"That’s not something President Li needs to worry about. There are plenty of outstanding talents within the board of directors..."

"Indeed, President Li should just focus on resting while the rest can be left to us to handle."

The directors, harboring ulterior motives, behaved as slippery as eels, avoiding direct statements and playing for time.

What a joke—nominating someone now would only expose their motives and alliances.

Li Lingyang listened to their words but didn’t react with anger. Instead, he laughed. "I’ve never denied my mistakes, but the error has already occurred. The company has suffered massive losses. What we should be doing now is salvaging the situation, not playing games of internal conflict!"

Chairman Liu refused to yield. "The other group has already canceled their cooperation with us. The money has been paid. Salvaging the situation now? It’s too late—impossible."

"Exactly! The core data has been leaked, and competitors have seized the opportunity. The other group is furious with us. Forget restoring cooperation; they’ve blocked all our contact!"

The directors largely agreed that the matter was beyond redemption.

Li Lingyang’s lips curled faintly as he spoke in an unhurried tone, "But the advantages of Li Group are unmatched by others!"

When it came to the prize he had his eye on, he never intended to let others take even a bite...

"I will resolve the electrical grid project!"

Upon hearing this, the other directors couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

Their group had violated trust first, leaked core data second, and infuriated their collaborators to the point of severed ties.

The other party had even vowed never to cooperate with Li Group again!

This project seemed entirely irreparable.

What a ridiculous proposition.

"Does President Li have a plan?" Li Jingtian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Li Lingyang did not deny it but said mildly, "If I fail in the end, you can reconvene the shareholders’ meeting and dismiss me then."

The directors’ expressions shifted slightly, each calculating internally.

Recovering the electrical grid project was clearly impossible; Li Lingyang’s removal was only a matter of time.

"Since Aling has said so, let’s give him some face and wait to see the final outcome," Li Jianbin interjected.

Truth be told, he didn’t want to lose this project either.

As for Li Lingyang...

He occasionally managed to surprise him.

The directors immediately fell silent.

However, unease flashed in Li Jingtian’s eyes, an ambiguous glimmer betraying hidden thoughts.

After the meeting ended.

The directors slowly left one after another with their assistants.

Li Jianbin knocked on the table lightly and said to Li Lingyang, "Come to my office!"

Li Lingyang had anticipated this and inclined his head slightly before following.

The chairman’s office was immaculate and orderly, featuring a coordinated set of wooden furniture. On the desk was a small decorative mountain with a faux waterfall cascading over it, connected to a tea set, exuding an antique charm.

Yet the atmosphere there was oppressive and stifling.

After a long pause, Li Jianbin finally broke the silence...

"Aling, I truly didn’t expect you would make such a simple mistake."

Li Lingyang didn’t offer many explanations, responding calmly, "I will take full responsibility for this incident."

"Take full responsibility? You say it so lightly. Don’t think I don’t know—a president of Li Group, played like a fool by a woman and a child? I must say, your mind really is clouded!"

Li Jianbin grew increasingly infuriated as he spoke.

Though he had relinquished power, he remained sharp and vigilant about every shift within Li Group.

Li Lingyang’s gaze grew cold as he thought about Ning Yichu and her son.

"Dad, watch your words. She’s your daughter-in-law, and he’s your grandson!"

Before Li Jianbin could erupt, Li Lingyang continued, "If Chen Bao managed to release those files from my hands, then credit his abilities. Over the years, I’ve owed them as mother and child. His resentment is understandable. As for the rest, I will handle it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

"You—"

Li Jianbin’s face flushed with rage, turning a deep shade as his anger boiled.

So, his son had been outwitted by a child and still felt proud?

After leaving the company, Li Lingyang directly returned to the family estate.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, he encountered an unwelcome guest...

Hui Yue was sitting on the living room carpet with Chengcheng and Doudou, playing with Lego blocks.

It was initially a warm and pleasant scene, but the moment Li Lingyang saw it, his face darkened ominously...
