Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Turning Point of the Matter

As he reached the door, Qian Long suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Lin Wanqing with a smug expression, and said,

"Right, Director Lin, you better start packing your things. In three days, this office will be mine. I will move in immediately, and I hope by then you have cleared the place out for me, hahaha!"

Qian Long’s triumphant laughter filled the entire office.

"Oh? Is that so? I’m afraid it’s not necessarily the case!"

However, at that moment, a chilling voice came through.

Qian Long’s laughter came to an abrupt halt, and the smile on his face froze as he stiffly turned his neck to look back.

He saw two familiar figures walking toward him down the hallway.

Especially the black-clad figure, which caused Qian Long’s pupils to constrict, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

That black figure was none other than Chen Feng!

The other figure was naturally Wu Kun, who had gone to bring Chen Feng.

As soon as the two men entered the hallway, they heard Qian Long’s arrogantly loud laughter, which made both of their expressions turn cold.

"You... you came back!" Qian Long looked at Chen Feng with a hint of fear in his voice.

He was still somewhat afraid of Chen Feng.

After all, the skills Chen Feng displayed last time were very intimidating.

Qian Long worried Chen Feng might beat him up without any questions asked, and he wouldn’t stand a chance to fight back.

"What? It seems like Boss Qian is really scared to see me!" Chen Feng curled the corner of his mouth and said with a light smile.

"Hmph, scared of you? Don’t joke around!" Qian Long snorted contemptuously, puffing out his chest as he spoke with facade boldness.

"Not scared, huh? How about I treat you to something to eat then?" Chen Feng said, while clenching his fists and smiling.

"You... hmph, we’ll see about that!"

Qian Long’s expression changed, and he glared at Chen Feng with great reluctance, then hurriedly skirted past Chen Feng, almost fleeing the scene.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, Chen Feng might actually start throwing punches.

The memory of Chen Feng’s previous assault was still fresh in his mind, it was truly terrifying.

Only after Qian Long’s figure had completely disappeared at the end of the hallway did Chen Feng and Wu Kun enter the CEO’s office.

"Chen Feng, you came!"

Lin Wanqing and Lin Mengyao hurriedly greeted him.

"Sister Qing, are you alright?" Chen Feng glanced at Lin Mengyao, then immediately turned to Lin Wanqing with concern.

"I’m fine, Uncle Wu told you everything about the company, right?" Lin Wanqing shook her head and asked.

"Yeah, I’ve got the gist of it!" Chen Feng nodded.

"So, do you have any plan?"

Lin Wanqing and Lin Mengyao both looked at Chen Feng with expectant eyes, asking in unison.

"Not at the moment!" Chen Feng shook his head as he looked at the two sisters.

The two women felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

After all, they were at a complete loss and had placed all their hopes on Chen Feng.

It was natural for them to feel let down upon learning that Chen Feng had no solution either.

"Don’t worry for now, I need to understand the situation more carefully, including detailed information about the board of directors. I need to know it all!"

Chen Feng saw the two women looking so disheartened and said with a smile,

"I’ll go prepare the directors’ information right away!" Wu Kun finished speaking and hurriedly left the office.

Lin Wanqing then meticulously recounted the entire incident to Chen Feng.

Including Qian Long joining the board of directors, winning the support of several directors, and how Qian Long used the previous fake goods incident to pressure her into relinquishing the position of chairman—all was told to Chen Feng.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng furrowed his brows; it seemed the situation was much more difficult than he had imagined.

Because, from any angle, things were extremely unfavorable to Lin Wanqing.

Moreover, with only three days until the next board meeting, the timing was far too tight to turn the situation around.

Once three days passed, the position of chairman would fall into the hands of Qian Long.

And by that time, Lin’s Jewelry would bear the surname Qian.

Chen Feng’s brows were tightly knit as his mind rapidly whirred, contemplating a solution to the predicament.

Lin Wanqing’s biggest problem now was her lack of credibility within the board; the directors simply wouldn’t listen to her.

With just the shares she held, should the other directors unite, they could oust her at any time.

To resolve this situation, it was essential to find allies for Lin Wanqing within the board.

If a few directors were willing to stand on Lin Wanqing’s side, then at the next board meeting, she might be able to face off against Qian Long.

With this in mind, Chen Feng looked at Lin Wanqing and asked, "Sister Qing, I want to know, within Lin’s Jewelry’s board, is there any director who supports you?"

"There were some originally, but strangely, since Qian Long joined the board, most of the directors have sided with him, and the rest have remained neutral!" Lin Wanqing said, frowning.

"There’s nothing strange about it; it’s all about interests. If Qian Long can give them what they want, they will naturally flock to him!" Chen Feng explained.

"Yes, that’s true. But Qian Long’s Hua Tian Jewelry and Lin’s Jewelry are of comparable size; in theory, what he can offer, I can offer too. So why would they choose Qian Long?" Lin Wanqing asked, puzzled.

"Don’t just look at things on the surface, Qian Long isn’t as simple as he appears!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"You mean... there’s someone behind Qian Long providing guidance?" Lin Wanqing realized.

"Perhaps, but that issue can wait for exploration later. Let’s solve the problems at hand first," Chen Feng said.

"Yes!" Lin Wanqing nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Wu Kun walked into the chairman’s office carrying a thick stack of file folders.

These folders contained the personal information of the company’s directors.

After placing them all on the large desk, Chen Feng quickly stepped forward to look through them.

Lin Wanqing, Lin Mengyao, and Wu Kun stood quietly to one side, silently waiting.

Chen Feng swiftly reviewed the directors’ detailed information in the shortest time possible.

Eventually, Chen Feng’s eyes landed on the information of one particular director.

This director’s name was Zhou Zheng.

Of course, what caught Chen Feng’s attention was his status.

Zhou Zheng, deputy chairman of Lin’s Jewelry and the company’s second-largest shareholder, an absolute veteran presence.

His share of the stock was only second to the company’s former chairman, Lin Pengfei—father of Lin Wanqing and Lin Mengyao.

If he were to support Lin Wanqing on the board, then there might be a chance for a turnaround.

Thinking this, Chen Feng directly shared his thoughts with Lin Wanqing, Lin Mengyao, and Wu Kun.

He had thought the three would be overjoyed upon hearing his idea.

However, when Lin Wanqing, Lin Mengyao, and Wu Kun heard Chen Feng’s thoughts, their faces revealed a peculiar expression...
