Chapter 747: 742 such easy sinners

The management team quickly made a critical decision at this time.

"I think we should perhaps ask the chairman for his opinion on this matter," someone suggested.

It was the man who had first started to help Gu Chen verify his identity who spoke up.

After he said this, it seemed like none of the management paid much attention to the idea.

"I don’t think that’s necessary."

"There’s no need to trouble the chairman with such a trivial matter. I believe even if the chairman were here, he would probably agree with our decision. This 20% share was once from the initial shares and to have sold it for some cash today is already quite good," another one added.

"You know, so far, the amount of stock we have left in our hands is very, very little."

"That 20% could potentially affect many of our company’s future decisions."

Several shareholders quickly started plotting.

For them, Gu Chen was a considerable threat at that moment.

Because the 20% of the stock that Gu Chen held could endanger the company and their position within management.

The man always felt that something was not quite right after hearing the discussion.

If one were to talk about positions, Gu Chen’s was indeed not as high as those of the management, but holding 20% of the shares, he was the person with the most shares after the chairman.

From this perspective, given the power that Gu Chen currently held, at the very least, firing these few members of the management team should not be a problem.

The man was very cautious and careful, and he agreed with the few members of management on the surface.

After leaving the senior meeting room, he returned to his own position.

He picked up the phone.

Gu Chen on the other end of the line had been waiting for a long time.

He guessed that this man must have really gone to verify the information, unlike the front desk he had encountered earlier.

Because the time it took was so long, Gu Chen even started to get a bit annoyed.

When the man’s voice reemerged, Gu Chen instantly perked up.

"Mr. Gu Chen, we have verified that you indeed own a 20% share of our company; you are currently our second-largest shareholder."

He first conveyed this piece of information to Gu Chen.

Relieved to hear that he truly was a shareholder, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The 20% of the shares proved that the system had not deceived him.

He always felt that the system, no matter what, would not lie about such a thing.

After all, such a lie would be pointless.

"Mr. Gu, may I ask what instructions you have for us this time?" he said on the other end of the phone.

"It’s a small matter, not a big deal," Gu Chen replied.

After Gu Chen finished speaking, the man on the other end of the line, curious, asked, "I wonder, Mr. Gu, what might your instructions be? Please feel free to direct me."

He was very courteous to Gu Chen, for the situation was not yet clear as to whether Gu Chen would choose to sell his shares or not. If Gu Chen decided not to sell, it meant he could very well become his boss in the future.

At that moment, Gu Chen shared all of his thoughts with him.

He had specifically made the call for this very reason.

"The thing is, I currently own a liquor company, and due to some reasons, I can’t sell my liquor overseas. Therefore, I would like to use our company’s platform to sell my liquor," Gu Chen explained his needs.

The man on the other end of the telephone was taken aback by Gu Chen’s request.

He had wondered about the purpose of Gu Chen’s call—perhaps it was related to various complicated shareholding structures or the like.

But he had not anticipated that Gu Chen actually wanted to use the company’s platform to sell liquor.

Considering the company’s substantial influence, selling liquor with Gu Chen’s share of ownership wasn’t out of the question.

"Well, Mr. Gu, this matter is not something I can give you assurance on right away, as it’s no small issue.

I might need to report back to the management team first.

Only after the final results will we know whether your request can be approved.

While it’s true you’re a shareholder in our company, there are many matters that still require joint discussion," he respectfully conveyed to Gu Chen, not daring to make any rash decisions.

He was well aware of his status and position; a promise made too hastily could end up harming himself in the end.

"All right, then I’ll trouble you to inquire about it and see if it’s possible," Gu Chen said before he hung up the phone.

Then the man hurried upstairs.

He relayed the situation to the company management in full detail.

The management, upon hearing this, seemed to be quite unsatisfied.

"It’s not a major issue, but we can’t just give our consent lightly.

We need to realize that he’s suddenly using our company’s platform to sell his own company’s liquor.

What does this imply? It indicates that he’s making a subtle test to see whether he has any real power within our company," one of them pointed out.

"Exactly, I was thinking the same. His intention to sell liquor is secondary; his primary motive is to test how much authority he can wield in our company. Hence, we absolutely must not approve this," another agreed.

"Right, just reject him. Tell him that our company has its policies, and such actions contravene our rules—it simply cannot be done," they collectively decided to refuse outright.

Upon hearing this, the man’s face showed some hesitation—it seemed to be a risky move to antagonize someone so blatantly.

However, in the presence of the company’s senior management, he didn’t dare to speak out.

He was well aware that in front of these managers, he had no place to comment on the matter. So, for the moment, he could only nod and agree.

He then left the place.

But after he returned to his station, he hesitated for quite some time and eventually picked up the phone.

He made a call to the chairman of his own company.

It took almost half a minute for the call to be connected.

Finally, he explained the entire situation in detail to the chairman.

He was also nervously awaiting the chairman’s reply.

This concerned how he would interact with the management in the future.

Such upward reporting, bypassing immediate superiors, tends to be very negatively received and could easily offend people.
