The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 215 - 215 214 One Act Play

215: Chapter 214 One Act Play 215: Chapter 214 One Act Play Xie Huan made his way to Xie Dan’s study as if he knew the place by heart, opened the door, and walked right in, only to feel a surge of disdain upon seeing his aunt sitting at the desk.

Xie Dan, seated behind the desk, had a peachy complexion with eyes brimming with a spring-like allure, a flirtatious silkiness lingering after having been well pampered, wearing a silk robe lazily looking at Xie Huan.

Had she not been advanced in age, she certainly could have charmed a horde of men to death.

Initially, Xie Dan appeared as a person who had been scolded, but upon seeing her disappointing nephew enter, she immediately changed her expression, slapped the desk with a “bang!” and sat up, glaring at Xie Huan as she said, “Humph!

Useless thing!

If I hadn’t called for you, would you even have thought to come back?!”

Already accustomed to being reprimanded, Xie Huan reacted to these words with growing resentment, bubbling up like rising water, though outwardly, he maintained an indifferent demeanor and retorted with a smack of his lips, “Well, here I am, aren’t I?”

“What kind of attitude is that?

Do you realize how big a mistake you’ve made?

Five percent of the shares—do you even know how much that is?!

If that Liu Hun sides with Hu Qingdie from now on, what say would we have in any decision-making?!” Xie Dan said, infuriated, her temper would have been even more explosive had she not already vented fiercely to Lin Hongsheng earlier.

“It’s already happened; killing me won’t change anything,” Xie Huan said with a tilt of his head, resignedly, then he asked, “What do we do now?”

“Humph!

You even know to ask what to do?” Xie Dan coldly responded.

After a long silence where Xie Huan didn’t utter a word, she finally calmed down, sat back down, and said, “Hong Sheng has already thought of a plan.

He will make a move against Hu Qingdie at the board meeting tomorrow.

If successful, we can still turn the situation around!”

“What’s the plan?!” Xie Huan suddenly perked up, deeply interested in such scheming and devious tricks.

Xie Dan glanced at Xie Huan with contempt and said, “You don’t need to ask about that; just make sure you behave yourself.”

Not telling me?

I don’t even want to hear it!

Screw this!

Xie Huan thought angrily, standing up and heading out, but Xie Dan stopped him.

“Wait!

There’s another thing!” Xie Dan called out to Xie Huan and continued in a more steady tone, “I’ve discussed with Hong Sheng, if we manage to push Hu Qingdie out this time, we’ll recommend him as the chairman.

And…

transfer the remaining five percent of your shares to him.”

Xie Huan’s eyes widened in anger, just about to erupt, but heard Xie Dan say, “As long as Hu Qingdie is out, you’ll continue to have good days.

I’ll allocate some of her decision-making power to you.”

Hearing this, which sounded like tossing crumbs to a beggar, Xie Huan sneered internally, his anger turning into bubbles churning in the gutter, all carrying malice as he threw down a remark, “Let’s talk about it after that Lin guy succeeds!” With that, he slammed the door and left.

The Imperial City Building, which housed the Hu Group’s headquarters in Yuhua City, stood as a landmark.

Towering like an obelisk directly into the sky, it was situated in the busiest and most prosperous district, like an emperor surveying the entire city, undoubtedly a symbol of status and wealth.

Naturally, this board meeting was a high-profile event for the entire Hu Group.

Following the wine tasting event, because of Xie Huan’s overconfidence, a loss of five percent of the shares had disturbed the balance between the two factions, leading to Hu Qingdie’s faction rapidly gathering forces to plan this board meeting, aiming to leverage their share advantage to suppress Xie’s faction.

The heavily guarded garage of Imperial City Building, reminiscent of a car exhibit, was packed with world-renowned sedans.

This lower second floor was reserved for the executives of the board, not accessible to ordinary people.

A Porsche 911 halted at the entrance of the garage, the security looked at the license plate without any recognition.

Although the car was a luxury vehicle, rules were rules, and just as he approached the car, the window rolled down.

“Oh!

It’s assistant Huang!” the security greeted Huang Zishan with a smile.

“What brings your car here?

Did you take a wrong turn?”

Huang Zishan took off her sunglasses, her stunningly beautiful face capable of captivating any crowd, and said coldly to the security, “I didn’t take the wrong turn.

This is exactly where I intended to come!”

The security laughed awkwardly and said, “Assistant Huang, we are just following the rules here, please don’t make it difficult for us.”

Huang Zishan stepped aside and pointed to the person beside her, “Do you recognize him?”

The security was momentarily taken aback, his face flashing through countless complex expressions before settling on one of utter shock, and quickly nodded, “This… Isn’t this Mr.

Guan!

We’ve heard about what you did at the wine tasting event at our security department!

We really look up to you!”

“Flattered!

Can you say hello to the guys for me?

And…

can my car be parked here?” Liu Hun asked directly to the security.

“Now that you are a major shareholder, how could we not let you park here!

Please come in!

Anyone who dares to stop you will have to answer to me!” The security showed utmost respect to Liu Hun and immediately opened the electronic barrier letting Liu Hun’s car in.

“I can’t believe how effective your name is at Hu Group!” Huang Zishan said to Liu Hun as she drove, pride filling her eyes as if it were her own accomplishment.

Liu Hun, somewhat puzzled, asked, “Why do we have to park on the second basement level?”

“Because only the elevator from the second basement level can go directly to the top floor where the board meeting is held, apart from a helicopter.

Otherwise, you can’t get up there at all!” Huang Zishan explained as she expertly parked the car, then patted the steering wheel with a sigh, “Ah, I really don’t want to return this rental car.

When can I own my own?”

“Let’s go!

Work hard, and I’ll buy you one within a year,” Liu Hun said casually as he got out of the car.

“Really?!

Hey, hey, wait for me!

You better not be lying to me!” Huang Zishan’s face lit up with joy as she hopped to Liu Hun’s side, grabbing his arm and shaking it incessantly, apparently not fearing dislocation.

It took Liu Hun some effort to quiet down Huang Zishan, who was chirping like a magpie, and they both took the elevator to the top floor of the Imperial City Building.

Indeed, just as Huang Zishan had described, the elevator went directly to the rooftop of the Imperial City Building without any stops.

“Ding!” As the elevator doors opened, what appeared before them resembled a European palace, complete with sculptures, paintings, and a fountain garden.

One could hardly imagine such a scene atop a skyscraper without seeing it in person.

“All these sculptures and paintings are authentic pieces acquired from private collectors and museums around the world!

This painting by Cezanne is my favorite!

And this one!” Huang Zishan’s eyes nearly popped out in amazement at the artwork in front of her.

Liu Hun, on the other hand, showed little interest in these naked artifacts.

Scanning them with a quick glance, he found nothing to his taste, and with a disdainful curl of his lip, he thought to himself, “Someday when I reach the top, I’ll replace the foreign styles with the ancient!”

Huang Zishan had no idea what Liu Hun was thinking.

Even if she knew, she would think it improbable for him to achieve it.

For a farmer to acquire 5% of Hu Group’s shares was already a stroke of incredible luck and ability, let alone swallowing the whole Hu Group—such a thought was pure fantasy.

Since the rooftop was a crucial place for discussing corporate resolutions, all the miscellaneous personnel like security were confined to the underground parking lot, leaving the top as tranquil as a monastery.

Thus, they easily reached the conference room.

“Squeak!” The door to the conference room slowly opened.

All the sitting directors immediately turned their heads, each wondering who else might arrive and how.

Dressed in a casual yet unconventional suit, one hand in his pants pocket, the other making a “hello” gesture, and a mouth curled into a defiant and frivolous smile, Liu Hun walked confidently into the room, exuding an air of unmatched arrogance and a demeanor that seemed to single-handedly uphold the universe.

“Gu, Xian!” Xie Huan gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead as he stared intensely at Liu Hun.

Apart from Xie Huan’s anger, all directors including Hu Qingdie and Xie Dan were shocked by Liu Hun’s appearance, completely unprepared for his sudden arrival.

Wang, the director nicknamed “Mr.

Know-It-All” who was chubby and rolly-polly, couldn’t help but frown.

He vividly remembered being outsmarted by Liu Hun at a wine tasting event, making Liu Hun an unpredictable risk factor worth being wary of.

“Long time no see!

I’m a shareholder so I suppose I have the right to attend this board meeting, right?” Liu Hun declared as he pulled over a chair to the table and sat down nonchalantly.

The room full of plotting and scheming elites had never seen the likes of Liu Hun.

They thought Xie Huan was unconventional, but now here was Liu Hun breaking even more rules, inserting himself into the proceedings uninvited!

Since no one knew whose side Liu Hun was on or his intentions, and they hadn’t dealt with someone who had shone so brightly at a wine tasting event before, no one dared to address this vexing intrusion.

Seeing Huang Zishan, Hu Qingdie quickly waved her over.

Huang Zishan had been with Hu Qingdie long enough to understand her gesture and promptly walked over.

“What brings you here?” Hu Qingdie asked Huang Zishan.

Leaning closer, Huang Zishan whispered, “Chairman, I came with Liu Hun to help you.

Someone is trying to harm you.”

“Trying to harm?” Hu Qingdie frowned, not understanding what Huang Zishan meant.
