Chapter 305 - 305 284 Showtime

305: Chapter 284: Showtime 305: Chapter 284: Showtime “Executive Liu, what on earth are you up to?

This is a board meeting, not a place for tricks!” Lin Hongsheng shouted at Liu Hun, his nerves fraying the less he understood what Liu was planning.

“Ladies and gentlemen…

show time!”

As soon as Liu Hun finished speaking, the staff picked up the bottoms of the sacks and poured them out onto the table.

“Swoosh!”

Cordyceps covered the conference table, countless in number.

“Liu Hun!

Is this a place for performing?

What’s the point of showing off these cordyceps?

Who can’t afford them?

This is ridiculous!

I strongly demand the removal of Liu Hun from his executive director position!” Lin Hongsheng rambled on like a buffoon.

“Fifteen centimeters!

All of them are fifteen centimeters!” Liu Hun casually picked up a cordyceps and showed it to Lin Hongsheng.

“So what!” Lin Hongsheng initially didn’t react.

“Ha ha ha!” Cui Chengpeng suddenly burst into laughter, raising a cordyceps and loudly said, “Vice Chairman Xie just said three times that her so-called twelve-centimeter premium cordyceps only yield a hundred annually.

Look, everyone, at how many are on this table!

And every single one is fifteen centimeters!”

Liu Hun suddenly slammed his hands onto the table, stood up with a commanding aura, and loudly declared, “Top-tier products are sharp weapons!

With a good tool in hand, attack!

Nothing cannot be broken!

War!

Nothing cannot be won!

Everything is advantageous!”

“Please, directors, raise your hands to vote!” said Liu Hun, eyeing those billionaires who wielded immense power in the business world with a sharp gaze.

At that moment, standing at the highest echelon of the Hu Group, it was crystal clear who was sovereign and who was a subject; all the directors, including Hu Qingdie, had only one thing to do—bow down in submission!

“Good!

Liu Hun!

Good!” Cui Chengpeng was so excited he almost shouted.

He had finally waited for this moment, for so many years, even more thrilling than when he first met the old chairman.

“As the wind follows the tiger and the clouds follow the dragon, at this moment, Cui Chengpeng had made up his mind to follow Liu Hun.

Lin Hongsheng was so intimidated that he had become like a patient in the third stage of dementia, completely unaware of where Liu Hun’s momentum had come from; he felt his only option was to prostrate himself on the ground.

At that instant, Xie Dan actually saw the shadow of her deceased husband in Liu Hun, and she even felt a bit frightened.

Barely stabilizing her mindset, she was not willing to admit defeat just like that.

She knew if she lost this battle, there would never be another chance!

“Wait!” gasped Xie Dan as she stood up, finding it hard to resist Liu Hun’s force, “Fake!

I suspect these cordyceps are counterfeit.

And!

It’s very likely these are all the output!

Such production isn’t enough for the corporation to take such a huge risk!”

Leaving you breathing room is merciful, but if you continue to bite, it’s your fault, thought Liu Hun, as he gestured to Qian Miao behind him.

Qian Miao immediately came over, presenting a report that had already been prepared, and said, “After verification by our team, all the cordyceps present are one hundred percent genuine.

Moreover, after on-site inspection, we concluded that the annual production of Single Worm Grass from Wanbao Village alone can support fifteen percent of Green Power Pharmaceutical’s profit margin.”

“Any objections?” Liu Hun asked Xie Dan.

“Ssshhh!”

Xie Dan seemed to hear the sound of her last fig leaf being ripped to shreds by Liu Hun, her old face so battered even her own father wouldn’t recognize her as she slumped in her chair, speechless.

The outcome was now decided!

After the board meeting was adjourned, Liu Hun had thought Hu Qingdie might say something, but she didn’t and even took away Huang Zishan, who seemed about to say something.

Instead, an elated Cui Chengpeng took the opportunity in the elevator to ask Liu Hun, “Executive Liu, your performance today was extremely invigorating.”

“It was all thanks to Director Cui’s support and guidance,” Liu Hun replied courteously.

The two were already on terms of full disclosure, so they no longer bothered with pretenses.

Cui Chengpeng straightforwardly said to Liu Hun, “Executive Liu, Xie Dan and Lin Hongsheng have lost this round, and it seems the general trend is set.

However, a centipede may be dead but still wiggles.

You should be on your guard.”

Liu Hun nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Director Cui, my people have been in touch with Xie Huan for a long time now; it’s probably at the point where they can call each other brothers, I guess.”

Cui Chengpeng smiled faintly; Liu Hun’s reaching this point was not a surprise to him, but not reaching it would have been.

“Ding!” The elevator door opened and Cui Chengpeng stopped talking to Liu Hun, heading straight for his car.

Several floors above, in Xie Dan’s office, Lin Hongsheng was struggling as if his life depended on it, toiling in Xie Dan’s muddy field.

“Yes!

Yes!

Yes!

Hit harder!

Kill!

Damn it!

All…” Xie Dan screamed as if venting his frustrations like slaughtering a pig, finally releasing his pent-up anger.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a spoiled field, only an exhausted ox.

Especially in a field of mud like this, it’s enough to exhaust an old ox.

Lin Hongsheng now understood this deeply, slumped in his chair, panting like a bellows.

Xie Dan wrapped his coat around himself, withdrew his legs from the desk, took a long break, and lit a cigar.

Then he said to Lin Hongsheng, “Hongsheng, we need to think of something.

Otherwise, the Hu Group is going to end up in the hands of the Lius!”

Lin Hongsheng loosened his tie, caught his breath, and said, “I didn’t expect that kid to be so sophisticated—and his momentum is frightening.”

“Don’t go praising him like that!

Just tell me what we should do now?” Xie Dan felt sick even hearing Liu Hun’s name, let alone praising him.

Lin Hongsheng’s face darkened, and he smiled sinisterly at Xie Dan.

“What do you think would happen if we let this news leak?”

Xie Dan’s withered face also smiled.

“Once the news gets leaked, Feiteng Holding will be able to make arrangements immediately, and they might even bite back at Liu Hun!

By then, that Liu bastard won’t just have to deal with Feiteng Holding, but he’ll also be humiliated in front of the board!”

“There’s one problem, though!” Lin Hongsheng cautioned Xie Dan.

“What problem?” Xie Dan asked.

“Once the news breaks, not only will Green Power Pharmaceutical react, but Feiteng Holding will definitely retaliate against Liu Hun immediately.

More importantly,” Lin Hongsheng tapped on the table with his finger and continued, “this involves an investment project worth seven hundred million of our group, approved by the board.

Who leaked the information?

Who’ll bear such a huge loss?

Not only Green Power Pharmaceutical and Feiteng Holding, even our group’s stocks would plummet!”

Upon considering this, Xie Dan realized it was true—stock prices were like the digestive system of someone with chronic gastritis, throw in a rotten orange, and it triggers a massive downturn.

Then another thought struck Xie Dan, and he said to Lin Hongsheng with a laugh, “That’s simple.

We just reduce our stock holdings, make a quick profit, and buy back when the prices fall, making money both ways.”

Lin Hongsheng looked at Xie Dan’s face as if he were looking at an uncivilized orangutan—four words: stupid woman!

“That’s not what I meant.

I’m talking about the investigation!

If it doesn’t trace back to us, fine, but if it turns out we were the ones who leaked it, considering the current state of the board, can we still hold our position in the Hu Group?” Lin Hongsheng made his point clear.

“So what do you suggest we do?

Just sit back and watch Liu Hun accomplish his goals?” Xie Dan couldn’t stomach that—he was furious!

“We can’t be the ones to do this, but there is someone who can!

Moreover, he has a clear motive, making it more fitting for him to carry it out than us!” Lin Hongsheng told Xie Dan.

Seeing Lin Hongsheng’s expression, Xie Dan knew he was up to no good and hurriedly asked, “Who?”

“Xie Huan!”

As a former executive director of the Hu Group, discarded like a dirty rag, Xie Huan had spent quite a while roaming the streets until recently some brothers on Dao spotted him, and he sensed a slight chance of turning the tables.

And now, he was summoned by Xie Dan, who once ostracized him.

Experience is the best teacher, and for Xie Huan, the phrase couldn’t be truer; he didn’t believe Xie Dan had any good intentions in summoning him.

“Huan, you’ve suffered recently, haven’t you?

Look, you’ve gotten thin, it breaks my heart,” Xie Dan pretended to reach out to touch Xie Huan’s face.

Xie Huan felt nauseous and quickly dodged, saying, “Humph!

I’ve got brothers now, living the good life!

Don’t think I’m nothing without you.

Let me be clear, I’m gold, I shine wherever I go!”

Pah!

You’re gold?

A good-for-nothing!

A mess!

That’s what Xie Dan thought, but she soothingly said, “I’ve always been concerned about you, stop pretending in front of me.

Here’s ten million, take it to tide you over.” Saying this, she handed over a cheque to Xie Huan.

Xie Huan was tempted—the destitution had been torturous.

But the hardships had taught him a lesson, and he quickly suppressed his greed, and coldly smiled at Xie Dan, “I don’t take unearned wealth.

If you’ve got something to say, spit it out!”

“I need your help with a small favor.

If this works out, there’s another ten million in it for you.

Deal?” Xie Dan felt that if it wasn’t for the need to make Xie Huan a scapegoat, she’d have slapped him already.

Xie Huan, prepared for the worst, stealthily slipped his hand into his pocket and turned on the recording function.

Then he lazily asked, “What’s the deal, just say it.”

“I’ve got a piece of news about a stock acquisition proposal from the board,” Xie Dan explained.

“All you have to do, as a former executive director of the Hu Group, is leak this information, and you’re done.

The money will be yours.

How about it?” Xie Dan laid out her plan, intending to exploit Xie Huan’s former position.

If she had just picked anyone off the street to do this, who would have listened?
