Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Li Feng Rises to Power

"You don’t acknowledge? Then get out."

Li Feng didn’t take An Dapeng seriously at all. An Dapeng, looking at Li Feng who was at least twenty years his junior, sneered, "Fine, we’ll see about that. I’m leaving."

An Dapeng glared bitterly at Li Feng and kicked the chair away as he walked out, while Li Feng surveyed the directors with a calm demeanor, assessing those who were considering leaving.

"Wang Qian, remember their names. If they don’t want to be friends, then they are enemies of Li Feng."

"Yes, Young Master Feng."

Wang Qian nodded with a smile. A few of the previously clamorous directors hesitated. They weren’t fools. So many people in the boardroom acquiescing to Li Feng taking over signified that he wasn’t a simple figure—they were all seasoned in the business world.

If Qi Haomin really had committed suicide, the skies of Sihai Group might have truly changed. They had heard rumors that Qi Haomin’s son, Qi Shaobin, had been castrated, though they weren’t sure if that was true.

Moreover, Sihai Group had been going through relentless turmoil recently, which was entirely abnormal. Clearly, someone was covertly manipulating and pressing down.

After walking a few steps, An Dapeng realized no one was following him. He turned his head to look at the directors on his side.

"Well, aren’t you leaving? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of this kid."

Standing behind Li Feng, Wang Qian turned around, squinting his eyes, and stared straight as he spoke, "An Dapeng, CEO of Dapeng Building Materials, Qi Haomin’s uncle by marriage, supported by the Sihai Group, owns several building material factories. Including the two villas at home, nine commercial properties, and shares in Sihai, you’ve got assets worth about three to four hundred million yuan."

"But the shares you hold in Sihai have plummeted, along with the scandals involving Sihai Group’s construction projects and work stoppages. The materials your factory is holding are worth a few tens of millions, right?"

"My young associate received a mortgage worth millions a while ago. It seems to be over two commercial properties belonging to you, Mr. An."

Wang Qian’s lips curled into a smile as he approached An Dapeng, "If I’m not mistaken, you can’t even pay your workers’ wages now. Your cash flow has nearly collapsed. If Sihai doesn’t revive, your company might get buried with Sihai Group."

"As for those assets in your name, after everything is liquidated, hey, you might end up not just a millionaire but a debtor. Your plain-faced wife and several mistresses you keep outside might not stay with you."

"Oh, and your two sons and a daughter are big spenders too. They probably can’t even afford their education soon. Do you think, for the sake of face, they might come to me for a loan?"

An Dapeng gulped nervously, his complexion uncertain. The previously wavering directors listened, mortified, as what Wang Qian said to An Dapeng seemed aimed at them too.

Most of these people were related to the Qi Family one way or another, if not merely fellow townspeople, so they supported the Qi Family wholeheartedly. This support allowed Qi Haomin to firmly control the board and Sihai Group, tying their fates together—for better or worse.

With the fall of Sihai, they would all end up debtors.

"Young Master Feng said, ’If Sihai Group cannot get past this year, anyone who steps out this door won’t see tomorrow.’"

"Don’t believe me? Just try."

Wang Qian, like a loyal hound, showed his menacing teeth, an image that sent shivers down the spines of many. Most people in the meeting room knew him as one who controlled one of the four major underground banks in Huacheng, many having borrowed money from him—his scale was even larger than ordinary banks.

Dealing with these so-called billionaires was truly just a matter of a few words.

An Dapeng sweated profusely from his forehead, realizing that the other party knew all his secrets, while he knew nothing about them. He truly didn’t dare to gamble. If he were to drop from billionaire to debtor, he himself would consider jumping off a building.

It’s easy to adapt from frugality to luxury but hard the other way around.

He was nearly fifty now. To start all over again would be no different from killing him, especially without the support of the great tree, Sihai Group.

"You were supposed to leave, weren’t you? Then go ahead and leave!"

Wang Qian aggressively looked at An Dapeng, who couldn’t withstand the pressure and immediately fell to his knees, "I was wrong; my mind was muddled. Chairman, please be magnanimous and let it slide."

Li Feng didn’t even bother with An Dapeng, who acted like a pathetic clown.

"Today, at the board meeting, I will only say two things. First, the ownership of Sihai will change; second, it will be delisted. Whoever still holds shares, I will purchase them at three times the current stock price. If you want to sell, talk to Wang Qian; beyond this door, consider I never said this."

"As for you, no premium. Take it or leave it."

Li Feng coldly glanced at the kneeling An Dapeng, who gulped nervously, realizing that selling at this valuation meant a huge loss, but if he didn’t sell, he might be left with suicide as the only way out.

"I’ll sell, I’ll sell."

Seeing this, the other directors dared not refrain from selling. Although the stock was only priced at a third of Sihai’s normal stock price even after the tripled premium, at least they could salvage something.

"Hmpf, spurning a toast only to drink a forfeit, it’s just pitiful." Wang Qian watched the directors scrambling to sell their shares, scoffing continuously.

Following Qi Haomin’s suicide, the shift in Sihai’s ownership quickly stirred up a storm in the Huacheng business circle.

At the Zhang Family villa,

Zhang Xue, hearing that Li Feng had ascended to the chairman of Sihai Group, was utterly shocked. With a child nuzzling up to her wanting to nurse, Zhang Xue pushed the approaching child forcefully to the ground.

The child immediately started wailing in pain.

She had ousted Li Feng, the "freeloader" son-in-law, out of the house in her ambition to become the Lady of Sihai, and now, Li Feng had become the Sect Leader of Sihai.

With Qi Haomin’s suicide and Qi Shaobin becoming an eunuch, and being forced to "leave home empty-handed," the situation was just...

Zhang Xue looked at her daughter crying loudly on the floor, suddenly stood up from the couch and picked her up, "Baby, don’t cry, let mommy take you to see daddy, shall we?"

"See daddy?"

"Yes, mommy will take you to find daddy." Zhang Xue bit her lip, he might reject her, but the child was undeniably raised by him.

In Sea City, Shuiyunjian,

In a villa, Shen Yanran suddenly yelled, "Jin’er, Jin’er, come quickly."

Wang Jin’er walked from the kitchen to the living room holding a plate of homemade fruit salad, staring at Shen Yanran who was sitting curled up on the sofa, "What’s it this time, always so jumpy."

"That scoundrel Li actually moved up."

"Huh?" Wang Jin’er was puzzled.

"He has become the chairman of Sihai Group. Look for yourself; this is the latest flash news. Sihai Group is the major corporation that’s been causing a stir recently, it’s quite large."

"Really?"

Wang Jin’er had studied finance and business management in university and stayed informed about financial and business news; and Sihai Group was not just any minor player, she had certainly heard of it, "Could it be someone with the same name?"
