177 CEO Wangs Brother (1/2)
”Hurry up! We have no time to waste!” Chairman Xu said as his voice rose up a notch higher.
”Please calm down, Chairman Xu.” Wang Yuvin said as he assisted Kiang Leilei to get inside the black SUV.
”How can I calm down when that council Yun is calling me nonstop? Aigo! He was ultra mad at me for selling my shares to you. But it was partly my fault anyway. I should have told you not to tell anyone about your status in the Hideout hierarchy.” Worried can be seen in the chairman's face.
”Hmm... I guess I should have not flaunted that I am the new master of the Hideout. Please forgive my foolishness. But I am still confused though. Why do you have to fetch us? Are we in possible danger? Where are you taking us?” Wang Yuvin asked as he got inside the SUV and closed its door.
”This is to protect you since I completely haven't told you what you must know and understand about being the Hideout's master.” Chairman Xu carefully said as he gestured his driver to start driving away from the area.
”As the master of the Hideout, you alone have the full access to every bit of information collected and stored inside the facility. But beware, your grip in the position is not permanent. You can easily be replaced if you are stupid enough to make irreversible mistakes.” Chairman Xu added, making sure he had not missed out on any detail.
”Can be replaced? By what means? And who will be the replacement?” Wang Yuvin's curiosity flowed continuously, eager to know what can possibly take the master position away from him.
”Bear in mind that the Hideout is all about networks and influences. The higher the shares, the higher the possibility of maintaining the master position, also the higher the threat to the position holder.” Chairman Xu paused for a short while before he continued, ”That is why maintaining a good harmonious relationship with the other shareowners is beneficial.”
”Interesting. But what happens if another shareowner reached the same amount of shares as the current master's?” Wang Yuvin suddenly thought of a possibility for a tie.
”A special meeting would be held. And 48 hours after the meeting, either of the two shareowners must gain added share or they will both be forced to enter a duel to determine who best fits the position.”
”Duel? They will be forced to kill each other?” Kiang Leilei blurted out when she wasn't able to contain her worry over Wang Yuvin's situation.
”No, no, no. Not something as simple as that Miss Kiang. The duel in the Hideout is different. They do not just take away lives. They destroy corporations.”
”So the duel you spoke of involves making the other shareowner's corporation go bankrupt?” Wang Yuvin asked as he thought of many possible ways to bankrupt an enemy's business.
”You are correct.” Chairman Xu replied as his hand gently brushed his beard.
”Anyway, can you please take us back to the Hideout? I appreciate the help and support but I can handle this.”
”I don't think so.” Right after Chairman Xu's reply, a loud explosion happened. Tracing the source of the noise and smoke, it was in the Hideout's parking area.
”Gosh! What was that?!” The explosion frightened Kiang Leilei that she unconsciously hugged Wang Yuvin's arm. Much to his surprise and delight.
Seeing Kiang Leilei tremble, Wang Yuvin put his arm around her and pulled her closer to his chest.
”That was the sound of your car exploding, Yuvin. You seriously pissed off Council Yun and his friend Dr. Yang.” Chairman Xu massaged his forehead as he looked away from the explosion.
