Chapter 114 - Omnipotent husband (1/2)

After a period of intense preparations, Rong Yi’s temporary shareholders’ meeting started smoothly.

In the meeting room on the top floor of Rong Yi Group’s skyscraper, He Yi, as Rong Yi’s first shareholder, sat at the head of the table. Below she was Yi Liangze and Chu Piaoyun, as well as the Wen siblings, Fang Yuan, and Chu Chu.

He Yi admired Yi Liangze. It was not easy for him to invite so many enemies for her. She did not even know how he managed to convince them to participate in this shareholders’ meeting.

Chu Piaoyun maintained her usual cold and arrogant attitude, completely condescending. “Everyone is very busy and took time out of their busy schedules to come over. If you have something to say, quickly say it!”

The opening speech was filled with impatience. He Yi really could not think of how they would work together in the future.

Of course, she still maintained the surface respect for Chu Piaoyun. After all, Chu Piaoyun was a senior and a big shot in the business world. In all aspects, her status and identity were above hers.

“First of all, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to attend Rong Yi’s temporary shareholders’ meeting. I also look forward to everyone joining in!” He Yi had prepared a speech, but at this moment, it was not suitable for the current situation. She swept her gaze across everyone present once again. Other than Yi Liangze, she could not find anyone worthy of her attention. She also could not see anyone who would wholeheartedly support Rong Yi’s restructuring.

Were they counting on these people to come up with the funds for Rong Yi’s restructuring and listing? He Yi had serious doubts. The Wen siblings must have come under Wen Li’an’s orders. She could understand that. She could also understand that Fang Yuan had come with Chu Piaoyun. But why was Chu Chu here? She did not understand. All of the people present were people with extraordinary statuses. They also had legitimate statuses and justifications, but she did not understand why Chu Chu had come to join in on the fun.

She seriously suspected that these people had gathered together at the last minute to go against her.

As expected, just as He Yi finished her opening speech, Wen Siling sneered and opened fire. “What kind of lousy company is this? It’s already closed down, yet it’s still trying to reorganize and go public! What a joke!”

He Yi glanced at her coldly and couldn’t help but say, “No one forced you to come! If you don’t want to come, you don’t have to come!”

“Who wanted to come?” Wen siling shouted. “If it wasn’t for my big brother who asked me to come, I would rather go and entertain that B*tch Wei Jiameng than come and see your arrogant face!”

This was a blatant provocation. He Yi looked at her coldly and then pointed in the direction of the meeting room’s door. “Get out!”

Fang Yuan shouted, “You, you’re so arrogant! Get it straight, we’re here to give you money! Why can’t you understand the situation? Do you think that you’re the CEO of some group?”

Chu Chu also sneered. “Rong Yi is a group founded by big Brother. Even if you want to occupy the magpie’s nest, you should at least keep a low profile. What kind of financing restructuring is this? And you’re still so arrogant? Are you kidding me? You are the most shameless person in the world!”

The three Princesses of Yun City were sitting here, and all of them were at odds with He Yi. She seriously suspected whether this legendary temporary shareholders’ meeting was to help her raise money or to criticize her.

She cast a suspicious glance at Yi Liangze, who quickly looked at Chu Piaoyun. “Chairman Chu, may I ask why you brought Miss Chu here?”

It seemed that Chu Piaoyun brought Chu Chu here without Yi Liangze’s prior consent, or rather, Yi Liangze did not know about it.

Only then did He Yi calm down a little. The scene in front of her made her unhappy. She had long felt that it was inappropriate, but under Yi Liangze’s insistence, this strange shareholders’ meeting was actually being held, and she had even personally participated in it.

Chu Piaoyun arrogantly curled the corners of her lips, lowering her dignity. She said in a pedantic tone, “The restructuring of the financing of 100 million requires a large amount of funds, and Wanfang’s reserve funds are not very abundant. It just so happens that Chu Chu has a few hundred million that her big brother gave her. It’s not bad to invest it as a shareholder. In any case, if you want to raise more capital, the more the better!”

With that said, Chu Chu’s reason for participating in the shareholders’ meeting was also very good.

He Yi felt very annoyed. She was very clear that this shareholders’ meeting could not be held at all! If it was just with Chu Piaoyun, there might still be a chance to talk. But with the addition of the three Princesses of Yun City, all of them were shallow and sharp. They were not people who could achieve great things. They only knew how to stir up trouble.

“I think we need sincerity in everything we do. If you think it’s difficult or uncomfortable to work with me, don’t force it!” He Yi did not intend to show weakness. She was an investor who needed to raise funds, but she would never lower her voice because of this. Moreover, she would never think that she could exchange her voice for their magnanimity and mercy.

Chu Piaoyun sneered, “We’re just here for the sake of money. As for whether we can reach an agreement or not, it depends on your attitude and performance. From the looks of it now, your attitude is very insincere and your performance is terrible. Let me tell you, even if the financing is successful, you can’t be the CEO of the group!”

He Yi knew that Chu Piaoyun was testing her. It seemed that the other party wanted to invest hundreds of millions of yuan. Just like Yi Liangze said, no one felt that money was hot. However, Chu Piaoyun’s conditions must be very harsh. As expected, she had already exposed herself.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the shares I hold are the highest. Of course, I’ll be the CEO of the group!” He Yi had no room for negotiation. “If chairman Chu can take out shares that are higher than 7 billion yuan, you can also sit in this chair!”

She was certain that the people present could not offer so much cash flow, not even the entire company. Moreover, the future of Rong Yi was unknown. Chu Piaoyun would not be impulsive enough to exchange half of Wanfang for it.

Faced with the chips in He Yi’s hands, Chu Piaoyun did not care at all. She laughed disdainfully “Tsk, you only know how to compare the shares. It’s too tacky! Don’t you understand that a person’s character and reputation are equally important to the CEO of an organization?”

At this point, Wen Siling immediately agreed in a shrill voice. “That’s right! A suspect of poisoning has not yet cleared the suspicion of poisoning. If she becomes the CEO of the organization, Will the organization still have any prospects for development?”

Fang Yuan sneered in disdain, “I just suspect that she doesn’t know what the CEO is going to do? To think that she can become the chairman of the Rong Yi Group is simply a fool’s dream!”

Chu Chu was even more jealous. “What my brother wasn’t able to do, what right and ability does she have to fantasize?”

“Bang!” He Yi slammed the table, her pretty face ashen.

Yi Liangze immediately said, “Whoever doesn’t want to stay here can leave!”

Seeing Yi Liangze speak up for He Yi, those sharp-tongued women finally stopped their verbal attacks.

“Fine!” Chu Piaoyun flicked her fingers, seemingly nonchalant. “I’m only doing this for the sake of money. If there’s a profit to be made, I don’t mind investing 100 million. However, you have to come up with a price that will move my heart! Don’t tell me that I’m going to use a sky-high price to buy a position as a director? I’m the oldest in terms of seniority, and I’m also the oldest in terms of age. To be honest, with me, Chu Piaoyun, there’s no room for you to speak!”

“That’s right!” Wen Siling actively chimed in and mocked He Yi. “Please have some humility and figure out what it means to be first come, first served! These 100 million yuan were once established by Chairman Chu with Young Master Chu’s help!”

Chu Chu sneered. “Why do you think I came here to invest? Of course, it’s because of my big brother’s past friendship. After all, this Rong Yi was founded by my big brother alone, and my aunt also had an indelible contribution. It’s settled then. If you want to finance and restructuring, you have to follow my lead and let my aunt be the CEO of the group. A rookie in the business world who doesn’t know anything and is still under suspicion of poisoning. No matter how you look at it, it seems that virtue doesn’t match up!”

“He Yi, think about it carefully! Chairman Chu is a person who does big things. She doesn’t care about trifles! Although we have some small grudges in the past, for the sake of Rong Yi’s restructuring, we can put aside our differences and let bygones be bygones. However, you can’t be too ignorant!”

“Pa!” He Yi closed the work plan that she had been working on for several days, she said coldly, “I really can’t see any sincerity from you. You’re deliberately finding trouble! Alright! The matter of the group’s financing restructuring could be discussed in the long run. Since we’re all gathered here today, why don’t you tell us what you guys want!”

Seeing that He Yi had declared war, the three Princesses of Yun City immediately responded. Although they were afraid of Yi Liangze and didn’t dare make a move immediately, their mouths weren’t forgiving either. Especially Wen Siling. Her temper was extremely hot and she was indignant.

“He Yi, on account of young Master Yi, I don’t want to shed all pretense of cordiality with you. But you’d better know better. Don’t let Wei Jiameng seduce Fang Yu again. Now he’s my boyfriend! After announcing Fang Yu’s official identity in a high-profile manner, Wen Siling became even more smug. “He doesn’t like Wei Jiameng at all. He just uses her to kill time when he’s bored! If she knows what’s good for her, she should stay far away from Fang Yu. If she doesn’t give up and still wants to pester Fang Yu, I’ll make her beg for death!”

He Yi understood. Yi Liangze’s phone call to the Fang family that day, made Chu Piaoyun go crazy when she found out that Fang Yu still had a relationship with Wei Jiameng. She heard that Fang Yu had to hide outside and couldn’t go home for a few days.

After the recent limelight passed, Fang Yu continued to live his days as a hedonistic son, playing in the mortal world every day. Chu Piaoyun had only forgiven him so easily because he had announced that Wen Siling was his real girlfriend.

It seemed that Fang Yu had no other choice. To deal with Empress Dowager Chu’s high-handed tyranny, he could only compromise. Officially acknowledging Wen Siling as his girlfriend, he used this to beg for a few days of peace.

He Yi sneered and sincerely said, “I’m grateful for Fang Yu’s fickleness. I’m extremely happy for Jiameng for getting rid of this playboy. From the looks of it, when I go back today, I’ll have to open a bottle of champagne with Jiameng and celebrate it properly. Wen third miss is like a treasure, then I’ll congratulate you. I hope that from now on, you can take away his wild and unrestrained heart and make him rein in his actions. From now on, he’ll be devoted to you and treat you as his terminator!”

Wen Siling could not tolerate He Yi’s sarcasm. She immediately jumped up and was about to make a move.

Chu Piaoyun glanced at Yi Liangze. The latter’s lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at her.

“Forget it!” Chu Piaoyun stopped Wen Siling and advised, “It’s not proper to make a big fuss in public. If there’s any conflict, we can settle it in private!”

Wen Siling listened to Chu Piaoyun the most and immediately swallowed the anger in her heart. She said resentfully to He Yi, “Just wait and see!”

He Yi stood up and said coldly, “Let’s call it a day for today’s meeting! Everyone, please leave!”

Chu Piaoyun was a little surprised and stared at her. “Don’t tell me you don’t want to talk about the financing?”

“Let’s discuss this matter in the future!” He Yi made it clear that she wanted to chase them away. “I don’t see any sincerity from all of you. You’re causing a headache here! I’m sorry, Rong Yi Office Building is my place. I have the right to decide who should stay here and who should leave!”

Yi Liangze rubbed his nose and didn’t say anything.

“Hmph!.” Chu Piaoyun couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up. “Do you think we want to stay here? If it wasn’t for Liangze, I wouldn’t have come!”

“Oh!” He Yi nodded, indicating that she understood. “Then I will only be grateful to my husband. There’s no need for me to thank you!”

Chu Piaoyun almost died from anger, she sneered, “What a sharp-tongued mouth! Fine, you’ve gained the upper hand today, so what? Is this Rong Yi Building that impressive? It’s just a dead City! You still can’t get it!”

“That’s my business!” He Yi gave the order to leave. “Please leave this place immediately, or the security guards will come to help you out!”

Chu Piaoyun naturally could not sit down, and the three princesses of Yun City could not stand it. However, they were afraid of Yi Liangze standing beside them and did not dare to make a move. They also did not dare to openly scold him, so they bitterly said a few sour words and left.

In the end, only Wen Yongxiang and Yi Liangze were left in the huge conference room.

Of course, Yi Liangze would not leave. Moreover, He Yi also had something to ask him. He Yi was very displeased that Wen Yongxiang stayed behind.

He Yi’s gaze swept over Wen Yongxiang. He immediately raised his hand as if he was surrendering. “Sister-in-law, I did not provoke you!”

Wen Yongxiang put on a pure and innocent look, indicating that he was harmless.

He Yi remembered that Wen Yongxiang was the only one who advised Yi Liangze to go home that day in the private room, so she owed him a favor. Her expression softened a little and she said, “Do you have something else to do?”

“Of course, I have something to do!” Wen Yongxiang suddenly looked very distressed and told her, “I’m getting lovesick soon!”

He Yi knew that he was talking about Ji Xueshan. She nodded and said, “I got it! I still have some things to deal with. I’ll contact you later!”

When Wen Yongxiang heard that, his eyes lit up and he quickly nodded. “Okay, sister-in-law is busy. Call me when you’re free!”

With that, Wen Yongxiang left happily.

Only He Yi and Yi Liangze were left in the meeting room. The two of them looked at each other and did not speak for a while.

After a long time, Yi Liangze sighed and spread his hands. “I can’t believe it’s like this!”

He Yi did not show any anger, she only said indifferently, “You should have thought of it long ago. Apart from second brother Wen, which of the people you invited are not my sworn enemies? It’s not easy for you to find all of them. I know that you have done your best.”

Was this a compliment or a derogatory remark? Yi Liangze coughed and said, “Actually, if you are willing to endure a little, Chu Piaoyun wants to invest some of her money. As for those three women, you don’t have to pay attention to them!”

“Forget it!” He Yi said indifferently “So what if Empress Chu wants to invest? Seeing her expression every day and still having to endure her nitpicking, isn’t that just asking for torture? The matter of financing will end here. I’ll think about it and then decide what to do.”

Seeing that He Yi had said so much, Yi Liangze stretched out two slender fingers and gently knocked on the table, testing, “Actually, there is another way. Can you hear if it is feasible?”

He Yi looked at him and smiled slightly. “You went through a lot of trouble to invite these clowns and watch them make a scene. Isn’t it for the final purpose? Wouldn’t it be easier to just say it out loud?”

Yi Liangze could not help but shake his head. “Women are too smart and indeed boring!”

“I know that you don’t like me to invest too much energy and time into my career. I can understand your feelings. After all, after being separated from the children for so many years, and being busy with my career and neglecting them… it’s not right!” He Yi sighed lightly, and said, “It’s hard to start a business. I had a deep understanding when I was running Fu Xing. Currently, I’m still waiting for the results of director Zhuo’s experiment. For that experiment, I stayed in the laboratory until I got married. Now that I think about it, I’m indeed going crazy!”

Yi Liangze listened to He Yi’s analysis, he couldn’t help but say, “You’ve finally said a word of conscience! Just the Leather Factory alone has made you forget to eat and sleep. I don’t dare to imagine how busy you’ll be after Rong Yi goes public! Not to mention the children, I’m afraid that even I won’t be able to see you all day long!”

He Yi pondered for a moment and said, “Since you’re here today, and you’ve already made a plan, why don’t you say it out! If it’s possible, then we’ll do as you say.”
