Chapter 718: Announcing the Successor

Chapter 718: Announcing the Successor

As the birthday banquet came to an end, Zhang Xuming rose up and announced the news to all his guests that he was retiring:

“Dear guests, dear friends, I have single-handedly founded Xuming Medical Manufacturers. The company has operated for around fifty years. Fortunately, to this day, Xuming Medical Manufacturers is still alive and well. It’s been through its ups and downs but ultimately, it’s made quite a bit of an influence in the industry…”

Zhang Xuming gave a short speech about the ups and downs in his life.

The ups and downs in his life corresponded with the ups and downs in the company.

At the end of the speech, Zhang Xuming said: “Today is my 80th birthday. I formally announce that I will be officially retiring from being the Chairman and CEO of Xuming Medical Manufacturers. The operations of this company will be taken over by the partner of Xuming Medical Manufacturers in the future. In the future, all the decisions will be made by this person.”

The partner of Xuming Medical Manufacturers?

That mysterious person?

Two years ago, the person who joined Xuming Medical Manufacturers helped them make a complete comeback in the industry!

Furthermore, it was said that he or she held the patents for all the equipment that was currently being produced by Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

As this person was incredibly mysterious, everyone always doubted the existence of this person.

In fact, some people speculated that Xuming Medical Manufacturers actually made up a person to gain publicity.

Back then, Xuming Medical Manufacturers were facing a crisis. They desperately needed to gain the trust of the outside world to revive their operations. Therefore, it was possible for them to claim that they got a powerful individual to join their company.

And thus, perhaps, the partner was just their research and development team.

However, based on Zhang Xuming’s words today, this mysterious partner actually existed.

And thus, the crowd became more and more curious about this person.

However, Zhang Xuming did not explain the situation further. This made the crowd’s hearts itch tremendously. It was as though a thousand ants were crawling over them.

Jian Yiling glanced at Zhang Xuming.

The thing he was talking about… She hadn’t promised him…

However, on more than one occasion, he had mentioned this to her.

However, she hadn’t said yes.

The last time he mentioned the matter, she said that she’d consider it.

In the lounge room, Zhang Xuming smiled guiltily when he saw Jian Yiling.

As Jian Yiling never said yes to him, he decided to act first and report later.

If not, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be alive on the day she finally said yes.

“I didn’t say yes,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Well, you said that you’ll consider it. If you’re willing to consider it, it’s rather promising for me.”

“But I didn’t say yes.”

Considering something and saying yes were completely two different things.

When Zhang Xuming heard Jian Yiling’s resoluteness, he began to sell his misery to gain her sympathy:

“But I already announced that I’m going to retire… I announced it in front of so many people! I can’t just take those words back! Furthermore, it’s my 80th birthday. Can you bear to see an eighty-year-old man be a laughing stock on his birthday? Can you bear to see me be ridiculed by all my friends and guests?”

Then, Zhang Xuming continued to convince Jian Yiling: “Furthermore, now that I have announced that you will be in charge of the company in the future, the stock price of Xuming Medical Manufacturer’s will definitely go up. In that case, your assets will rise as well. However, if it’s later discovered that I announced fake news, the stock price will plummet. As a partner of Xuming Medical Manufacturers, can you bear to see your assets shrink?”

Zhang Xuming gave Jian Yiling an analysis of the consequences from two different perspectives.
