At this moment, it can be said that Donald's face was just wonderful, from the beginning, his “do you know what you are talking about” face slowly turned into disbelief.
Then he looked at Shen Cheng as if he was inquiring. The young man standing in the room was looking at him with a calm, unhurried confidence, and it was clear that this was his home turf, but Shen Cheng was standing straight there with a powerful and confident aura, as if his territory was wherever he was.
For a moment, Donald was transported back to four years ago in China, when he first saw Shen Cheng, not in a photo, not from the mouths of his men, but when he actually saw him at Ji Yuanfeng's hospital bedside.
At that time, Shen Cheng was just a boy who had not yet graduated from high school, but he was a mature and stable businessman who had already been famous for a long time, and no matter how different they were in terms of age and achievements, when they first met, the boy did not show any weakness and was not at all timid or overwhelmed.
"I'm Shen Cheng."
The young man stood at the entrance to the shareholders' meeting and opened his lips: "I will take over Ji's."
His attitude was not condescending, but his temper was extremely arrogant. In the eyes of those who were waiting to see the joke, the young man resisted the mountainous pressure, ruthless and thunderous. It was at that moment that Donald felt that he had met his nemesis.
The bodyguard behind him was still pressing, "Sir, the Kettles are still pressing, they say ......"
"Slap."
The sound of a crisp slap rang out across the room.
Donald swung down with a slap, his face was still ruthless, but his voice was elegant, "How do you do things, you actually left them! Go and bring the guest here, don't make young master Kettle wait any longer."
The bodyguard received a hard slap but did not dare to say anything, sullenly resisted, and then respectfully said, "Yes, I'll go now."
The room, which had been surrounded by a crowd of people, dispersed at once.
Donald turned his head with a smile to the two men behind him and said, "Then let's go outside, the guests are in the other building."
Jian Shiwu looked at him warily as Shen Cheng patted his hand and pulled him outside the room.
It was only when their group got outside that Jian Shiwu saw the scene outside. Several black cars were parked outside, it was impossible to see how many people were in them, but Qiao An was leaning against the side of the car smoking a cigarette, a man next to him was holding an umbrella for him, when he saw them come out, Qiao An took the lead and looked at Shen Cheng.
Shen Cheng threw a glance at him, which Qiao An immediately understood.
Donald smiled and said, "Young Master Kettle, what wind has blown you here."
"It's some kind of demonic wind, isn't it." Qiao An smiled, "I've come to fetch my fiancée."
Donald: "My respects, it's all the fault of my men, they were only invited to come as guests, there may have been some misunderstanding in the middle, and I'm still bothering you to make such a big deal out of it."
Qiao An said, "No misunderstanding, I like to make a bit of a show wherever I go."
Donna cursed him inwardly.
The group walked through the rain and finally came to another small building not far away, this one was a little smaller than the one where Jian Shiwu was being held, but they could faintly see someone inside, they went inside and followed them upstairs.
Lui Heng came down from another room on the third floor, and he didn't seem to be hurt, not only that, but he was swearing and cursing as he came down, the petite young master was used to these bodyguards and these scenes, he wasn't intimidated at all, instead he was threatening: "Just wait, I'll call the police when I get out..."
Jian rushed over to the stairs and called out in surprise, "Lui Heng!"
Lui Heng was stunned and looked his way, and was excited to see Jian Shiwu, showing a smile, "Brother Shi!"
One ran downstairs and one ran upstairs, Qiao An and Shen Cheng, two big men, stood there while as the two little ones they had come to take away as they ran and hugged each other, just short of tears of joy.
Jian Shiwu finally let out a sigh of relief, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
Lui Heng shuddered and touched Jian’s face to make sure it was fine before sighing, "It's a good thing your face wasn't hurt, otherwise what would you have done..."
The corners of Jian’s mouth twitched.
You've really got the awareness of a gold medal agent.
Lui Heng took hold of Jane Shiwu's arm and gave a somewhat wary glance at the people around, then said, "Let's go back."
Jian Shiwu nodded as he looked towards Shen Cheng, "Shen Cheng...let’s back."
Shen Cheng stood unmoving.
As expected, Donald said to Jian Shiwu, "Mr. Jian, since you and your friend want to go back, I won't keep you, but Shen and I still have some words to say, do you mind?"
Jian Shiwu was stunned, he buffered for a moment probably before he understood what Donald meant, so Shen Cheng was coming over this time, was he going to trade one person for another? He was leaving, but Shen Cheng had to stay? Remembering what Donald had said during the day, how could he dare to let Shen Cheng stay here alone.
But Shen Cheng gave him a reassuring look.
Turning around, he spoke to Donald, "Uncle should want to catch up with Charles more than anything else."
Then Shen Cheng turned to Qiao An and said, "Did you bring the man?"
Qiao An sighed and winked at the people downstairs, and in a moment, a man with a frail gait was helped in, a blond foreign man who looked a little haggard, he looked upstairs, his eyes crossing with a little fear when he saw Shen Cheng.
Shen Cheng looked down and said to Donald, "The man was delivered."
"Delivered?" Donald swept a glance at the child who looked as if he was a broken flower and sneered, "What use would I have if I wanted a waste like this back."
Shen Cheng said in a light voice, "He lost his leg gambling, it has nothing to do with me."
"Heh." Donald sneered.
After all this time, he was finally too lazy to pretend.
Donald coldly said, "Shen Cheng, that 20% share, you can take it, but don't think you can swallow an elephant, I don't blame you for being young, but your seniority is still shallow, do you think our Tang family's foundation over the years is for nothing, those shareholders' details, weaknesses, handles, are all in my hands, you are too underestimating of our Tang family's wealth and power, even if you hold a shareholders' meeting, I can still have someone turn against you and buy those shares back!"
Charles, who had just been helped over, looked overwhelmed with emotion when he saw Donald, he almost pounced on him, obviously a big man but he was crying hard, a snotty nose and a tear: "Father."
"I was set up." He looked at Shen Cheng with some emotion and hatred, "It's him..."
He was still waiting for Donald to get justice for him.
Shen Cheng, on the other hand, was not afraid, and said in a light voice: "Since uncle is so confident that he can manipulate the shareholders and remain in control of Ji, and wants to fight for Charles to the end, then I will wait and see at the shareholders' meeting."
This was what everyone thought.
Yet Donald laughed, "Who said I was going to stand up for this fool Charles."
The crowd looked over at him, only to see Donald tap his cane and a bodyguard came out with a document as he said, "Shen Cheng, you have just been in office for not even two years, your heel base is not stable, I admit that you are somewhat capable, but I will also tell you that those shareholders are not as easy to manipulate as you think, here is all the information you want, it can help you to sit firmly in your position as president."
Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows. The man was unmoved in front of the heavenly temptation, he still looked at Donald calmly, as if waiting for him to speak further.
When Donald saw how calm Shen Cheng was, he let out an inaudible sigh before speaking, "I'm getting old, I don't have much energy to fight for a few more years, this is you young men's world and I shouldn't have interfered, I understand Charles' nature, it's hard to become something big, but ...... my only condition is that you have to promise me that you will not strike at Rui'er."
Charles froze. He looked at the man in front of him incredulously, as if he had never known him before. All these years although he was not Donald's own, but Donald all very favoured him, let the outside world know his existence Bcause his father never put Gu Duan in his eyes, he also became unrestrained, but now, he actually became a shield?
Shen Cheng said in a deep voice: "I have no enmity with Gu Duan."
Donald: "What I mean is that you have to keep Rui'er's position and rights in Ji's and make him the vice president of Ji's."
This was a deal of sorts. As long as Shen Cheng backed down, Donald would be willing to step aside and from then on the Tang family would withdrew its manipulation of Ji's and would not interfere anymore.
Before Shen Cheng could say anything, the door outside was kicked open, and in the pouring rain, the red-haired man walked in impatiently, throwing away his umbrella.
Gu Duan seemed to be carrying something in his hand, and Jian Shiwu looked vaguely at the transparent plastic box as if it was roast pork.
Gu Duan walked up the stairs step by step, and finally stood in front of Donald. With a harsh tone: "Who asked you to make your own decisions, when did I say that I wanted to be a vice president?"
Donald froze. He hadn’t thought that this son of his really wouldn’t give his face anywhere.
"Even if I joined Ji at that time, it was you who had to shove me there, I didn't fucking want to do it long ago." Gu Duan disliked Donald and had nothing to say, the older gentleman looked a bit at a loss before his son, before he could get disappointed, he heard Gu Duan say, "Besides Ji's, don't you have other properties, do you have to pick on Ji's?"
Donald thought and slowly understood the meaning. Could it be that ...... this son of his is really willing to take over other industries?
Gu Duan rubbed his hair impatiently, he was too lazy to care about this crap, he had always thought that Donald would prefer Charles, but when something happened to Charles, instead of rushing to take care of Charles' safety, the bastard kept paving his way for a rainy day, which finally moved him a bit.
"Let them all go back." Gu Duan finally said, "Getting together here at night to play mahjong, huh?"
No matter how grim the atmosphere was, a few curses from this man would ease it off.
Donald pondered for a moment and finally gave in under Gu Duan's gaze, he asked his bodyguard to hand the information to Shen Cheng before saying, "I've made you all laugh, I'm sorry it's so late, I won't see you off."
Shen Cheng collected the things and gave Gu Duan a meaningful glance before he was ready to turn around and take Jian Shiwu away.
However, just as the group was about to go downstairs, Donald spoke again, "Mr. Jian, please wait."
Jian Shiwu stopped in surprise, not expecting Donald to call out to him. He turned to look at him, only to hear Donald say, "Mr. Jian, in fact, I have another meaning in calling you here..."
Jian Shiwu had a bad feeling: "What?"
"That variety show of yours, I did watch it, and you and Gu Duan got along very well and had a lot of fun." Donald looked at him with a smile, "I was very pleased with you too."
?
Jian blinked in confusion, "So, what do you mean?"
Donald went one step further and inquired, "I mean, what do you think of my Rui'er, huh?"
