Tianlong Group.
As soon as Chu Yuan arrived at the company, he immediately convened a board meeting.
Relying on the shares transferred to him by his mother, Chu Yuan did not bother with procedures or lengthy formalities and directly assumed the position of chairman.
Tianlong Group had originally been an industry of the Chu Family. Not to mention that Chu Yuan held absolute shares, just his identity as the eldest young master of the Chu Family made it effortless for him to take control of the company. No one was allowed to object.
Of course, these senior executives would not dare to voice opposition openly.
After all, this was originally the Chu Family’s company. Chu Yuan could run it however he pleased.
In their eyes, a rich second-generation heir taking over the company was nothing but beneficial to them.
How could a mere rich young master understand how to operate a company? The real power would still be in their hands.
With Chu Yuan acting as a shield, they could act even more recklessly.
Chu Yuan was fully aware of their little schemes. After the meeting ended, he directly kept a group of people behind.
Looking at the eight pot-bellied men in front of him, with their greasy faces and bloated figures, Chu Yuan felt a wave of disgust.
He could not even be bothered to calculate all the evil deeds they had committed.
In the original plotline, when the protagonist Lin Tianyang dealt with the Chu Family, these were the very people who betrayed them and defected to Lin Tianyang.
They ate the Chu Family’s food, yet smashed the Chu Family’s pot.
Could people like them be reformed?
No.
They could not.
“I won’t waste words with you. Sign this equity transfer agreement, and I’ll spare your dog lives.”
At Chu Yuan’s cold signal, Zuo Shishi handed several copies of the equity transfer agreement to the men.
“This… Young Master, what do you mean? Even if you’ve just taken office, there’s no need to target us old employees like this.”
The one who spoke was Qin Gang, the head of the Human Resources Department. He was an old subordinate of the Chu Family and held the largest share among them.
At the same time, Qin Gang was also a man full of corruption. Using his position, he had stuffed the company with his own people, embezzled funds, accepted bribes, and taken kickbacks.
From Zuo Shishi’s investigation alone, the amount had already reached nearly 2 billion.
The other seven, upon hearing this, had ugly expressions and began whispering among themselves.
Though they were furious, they did not dare to speak openly, nor did they intend to comply.
“Young Master, you haven’t managed a company, so you wouldn’t understand. No matter what, we old employees have at least put in hard work for the company, even if we lack outstanding achievements.”
“Young Master is seizing our shares right after taking office. If word spreads, it won’t reflect well on your reputation. I hope Young Master will reconsider,” Qin Gang said. This chapter is updated first at NovelPing.
“Seizing your shares?”
“Look at the things you’ve done. The fact that I haven’t chopped you into pieces is already my mercy.”
With a loud bang, Chu Yuan slapped the table and threw the prepared evidence in front of them.
Qin Gang felt a bad premonition and hurriedly picked up a document.
“This… this is impossible. I… I’ve been framed. Young Master, please don’t believe slander.”
Qin Gang panicked and tried to argue.
The other seven, upon seeing the records of their own actions, turned deathly pale, their expressions uglier than if someone in their family had died.
If this evidence were exposed, even dying ten times would not be enough.
Chu Yuan stood aside coldly, saying nothing.
He wanted to see what they would say now.
“Young Master, please, for the sake of all the years I’ve worked for the Chu Family, risking life and limb, show mercy.”
“As long as Young Master spares me this time, I am willing to build a shrine for you and offer daily worship.”
“I’m not dead yet. I don’t need you lighting incense for me.”
His words frightened the eight men into silence. Their eyes turned watery, faces full of forced innocence.
“I’ll say it one last time. Sign the agreement, and you live. Refuse, and you already know the consequences.”
“I’ll sign, I’ll sign!”
The group no longer hesitated. One by one, they scrambled to hand over their shares.
“Good. At least you’re sensible.”
“Wait outside. There’s another gift for you to receive soon.”
After dismissing them, Chu Yuan turned to Zuo Shishi, “Have you made the arrangements?”
“Rest assured, Young Master. They should be here soon.”
A few minutes later, sirens blared as several police cars sped toward Tianlong Group.
Amid the sound of footsteps, a female officer appeared before Chu Yuan.
She looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Dressed in a police uniform, she carried an air of heroic sharpness.
Her face was lively and refined, her eyes bright like the moon, her brows slender, and her features well-proportioned. Standing just over 1.7 meters tall, she exuded a strong presence, her gaze filled with authority.
Her long, slender legs were perfectly outlined by her tight pants and casual shoes, displaying her flawless figure.
Chu Yuan could not help but feel a trace of interest.
Of course, any normal man would have some thoughts upon seeing such an outstanding woman, unless something was wrong with him.
This woman was none other than one of the Four Great Beauties of Magic City, the Criminal Investigation Captain, Lin Wanzhu.
Speaking of it, Lin Wanzhu fit perfectly into the role of the fiery policewoman, often one of the protagonist’s romantic interests in urban novels.
However, in this book, her description was minimal, and she had little interaction with the protagonist Lin Tianyang.
While Chu Yuan was observing her, she was also observing him.
Chu Yuan’s reputation was not bad. The typical vices of wealthy young masters did not appear in him.
The only negative comment was that he had acted as Chen Xue’s lapdog for several years.
“More handsome than I expected.”
“That gentle and refined smile… worthy of a young master of the Chu Family.”
Lin Wanzhu showed her credentials. “Chariman Chu, hello. I am Lin Wanzhu from the Criminal Investigation Team.”
“Chariman Chu, are you certain you want to report this? Arresting so many people at once will have a significant impact on your company.”
Her voice pulled Chu Yuan back from his thoughts.
Since this had nothing to do with the protagonist, Chu Yuan did not intend to dwell on it further.
After all, there were countless women in the world. He could not chase after every one of them.
“A mere impact? What do I, Chu Yuan, have to fear?”
“As the saying goes, kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. Unfortunately, these chickens have become the example.”
“Shishi, hand the materials to Captain Lin. Leave the rest to them.”
Indeed, Chu Yuan had not called Lin Wanzhu here just to admire her beauty.
Anyone who dared to betray him would not have a good ending.
Showing mercy to enemies was cruelty to oneself.
Even if these people were not worthy of being his enemies, he would not let them off.
Seeing that Chu Yuan had made up his mind, Lin Wanzhu said nothing more.
She herself hated evil and despised such criminals.
Soon, cries of pleading could be heard from outside.
After the pleas came curses, accusing Chu Yuan of betrayal, of breaking his word, of setting them up.
“Shishi, tell them later. Their mouths are too filthy. Make them mute for the rest of their lives.”
Zuo Shishi merely nodded slightly.
After settling the internal matters, Chu Yuan made further arrangements at a rapid pace, waiting only for the protagonist Lin Tianyang to descend the mountain.
