Part Two: The Great Sugar of Eastern Land, Chapter 174

about former classmates. Tang Weijun kept in touch with most of his classmates, so he talked about many of their current situations. Shu Tinglan just listened, occasionally nodding in agreement, unti...When he got angry, everyone present felt a degree of fear. The conference room fell silent, but they all subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man named Chen who was closest to him.

That was Zhao Jiayuan, a distant relative of Zhao Tingxing who had brought him into the industry. Everyone respectfully called him Uncle Chen. He was originally the foreman on construction sites and brought Zhao Tingxing from that small town to the construction site, taking good care of him.

After Zhao Tingxing's rise to success, the company assigned him a position. A few years ago, during the golden age of the real estate industry, he was responsible for developing projects in small cities of the fourth and fifth tier. He made significant contributions to the company, and his ego grew increasingly inflated.

Over the past few years, Zhao Tingxing has been making a transition. He's resolutely avoiding real estate in small cities of tier four and five. Additionally, Chen Shu is getting older, and many of his ideas are no longer keeping pace with the development of modern society. Therefore, Zhao Tingxing intends to sideline him and let him retire early to enjoy his golden years at home.

But this old Chen was the first person to be by his side. Many of the company's veterans were recruited and cultivated by him back then, forming a group of trusted confidants. So if you touch him, the company will inevitably be thrown into turmoil.

Lao Chen saw that he wouldn't dare to confront him, so he became even more reckless recently. Knowing the county's project would lose money, he took the land when he wasn't looking.

The county is a poverty-stricken area with a small population and poor mobility. The housing market is already saturated, so buying back property would inevitably result in financial losses.

Lao Chen might have a misunderstanding about him. He's not afraid to touch him, it was just the wrong time before.

"Uncle Chen, you spent several hundred million without explanation" In the large conference room full of company executives, he didn't give anyone face and publicly questioned him loudly.

Lao Chen, being a seasoned veteran, said: "Tingxing, how could you say that I spent several hundred million I did this for the company's development. I led a team to inspect this project in the county. The location is stunning, nestled amidst mountains and by the water. As long as we develop it, I guarantee every unit will be snatched up immediately, guaranteeing profit."

Zhao Tingxing: "Did you go on a site visit with the group You're leading a group of people who only care about food, drink, prostitution and gambling, aren't you After visiting for a week, your entire team called dozens of prostitutes. How old are you Don't you fear dying from exhaustion in bed"

He was crude and unrestrained, causing the executives who had accompanied Lao Chen on the inspection to lower their heads in awkward silence.

"Don't think that just because I'm away, you can all run wild and act recklessly under my nose."

Lao Chen still insisted, "The county is our old stronghold. We developed new products that are both good quality and affordable, so we're also benefiting the people of the county."

"Do you want to benefit the people Then, will you put up these hundreds of millions Or will you"

After that, he lowered his head and pressed his phone. The finance vice president, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came in. This time, he returned to the company to settle old scores with these old-timers, both past and present. He intended to take them all down in one fell swoop, leaving no room for future trouble.

Of course, you could also call him a traitor or someone who forgets old friendships. But in business, if someone is no longer valuable, especially those who are like ants slowly gnawing away at the company, they should pack up and leave immediately.

Led by Lao Chen, several people saw all the evidence brought out by the CFO. It was enough to put them in jail for life, and their faces turned pale one by one.

Zhao Tingxing: "Relax, we have old feelings. I'm not someone who would be heartless."

Just when everyone thought he was going to play the sentimental card, he suddenly turned fierce: "I could kill you all in minutes, but there's no need. Just split up and leave the company peacefully, don't cause any trouble, and I'll take care of you in your old age."

These people have followed him for so many years, accumulating so much wealth that they probably can't even count it themselves, but Zhao Tingxing keeps a record of every penny they've made, not a single one missing.

The other older employees knew how ruthless Zhao Tingxing was. If they didn't follow his lead and leave, he might even take their savings. So they all stayed silent.

Only Lao Chen was still struggling: “You can’t walk by the river every day without getting your shoes wet. All the bad things you’ve done, I've noted them down one by one. You think you're the only one with a plan, and everyone else is a fool, letting you manipulate them.”

Zhao Tingxing glared at Lao Chen, "Good, you still have some backbone, didn't kneel so quickly. But if you have the opportunity not to kneel, then you can only lie down."

The typical response is "to drink the punishment" when one refuses a toast.

After that, he ordered his bodyguards to take these elders away from the company, not even giving them time to gather their personal belongings.

Lao Chen refused to leave, ranting: "Zhao Tingxing, you ungrateful wretch! Without me and Han Li helping you, would you be where you are today You are a heartless ingrate."

From Lao Chen, I heard about Han Li. He frowned, what did she have to do with him

The woman who scorned him for his poverty and left him before he made his fortune can be called a heartless wretch by anyone, but Han Li is the only one who has no right to do so.

Old Chen was overpowered by the bodyguards and dragged out of Zhao's gate.

Once Zhao Tingxing made up his mind to do something, he would act decisively and leave no room for hesitation. The entire conference room had returned to a state of uneasy silence after the previous shock, no, it was more like an eerie stillness now, with everyone feeling apprehensive.

Zhao Tingxing finished dealing with those old fellows, it was already time to get off work, but he didn't mean to disperse. He continued flipping through the materials about that piece of land in the county in his hand.

This piece of land isn't worth this price at all, and he can't afford to put any more money into developing it. But he would never do a losing business deal, so his mind is racing, calculating how to turn a loss into a profit.

The conference room was deathly silent. He didn't leave, and no one dared to leave first.

But he wouldn't speak, and everyone could only sit there with him.

He didn't look up from the pile of papers until very late, as if he had only just noticed that there were still people in the conference room. "Why aren't you all leaving for the day"

A group of executives

< Just now you looked like you were going to kill someone, you didn't say we could leave, who would dare go first >

He finished speaking and waved them away, urging them to leave quickly. He still had things to do.

Everyone sat for most of the afternoon, completely still, their legs going numb. They hurriedly got up and filed out.

When he was alone in the meeting room, he called Gu Ruandong.

On that side, Gu Ruandong and Yaoyao finally coaxed their son to sleep and handed him over to the aunt. Just as they stepped into the bedroom and were about to kiss passionately, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted them. They pretended not to hear it and didn't pick up.

But his phone kept ringing, as if in opposition to him, persistently interrupting him. He couldn't concentrate at all. YaoYao smiled and pushed him away: "Go answer the phone first."

He was panting, one hand still circled her waist, the other impatiently glanced at his phone. Seeing Zhao Tingxing's name on the screen, he hung up directly, then turned it off, throwing it casually onto the sofa beside him. He leaned down and continued to gently grind and nibble on Yaoyao's lips.t as she turned a corner, someone suddenly pulled her into an embrace, pressing her back against the wall.She let out a soft gasp, only then realizing it was Shi Yan.He lowered his head to look at her...
