"Alright, everyone, no need to argue anymore. Uninvolved personnel may leave," Chen Jie said indifferently.
Liu Mei's entire body trembled.
If she left this office today, she feared she would never have a chance to return.
She could not accept this reality.
Was she really going to be dismissed just like this?
All her hard work and effort had amounted to nothing.
She would gain nothing, and in the future, she would be seen as a nobody.
Perhaps she could rely on her beauty to climb back up.
But it would never compare to the status she held now.
Unwilling!
Uncomprehending.
Angry.
"Miss Liu, you should leave first," someone reminded Liu Mei.
"No!"
"I still have a chance!"
"The voting isn't over yet!"
Liu Mei laughed mockingly, "You're forcing my hand!"
"Fan Hao!"
Liu Mei looked at Fan Hao and suddenly took a stack of documents from her pocket, flinging them onto the table.
Fan Hao's heart tightened.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Liu Mei said, "This is evidence of you embezzling public funds and selling company assets! You've committed the crime of occupation of duties! Therefore, your vote is void! And you will be expelled from the board of directors!"
Fan Hao's face changed drastically.
Earlier, Chen Jie had been able to threaten him with such matters because the evidence was his, and Chen Jie had infiltrated his home and caught him red-handed.
He didn't believe Liu Mei had evidence of him embezzling public funds.
But now that Liu Mei had directly presented the evidence, it struck him like lightning, and he looked despairing.
However, he didn't know that Zhang Cheng wasn't a fool. In fact, Zhang Cheng had already sensed that someone was causing trouble in the company and had been investigating secretly, gathering evidence.
As Zhang Cheng's wife, Liu Mei naturally knew about this.
Du Jin quickly took the documents and examined them, his hands shaking with anger.
"Fan Hao, Brother Zhang has always treated us shareholders very well! He often gave us benefits, and this is how you treat Brother Zhang's company?"
Fan Hao looked at Chen Jie for help.
Hoping Chen Jie would protect him.
He knew that without him, Chen Jie would only have three supporters.
And the last one, Wan Jie, was clearly on Liu Mei's side.
Wan Jie, coincidentally, was the shareholder with the highest stake in the company besides Zhang Cheng.
Without his vote, Zhang Xinyan would lose.
However, Fan Hao was disappointed.
Chen Jie remained unmoved.
"Get out! We don't have vermin like you in our company!"
"Prepare to be investigated!"
Everyone shouted.
Fan Hao stood up in despair, "I will compensate the company for its assets."
Liu Mei smiled confidently, "That's for the best, otherwise, you can look forward to eating prison food!"
Fan Hao walked out dejectedly.
Liu Mei looked at Chen Jie, "You lost!"
Chen Jie said indifferently, "That's not necessarily true!"
"Hmph! You won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Fine, you want to go through the procedures? So be it!"
Liu Mei looked at Wan Jie, "Wan Jie, vote!"
Wan Jie sat in his chair, looking dazed.
Liu Mei frowned, "Wan Jie!"
Wan Jie blinked, then stood up.
Liu Mei looked at Zhang Xinyan and said smugly, "You're still too young to fight with me!"
Zhang Xinyan gritted her teeth, but she was helpless.
"You're celebrating too early. Director Wan hasn't cast his vote yet," Chen Jie said with a light chuckle, as if watching a clown.
Yesterday, Chen Jie knew he couldn't persuade Wan Jie, so he used his mental power to control him.
Whether Wan Jie voted or not was up to Chen Jie.
"Isn't that up to me to say? Wan Jie, cast your vote!" Liu Mei shouted angrily.
Wan Jie said in a daze, "I, I abstain!"
"What? What did you say? Wan Jie, say that again!"
Liu Mei grabbed Wan Jie excitedly.
"Ms. Liu, don't be like that! Don't bully people in our company!"
"That's right, Ms. Liu. It's Wan Jie's freedom to abstain, and you can't control it."
Liu Mei was suddenly filled with despair. Just a few days ago, they had all called her Director Liu.
Now that she was about to lose, they had instantly changed to Ms. Liu.
"Director Zhang, from now on, you are our company's boss!" Du Jin said to Zhang Xinyan respectfully.
Zhang Xinyan took a deep breath and walked up to Liu Mei, "Please move aside, don't sit in my seat!"
Liu Mei's face turned as red as blood.
But she could only move away.
Then, Zhang Xinyan said, "Now, I declare that regardless of any position Liu Mei holds in the company, she is immediately fired!"
Liu Mei was struck by lightning.
Zhang's mother let out a sigh of relief, a cold smile on her face.
She looked at Yang Lihuan, "I'm sorry to have disappointed you. You didn't get my son's fortune!"
"You..."
Yang Lihuan looked at Liu Mei and said unwillingly, "Daughter, are we done now?"
Liu Mei gave a bitter smile and did not answer.
Zhang's mother continued, "In-laws, if you need jobs, you can tell me. I'll have my daughter arrange a toilet-cleaning job for you at the company!"
"Also, we have a club in Pingcheng. If your daughter needs it, I can let her work there to make big money."
Yang Lihuan's face turned green and white.
She had previously mocked Zhang's mother in the same way.
Now, it was Zhang's mother's turn to treat her like this.
"Daughter, what's going on? Tell me, it's not over yet, we still have hope, right?"
It only took a few minutes to go from heaven to hell.
Yang Lihuan had already prepared herself to be the mother of a billionaire. Now she was told she wouldn't get anything, and she simply couldn't accept it.
"Lihuan, don't worry! No matter what, Liu Mei is Zhang Cheng's wife, and she has inheritance rights to Zhang Cheng's fortune! No matter what, we won't lose out. She'll at least get half of this property!"
Yang Shan comforted her.
He saw things clearly.
Failure now would only mean losing the status of a billionaire.
But as one whale falls, all things live.
Zhang Cheng, the fat sheep, was dead, and Liu Mei would still inherit part of his fortune.
A small portion would be enough for the rest of their lives.
"Right! I am Zhang Cheng's wife, and I can still get money!"
Liu Mei said excitedly to Zhang Xinyan, "Zhang Xinyan, don't be happy too soon! I'm going to sue you! This company's assets will be half mine sooner or later! Just you wait!"
"Liu Mei, you're celebrating too soon."
Chen Jie said sympathetically.
"What do you mean?" Liu Mei's heart tightened.
So far, it was this man who had been ruining her plans.
She had become somewhat paranoid about Chen Jie.
As soon as Chen Jie spoke, she felt a sense of unease.
Chen Jie smiled faintly, "Do you think today's matter is over? Do you really think no one knows you caused the deaths of Zhang Cheng and Old Master Zhang?"
As soon as he said this, the conference room erupted in an uproar.
This news was too explosive, and the crowd couldn't react for a moment.
Since Liu Mei had become Zhang Cheng's wife, she was practically guaranteed a life of luxury and wealth. They couldn't fathom why Liu Mei would want to kill Zhang Cheng.
