Seeing Lin Yongqiang's expression turn to the utmost ugliness, they knew that he was truly in a state of utter confusion...

After exchanging glances, they eagerly hurried to ask, "Chairman Lin, tell us, what should we do now?"

All of them looked up to Lin Yongqiang as their leader, so now they all hoped he could lead them out of this predicament.

Hearing everyone's questions, Lin Yongqiang's face slightly changed.

"How would I know what to do!"

After muttering this to himself in annoyance, he looked at everyone and said in an incredibly somber tone, "I can't think of any good solutions at the moment. Let's do this, let's put away the latest financial statements for now, and make sure our company's shareholders don't see them, understand?"

Lin Yongqiang knew that the company's losses were so severe that they absolutely couldn't let the shareholders see them, otherwise they would really force him to leave...

Hearing Lin Yongqiang's serious instructions, they nodded quickly, "Yes, Chairman Lin. We understand, we'll do as you say!"

"Hmm, for now..."

As Lin Yongqiang's mood slightly improved and he was about to give another instruction, a loud noise interrupted him.

Turning his head with a grim face, Lin Yongqiang saw that the door had been kicked open...

"Damn it, who is it? Don't you know I'm in a meeting right now? I..."

Looking at the twisted door that had been kicked in, Lin Yongqiang roared hysterically.

He couldn't finish his sentence, because he realized that it wasn't just anybody who had kicked the door down so frantically. It was the company's shareholders.

Seeing each one of their expressions looking terrible, Lin Yongqiang's eyelid twitched.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yongqiang said with a smile, "Dear shareholders, next time, just give me a heads-up before you come, so I can prepare a proper welcome."

Hearing Lin Yongqiang speak like this, they sneered back, "Give you a heads-up? So you can stow away all the financial statements?"

"Exactly!"

Capturing their sarcasm, Lin Yongqiang forced a laugh, "This... what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand!"

"Don't quite understand? Stop playing dumb with us. We have our informants inside the company, and we have already received the latest financial statements. How badly are we losing now? And here you are, trying to play the fool, do you think we're idiots?"

"That's right, don't forget who it was that supported you to the top in the first place!"

"Indeed, if we could support you to the top back then, we can take you down now. So you'd better give us a reasonable explanation."

Hearing such threats, Lin Yongqiang's expression turned hideously ugly!

As the president of the company, being scolded in front of so many subordinates, Lin Yongqiang felt he didn't have an ounce of face left.

Lin Yongqiang really wanted to curse right back at them, but he knew he couldn't do that...

Because falling out with them now would not benefit him in the slightest.

To secure the outside, one must first stabilize the inside.

Dealing with Hu Xiaobei was now the top priority.

With this in mind, he suppressed the urge to burst out swearing and said with a smile, "Dear shareholders, I know the company is indeed facing some issues right now. But I believe that as long as we work together, we can easily overcome this difficulty. So please give me just a little more time."

...

"Overcome difficulties together? You talk of overcoming difficulties? Are you joking!"

"Yeah, do you think we're fools? Our market share is only a few percent now."

"Exactly!"

Hearing Lin Yongqiang talk of overcoming difficulties together, they sneered again and again.

Previously, due to monopolization, 'Yongqiang Brand' held seventy to eighty percent of the market share.

They used to make money just lying down, but now they had only a few percent left, which infuriated them completely.

Unable to bear such mockery, Lin Yongqiang finally snapped.

After slamming the table fiercely, Lin Yongqiang roared hysterically, "Is scolding me of any use? If the market share could be regained by scolding me, then I wouldn't do a thing, and I'd let you scold me all day. But the person you need to scold now is not me, it's Hu Xiaobei! He's the one who stole our market share!"

Hearing Lin Yongqiang's frantic outburst, the shareholders frowned slightly.

Of course, they were all aware that it was Hu Xiaobei who had stolen the market share.

Seeing his words had an effect, Lin Yongqiang was slightly pleased and said more calmly, "Dear shareholders, listen to me. I've been the chairman for so many years; I've seen all sorts of storms, so I'm definitely not going to capsize in the gutter."

As he said this and saw their expressions ease, he continued, "Just wait, soon, I'll show that damn peasant how formidable I am. Soon, I will make him spit out every bit of the market share he has gobbled up."

"We hope so indeed!"

"Hmm!"

After their expressions softened somewhat, they exchanged looks and tentatively believed Lin Yongqiang!

...

After sending them all away, Lin Yongqiang returned to his office.

Thinking of the market share taken by Hu Xiaobei, he violently smashed the object in his hand.

After breaking it, an infuriated Lin Yongqiang cast a cold glance into the distance and spoke chillingly, "Hu Xiaobei, this time you forced my hand! I'm going to employ my trump card now. I'm really looking forward to seeing your terrified face."

After saying this with chilling resolve, Lin Yongqiang chuckled sinisterly, and soon, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Quickly, Lin Yongqiang heard an emotionless response on the other end of the line.

At that, Lin Yongqiang shivered all over.

At that moment, he truly felt a bone-chilling cold!

"It looks like after such a long time apart, the other side's abilities have improved a lot!" he thought. Taking a deep breath, Lin Yongqiang quickly groveled, "Wizard Zhu, this is Lin Yongqiang. We met previously in Miaojiang, I have a favor to ask of you."

"It's you! You want me to take action on your behalf? You should know the price of hiring me!"

Hearing the chilling, direct inquiry, Lin Yongqiang winced, then plucked up his courage to say, "Yes! I know, and I've got ten million ready for you. As long as you can do the task I need done, the money is yours."

"Hmm, since you know the rules, that's good. I'll be over in the next few days. You get everything ready in advance!"

"Great, Wizard Zhu, I'll be waiting."

After hanging up, Lin Yongqiang sneered repeatedly.

"Hu Xiaobei, this time I want to see how you die!"

Having said that, an expressionless Lin Yongqiang began to reminisce about the first time he had met Wizard Zhu...
