Chapter 341: Dismissal!

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Dismissal!

Xia Bowen hadn’t seen Shangguan Heng for many years.

He thought he was already shameless.

But Shangguan Heng’s skin was even thicker than his; knowing full well how much he detested him, fully aware of his unforgivable misdeeds, how could he speak those words with a smile?

If not for him, how would Xia Bowen have fallen into this situation?

Xia Bowen suppressed the hatred in his heart and asked in a more amiable tone, "What meeting is this? It seems quite important. Shall we proceed with the discussion here in the meeting room?"

The leader said, "As long as Chairman Shangguan doesn’t mind, here is fine with us."

Then he gave Xia Bowen a brief introduction. Upon hearing it was about a refrigerator production line, Xia Bowen glanced at Song Yunuan.

Little Nuan and he had mentioned that in Country X, outdated equipment was being relabeled and prepared to be sold here as new.

Apparently, there was an additional fee for technical documents.

Xia Bowen asked, "Which country’s equipment is it?"

The leader replied, "It’s from Country X, from a company that specializes in manufacturing refrigerators. Chairman Shangguan has detailed information about it."

The leader then looked at Gu Huai’an sitting beside him.

The very thing they had been discussing in their meeting was this: since the decree had been issued, many factories in large coastal cities like Nan City, Guang City, and Hai City were looking for joint ventures, ready to introduce production lines and technology for machinery and equipment.

However, an urgent meeting had been called from higher up.

Introducing technology was fine, but it had to be reasonable and scientific.

Further observation, research, and analysis were necessary.

Gu Huai’an was the head of the inspection team, and their first stop was Nan City.

This was the place where the most foreign technology and equipment were being introduced.

So far, more than a hundred contracts had been signed.

Some indeed had issues, while others were okay and fell under reasonable scientific introduction.

Dealing with problematic ones wasn’t easy; contracts had already been signed, and money had been paid. Even if there were penalties for the responsible supervisors, the damage was done, and now it was all about minimizing the loss.

The deal with Shangguan Heng was still in the early stages of discussion, with nothing concrete yet.

Gu Huai’an looked at Xiao Wu beside him, who opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out the documents inside, and placed them before Gu Huai’an.

The leader glanced at the file and clenched his fist discreetly.

He introduced loudly, "This is group leader Gu from the Beidu inspection team, mainly responsible for auditing foreign investment projects."

Those in the know didn’t react.

But those unaware were caught off guard for a moment.

Some had heard that the higher-ups’ policy was that introduction of foreign technology was good, but it couldn’t be done blindly.

No wonder even the boss was so courteous to him.

Xia Bowen smiled.

It figured; a man like Gu Huai’an wouldn’t be the type to chase after Little Nuan even if he liked her.

So he was from the inspection team.

In a gentle voice, Gu Huai’an asked Shangguan Heng, "Chairman Shangguan, which company in Country X is the partner for the refrigerator production?"

The light in Shangguan Heng’s eyes flickered.

This young man turned out to be the leader of the inspection team.

No wonder even the top official, whom he had not had the privilege of meeting, was all smiles towards him, and now sat by his side.

And at this moment, Xia Bowen and a few others were simmering with rage, especially Xia Xindong, whose eyes were bloodshot, probably because the other madman inside him was about to come out, right?

What could he do to provoke that emergence?

He knew that madman was terrifying; he had almost strangled him to death once.

Bloodshot eyes were the sign it was about to happen, and when that lunatic came out, he would be much more fearsome than Second Young Master Zhong.

He was the kind that would dare to devour people.

If he really did emerge, it would be a wonderful thing.

Then everyone would be too busy laughing at Xia Xindong’s spectacle to pay attention to him.

If the scene turned chaotic and that madman tried to kill him, with so many people around, he would definitely be safe.

Shangguan Heng’s lips couldn’t help but curl up at the thought.

But these thoughts were fleeting.

He immediately answered, "It’s from the Dewar Electrical Group Company."

Gu Huai’an’s expression was calm, but his voice was somewhat icy, "Dewar is a company on the blacklist, their equipment is outdated and obsolete. Now that they know we are looking to introduce new equipment, they have refurbished their discarded devices to look new and are preparing to scam others into getting involved. It’s been verified, there’s no need for this meeting anymore."

Gu Huai’an stood up.

His gaze coldly swept over Shangguan Heng.

This conniving businessman full of schemes would be handled by Xia Bowen and Little Nuan.

With a firm hand, he picked up the documents and dropped them onto the table with a neither light nor heavy thud, then said, "Meeting adjourned!"

The leaders and directors were all stunned.

Then quickly coming to their senses, some felt a sense of relief. Had they made a grand fuss for days only to be deceived, it would have been quite the unpleasant situation.

So, they too hurriedly stood up and said to Shangguan Heng with a smile, "Since that’s the case, please feel as if you’re just here to visit relatives. The conference room is at your disposal for the time being, take your time and have a good chat, no rush."

Shangguan Heng had never anticipated such a turn of events.

He couldn’t help but look at the young man with an unyielding stance and a straight figure.

Walking alongside were the leaders.

As he was in the middle, his status was naturally the most special.

The Gu group?

Could it be Gu Huai’an?

Shangguan Heng was suddenly startled and couldn’t help but look at Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan gave him a chilling smile.

In no time, only Shangguan Heng, four bodyguards, Xia Bowen, and others remained.

But at this moment, Zhong Daqiao arrived, and naturally, he couldn’t allow so many bodyguards into the conference room.

With anger suppressed, he briskly entered with Zhong Tianci and two bodyguards in tow.

Then they saw the several people who were confronting one another.

Shangguan Heng was inside the conference room, with the four bodyguards standing in front of him, while Xia Xindong was walking forward with Xia Bowen by his side.

Song Yunuan stood at the door, preventing Shangguan Heng from escaping.

She also told Second Young Master Zhong to stay put and not to act alone.

Before she could finish her warning, Zhong Daqiao came in.

Song Yunuan turned her head and said, "Youngest Aunt, now that Chairman Zhong is here, let’s discuss the salary issue first."

Zhong Daqiao was stunned. What did she mean by discussing salary?

Xia Xindong continued to walk forward.

Song Yunuan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xia Xindong’s arm.

Looking into his eyes, she drawled, "Youngest Aunt, I said let’s talk about the salary first, other matters can wait."

Xia Xindong abruptly stopped in his tracks.

His gaze, filled with darkness, flickered over to Shangguan Heng, whose expression had drastically changed, then he nodded.

Song Yunuan clapped her hands cheerfully, "Chairman Shangguan, Chairman Zhong, we’re only missing Chairman Wang, but that’s not a big problem, having you two families here will suffice.

You’ve both been in such a rush to get to Nan City, surely knowing that my youngest aunt is here and that you owe him thirty years of wages. You’ve come of your own accord to make payment. I’m wondering if it’s going to be in cash or by cheque, and how much do you plan to offer?"

Zhong Daqiao’s expression turned very ugly.

Asking for wages?

This was quite a novel accusation.

Song Yunuan couldn’t be bothered to dally with them and straightforwardly asked, rather arrogantly, "Well, speak up. Are your minds and ears not working well?"

Zhong Tianci really couldn’t stand Song Yunuan’s arrogant demeanor.

Especially seeing his younger brother acting like a fool following her around.

He rebuked her sharply, "What nonsense are you spouting here, girl? What thirty years of wages, have you gone mad from poverty?"
