her head to glance at him in a panic, her expression filled with alarm. He seemed lazily relaxed there, but his dark eyes held a storm brewing within. His handsome face was contorted in fury, every...After the call ended, Rong Qi was exhilarated. Like a child, he jumped right up from his chair and paced back and forth in the office excitedly for several rounds. Finally, after suppressing his excitement, he sat back down in his leather chair, grabbed a pen and paper, and started scribbling furiously.
Once he had a plan in mind, he immediately left the room and instructed his secretary outside to call the high-level executives of each department, informing them that there would be a meeting in fifteen minutes. He then ordered her to get a new phone for his office. The well-trained secretary obeyed orders, notifying everyone accordingly, and wisely refrained from asking about the fate of the previous phone. She simply calmly replaced it with a brand new spare phone.
Rong Qi's hands tightened around the shiny new microphone, his heart brimming with pride.
A new microphone, it seems to symbolize a brand new beginning!
You'll wait, Rong Ling! You'll pay for this!
Smiling, he dialed the phone.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was in place and the meeting began. At the start of the meeting, Rong Qikeng's sincerity moved people deeply.
"I'm very sorry that the talks with Mic Company have come to an end. This is a significant loss for the company; it's a blow to me, to you all. First and foremost, regardless of the circumstances, I need to apologize for this failed attempt. Although this was a team effort, as the leader, I bear undeniable responsibility for this failure!"
After a pause, he looked around at the people sitting below him and was pleased to see the emotion on many of their faces.
He continued, this time with encouragement.
“Therefore, please don't take this too hard. I think we've all done our best. As for Ya-dong, from its initial development to now, we've encountered setbacks like this countless times. I believe that our team is the most outstanding team, and everyone present are elites among elites. So, when reflecting on this failure, let's not be discouraged. Let's continue to move forward with big strides. I firmly believe that what awaits us in the future can only be better.”
"Slap--Slap--"
After the first clap, a ripple of applause followed, like waves crashing against rocks, "whooshing" one after another. Rong Fei Wu was right, these executives needed encouragement from their superiors now more than ever. This was their first major performance since the new head of the household took charge, and their poor performance left them feeling embarrassed and unable to face their superiors. Especially since their superior had taken responsibility proactively.
As for Cheung Kwai-kong, some people had held him in low regard and even resentment due to his remarks. However, after hearing this, their perception of him has changed. Actually, don't compare Cheung Kwai-kong too much with Cheung Ling. He's still pretty good. After all, it's highly unlikely that Cheung Ling will return, especially since he is now the CEO of Shum Woo and wouldn't even need to compete for Ya Tung.
So, after several of Tong Qikang's most loyal subordinates expressed their gratitude and continued support for Tong Qikang and encouraged him to continue his efforts, others also shared their opinions, roughly meaning that they would carry on the work and strive to ensure that Yadong continues to develop steadily.
Rong Qikeng kept smiling and nodding throughout the conversation, which gave everyone great encouragement. The atmosphere gradually became more lively, and the gloom that had been swirling in everyone's minds also dissipated a lot. Just when everyone seemed to be able to communicate with Rong Qikeng as usual, Rong Qikeng raised his hand and motioned for everyone to quiet down.
Everybody fell silent and looked at Rong Qikeng.
"Actually, after the fact, I called mic several times to inquire about the specific reasons. Finally, I got a glimpse of the truth - mic had a new crush and gave the other party a lot of affirmation. When I asked who the other party was, mic's company side didn't reveal anything more. And coincidentally, this morning, a major event happened, I think many people present probably already know!"
After a pause, he glanced at the people below and continued.
"Yes, this major event is our former president Rong Ling. He took over Shuangmu Group and became the new president of Shuangmu Group. At the same time, he is also the largest shareholder of Shuangmu Group. And, according to his own disclosure, that company has only been in operation for six years. I wonder if any of you present can see something unreasonable from these small pieces of information!"
Silence!
That is a common reaction.
Because, this is a difficult question to answer. Rong Ling and Rong Qikeng are both people who cannot be offended. If they were to say the wrong thing, and it reached Rong Ling's ears afterward, they would surely regret it. So everyone just watched Rong Qikeng, waiting for him to continue speaking himself.
Even Rong Qingen knew these people's "slickness" and didn't expect any fools to readily agree, so he purposely let out a heavy sigh, conveying his current feeling of heaviness and helplessness.
“I have to admit, my brother Rong Ling is truly an exceptional person. When he was at YADONG, he brought in significant achievements for our company. Even after his resignation, I know many people in the company expressed their reluctance to see him go. However, today morning's revelation of his dual identity as the president of Shuangmu Group leaves me with a heavy heart. I have to suspect that his resignation was a carefully orchestrated plan, a way to escape after transferring countless assets. Moreover, the news from Mic Company about a potential new partner also raises my suspicions—it might very well be Shuangmu Group!”
One word spoken can create a thousand ripples.
Though they didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces betrayed their feelings—whether it was surprise, shock, doubt, disbelief, anger, or perhaps a sense of justified outrage....
Then Rong Qi's voice lowered as he continued.
“My first contact with mic was through Rong Ling, and I took over later. So what happened between Rong Ling and mic, I don't know. All I know is that our team is excellent and hardworking. Logically, taking over this project should have been a natural progression, but now, miraculously, it’s simply impossible, and mic can't give us a reason that we find convincing. So, I suspect Rong Ling, I suspect Shuimu.”
Let's think about it, why could an unknown company at the beginning become one of the top 100 in the world in just six years! Rong Ling said he invested in Shuimu earlier, so how much did he invest then! Later, in the development process of Shuimu, how much did he continue to invest! How many times did he take advantage of his position to secretly transfer contracts that Ya Dong might have signed to Shuimu! How many relationships did he help Shuimu clear and how much disaster did he block as the chairman of Tangtang Group!
On that point, his voice suddenly grew grave again.
Before leaving, Rong Ling's performance was very poor, causing significant losses to our company, A-Dong. Everyone knows about this. (..tw好看的小說) This isn't in line with Rong Ling's usual style, is it But now, with the emergence of Shuang Mu, everything seems to make sense. Perhaps this is all for his new group's benefit, sacrificing A-Dong in exchange for some kind of agreement with several foreign companies. Or perhaps, A-Dong's consecutive losses are beneficial to Shuang Mu, allowing him to seize market share that originally belonged to A-Dong.
Such behavior is extremely malicious and shameless!
And some of you may know that after Rong Ling's resignation, I relentlessly pursued the assets under Rong Ling's name. Because of this, I seem to have been labeled as 'cold-blooded', 'too ruthless'. But now, I might as well tell everyone, the reason why I went to such lengths was because I suspected that during his tenure, Rong Ling had pocketed a large sum of money that didn't belong to him. What I did was solely to recover what rightfully belonged to the company. However, before there were any results, I couldn't explain it to anyone. And because Rong Ling is my brother, I had to consider our familial bond and give him face. So, I rather became the 'villain' and let everyone misunderstand me, quietly recovering those assets. Later on, due to various reasons, I wasn't able to continue the investigation, and what was recovered was pitiful. There was nothing I could say, so I just wanted to let it go. Perhaps, I really misunderstood my brother.
But now, let's look and see how Rong Ling has become so glorious, and how he built his own private assets by transferring our East Asian assets!
This is simply unforgivable!
Rong Ling is my younger brother. I shouldn't have been so malicious in speculating about my own relatives, but now that I am the head of the Rong family and the president of the East Asia Group, I have to put aside my relationship with Rong Ling and rationally look at the problem. Furthermore, I must strike out against anyone who could potentially harm the Rong family or the East Asia Group. In this position, I can only first be the head of the entire clan, then Rong Qikeng, and finally Rong Ling's brother.
So, after this meeting, I will file a police report and request the police to investigate Rong Ling's "abuse of power." I will do everything in my power to recover the assets that have been siphoned away due to his personal gain. I absolutely will not stand idly by while such a person who has enriched himself by exploiting the Rong family exists. Anyone who is detrimental to our Rong family and YADONG, I will severely punish them and make them understand what the Rong family and YADONG truly are!
After finishing his words, Rong Qi's Keng heavily slammed the table, seemingly enraged to a certain degree, unable to bear it any longer.
The sudden "bang" startled quite a few people.
To be honest, the information revealed by Rong Qikeng surprised them. More of them, on this morning after the failed negotiations when everyone was feeling down, hadn't even considered Rong Ling's success from the perspective that Rong Qikeng described. But now that Rong Qikeng presented his case so convincingly with supporting evidence, they had to consider it, and began muttering to themselves. Even some people who were very trusting of Rong Ling started to have some doubts in their minds.
As Ruan Rongqi said, the Ruan family members must first put family interests above all else, and then allow themselves to have their own private desires and affections.
Faced with the possibility of Rong Jia's assets being encroached upon and misappropriated by Rong Ling, and in large amounts, they find it hard to remain calm.
The expressions of some people
had changed. Rong Qikeng saw this, and immediately seized the opportunity to press his advantage, his low voice rising again.
"Here, I sincerely ask everyone for help! If anyone knows anything about the abuse of power in Rongling, or even just a general idea or clue, please tell me privately. I will remember your contributions to Yadong. Or, due to some reason, some of you know something but are not convenient to reveal your name, you can also send me an anonymous email. I, Rong Qikeng, the current head of the Rong family, would like to thank everyone first."
"Thank you," he accompanied these two words with a bow, bending down to do a standard ninety-degree bow.
This was a very solemn expression of gratitude, touching many present. Those from Pang Ching's camp, having received guidance from Pang Ching beforehand, immediately spoke up, expressing their hatred for Rong Ling's actions and firmly supporting the police's involvement in a just and rigorous investigation. At the same time, they also pledged to do their utmost to collect evidence from all parties to assist in the investigation.
It seems that what Rong Qi'heng said is true, and Rong Ling is guilty!
Fueled by their fervor, some people also became indignant and expressed their willingness to help. Most of these helpers were young people, full of blood and passion, who were easily swayed and often lost themselves in the crowd, blindly following the lead.
While some people kept their rationality and said nothing, only observing deeply. They are the ones with a vast universe within them. However, some people held great doubts about what Rong Qi Keng had said. They were helpless because the voices against Rong Ling were so high now. If they said one word, they would be countered ten times by those who were driven by their hot blood. They could only remain in a suffocating silence. Some began to hatch other plans, thinking that once the meeting was over, they should inform Rong Ling to be careful. Besides, there were some other people…
In short, each with their own thoughts!
For Ke, this was a victory start. As long as they keep this momentum up, with everyone contributing and the flames of public outrage burning high, they're bound to expose some of Rong Ling’s flaws. But after the meeting, his triumph didn't last long. A phone call from Rong Fei Wu soon came in, reprimanding him severely.
"What utter nonsense you were spouting at the meeting. Rong Qikeng, this time you've gone too far, made a huge mistake! I asked you to preside over the meeting and boost morale, not to do something like this. You're basically trying to shift your own mistakes onto Rong Ling to cover them up. This approach is very displeasing to me!"
"Dad, I'm encouraged, and I feel like I did a really great job hosting this meeting. It went very well! Please don't be too biased!"
"My selfishness is too heavy!" Rong Fei roared.
“If you’re not intentionally trying to protect the mistreatment, then you should acknowledge my meeting content!” Chung said coldly, his voice firm. He believed everything he did was justified, so he wasn't afraid of anyone's questions or accusations, even if that person was his father.
Rong Fei was furious!
Selfish!
What private agenda could he possibly have!
His biggest selfish desire was to secure a good future for his grandson, so he drove away Rong Ling and put his son's father in that position. Look at what this eldest son has done since taking that position. He has been targeting Rong Ling everywhere. He couldn’t find any way to torment him anymore, and now that Rong Ling doesn't have anything left for him to mess with, he finally calmed down. But now, as soon as he sees Rong Ling thriving, he starts all over again!
As a father, there's no one who doesn't want their son to soar high and become a dragon among men. Rong Ling becoming the president of Shuangmu Group made him feel good because when he told others, it meant that someone from the Rong family had achieved great success, the son of Rong Fei Wu, something that brought him immense pride. And now, he no longer needed to rack his brains thinking about how to help Rong Ling or how to face his little pig.
The youngest son is the president of Shuangmu, and the eldest son is the president of Yadon Group. They are each successful in their own right and don't interfere with each other. How good! Now the eldest son is stirring up trouble again, accusing Rong Ling of lining his pockets and abusing his power. He wants to report him to the police and have a case filed against him. Is he trying to make the Rong family look like a joke to outsiders! Does he really want to cause chaos in this family
"Rong Qi'ken!" He called out his full name, making it clear. "I order you to cancel the police report and quiet down. Be a good chairman of Asia Pacific Corporation and make money for us."
“I’ve already called the police!” Rong Qikeng snorted coldly, his voice filled with icy rage. “And someone from the police station is on their way here. They said they’ll handle this very seriously. Dad, this is a big deal for our Rong family, so all personal feelings need to be put aside!”
"You don't have any personal feelings!" Rong Feiwu shouted angrily. "Of all people, you are the most selfish! You must see Rong Ling fall into the ditch and rot before you can be happy, right!"
Rong Qi raised his eyebrows, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, completely tearing away any pretense of civility.
"Yes, I want him to never be able to get up for the rest of his life. He was a cockroach to begin with, and he should go back to where he came from!"
"You---"
Feng Fei's heart trembled with alarm. For Rong Qikeng to harbor such blatant hatred for Rong Ling, and that bone-deep contempt!
Cockroaches!
He actually compared himself to him like that!
This made Rong Feiwu's heart feel uncomfortable!
That's the son of his Rong Fei Wu, and has nothing to do with stink bugs!
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!" Rong Qikeng impatiently wanted to end the conversation with his father.
Rong Feiwu hurriedly shouted, "I'll have those policemen leave. That's it for this!"
"You don't have the capability!" Rong Qikeng sneered coldly.
Rong Feiwu's authority was immediately challenged, and what's more, it came from his usually respectful eldest son. This made him feel unbearable.
"Pang Qiang, pay attention to your attitude when you speak. I'm your father!"
Ron picked up his lips, but said nothing.
"I'll have the police leave!" Rong Fei asserted, his voice heavy with force. "You stay put at the company, I'll be there soon."
"Dad, you're useless even if you came!" The lazy tone was another act of defiance against her elders.
"Damn it!" Rong Fei roared, but just as he uttered those two words, the phone was hung up!
It's Rong Qikeng, he chose to hang up the phone!
As for this dad, he's showing with his actions that he can definitely tune out to a certain extent!
Rong Fei was stunned!
He got the hint!
His eyes narrowed, a few deep wrinkles appearing at the corners. Rong Fei Wu let out a cold "hum," and despite his age, a hint of coldness flashed across his face that still bore the sharpness of his youth.
Tell the driver to start preparing the car, he's going to the company!
My son has grown his wings and is ready to fly on his own!
But he would let his eldest son know that he, Rong Fei Wu, was not old yet. As long as he was around, he couldn't be so disrespectful!n to raise prices. 0.5% isn't a small amount.
