Liu Fang stood still, his expression indicating he was determined to fight to the end. Ge Jun couldn't help but want to laugh. This was clearly a case of a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
However, this was not enough for Ge Jun. He didn't just want to win. The moment he noticed Liu Fang's arrogant demeanor, an idea sprouted in his heart: he wanted Liu Fang to witness his moment of triumph firsthand. This way, he could maximize his influence here. Imagine, someone who vehemently opposed him, only to find themselves unable to refute his arguments in the end. Wouldn't that be more effective than a thousand supportive votes?
Thus, Ge Jun said, "Liu Fang, we know each other, and it's quite a fate. How about this: listen to me speak today. You can oppose me or abstain afterward; that's your business. I, Ge Jun, guarantee with my integrity that I will not interfere. However, I believe that after hearing my plan, you won't be able to find any reason to object."
"Integrity? Do you even have integrity?" Liu Fang cut straight to the chase, still intending to leave. At this point, he had nothing to fear. Ge Jun could remain unfazed, but his assistant could not stand it.
"What are you saying, kid? Watch yourself. Don't forget where you are. This isn't a place for you to run wild. If you continue like this, I'll send you to the police station!" The man raised a hand, pointing an angry finger at Liu Fang's nose.
"What's so great about the police station!" Liu Fang's voice was cold.
"The police station isn't that great, but I, Ge Jun, want to keep you here today!" As Ge Jun spoke, footsteps echoed from behind Liu Fang, from the direction of the door. Turning to look, five or six security guards had formed a human wall outside the door, blocking Liu Fang's exit.
"Ge Jun, you!" Liu Fang's eyes widened. He wasn't a fighter. Two fists were no match for four hands. Seeing that his pursuit of Zhang Yun was in vain, his heart raged, but he was helpless. Liu Fang could only shift his attention back to the people in front of him.
He hadn't wanted to speak. But now, Liu Fang had to. This was his last resort! Liu Fang spoke with all his might, almost kneeling before them.
"Everyone, open your eyes and wake up! This Ge Jun is a cancer to Taindong Group. With him here, Taindong Group will be in trouble. Everyone, please believe me!" He said this with all his heart, desperately hoping these people would listen.
But in the board of directors, a place that was fundamentally a battlefield of interests, Liu Fang's voice was like a single firefly in the dark night sky, pale and powerless.
"I say, this person is just sour grapes," someone who had initially sided with Liu Fang shouted when the situation turned unfavorable.
"This Liu Fang, he tried to win me over before, promising me benefits if things went well. I think this kid has had ill intentions from the start!" Before this person finished speaking, another voice immediately chimed in.
"Yes, Mr. Ge hasn't been at Taindong Group for a day or two, and Taindong Group hasn't fallen apart!" Liu Fang hadn't expected such a result. These people had certainly taught him a lesson.
However, at this juncture, having reached this point, Liu Fang still clung to a sliver of hope. Or rather, he had no choice but to do so.
"You people don't understand any of this. He, Ge Jun, once he gains core control of Taindong Group, will sell it out. Taindong Group has always been closely tied to the Lin family, but this man intends to deal with the Lin family. Do you know that?"
However, at this moment, even after Liu Fang revealed his trump card, the audience met him with only silent gazes. Ge Jun knew very well that the person in front of him was not talking nonsense. If this had been before, being exposed by this kid's words, he would have trembled uncontrollably in his heart.
But at this moment, Ge Jun was completely at ease. All of this was within his grasp. Liu Fang was now like a wall that everyone was pushing against. Did truth or falsehood matter? The situation was already decided.
These people had families to support. Their initial support for Liu Fang was merely opportunistic. Outwardly, they wanted to advance and retreat with Taindong Group, vowing not to let an outsider like Ge Jun, who had barged in midway, ruin the entire group for personal gain. But in their hearts, their thoughts were not only real but also extremely practical.
If these people had helped Liu Fang overthrow Ge Jun, then in the revitalized Taindong Group, they would not just be in their current positions; they would be considered heroes. But now, everyone knew the trajectory of Liu Fang's fortunes. Continuing to follow him would likely result in only one outcome: leaving with nothing, swept out the door. How could these people be willing to accept that?
Seeing that someone had started, those following behind quickly declared their positions and expressed their loyalty.
"Liu Fang, how can you be so sure Mr. Ge will do that? I think you're just smearing Mr. Ge."
"You! You all!" Liu Fang's lungs felt like they were about to explode. But now, in front of these turncoats, his temper was of no use.
"Good, very good!" The helplessness and indignation that had accumulated in his heart turned into bitter laughter.
"Just you wait, you'll regret this one day!" Liu Fang's words were etched in his heart, but no one heard them.
"Ge Jun, let me go!" Liu Fang shouted, turning his head.
However, Ge Jun had already stationed people outside, and he had no intention of letting Liu Fang leave. At this moment, Ge Jun slowly stood up.
"Leave? Why? It hasn't even started yet!" Before Liu Fang could answer, he continued, "What? Lost your nerve? If you're not even willing to listen to this, why would anyone believe what you say? Since you intend to fight me, please give me some respect; at least see it through to the end!"
As Ge Jun spoke, he parted the crowd and walked directly to Liu Fang. Then, he lowered his voice so only Liu Fang could hear.
"Liu Fang, to tell you the truth, there are people outside. You probably won't be able to leave before the meeting ends. Besides, I know where your wife is. You don't want her to get into trouble, do you?"
These words were like a powerful beam of light, clearing away the dense fog in Liu Fang's mind. Earlier, he had found Zhang Yun's behavior strange. Now, he understood.
"So, I see, Chairman Zhang he..." Before Liu Fang could finish, Ge Jun chuckled, "That's right, just like you."
"You, you're shameless!" Upon learning this, Liu Fang nearly exploded on the spot. But this reaction made Ge Jun feel exceptionally pleased. With a faint cold laugh, Ge Jun said, "Liu Fang, we've known each other for a while. I hope you can witness my, Ge Jun's, dominance over Taindong Group. For you, it's also a way to settle a matter in your heart, isn't it?"
