"Oh? Nothing?"
Zheng Zhongtian was momentarily stunned.
He had treated them like brothers, sending gifts during holidays, and they had even suggested he establish his own real estate company for them to collaborate on, rather than working for Zheng Wenchang.
But Zheng Zhongtian had always refused, saying he wouldn't forget who helped him.
However, today, Zheng Zhongtian had made it clear he was resigning.
Yet, the people he approached seemed completely unfazed, simply saying, "Oh, nothing!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Thinking they hadn't heard clearly, Zheng Zhongtian hurried after them.
Before Zheng Zhongtian could speak,
The leading Director Wu saw Chen Mo and his group and asked obsequiously, "Excuse me, which one of you is Chairman Chen Mo?"
The words that were on the tip of Zheng Zhongtian's tongue were swallowed, and he stared at Director Wu and the others, dumbfounded.
Yu Honglong quickly stepped forward.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Clearing his throat, he wouldn't miss an opportunity to help Chen Mo look good. He introduced, "This is the Chairman of Hengchang Real Estate! Chen Mo."
Director Wu and the others' gazes fell upon Chen Mo.
Seeing how young Chen Mo was, they were also taken aback.
They quickly began to flatter him, saying, "We didn't expect Chairman Chen to be so young. Truly young and promising."
"Yes, yes, it's like they say, one mountain is higher than another. You've completely outshone us."
Yu Honglong frowned slightly. He hadn't expected these people to be so adept at flattery, no less than himself.
This was a direct threat to his status. Yu Honglong's expression instantly darkened. "What are you flattering him for? Do you think the Chairman falls for that? Who exactly are you, and why are you here to see the Chairman?"
Director Wu and the others, reprimanded by Yu Honglong, dared not retort. They obsequiously said, "Chairman Chen, it's like this: we've decided to increase our cooperation with Hengchang Real Estate. Our projects will be handed over to Hengchang Real Estate immediately. We've brought the contracts and are ready to sign."
Boom!
Everyone was struck by lightning, staring at Director Wu and the others with wide eyes.
Especially Zheng Zhongtian and the other two, their faces were uglier than if they had eaten ten pounds of rat droppings.
Zheng Zhongtian couldn't help but ask, "Director Wu, you said before that the projects would only be given to us. How, how could they be given to others?"
Director Wu glanced at Zheng Zhongtian. "Mr. Zheng, you've been fired. Besides, does it matter to you who we cooperate with?"
"Yes, don't make it sound like we're close. Our relationship is merely ordinary business interaction."
"Director Zhang is right. Our relationship is limited to work. Don't let Chairman Chen misunderstand our relationship."
Boom!
Zheng Zhongtian suffered another heavy blow. He clutched his chest, looking incredulous, feeling as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, ready to spurt out at any moment.
Director Wu looked at Chen Mo again. "Chairman Chen, we don't know him."
The others chimed in, "Yes, yes, we don't know him."
"Pfft!"
Finally, Zheng Zhongtian spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng!" The other two quickly helped Zheng Zhongtian.
However, none of the people who had treated Zheng Zhongtian like a brother stepped forward to help!
Zheng Zhongtian's heart felt utterly cold. At this moment, he truly understood what it meant to experience the fickleness of human relationships.
Chen Mo looked at Zheng Zhongtian and said, "Mr. Zheng, take care of your health. Otherwise, I fear you won't live to see the day I need to beg you."
"We, we're leaving!"
Zheng Zhongtian's chest heaved violently. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he might just die of anger!
Zheng Zhongtian and the other two, who had just boasted that the company couldn't do without them, were now completely devoid of their earlier bravado.
With their heads bowed and looking dejected, they left Hengchang Real Estate.
Seeing Zheng Zhongtian and the other two leave, Chen Mo looked at Director Wu and the others, frowning slightly. "I don't recall knowing you before, do I?"
Director Wu quickly nodded. "How could we have been worthy of knowing you before? To be frank, the largest shareholder of our company is Boss Qin. We just received a notification from Boss Qin saying we should fully cooperate with your company's work."
Chen Mo suddenly understood. It turned out his eldest sister was helping.
However, Chen Mo was also curious how his eldest sister knew about him taking over Zheng Wenchang's company shares.
At this moment, Chen Mo couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Yu Honglong beside him.
Yu Honglong didn't notice Chen Mo's gaze.
He was still glaring at Director Wu with dissatisfaction. "Director Wu, are you implying that Chairman Chen is now less capable than before? Or that you will soon be more capable than the Chairman? You weren't worthy before, but now you are?"
Director Wu was greatly alarmed and quickly waved his hands. "No, we absolutely didn't mean that. We feel that Chairman Chen is on a higher plane, and we are not worthy of reaching him."
"So you're saying our Chairman has fallen from grace?" Yu Honglong retorted.
Director Wu and the others broke out in a cold sweat and quickly waved their hands. "No, no, no, we really didn't mean that."
"Alright," Chen Mo waved his hand.
"I don't handle work matters. From now on, you will liaise with Director Yu." Chen Mo pointed to Yu Honglong beside him.
Director Wu and the others quickly nodded.
Just now, they were wondering who this young kid was. It turned out he was someone close to Chen Mo.
Director Wu quickly said obsequiously, "From now on, we will absolutely follow Director Yu's arrangements. If Director Yu tells us to go east, we will never go west!"
Yu Honglong snorted disdainfully. "Hmph, from now on, flattery is forbidden in our company. Keep your petty thoughts to yourselves."
To him, he was the originator of flattery; such childish antics had no effect on him.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Director Wu and the others nodded repeatedly.
"Director Yu, you come with me. You guys can get back to work," Chen Mo said, looking at Yu Honglong.
Instantly, Yu Honglong's face lit up with obsequiousness as he followed Chen Mo. "Chairman, please give your orders. Whether it's climbing a mountain of knives or descending into a sea of fire, I, Yu Honglong, will not bat an eye!"
The scene was met with stunned silence!
Everyone's jaws nearly hit the floor!
Director Wu and the others' eyelids twitched.
They had just told them not to flatter, and now Yu Honglong was openly flattering Chen Mo.
Chen Mo and Yu Honglong took the elevator together to the first-floor lobby. As they walked out, Chen Mo said, "From now on, the company will be managed by you. Don't disappoint me."
Yu Honglong quickly patted his chest and guaranteed, "Brother Chen, rest assured, Hengchang will exist as long as I do, and if Hengchang perishes, I will not live!"
Chen Mo smiled and patted Yu Honglong's shoulder, then asked, "From now on, don't tell my eldest sister about my affairs."
"Ah?!" Yu Honglong, who had been beaming with excitement, instantly became nervous.
