Splendid in bag

The board meeting has begun, and several resolutions proposed at the meeting according to the original plan are quite important.

The first item is the resolution on whether to remove Hughes from all positions in the group.

Listening to the decision being made, everyone had a sneer on their faces.They all looked at Hughes in unison, wanting to see the embarrassment of this once mighty man.However, Hughes didn't do what they wanted, he looked very calm.But Lao Liu thought he was just pretending to be calm.

"Hughes," Lao Liu said with a sarcastic smile, "do you have any comments on this resolution? Is there anything you want to say?"

Hughes also responded with a sarcastic smile: "You have more votes. My opinion is not important, so I won't publish it."

When Lao Liu heard the phrase "my opinion is not important", he was quite satisfied: "Oh? Then you just admit defeat?"

Hughes was noncommittal, but still smiled.

Uncle Qi opened his mouth and said to Lewis, "Lewis, what do you think? Do you also support the dismissal of Lao Xiu?"

Seventh Uncle had been at odds with Hughes for a long time now, but he still called him "Old Xiu" all the time, and his tone was as affectionate as before.

"Of course." Lewis nodded, and gave Lao Liu a stable smile.

Uncle Seven said, "Aren't you and Lao Xiu buddies?"

Lewis said with a smile: "I will only make decisions based on the interests of the company."

Listening to what Lewis said, Lao Liu smiled comfortingly and said, "Since everyone has no opinion, let's vote!"

In this way, everyone except Hughes raised their hands in agreement.The more wins the less, the board of directors passed a resolution to remove Hughes.

Seeing such a final decision, Old Liu breathed a sigh of relief.Until just now, Old Liu was quite worried, always thinking that Hughes would play some tricks.He was also afraid that Lewis was actually targeting Hughes, as Uncle Qi said.But it now appears that what he feared did not happen.

"Okay!" Old Liu's voice sounded louder, "Hughes, you are no longer a member of the group, and you are not qualified to participate in this meeting. You pack up your things and leave now!"

Hughes smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, I still want to see with my own eyes who will succeed me as the chairman of the board."

While saying this, Hughes glanced at Lewis' face lightly, which made Lewis nervous for a while.

Uncle Seven also laughed, and said, "Then let you see."

Old Liu said, "I think Lewis should be the chairman. After all, he is also the largest shareholder in the group. What do you think?"

Most of the people here are ignorant. Although they don't think highly of Lewis, they all think that Lewis is an embroidered pillow, which is not useful, but it is hard to say anything.After all, Lewis is indeed the largest shareholder now.If this position is not given to Lewis, I don't know who it will be given to.

"If there is no objection..." Old Liu Zhi said complacently, "Then—"

"Wait." Uncle Qi interrupted what Lao Liu was going to say next, and suddenly raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.

Seeing Uncle Qi like this, Lao Liu couldn't help being a little angry, and said with restraint, "Do you have any opinions?"

"Don't get me wrong," Uncle Qi shrugged and said kindly, "I don't have any objections to my nephew."

"No objection, then why are you raising your hand?" Old Liu said coldly, "If you want to raise your hand, it won't be too late to raise your hand when the vote is in favor."

Uncle Qi laughed and said, "It might be too late by then..."

Old Liu couldn't bear Uncle Qi's eccentric look, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, and don't keep it to yourself."

"Then I'll just say it straight." Seventh Uncle said slowly, "I don't think Lewis can be the chairman—at least not now."

"What are you talking about!" Old Liu said unhappily, "I think he is more than competent! I am definitely optimistic about him! Everyone here should be the same, right?"

Those present could only nod in agreement.

"This is too absolute." Uncle Qi shook his head and said, "Who can be sure?"

Old Liu snorted coldly and said, "I can be sure! He is the best candidate!"

Seeing Old Liu's stubborn expression, Uncle Qi couldn't help but smile: "I believe you have your own reasons, but it's not in the company's interest to do so..."

"What?" Old Liu was taken aback, "Is it not in anyone's interest for my son to be the chairman?"

Everyone also showed doubts on their faces.Uncle Qi looked around and said loudly, "Isn't it normal that criminal suspects cannot be directors?"

Lewis was questioned only last night. In the meeting room, except for Hughes and Lao Liu, Lewis didn't tell anyone about it.Therefore, when Uncle Qi said this, most people were surprised and puzzled, and asked, "What? What criminal offense? Are you talking about Lewis' criminal offense?"

Uncle Qi nodded and said, "Yes. Lewis is suspected of smuggling ordinary goods, and the procuratorate said that they are ready to prosecute. So, Lewis is now a criminal suspect and will go to court in two days. This matter must be reported in the newspaper , I can’t hold it down, maybe it will make the headlines. If he becomes the chairman at this juncture, it will have a great impact on our group.”

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, and at the risk of being insulted by the irascible old Liu, they all had to persuade: "If this is true, it is indeed inappropriate..."

Lao Liu also knew what everyone said was right.Lewis will be prosecuted soon, and having him as chairman of the group is indeed detrimental to the interests of the company.But Lao Liu is a selfish person who puts his personal needs above the interests of the company, so he plans to make Lewis the chairman of the board quickly, and we will talk about the rest later.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Seven suddenly revealed the matter.

Originally, Lao Liu was not sure who was responsible for Lewis's suspected smuggling, but now he finally understood, it was this old seven!

After thinking it over, Lao Liu looked at Uncle Qi with raging anger.

Uncle Qi was quite pleased with himself, and asked again, "What's your opinion?"

The directors are generally unwilling to offend Lao Liu, but since the matter is so important, they are naturally unwilling to speak up for Lao Liu. They just persuaded: "That's really inappropriate."

Uncle Qi asked Lewis again: "Lewis, what do you think?"

Lewis was bitten unexpectedly. He was ashamed and indignant, but he still maintained his demeanor and smiled slightly: "The offender is a manager of my company, and it has nothing to do with me. I have been to the customs, but it was just 'assisting in the investigation'. I believe Things will soon come to light. You needn't worry."

Uncle Qi was a little surprised that Lewis could still be so calm at this time, and said with a smile: "Since the truth will come to light soon, it's better to wait. When the truth comes out and the truth comes out, I will be the first to support you as the chairman of the board." !"

Everyone also nodded and said, "That's right, don't be in a hurry. Let's have a look and talk about it."

Uncle Qi looked at Hughes again and said, "Old Xiu, what do you think?"

Hughes smiled and said, "I am no longer a director, and my opinion is not important."

"But you are still the major shareholder." Uncle Qi pointed out, "Of course your opinion is valuable."

"My opinion?" Hughes smiled, "I respect all decisions of the board of directors."

Uncle Wu sneered, "What did you ask him for? He might be very happy to see Lewis being unlucky."

"Why?" Hughes said, "I feel sorry for him."

This remark sounded like a mockery to everyone's ears.Only Lewis knew that it was the truth. This felt like being "confessed in public", which made Lewis's heart beat extremely fast, and his hands unconsciously retracted under the desk, twisting into a ball secretly.

——Is my brother caring about me?

Thinking of this, Lewis felt a little more relieved in his heart.

"Zeus, you don't have to feel sorry for me." Lewis said suddenly, "It's nothing to me."

"Oh?" Hughes nodded happily, "Then I can rest assured."

The two comforted each other, but everyone thought they were just talking to each other!Especially Old Liu, he snorted coldly and said, "Hughes, don't cry like a mouse!"

Uncle Qi said, "Stop rambling, let's get back to the point. Now that everyone has finished expressing their opinions, it's time to vote now, right?"

"Wait," Uncle Wu said, "If Hughes is dismissed and Lewis cannot take office, what will happen to the position of chairman of the group? It can't be empty, right?"

"Then follow the original plan." Seventh Uncle thought of it early in the morning, "Let Big Brother do it. I believe no one will object, right?"

Everyone has no opinion.

After such a lot of tossing, Lewis could not be the chairman, but Lao Liu did.If this had happened a few months ago, when Lao Liu was planning to get Hughes away and regain power, he would have been so happy. Unexpectedly, now that he was thinking about "passing on the throne", the position of chairman had been regained. It fell on his shoulders, and it was a "late surprise" for him.It really made him dumbfounded.

After the meeting, Hughes left the "Proud Eagle" building.

He had foreseen this situation early in the morning, made preparations in advance, and took the things that should be taken away early in the morning.So there is no scene of messing up the office.As soon as the meeting was over, he went straight to the elevator and left in a very cool manner without taking anything or saying anything.

But I don't know if it's to make Hughes lose face, or Lao Liu is really worried. Lao Liu arranged for security guards to keep an eye on Hughes.The security guard accompanied Hughes to the parking lot, and wanted to watch Hughes drive away with his own eyes.When Hughes was about to get in the car, he saw Lewis walking over.

Seeing Lewis, the security guard bowed and said, "Director Liu."

Lewis smiled, nodded to him, and said to Hughes: "Zeus, you're leaving? Is there anything else to say?"

Lewis made it sound like a sarcasm, so the guard didn't think it was a problem.

Hughes replied with a smile: "There is indeed a sentence that I didn't say today."

"Huh?" Lewis looked at Hughes curiously.

The security guard also pricked up his ears.

Hughes pointed to Lewis' head: "A lock of your hair is sticking up."

Lewis blushed, and hurriedly stroked the top of his head: "This..."

The security guard was afraid of Lewis' embarrassment, so he quickly said: "Chairman Liu is so handsome, let alone a bunch of hair curled up, even if the whole hair is flying up, he looks so good!"

Hughes sneered: "I think so too."

Lewis was a little embarrassed, turned around and left.When the security guard went back, he said that Hughes would not lose if he lost, and even taunted Lewis at the end.

After Hughes resigned, he was rarely idle.He also forgot how many years he hadn't had a vacation.He said he was the boss, but he had worked longer than any of the employees. Now that he calmed down, he didn't know what to do.Given the choice, he would have taken a vacation with Lewis, but the situation doesn't allow that, so that's out of the question.

At noon, he drove to a restaurant far away for dinner.He usually doesn't pay much attention to lunch, and mostly eats takeaways in the company, and eats outside, which is also a business lunch.It is rare to be able to choose where you want to go and enjoy yourself leisurely like today.

Hughes unconsciously thought of Lewis again. Today, Lewis is dressed more maturely, with a three-piece suit, black leather shoes, and his hair combed back.It's really cute-especially the way Lewis puts on a straight face and sneers at Hughes.

Hughes chose to eat at this restaurant for no other reason, mainly because Lewis also frequented this restaurant.

Hughes thought, maybe he could meet him.

But when they meet, they can't sit down and have an intimate meal. At best, they just talk to each other cleverly.

Thinking of Lewis's raving mouth, Hughes thought he should kiss him as soon as possible.
