At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

Although his relationship with his father had been very bad over the years, when Cheng Shengen fell down, Cheng Feng was completely stunned. Only then did he realize how important his father was to him.

Seeing his father lying in the intensive care unit and still not waking up, Cheng Feng felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would never have argued with him that night.

It's too late to say anything now.

Cheng Feng was surprised to see Qin Fan and Lin Xia coming together. If his memory was not confused, the relationship between the two should be very bad. Why would he be so kind as to come and visit his father?

Lin Xia took the initiative to ask, "Crazy, is your dad okay?"

"The doctor said he's out of danger, but he's still in a coma. I don't know when he'll wake up."

Cheng Shengen, chairman of Dade Group, was hospitalized due to a sudden heart attack. After emergency treatment, he has been in a coma and is suspected of becoming a vegetative state.

Qin Fan silently kept this in mind and prepared to find some media to hype it up.

Since he has decided to take this opportunity to acquire Dade Group, Qin Fan will not miss any opportunity to suppress the stock price.

As the mainstay of Dade Group, the impact of Cheng Shengen's fall has been reflected in the past few days. The most direct manifestation is the stock, which has now seen three consecutive declines and the stock price has been falling.

Since the specific news is unclear, institutions and investors are still waiting and watching, so the decline is not large.

Qin Fan is prepared to give a push from behind to make Dade’s market value shrink faster.

"I see... Your eye bags are so swollen, haven't you had a good rest these past few days? Why don't you go back and get some sleep? I'll keep an eye on your dad for you."

Lin Xia advised.

Cheng Feng felt a warm feeling in his heart and forced a smile, shaking his head, "It's okay, I can hold on."

"Hey, why are you trying so hard? Your dad is lying in bed. If you get sick from exhaustion, who will take care of you?"

Qin Fan nodded. "Cheng Feng, you not only have to take care of your father now, but you also have to take care of the overall interests of the company. Your father suddenly fell ill, and it's inevitable that some evildoers will jump out to cause trouble in the company. It's not easy for you to deal with them in your current state."

Cheng Feng glanced at Qin Fan in surprise. This guy was so kind. It seemed like there was some conspiracy behind it.

"I've asked Xiao Meng to keep an eye on it for me, so nothing should go wrong."

"If nothing goes wrong in the company, there's no guarantee that something won't happen outside."

"What could happen outside?" Cheng Feng was confused.

"You're the acting chairman now. Those disgruntled people don't dare to take action against your father, but to you... hehe."

Cheng Feng understood what Qin Fan meant and curled his lips in disdain.

"They're just a bunch of clowns. They're having fun now, but when my dad wakes up, I'll take care of them all."

Cheng Feng was not worried at all about what would happen to the company. After all, Dade was founded by his father from scratch.

We have experienced countless storms over the years and have survived them all. This time is no exception.

Qin Fan shook his head. "I think you're a little too optimistic. If someone were to use your past as a placeholder, full of no education, only knowing how to drink, hang out, and play with women, to question your ability to control Dade Group and lead its continued development, how would you respond?"

In fact, this was the main point that Qin Fan was going to hype. On the one hand, he was hyping that Cheng Shengen might not wake up, and on the other hand, he was hyping that Cheng Feng was completely incapable of taking over his father's position.

Even without any exaggeration and just stating the facts and reasoning, Dade's stock price would plummet.

Cheng Feng remained silent. Qin Fan was right. If those shareholders brought up his past dark history, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

Lin Xia tugged at Qin Fan's sleeve.

"Qin Fan, you seem to be a shareholder of Dade, right? Can you help the madman? After all, Dade is Uncle Cheng's hard work, and it can't be snatched away by those with ulterior motives."

Qin Fan knew very well that Lin Xia was the type of person who couldn't stand seeing her friends encounter difficulties. When they encountered difficulties, she was more anxious than the person involved, so he didn't blame her for asking for help on Cheng Feng's behalf.

But he still shook his head and said, "I can't help you with this. You saw what Cheng Feng was like before. He is telling the truth. I can't just ignore the facts and say whatever I want."

"Thank you for your reminder. I will find a way to stabilize the board of directors. I will not let Dade cause chaos until my father wakes up."

Cheng Feng composed himself and forced a smile.

Haha, that’s not up to you!

Not long after, Wu Di and Fei Si also rushed to the hospital.

Since Yang Zixi followed Qin Fan early on and had no intention of reconciling with Wu Di, Wu Di gradually came out of the shadow of a broken heart and began to accept his boss Wu Mei.

Without Yang Zixi's interference, their relationship developed very stably. If we have to say who is the victim, it is probably Wu Di's brother Wu Wei.

The most important woman in his life was snatched away by another man, and this rival was his younger brother. Wu Wei didn't know how to take revenge. He was really miserable.

Wu Di also has his reasons. Wu Mei and Wu Wei have broken up for several years. Why can't he be with her?

But he seemed to have forgotten that a few days after Wu Mei returned to China, Wu Wei, who had never introduced his female friends to his brother, invited the two of them to dinner for the first time and said frankly at the dinner table that Wu Di and Wu Mei were the two most important people in his life.

Isn't that obvious enough?

Wu Wei's face almost showed that he still had feelings for Wu Mei. Wu Di said, "I didn't see it. Anyway, they broke up a long time ago. I am single and Wu Mei is also single. Being together doesn't bother anyone."

What is this called?

A combination of a young man with no sense of justice, an ungrateful person, and a moral emperor.

One is stealing his brother's woman, the other is stealing his brother's beloved. Cheng Feng and Wu Di are a perfect match. No wonder he would mindlessly stand on Cheng Feng's side and exclude Shi Xiaomeng together.

At the end, Wu Mei fled to the United States, which put an end to this abnormal love affair.

Wu Mei never loved Wu Di. She just saw the shadow of Wu Wei's youth in Wu Di. To put it bluntly, she still loved the Wu Wei in her memory.

It was not until Wu Wei's death that Wu Mei realized this, but it was too late.

Qin Fan and Wu Di were fed up with each other and didn't even bother to say hello. They took Lin Xia and left the hospital.

Qin Fan pushed forward the plan quickly and immediately ordered his subordinates to contact the media to hype up Cheng Shengen's illness, suppress the stock price, and prepare for the subsequent acquisition.

The subordinates' actions were very effective. That afternoon, some online media outlets released the news that the chairman of Dade Group had fallen ill.

In the following days, the news became more and more popular.

From the beginning, Cheng Shengen might become a vegetable, to later hyping up Cheng Feng’s dark history and questioning his ability.

Some small media outlets, eager to see the world in chaos, were even more exaggerated in their descriptions, saying that the Dade Group was at the end of its rope and was about to slide into the abyss.

Naturally, Dade's stock price was pushed to the lower limit the next day and remained so for several days. Its market value shrank significantly and soon fell below 8 billion, a drop of one-third from its peak.

Cheng Feng became famous overnight. He was just a second-generation rich man before and had a little fame in the circle.

Now, with the help of media hype, it has quickly entered the public eye.

If Cheng Feng had a choice, he would rather not be famous in his life.

Especially since he entered the public eye with the image of a playboy who drinks and plays with women, I wonder what Shen Bing would think.

Now he no longer cares about Shen Bing's thoughts. The first thing he has to deal with is the accountability of the shareholders.

At the board meeting, Vice President Hong Demin was the first to speak out.

"Cheng Feng, can you explain to us why Mr. Cheng became ill?"

"He...has always had a weak heart and high blood pressure, so he's prone to flare-ups when exposed to strong stimulation."

Cheng Feng said hesitantly.

"Then what kind of strong stimulus did he receive?"

Cheng Feng couldn't answer, and asked angrily, "Uncle Hong, why do I feel like you are interrogating a criminal?"

"Officially, I'm the company's vice president and the second-largest shareholder. Privately, I've been your father's friend for many years. Regardless of public or private considerations, I have the right to know about Mr. Cheng's condition."

"The chief physician has already explained Mr. Cheng's condition in detail."

Hong Demin laughed, "Cheng Feng, actually you know what I want to ask you..."

Liang Junzheng interrupted Hong Demin and said, "Old Hong, this is the first board meeting since Cheng Feng took over as acting chairman. We have some personal matters to discuss. I think we should talk about it at another time."

"This isn't a personal matter. Mr. Cheng's health is directly related to our company's future. I'm sure everyone has seen the news these days. Major media outlets are questioning Cheng Feng's ability, and Dade's stock price has been affected, hitting the lower limit for consecutive days. This is a matter of life and death. If we don't clarify the issue, how can we find a solution?"

"Those media outlets are always eager to see chaos. They exaggerate and fabricate stories at the slightest sign of trouble. Cheng Feng has certainly been youthful and reckless in recent years, but no one is perfect. He's only just taken on the role of acting chairman, so the stock's limit-down cannot be blamed on him."

Liang Junzheng continued to defend Cheng Feng, "I think it's because some people saw that Mr. Cheng was ill and thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they suppressed Cheng Feng in secret."

"If he has good character, others won't be able to suppress him even if they want to."

Cheng Feng almost hated Hong Demin to death. It was the first time in his life that he was scolded in front of so many people. His face looked extremely ugly.

"It was indeed my fault that Mr. Cheng got angry. I shouldn't have argued with him that day."

"What's the reason?"

"Because of some personal matters."

Liang Junzheng tried to smooth things over again, "Since Cheng Feng said it's a private matter, Lao Hong, please stop being so aggressive."

Cheng Feng was very grateful. If it weren't for Uncle Liang, he would have had a hard time getting through this hurdle today.

Hong Demin glanced at Liang Junzheng and suddenly took out a document.

"This is our company's performance report for this quarter. On the surface, our performance has increased, but I don't know if you noticed that our performance growth rate is 3.1%, while the proportion of various expenditures and operating expenses is 10.8%, which is clearly negative growth."

"Cheng Feng, the department you're in charge of has the most serious overspending. I don't need to go into detail about what you've used the company's funds for, right?"

Cheng Feng's face twitched. Of course he knew what the budget overspending was.

It costs money to pick up girls. Apart from the shares he holds, he doesn't have much cash on hand. In addition, he has a bad relationship with his father, so he doesn't feel comfortable asking Cheng Shengen for pocket money, so he can only think of some ways to use the department funds.

Especially in recent months, in order to please Shen Bing, he spent several million at the restaurant where Shen Bing worked, all of which were paid out of the company's account, and Hong Demin happened to catch him.

"I will pay attention to saving expenses and controlling costs in the future."

When the truth was revealed, Cheng Feng had no way to deny it and had to admit his mistake.

Hong Demin asked back, "Can you do it? To be frank, you're just a dandy kid who only knows how to squander money and live off his parents!"

Cheng Feng was furious. The old guy was deliberately making things difficult for me.

It’s just a small matter of budget overspending. I’ve already admitted my mistake. What else do you want?

.......

481: Internal strife intensifies! Shi Xiaomeng's girlfriend is stolen by Qin Fan, and he still works for him!

"Old Hong, I know you're doing this for the good of the company, but don't be so unreasonable. After all, Cheng Feng's current status is different. He's the acting chairman and deserves everyone's respect."

Liang Junzheng's words seemed to be supporting Cheng Feng, but in fact he meant to use his status to pressure Hong Demin. With Hong Demin's upright character, how could he possibly back down?

"Without this kind of character and ability, how can you be respected?"

Hong Demin stood up and said in a resounding voice, "Given the company's current predicament, I believe Cheng Feng is unsuitable to serve as acting chairman."

There was a deathly silence in the conference room, and everyone present held their breath.

I thought this meeting was just to hold Cheng Feng accountable and discuss how to solve the company's current difficulties. I didn't expect Hong Demin to directly attack in the meeting.

Liang Junzheng felt relieved immediately.

Cheng Feng's eyes turned red with anger. "Uncle Hong, my father has only been ill for a few days and is still in the hospital. Are you so anxious to get rid of his son?"

The acting chairman Cheng Feng actually didn't care, but he couldn't accept being kicked out in such a humiliating way.

Hearing this, many people nodded in agreement. No matter what kind of person Cheng Feng was or how capable he was, it was too disheartening that Cheng Shengen suppressed his son just a few days after falling ill.

Hong Demin remained unmoved and looked righteous.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting anyone. When Mr. Cheng wakes up, I'll go to the hospital and explain to him in person."

Cheng Feng sneered, "Don't make yourself sound so noble. If you drive me away, you can take over, isn't that right?"

Hong Demin's face was full of seriousness. "Cheng Feng, I know you're very resentful of me, but I've already said that I have no intention of targeting you personally. The company is facing a huge dilemma both internally and externally. Do you think you have the ability to lead everyone out of this predicament?"

Cheng Feng was stunned by the question. Logically speaking, he really didn't know how to be the acting chairman, let alone come up with a way to turn the situation around.

Seeing Cheng Feng remained silent, Hong Demin glanced around and said loudly, "Let's raise our hands and vote on whether to remove Cheng Feng from the position of acting chairman."

"no need!"

Cheng Feng stared at Hong Demin intently. "I've never cared about taking over my father's job, nor do I care who takes the position of acting chairman. You have no right to remove me because I wasn't appointed by you. I'm leaving on my own!"

After saying that, Cheng Feng pulled out his chair and quickly left the meeting room.

Liang Jun was looking at Cheng Feng's back with a flickering look in his eyes.

He thought that this kid was quite quick-witted. He saw that Hong Demin was determined to remove him, so he saved a little dignity for himself.

If the shareholders were allowed to vote by raising their hands, Cheng Feng would most likely still be dismissed, which would not only humiliate Cheng Feng but also undermine Cheng Shengen's prestige.

Cheng Feng fired himself. Although he was forced to do so, it also indirectly proved Hong Demin's aggressiveness.
