Pengzhan's Dilemma
Huiru, on the other hand, was a very selfish woman. As far as she was concerned, letting a little-known doctor like Lin Yi treat her illness was already giving him a lot of face. If he were to really be cured, wouldn't there be countless rich people coming to him for treatment once he was promoted to the upper class? How much money would he have then?
Asking for a hundred million right now was practically extortion! Since when had House Liu ever been taken advantage of like this? Even if he was a miracle doctor, a few million would be the most he'd get! Hmph, fine then. Since you dare ask for it, you'd have to be able to keep it first!
Of course, Tianyi would've exploded if he'd known how selfish and short-sighted his wife was. A hundred million wasn't a small amount, but it was worth it to gain the friendship of a miracle doctor just like that- it was worth it!
Wouldn't there be a day when you'd get old and sick? Would you still be begging Lin Yi then? What a wastrel with water in her head.
But evidently, Liu Tianyi didn't know that yet, and it was too late for him to stop Chentian from going against Lin Yi.
Pengzhan was very pissed today- Gubang was calling for a board meeting to elect a new chairman!
Pengzhan's heart turned cold at the thought of Gubang and Guangbo's relationship yesterday! It was the first time he'd felt so powerless. He couldn't control the situation anymore!
Pengzhan was still full of confidence before the board meeting yesterday, confident that he'd be able to get rid of the parasite in the company, slowly weakening Gubang's power and eventually kicking him out of the company.
But now, things weren't what he'd expected! The second and third largest shareholders of the company had formed an alliance, and their shares had already exceeded his. He wouldn't be able to handle them if they were to make things difficult for him in the board meeting.
Since when had the company become like this?
The company his father founded was in his hands, and he was going to hand it over to someone else?
Pengzhan hadn't told his father about the company all this time- he didn't want the company to disturb him now that his father had retired.
Besides, the company wasn't a big deal to Pengzhan. As long as he held onto the shares, he was confident that he'd be able to deal with some of the shareholders who were a little greedy and selfish.
But Pengzhan hadn't expected the shareholders to unite.
He was at his wits' end. Gubang had already gone to contact the other board members with Guangbo, and there was no chance of reconciliation at all. Perhaps he wouldn't be the chairman of the company anymore in a few days.
Left with no other choice, Pengzhan dialed up his father's number. He didn't want to disturb his father, but he had no choice but to tell Elder Chu about the company's situation at this critical juncture.
Elder Chu listened to Pengzhan's words quietly, not interrupting him. He waited for him to finish, remaining silent for a while.
"Dad, look … …" Pengzhan felt exhausted. A third of the board had been roped in by Gubang, and even he, the chairman, couldn't stop this! Since Gubang was calling for this meeting, it meant that he had the confidence to replace him as the chairman!
"Actually, I have long seen the problem with the company's board of directors." Elder Chu's voice was calm. "Pengzhan, you're too kind and kindhearted. That's a good point, but you have to understand that the business world is like a battlefield- being kind to your enemy is being cruel to yourself. Everyone has greed and selfishness, and it's only natural that the board of directors would ally together to usurp power. "
"Then you mean … …" Pengzhan paused. His father didn't seem to want to get involved in this anymore.
"Go find Lin Yi." Elder Chu sighed softly. "Perhaps he's the only one who can help you in this situation … …"
"Him?" Pengzhan was surprised. "Dad, you're asking him to come, don't you mean for him and Yao Yao … …"
"Haha, he might have a way." Elder Chu didn't say it out loud, only smiling.
"I understand, dad." Pengzhan hung up the phone. He didn't know why his father wanted him to go find Lin Yi, but he couldn't understand what Lin Yi could do in a situation like this.
Lin Yi wasn't a shareholder of the company, and he didn't have any shares in his hands. Lin Yi wouldn't be able to interfere with the company's board of directors meeting, but since Elder Chu had asked him to look for Lin Yi, Pengzhan could only give it a try.
Pengzhan really didn't expect that a business tycoon like him would fall into the trap of his father's old friend's son. Had he really been too kind? Perhaps his father was right- if he'd acted decisively when he'd first discovered the problem, perhaps this wouldn't have happened today!
Some of the shareholders would've criticized him for not caring about his father's feelings, but it was still better than being at his wit's end!
After some hesitation, Pengzhan turned to Li Fu. "Go to Yao Yao's villa."
"Yes, Mister Chu." Faubert sighed. "Mister Chu, don't be too hasty. If Elder Chu said that Lin Yi has a way, then he should have a way."
"I hope so." Pengzhan nodded.
Lin Yi parked the car in front of Mengyao's villa, and saw a Bentley turn in behind him. It was Faubert's car.
Lin Yi got out of the car, but didn't enter the villa. He waited for Faubert's car to park, and Pengzhan got out of the car. "Yi?"
Pengzhan didn't expect Lin Yi to just come back. He looked at the van Lin Yi drove, surprised. "Your car?"
"Oh, I helped Lingshan catch a fugitive, that Heibao," Lin Yi didn't hide the truth. "It's Heibao's, I got the license plate from Lingshan this afternoon."
Pengzhan nodded- he didn't expect Lin Yi to have built up his own network in Songshan without anyone noticing. The fact that he was able to get the car from Lingshan meant that the two had a close relationship.
"Yi, Uncle Chu has something to discuss with you!" Pengzhan said with a pat on Lin Yi's shoulder. He didn't want to waste time on the car.
"Oh? Alright, let's talk inside? "Lin Yi said as he locked the door.
Pengzhan hesitated. "Why don't you get in my car?"
Lin Yi paused, but understood immediately. He nodded. "Okay."
