"You don't have to make yourself sound so great. Of course, I have the evidence. However, there is no need for me to take it out now. I believe that everyone here is quite clear about this matter. They have also seen through your character. Therefore, there is no need for us to discuss any further. We can directly give you a verdict!" Wei Jiading snorted coldly and decided to avoid the strong points and attack the weak points. He wanted to take Hong Zhong down to the ground quickly.
As long as more than half of the people here agreed with his suggestion, Hong Zhong's dismissal would be a done deal. Even the chairman of the Hong Consortium wouldn't be able to reverse the situation.
"You have the evidence but don't want to take it out? Do you think that the Hong Consortium is the property of your Wei Family? "Hong Zhong sneered. His simple words made Wei Jiading feel extremely uncomfortable.
Most of the higher-ups of the Hong Consortium were from the Hong Family. Hong Zhong's words were extremely harsh. Even the people behind Wei Jiading would inevitably feel dissatisfied.
Since when did the authority of the Hong Consortium allow an outsider to dictate what to do? Would he really change his surname one day?
Wei Jiading's back instantly broke out in cold sweat. Hong Zhong's obvious provocation might not be effective now, but it would plant a seed of suspicion in the hearts of the higher-ups of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Once Wei Jiading made any mistakes in the future, it would definitely be magnified by several times or even dozens of times.
"Don't try to drive a wedge between us. The Hong Consortium is of course the property of the Hong Family, and it will always be the property of the Hong Family. Although I, Wei Jiading, do not have the surname Hong, I am wholeheartedly for the Hong Consortium. I'm not like a traitor like you! Also, I don't have the final say in your matters. It's the joint decision of everyone here! " Wei Jiading loudly interrupted Hong Zhong, then cupped his fists and bowed. He said to all the higher-ups of the Hong Consortium, "Everyone is clear about Hong Zhong's matter. I suggest that Hong Zhong be removed from all his duties and expelled from the Hong Consortium, never to be hired again. Immediately! What do you all think? "
Wei Jiading felt that allowing Hong Zhong to continue speaking would only make the situation worse. Thus, he did not give him a chance to speak and directly asked the higher-ups of the Hong Consortium to express their views.
To be honest, even Wei Jiading himself felt that it was child's play to dismiss a branch president so simply and crudely. However, more than half of the people here were on his side, and there were also some neutral people who had been bribed by him. Hong Zhong's people only made up a small portion, so Wei Jiading didn't care at all. It didn't matter even if he was pointing a deer at a horse.
In his opinion, once this suggestion was made, it would immediately receive a large amount of support and agreement. The resolution would be passed at lightning speed and Hong Zhong would be completely kicked out of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. This would also become a preview of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's change. As long as they could successfully get rid of Hong Zhong, the next step would be to smoothly support the person behind him to take over!
Unfortunately, the expected situation did not happen. After Wei Jiading finished speaking, he waited for a full minute or two, but no one spoke.
Not to mention the neutral faction, even Wei Jiading's allies had their eyes lowered. They were either focused on drinking tea or seriously studying their fingers. Unexpectedly, no one expressed any intention of supporting him.
"It's too hasty to make a decision on this matter now. If Vice President Wei Jiading really has any evidence against Vice President Hong, then submit it for everyone to see!" The first person to speak was someone from Hong Zhong's faction, Hong Quan, an elder of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. He had originally thought that Wei Jiading was so aggressive in targeting Hong Zhong that he should have already won. Therefore, they had already given up struggling and instead considered how to protect Hong Zhong and find a chance to stage a comeback in the future.
Who knew that this was not the case at all. Not a single person supported Wei Jiading's suggestion. Hong Quan instantly perked up and immediately seized the opportunity to ask Wei Jiading to produce evidence.
Wei Jiading was instantly dumbfounded. If he had evidence, why would he spend so much effort to send gifts? He had asked everyone to express their views so hastily to prevent Hong Zhong's people from coming out to refute. As long as more than half of the people agreed with his suggestion, no matter how good Hong Quan was at arguing, it would be useless.
"Wei Jiading, this matter will be put aside for now. Go and prepare the materials and evidence to impeach Hong Zhong. Hong Zhong is not allowed to leave Middle Island during this period. Let's call it a day! What do you think? "An elder from the neutral faction waved his hand expressionlessly and put forward his own suggestion.
He didn't specifically target Wei Jiading, nor did he particularly help Hong Zhong. He seemed to be very fair, but Wei Jiading almost vomited blood. This bastard didn't say that when he received the gifts! Why did he turn against him in the blink of an eye?
"Very well, let's do that! Wei Jiading, I'll give you three days to prepare. Is that enough? Let's hold another meeting to discuss this matter in three days. Let's call it a day! " This time, it was the elder from Wei Jiading's faction who spoke directly. Normally, he should unconditionally support Wei Jiading, but for some reason, he also spoke like this.
Wei Jiading really wanted to cry but had no tears. He had hastily called an impromptu meeting, but now it had become a farce. Everyone just sat down and said a few words, and then the meeting was called off. Was he in a hurry to be reincarnated? But there was no need to be in such a hurry, right?!
Hong Zhong was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that things would turn around suddenly. Although he didn't understand the reason, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.
Without waiting for Wei Jiading's reaction, everyone stood up and began to leave. No one paid any attention to Wei Jiading, while Hong Quan and the others stared at Wei Jiading with disdain. Then, they pulled Hong Zhong and walked past him with their heads held high.
Wei Jiading secretly gritted his teeth. He had no other way now. He could only figure out what had happened first. Fortunately, this matter was not over yet. Three days later, Hong Zhong still couldn't escape the fate of being deposed.
After a while, Wei Jiading quietly came to the home of his faction's elder and said with a resentful face, "What's the matter with you? Such a good opportunity to attack, but you don't come out to support me. Didn't we agree just now? And those neutral fence-sitters, they actually accepted the gifts but didn't do anything. It's simply outrageous! "
This elder was the one who spoke last just now. He was also a supporter of the second branch of the Hong family. His name was Hong Qin. After hearing Wei Jiading's complaints, he put down the teacup in his hand with a calm face and said, "What's the matter? Don't you know yourself? "
"What do I know? Do I need to find you if I know? " Wei Jiading glared at Hong Qin angrily. They usually had a good relationship, so they didn't have much scruples when talking.
