Chapter 120: To return to the United States
One week later.
At the board meeting of Centurion Group, Director Wang and a group of directors were staring closely at Mia and Nangong who were sitting at the top.
“Director Wang, what is the matter you want to discuss when you convene the board of directors this time?” After faintly sweeping past all the directors present, Nangong asked and spoke lightly, “Or, do all the directors have something to discuss with the president?”
Seeing Nangong Man’s gaze sweeping in, everyone avoided Nangong Man’s gaze and sheepishly lowered their heads, not daring to answer.
With an understanding in her heart, Mia spoke lightly, “Director Wang, since you’ve already brought everyone here, and Vice President Nangong and I are also here, you might as well say what you have, do you intend to let everyone sit dryly all morning?”
This time, the board meeting was not held by Mia and Nangong asked, but by Director Wang, saying that there were important matters to discuss, but all of them had been sitting for nearly ten minutes, and none of the directors had the intention to speak, they just sat quietly.
After the silence was broken by Mia and Nangong asked, Director Wang smiled dryly, cleared his throat, and spoke in a pretentious manner, “President, Vice President, all the directors here, the reason why we are all gathered here today is solely for the sake of our group, to discuss the future and hopes of our group.”
Director Wang opened his mouth with no small gimmick, all the directors looked up, even Mia and Nangong asked, they couldn’t help but stare and start listening to what he would say next.
Seeing everyone’s attention focused on him, Director Wang’s fat face had a smug look on it as he coughed and spoke, “Miss Leng has been the president for some time now, and everyone can see Miss Leng’s efforts. However, over this period of time, because Miss Leng has had too much negative news, it has caused a bad impact on our company, which is also obvious to everyone.”
“Director Wang, what exactly are you going to say?” Hearing this, Nangong asked, unable to sulk any longer, and opened his mouth to cut off Director Wang’s words.
“Vice President Nangong, I don’t know, have you not read today’s newspaper of our Gate City?” In response to Nangong’s rhetorical question, Director Wang looked certain and waved his hand, and immediately a secretary sent today’s latest newspaper to everyone’s hands.
Receiving the newspaper, both Mia and Nangong asked, their hearts couldn’t help but sink, because on the front page of the newspaper was the very news of Mia being Asher’s mistress five years ago, and even, with related pictures!
“Miss Leng, Vice President, everyone here, I wonder what thoughts you have after reading this news?” Noticing the surprised look on everyone’s face, Director Wang’s obese face had a smug look on it, “I’m just curious to know what thoughts everyone has in mind after reading this news.”
After saying that, Director Wang winked at all the directors present, and saw several other directors look at each other, and one of them finally spoke after a long time of hesitation.
“President, we do not mean any disrespect to you, but you also know that our group’s current situation is not optimistic, if others know you before … the situation will certainly not be optimistic … ”
After he broke off, as if encouraged, someone immediately continued, “Yes, this is unlike any previous news, if people knew that the president you used to be Master Jun’s … not only would the other side be unwilling to work with us, but we simply wouldn’t be able to can’t hold up our heads in front of others!”
“Our group’s performance is already bad right now, if we let others know about this, then we won’t be able to do business, don’t you think so President?”
…
Seeing that the directors had almost finished talking, Director Wang only waved his hand to stop their words and turned his fat face to look at Mia and Nangong helplessly and asked, “President, Vice President, I believe that you should all consider what the directors said just now!”
“Director Wang, you’re also an old employee, I’ve always respected you as an elder, if you have anything to say, just say it straight, no need to beat around the bush!” Not having the patience to listen to Director Wang’s nagging, Mia coldly opened her mouth.
“Director Wang, what do you mean by convening this board meeting and having all the directors read this newspaper, is it for everyone to join you in your crusade against the president?” Placing the newspaper in his hand on the table, Nangong asked with a cold and bone chilling voice, carrying a strong questioning tone.
When something like this happens, Director Wang, who is the senior director of the group, instead of immediately doing emergency handling, he gathered all the directors to discuss this matter, the motive itself is suspicious!
Director Wang looked back at several other directors, when he turned his head, his fat face that was always smiling, this time finally had a cold smile, “President, although this Shengshi Group was founded by Master Leng, but it was also created by those of us who followed along with hard work, it’s like our child, we don’t want to see her ruined in your hands, is this still not clear? ”
“Director Wang, so what do you mean?” Anticipating Director Wang’s intentions, Mia didn’t panic as they expected, but instead was very bashful.
For a moment, she even felt an unprecedented relief, perhaps, this seat did not belong to her originally, she became the president of Shengshi Group, just carrying a heavy shackle. Now that this shackle was removed, it was simply a relief for her.
But she couldn’t, she had more responsibilities on her back, she couldn’t just give up that easily!
Director Wang twisted his head to look at several other directors, and then twisted his head to stare closely at Mia, saying word for word, “President, several of us directors have discussed this and feel that if we want to save the Shengshi Group, it’s best to re-elect a capable president! We will report this result to Master Leng, you don’t have to worry!”
“Very well, what about a few of you?” Mia’s cold gaze slowly moved from Director Wang’s face to the faces of several other directors.
When several other directors saw Mia noticing them, they all looked at each other sheepishly, nodded in a parting manner, and darted their heads down again. Although they had long been convinced by Director Wang, they still feared the residual power of Elder Leng and didn’t dare to take a clear stance easily.
The directors’ movements were seen by Nangong asked, he coldly swept a glance at everyone present and said coldly, “It seems that you all have discussed and made a decision long ago, the reason why this board meeting is being held is to inform us, right?”
“Vice President is serious, the results of this board discussion will be broadcast to Master Leng via video conference, I believe that even if Master Leng is old, he won’t be so confused that he doesn’t care if the group lives or dies!” Perhaps feeling that the general situation was already in his hands, Director Wang’s tone of voice, for the first time, hardened.
“Director Wang, so what you’re saying is that I have to agree with your decision?” Tapping her slender fingers on the tabletop, Mia’s voice remained cold without the slightest ripple.
It was as if, whatever Director Wang did, it was expected of her.
Director Wang’s fat face was piled with his usual signature smile again and waved his hand, “President, I don’t dare to make a decision on this, let me first tell Master Leng about the meeting and then let Master Leng make the decision. Although all of our board members agree with the outcome, yet I still respect Elder Leng’s wishes.”
After saying that, Director Wang took the lead and left the conference room, and within a few minutes, several other directors looked at each other and left the conference room one after another.
It didn’t take long for Mia and Nangong asked to be the only two people left in the large conference room. After they both left, Mia then felt like her entire body had been drained of strength, and her entire body sat down on the seat, looking ahead in a dazed manner.
“Mia , don’t be discouraged, you’re still young and inexperienced, you’ll definitely encounter this kind of situation.” Mia’s look again made Nangong ask’s heart hang in mid-air, “Otherwise, let’s go back to America first in the meantime, you also happen to clear your mind, okay?”
Mia didn’t answer, still looking ahead in a dazed manner as if she hadn’t heard what Nangong asked.
Nangong asked after a pause and held Mia’s hand, “Mia , don’t take it to heart, let’s go back to the United States first to take a break, wait for Master Leng to make a decision, let’s see, okay? This period of time, your spirit is too tense, and so many things have happened, that’s why your mental pressure is so high.”
Mia still didn’t respond, like she was in a trance, her face horribly pale.
Nangong asked froze and opened his mouth for half a day, not knowing how to comfort Mia. director Wang dared to blatantly convene a board meeting this time, he must have been completely prepared for a long time, even if it was just for show, old man Leng would let Mia stop working for a while.
Since we know the outcome, we might as well make our own decision and go to the US to clear our heads for a while first.
“Okay, let’s go back to America.” Just when Nangong asked thinking that Mia wouldn’t answer, he unexpectedly got a response from Mia.
He first froze, then his heart surprisingly vaguely rose a trace of surprise, holding Mia’s hand tightly, “Mia , good, good, then let’s pack up and go back to America, okay?”
The two of them were looking at each other with a pale face, looking at the two of them with fascination, seeing the two of them looking towards her, she looked a bit pale, and her voice was bewildered with some sadness and haste, “I, I am here to look for Mia, nothing else. … If you guys are busy, then I’ll go first!”
After saying that, she was in a hurry to leave, but she didn’t see the seat next to her, and in her haste tripped and fell violently to the floor.
Seeing this, Mia hurriedly ran over, Nangong asked hesitantly, but still followed her to Wang Yuxin’s side, hearing the footsteps of the two, Wang Yuxin quickly twisted her body, not letting them see her face that was already flowing with tears.
