The Prisoner Who Came Back a King
Chapter 36 – Strong return
At this moment, all the directors were already present in the conference room, except for one empty seat—Zheng Guozhong's.
Xiao Jun glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Why isn't Zheng Guozhong here yet?"
As Ye Feng's most loyal minister back in the day, Xiao Jun had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.
He had long wanted to remove Zheng Guozhong from the board to set an example, but due to the strong support from the other directors, he had to restrain himself.
Regardless, after today, everyone in the Yunfeng Group would undergo a ruthless purge.
After this, Yunfeng Group would truly belong to him, Xiao Jun, and no one would be able to hinder him anymore.
This board meeting was crucial. Whether Zheng Guozhong came or not was irrelevant; it wouldn't affect the outcome today.
Xiao Jun, full of confidence, addressed the directors below, "Today's board meeting has only one agenda."
"As everyone knows, with the group's growth and expansion, we've encountered some difficulties."
"Now the group needs further financing, to bring in funds to ensure further development."
"Since we're talking about financing, reforming the board is inevitable."
"I've prepared a reform proposal for this occasion. Please take a look, and if there are no issues, raise your hand to vote."
After Xiao Jun finished speaking, a beautiful female secretary distributed a stack of documents to each director at the conference table.
Xiao Jun took this opportunity to observe everyone's reactions. Most wore expressions of disdain.
They didn't take Xiao Jun's reform proposal seriously.
However, the directors still pretended to open the folders and glanced at the reform plan.
The reform plan was the same old routine, with no substantial changes, which was disadvantageous to everyone.
At this point, someone couldn't help but mock, "Director Xiao, if we follow your reform, we might as well all resign from the board. It's clearly about diluting our shares."
"I won't agree!"
The director flatly refused and slammed the document onto the table.
"Exactly!"
"With such a reform, there will be no place for us in the future."
The people below started to discuss.
Clearly, most of them wouldn't agree to the reform.
"Disagree!"
"What a ridiculous plan."
"Isn't it just about making us hand over our shares?"
The previously quiet conference room suddenly erupted into a noisy discussion.
Seeing this, Xiao Jun's expression turned very unpleasant.
But this was an expected outcome.
"Everyone, I advise you to agree to this, or I can't guarantee your personal safety."
Xiao Jun said coldly.
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent.
The words were full of threats, and everyone, not being children, naturally understood the implication.
After a brief silence, someone stood up angrily and slammed the table, "Xiao Jun, what do you mean?"
"No wonder you had people tightly guard the company today. What exactly are you planning?"
Some directors, unwilling to be manipulated by Xiao Jun, began to speak passionately.
They had all worked hard, and back in the day, under Ye Feng's allocation, they received their shares.
Now, with Xiao Jun's talk of reform, their shares would be diluted. How could they be willing?
"What do I want?"
Xiao Jun sneered.
Then he clapped his hands.
The Ye family thugs, who had been planted around in advance, flooded into the conference room, numbering a dozen or twenty.
"If you obediently pass this vote, you'll be treated well. Otherwise, the view downstairs is quite nice. Who wants to go down first?"
Xiao Jun finally revealed his sinister side, speaking with a menacing expression.
Seeing the fierce thugs around, some shareholders fell silent, realizing they had no choice but to bow under the knife.
However, some were not ashamed of Xiao Jun's actions and pointed at him, cursing, "Xiao Jun, you scoundrel, you used despicable means to frame Director Ye back then, and now you're oppressing the company's board for a vote. You really have no shame."
The speaker was Li Song, the executive vice president of Yunfeng Group, and one of the people Ye Feng had promoted back then.
Now that the facade was torn, he didn't hold back, directly exposing Xiao Jun's scars.
"I've been the chairman for so many years, why don't you trust me?"
"Li Song, under my leadership, the company has grown to its current size step by step. How does Ye Feng compare to me?"
Xiao Jun almost roared, envious of Ye Feng's abilities, unable to bear the fact that he couldn't match Ye Feng.
"Li Song, since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xiao Jun finished, becoming somewhat manic, "Take him down."
Several subordinates arranged by the Ye family rushed forward, pinned Li Song down, and punched him in the chest.
A wave of intense pain spread throughout his body, and Li Song kept wailing.
This scene made everyone in the conference room start to tremble.
Xiao Jun adjusted his suit and said coldly, "If you don't cooperate, this is what happens."
With Ye family members maintaining order, Xiao Jun knew that no matter how they struggled today, it would be futile.
The outcome wouldn't change.
He showed a hint of a victorious smile.
He continued, "Let's proceed with the vote, throw him out."
Xiao Jun waved his hand.
Several burly men in suits dragged Li Song out.
"Xiao Jun, you'll die a horrible death."
Li Song shouted angrily.
But venting his anger wouldn't change anything.
Under Xiao Jun's pressure, the entire board began to bow their heads. After all, they understood the principle of not suffering immediate losses.
With Li Song as an example, even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to resist.
Li Song's fate was clear, bringing them immense pressure, forcing them to compromise.
At this moment, downstairs at Yunfeng Tower, a dozen cars sped in and stopped in front of the plaza at the entrance.
Dozens of burly men got out, led by Ye Feng, with Zheng Guozhong and Liu Sandao following closely behind, and they walked directly into Yunfeng Tower.
Ye Feng, dressed in a well-fitted and exquisite suit, accentuated his already elegant demeanor to the fullest.
He remained as confident and composed as ever, as if everything was under his control.
Zheng Guozhong was full of excitement, following closely behind, just like in the past.
The most shocked was Liu Sandao.
As one of the bosses of Liancheng's underworld, how could he not know about Yunfeng Group?
It was the leading enterprise in Liancheng, with assets worth billions, even highly regarded by the authorities.
Yunfeng Group held a transcendent position in Liancheng, and even those with deep-rooted family backgrounds didn't dare provoke it lightly.
It was said that Yunfeng Group had the backing of a powerful family from the provincial capital, with immense strength.
He didn't expect that what Ye Feng had arranged for him was to take action against Yunfeng Group.
Besides shock, he felt more excitement.
The security at Yunfeng Tower saw Ye Feng and his group and hurriedly came to stop them.
In addition to Yunfeng Tower's security, Xiao Jun had also arranged for many Ye family members to guard the building.
When they saw Ye Feng and the others, they immediately realized there might be trouble.
They hurriedly came up to assist the security.
Liu Sandao's men were all carefully selected, highly capable, and after a brief battle, they quickly subdued the guards and took control of Yunfeng Tower.
Ye Feng didn't pause, and under Zheng Guozhong's lead, he went straight to the top, heading for the conference room.
At this moment, in the conference room, Xiao Jun looked at the trembling directors and showed a victorious smile, saying, "Everyone, quickly vote. For the board reform, raise your hand if you have no objections."
