Chapter 116 Coup

Rong Zhi walked into Sang Yuwan's office; the other vice presidents had not yet arrived.

"Good morning, Chairman."

Sang Yuwan was reviewing the week's work plan when she saw him come in. She looked up at him and said, "Sit down."

His tone was icy.

Rong Zhi's face was expressionless as he pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.

Sang Yuwan frowned and lowered her voice, "Go over there."

Rong Zhi's gleaming leather shoes paused for a moment, and he turned his office chair to the side. In his line of sight was a set of rosewood display shelves.

That was something Bo Xingzhi bought back from Beijing at a high price ten years ago.

On the shelf, there are also many antiques he has acquired through auctions.

Rong Zhi's pupils contracted, and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Although Bo Xingzhi is gone, his presence is felt everywhere.

"Sister-in-law, shouldn't those things be moved to a different place?"

Sang Yuwan paused for a moment, then followed his gaze.

Soon, I understood what he meant.

"Why change?" Sang Yuwan's expression was cold and indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm in her slightly raised voice.

Rong Zhi stared at a blue and white porcelain vase and twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm worried that seeing this will remind you of someone."

Sang Yuwan's eyes narrowed, and her face instantly tightened. "Nonsense."

"Does your sister-in-law mean she doesn't miss your brother at all?" Rong Zhi continued to ask.

The atmosphere in the large office was strangely tense.

Sang Yuwan gave him a cold glance and scolded him in a low voice, "You have to be mindful of the occasion when you're joking."

Rong Zhi's gaze darkened, and he said seriously, "I'm not joking."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xian Si led three vice presidents in.

When the three vice presidents met the two, they inexplicably felt a sense that was hard to put into words.

After a slight pause, he greeted her respectfully.

"Good morning, Chairman. Good morning, Second Master."

Rong Zhi glanced at the three of them sideways, seemingly mocking himself, yet also seemingly sarcastically saying, "Today, I arrived earlier than you all."

The three vice presidents felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly checked the time on their wrists.

As always, three minutes early.

One of the vice presidents boldly replied, "We are certainly no match for Second Master."

Rong Zhi smiled, turned his chair around, and faced Sang Yuwan.

The three vice presidents then sat down as well.

Today's meeting focused on the bidding process for the Xinjie Textile Factory site.

Vice President Gao spoke up, "Chairman, the Shen Group, which was competing with us not long ago, has actually withdrawn from the bidding."

Sang Yuwan's brow twitched.

Rong Zhi's expression remained calm and composed.

They knew perfectly well why the Shen family had given up the bid.

Rong Zhi gave the Shen Group to Sang Yuwan as an apology. Currently, Sang Yuwan is the true owner of the Shen Group.

The three vice presidents, however, were puzzled and found it very strange.

Vice President Gao even suspected that there might be something wrong with the project, which was why Shen's Group was in such a hurry to withdraw.

Another vice president, Han, chimed in, "Chairman, this project isn't very profitable, and it's extremely labor-intensive. Perhaps we should..."

Rong Zhi interrupted coldly, "You guys really have double standards. You never even considered making a profit from the Longtan project in Gucheng."

The three vice presidents turned pale and looked at each other, "This..."

Rong Zhi's eyes were dark and his face was cold. "Right now, the bidding has entered a critical moment. With the Shen family withdrawing, the Bo family is almost certain to win. At this time, you are suggesting giving up. What are your true intentions?"

Sang Yuwan's eyes also turned cold and sharp, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the three vice presidents like autumn wind sweeping over fallen leaves.

The three vice presidents were trembling.

“President Rong is right.” Sang Yuwan’s tone was calm and firm. “This project is far superior to Longtan in Gucheng. If you three cannot provide a reasonable explanation today, then I really cannot keep you here any longer.”

Rong Zhi's cold lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

To him, her imposing presence was incredibly captivating.

As Sang Yuwan finished speaking, the air in the office froze.

The three vice presidents stood up almost simultaneously, their bodies trembling for a moment.

Sang Yuwan gently lifted her eyelids, her gaze growing increasingly cold.

Rong Zhi didn't look at them; his gaze drifted vaguely to the bookshelf behind Sang Yuwan.

The upper shelf of the bookshelf displays the honors that Bo has received over the years.

It must be said that both Bo Yuanshan and Bo Xingzhi were indeed diligent and conscientious in their work. However, they never imagined that they would not be able to enjoy everything they had worked so hard for.

Of course, Sang Yuwan also contributed to this.

As a woman, the pressure and difficulties I face at work are far greater than those faced by men.

If her parents were still alive, or if she hadn't been kicked out of the Ming family six years ago, perhaps she wouldn't be working so hard.

Alone, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and forge ahead.

The huge office suddenly fell silent, and the pounding of the three vice presidents' hearts could almost be heard clearly.

Time passed by, and neither of them spoke.

Rong Zhi remained silent.

"Speechless? Or too embarrassed to speak?" Sang Yuwan glanced at the three vice presidents again, her lips parted slightly, her voice revealing a faint coldness and authority.

Vice President Gao gasped and clenched his fingers. "Chairman, since you don't trust us at all, we might as well resign."

Since Bo Xingzhi's death, he has been eagerly waiting to take over Sang Yuwan's position.

Unexpectedly, instead of promoting them, she retained both power and influence.

Even when the board members suggested that she relinquish some of her power, she remained unmoved.

Even her promise to hire a professional manager has yet to materialize.

Rather than waiting passively, we should go all out and outmaneuver her.

Upon hearing this, Rong Zhi's unfocused eyes narrowed inch by inch, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "A threat? A coercion?"

Sang Yuwan remained calm, without the slightest hint of panic. "Are you really leaving?"

The three vice presidents said firmly, "Staying here wouldn't make much difference; we must leave."

"Okay." Sang Yuwan's eyes were like the ice on a lake in early spring, melting at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. The corners of her lips turned up, and she smiled faintly.

The three vice presidents were surprised that she agreed so readily, without even saying a word to try and persuade her to stay.

They felt a sense of resentment.

Before they could speak again, Sang Yuwan immediately ordered Rong Zhi, "President Rong, help them resign as quickly as possible and complete the relevant handover work."

Rong Zhi's expression hardened, and he said in a cold voice, "Yes, Chairman."

He slowly stood up and looked at the three vice presidents. "Please, gentlemen."

Seeing this, Vice President Gao and his colleagues felt even more regretful. "Chairman, we..."

Sang Yuwan's eyes were cold as she said seriously, "I ask that the three of you cooperate with President Rong's work and not resist or conceal anything. Of course, I believe you will cooperate well."

Rong Zhi's brow furrowed slightly.

Thud—

The office door closed gently, and Sang Yuwan's face fell completely.

This is what Lin Ran meant when she said that Bo Xingzhi had planted a time bomb for her.

drop--

She was about to drink some water when her phone rang.

Looking down, she saw that someone had sent an email to her private inbox.
