Jade Pearl Nightclub.
In a luxurious private room reserved for the boss, Xie Wending, the proprietor himself, had only sent one of his capable subordinates to conduct the transaction with that young master Ye.
Meanwhile, he was in the living room, on the genuine leather sofa, making the beast with two backs with two curvy blonde bombshells,
Just then, the sudden ring of a cellphone interrupted Xie Wending, causing his brows to furrow instantly.
Although he wanted to ignore it and continue savoring that soul-eroding pleasure, this was a special number that normally wouldn’t receive any calls! If it were ringing at this moment, it meant there was an emergency.
Cursing his bad luck under his breath, Xie Wending stopped what he was doing and ordered the girl giving him a special massage behind him, "Xiao Mei, bring me my phone."
The blonde complied, stood up, and walked over to the table to pick up the phone before returning to him.
Xie Wending took the phone, thinking to himself which blind bastard was disturbing his fun without having something important. If that was the case, he would see how he’d deal with them!
While thinking, he pressed the answer button and cursed,
"Fuck your mom! Old Cat, if you’ve got some shitty thing to bother me about, just fart it out quickly and then get lost!"
"Boss, it’s terrible! Something has gone wrong, something really big! One-Eye and the others got ambushed by the cops during the deal; everyone’s been taken away, and all the goods were seized by the police."
From the phone came Old Cat’s anxious voice,
Xie Wending’s face drastically changed, almost rolling off the blonde beneath, as he yelled, "Fuckin’ repeat that for your boss?"
"Boss! We’ve been ambushed by the cops, and One-Eye and the others have all been taken away."
Old Cat said again but was somewhat perplexed—was the boss hard of hearing?
An enraged roar came through the phone as Xie Wending, with eyes reddened, said,
"How could this happen? How did the cops know our transaction location?!"
Old Cat replied, "Boss Xie, it was that Ye Xuan guy, we were all played by him! He’s not any young master; he’s with the cops. He took down One-Eye and the others and then called the cops to make the arrest."
"I’ll fuck his mother! This son of a bitch dares to screw me over; I won’t call myself Xie Wending unless I tear that kid limb from limb!"
Xie Wending was seething with anger, with a vicious kick he overturned the glass table in front of him, his face as dark as a storm cloud, and roared murderously,
"What are you waiting for? Search! Get moving and dig up everything you can on this bastard, investigate all his background for me!"
Old Cat wiped the sweat from his forehead and then cautiously asked in a lower tone, "Boss, what do we do once we’ve found out everything?"
"Fuck! Are you a moron? Do I really need to teach you what to do? Don’t let that kid live till Qixi Festival! Get going!"
Xie Wending was beside himself with rage as he yelled into the phone.
Xie Wending, livid, his facial expression twisted, with a sinister glare, threw his phone onto the floor, shattering it.
Now, he needed to vent furiously!
Time flew by, and Ye Xuan spent another two leisurely days.
That Friday, a significant day arrived for Eastern Group—Lin Tong was to officially take over as the chairman!
On Friday morning, following the planned procedure, Lin Dongfang initiated a board meeting, personally declaring his resignation from the chairman position, including two other powerful positions: Executive President and Group CEO. He recommended President Lin Tong to succeed him, to become the new chairman of the company.
Subsequently, during the voting phase at the board meeting, all members of the board unanimously elected Lin Tong to take over as chairman, embracing her as the Executive President and Group CEO with full support.
Now occupying the top three executive positions, Lin Tong had become the highest-ranking controller of Eastern Group.
Lin Dongfang’s abdication, spoken in a nicer way, was to give opportunities to the young people, and at his age, it was time to enjoy life’s pleasures! But only he knew the helplessness behind the decision.
Lin Tong, holding a vast majority of the company shares and having absolute control, meant that even if he didn’t abdicate, he would ultimately be unable to withstand the pressure and would still be ousted from the chairman’s seat!
Better to step down proactively than to lose face completely, he could at least retain a shred of his own dignity. Similarly, at least this way he could ease the tension between himself, Lin Tong, and Ye Xuan, ensuring a semblance of security for his later life.
Of course, what he considered was more of a long-term plan; he was acutely aware of the energy and tact Ye Xuan possessed. His son-in-law was indeed more profound than he appeared.
He casually pulled out three billion Yan Country Coins to purchase a majority share of the company’s stock, only to willingly give it to Lin Tong—an audacious move that was truly astonishing! Not only that but also the three agencies that breached their contract were easily acquired by him, even managing to cut their agency conditions by more than half. He also secured significant financial cooperation with Liu Group, bringing Eastern Group back on track from the brink of bankruptcy.
From these astounding figures alone, one could glimpse the extent of Ye Xuan’s influence, which was incomparable to the now-fallen Song Family. Even the Song Family at their height had been brought down by him!
If Ye Xuan were to fully support Lin Tong and manage the company’s business well, then Eastern Group would undoubtedly reach a new peak in its development.
Like launching a rocket, the business could expand several times over, breaking through to a market value of over a billion. Going public would no longer be a pipe dream but a step into becoming one of East Sea City’s super-rich conglomerates.
At that time, the shares he held would also soar with rising tides, skyrocketing his net worth and assets—exactly what he’d dreamt of while in power.
As long as he clung tightly to Ye Xuan’s coattails, all of this could be realized, but the prerequisite was that he must step aside!
Because only with Lin Tong as chairman would she gain Ye Xuan’s full assistance, maximizing his potential to the fullest.
Only then could the company enter a phase of rapid development, and for this, he would lose the greatest price—his power! However, compared to the opportunity for the company’s growth and the chance for his net worth and assets to explode, this deal was worth it.
Because in this world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. To gain something, one must be willing to pay the price!
