Chapter 512: Chapter 511 Learning
Liu Zheng nodded repeatedly, "Delicious, it’s just so delicious! Sweetie, when did you learn to cook?"
"Just now! Si Chen, you should try this, I made it myself!" Li Mingyue said as she handed another fried egg to Liu Zheng and bit off half of it.
"You cooked it yourself?" Liu Zheng asked in amazement.
"Mhm." Li Mingyue smiled sweetly and said, "It’s because Si Chen, you care about me the most!"
After hearing this, Liu Zheng’s face immediately became a bit awkward.
Loving Li Mingyue was because they were siblings. However, this was something he couldn’t say out loud. Smiling, he said, "Sweetie, you’re so smart. From now on, you can take care of your brother, and I won’t have to work so hard."
"Yeah, yeah." Li Mingyue bobbed her little head vigorously and said, "Don’t worry, Si Chen, I’ll be your personal nanny from now on, whatever you ask, I will do!"
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded, picked up the glass of milk and took a sip, then picked up another fried egg and started eating.
Seeing Liu Zheng enjoying his meal, Li Mingyue’s cravings were all aroused. She reached for a pair of chopsticks, grabbed a piece of fried egg, and began to chew carefully.
"Mmm, so tasty!" Li Mingyue felt like she was almost in heaven.
Watching Li Mingyue enjoy her food, Liu Zheng laughed and said, "Sweetie, once you’re fully recovered, I’ll cook whatever you want to eat!"
"Sure!" Li Mingyue agreed without hesitation and said, "I’ll have delicious food and fun food to eat when the time comes!"
"Ok!" Liu Zheng agreed cheerfully, then ate a few more pieces of fried egg and sandwiches.
After a satisfying meal, Liu Zheng looked at Li Mingyue and said, "Alright, let’s go to the company. I had arranged to meet friends today and have been delayed; I wonder if they have any objections."
"Sure!" Li Mingyue nodded happily, hooked her arm in Liu Zheng’s, and left home with him.
Upon arriving at the company, Liu Zheng went straight to the chairman’s office.
Pushing the door open, Liu Zheng saw Chen Haoyu, Zhang Wenfeng, Zhao Xiaoqian, and others all looking at him with complex expressions.
Liu Zheng waved to everyone as a greeting.
"Boss!"
"President!"
"President!"
Chen Haoyu and the others quickly stood up, respectfully calling out one after another.
Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Please, have a seat."
Once everyone was seated, Liu Zheng sat in the principal seat and said with a smile, "I’ve called you here today to make an announcement. I’ve decided to leave the handling of tomorrow’s chairman election to you all. What do you think?"
The crowd was startled at first, then rapidly came to their senses.
Chen Haoyu was the first to slam the table and stand up, "Great! This idea is good! I’ve been annoyed by Li Minghao for a long time now, and I’ve been looking for a chance to deal with him!"
"Exactly!" The others echoed one after another, their eyes flickering with a cold light.
Chen Haoyu sneered, "That little bastard Li Minghao dares to try to take our chairman’s position! Once we take his position, we’ll find a chance to deal with him thoroughly!"
Zhao Xiaoqian also nodded, "Right! Let him get lost! Hmph, we all know he’s the son of Chairman Li’s relative, but so what? He still doesn’t have any shares in the company."
Zhang Wenfeng also said, "That’s right. He may be the child of a relative of Chairman Li, but he doesn’t carry the Li surname, and this kid is no good. I despise these kinds of privileged second-generation heirs who bully others with their power! Once I become the Chairman, he’ll be the first one I replace!"
Chen Haoyu also chimed in, "Even if he’s not a relative of Chairman Li, we can’t allow him to strut around in front of us!"
The rest nodded in agreement, showing their support.
Even Li Mingyue appeared to agree.
Liu Zheng surveyed the group, nodded slightly, and said, "Since everyone agrees with this decision, let’s discuss it further. If anyone has objections, feel free to raise them now."
As he spoke, Liu Zheng took a piece of paper from his drawer.
The paper was filled with writing. The handwriting on it was sourced from Li Mingyue’s computer—it was her own handwriting, even more elegant and powerful than her original script.
"Take a look at this paper, it contains terms for the competition for the position of Chairman. If you have any doubts, bring them up, and I’ll address them all!" Liu Zheng tossed the paper in front of everyone.
"Good! We have no objections!" they nodded unanimously. They all believed the terms were without deceit, and none were foolish enough to voice a dissenting opinion—especially since Li Minghao had indeed made quite a few mistakes.
Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then, let’s start the voting now. Whoever gets the most votes will be the Chairman this time! My name, Liu Zheng, will be forever recorded on this paper!"
Chen Haoyu snatched the paper eagerly and began to flip through it. He was the only one aware of Liu Zheng’s background, and he needed to understand the content fully before devising a specific plan. If the election failed, his work would be considered a complete failure as well.
The others picked up their pens and began filling in their names on the paper. For a while, the boardroom was a scene of chaos.
After finishing their writing, Chen Haoyu handed his completed list to Zhang Wenfeng.
Zhang Wenfeng glanced at it, only to see five or six names, and furrowed his brow, "Who are these people? Why isn’t my name included?"
"They..." Chen Haoyu pointed at Liu Zheng and explained, "are Liu Zheng’s enemies, all wanting to take the opportunity of the Chairman’s election to eliminate him!"
"Enemies?" Zhang Wenfeng was stunned before bursting into laughter, "So, Liu Zheng’s enemies are just that bunch of nobodies! Ha-ha-ha! And here I thought he was some formidable character, but they’re just a pack of straw men!"
"Exactly!" Chen Haoyu nodded and said, "The position of Chairman is definitely mine. As for Liu Zheng... hmph, I’ll make him regret having me as an enemy!"
"That’s right!"
"I’ll also make him pay the price!"
"He dares offend me, he must pay the price!"
The people began to clamor all at once.
"Quiet!" Liu Zheng slammed the table and shouted sternly, "At this moment, you’re still bickering here. Don’t you consider the company your own home anymore?"
The room instantly went silent.
Liu Zheng’s gaze shifted to Chen Haoyu and he said harshly, "Chen Haoyu, I know you and Li Minghao are close brothers; that’s why you support him! But don’t forget, I’m fully aware of what you two have been up to!"
Chen Haoyu’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained composure and feigned surprise, "What have I done? I have no recollection of it at all."
"Chen Haoyu, don’t play dumb. I know all about the sordid deeds you’ve been doing behind the scenes! Do you really think you can keep your plans from me? Hmph, I guessed long ago that by doing this, you would invite wolves into the house and bring destruction to the Li Group! So this time, I absolutely won’t allow any surprises in the election results!"
Upon hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Chen Haoyu’s expression immediately darkened, but he still retorted defiantly, "Liu Zheng, don’t spout slander! Minghao and I have always gotten along well; we both want to be Chairman. How could we possibly conspire against him?"
"Is that so?" Liu Zheng sneered, "Then call him here and question him in front of everyone!"
Chen Haoyu’s heart pounded, cursing inwardly.
