Chapter 165: Take a Look at Your Phone First
“It seems that Mr. Cheng doesn’t quite welcome me here.” Ji Yan curled his lips and strode into the conference room. Wherever he passed, everyone subconsciously made way for him. Their gazes were fixed on his pair of heaven-defying long legs.
Didn’t the outside world say that Ji Yan would never be able to stand up again? Why did he move so freely at this moment? Why did he walk so smoothly? He was clearly still the king of the business world!
Ji Yan walked step by step to the head of the table. His actions were like the wind. Wherever he went, everyone made way, as if a king had returned. Seeing Ji Yan walk in front of him, Cheng Songyang unknowingly made way and gave up his seat. When he realized what he had done, his face burned with humiliation.
“CEO Ji, your legs have healed?” Zhou Xun recovered from his daze and was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. “That’s great, that’s really great! I’m relieved to see that you’re safe and healthy.”
“Thank you for thinking of me during this period.” Zhou Xun had worked hard with Grandpa Ji, so Ji Yan treated him with more respect. “I’m completely fine now. Please rest assured.”
“That’s great, that’s great.” Zhou Xun wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled. “Your Grandpa can rest assured now that he knows you’re well.”
Ji Yan nodded at Zhou Xun, then sat down at the head of the table and motioned for everyone to continue. “Let’s continue with the meeting. Don’t let me delay everyone.” He sat there with a strong aura, and everyone’s gazes unknowingly followed him. All the limelight was taken up by him alone.
“Cousin,” Cheng Songyang gritted his teeth. After he calmed down, he smiled again, “I haven’t congratulated you on your recovery.”
“I don’t deserve those words from you.” Ji Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the mockery in them. “Now that I’m back, Mr. Cheng can continue. After all, you were looking forward to my appearance at the shareholders’ meeting, weren’t you?”
As soon as he said this, Cheng Songyang’s face instantly darkened. He invited Ji Yan to attend the shareholders’ meeting because he wanted the disabled Ji Yan to see his position being taken away by him, and not for all of them to be suppressed by a healthy-looking Ji Yan.
Liu Kui and the others did not look too good either. They looked as if the sky was falling. On the other hand, Zhou Xun and the others who had always supported Ji Yan were in high spirits and looked very pleased with themselves.
Zhou Xun tidied his collar and said with a smile, “Since CEO Ji has returned, of course, CEO Ji should continue to lead the Ji Corporation and create a new legacy.”
Everyone responded in succession. Some of the people who were sitting on the fence saw that the direction of the wind was now in Ji Yan’s favor. Only the subordinates who were loyal to Cheng Songyang had ugly expressions on their faces and could not say a word.
“This doesn’t make sense, right?” Cheng Songyang suddenly said, “The position of CEO should still be occupied by one who is capable.” He smiled, and he returned to his usual elegant demeanor. “Cousin, it’s said that familial relationships do not exist in the business world. Then, don’t blame me for being blunt with you. I’m willing to compete fairly with you to see who can bring greater benefits to the Ji Corporation. Whoever wins will become the CEO of the Ji Corporation. The loser will automatically leave the Ji Corporation and no longer participate in the management of the corporation. The one who loses would just take the shares and receive dividends. What do you think?” There was an unconcealable ambition in his eyes.
“Compete fairly? Are you worthy of it?” Zhou Xun laughed disdainfully. The Ji Corporation could only be where it was today because of Ji Yan’s management. During this period when Cheng Songyang was in the Ji Corporation, he was merely maintaining the normal operations of the company. He could hire any company representative to do such a thing, let alone —
Zhou Xun sneered, “This Ji Corporation belongs to the Ji family. CEO Ji controls the most shares and is the biggest shareholder of the Ji Corporation. CEO Ji’s position is justified.”
Cheng Songyang did not even look at him. He turned a deaf ear to Zhou Xun’s words and only stared at Ji Yan. “CEO Ji, you don’t dare?”
“Mr. Cheng, you look as though victory is already in your hands.” Ji Yan looked at him indifferently. “Is it because of the project on the east side of the city that gives you the confidence?”
‘He knew about this?’
Cheng Songyang clenched his fists. He did not expect Ji Yan to be so well-informed when he was at home. Since Ji Yan already knew, Cheng Songyang no longer hid it. “That’s right. In the development of the old city districts, I bet that the east side of the city would definitely be chosen.”
“The east side of the city is Zhuang Corporation’s territory.” Ji Yan was unmoved. He reminded Cheng Songyang lightly, “Are you trying to bite off a piece of meat from the Zhuang Corporation’s mouth? I wonder if you have prepared enough funds for it, Mr. Cheng?”
