Chapter 1023
Quite an appetite!
Moreover, Su Jingren did take some action, such as calling those who usually favored him overnight. The purpose of the calls was, of course, to find ways to sideline Lu Yan and make it impossible for him to remain as chairman.
Su Jingren did this because he had his own strength. The company's general manager had retired, and Lu Yan had been promoted to chairman of the board. This created two vacant positions in the company: the vice chairman and the general manager.
Su Jingren started working at Dongjiang Mining on his very first day of work. Now his daughter, Su Lingyi, is already twenty-eight years old. If you think about it carefully, he has worked diligently at Dongjiang Mining for thirty years. Of course, he has a lot of connections to get to where he is today.
While Lu Yan was able to assume the position of chairman, Su Jingren was also honored to be promoted to vice chairman of the company.
Moreover, having worked at the company for so many years, Su Jingren still had some people who were inclined to side with him. Therefore, Su Jingren felt very confident in front of Lu Yan. Since Lu Yan didn't give him any face, then Su Jingren shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
Lu Yan looked at these reckless people and knew that they were all on Su Jingren's side, but he was not angry because he was fully capable of dealing with them.
Lu Yan said to them calmly, "Is this funny? How about we arrange a few people like that for you too?"
Some people who are not known for their proper conduct even boldly expressed their thoughts, saying, "President Lu is really generous; he doesn't forget to share the soup with us while he's enjoying the meat!"
Everyone laughed again after hearing what the man said.
However, Li Meijia, who was standing there, had no idea that these people were just teasing Lu Yan. She was secretly pleased, thinking that Lu Yan was trying to introduce her to everyone!
At that moment, the conference room door was pushed open, and the person who entered was none other than Su Jingren, who was late.
Su Jingren did not apologize to Lu Yan for being late; instead, he swaggered in.
After Su Jingren sat down, he was surprised to see Li Meijia standing to the side and asked her, "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing Su Jingren's question, Li Meijia happily replied, "Uncle, oh no, President Su, Chairman Lu sent me!"
Su Jingren turned to look at Lu Yan, his heart filled with doubt. This office was only used for meetings of senior company leaders, so why would they call in Li Meijia, who had only been with the company for a few days? This was very illogical!
He looked at Lu Yan with doubt in his heart, ready to ask Lu Yan why he did this.
Although Su Jingren and Li Meijia weren't very close, Li Meijia was, after all, his beloved daughter Su Lingyi's best friend, so he still had to take care of her more in the company.
However, before Su Jingren could speak, Lu Yan said, "Now that everyone is here, the meeting can begin!"
Lu Yan ignored the gossiping executives and paid no attention to Su Jingren.
Lu Yan recorded everything Li Meijia said at the Royal Dynasty Hotel yesterday. Now he took out his phone and played the recording for everyone, and also released the messages Li Meijia sent him.
After hearing the recording and seeing the messages Li Meijia sent to Lu Yan, those who refused to collude with Su Jingren began to chatter amongst themselves, saying, "So this young girl got in through Su Jingren's back door!"
"What young girl? How could a young girl have such ambition and such a thick skin to dare to make a move on President Lu? She's probably done a lot of things like this before! With her qualifications, who knows how many men she had to step on to get a job at our Dongjiang Mining Corporation?" "Didn't you hear? This girl got in because of President Su's connections!"
"Oh, so this girl has gotten involved with our CEO Su. But CEO Su is old enough to be her father!"
"What's the big deal? Girls these days are very open-minded. Let alone being old enough to be a father, they wouldn't mind if the man was old enough to be a grandfather, as long as he's rich!"
"Wow, this news is explosive! I never expected President Su to be this kind of person!"
Su Jingren is usually quite arrogant, but he is relatively restrained in this regard. After all, Li Meijia is his daughter's friend, and he would never do such a thing.
After hearing everyone's gossip, Su Jingren slammed his hand on the table and looked at everyone, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? If I hear you say that again, I'll tear your mouths apart!"
Although Su Jingren wasn't afraid of Lu Yan revealing that Li Meijia had gotten in through his connections, he felt that with his own abilities, it was just a trivial matter.
But if word got out that he was having affairs with women, especially women so much older than him, and most importantly, his daughter’s best friend, where would he put his face?
That's why he was so angry.
Seeing Su Jingren so angry, Li Meijia quickly spoke up to defend herself, saying, "President Su's daughter is my good friend, nothing more. Please don't talk nonsense and slander President Su and my innocence!"
Li Meijia's words only fueled speculation about their relationship, instead of dispelling it.
The people present began to whisper among themselves again.
"Wow, this news is even more explosive! President Su actually got together with his daughter's best friend! This is truly the biggest news in the company!"
"I never expected that President Su, at his age, would be so cunning behind the scenes?"
Hearing even more offensive words from the people in the conference room, Su Jingren angrily looked at Li Meijia and said, "Shut up!"
"This CEO Su actually dared to intimidate that young girl like that. But this girl is quite ambitious. Not only did she get in touch with CEO Su, she even dared to dream of getting in touch with CEO Lu?"
"This little girl really has quite an appetite."
Su Jingren was already furious when people were gossiping earlier and had already threatened them. He never expected anyone would dare speak ill of him like this again; it was a complete challenge to his authority and a disregard for his authority. (End of Chapter)
