Chapter 16 The Situation Becomes Clear

She didn't expect that the sudden inspiration she had while sitting on the steps would cause a series of butterfly effects.

For example, the next morning, when Liang Weining was queuing up to swipe her card to enter the building, she ran into a number of female colleagues with whom she was familiar. They all asked curiously, "How did Secretary Liang get in last night?"

Before he could answer, someone next to him interrupted, "It's definitely not a locksmith."

Everyone smiled.

From posting the status to [Entered, don't hang up.], it only took a few minutes, so there was no time to find a locksmith.

The only possibility is that Secretary Liang shares the apartment with someone else.

The problem was solved when my roommate came back.

Of course, the above is not the point.

The key point is the roommate's gender, nature, and relationship with Secretary Liang.

Liang Weining completely underestimated the gossiping ability of the office workers in Hong Kong companies.

They are really free.

I was so idle that I made up so many things out of my mind just because of a piece of status.

While her thoughts were wandering, Xu Zhou came in from outside and put a project plan on her desk.

Liang Weining came back to his senses and asked, "Do you want to make a copy?"

"Well, there will be a high-level meeting later. Everyone should have a copy."

Xu Zhou turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. "Oh, Mr. Chen has been delayed by something and may not be able to arrive at the company this morning."

Liang Weining nodded: "Then I will inform the people downstairs that the meeting will be postponed to the afternoon."

"No need."

Xu Zhou smiled and said, "Mr. Chen has ordered the meeting to proceed as usual. He asked you to randomly select a senior executive to make the decision on the Lianwu Island project on his behalf."

Randomly choose and let her?

Liang Weining's brain crashed.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Xu Zhou lowered his voice and soothed her: "Don't feel burdened, just do as Mr. Chen said."

There is often calm before the storm.

The Lianwu Island development plan, an S+ level project that has attracted the whole company's attention so far, was such an important meeting, but the boss just said he would be absent.

What is he up to? I don’t know what he is up to.

Quietly filter the information of today's participants in your mind.

There are thirty senior executives in total.

Who is the most suitable person to chair this meeting?
Liang Weining closed his eyes in melancholy.

She felt that Chen Jingyuan was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Half past nine in the morning.

In the spacious and bright top-floor conference room, the heavy wooden door slowly opened, the elevator at the end of the corridor was running frequently, and executives from downstairs arrived one after another. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

When everyone was present, Secretary Liang appeared at the front of the conference room as usual and asked everyone to sit for a while. Mr. Chen had some urgent business to attend to and would be ten minutes late.

The feedback from the scene was very calm.

Ten minutes is not too long, at least that’s what most people think.

However, things turned out to be far beyond everyone's expectations.

They waited for half an hour but still did not see any sign of Mr. Chen.

So someone couldn't sit still, stood up and walked to Secretary Liang's side, and asked her in a low voice: "What exactly delayed Mr. Chen? Is there any official business more important than today's project proposal?"

She shook her head and apologized, "I'm not sure either. Maybe Assistant Xu knows."

"Where is Special Assistant Xu?"

"Just left a few minutes ago."

"."

Fifteen minutes later, another group of people came to inquire about the situation.

Liang Weining remained unmoved and continued to give the same statement, seemingly unwilling to reveal anything.

For more than forty minutes, she sat steadily at the head of the conference table, taking in every face in the room without making a sound.

From the initial calmness to the current restlessness.

There were only three people who remained calm throughout the whole process.

One was Chen Jingyuan's most trusted confidant, one was a representative of the "neutral faction" who had been sitting on the fence for ten years, and the other was a loyal veteran who had been rooted in China and Hong Kong for more than a few decades. Seeing that the time was almost up, Liang Weining took a deep breath and stood up from his seat.

This sudden action caused the people below to stop talking tacitly and turn their eyes to the slender figure.

Liang Weining nodded to everyone and went straight to the point: "I'm sorry, everyone. Due to objective factors, Mr. Chen is unable to attend the meeting today. I now authorize Vice President Gao to replace him and preside over and discuss the first phase plan of the Lianwu Island development project."

As soon as the words fell, the air fell into dead silence.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they had not expected that Mr. Chen would hand over such important decision-making power to others so easily.

You know, Vice President Gao is...
Before anyone could think too much, Liang Weining smiled and signaled today's protagonist, hoping that he could take charge of the situation as soon as possible.

Below, the steady as a rock Vice President Gao, under the focus of dozens of eyes, sat quietly for a while, keeping quiet and secretive. Then he had to stand up and stride to the front of the meeting room.

The meeting officially begins.

Liang Weining opened his cell phone and sent a text message.

the other side.

Xu Zhou received the message, which contained only one word: [High.]

He raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Zhou looked at the rearview mirror and glanced at the man who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat.

Even he was confused by his master's move.

Aren’t you really afraid that Secretary Liang will make the wrong choice?

While thinking, he turned his head and reported to the back row: "Mr. Chen, the meeting is proceeding normally. Do you want to access it remotely?"

The stretched Pullman was driving smoothly on Causeway Bay CBD Avenue. The interior of the car was unusually quiet, with the faint scent of sandalwood flowing quietly, demonstrating the owner's relaxed and relaxed mood at the moment.

The skyscrapers outside the window slowly receded. Chen Jingyuan slowly opened his eyes and asked calmly, "How long has the meeting been postponed?"

Xu Zhou said, "About forty-five minutes."

That is, nearly an hour.

The grinding wheel of the lighter made a slight scratching sound. Chen Jingyuan lit a cigarette with a normal expression. In the light smoke, he whispered, "You are so young, but you are quite calm."

Xu Zhou chuckled when he heard this.

Not only that, the person chosen was also unexpected.

Not to mention his special assistant, even the senior executives under him must have been feeling extremely excited at that time.

Chen Jingyuan didn't ask who it was.

However, Xu Zhou had a hunch that his master might have guessed the words "Vice President Gao" a long time ago.

At this moment, in the conference room on the top floor of the China-Hong Kong Headquarters Building.

The parties gradually entered into heated disagreements over the first phase of the development plan.

Some are reformists who believe that while building the ecology of Lianwu Island, the group needs to take advantage of its inherent advantages to invest quantitative funds, adapt to the policy situation, and initiate in-depth research and development of cutting-edge biomedical technologies.

The other part voted against it, as they were worried that the initial investment was too large and the capital chain could not be recovered in the short term. If the group made any mistakes during this period, the shareholders would face an unprecedented disaster.

Naturally, the last remaining faction remained neutral as always and did not express any effective opinions. After all, they did not dare to offend either side.

For the next half hour, the two factions argued fiercely.

As the chief secretary of the board of directors' office, Liang Weining kept an eye on the situation throughout and was in a state of mixed emotions.

I recalled what happened last night in the office.

Chen Jingyuan's attitude towards the interview and the man's shockingly calm reaction when she raised those potential risks.

After careful consideration, she couldn't help but come up with a bold guess.

In the end, the two-hour project meeting failed to achieve the expected results due to the absence of the person in charge.

After the meeting, I returned to the secretary's office.

Liang Weining calmed down for a few minutes, dragged over the landline, and quickly dialed the number of the TV station's contact person.

After she explained her demands, the person on the other end of the phone thought he had misheard and confirmed with her twice.

"You heard that right."

She was planning to change the interview time to two days later.

Location: Lianwu Island.
