"Ahem."

At this moment, Li Ancheng coughed and spoke: "Is everyone here? If so, let's get straight to the agenda."

"I have decided to step down from the position of Chairman of the Group, transferring this position and all my shares to Li Ze. Does anyone have any objections? Very well, if there are no objections, we will now proceed directly to the signing ceremony..."

"Wait a minute!"

A voice interrupted, the tone becoming sharp due to urgency.

It was Ruan Wenchang.

Liu Zhiyong's right-hand man.

This dark-skinned middle-aged man stood up, slamming the table, his face filled with frustration.

"Chairman, this is against protocol, isn't it? Everyone should have a chance to express their opinions!"

"Oh, didn’t I ask for your opinions?" Li Ancheng replied leisurely.

Bullshit!

Ruan Wenchang cursed internally, barely holding back from swearing out loud.

You said it so quickly, where was our chance to express opinions? This was definitely intentional!

Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Ruan Wenchang shouted:

"I don't agree with this!"

Liu Zhiyong took a sip of tea, remaining silent, as if none of this concerned him.

Li Ze narrowed his eyes: "Oh, Director Ruan, do you have any objections to me?"

Ruan Wenchang snorted coldly: "Chairman Fang founded this group and led it to where it is today. We all naturally respect him. But, Li Shao, why should you lead us?"

"When we were following Chairman Fang to build this empire, you probably weren't even born yet!"

His tone was aggressive.

Li Ze chuckled: "Why?"

"Because when it came to being born into the right family, I worked a thousand times harder than you. And you, unfortunately, are just a son of a bitch."

"You!" Ruan Wenchang jumped up in rage, but couldn't think of a retort. When it came to insults, how could he possibly outmatch Li Ze?

"Everyone, calm down."

At this moment, Liu Zhiyong put down his teacup and spoke slowly: "Chairman, Li Group was established by you, and it's natural for Li Shao to take over. We actually have no objections."

"It's just that, isn't it a bit early? You are still in your prime, sharp and capable. Leading the group for another ten or twenty years wouldn't be a problem."

"And while Li Shao has great talent, he does lack experience. Why not let him start from the middle management of the group to gain some experience? Young people need to broaden their horizons."

One played the bad cop, the other played the good cop.

Liu Zhiyong and Ruan Wenchang coordinated seamlessly.

Especially Liu Zhiyong, whose words were flawless. He flattered both Li Ze and Li Ancheng while subtly expressing his opposition.

Look, I'm not against Li Ze taking over, it's just not the right time. Give it another ten or twenty years, and I will fully support it with both hands and feet.

"Yes, Director Liu makes a good point!"

"Li Shao is indeed too young. He should gain more experience. Once he has enough qualifications and experience, we certainly won't oppose him."

"That's right!"

Many directors voiced their agreement.

After speaking, Liu Zhiyong resumed his leisurely demeanor, looking as though he was certain of victory.

"What an old fox."

Li Ze's expression remained unchanged: "But unfortunately, you've picked the wrong opponent."

"I don't have time to engage in these petty power struggles and test each other's limits. I prefer to flip the table directly!"

He was not Li Ancheng and didn't need to consider the so-called senior members' face. What Li Ancheng couldn't do, Li Ze could do without hesitation!
