Chapter 98: Hard Time Explaining

Xing Shu lowered her head and felt Cheng Gang’s vicious gaze. The trauma that Cheng Gang had brought to her that night was still vivid in her mind. She probably should not have provoked him. But even if she did not do so, Cheng Gang would not let her off.

Cheng Gang narrowed his eyes and shook the contents of the big screen. “We are only interested in the profitability when investing in a company. As for other things, they’re not within our consideration. These are the strategies regarding the company’s future given to me by the leadership of Alpha

Corporation. Why don’t all of you take a look before making a decision?”

Xing Shu had thought that Alpha Corporation could last two years at most. But after seeing this plan, she felt that it would not take two years; it would be bankrupt and restructured in a year. Perhaps Cheng Gang wanted to use this project to make a comeback, or perhaps he was good friends with the President of Alpha Corporation. In any case, he had overlooked many details and made irrational decisions. historical

Xing Shu slowly put down her fountain pen. This plan was beautifully written and carefully packaged. Cheng Gang polished it off with more oratory brilliance. In the end, he turned off the big screen. “The reason why Alpha Corporation chose Cheng Corporation Group is because the President and I are friends in private. We can’t miss this opportunity.”

Xing Shu looked up. “Two billion dollar investment? Such a huge investment requires the approval of the President, right?” Ifhe invested without Cheng Langs permission, wouldn’t that reduce Cheng Lang—the President—to a showpiece?

Cheng Gang choked at Xing Shu’s words, but he could not say the words he had long thought of. He wanted to do the same as before and split up the investment into amounts that did not require Cheng Lang’s approval. Otherwise, Cheng Lang would probably shoot this project down in flames when he saw that this proposal was Cheng Gang’s idea.

Seeing Cheng Gang’s hesitation, Xing Shu could not help but laugh. “Director Cheng Gang, you want to go over the President’s head to invest in such a huge project? It wasn’t too long ago that the incident with the R&D building took place, right? Several of you are on the President’s radar. If you really do this, I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time explaining to the President.”

Cheng Gang took a deep breath, wishing he could kill Xing Shu. He gritted his teeth and looked at Cheng Song. “Brother, this project is indeed worth investing in, but Cheng Lang probably won’t look at this project when he sees my name. So this time, we have to do what we did before. The incident with the R&D building has already happened; we can’t make up for it. But as long as the profits triple this time, we’ll recover the loss from the R&D building. What do you think?”

Xing Shu also looked at Cheng Song. If this person did not want to offend Cheng Gang, how would he answer?

Cheng Song smiled and took off his glasses. There were already wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Although he had taken good care of himself, he was already 50 years old. Time had taken its toll.

Cheng Song said, “Xing Shu is right. If we really do this, it will be difficult to explain to Cheng Lang. Why don’t we let Xing Shu test the water with Cheng Cheng Song’s move killed two birds with one stone. Xing Shu was engaged to Cheng Xingyang after all. Sooner or later, she would stand on Cheng Gang’s side. If she angered Cheng Lang, she would lose her position of Director. Then his son—who had just returned to the country—could take over. Once Cheng Lang found out that history was repeating with the incident with the R&D building again, he would definitely throw the book at Cheng Gang. As the one who had proposed this project, he would not be spared. Cheng Lang would not show any mercy, not even on account of Old Master Cheng. Cheng Lang held more than 50% of the shares of Cheng Corporation Group and did not have to pay heed to anyone. However, Cheng Song had miscalculated something—the relationship between Xing Shu and Cheng Lang.

Xing Shu had long wanted to end the meeting. So after hearing Cheng Song’s suggestion, she pretended to be put in a spot and said, “President Cheng is in a meeting. I don’t have his contact number, but I can try to send an email.” She deliberately said that she did not have Cheng Lang’s contact number to prevent the crazy Feng Jian from revealing her relationship with Cheng Lang. It would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Cheng family. Hence, she openly admitted that she did not have any private communication with Cheng Lang. Hopefully, it would give the Cheng family a heads-up.

Cheng Gang was indignant, but grudgingly accepted Cheng Song’s suggestion. There was no point in arguing any further. He gave Xing Shu a look, indicating for her to stay behind. Xing Shu complied. Only Xing Shu and Cheng Gang remained in the conference room..
