At the end of 2018, Zhongcheng's audit work was finally completed. Wang Gang invested one billion yuan in Zhongcheng, accounting for 23.8% of the company's shares, becoming the second largest shareholder.
Su Mingyu attended the first shareholders' meeting on behalf of Wang Gang. At the meeting, she proposed that all the funds invested by Wang Gang be used for scientific research and development projects. This was opposed by all shareholders except Mr. Meng.
The reason for the opposition of large and small shareholders is also very simple. Scientific research and development is too expensive, and it is hard to say whether it can produce results. Rather than throwing money into the sea, it is better to develop a larger market.
Zhongcheng is a traditional sales company, where sales is the foundation and R&D is not doing its job properly.
Su Mingyu had a quarrel with other shareholders at the shareholders' meeting, but Mr. Meng remained silent and offered neither support nor objection.
The shareholders' meeting ended unhappy, and Su Mingyu found Mr. Meng after the meeting.
"Master, why didn't you support me at the shareholders' meeting just now? Didn't my eldest brother agree with you that the prerequisite for investing in Zhongcheng is to develop new technologies!" Su Mingyu asked Mr. Meng.
"You are blaming me now." Mr. Meng raised his eyes sideways and said with great aura: "Blame your master?"
Su Mingyu's momentum weakened, and she lowered her head and said, "I didn't mean that, I was just worried that you would change your mind again."
"I have never changed my mind. If Zhongcheng wants to develop further, it will inevitably need to develop new technologies. This has never changed." Mr. Meng sat down at the tea table and started to make tea with his own hands.
"I taught you before that you should make decisions before taking action and never act recklessly. Have you forgotten?" Mr. Meng snorted coldly.
Su Mingyu sat opposite President Meng and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I was impulsive."
Mr. Meng nodded and said: "From now on, you will be your eldest brother's spokesperson on the board of directors. You have to think twice before you act or speak. The company's transformation is not that simple. There will definitely be many obstacles. You can't act recklessly."
Su Mingyu lowered his head in shame and asked: "Master, what should we do next? The board of directors is so resistant to transformation, and our new project cannot be launched!"
Mr. Meng took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay. You have joined the board of directors. This is the first step. What we have to do next is to find a way to gain the support of the majority of shareholders."
Su Mingyu said anxiously: "Brother has already transferred the first 300 million funds to the company's account. We can't just leave the money in the bank, right?"
Mr. Meng said calmly: "What's wrong with putting it in a bank? It's better than putting it in a company and being remembered by interested people."
Su Mingyu's eyes lit up and she said, "Master wants to use this money to lure the snake out of its hole and test the people on the board of directors?"
"You're not stupid after all." Mr. Meng said with a smile: "Three hundred million is not a small amount. Many people are eyeing this money and want a piece of the pie. I just want to see who jumps out first."
Mr. Meng comforted Su Mingyu for a few words, and then asked her to go back to manage the sales department.
Not long after Su Mingyu returned to the office, Su Mingcheng and Liu Qing walked in.
"Why are you here together?" Su Mingyu asked suspiciously when she saw the two of them.
Su Mingcheng and Liu Qing looked at each other, and finally Su Mingcheng came over and said, "Little sister, the money that brother transferred to the company's account is missing."
"I know, master, someone in the company may have the idea of transferring the money to other accounts." Su Mingyu said nonchalantly.
Liu Qing said anxiously: "Why do you trust Mr. Meng so much, and are you not afraid that he will swallow the money?"
"How is that possible?" Su Mingyu said with a smile: "My master has built up Zhongcheng's empire with billions of assets, how can it be possible that he only cares about 300 million." Su Mingyu said with a smile.
Liu Qing slapped her head and said speechlessly: "Su Mingyu, you are usually a very shrewd person, why do you get confused every time when you are here with Lao Meng?
Who would think that there is too much money, let alone 300 million in cash."
Su Mingcheng also worried: "Little sister, that is the money that my eldest brother invested in Zhongcheng. It was not given to Lao Meng. Even if he is the chairman of the company, he has no right to transfer the money away."
Su Mingyu explained: "Master wants to use that money to make plans and attract the evil spirits from the board of directors."
"In that case, why doesn't he explain it to his elder brother?" Su Mingcheng asked anxiously.
"I am Big Brother's spokesperson in Zhongcheng. Aren't Master and me the same?" Su Mingyu said.
Liu Qing stood up and asked Su Mingyu: "Have Lao Meng explained where the money will be transferred, which account, and how to arrange it?"
"This master didn't say it clearly, but he must have his own plan." Su Mingyu said firmly.
Liu Qing rolled her eyes and continued to ask: "Let me guess, is Lao Meng still urging you to put the remaining 700 million in the company's account?"
Su Mingyu remembered that when he just left the master's office, he did ask.
Looking at Su Mingyu's expression, Liu Qing knew that she had guessed correctly.
Su Mingcheng said: "When I participated in the audit of the company's financial affairs before, I found that many people in Zhongcheng's finance department had changed, and the financial director had only been in office for half a year."
Su Mingyu explained: "Master did hire a senior financial director for Zhongcheng to go public."
Su Mingcheng said with a serious face: "I found that Zhongcheng's accounts are very beautiful, even perfect."
"What do you mean, isn't it nice to have beautiful accounts?" Su Mingyu is in charge of the company's sales and doesn't know much about finance.
"I asked your second sister-in-law, and she also thinks that a company's accounts cannot be so perfect unless they make false accounts."
Su Mingyu was shocked: "What are you talking about? Do you suspect that the financial director is making false accounts?"
"The financial director was hired by Mr. Meng with the rights of chairman." Su Mingcheng took out a financial report and handed it to Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu opened the report and frowned after reading it for a while.
"Have you ever shown this report to your elder brother?" Su Mingyu asked.
"I've seen it, he said to ask you what you mean first." Su Mingcheng replied.
Liu Qing said: "Mr. Su should have seen something wrong, but because of your kindness, he didn't attack Lao Meng."
Su Mingcheng said: "Brother asked me to ask you, which one do you choose between him and Lao Meng?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Su Mingyu closed the financial statements with a complicated look and asked: "Since the elder brother noticed that there is a problem with Zhongcheng's accounts, why did he still invest in it?"
Su Mingcheng said: "I also asked my eldest brother this question, but he said that there is an opportunity only when there is danger."
Su Mingyu closed her eyes in pain and whispered: "Brother wants me to make a choice!"
With family members on one side and a master who was more like a family member on the other, Su Mingyu felt very painful in her heart.
"Brother asked me to tell you something. He won't blame you for any choice you make. He can afford the compensation for a mere 300 million." Su Mingcheng said quietly.
Su Mingyu opened her eyes, looked into Su Mingcheng's eager eyes, and asked, "What do you want me to choose?"
Su Mingcheng said matter-of-factly: "Of course I choose the eldest brother, he is our biological eldest brother after all."
The office gradually became quiet, and Su Mingyu was the only one with a painful look on her face.

Magic City, Tianhai Community.
Wang Gang's new home was finally decorated, and he brought his family to inspect the house.
The house that was inspected first was Wu Fei’s parents’ house. After visiting the new house, Wu’s father and Wu’s mother were very satisfied and smiled from ear to ear.
Next is Wang Gang's home. Wu Fei and Xiaomi ran around in the big house and had a great time.
Wang Gang spent a lot of effort decorating this house.
The 360-square-meter space was divided by Wang Gang into two major areas, one is the living room and the other is the bedroom. The living room is a full 120 square meters and is divided into three areas: the living room, the dining room and the open study.
Next are three bedrooms. The largest one belongs to Wang Gang and Wu Fei. One is for Xiaomi and the other is for their unborn child.
Wu Fei is pregnant for two months, and everyone is very happy.
In order to protect the pregnancy, Wu Fei also quit his job in the software company and now concentrates on being at home with his parents and taking care of the children.
The couple also agreed that after giving birth, Wu Fei would like to work or stay at home, it was up to her.
Father Wu and Mother Wu are naturally the happiest people. Their daughter and son-in-law have returned to China and will stay with them for a long time. They will also have a grandson in the future. Their old life can be considered complete.
Wang Gang was visiting the house when he suddenly received a call from his sister.
"Brother, I have decided that my surname will always be Su."
Wang Gang sighed and said: "Mingyu, I know it must be very painful for you to make this decision. I didn't want to embarrass you originally, but I underestimated Lao Meng's greed.
I have found out that Lao Meng is secretly transferring Zhongcheng’s assets.”
Su Mingyu was surprised and said: "What exactly does master want to do?"
Wang Gang said: "Your master not only wants to kick out the small shareholders of Zhongcheng, but also wants to privatize Zhongcheng.
His ambitions were too great. After learning that I wanted to invest in Zhongcheng, he changed his plan and wanted to empty the company and start a new one. By the time I realized it, it was already too late."
"Brother, what do you want to do?" Su Mingyu asked with some concern.
"I'm going to kick Lao Meng out." Wang Gang said without hesitation.
