Chapter 743: Kneel Down!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Si Cong slumped on the sofa, lazily saying, “Young Master Zhou, do you think he’s genuinely angry or just putting on a show for us?”

“Is it important?” Zhou Chao glanced at him, his tone somewhat indifferent.

Si Cong paused for a moment, recalling the things Zhou Chao had instructed him to say at the dinner party earlier. He quickly realized that Young Master Zhou still had some tricks up his sleeve, and it seemed his intentions were not small!

The lazy demeanor vanished in an instant as Si Cong quickly “pounced” from the sofa and leaned towards Zhou Chao, startling him into scooting back a bit.

“What are you doing, acting so surprised? Sit back down!” Zhou Chao glared at him irritably.

Si Cong also realized he had been a bit out of line and chuckled before returning to his seat.

Just as he was about to speak, the sound of the door opening interrupted him. Turning his head, he saw that Chen Li had returned.

“Sorry, the phone call took longer than expected.”

Chen Li, who was seasoned in the business world, rarely showed his emotions, but Zhou Chao could still detect a hint of lingering frustration in his eyes, indicating that perhaps the results of his subordinates’ investigation had angered him somewhat.

But this had nothing to do with Zhou Chao. Holding those young troublemakers accountable was just a part of his plan, merely a convenient excuse for himself.

“Sit down and have a cup of tea to soothe your throat!” Zhou Chao said as he refilled Chen Li’s cup.

Whether it was the words of the two men touching Chen Li’s heartstrings or not, he wore a troubled expression.

He even took out his cigarettes and handed one to each of them.

After taking a deep drag, Chen Li slowly continued, “You both must understand that the shares of our company relatively scattered. I only hold 38% of the shares, far from having absolute authority. However, the relationships among shareholders are currently harmonious, and there haven’t been any major conflicts!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao understood Chen Li’s implication. As long as the company could make money under his leadership, his position would be quite secure. But if they couldn’t make a profit, even the position of chairman might not be stable.

These words were somewhat confidential. If they were heard by someone with malicious intent, it could cause turmoil within the company, inevitably leading to fluctuations in the stock market.

So, what was Chen Li’s purpose in saying all this? It was likely he wanted to complain in front of Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao’s brainstorming kicked into gear instantly, and after pondering for a moment, he understood the meaning behind Chen Li’s words.

“What a cunning old fox. He must have realized my intentions!” Zhou Chao glanced at Chen Li and cursed inwardly.

But then again, Chen Li was quite audacious. He dared to plot against him, wanting to use him to eliminate internal instability. His plan seemed well thought out, but didn’t he fear inviting trouble into his own home?

It seemed Zhou Chao had underestimated Chen Li. But then again, how could a self-made entrepreneur who built a dairy empire from scratch be so simple-minded?

“Since he wants to use my hand, why not just come out in the open? Let’s see how he responds!”

Zhou Chao’s lips curled slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his face. “Director Li, these matters are quite simple. Coincidentally, I’ve been considering entering the dairy industry. When the time comes, I’ll just directly acquire those scattered shares, leaving only our two families. That way, Director Li, you won’t have to worry about these matters anymore.”
