"Lei Dong, the directors are ready. They are waiting for you in the conference room." Wisely knocked on the door and said softly, "Lei Zichen is still as hardworking as he was when he was a police officer. He can forget about everything else."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. I'll be right there." Lei Zichen woke up from his stupor, hurriedly packed up his stuff, grabbed his notebook and went with Wisely to the meeting room upstairs.

Walking into the meeting room, all the major shareholders were already seated in an orderly manner, waiting for Lei Zichen.

"Sorry everyone, I was too engrossed in reading the information just now. I came late." After all, his qualifications were still shallow, so most of the shareholders could be his uncles at their age.

"Alright, let's begin." Lei Zichen nodded at everyone and signaled for the meeting to begin.

Wisely turned on the projector, and all of Lai's plans to seize Taun's West Hill villas were laid out in front of these shareholders.

The moment this project was announced, the crowd went into an uproar as they all began whispering amongst themselves.

"Lei Dong, even though Tao Weiguang's reputation has plummeted in recent years, he said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If we do this, there will still be some risks." Some shareholders stood up and suggested.

"Yes, Uncle He, I know." Lei Zichen waved his hand at the man who just spoke. He had once fought alongside Lei Haotian, and now, he had even helped Lei Zichen fight a few beautiful battles. He could indeed be considered as one of the rich and powerful men of the Lei Clan.

"That's why I'm asking all the uncles here to discuss some countermeasures." Lei Zichen looked around with a smile.

"This West Mountain Villa is Tao Weiguang's trump card. If we take him down with us, then the entire Tao clan will completely collapse." Lei Zichen couldn't help feeling a bit excited as he thought about his plan.

"But if that's the case, we will also have to take a huge risk!" Uncle He said with some unease. As he saw Lei Zichen brimming with youthful vigor, he was also a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. This caused him to feel a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm just discussing with everyone to see how feasible this matter is." Lei Zichen wasn't in a hurry to throw out his argument, he merely nodded and smiled at the crowd.

"In my opinion, the feasibility is not that big. Tao Weiguang did not intend to sell off the Western Mountain, and it is indeed a piece of golden land. No matter who he is in, it is impossible for him to give it away this way." An old official objected.

"I know, so please take a look at my plan." Lei Zichen said as he waved the infrared ray in his hand to show everyone the plan he had written.

"First of all, in the past few years, the rise of the Lei Clan has overpowered many of the small companies that belong to the Tao clan, and they have quickly developed into the small shareholders of the Lei Clan. Then, we will continue to follow this method and swallow up some of the small and medium-sized enterprises around the Tao clan, ants will nibble on the bones, and the day that we get our hands on this Western Mountain, will be our ultimate goal."

Lei Zichen simply expressed his thoughts. "Small and medium-sized enterprises are an important part of supporting Tao's business. If this part is shaken, then Tao's life is in danger." Lei Zichen spoke passionately. Even all of the old officials present nodded their heads in agreement.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, I hope that you can come up with a more detailed plan and hand it to Wisely tomorrow. I will study it carefully, and then we can meet and decide on it." Seeing that everyone had been persuaded by him, Lei Zichen relaxed for a moment. To show mercy to others was more like being cruel to himself, Lei Zichen thought.

"Alright, let's discuss the matter first." Lei Zichen returned to his seat, placed both his hands on the round table, and looked around at the surrounding shareholders. Everyone had a different expression, but it was not relaxed at all.

"Alright, now please speak freely." Lei Zichen nodded, indicating that everyone can begin.

"Lei Dong, I believe that this is no small matter. We must be careful."

First, Uncle He said, "We can start investigating which of the recent small companies in Tao's company are on the verge of bankruptcy and not being able to continue running it. We have rushed to talk to the people in this department before they came looking for them, giving them a better treatment than Tao's. After all, the most attractive thing for us is to give these people some scattered shares. Uncle He could see the lofty ambitions of this young man, so he naturally gave him his full support.

"Alright, what Uncle He said makes sense. We should follow this direction and develop." In the past, Lei Zichen was one of a kind, dividing the entire Lei Family into several sectors, with the exception of guaranteeing the rights and interests of the various shareholders, the rest of the shares were all distributed to the scattered shareholders. As a listed company, the benefits these retail investors received far exceeded what they could manage on their own.

Although they had met with some opposition from some of the older directors at the execution site, as they thought that doing so would infringe upon their rights and interests, over time, as they watched as Lei's family grew stronger, the money in their pockets also rose along with them, and the voices of opposition gradually weakened. Only now did the directors of the entire company have a whole new level of respect for this young chairman …

The discussion lasted all afternoon, and the final conclusion was basically the same as what Lai Zichen and Uncle He had said.

Lei Zichen raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was time for him to get off work.

"Alright, uncles and uncles, let's end the discussion here for today. May I trouble you to submit a written document for me tomorrow, and we can discuss the views of everyone in detail?" Lei Zichen maintained his humble smile. "Sorry for the trouble. This meeting will end here." With that, Lei Zichen turned and left.

After returning to his office, he started to sort out the homework he had done throughout the day, while organizing his thoughts that had been a little disordered by the free discussion. In the shopping mall, he had to keep himself clear-headed at all times.

After tidying up for a while, Lei Zichen picked up the phone that was lying on the table for the whole afternoon. When he opened it, he found that there were more than ten missed calls from Irene.

Looking at the time, it wasn't too late yet. Lei Zichen hurried out. Since he had already decided to face the situation properly, he couldn't let down his expectations.

"Hey, Irene, are you still at the company?" Lei Zichen hurriedly called Irene while driving.

"Brother Zichen." Irene's voice sounded wronged, but she forced herself to continue speaking, "You've finally answered the phone, I'm still waiting for you at the company." The sweetness in her voice was mixed with her emotions after being ignored by the others. Hearing that, Lei Zichen actually had a trace of pity for her.

"I'm really sorry. I've been having a meeting for the whole afternoon and I almost forgot. Don't move while you're over there. I'll go pick you up right now." Lei Zichen hastily replied.

"Alright, then where are we going to eat?" Lei Zichen's words instantly dispersed all of Irene's dissatisfaction and confusion, leaving only a sweet heart full of expectation.

"Ugh …" Lei Zichen pondered for a moment. The various names that appeared in his mind were all related to Tao Tian. He couldn't help but shake his head.

"Come to my house." Lei Zichen said with some difficulty.

"Your home?" It was obvious that Irene was surprised.

"Have a taste of Sister Yun's culinary skills." After thinking about his father's warning this morning, Lei Zichen felt that doing so might be the right choice.

"Good, good, good." Irene was flattered, in front of him, she seemed to have become a little girl who was only filled with joy and excitement.

"Alright, wait for me." With that, Lei Zichen hung up and sped up …

A few minutes later, the red Porsche Carnival came to a stop at the foot of the "Love Group".

"Irene, you can come down now, I'll wait for you downstairs." Lei Zichen lit up a cigarette, puffing out smoke as he spoke.

He did not know why he wanted to smoke, but he felt that his current state of mind could only be expressed through smoking.

"Alright, Zhizhi, wait for me for a moment, I'll be right down." From the sound of her high heels on the other side of the phone and the crisp tapping on the marble floor, it was certain that Irene was already running nonstop down the stairs.

However, a few minutes later, Irene appeared in front of Lei Zichen, gasping for breath, "Brother Zichen, I'm here." Despite her heavy breathing, Irene's voice was still sweet and unaffected.

"Get in." Lei Zichen raised his head and signaled her to get on the car.

Irene hurriedly ran to the front passenger seat and got in.

"Brother Zichen, I …" Don't I need to buy some presents? " Irene asked shyly.

Lei Zichen was a little surprised and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Irene. Obviously, she had undergone a lot of meticulous modifications, such as a long fiery red skirt, black stockings, furs, and golden high heels.

"Let's go. I'll bring you somewhere." Lei Zichen said softly as he turned around to start the car.

"Alright," Irene obediently nodded, showing no disagreement.

Lei Zichen walked down this road with ease. That was the road from C to the market.

The distance was short, and with familiarity, they reached it in no time.

"What is this place? Why are we here?" Looking at the surrounding lush and verdant, colorful stalls, and the hawkers shouting at her, Irene couldn't help but furrow her brows in puzzlement.

"You don't like it here?" Lei Zichen asked. All of this was within his expectations, but it made him feel a little disappointed.

"Ugh …" "No more." Seeing the disappointment in Lei Zichen's eyes, Irene forced herself to smile as she spoke.

"Alright, let's go. Let's take a look inside." Lei Zichen raised his chin and said to Irene.

His heart was beating very fast. All of his memories, mixed with a moist breath, rushed towards him, almost wanting to pounce on him. He even almost suspected that he was a weak man.

There wasn't much of a change here. Everyone was tightly guarding their stalls as if they were responsible soldiers. The only ones who changed were him, the people around him, and their faces.

As he walked by, Lei Zichen started to reminisce about the past. The past was like smoke, and he could not withstand a single blow. It was just like his current state of mind and body.
