"By then, it won't be as simple as resigning. Dahong won't give you a dime and will have you thrown in jail!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui was completely stunned, his eyes wide as he stared at Chen Zheng.

Wei Zixuan was also very surprised. Clearly, she found it hard to believe. Could a miracle have happened again?!

However, she was still somewhat worried and said to Chen Zheng in a low voice, "Chen Zheng, let's just leave. Our Xingsheng Group doesn't lack this one project!"

Yu Hui, who had been spacing out, immediately snapped back to reality upon seeing Wei Zixuan's reaction. He simply didn't believe that Chen Zheng owned thirty percent of Dahong's shares; it was impossible for him to be a major shareholder!

"What reckless bravado. Do you even know what a thirty-percent stake means? The chairman would have to step aside! If you owned thirty percent of Dahong's shares, I, Yu Hui, would call you Dad!

"And you want to investigate me for embezzling company assets? You piece of trash, how dare you spout such nonsense here!

"Heh… young man, I'll give you the same advice. Get on your knees and apologize to me right now, then scram from Dahong!

"I want to have a good talk with President Wei about the airport project. We need to get to know each other… intimately. As long as I'm satisfied, no project will be a problem!

"Otherwise, I will absolutely recommend to the board of directors that we cease all cooperation with Xingsheng Group!"

Yu Hui looked extremely smug. He had dropped all pretense, practically stating outright that if Wei Zixuan wanted to secure the partnership, she would have to make certain sacrifices.

"You're utterly clueless," Chen Zheng said, looking at Yu Hui coldly. I wanted to let you save face, but you refused. Then you've left me no choice.

Chen Zheng took out his phone and dialed his secretary. A moment later, Lisa's icy voice came through the line.

"Chairman Chen, hello."

"I'm in General Manager Yu Hui's office. I can't stand this man. I want you to start a full audit of all his accounts immediately. If you find anything suspicious, notify the legal department."

"Understood. I'll have someone handle it right away," Lisa replied promptly. "Chairman Chen, I'm on my way to you now."

With that, Chen Zheng hung up.

He then pulled Wei Zixuan down to sit with him on the office sofa.

"Heh, are you an actor? That was a pretty good performance. Which board member did you call? Go on, say their name. Scare me!"

Yu Hui, naturally, didn't believe a word of it. What a joke. How could Dahong's largest shareholder be a young man like him? I've never heard of anything so ridiculous!

"Chen Zheng, who did you just call? Could you really be…" Wei Zixuan whispered, still in disbelief. But Chen Zheng had just given her a huge surprise a few days ago, and he was the one who had invited her to Dahong Real Estate yesterday.

Could this be another surprise? Is it possible that Chen Zheng is really a shareholder of Dahong? Wei Zixuan felt like she was going crazy. She had clearly seen his file; he was just a young man from the countryside trying to make it in the big city. But the Chen Zheng she saw with her own eyes was completely different from the man described in the documents!

"Just wait a bit and you'll understand. Don't worry, don't be scared!" Chen Zheng said with a smile.

Wei Zixuan nodded slightly and said with a hint of feigned pride, "I'm not scared!"

Before long, the sound of high heels echoed from the hallway. In the next second, a tall woman pushed open the door and strode into the office. She was at least 175 cm tall, dressed in black stockings and a form-fitting business suit that perfectly accentuated her figure. She was also strikingly beautiful, but it was her icy aura that truly stood out, exuding a sense of superiority that could easily stir strange desires in men.

"Well, if it isn't Assistant Lisa. What brings you here?" Yu Hui exclaimed, though his heart tightened the moment he saw her.

"Yu Hui. President Yu," Lisa said coldly. "I am here on behalf of Dahong Real Estate's board of directors to inform you of your immediate dismissal. At the same time, the company's legal department has begun auditing your personal financial records against the company's accounts.

"If anything is discovered, rest assured the legal department will notify you through official channels. At that time, you will be required to appear in court as stipulated in the lawyer's letter."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt.

BOOM! He felt his entire world go blank. His body went limp, and he slumped weakly into his chair.

"This… How is this possible? Why has it come to this!" Yu Hui wailed hysterically.

By then, Lisa was no longer looking at him. She turned and walked towards Chen Zheng.

Approaching him, Lisa bowed slightly. "I'm sorry, Chairman Chen. I didn't know you had arrived, otherwise I would have been here immediately."

"It's alright. I didn't inform you I was coming," Chen Zheng said, taking out a folder and handing it to her. "This is the file for the airport project. From now on, you'll communicate with President Wei on all related matters."

Lisa took the file. "No problem, Chairman Chen. I will see to it personally."

After saying this, she turned to the woman beside him. "President Wei, hello. I am Chairman Chen's assistant. You can call me Lisa. I look forward to working with you."

"Chairman… Chairman Chen?!"

On the sofa, Wei Zixuan looked from Lisa to Chen Zheng in utter shock. A miracle... it really happened?!

However, she soon came to her senses and shook Lisa's hand. "You can just call me Wei Zixuan!" It was a reflexive response honed by years in the business world; she hadn't yet fully recovered, her mind still reeling from the shock.

But Lisa was a true professional. She began to explain the situation to Wei Zixuan in a considerate tone.

"Chairman Chen completed the acquisition of Dahong last night. He now holds a thirty-percent stake, and the board appointed him as the new chairman this morning. Furthermore, his first directive was to personally oversee the airport project."

Wei Zixuan was stunned. "Last… night?"

No wonder he invited me to Dahong yesterday! Could… all of this be for me?!

Wei Zixuan couldn't help but look at Chen Zheng, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Chen Zheng was slightly taken aback before he broke into a small smile and gave her a casual shrug.

He was actually a bit dumbfounded himself. After all, this was all arranged by the System; he never expected it to cast him in the role of a domineering CEO. My whole shtick is being the warm, gentle type!

Just as he was lost in these wild thoughts, Wei Zixuan leaned in and gently pecked him on the lips.
