Chapter 46: The Rogue Board of Directors!

  There were several middle-aged men and women in the house. When they saw Wang Zhong enter, their expressions were somewhat shocked, but no one spoke.

  "Wang Zheng, how are you?" Shang Guan Shi Shi asked anxiously.

  Wang Zhong grasped Shangguan Jiazheng's pulse with his hand, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

  Due to the old man's reason, Wang Zhēng also has a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, but for diseases like Shàngguān Jiāzhèng's, it is something he has never heard or seen before.

  Pulse normal, heart rate normal, all vital signs are normal. Wang Zhong could even feel that the vital signs of Shangguan Jiazheng were better than those of ordinary people, but he just kept his eyes tightly closed, as if he had no consciousness!

  Shangguan Shishi said, "Just now I invited several famous Western medical experts, and they drew blood and did tests, but none of them could figure out what was wrong with Father. I sent them all packing."

  "Wang Zheng, what do you think is going on with Dad? Can he be cured?" Shangguan Shi's face was full of expectation, wanting to find the result she wanted from Wang Zheng's expression.

  Wang Zheng's eyebrows were tightly locked, with a thoughtful expression, and he didn't say a word.

  "What can a young person know? If he can cure my family's illness, I'll give him 100 million. If not, get out of here as soon as possible and stop being a nuisance."

  The speaker was a middle-aged man with an outstanding appearance and temperament, but his sharp language completely mismatched his appearance and temperament, making people feel very uncomfortable.

  Shangguan Jialin, Shangguan Lao's second son.

  Shangguan Shi glared at her second aunt with a mixture of anger and helplessness, but didn't know what to say.

  "What's going on? Hurry up and tell me the result!" Shangguan Shi saw Wang Zheng not speaking, her heart slowly sank to the bottom of the valley.

  "I think I may have been poisoned," Wang Zhen said with difficulty.

  "Poisoning, what poison?" Shangguan Shi's eyes lit up.

  "I don't know." Wang Zhong shook his head: "I've never seen such symptoms before, but I can be sure that it's absolutely not an ordinary illness. I often use poison and have a natural sensitivity to toxins. Although I'm not certain, I can be eighty percent sure that your father was poisoned."

  "What makes you think so?" Officer Lin asked again.

  "Intuition."

  Wang Zhong finished speaking and took out a silver needle from the alcohol box on his body, inserting it into several major acupoints on Shangguan Jiazheng's body, gently twisting it.

  "Hmph, what's the use of intuition? Shi Shi, you're too irresponsible towards your father. You casually found some quack doctor to treat him, are you hoping he'll die sooner?" said Officer Shang with a sarcastic tone.

  Shangguan Shi's face changed color with anger: "Second Uncle, why are you still talking nonsense at this time! Are you the one who is waiting for my father to have an accident! But as long as my father is around, don't even think about taking over the position of family head!"

  "What a ruckus! What kind of behavior is this!" A middle-aged man with a gloomy face, who looked to be over fifty years old, spoke up. His appearance was surprisingly similar to that of Shangguan Qinglang, with about an 80% resemblance. It was likely that he was Shangguan Lao's eldest son, Shangguan Jiaqi, and also the father of Shangguan Yunxiao and Shangguan Qinglang.

  "Notify all directors of Jù Róng International, tomorrow afternoon a board meeting will be held to decide on the temporary management rights of Jù Róng during Father's serious illness." Shàng Guān Jiā Qí said solemnly: "Shī Shī, you will attend the meeting in place of your father tomorrow."

  Shangguan Shi's small face suddenly turned red: "Uncle, what do you mean by this! My father is now lying in bed between life and death, but you are already thinking about dividing the family property! In all these years, has my father ever wronged a single member of the Shangguan family? If Grandfather knew about this, how heartbreaking it would be!"

  Shangguan's expression turned cold and he said, "How dare you! Is this the tone you use to speak to your elders? You're so impudent, how did your parents usually teach you?"

  "By the way, let's not tell Grandpa about what happened at home. He's old and can't take it." Shangguan Jiaqi said as he walked out.

  As soon as Lao Da left, all the men and women in the house went out, without anyone comforting the Ouyang family again.

  A group of white-eyed wolves are lurking around him, and his father falls ill at this time, what a bad timing!

  What a big family, yet can't find one person who can truly rely on and trust!

  Shangguan Shi looked at the group of people walking out, then gazed at Shangguan Jiazheng lying on the bed. Tears began to flow silently as she thought about how her father still didn't know when he could wake up, and the relatives around her were all stabbing him in the back. At this moment, she felt so helpless.

  At the moment when Shangguan Shi was most helpless, a pair of strong hands grasped her shoulders: "Don't worry, I'm here."

  In an instant, Shangguan Shi's warmth was unparalleled.

  "Give me some time and I will definitely cure your father."

  Shangguan Jia Zheng was originally supposed to go with Shangguan Shi Shi to Meilong Group and Cheng Anti-US to sign the equity transfer agreement, but in the afternoon, he suddenly fainted in the office without any warning signs. His vital signs were all normal, but no matter what they did, he couldn't wake up. Several Western medical experts had never seen such a strange disease before, and they were also at a loss for what to do.

  Wang Zheng's intuition was keen, and he felt a sense of unease, but couldn't quite put his finger on where this feeling of unease came from.

  …………

  This was Wang Zhong's first time entering the Jù Róng International Building, and it didn't have the shocking effect he had imagined. Although it was extremely tall, from the inside it just looked like a very ordinary office building. But who would have thought that many of the orders that determined the direction of China's economy were issued from this seemingly ordinary building by Shàng Guān Jiāzhèng?

  Under the suggestion of Shangguan Jiaqi, today Julong International held an emergency board meeting and decided that during Shangguan Jiaren's serious illness, the temporary leadership would be taken over by Shangguan Shishi. Everyone understands that at this time, it is very likely to be a change of dynasty, several bigwigs in the Shangguan family want to take advantage of Shangguan Jiaren's absence to get a share of the spoils, or even successfully take his place.

  It seems now that Lao Da and Shangguan are more likely to take the top spot.

  In the conference room, Shangguan Shi faced these old foxes who were eager for the position of the head of the household. He was obviously too tender and not familiar with the company's overall business. Every time he said a word, he would be refuted by a group of people one after another, and the noise continued. Some people even started shouting loudly to let Shangguan Jiaqi temporarily take over as the head of the household. In response, Shangguan Jiaqi didn't say anything, but just smiled mysteriously.

  Shangguan Shishi, an undergraduate who had not yet graduated, how could she compete with this group of people who were refined to the bone? In just ten minutes, Shangguan Shishi was thoroughly defeated and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

  "I'm saying, poetry is like this, the principle is very simple. Even if it's a vote, your uncle has the upper hand, why must you persist here? At this age, talking about romance and then finding a man to marry, isn't that great?"

  A man who looked very "concerned" said to Shangguan Shi.

  "Hmph, I think she's got her eyes on the master of the house, didn't expect someone so young to be so consumed by greed already. If this continues, it'll be a disaster." Officer Lin lit up a cigar, took a puff, and leisurely blew out a ring of smoke.

  When the former official was in power, these people didn't dare to be so presumptuous because that man was really too terrifying, and his brothers were also afraid of him. But now that man has mysteriously fallen ill, and a clever daughter wants to take his place, how can these people not vent their long-suppressed resentment?

  "No, I won't back down. Everything father left behind, I will take good care of it for him and wait for the day he returns."

  Shangguan Shishi's face was covered with tears, but she was full of stubbornness.

  "Whether I can come back or not is still uncertain." Shangguan Jialin puffed out another ring of smoke.

  "As I said, let's get on with the vote and stop wasting time here. I have a golf game scheduled."

  Shangguan Shi stared at her second uncle, but couldn't say anything. Tears gushed out again.

  Wang Zheng stood at the door of the conference room, heard these words, sighed, and pushed open the door.

  Shangguan Shi was already on the verge of collapse, but after seeing Wang Zhong, she somehow gained more confidence and composure. She wiped away her tears with force, but no longer cried.

  "What are you doing here?" Shang Guan Jia Lin glanced over and said: "This is the board of directors for Ju Rong International, it's best if unrelated people leave."

  Others did not speak out, but they still showed dissatisfaction with Wang Zhong's arrival.

  Wang Zheng completely ignored the upper official Lin, he entered the conference room, gazing at these people who were taking advantage of the upper official's absence to be reckless, a faint smile appeared on his face.

  Wang Zhong walked like this with his hands clasped behind his back in the conference room, sizing up one by one these people who could be ranked on the Huaxia rich list but never appeared on it, taking their expressions into his eyes.

  At this time, it seemed that Wang Zheng was the master of the conference room.

  Shangguan Jialin finished his cigar and let out a long sigh, stretching his waist: "Where did this dog come from? Don't hurry up and get out?"

  At this time, Wang Zhong happened to walk around the oval conference table and walked to Shangguan Shi's side.

  Squinting at these arrogant people, Wang Da, the bodyguard, smiled and spoke in a somewhat sinister tone: "I'm not some rich second-generation kid, nor am I an official's son-in-law. I'm just Wang Shishi's bodyguard. A bodyguard can't let their employer suffer."

  Wang Zheng said, pausing for a moment: "I don't understand what business is, nor do I want to get involved in it, so - if Shangguan Shi cries another drop of tears, I will cut off one finger from each of you."

  "How dare you! Security, security, take this man away!" The official Lin was furious and stood up shouting after being threatened by an unknown young man.

  "Don't doubt the authenticity of what I'm saying." Wang Zheng smiled and pulled out a spring dagger from his waist, inserted it into the conference table, and the blade easily entered the expensive red wood conference table like cutting tofu.

  Wang Zheng looked at the shocked expressions of the big shots around him, and smiled slightly: "I'll emphasize it again, if Shi Shi sheds another tear, I will disable one finger for each of you. I mean what I say, and there won't be any anesthesia."
