Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Chapter 144: Face to Face (7)

“Is this what you mean by increasing indices from five percent to eight percent in three months?” Wu Zhengwei mocked. “Are you planning to reduce the market value by that much?!”

“Vice President Wu, I know you’re anxious for Lu Firm to develop, but sometimes, it’s not always a good thing to be hasty. If I could revive the market in just half a month, I would be a god,” Lu Manman said calmly.

“I’m not asking you to revive it in half a month. It should at least be within the usual standards, but the market indicators you’re managing are plummeting. Lu Manman, we have reason to suspect that you can’t bear such a heavy responsibility!” Wu Zhengwei’s voice was cold and sounded authoritative. “Now that the chairman isn’t around, as the vice president, I have to take responsibility for the company’s development. Lu Manman, after our board meeting, we have decided to fire you. From now on, you don’t have to work at Lu Firm anymore!”

Lu Manman looked at Wu Zhengwei calmly.

She knew that he was up to no good.

It was as she expected.

It was so absolute.

Seeing her remain silent, Wu Zhengwei felt good deep down.

He still did not believe that she could turn the tides with the board of directors without Lu Zishan’s backing.

“Vice President Wu, is this the board’s decision?” Lu Manman, who had been quiet for a while, finally asked.

“Don’t you see that the people sitting before you are the shareholders?!” Wu Zhengwei scoffed.

“But according to my understanding of Lu Firm’s rules and regulations, all board meetings require the president to sign the papers before anything can be carried out. Has Vice President Wu asked my father to sign the papers?”

“Chairman Lu is facing some trouble now, so I’ll be in charge of Lu Firm’s matters!”

“On your own accord?” Lu Manman raised an eyebrow.

“Lu Manman, are you forcing me to be clear about this?! Can’t you save some face for your father?!”

“You might as well be direct with your words. I don’t think my father would care about this bit of face,” Lu Manman said slowly.

“Then, I’ll tell you something. Your dad’s case is closed, and there’s conclusive evidence! Your father doesn’t have the energy to manage the company now, and I’m bearing all the responsibility for him. How dare you question me?!”

“Who says I don’t have the energy to manage the company?!” Lu Zishan’s stern voice sounded from outside the room.

Everyone turned around.

Lu Zishan entered the meeting room.

Lu Manman smiled.

When she was called here, she had called her father in advance.

Wu Zhengwei’s expression darkened as he watched Lu Zishan enter.

At this point, at least until Lu Zishan was convicted by the court, he was still the president of Lu Firm.

Wu Zhengwei got out of his seat with a livid expression.

Lu Zishan sat on the rostrum naturally.

“I don’t need anyone to bear the responsibilities for me before I receive the final verdict. Thank you for your kindness, Vice President Wu,” he spoke very plainly.

Wu Zhengwei’s expression was already distorted.

Lu Zishan ignored him and went straight to the point. “Due to my personal reasons, Lu Firm has suffered some unnecessary losses recently. I deeply apologize, but I have to clarify to everyone here that I have not committed any illegal contractual crimes such as tax evasion, etc. And I believe that the court will prove my innocence. Of course, this is a matter of time, and the reason I haven’t been back to the company for the past two days is that I don’t want the employees of Lu Firm to have their jobs negatively affected by my baseless accusations. I also trust the higher-ups of the company to continue leading the company.”
