illicit relationship

"Not only did you make all of our business partners stop collaborating with our company, you even destroyed our company's good reputation." Chao Chang Lan was furious.

At this time, he suddenly regretted choosing Chao Ming Hai to inherit his position in the company. He had built the Fibers company from scratch since he was eighteen years old, and now all his efforts to earn a good reputation and become bigger, had been blown to pieces.

It would be difficult to regain the good image of the company, and as a result, it would be challenging to make the company bigger because everyone didn't want to cooperate with a company that had a bad reputation.

"Father, please believe me. I didn't do that. Someone has slandered my sons and me." Of course, Chao Ming Hai tried his best to calm his father down.

"I have called all the shareholders. If they still want you to remain in your position, I will let you go, but if they want you to step down, your brother will replace you later." even though Chao Chang Lan could immediately replace Chao Ming Hai with Chao Yang Sheng, he didn't do that.

Chao Ming Hai had contributed a lot since he inherited his position as CEO of Fibers company. That was why he wanted to hear the opinion of the shareholders.

"What?!" Chao Ming Hai found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

One mistake. Only one mistake and his position as the CEO of the company was a danger. He was furious, but he could not do anything to his father.

Unlike Chao Ming Hai, who was enraged, Chao Yang Sheng laughed happily in his head after hearing his father's words.

He had a good relationship with the shareholders, so he was sure they would choose him because his brother had caused a big problem.

After one of the employees informed them that all the shareholders had arrived, they immediately headed to the meeting room.

The meeting room was quite big and luxurious. There was a long black table with ten chairs on either side in the middle of the room. There was also a large screen hanging on the wall, in front of the table.

When Chao Chang Lan stepped into the meeting room, everyone in the meeting room rose to their feet and greeted him.

Chao Chang Lan only smiled and gave them a sign to sit down before sitting on the chair, which was located right in front of the huge screen.

When Chao Yang Sheng saw his brother sitting next to his father, his lips curled into a smirk.

'Soon, that chair will be mine.'

Chao Yang Sheng then sat down on the chair near his father.

"I will get straight to the point." Chao Chang Lan spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "I'm sure you all know what has happened to the Fibers company. I'm holding this meeting because I want to hear your opinion about my son, Chao Ming Hai. I would like to hear your opinion first before deciding whether I will get him step down from his position or not."

"Mr. Chao, can we know who will take Mr. Chao Ming Hai's position if you make him step down from his position?" one of the shareholders inquired, "Is that person, Mr. Chao Yang Sheng?"

"Yes. We want to know about it first." The other shareholders said in unison.

"Yes." Chao Chang Lan responded. "That person is my other son, Chao Yang Sheng."

Due to how happy he was, Chao Yang Sheng almost laughed happily. Luckily, he was still able to control himself.

'I have never had a problem with them, so I'm sure they all have a good impression of me. They also know my contribution to the company.'

Chao Yang Sheng was ninety-nine percent sure that they would choose him as the CEO later.

The shareholders exchanged a glance with each other. They were thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of everything.

After thinking for more than a minute, one of the shareholders spoke, "I think it's better to replace Mr. Chao Ming Hai with Mr. Chao Yang Sheng."

"I think so too." another shareholder uttered, "Many companies have decided to stop their cooperation with Fibers company because of what the sons of Chao Ming Hai have done to their families or relatives."

"I also agree." Another shareholder said, "Even all the potential business partners suddenly changed their minds. If we don't change the CEO now, it will be challenging for the company to grow bigger."

Chao Yang Sheng's blood boiled in excitement after hearing their words.

'One more step, and I will be the next CEO of the Fibers company.'

Chao Yang Sheng tried his best to remain calm because it could ruin his good image.

"Yes." another shareholder spoke, "We also know how much Mr. Chao Yang Sheng has contributed to the company."

Because his position was in danger, Chao Ming Hai suddenly defended himself. "Wait. Please think about this carefully. I know that my son and I have caused big trouble to the company, but I promise to resolve this problem immediately. Please give me a chance."

"Mr. Chao Ming Hai, I know you have been working hard for the company, but the trouble you have caused is not small." One of the shareholders spoke, "Even if you resolve the problem, it doesn't guarantee that things will go back to how they used to be."

"Yes." another shareholder spoke, "We need a new CEO so the company can get a better reputation instantly."

Of course, Chao Ming Hai could not accept it. "You ne-"

However, before Chao Ming Hai had finished his words, he was interrupted by Chao Chang Lan. "Ming Hai, stop it. You can't force them to do what you want."

"But father, I can resolve this problem in no time." Chao Ming Hai spoke, "I promise."

Chao Chang Lan ignored Chao Ming Hai's words and returned his attention to the shareholders. "Please raise your hand if you want Chao Ming Hai to step down from his position."

One by one, the shareholders raised their hands. There were only two people who didn't raise their hands.

However, because the shareholders, who did not raise their hands, were fewer, Chao Chang Lan knew what he had to say. "Now I announce that the new CEO of Fibers company is Chao Yang Sheng."

Chao Yang Sheng could no longer hold back the happiness he was feeling. His dream of becoming a CEO for a long time finally came true.

He then rose to his feet and spoke, "Thank you all for this opportunity. I promise to do my best to make the company bigger. I will also try to get all our business partners to cooperate with us again later."

"We will look forward to it, Mr. Chao Yang Sheng." The shareholders said in unison.

Chao Chang Lan turned his head towards Chao Yang Sheng and spoke, "Don't disappoint me later, Sheng."

Chao Yang Sheng looked at his father and replied, "Don't worry, father. I promise I won't let you down."

As Chao Yang Sheng had a happy smile on his face, Chao Ming Hai gritted his teeth.
