After leaving the office building of the East Sea Grand Courtyard, Wei Qianyuan did not immediately head to his car. Instead, he walked to a deserted corner with a dark expression, took out his phone, and directly dialed Li Shanglai.
Although he had already deduced that Li Shanglai had played him, he wanted to know where things had gone wrong.
Because, from his own analysis and judgment, this plan to use a borrowed knife to kill should not have gone awry.
Longteng Pharmaceutical, Chairman's Office.
Jiang Wuming sat by the tea table by the floor-to-ceiling window, while Li Shanglai skillfully boiled water and brewed tea for Jiang Wuming.
The water was natural mineral water from the snow mountains in the northwest, and the tea was high-grade Da Hong Pao from the southwest Minnan region, plucked from one of the ancient trees, worth a thousand gold per tael.
"Ding——"
Just as Li Shanglai was using tongs to deliver a cup of tea to Jiang Wuming, his phone rang.
Li Shanglai took out his phone and saw Wei Qianyuan's incoming call. He did not answer immediately but looked at Jiang Wuming, "Master Wuming, Wei Qianyuan is calling."
"Connect it, and put it on speakerphone."
Jiang Wuming picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently.
"Alright."
Li Shanglai nodded and immediately did as Jiang Wuming instructed.
"Li Shanglai, I want an explanation!"
As soon as the call was connected, Wei Qianyuan's voice was accurately transmitted through the wireless radio, echoing in Li Shanglai's office.
Upon hearing this, Li Shanglai subconsciously looked at Jiang Wuming—Jiang Wuming had not given him this script, and he did not know how to respond.
"What explanation do you want?"
Under Li Shanglai's gaze, Jiang Wuming spoke.
"Jiang Wuming?!"
On the other end of the call, Wei Qianyuan was first taken aback when he heard it wasn't Li Shanglai's voice, and then immediately recognized the voice as Jiang Wuming's.
He had met Jiang Wuming three times before.
The first time was at the Huangfu Manor for Huangfu Weixia's birthday banquet, the second time was at the Ninja Hotel in the Land of Ninjas, and the last time was a few days ago at the East Sea Hotel.
The three meetings had made him hate Jiang Wuming to the bone, and he naturally remembered Jiang Wuming's voice.
"Wei XX, good memory, to remember the name of a small fry like me." Jiang Wuming replied playfully.
Swish!
Facing Jiang Wuming's mockery, Wei Qianyuan's face darkened even further, as dark as Bao Gong.
He tried his best to control his emotions and said coldly, "The East Sea Hotel incident, the Li family did not blame you but stood by your side. It seems I underestimated the value of Tianyao Group."
"You don't underestimate the value of Tianyao Group, but the Li family's vision. Of course, you also overestimated yourself," Jiang Wuming retorted.
"Jiang Wuming, stop playing games! Without Tianyao Group, this cash cow, what are you in the eyes of the Li family?"
Wei Qianyuan replied coldly, his words also carrying a hint of playfulness, "Although I miscalculated this time, what does it matter? What can you do to me?!"
"If I told you that your official career is about to end, would you believe me?" Jiang Wuming provided the answer.
"What... What?"
Wei Qianyuan was first stunned, then chuckled playfully, "Heh... heh heh, Jiang Wuming, do you think that by having people shut down and rectify Tianyao Group, it will affect my career?
You're too naive!
But, it's not your fault.
After all, you're an outsider to the system, completely unfamiliar with the intricacies within it, let alone knowing how much weight our Wei family carries in East Sea..."
"Beep... beep..."
Halfway through his speech, Wei Qianyuan found that the call had been terminated, making him so angry his face turned green.
He had intended to verbally attack Jiang Wuming and regain the pride of the Wei family's young master, but Jiang Wuming didn't give him the chance.
It felt like rolling in bed with a girl, taking off his pants, only for the girl to say her period had come, which was very frustrating!
Despite the frustration, Wei Qianyuan did not persistently redial the phone like a shrew. Instead, he put away his phone, adjusted his emotions, and walked towards his car.
"XX."
Wei Qianyuan's secretary and driver alighted from the car simultaneously to greet him, their expressions extremely respectful but their hearts filled with apprehension.
This was because they had both seen Wei Qianyuan emerge from the office building with a dark expression, and he had been very agitated during his phone call just now.
This was completely different from the Wei Qianyuan they usually saw.
This also made them realize that Wei Qianyuan was in a very bad mood and they were afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"Go to Tianyao Group."
Wei Qianyuan said expressionlessly, then got into the car and sat in the back seat.
"Yes!"
The secretary and driver responded, got into the car, with the secretary sitting in the front passenger seat.
"Call Zhou Yun and tell him to notify the relevant department heads of the joint investigation team for Tianyao Group to rush to Tianyao Group within an hour. I will personally lead the team to inspect and accept the rectification of Tianyao Group!"
As the car started, Wei Qianyuan gave another instruction to his secretary.
"Okay, XX."
The secretary immediately took the order and then took out her phone to call Wei Qianyuan's deputy, Zhou Yun.
...
The East Sea Grand Courtyard was in the old urban area, while the Mindong District was the new area. The two places were quite far apart.
Even though it was not yet rush hour and the roads were not congested, it took the driver fifty-eight minutes to drive to the entrance of Tianyao Group.
When Wei Qianyuan's car arrived, more than a dozen cars were parked at the entrance of Tianyao Group.
The people inside the cars saw Wei Qianyuan's car arrive and got out, standing together to welcome Wei Qianyuan.
Among them, led by Zhou Yun, there were more than a dozen people from the Mindong District Grand Courtyard. The heads of the relevant units had brought their respective office directors and heads of business departments, totaling over thirty people. The scene was quite imposing.
As the car stopped, Wei Qianyuan did not get out immediately but frowned.
This was because he noticed that there was not a single person from Tianyao Group at the entrance.
This meant that after Zhou Yun and the others arrived, no one from Tianyao Group came out to greet them!
The secretary also noticed this, her face filled with shock!
Because, under normal circumstances, when a leader of Wei Qianyuan's level inspects a company, the company's负责人 would bring a large group of people to greet them, hang banners, and prepare all sorts of welcoming inspection work. How could it be like Tianyao Group?
"Wei XX."
When Wei Qianyuan got out of the car with a dark expression, Zhou Yun and the others immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"How long have you been here?" Wei Qianyuan asked in a deep voice.
"Twenty minutes," Zhou Yun replied.
"Have you notified Tianyao Group?" Wei Qianyuan asked again.
"The phone numbers of Tianyao Group's Chairman Su Shiyun and General Manager Qian Jin cannot be reached. I also asked people to contact the relevant departments of Tianyao Group, but no one answered the phone," Zhou Yun replied with confusion. Da Feng Novel Network.
Upon hearing Zhou Yun's answer, Wei Qianyuan frowned, but said nothing. He directly took out his phone and dialed Li Shanglai's number again.
"Li Shanglai, I am personally leading the members of the joint inspection team to inspect and accept the rectification of Tianyao Group. Your group has no one, and their phones are unreachable. What is going on?"
As soon as the call was connected, Wei Qianyuan spoke first, bombarding him with questions.
"Tianyao Group is going to be deregistered."
Just like the previous call, the response Wei Qianyuan received was Jiang Wuming's voice.
"You... What did you say?"
Wei Qianyuan looked incredulous, even suspecting his ears were playing tricks on him.
"Wei Qianyuan, let's see what happens next. Who is the one who is too naive!"
Jiang Wuming said with a smile, then, without waiting for Wei Qianyuan to reply, he hung up the phone directly.
"Beep... beep..."
Listening to the busy tone from the receiver, Wei Qianyuan had a bad feeling!
...
