The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 182
Half an hour later.

After finishing his cigar, Gu Heng stood up from the sofa.

"Chairman Chu, 7 o'clock tonight."

"See you at Zhenhai!"

Gu Heng extended his right hand to Chu Zhengxiong and said with a smile.

"Chairman Gu, we will definitely be there on time."

Chu Zhengxiong held Gu Heng's right hand tightly, his expression appearing very sincere.

"it is good."

"See you tonight."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Gu Heng led Jiang Ruan, Zhong Hua, and Xiang Ling Shuang out of Chu Zhengxiong's office, with Chu Zhengxiong and Zhou Gang accompanying them.

Xu Ke, Yang Wenjie, and others also came out from outside the group's conference hall.

"How about it?"

Gu Heng asked softly.

“It went very smoothly.”

Xu Ke and Yang Wenjie simultaneously gave Gu Heng a reassuring look.

"That's all for today."

"You can bring your people over tomorrow to officially begin work."

He had initially worried that Chu Zhengxiong and his group of self-taught individuals would act unpredictably, but the whole process went surprisingly smoothly. Now that all his expectations had been met, Gu Heng felt much more at ease.

Following Gu Heng's instructions, Xu Ke, Yang Wenjie, and others once again surrounded Gu Heng, and were then personally escorted downstairs by Chu Zhengxiong, Zhou Gang, and others. Finally, they left Xingchuan International in the same vehicles they had come in.

Chu Zhengxiong stood on the steps of Xingchuan International's headquarters building, watching the stream of cars, like a black dragon, slowly depart. The seemingly kind smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Notify all directors that a meeting will be held in the boardroom in half an hour."

Chu Zhengxiong turned around and gave instructions to Yu Haitao, the director of the board office, then glanced at Chu Zhengnan: "Come to my office with me."

After saying that, Chu Zhengxiong walked back into the building with a cold face.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from his elder brother, Chu Zhengnan had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow.

The two took the elevator back to the chairman's office. Chu Zhengnan silently closed the door, then walked awkwardly toward Chu Zhengxiong in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"elder brother……"

Chu Zhengnan had barely uttered a word when Chu Zhengxiong, who had been facing away from him, suddenly turned around, raised his leg, and kicked him in the stomach, his tiger-like eyes filled with extremely violent rage.

Chu Zhengnan groaned as Chu Zhengxiong kicked him three meters away. He was in so much pain that he couldn't catch his breath for a long time, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"idiot!"

"Mud can't hold up a wall!"

Before I left—

"Did I ever tell you?!"

"So you're keeping me in the conference room?"

"Who gave you permission to take people down there without authorization?!"

"Chu Zhengnan, you've really grown up now!"

"Would you like to sit here from now on?"

Chu Zhengxiong pointed to the seat behind the desk, the veins on his right hand bulging.

"elder brother……"

"I was wrong."

Outsiders all say that Chu Zhengnan is fierce and ruthless. Those so-called knives, guns, and cannons from Jilin Province are trembling at the mere mention of Chu Zhengnan's name.

However, only Chu Zhengnan himself knew that his so-called fierceness and ruthlessness were nothing compared to his elder brother, Chu Zhengxiong's fierceness and ruthlessness emanated from his very bones.

"Wrong?" "You've made many mistakes!"

Chu Zhengxiong tugged at his tie, then picked up the document Gu Heng had left him and threw it directly at Chu Zhengnan: "I handed over the Perkin Club, Xiyue Club, and Tianmu Hot Spring to you, and this is how you manage them?"

"Corruption is rampant, and malfeasance is everywhere!"

Chu Zhengxiong pointed at Chu Zhengnan's nose and cursed wildly: "Do you know how embarrassed I was when Gu Heng slammed this document in front of me just now?"

Of the many issues Gu Heng just mentioned, half of them are related to the Platinum Club, Xiyue Club, and Tianmu Hot Spring, which are all under Chu Zhengnan's control.

"All he does is eat, drink, and have fun with that group of people all day long!"

"You treat them like brothers, but how do they treat you?"

"What a terrible traitor!"

"With your level of skill, how dare you disrespect Zhou Gang?"

"If you were really made president, you'd ruin the entire group!"

Chu Zhengxiong pointed at Chu Zhengnan's nose and cursed him, while Chu Zhengnan picked up the document and quickly read through it. As he looked at the shocking evidence, his eyes gradually became dazed.

"At the board meeting later, I will announce your removal from the position of vice president."

"Go to the internal security department and have some time to reflect."

Chu Zhengxiong finally released the anger that had been building up inside him for so long. He took several deep breaths and quickly regained his composure.

"it is good."

Chu Zhengnan remained silent for a long time, then nodded quietly.

"I'll say it one last time: Gu Heng is not someone we can afford to mess with."

"Money can make the devil turn the millstone. Given the amount of wealth that Gu Heng controls, if we really anger him, he can find 100 ways to deal with us."

"It's already 2023. The era of being brave and aggressive is over. Besides, even if we were brave and aggressive, we might not be able to beat Gu Heng."

Chu Zhengxiong looked down at Chu Zhengnan, his eyes deep and his voice low.

"Did you see those professional bodyguards around him?"

"Just pick two of them at random, and they could wipe out our group's internal security department."

As Chu Zhengxiong finished speaking, he looked at Chu Zhengnan, who seemed somewhat lost in thought, and couldn't help but sigh softly. Then he reached out and pulled Chu Zhengnan up from the ground.

"Anan, the group is about to undergo a major reshuffle."

"I removed you from your position as vice president this time, partly because I wanted you to take a break and reflect, and partly because I wanted you to keep a close eye on the people in the internal security department and prevent them from causing any trouble at this critical juncture."

Chu Zhengxiong raised his hand and wiped the large footprints off Chu Zhengnan's suit: "Also, cultivate a good relationship with Chairman Gu. Be quick-witted and attentive, and take the initiative to help Chairman Gu with anything he needs."

"it is good."

Chu Zhengnan responded sullenly.

"okay."

"Go out and wait."

"Chairman Gu is hosting a banquet at Zhenhai tonight. I'll be watching how you perform then."

Chu Zhengxiong patted Chu Zhengnan on the shoulder.

"Row."

Chu Zhengnan looked somewhat depressed, but he didn't hold any resentment towards Chu Zhengxiong, even though Chu Zhengxiong had just kicked him hard and dismissed him from his post and scolded him.

Because he knew very well that Chu Zhengxiong's actions were a manifestation of "deep love and strict discipline," and he also knew very well that he was able to live such a life today because Chu Zhengxiong had carried the burden for him.

Chu Zhengxiong shook his head at Chu Zhengnan, then ignored him and quickly walked back to his desk, picked up paper and pen to organize his thoughts, preparing for the upcoming board meeting.

……

That evening, Chu Zhengxiong led many directors and senior executives of Xingchuan International to Zhenhai Restaurant for a banquet, where everyone mingled and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Meanwhile, a storm was quietly brewing within Xingchuan International. The entire group's middle management was gripped by fear and uncertainty, and Gu Heng's name spread throughout the group at breakneck speed that very day…
