"This person holds a lot of shares. Although there is a gap between me and Li Xiaowen, he is also the third largest shareholder of Lisboa Entertainment. However, he rarely shows up, especially at regular meetings of directors. He is almost never seen."
"He can show up here today, and Li Xianwen is following him. I'm afraid there will be other unexpected events. You all should be prepared!"
After Lei Yingdong's reminder, Zhou Wenjun, while being wary of Li Xianwen, actually became a little excited. He didn't expect that this idiot actually had a relationship with the Chen family in addition to the Li family.
"I haven't attended the board meeting of Lisboa Entertainment for a long time. I almost got the date wrong. I'm so sorry!"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you all. This is my grandson, Li Xianwen. I just let him return to his ancestral home a few days ago, so I specially brought him out to see the world. Please forgive me!"
After hearing Mr. Chen's introduction, everyone at the scene fell silent tacitly.
Although the Chen family is famous, they are very low-key. When Chen Qinghua and Li Xiaohe got married, few people knew her identity. They only knew that she came from a high family.
So until the two of them parted ways, neither of them knew that Li Xiaohe's wife was actually the daughter of the famous Chen. Of course, as a member of the Li family, they naturally knew this.
However, no matter how much Li Xiaowen knew, he did not expect that the Chen family would suddenly accept Li Xianwen. After all, when the two broke up, they had never had any contact with each other again.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been the case that over the years, Li Xiaohe's work became worse and worse and no one was interested in him.
"Come here, my dear grandson, sit next to your grandfather and listen carefully to what you have said. How did the elders do things? After all, I am old, and you will take over my inheritance from now on!"
"So you have to study hard and don't let me down!"
After saying this, Mr. Chen quickly glanced at everyone present, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhou Wenjun without continuing to speak.
This sudden change caught He Xun and others off guard. The other party's intention was also very obvious, they were targeting Zhou Wenjun. After all, it was he who had someone break the other person's grandson's legs.
Zhou Wenjun knew that this aggressive old man Chen was targeting him. Wasn't it obvious? The younger one couldn't beat the older one.
But he was not afraid. After all, Zhou Wenjun was no longer the young boy he was before. So what if the famous Chen family was so powerful? Could he learn from the gangsters and kill people in public?
What these aristocratic families value most is red tape, so Zhou Wenjun is not worried at all that the other party will use such despicable tricks. As long as his life is not in danger, everything else is fine.
"Ahem, ahem, Mr. Chen, why didn't you tell me you were coming? This..."
"What's this? Xianwen is your nephew after all, and you, as his uncle, refuse to help him and even blame him. You are acting like the largest shareholder of Lisboa Entertainment!"
Although Chen Lao is only the third largest shareholder of Lisboa and does not hold many shares, the background and strength behind him are not comparable to ordinary people.
After all, if a family can survive for 100 years and grow stronger and stronger, its foundation must not be underestimated. What's more, he has another identity, that is, the former chairman of the Hong Kong Island Trading Company!
"Mr. Chen, I think you may have misunderstood something. Xianwen is my nephew after all. How could I not help him?"
"It's just that the situation was special at the time, and I was in a dilemma. If I had to name the culprit, it could only be the person who broke his legs. I was powerless at the time, so I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to, right?"
Li Xiaowen was well aware of Mr. Chen's identity, but the reason why he did not give face to the sixth room for so many years was entirely because the Chen family had long abandoned Li Xiaohe and his son.
But who knows, he usually ignores me, but he comes to the fore at the critical moment. This is so fucking weird. If I don't pass on the blame, I'm just waiting to die.
[293] People change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book, but don’t regret it!
Zhou Wenjun was used to Li Xiaowen's frequent shirking of responsibility, so he smiled calmly, then took a look at Li Xianwen's leg injury and said, "When I took action, your third uncle was there."
"With your status and strength, if you had tried to stop me, how could I, Zhou Wenjun, have taken action? As for why it has become like this, you don't need to guess the reason. Isn't it because you, Mr. Li, cooperated with me?"
Zhou Wenjun's seemingly frank words did not deny what he had done, but he also dragged Li Xiaowen into it because he was also telling the truth.
What is Li Xiaowen's status? What is Zhou Wenjun's status? The incident happened in the Haojiang Casino. As long as the other party wants to stop it, let alone him, he really can't do it.
Hearing this, Mr. Chen first glared at Zhou Wenjun, and then looked at Li Xiaowen not far away with a stern face.
Even a venomous tiger won't eat its own cubs. No matter how rubbish Li Xianwen was, he was still a member of the Li family. As his third uncle, how could he just stand by and watch without doing anything?
Moreover, after the incident, he completely cleared himself of the mess and now wants to put the blame on others. This behavior is really laughable.
As the head of the Chen family, he has been in charge of the family precepts for many years. In his eyes, what is the difference between Li Xiaowen's behavior and treason?
Zhou Wenjun is indeed hateful, but that is debatable. However, Li Xiaowen will definitely not be able to escape, so this time he must help Li Xianwen to go. Otherwise, if he continues to ignore it, the Chen family will lose face.
"Zhou Wenjun, what nonsense are you talking about? You clearly...'"
Li Xiaowen really wanted to explain the whole story, but he couldn't open his mouth. After all, this involved another matter of his. If the board of directors knew about this, his current position might be lost.
So rather than being misunderstood by others, Li Xiaowen chose to keep his mouth shut. After all, Chen Lao was so powerful, and it wasn't him who had the final say in Lisboa Entertainment! He had nothing to be afraid of.
"Ahem! Mr. Li, I'm from the Chen family, how could I possibly have the time to care about your Li Xiao's affairs?"
"I heard that the second in command of the Macau Casino currently has no crowds, right? It just so happens that my grandson has nothing to do all day, so he should exercise. I wonder if you can give him a chance to learn?"
Mr. Chen is a smart man, otherwise he would not have been able to run the Chen family to this extent, so he stopped at the right time regarding Li Xiaowen's behavior. After all, his ultimate goal was to let Li Xianwen take the position of the second-in-command of the Haojing Casino.
Because only in this way can Li Xiaowen be disgusted and Zhou Wenjun be speechless. The most important thing is that with this support, Li Xianwen will be able to stand on his own in the future without having to look at the faces of the Li family.
Hearing this, not to mention He Xin's disapproval, Li Xiaowen would not agree either! He prepared this position for Nie Aotian. If Li Xianwen took it, what would be the difference between giving it to Zhou Wenjun?
It would be good if Li Xianwen was obedient, after all, they were a family. But the current situation was very obvious, he seemed more willing to listen to the man named Chen.
So Li Xiaowen would never agree to this request no matter what.
"Mr. Chen, Xianwen is still young and not steady enough. Besides, he has never taken over the affairs of the Haojiang Casino."
"If you let him enter the Macau Casino so openly, it will inevitably cause gossip. After all, his uncle is the largest shareholder of Lisboa Entertainment!"
Seeing that his third uncle was the first to stand up and stop it, Li Xianwen was completely disappointed. How could such a selfish villain be worthy of being his third uncle? How ironic.
"Sir, I think you've thought too much. I joined the Haojing Casino as the second-in-command, but that was an example set by Chen Jia and it has nothing to do with you!"
"Since this seat is vacant and Nie Aotian and Zhou Wenjun can sit in it, why can't I, Li Xianwen, take it?"
This was the first time that Li Xianwen openly challenged Li Xiaowen. In the past, he had to call him uncle no matter what, but now he has even lost the most basic respect.
Seeing that the situation would be difficult to resolve if it continued like this, Li Xiaowen did not want to make things so ugly. After all, the infighting within the family would only bring shame to his own family.
What's more, the entire board of directors is currently eyeing He Xin and others covetously. If the trouble continues, won't they be laughed at by others?
"My nephew, when did your uncle ever say such a thing? It's not that you are not allowed to take the position of the second in command of the Haojiang Casino, but the timing is not right now!"
"Look, Nie Aotian just abdicated, and I pushed my own nephew to the throne. If this gets out, it will be hard for you and me, right?"
Li Xiaowen suppressed his anger, kept a stiff face and smiled. His attitude was completely different from a few days ago, which made Li Xianwen sneer on the spot.
"If you are not good, that is your business. I think I am good. After all, it was my grandfather who recommended me to the position, not your uncle!"
【 8⑹;07[38&零_450 294】想要卷土从来,你还有这个机会吗?
Seeing that the uncle and nephew were about to quarrel, Zhou Wenjun, while enjoying watching the show, did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
"I think what you said is absolutely right, Mr. Li. It is obvious that he is on this board of directors because of his grandfather's relationship. How can you, as his third uncle, take all the benefits for yourself?"
"Oh my! The world is fickle. It turns out that the so-called second-in-command only needs someone above him to be in the position! Then don't the other shareholders have any relatives or something?"
While Zhou Wenjun's words were full of sarcasm, he also reminded other shareholders to act quickly. After all, if it was too late, they would have no food to eat!
Looking at the drama at the Li family, everyone originally had their own ulterior motives and plans, but after hearing what Zhou Wenjun said, of course they seized this opportunity!
"Speaking of relatives, let's not mention my wife's brother. He's pretty good. He's young and promising, and he's a good candidate. How about he go to the Haojiang Casino to gain some experience?"
"How dare you mention your wife who is 10 years younger than you? It's fine if you're not ashamed of an old cow eating young grass! But you have to mess up the situation? I think my nephew is not bad, why not give it a try?"
"..."
Once someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow suit. After all, the position of the second-in-command of the Haojing Casino is so similar. Who wouldn't want to get involved with him?
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Li Xiaowen was really furious! Damn Zhou Wenjun, a good plan was ruined by him.
Zhou Wenjun laughed out loud after successfully disrupting the board meeting. He glanced at the serious Li Xianwen and raised his eyebrows. His smug look was beyond words.
Old Chen looked at the young man in front of him, his face darkened, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Wenjun? Old Chen had heard of his name. He was a rising star in the business world. Whether in terms of financial strength or means, he was not comparable to ordinary people.
I knew that my previous description of him might be a bit exaggerated, but when I saw him today, I was quite amazed by him.
It is rare to be able to maintain such a calm attitude and a cool head at such an age. It is no wonder that Li Xianwen lost to him.
"Alright, be quiet! The position of the second-in-command of the Haojing Casino is extremely important, and it is not something that can be easily touched by just anybody!"
"You all want to get a piece of the pie, that's fine, just rely on your strength! Li Xianwen? Zhou Wenjun, including Nie..."
"Mr. Li? Why are you promoting a retired second-in-command? Are you trying to use favoritism and corruption to push him back to the top? Don't forget, he made a mistake!"
When He Xin heard Li Xiaowen mention Nie Aotian, he immediately frowned and pointed it out directly to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation and trying to support Nie Aotian again.
He Xin spoke, and of course Lei Yingdong had to follow closely.
"That's right. Although the ancients said that it is the greatest virtue to correct one's mistakes, it has only been a short time since then!"
"Since you have already abdicated, don't even think about getting back on the throne, unless Nie Aotian can prove with facts that the same thing won't happen again in the future. But before that, this position can't remain vacant forever."
Lei Yingdong's implication was, of course, very clear: there was no way of supporting Nie Aotian again!
Being confronted like this, Li Xiaowen's wishful thinking naturally fell through, and his face became three points darker than the bottom of a pot. But at this moment, Li Minhe, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Lei is right. It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Nie Aotian's style and behavior are indeed worth considering, but we should give him a chance, right?"
"Look, all the shareholders want to recommend talented people. After all, I have been the second-in-command for so many years, so I must have the ability and strength. Why not stand on the same starting line with these newcomers and see what happens together?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the shareholders, who had been noisy just a moment ago, instantly fell into an eerie silence.
They are not afraid of anything else but Nie Aotian. After all, this man has been in the Haojing Casino for many years and has a foundation of relationships that cannot be compared to their relatives.
If they really give him the chance, there is a high chance that he will make a comeback. Then wouldn't all their little schemes be strangled in the bud before they even begin?
"According to what you said, if we can just make a gesture and let bygones be bygones, then why do those murderers and arsonists need to go to jail? Isn't it enough to just admit your mistakes?"
"Mr. Li, you and I are both new here, and we don't understand a lot of things. Why don't we just shut up and have a good discussion with these old shareholders?"
Zhou Wenjun looked at Li Minhe who was sitting opposite him with a smile in his eyes, but he had other considerations in his mind.
He had a rough idea about this meeting before coming to the board meeting, and it was definitely not that simple, but he did not expect that the development trend of this generation would become more and more weird.
No matter whether it is the sudden appearance of Li Minhe, or Mr. Chen who has not appeared for a long time, or the uncle and nephew of the Li family who have become enemies for no apparent reason, none of them will make Zhou Wenjun change his original intention.
After all, how could it make sense to let this defeated rooster continue to fight?
【295】This time it’s a fight between the big guys!
Li Minhe seemed very interested in Zhou Wenjun's sudden words. It was really interesting that a person of such status could say such words in such an occasion!
Isn't he afraid that if he shows off too much, he will be envied or plotted against?
"Mr. Zhou, you are just one of the candidates for the second-in-command of the Haojiang Casino. Do you think you can say what you just said?"
"If you ask me, you are the one who should shut up right now. You are so impatient and still want to be the second in command of the Haojiang Casino. It's a joke!"
Li Minhe somewhat recognized Zhou Wenjun's intelligence and methods, but he didn't like people who were too high-profile, especially those who did not have much strength or background.
Because a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, if such a person does not restrain himself, he will die at the hands of others sooner or later.
As far as the entire board of directors is concerned, apart from the shares he holds, Li Minhe's identity and status are completely on par with Chen Lao, Lei Yingdong and others, so he can say such things, and Zhou Wenjun does not want to argue with him.
After all, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The reason why Li Minhe is so arrogant is that he relies on his wealth and background. If he doesn't have these halos, what would he, Li Minghe, be?
But Zhou Wenjun’s silence doesn’t mean He Xin and Lei Yingdong won’t say anything!
"Can't keep calm? I think the person who can't keep calm the most is Mr. Li next to you! On the contrary, what Mr. Zhou said is indeed right-!"
"What's the point of all this noise? If anyone can push their relatives out, then what is this board of directors or even the casino? A vegetable market?"
Lei Yingdong said these words calmly while holding a teacup. He Xin on the side smiled and continued, "I'm sure everyone has heard of Nie Aotian. The reason why I recommended Zhou Wenjun is because I value his ability!"
"Unlike some people who, for their own selfish reasons, actually want to push the person who made the mistake out again! Of course, as he said, the first shareholder of Lisboa Entertainment is named Li, so there is no need for the second-in-command of Macau Casino to also be named Li!"
After hearing this, Mr. Chen was somewhat unhappy and said bluntly: "Xianwen, I recommended him. What does it have to do with Li Xiaowen? You have also seen that he, as the third uncle, has not fulfilled his responsibilities at all."
"So I personally think that what you said is biased. Besides, it seems that the second-in-command of the casino does things based on his ability? Xianwen is my grandson, his..."
"Tsk tsk! Mr. Chen, what you said is a bit funny!"
Lei Yingdong had a smile on his face and looked at Li Xianwen sitting in a wheelchair with disdain.
"No matter who recommended him, it is a fact that Li Xianwen's surname is Li. If he wants to have no relationship with Li Xiaowen, it is better to change his name and surname to the Chen family. This is the right way."
"Besides, whether Li Xiaowen and your grandson get along or not, that's their family affair. Why should we, as businessmen, care so much? And Mr. Chen, your grandson has a lame leg, how can he manage a casino?"
"You..." Old Chen glared at Lei Yingdong angrily and slammed the table and stood up.
"Mr. Lei, are you going to go against me to the end? He is just the boss of a small casino. What is your relationship with Zhou Wenjun? Why do you insist on protecting him?"
"Don't forget, our Chen family's business has had many conflicts with you. If we tear our relationship apart, neither you nor I will benefit. Why do we need to do this?"
····Request flowers0··
Mr. Chen failed to make excuses and had to talk about business, because he knew that no one could resist money these days. Zhou Wenjun was indeed interesting, but he and He Xin and Lei Yingdong were just partners. If interests were really involved, it was not certain who would give up whom!
"Mr. Chen, you can say this, why don't you think about yourself? Li Xianwen is a descendant of the Li family after all. Don't you know how powerful he is?"
"I don't want to ask why you came forward to protect him today, but you have to know that if he really had the ability, would he have fallen into such a state today?"
