Night Rose

The shareholders looked towards the door in surprise, where a tall young man stood, upright with his chin slightly raised, exuding an imposing presence. He also bore the resemblance to Zhou Ruian in his eyes and brows, and they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Zhou Chengzhuo suddenly stood up, clenching his fists. This person actually dared to cause trouble!

The shareholders looked left and right, realizing the two had something on their minds, and then they laughed.

"Nephew, who is this? How did he get to the top floor? Is the Zhou family's security this bad these days?"

"This young man seems quite remarkable; he even looks a bit like President Zhou, don't you think?"

"No way, Mr. Zhou only has one son, he can't be an illegitimate child, can he?"

"Uncle shareholders, don't let him influence you. He's just here to cause trouble. I'll have someone kick him out right away!" Zhou Chengzhuo said angrily, making a call to the secretariat and telling them to come and clean up the mess.

The secretariat staff rushed over, thinking someone had broken the security on the top floor, but when they arrived, they saw Secretary Wu standing by the wall outside the door.

Wu Ting has access to the top floor, which is something all his employees know. So how could it be considered an intrusion?

"Mr. Zhou, isn't this Secretary Wu? Is he... also being sent away?" the secretary asked cautiously.

"I knew it was Wu Ting who brought him here! Get rid of them, get rid of them both!" Zhou Chengzhuo shouted frantically.

Seeing him lose control of his emotions, the shareholders had different expressions, most of them snickering, drinking tea, and enjoying the farce.

"Secretary Wu..." The secretaries looked at him with difficulty. They all knew that Wu Ting was President Zhou's confidant, and they did not have the authority to order Wu Ting around.

Wu Ting smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I'm just bringing President Zhou's son to visit the company."

"President Zhou's son?" someone asked curiously. "Wu Ting, stop hiding it, come out and tell us what happened?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense! My dad only has one son, me!" Zhou Chengzhu shouted.

However, the shareholders didn't care and just waited for the person at the door to speak.

Wu Ting walked in and pointed to Zhou Zheng with a gentlemanly air, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhou's eldest son with his ex-wife, Zhou Zheng. Mr. Zhou is currently ill, and the company should not be run by Zhou Chengzhuo alone."

"As far as I know, Mr. Zhou's eldest son left the Zhou family a long time ago and is not on Mr. Zhou's side. How can we entrust the company to him?"

"What do you mean by 'one-man rule'? We don't care. We only care if the group can continue to make money for us."

"Wu Ting, you mean they're going to fight over it? Both want to be the head of the Zhou family?"

"The shareholders' meeting has already discussed and decided to let Cheng Zhuo take the lead. He has been with his father for so many years and his skills have improved. He will definitely be more capable than this big guy."

"Yes, ultimately, shareholders are the ones who determine the fate of a company, not just blood relatives."

Wu Ting's lips curled slightly; these people had taken the bait.

"Are you all serious? The shareholders decide, not based on blood ties?" Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow, his hands in his pockets, completely at ease.

"Of course! Without these shareholders, would the group be where it is today? I'm just running the business according to the shareholders' wishes. It's not that I'm not giving in to you, big brother!" Zhou Chengzhuo called out "big brother" through gritted teeth, full of sarcasm.

Laugh at his overestimation of his abilities, laugh at his self-inflicted humiliation.

However, Zhou Zheng's expression remained calm, showing no signs of embarrassment or humiliation from being suppressed by Zhou Chengzhuo.

Zhou Chengzhuo couldn't help but wonder if he still had some tricks up his sleeve. But it was impossible. The old man was only lucid for a short time and couldn't even speak, so he couldn't hand over the company to him! He couldn't possibly have the ability to turn the situation around.

"Alright, since it's the shareholders' decision, then I can exercise my veto right." Zhou Zheng pulled out a chair, sat directly opposite Zhou Chengzhuo, and crossed his legs.

A long table was set up, with Zhou Chengzhuo sitting in the main seat and the other shareholders sitting on either side of the table.

Behind Zhou Zheng was only Wu Ting, but his aura was stronger than theirs.

"You? Who do you think you are? Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're Dad's son! Don't you know what kind of place this is? Is this a place for you to run wild?" Zhou Chengzhu shouted loudly across a long table.

Zhou Zheng placed his hands on the table, tapping them lightly with his fingers. "Show some respect to your shareholders, or you won't want your other teeth either."

"Shareholder?! What are you talking about? You're a shareholder of Zhou's? That's hilarious! Hahahaha! Wu Ting is going crazy with you too, you two are really insane!" Zhou Chengzhuo laughed wildly.

He laughed until he gasped for breath, peering through his tears at Zhou Zheng's expression, hoping to see a flaw in his clumsy performance. But Zhou Zheng remained completely unfazed, even more arrogantly putting his legs up on the long table.

The other shareholders looked at Zhou Zheng differently. If he wasn't just pretending to be crazy, then he probably really had something going on.

"Uncles, you don't actually believe him, do you? He must be joking," Zhou Chengzhuo said, his smile gradually fading as he glared at him hatefully. "Zhou Zheng, if you keep causing trouble, I'll call security! Are you going to get out yourself, or have someone carry you out and throw you out?"

Zhou Zheng raised his hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and pointed forward.

Wu Ting understood, took out a share certificate from his bag, and handed it to the center of the long table.

The shareholders were skeptical, but the man on vacation picked up the stack of documents, flipped through a few pages, and his expression changed drastically. "You...you actually own so many shares?!"

The other shareholders quickly took the papers and passed them around for a look. Some even slumped back into their chairs, looking dazed. "That shareholder who's been absent for years is actually him?!"

"Uncles, stop teasing me! Him? Why are you playing along with him? You promised me I'm the president of Zhou's Group!" Zhou Chengzhuo panicked, thinking these people were just joking.

The stack of documents was passed back to Zhou Chengzhuo, and the person who handed them over said irritably, "Chengzhuo, we agreed, but he hasn't agreed yet. If he hasn't agreed, then it doesn't count!"

Zhou Chengzhuo was stunned. He just couldn't believe it. How could Zhou Zheng really be a shareholder of the group? If he were really a shareholder, would he be living such a hard life in that small place like Nanyuan? He didn't even own a nice car and lived in an apartment building. That was impossible!

The document was filled with dense text, and Zhou Chengzhuo felt dizzy from reading it. It took him a long time to piece together the important words. The moment he saw them clearly, he was completely dumbfounded!

A bolt of lightning struck him squarely between the eyebrows! It electrified him, making him feel both soft and tender.

Zhou Zheng is indeed a major shareholder of the Zhou Group!
