Chapter 1837: Chapter 1454: The Outlook Is Grim?! (Part 2)

The host’s intention is to have Zhengdong Province give a speech, a real “farewell,” since Zhengdong Province is the company founder and has always been the executive director. Today, he’s stepping down, so it’s only right for him to speak first.

Unexpectedly, Zhengdong Province was whispering to Bai Xiaosheng and didn’t stand up immediately.

Over there, Luo Zitian took the initiative to stand up, laughed, and said loudly, “It seems our Mr. Zheng is not too convenient at the moment, so I’ll start us off instead.”

His words even left the host on stage surprised.

Downstage, the old employees were stunned at first and then burst into dissatisfaction.

“Mr. Zheng hasn’t spoken yet, why is he in such a hurry to stand up!”

“Luo, he’s so brazen, actually stealing Mr. Zheng’s spotlight!”

“If he becomes the executive director, I, I won’t accept it!”

The low murmurs of discontent gathered, and although Luo Zitian might have heard it, he still smiled and walked out of his seat, heading straight to the stage.

Zhengdong Province looked up to see this scene, and his face immediately showed some anger. He was about to stand up and reprimand Luo Zitian.

Just as Zhengdong Province was about to move, someone pulled him back.

Zhengdong Province turned his head to see Bai Xiaosheng smiling, shaking his head slightly, and gesturing towards the stage.

Meaning, let Luo Zitian put on his performance first.

“The distressed troops will prevail.” Bai Xiaosheng softly said four words.

Zhengdong Province was momentarily stunned, then understood Bai Xiaosheng’s meaning.

After all, his mind is sharp and beyond normal people.

What is “the distressed troops will prevail”? It’s a saying meaning when two equally matched armies face off, the one filled with grief and anger will win. Later, it refers to the side that rises in resistance after being bullied, inevitably achieving victory.

Simplified, it means when emotions are suppressed to a certain extent, breaking out will result in astonishing combat effectiveness.

In gaming terms, it would be like gaining a buff.

Luo Zitian’s arrogant demeanor contrasted sharply with the respect and affection Zhengdong Province received from others, who now found himself in a weakened position, creating a strong emotional tension in the room that perfectly fits the saying.

Bai Xiaosheng intends for Zhengdong Province to build momentum.

Zhengdong Province glanced at Luo Zitian on stage, took a deep breath, and truly held back.

Seeing that Zhengdong Province was silent, seemingly conceding, Luo Zitian chuckled lightly, further infuriating the crowd.

Even Dong Tianxiu frowned and said angrily, “This person is too excessive, too arrogant!”

Seeing Dong Tianxiu’s reaction, Dong Tianlu instead smiled, looked at Luo Zitian with admiration, “He’s doing well. If he has ability, why not use it to his advantage? Why can’t he strike his opponent with momentum? I actually think Luo Zitian is right. Don’t forget, we’re in a competitive relationship with your friend at the moment. Don’t let personal friendship affect your emotions.”

Dong Tianxiu remained silent, but still seemed somewhat unconvinced.

Previously, his dislike for his sister’s views was what kept him out of the business world.

Seeing this, Dong Tianlu smiled and said nothing more.

On stage, Luo Zitian got hold of the host’s microphone, smiling as he looked down, especially glancing at Zhengdong Province and Bai Xiaosheng beside him.

“For me to go first is actually beneficial for all of you. Think about it, once Mr. Zheng comes on stage for his speech, announces his resignation, everyone can disperse, saving time. Isn’t that great?” Luo Zitian jokingly added, “Having such a boring meeting, you all must be tired of it, right?”

His words again aroused a murmur of discontent.

Luo Zitian was essentially declaring victory, indicating that Zhengdong Province didn’t even need to support anyone else, he would surely lose.

Simply arrogant to the core!

Zhengdong Province couldn’t help but secretly clench his fist.

No matter how deep his composure, facing someone as infuriating as Luo Zitian, it’s hard to keep calm.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, watched Luo Zitian’s performance with a calm smile.

“I believe everyone present is familiar with me.” Luo Zitian held the microphone, looking around below, finally opening up, “I am Luo Zitian, currently holding twenty-five percent of the company’s shares, naturally making me the largest shareholder, temporarily equal to Mr. Zheng. However, I believe I will gain more shareholder support! At present, Mr. Zheng is stepping down from the executive director role, and in the company, there’s considerable support for me taking on the executive director position. For this, I thank everyone for your support, and I will surely lead you towards an even more brilliant future!”

Luo Zitian’s speech clearly had an inauguration feel to it.

Below, boos and murmurs of discontent arose.

The so-called support was purely from the newcomers Luo Zitian had rallied.

The old employees present, who supported him?

“To all major shareholders, who among you is willing to transfer your shares to me? I will offer a price ten percent above market value for acquisition, further promising to return the shares to everyone at the original price later!” Luo Zitian said with grandeur.

Those who could transfer shares to him had already been communicated with.

Luo Zitian’s words were actually directed at the neutrals.

“I want to see how many shares you can get!”

Below, Zhengdong Province frowned and whispered, clenching his fist.

“I am willing to transfer ninety-nine percent of my personal shares to Mr. Luo!” Naturally, the one standing up was Mr. Liu, the new shareholder introduced by Luo Zitian, who was initially under his wing.

Luo Zitian smiled and nodded, pretending to say, “Then I thank Mr. Liu for his trust and support!”

Then another person stood up, “I am willing to transfer half of my shares to Mr. Luo Zitian!”

Following him was a third person, “I am willing to transfer eighty percent of my shares to Mr. Luo Zitian!”
