Chapter 234 - Forced to Resign!

Guanghan Investment.

One of the top three investment companies in Qinzhou.

Its chairman, Xu Tian, was regarded as a king within the industry.

However, few people knew that behind Guanghan Investment stood the Zhao Family.

Since yesterday, Guanghan Investment had suddenly come under sniper fire on the stock market, suffering heavy losses within just one day.

And this morning, over a dozen companies under Guanghan Investment also suffered heavy blows, with stock prices plummeting off a cliff.

Xu Tian might have been the chairman of Guanghan Investment, but there were other shareholders in the company.

Their interests were harmed, and they challenged Xu Tian at the first opportunity.

Bang!

Xu Tian’s office door was kicked open.

Immediately after, a large group of people surged into Xu Tian’s office.

Xu Tian’s secretary tried to stop them but was directly knocked to the ground.

Xu Tian’s expression faltered as he looked at the two people in the lead,

“Xu Zhi, Tian Hong, what are you trying to do?”

Xu Zhi and Tian Hong, were in fact the second and third largest shareholders of Guanghan Investment.

Xu Zhi looked at Xu Tian with a sneer.

“Chairman Xu, with the company’s stock market plummeting so miserably, we’ve all suffered tremendous losses.

Don’t you think you owe us an explanation?”

A flash of confusion swept through the depths of Xu Tian’s eyes.

What madness had overtaken Xu Zhi and Tian Hong?

“The situation the company is facing this time isn’t simple, someone is targeting us, and I’m investigating it.

There won’t be any major issues in the short term, so there’s no need to panic.

Everyone go back to your duties.”

Tian Hong snorted with derision.

“Xu Tian, you really think you’re the boss here.

Don’t forget your place; you’re nothing but a dog raised by the Zhao family.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian’s complexion turned on a dime.

Had Xu Zhi and Tian Hong lost their minds?

All three of them were in service of the Zhao family.

Why would Tian Hong speak in such a tone?

Narrowing his eyes, Xu Tian replied coldly.

“Tian Hong, do you realize what you’re saying?”

Xu Zhi scoffed.

“Xu Tian, stop playing dumb, it won’t help you.

“With the company’s stock market hit, we shareholders unanimously believe that either your capabilities are lacking or you’ve been using the company for some unsavory dealings.”

“Now, there’s only one path left for you, and that’s resignation.”

“This…also represents the will of the Zhao family.”

The will of the Zhao Family?

Xu Tian’s face turned utterly grim.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao Family had sent Xu Zhi and Tian Hong to force his resignation.

It seemed the Zhao Family still didn’t trust him enough to maintain his position.

Everything Xu Tian had was given by the Zhao Family, and if they wished to take it away, it was only fair.

Yet, Xu Tian felt a sense of unwillingness.

Because he had not yet figured out what exactly had gone wrong with Guanghan Investment this time.

However, he slowly closed his eyes.

Sighing inwardly.

So be it.

“I resign…”

But before he could finish speaking, a voice interrupted.

“Chairman Xu, why resign when everything was going fine?”

Hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads in unison to look, only to see a young man striding in.

As he passed, it seemed as though an invisible wall of force parted the crowd before him.

“Zhou…

Mr.

Zhou!” Xu Tian said in astonishment.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Yu to appear at this critical juncture.

Xu Tian was very aware of the relationship between Zhou Yu and the Zhao family.

Zhou Yu’s presence at this time clearly had something to do with the Zhao family.

Could it be that Elder Zhao had sent him to supervise?

Not only Xu Zhi and Tian Hong but Zhou Yu as well?

How much distrust did the Zhao family have in him?

Xu Tian said despondently:

“Mr.

Zhou, I… I am incompetent; the recent stock market turmoil has caused great losses for the company.

I have already offered my resignation, please convey…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Zhou Yu cut him off.

“Offered your resignation?”

“Whose idea was that?”

“Mine?

What about it?

You have a problem with that?” Xu Zhi said arrogantly.

Zhou Yu turned to look at Xu Zhi and, upon catching his eyes, a flash of surprise crossed his own.

At that moment, Xu Zhi realized something and barked.

“Right, who the hell are you?

Who let you in?”

Zhou Yu stepped forward, approaching Xu Zhi, and asked with a smile,

“What did you say?”

Xu Zhi shouted angrily:

“I said you goddamn…”

Smack!

Before Xu Zhi could finish, Zhou Yu had already slapped him across the face.

Caught off guard, Xu Zhi was sent flying and crashed heavily onto a nearby table, crying out in agony.

Tian Hong and the others never expected this seemingly unremarkable young man to dare to make a move, let alone such a fierce one.

Tian Hong shouted angrily:

“Who are you?

How dare you strike someone?”

“Oh?

There’s another one!” Zhou Yu’s gaze instantly locked onto Tian Hong.

Tian Hong took a big startle.

Instinctively, he stepped back two paces.

But Zhou Yu caught up and swung another slap.

Smack!

Tian Hong also screamed, flying backwards.

This stunned the remaining minor shareholders, turning them pale as they hastily retreated and fled the scene en masse.

Xu Tian was also shaken by Zhou Yu’s actions.

He didn’t understand what Zhou Yu was intending.

Weren’t Xu Zhi and Tian Hong supposed to convey Elder Zhao’s will?

Why then was Zhou Yu attacking them?

“Mr.

Zhou, what is the meaning of this?”

Zhou Yu didn’t answer Xu Tian but instead looked toward Xu Zhi and Tian Hong.

“Now, do you understand?”
