Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 323
Chapter 323 Banquet
It was a luxurious lineup. A simple dinner party actually invited a famous actress. This caused the shareholders present to be extremely surprised. Several directors over half a century old already had wives and children in their homes, but when they saw the stars, they couldn’t help but be slightly shocked.
“Inviting everyone to this dinner today is not what everyone thought. I just feel that it has been a long time since I relaxed properly. Of course, there are also some company matters that I would like to ask you about, but these are not the main points.”
The harsh president who hadn’t spoken much all this time suddenly said those words, and he couldn’t help but attract everyone’s attention. It must be something big.
However, he didn’t say it at the board meeting but went to a hotel to discuss it. He didn’t know where he would say it.
A front-line actress who often acted as an advertiser in movies and TV shows was overdressed. This made everyone suspect Manager Tang’s real intention of inviting them over. She said that she was trying to bribe people, but it was not like that. Why should she put down the project that the company was discussing with the other companies and specifically ask them to get together here? This made people have to speculate on his intentions behind their backs.
Evidently, Tang Jin Chen did not intend to give them any extra time to think about this issue. The female stars were even more eye-catching before the men. Before the senior officials came, he had already told his assistant that he had specifically mentioned the lives of the female stars.
All of them dressed up beautifully and wore sexy cheongsam costumes, adding an exotic flavor to the dining table. Soon, all of the bird’s nest abalone and other things came up. They even opened a few bottles of 82-year-old Lafite, which confused everyone. Several high-ranking officials who rarely appeared in the company asked directly.
“Just tell us what Manager Tang has to do. It makes us feel uncomfortable.”
Tang Jin Chen gently raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with arrogance. “Haha, this is just the same party as usual. Looking at everyone’s uncomfortable appearances, I’m really in a bit of a dilemma. I don’t know how to open the door. I’m sure everyone has heard about the company’s acquisition of Lee Corporation.”
“I heard. I just thought it was a tide coming from the cavern. Only after you said that did I confirm that there really was something going on.”
“I’ve heard of the merger between Lee Corporation and our company, but it can’t be that you invited us here.”
Of course, there was no lack of people who wanted to chase after Tang Jin Chen and keep flattering him. “As long as it’s something you decide, Manager Tang, then I will definitely support you 100%.”
“That’s right. You always do things with reason. Since you’ve decided, I’ll vote for you.”
…
The actresses present poured wine for everyone. Tang Jin Cen had spent a lot of money to invite them over. There was no need to do anything else. He just sat there and rushed to the front. This businessman and the people in the entertainment industry all had a common specialty, that was, they had to have a high EQ.
“Since everyone is invited, I want to discuss it with everyone.” Tang Jin Chen briefly introduced the beginning and end of some things as well as some of his own thoughts. In fact, these were just a process. How could these executives not know about the company’s affairs? It was just that some people pretended not to know. Even the cleaners were talking about things that they must know clearly.
“Come, come, let me propose a toast to everyone. I hope that everyone can continue to contribute more to the company in the future. Let me first toast to this cup of wine.” Tang Jin Chen took a cup of Lafite and still had a calm expression on his face. No one could guess his true intentions for this invitation. He said that he was discussing with everyone, but it was as if he was testing something.
His gaze constantly lingered on everyone’s faces, trying to discern any suspicious expressions on their faces, but so what if he saw them?
After a long time, the anger on the scene almost fell below the freezing point. Chairman Tang really couldn’t bear to watch anymore. He pointed at the female celebrity in purple cheongsam and said, “You can sing, right? Give us a song.”
Normally, everyone would have already thrown themselves into the arms of these wealthy and noble officials. However, before they came, Tang Jin Chen had specifically instructed that no one should overstep them. Otherwise, they could only publicize this matter. Compared to the expensive invitation fee, their arrival was just a simple adjustment.
The actress’s face was somewhat shy. She wanted to show off her beauty on the screen, but she was wearing a revealing cheongsam dress. Her speech was extremely coquettish. She immediately lit up her throat and sang the most popular songs of the day.
“I can’t eat, I can’t touch, I can only watch from afar.” One of the directors whispered. Although his voice was very small, it was still heard by Tang Jin Chen. Tang Jin Chen smiled and said, “Everyone has wives and children. I can’t write bad things behind my sister-in-law’s back, hehe.” Tang Jin Chen suddenly thought of the woman from his family. If that woman knew that she was eating here with a few female celebrities, she would not be jealous. She thought that the corner of her mouth would involuntarily rise.
“Naturally, I will not treat you unfairly in the future.” Tang Jin Chen glanced at the expressions of every shareholder on the scene. There were pleasantly surprised, dim, and indiscernible expressions.
One of them drank a few more drinks and said with his gall, “What’s the point of Manager Tang doing this? Could it be that it really has something to do with Li Qing of Lee Corporation, as everyone said?”
Li Qing? Tang Jin Chen didn’t want to explain too much about what these children didn’t need. He just shook his head and said, “Everyone knows what kind of person I am.” A man who is willing to work hard for his career doesn’t care about a few women halfway. For a man, career is far more valuable than love.
‘”Aiya, Manager Tang knows what’s right. I’m sure no one will randomly guess. Anyway, I support Manager Tang. I’ve already seen that Lee Corporation is not pleasing to the eye. I didn’t know how to think about crushing us because of their company. Now that our company is developing better and better, I really deserve to be taken over. No matter what, I support Manager Tang.”
Although he knew that this was not what he was thinking, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart when he saw someone standing on this side. Very good. As long as there were more people who opposed Lee Corporation, it would be more beneficial to gather people’s hearts in the future. After all, there was still a small portion who opposed the acquisition of Lee Corporation. As long as he took advantage of this situation to deal with these people, it would be much easier for him to sit on the board of directors.
‘”Even so, thinking about how Lee Corporation helped us in our difficult times and how we shouldn’t make things difficult for their company, I don’t think it’s easy to buy Lee Corporation just because of that. What do you think?” Of course, the one who spoke was naturally Chairman Tang, and Chairman Tang was naturally thinking of buying Lee Corporation over and over again. Although he pleaded for them in front of Tang Jin Chen, he couldn’t help but emphasize it again.
“Very good.” Tang Jin Chen smiled and said, “Chairman Tang, although you have said so much, it has been so long since they helped us. No one can say anything in the future. If we don’t seize the advantage and seize the opportunity now, we will definitely regret it in the future.”
It was another word of regret. At that time, Chairman Tang said that he regretted it. Now that Tang Jin Chen was going to buy Lee Corporation even if he was beaten to death, a portion of the people were quickly drunk. Several of the older directors even took advantage of the alcohol to make a move on the actress wearing cheongsam.
‘”Sure enough, it looks much better than on TV. Ah, it’s really a sign. Our Manager Tang is really powerful. Star models catch a lot of them. They’re not like us, who only have a yellow-faced woman who washes and cooks at home at our age.” After saying that, they couldn’t help but laugh. Only when they were drunk would everyone be more open-minded.
Seeing this, Tang Jin Chen could only instruct his assistant to bring a few celebrities out. Since he had promised them at that time that he would only come here to suppress the situation, then he had to follow the original agreement.
Tang Jin Chen immediately sent the female star car back, leaving only a few drunkards shouting in the hotel. Through this dinner, Tang Jin Chen roughly counted the connections this time. The main problem with the company was not that people did not agree, but that some of the directors directly turned their elbows outwards, which made Tang Jin Chen not know how to deal with it.
“President, we’ve already sent them back. May I ask how the directors of the hotel will arrange for them?” A few of the directors were already unconscious. Fortunately, Tang Jin Chen was not bad at drinking. He was even the legendary type who wouldn’t get drunk even if he drank a thousand glasses. But sometimes, he thought of a woman who was so opposed to him drinking, so he didn’t drink too much this time.
“Arrange a room in the hotel for them to sleep. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it when they wake up.”
“By the way, Chairman Tang seemed to have something else to talk to you about just now.”
Him again? Seeing that Chairman Tang was pleading earnestly for Lee Corporation, he had originally intended to stop tangling with Chairman Tang’s actions in the past, but his repeated pleas had made Tang Jin Chen endure and endure for a while before finally planning to spread the matter out.
“If you want to protect Lee Corporation, you can either leave voluntarily or find a way for me to leave voluntarily.”
“Manager Tang, that’s good. Since you said so, I can only let it go.” He said that, but Tang Jin Chen still saw Chairman Tang’s unwillingness to admit defeat.
In fact, sometimes, peace was not the most important thing. Just like the current situation, if he did not take the initiative to buy Lee Corporation, one day he would be bought by Lee Corporation.
These past few days, Tang Jin Chen had been busy with this matter, completely ignoring all the trivial matters at home. When a man put all his energy into his career, no matter how he looked at it, it was charming.
The next day, a reporter who specialized in financial magazines came to interview him. Tang Jin Chen wore a handsome suit and appeared on the motherboard magazine. The magazine’s sales in that period quadrupled.
‘”Manager Tang, why are you doing this?” The assistant asked, puzzled. Many magazines had been mercilessly rejected before, including many top fashion magazines and financial magazines.
“Can’t we play?” Tang Jin Chen gave him an ice-cold gaze. “There are some things that you just do as you are told, and don’t need to do anything.”
