Chapter 176: You Want to Rebel?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xie Wenkai had a meeting with the higher-ups of the company at ten o’clock. The smile on his face was less bright than usual, and he was more serious than before. Madam Xie only thought that Xie Wenkai had something on his mind and did not think too much about it, as long as nothing went wrong. In the end, just now, Xie Wenkai made a proposal that she could not accept at all! She did not want to directly oppose her son in the meeting. It would not be good for the influence, so she only gave Xie Wenkai a wink, hinting at him not to do so. However, Madam Xie never expected that Xie Wenkai would actually look directly into her eyes and repeat the proposal again. He was very firm when he did it too!
This made Madam Xie realize that perhaps Xie Wenkai had done it on purpose, and was coming for her. He did not want to be obedient anymore, and he wanted to rebel! There was one point worth mentioning. Madam Xie didn’t hold any management positions within the Six Blessings Corporation. She wasn’t a senior executive of the Six Blessings Corporation. She didn’t have any division of labor. She also didn’t own any shares in the Six Blessings Corporation. However, she still had one identity, and that was the special advisor to the chairman of the Six Blessings Corporation.
In fact, there was no difference between having this identity and not having it. It just made Madam Xie’s activities in the Six Blessings Corporation more reasonable and not so weird. For example, attending various meetings. Strictly speaking, she was an observer, she could make suggestions, but she did not have any voting rights. However, Madam Xie was the wife of the chairman! Most of the time, what she said would mean what the chairman said. Who would dare to object? A casual cough from her as an observer could change the direction of the meeting. However, Madam Xie mostly had a sense of propriety. She was only supervising and would not criticize. Moreover, she did not come to the company every day. The reason she came today was that Xie Guofu had taken a flight to the capital for a meeting and had not returned. Thus, in the past few days, Madam Xie had been coming to the company to work. She was helping Xie Guofu keep an eye on the internal affairs of the company. From the perspective of a good wife, Madam Xie was very qualified.
“You even want to hold a board meeting, Xie Wenkai. Are you trying to rebel?” Madam Xie was so angry that her fingers were shaking. This was because the more obedient a person was, the angrier she would be if he did not listen.
“I am the executive vice president of the company and a member of the Board of Directors. I have the right to hold a board meeting.” Xie Wenkai looked straight at Madam Xie. In fact, he was trying to force himself to speak, but he did not show any signs of weakness.
The meeting room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. This was just a regular meeting, so only twenty senior executives attended. If the assistants and secretaries who prepared the meeting notes and materials for them were included, there would be forty to fifty people in the meeting room! Everyone was shocked! Some people even had horrified expressions on their faces. What was going on? It had been a long time since they had seen the chairman’s wife lose her temper. This was because no one dared to openly argue with Madam Xie. The last time was six months ago. At the beginning of the year’s meeting, the two shareholders had argued with the chairman’s wife over a matter, but they had immediately persuaded her so she was not too angry. But this time, she was very angry! Madam Xie and Xie Wenkai were arguing!
Everyone was so scared that they didn’t dare to speak or persuade the two of them. Sitting across from Xie Wenkai was a fat middle-aged man in his fifties who looked like a Maitreya Buddha. When Jiang Tong saw the Xie family’s motorcade on the street for the first time and sent Xie Wenkai a text message, the one who was sitting in the car with Xie Wenkai was Cao Shaowei. He was the senior vice president and the head of the sales department of the Six Blessings Corporation. He was the fourth largest shareholder of the Six Blessings Corporation. He was also a senior vice president like Xie Wenkai, but Xie Wenkai was the executive vice president. He was the second most powerful person in the entire group, second only to the president in terms of actual management rights.
Xie Wenkai was going to take over Xie Guofu’s position in a few years, so although he was only in his twenties now, he had to sit in this position. Therefore, Cao Shaowei was currently not as powerful as Xie Wenkai in terms of power and authority. However, Xie Wenkai had only officially joined the Six Blessings Corporation five years ago. Cao Shaoyang was one of the founding elders who had started the business with Xie Guofu. He was Xie Guofu’s right-hand man. Moreover, he was the only founding elder in the Six Blessings Corporation who was still serving as the president of a core department. His prestige in the company was not something that Xie Wenkai could compare to.
Of course, Cao Shaowei was not afraid of the sudden conflict between Xie Wenkai and Madam Xie. He was first surprised, then puzzled, and then his expression turned very complex…
