Time's Up. You Can Die Now
Ye Tian took the seat at the head of the table without hesitation and gave Minister Zhang an order.
Minister Zhang frowned and said with some hesitation,
"Mr. Ye, I'm afraid that wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
"Although you founded the company, it's in President Wang's name now."
"President Wang hasn't returned yet. Shouldn't we..."
Before Minister Zhang could finish, Ye Tian turned a cold gaze on him.
"Just send out the notice."
"Don't worry about anything else."
Minister Zhang looked worried. Finally, he mustered his courage and said awkwardly,
"Mr. Ye, although I'm very glad to have you back,"
"if you want to take control of the company again, there are still some procedures you need to follow."
"If I send out this notice, I'm afraid I'll lose my job when President Wang gets back."
When Ye Tian heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Wang Ting isn't coming back."
"Go on, do as I say, and I'll guarantee you a bright future!"
Minister Zhang froze, his face full of confusion.
He didn't know what Ye Tian meant when he said Wang Ting wasn't coming back.
But seeing how resolute Ye Tian was, he could only sigh inwardly.
Forget it. I'll do as Mr. Ye says.
At worst, I'll just find another company. I'm not happy at this job anyway.
With that thought, Minister Zhang went out to notify everyone about the meeting.
Before long, the company's senior executives began arriving in the conference room.
They were wondering why a meeting had suddenly been called when Wang Ting should have been at the hotel for her wedding.
But when they saw Ye Tian sitting at the head of the table, his face cold, they were all stunned.
"Ye Tian?"
"How could it be him?"
The executives stared, dumbstruck and completely at a loss.
"Ye Tian, you're not dead?"
"But even if you're not, that seat doesn't belong to you anymore."
"Get up and get out."
Xue Tao, the company's vice president, pointed at Ye Tian and spoke with an air of lofty authority.
After Wang Ting took over the company, she had no idea how to run or manage it.
The company's real power had long since fallen into Xue Tao's hands.
It could be said that Xue Tao's word was law at the company.
As soon as Xue Tao spoke, some of the executives immediately joined in scolding Ye Tian.
The executives who had been promoted during the two years Ye Tian had been gone were especially arrogant and overbearing.
They paid no regard whatsoever to Ye Tian, the former chairman.
Only a few longtime employees lowered their heads helplessly, their expressions conflicted.
So what if Ye Tian had returned? The company had changed hands, and no one would take him seriously anymore.
Xue Tao could cover the sky with one hand at the company, so how could he possibly let Ye Tian come back and take the power from his hands?
Ye Tian sat there without so much as glancing at Xue Tao and said indifferently,
"Kneel down and apologize to me."
"For the sake of our past ties, I can spare your life."
Xue Tao burst out laughing and said contemptuously,
"Kneel down and apologize to you?"
"Pah!"
"Ye Tian, do you still think you're the company's chairman?"
"I'll give you ten seconds." Ye Tian kept his head lowered, his tone turning cold.
"Hahaha, everyone, look at this kid putting on airs."
"Oh, I just noticed. What kind of bizarre outfit is that? Are you a beggar?"
"Come on, Ye Tian, you were the company's chairman once. How did you end up looking like this?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm embarrassed for you."
"You have three seconds left." Killing intent had already flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
Oblivious that his time was up, Xue Tao continued to curl his lip in disdain and said mockingly,
"Stop fucking pretending, I—"
Before Xue Tao could finish, Ye Tian suddenly rose to his feet.
The others saw only a blur, and Ye Tian was already standing in front of Xue Tao.
"Time's up!"
"You can die now!"
