Gu Sheng sat right at the head of the conference table, his feet propped on it.
Once everyone had finished reading the contracts and the certification from the financial regulator, he said, "I'm restructuring the board, and I'll be chairman. Any objections?"
Everyone exchanged glances. Who dared object?
Besides, they had all expected this. It was no surprise at all.
"No objections here. Hong Kee needs someone strong to take charge now, and no one is better suited than Mr. Gu," someone immediately said.
"Exactly. It's time this chaos ended. I certainly have no objections to Mr. Gu becoming board chairman!"
"No objections. With Mr. Gu leading us, I can rest easy."
Everyone immediately chimed in.
Seeing how sensible they all were, Gu Sheng's smile grew brighter and brighter.
That was one benefit of making a name for yourself.
If you were vicious enough, ruthless enough, everyone feared you, and getting things done became much less troublesome.
It saved you from having clueless fools keep popping up.
How could anyone else restructure a board so easily? Someone would certainly fight for their interests.
But with Gu Sheng, who dared stick their neck out and say no?
After all, life mattered more than money.
"Do you know what matters most in the underworld?" Gu Sheng suddenly asked with a smile.
"Following the right boss! Pick the right boss, and you rise straight to the top. Pick the wrong one, and you end up dead in the street."
"You're not in the underworld, but the principle is the same! Follow me from now on, do your jobs properly, and don't try anything funny, and I guarantee every one of you will stay healthy, free of illness and disaster!"
"You're absolutely right, Mr. Gu!" Unsure how to respond, everyone forced smiles and nodded.
