The feared outcome had finally occurred.
Lin Mei's face instantly turned pale.
"Lu Feng, what do we do now! We can't just wait for this kid to send the letter of commitment to the Lin family!"
If the Lin family was a barrel of diesel, then this matter was a single spark.
Lu Feng, however, remained as calm as ever.
"Don't worry, this letter of commitment won't be sent out. Even if it is, it won't have any effect!"
"How is that possible?"
Lin Mei felt as if she were hearing a fairy tale, her face filled with disbelief.
The signature on the letter of commitment was clear, and even without it, the system could detect it. There was no room for denial.
Lu Feng raised his eyes to look at Lin Mei, about to speak.
The assistant beside him couldn't help but chuckle.
"Mr. Lu certainly has a unique way of thinking. I'd like to see how Mr. Lu prevents this letter of commitment from being sent out, and how he makes this written promise lose its validity!"
Lu Feng said nothing more. "Then you'll find out soon enough!"
Before Lu Feng could finish speaking, the assistant raised his eyebrows again, looking utterly smug. "Mr. Lu, I know what you're going to say. It's just that Lin Dong has authorized his shares to you, hasn't he? You're going to say that now you and Lin Dong hold the largest share in Taitung Group, so you have the right to make decisions for the board!"
After speaking, the assistant looked up at Lu Feng.
"However, this time, I've also made a backup plan. Now, even with your and Lin Dong's shares combined, it's not the largest. The largest is our Chairman Zhang Yun!"
To ensure he still had leverage against the Lin family after Ge Jun's downfall, the assistant had made arrangements in advance according to Ge Jun's instructions.
Three days before the Lin family arrived here, the assistant had already begun to aggressively dilute the Lin family's shares.
Now, several more days had quietly passed.
In the morning, when the assistant checked, the Lin family's shares had fallen back to 12%.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yun's shareholding had unknowingly risen to 33%.
Thirty-three percent in an enterprise of Taitung Group's scale already represented an absolute advantage.
"See, Lu Feng, this time, let's see what you have to compete with me!"
The assistant pressed the power button on the projector.
On the opposite wall, the latest share structure of Taitung Group was displayed.
Zhang Yun was clearly at the top.
And the Lin family, combined, ranked fourth at best.
"Now, Chairman Zhang has just taken office, and you should understand my position. Who do you think has the right to dispose of this letter of commitment!"
Lin Mei's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Lu Feng, this time, we've really messed up!"
Lin Mei looked at Lu Feng beside her.
Yet, to her surprise, even at this point, he remained as steady as a rock.
"Could it be that even now, there's still a turn of events? Is there any room for a comeback?"
Lin Mei's thoughts were quickly interrupted by the assistant's voice.
"Someone."
The female secretary waiting outside the door immediately pushed the door open.
"Take this and send it to the Lin family in the name of the board."
"Yes!"
After handling the matter, the assistant turned and swept a cold glance at Lu Feng. "Mr. Lu, it should only take about fifteen minutes for the Lin family to look at you differently!"
"You!" Lin Mei shot up from her seat.
"What? Miss Lin, are you planning to resort to force?" Seeing this, the assistant waved his hands.
The two people following behind him immediately stepped in front of him.
Although they were standing, they exuded an air of readiness to act.
"Miss Lin, I am well-prepared."
The assistant pointed at one of them. "Although these two are not as capable as Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu is a smart person and should know the consequences of taking action, right!"
Within the vast Taitung Group, there were many who harbored deep hatred for the Lin family.
Taking action would mean making enemies of a group numbering at least a hundred people.
It would undoubtedly be suicidal!
"I know, of course, I know. You've been waiting for this moment, haven't you?"
Lu Feng's voice was like a piercing beam of light, tearing through the surrounding silence.
Hearing Lu Feng's words, the assistant laughed even harder.
"That's right, Mr. Lu truly understands me. Mr. Lu, I'd say you shouldn't even go back to the Lin family. Considering you're quite talented, why don't you follow me!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mei's anger flared up.
"I'd rather follow a dog than follow you!"
Hearing such impolite insults, the two people standing beside the assistant were about to step forward.
To defend their master's honor.
However, seeing this, the assistant appeared remarkably magnanimous. "Wait."
After speaking, he turned to look at Lin Mei, his smile growing more pronounced.
"Miss Lin, you can curse all you want. Later, if you're kicked out by the Lin family, come to me. I'll definitely take you. Whether it's on the ground or in bed, I think I'll be happy."
In his arrogance, the assistant's inner filth and depravity were fully exposed.
This person was utterly shameless.
Even Zhang Dong, she hadn't so easily submitted to.
Lin Mei would rather die than be with this assistant.
"Go to hell!" Lin Mei didn't hold back.
Before she could finish speaking, there was a clang.
The secretary pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing the secretary, the assistant's lips curved, and his smugness intensified.
"Miss Lin, you're still feeling proud and arrogant now, unable to accept it. But it will be different later. After all, I am the number one figure in Taitung Group, aren't I?"
After speaking, the assistant glanced at the secretary.
"Is it done?"
The assistant waited for the secretary to announce the result.
But after a full five seconds, a profound silence fell over the surroundings.
"What is it?" Noticing the anomaly, the assistant quickly turned his head.
The secretary's voice was low as she handed the letter of commitment to the assistant.
"This is the letter of commitment!"
Seeing the intact letter of commitment, the assistant immediately understood. The letter of commitment seemed not to have been sent out.
And the reason for this must have been someone's obstruction.
"Who stopped it from being sent? Who dares to be so bold?"
The assistant glared at the secretary.
The secretary's voice remained low. "According to the board's procedures, for external matters, we need Mr. Lu's signature!"
"Mr. Lu? Which Mr. Lu?"
The assistant was full of questions.
He hadn't been in Taitung Group for a day or two, so how had he never heard of a Mr. Lu?
"I don't know about that. That's what was said from above. I'm just responsible for relaying the message!"
The secretary spoke truthfully.
"Give me the phone, connect the call."
The assistant's face was filled with rage.
Mr. Lu?
Hmph, was he even higher than him?
In just a few days, these people were all trying to rebel!
The secretary, sensing the assistant's anger, dared not show any defiance.
She immediately dialed the number and handed the phone over.
"Hello, Wang Dong!"
As soon as the assistant took the phone, he exploded.
"Yes, it's me!" Wang Dong, who was responsible for the daily operations of the board, immediately nodded.
"Why didn't you send what I asked someone to deliver just now? Are you planning to quit? Are you making up a Mr. Lu to fool me!"
The assistant's words were fierce.
However, Wang Dong on the other end of the line looked helpless, his voice filled with difficulty.
"I can't do anything about this matter. This is a previous routine regulation of the board. We can't bypass the regulations, can we?"
Upon hearing this, the assistant's voice grew louder.
It was less like speaking and more like shouting.
"Fine, alright, as you say. Then you must tell me, who exactly is this Mr. Lu!"
Stumped by the question.
Wang Dong's head began to ache.
"This, this..."
Wang Dong immediately logged into the system to check the information. After a brief pause, he quickly straightened his tongue.
"This person's name is Lu Feng!"
"What? Lu Feng."
The assistant's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Which Lu Feng?" he asked hurriedly.
"Feng, as in the peak of a mountain. It seems to be from the Lin family."
Wang Dong said, and for a moment, he himself became uncertain.
When did the major shareholder of the board become from the Lin family?
Shouldn't it be Chairman Zhang Yun?
Wang Dong quickly glanced at the screen again. Nothing was wrong.
And his voice, at that moment, was like a thunderclap, directly exploding in the assistant's mind.
"How is that possible?"
He knew exactly what percentage Lu Feng held now.
Wang Dong was also unwilling to believe it, but the reality was indeed so.
"How is it? Can't send it out, right!"
Lu Feng slowly stepped forward from behind, his voice low.
"Can't send it out? Hmph, hmph. Lu Feng, I'm telling you today, with me here, this thing will definitely be sent out."
Although the assistant's mind was in turmoil, the moment his gaze fell on Lu Feng, he regained a surge of defiance.
