Chapter 623: Chapter 623

Kang Baojun realized in alarm and repeatedly affirmed it was so.

The Liu Family’s villa

Ever since the Changda’s share price took a rollercoaster ride on the stock exchange, Director Liu had become incredibly popular. There were countless people seeking Director Liu’s decisions, advice, and lifelines.

It seemed like everyone couldn’t survive without Director Liu. After all, who else in Changda had the ability to take control of the overall situation, other than Xiao Jianming? Director Liu’s reputation and abilities had always been competitive with those of Xiao Jianming.

In such circumstances, even if Director Liu had overstayed his welcome among the Xiao Family, initiating a shareholders’ meeting and a board of directors meeting to have others elect him to temporarily replace the sick Xiao Jianming and take over the throne of Changda to perform the duties would undoubtedly be problem-free.

However, Director Liu did not do so. Instead, he stayed away from the company and busied himself with gardening and bird breeding at his villa, as if he had nothing to do with the outside world.

He appeared to be an old man with clarity of heart and few desires, insisting that once he retired from Changda, he retired for good.

In the past, perhaps Chen Jiaming and others thought the same of Director Liu and even felt indignant for him—why should such a loyal servant of the Xiao Family, who had contributed significantly to their founding, meet with such an end?

Director Liu handed the newly purchased bird to his attendant and asked, "Has there been no call from Director Kang until now?"

When Kang Junjia left, he had specifically called Director Liu to inform him of his visit and obtain his consent.

It had been more than two hours since Kang Junjia made that call.

The sudden silence from the Kang family father and son was indeed strange.

Even if it was due to a traffic jam, they should have first given Director Liu a call out of respect and courtesy, since it was Kang Junjia who had sought his help. The sudden lack of explanations made people suspect that something unexpected had happened.

The Liu Family’s secretary shook his head and replied to Director Liu, "I wanted to call them to inquire, but without a director’s order, I did not dare."

If Director Liu’s people were to turn around and ask Kang Junjia why he hadn’t arrived on time, it would seem as if Director Liu was pleading with Kang Junjia instead.

The version definitely could not play out this way.

Whoever holds the dominant position could likely be the winner of this game, especially in business. After all, Kang Junjia, Kang Baojun, and Lin Jiale are just a bit too green. Although Kang Junjia’s age is not much different from his, when it comes to strategy and plotting, he certainly falls short—otherwise, he would not have been schemed against by foreigners and ended up obediently jumping into the trap that Director Liu had set for him.

In fact, just by looking at how Chen Jiaming figured out he had been used by Kang Junjia, it’s clear that Kang Junjia is even a bit lacking compared to Chen Jiaming.

Speaking of the Chen kid, since his father died, Chen Jiaming had also become a pawn at the company that various forces intended to use to make things difficult for Xiao Jianming.

Director Liu had to admit that this Chen kid had intelligence. Unfortunately, this intelligence was excessive and led to his own misguidance, and besides, young people are naturally impulsive and hotheaded.

Just look at Xiao Jianming, who also because of his impulsive son, is now suffering from an illness in the hospital, unable to get up.

Director Liu calculated for a moment and asked the secretary, "Has there been any call from Director Chen?"

"Director Chen seems to be busy with the new company he planned to start, as he mentioned to Director Liu last time. So busy, in fact, that he hasn’t had the time, not even to answer Miss’s calls," the secretary replied.
