Chapter 275 275. Deserted Annual Meeting
Three days before New Year's Eve, it is the day of Huayi Annual Meeting.
The reason for arranging such a day is not only to give employees a benefit before the New Year, but also not to make the time too tight. The New Year will be celebrated just after the annual meeting, and there will be two days of excessive freedom in between. Time is enough for employees to buy things they need for the New Year.
On this day, Wang Zhonglei came to the company early and sat in the office with a relaxed expression with a hint of joy, which was very different from the frowning and heavy expression he had been wearing recently.
Most of this good mood stems from the successful signing of the contract with Nie Wei.
It seems that he has paid part of the shares and interests, but for Wang Zhonglei, the impact behind Nie Wei's success in subscribing shares is more significant.
Nie Wei's contract has not been signed for a long time, which was originally a worry for him. However, after Nie Wei subscribed for the shares, Wang Zhonglei's worry was basically cured. Although the contract with Nie Weixin has not been signed yet, Wang Zhonglei's inner burden has increased. It’s already a lot less. After all, the shares have been subscribed. Is it inappropriate to still negotiate the contract?
And in Wang Zhonglei's mind, this is just the beginning. Next, Wang Zhonglei is prepared to tie the several first-line artists who are the pillars of the company to Huayi's chariot in this way. By then, as long as he completes this matter Son, then if Wang Jinghua wants to cause trouble again, it will obviously not be so easy.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei, who was in a very happy mood, couldn't help but laugh out loud, his expression full of contentment.
However, this good mood did not last long. After his secretary knocked on the door and walked in to report something, his mood began to gradually become gloomy.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen Daoming asked for leave, saying that he would not participate in this annual meeting due to physical reasons."
"Okay, I understand. Tell him to take care of himself. I will visit him after the annual meeting." After hearing the news, Wang Zhonglei frowned. Although he was a little regretful, after all, Chen Daoming was also his main target, but Since the other party is not in good health, it is not easy to force him to come.
But less than ten minutes later, the secretary knocked on the door again.
"Please come in."
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Hu also came to ask for leave. He said he was going to attend a business event in the morning. He is on his way back now, but there is a traffic jam. I don't know if he can make it to the annual meeting."
"Commercial activities? Didn't you inform the company's agents earlier not to arrange commercial activities for artists in the next week?" Wang Zhonglei asked angrily.
"I have questioned it too." The secretary replied a little aggrievedly: "But Hu Jun's agent said that this event was agreed a month ago, and the event was in the morning. They calculated that it would not delay the annual meeting in the afternoon, but I didn’t expect an accident to happen on the road.”
"This... I understand. You go and reply. It doesn't matter if you are late, as long as the person arrives." Wang Zhonglei's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, but he still asked the secretary to reply very rationally.
As the secretary left, the smile on Wang Zhonglei's face gradually faded, and he frowned and thought deeply. The two things about Chen Daoming and Hu Jun alone would not make him suspicious. After all, life is unpredictable. The difficulty is not impossible, but the two of them queued up to ask for leave ten minutes apart. Although the reasons seemed reasonable, it seemed a bit awkward when they were put together.
Although he had a bad feeling in his heart, Wang Zhonglei still comforted himself that it was just a coincidence.
But when the secretary knocked on the door of Wang Zhonglei's office for the third time and reported that Liu Jialing could not come to Hong Kong to attend the annual meeting because she missed the plane, Wang Zhonglei's face still turned gloomy.
At this time, no matter how much he tried to comfort himself, he could not deceive himself. This group of people had obviously agreed to make him look bad.
Sure enough, in the next hour, several artists asked for leave one after another, including Liang Jiahui, Xia Yu, etc. Until half an hour before the opening of the annual meeting, there were more than a dozen people asking for leave, all of whom were very important artists in the company. , and these artists, without exception, were all brought up by Wang Jinghua single-handedly.
By this time, Wang Zhonglei already knew in his heart that this was a slap in the face planned by Wang Jinghua. It must be said that it was very successful. At least Wang Zhonglei felt hot on his face now.
At the same time, in a high-end private room of a five-star hotel, all the celebrities who had asked for leave from the company were gathered here now. Everyone was eating, drinking, having fun, talking and laughing, and there was no need for the constant troubles and difficulties mentioned in their reasons for asking for leave. look.
"Sister Hua, would it be bad if Mr. Wang found out that we went to a restaurant to eat in such a big way?" During the banquet, someone suddenly asked Wang Jinghua.
"Hmph, I just want him to know, otherwise why would I call you all here." Wang Jinghua snorted disdainfully and replied: "And I also specifically called the reporter, and there will be information about our dinner party in the newspaper tomorrow. news."
"Uh, Sister Hua, is there any benefit to doing this? What if Wang Zhonglei notices our thoughts?" Someone asked worriedly.
Speaking of this, Wang Jinghua smiled very proudly, and then explained: "You are wrong. The more we go against him, the less he can guess our true thoughts. He will only think that I am deliberately embarrassing him. If he wants to compete for a bigger say in the company, he will only be kept in the dark by us more and more. When our company is established, he will be truly dumbfounded. Otherwise, you will think that Sister Hua has nothing to eat and survive. , Do you have to tease Wang Zhonglei? "
"Haha, Sister Hua's move is brilliant, I toast you a glass!"
"Yes, following Sister Hua will give you meat."
"Sister Hua, I toast you a glass too."
Wang Jinghua's move was indeed very brilliant. At least Wang Zhonglei really thought that Wang Jinghua was competing with him for the company's right to speak, and he never thought that Wang Jinghua's heart was no longer in Huayi.
When Wang Zhonglei arrived at the annual meeting, he saw that there were only five people sitting in the first row of more than 20 seats arranged for the company's heavyweight stars, and the rest were empty. It felt quite desolate, which made Wang Zhonglei's anger even stronger.
After all, the company had such good results last year, but the annual meeting at the end of the year was held as if it was going to be disbanded. How could Wang Zhonglei swallow this breath?
However, he also knew that it would be difficult to get back on his feet today, and the angrier he was at this moment, the more he would be laughed at by Wang Jinghua, so Wang Zhonglei forced himself to suppress his anger, put on a seemingly warm smile, and enthusiastically greeted several people in the first row.
Wang Zhonglei even encouraged several second- and third-tier artists in the back row, which moved these little stars enough. Some of them even thought that they had been discovered and favored by the company's boss.
After walking around, Wang Zhonglei became more and more angry. After returning to his office, Wang Zhonglei's fake smile could no longer be held back, and his face immediately became long and full of anger.
"By the way, where is Nie Wei? Why didn't I see him at the annual meeting just now?" Wang Zhonglei suddenly asked the secretary beside him.
The secretary was frightened by the boss's gloomy aura, and Wang Zhonglei's sudden question scared her even more. Fortunately, her professional ethics were still there. She shivered slightly and quickly reported: "Boss, when you were chatting with the people below just now, Nie Wei's agent Luo Kai called..."
"He also wants to take a leave!?" When Wang Zhonglei heard this, the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance. Fortunately, the secretary's next words made him know that everything was a misunderstanding.
"No, no, he didn't want to take a leave, but there was a traffic jam on the road. He might be late for a while, but not more than half an hour." The secretary said quickly.
These words made Wang Zhonglei's anger subside a little, and he also knew that today's incident made him lose his mind a little. He sighed and waved his hand to signal the secretary to leave.
The secretary closed the door of Wang Zhonglei's office and breathed a sigh of relief. As Wang's secretary, she understood Wang Zhonglei's temper. It seemed that Wang was really angry today. On ordinary days, Wang would never be like this today. He made a rash conclusion before he finished listening to the words. Obviously, his anger had made him lose his patience.
However, no matter how angry he was, no matter how quiet the scene was, the annual meeting had to be held as usual.
However, the atmosphere was obviously not so wonderful. This was why the venue was solemn when Nie Wei arrived at the scene. After all, the boss had a fierce face, and who dared to laugh heartlessly in the audience.
Nie Wei quickly found his seat, in the first row, next to Li Binbin. When the sister saw Nie Wei coming, she smiled and waved.
"Sister, what's the situation?" Nie Wei asked quietly.
"Don't ask too much, just stay honest, it's better not to know these things." Li Binbin replied, although the tone was indifferent, but it revealed the meaning of care and protection.
Nie Wei is not stupid, of course he knows that Li Binbin's words are well-intentioned, but this sister obviously doesn't know that Nie Wei has already guessed the twists and turns here.
Nie Wei smiled and acted cute to Li Binbin, which made the sister laugh.
At this time, it was Wang Zhonglei's turn to speak on the stage. With the host's introduction, he was seen walking out from the side door of the auditorium front desk, his eyes swept the audience, and when he saw Nie Wei, he paused for a moment, and Nie Wei smiled at him at the right time.
This kid, Nie Wei's smile actually dispelled a lot of gloom in Wang Zhonglei's heart. At least at this moment, he is not alone, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei, who started from scratch and built the company from tens of thousands to nearly 100 million market value, quickly cheered up and announced the start of the annual meeting.
