"What negative news?"
"Shitong Electronics has cooperated with the Beautiful Country’s Jia Sheng Electronics, and the actual controlling shareholder of that company is Venus, the son of Kaijie Group’s rotating chairman Sinus!"
Chen Liangjiang’s assistant said:
"Right now, all these layers of connections have been dug out clearly online. I guess someone’s fanning the flames, investigating this matter. This will have a huge impact on us."
"How could this happen!"
Chen Liangjiang’s face turned extremely ugly, his heart pounding wildly.
Only now did he understand why his second uncle had blown up in rage.
These intertwined relationships would make others think that the Chen family had ties to the Kaijie Group.
Given the particular nature of Kaijie Group, if someone with an agenda really made use of this, the charge that followed might not be something the Chen family could bear.
"President Chen, what should we do now?"
"We’ll talk after we see Sun Shengyao."
Right now, Chen Liangjiang was burning with rage, veins bulging on his forehead, fury shooting straight to the top of his skull.
After about twenty minutes, the car arrived at Zhong Hai’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
After getting Chen Liangjiang’s call, Sun Shengyao had brought his son, Sun Kang, and was already waiting there.
"Dad, I’ve already talked with many people. Their view is that the Optical Lithography Factory plan is not just empty talk; it’s highly feasible. Some even think it could be officially put into production in less than three years. And we still haven’t joined the Technology Sharing Association. This will have a huge impact on us."
Sun Shengyao sat in the chair in silence.
The more glamorous he’d been a few days ago, the more wretched he looked now.
"President Chen will be here soon. After he arrives, we’ll see if he can think of another way."
"But the problem is, he also went to Lingyun Group’s press conference. That puts him on the opposite side too. Can he really come up with anything useful?"
"President Chen’s capabilities are stronger than we imagined, and he has a powerful background. He’ll definitely have a way to deal with this kind of situation. He will definitely help us." Sun Shengyao said firmly:
"Besides, our current position isn’t completely passive. Our cooperation with Jia Sheng Electronics still has to keep moving forward. This is our important counterattack tool, and we absolutely can’t give it up easily."
"Got it."
Bang bang bang!
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Sun Kang walked over to open it and saw that the person standing outside was Chen Liangjiang.
"President Chen, you’re here."
Seeing Chen Liangjiang, Sun Shengyao immediately went up to greet him.
Smack!
Without a word, Chen Liangjiang slapped Sun Shengyao across the face.
That slap left the Sun father and son both stunned.
Covering his face, Sun Shengyao stared at Chen Liangjiang like an idiot.
"President Chen, what are you doing?" Sun Kang couldn’t help saying:
"You didn’t expect them to bring out the Optical Lithography Factory plan either. You can’t pin that on us, right? Besides, we’ve also found a new partner. The R&D schedule will be greatly sped up. We’re not completely left behind; there’s still a big chance for us."
"You still fucking have the nerve to talk!"
Pointing at Sun Kang’s nose, Chen Liangjiang cursed:
"Why didn’t you tell me about your cooperation with Jia Sheng Electronics!"
The Sun father and son froze.
For them, this matter was still in the confidential stage. They wanted to treat it as a Secret Techniques-level trump card, to pull out at the final moment.
They hadn’t expected that Chen Liangjiang already knew.
"We wanted to use this news as the last straw to crush Lingyun Group, so we didn’t announce it publicly."
"This matter has already been exposed. Do you have any idea how serious the impact is!"
"Exposed?"
The Sun father and son were puzzled.
"It being exposed now is also a good thing. We can’t just let Lingyun Group hog all the limelight!"
"You two!"
Chen Liangjiang was so angry he was almost speechless.
They had no idea what kind of company Kaijie Group was, so they couldn’t grasp how serious the problem was.
"You good-for-nothing wreckers. I’ve decided to pull out my investment. From now on, you’re on your own!"
Throwing down those words, Chen Liangjiang flicked his sleeve and left, not giving the Sun father and son any chance to say more.
Back in the car, Chen Liangjiang collapsed into the seat, looking utterly exhausted.
Before this, he had never imagined something like this would happen.
