HCB Chapter 48 Becoming Chairman
Chapter 48 Becoming Chairman
At this moment, Chao Bufan did not show any surprise or astonishment. Instead, he frowned slightly and wondered to himself, "I haven't even warmed my seat as president yet, and now he wants me to be the boss? What does he mean by this?"
Suddenly, Chao Bufan chuckled inwardly. "So, they're trying to use the big boss's position to keep me tied down. Ha, what a bunch of old foxes. So what if it's the chairman? Why not take it? Turning down money is foolish; they'd be struck by lightning!" Heh...
When the meeting ended, everyone came up to greet Chao Bufan, and it was clear that they were all trying to curry favor with him.
"Chairman Chao, congratulations!" Tang Qianqian walked up to Chao Bufan and took the initiative to extend her hand to greet him.
"Forehead?"
Chao Bufan was visibly taken aback, thinking, "What's going on today? Did the sun rise in the west? The usually aloof and arrogant Miss Tang has actually taken the initiative to shake my hand, and she's even smiling... This..."
Chao Bufan suddenly shivered. Although he had been in contact with Tang Qianqian for 24 hours, this was the first time he had seen Tang Qianqian smile and greet him on her own initiative. He was not used to it for a moment. Her smile gave people a feeling that was colder than a cold-blooded killer, with a feeling that was like a tiger with a stern face and a knife hidden in a smile.
"Um... Miss Tang, what are you doing?"
Tang Qianqian smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations on becoming the chairman of the Tang Group!"
"Oh, thank you so much!"
"Alright, Qianqian, in a few days, Dad will be reporting to his post. You'll need to cooperate with Chairman Chao a lot in terms of work from now on," Tang Guoqiang instructed his daughter.
"Yes, I know," Tang Qianqian replied readily.
"Chairman Tang, since you're willing to relinquish your position to me, shouldn't you also..."
Chao Bufan isn't stupid. As the company's big boss, he can't just be a figurehead. If he doesn't have any shares in hand, what's the point of being the big boss? He's just an empty shell.
Tang Guoqiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, now that you are the chairman of the Tang Group, you will naturally have a share of the shares. Chao Bufan, now that I have entrusted the Tang Group to you, you must not let me down."
Chao Bufan nodded and smiled, saying, "Of course! Of course! You can rest assured about that."
"That's good. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask the managers or directors."
"I know how to do that."
"Alright, you can all go back to work! I should go too."
"Dad, take care!"
"Mr. Tang, take care! I won't see you off."
Chao Bufan returned to his office, where Mao Mao immediately greeted him with a smile: "Chairman!"
Chao Bufan smiled and asked smugly, "How about it? Aren't I cool now?"
Mao Mao nodded and said, "Yeah, that's cool. Chairman, you're really amazing!"
"That's right, how could you become the chairman of the Tang Group if you weren't capable!" Chao Bufan said smugly, with a completely smug look on his face, then laughed, "Alright, get back to work!"
"kindness."
"Wait, Mao Mao, go out and buy me something now." Chao Bufan suddenly called out to Mao Mao again.
"Oh, okay, Chairman, what would you like to buy?"
“I saw a limited edition extended LSL car online yesterday. Can you order one for me now? Here’s my bank card.”
"What? Chairman, you want me to help you buy a car?" Mao Mao was taken aback.
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
"No, no, it's just that I don't know how to buy it!"
"It's alright, just go to Qinhai Auto City, there's one there. I've already taken care of all the paperwork, you just need to pay the money and ask the staff there to bring the car to your company building. Remember, it's the extended limited edition one."
"Oh!"
Mao Mao arrived at Qinhai Auto City and asked the staff about the car Chao Bufan wanted. When she heard the price, she was immediately shocked: "My goodness, this car is so expensive! Tsk tsk, the chairman is really something else. If I were..." Her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly covered her face with her hands: "Um, what am I thinking!"
Following Chairman Chao's instructions, I completed all the formalities and then returned to the company.
After get off work, Chao Bufan drove his newly bought car back to the apartment. Lu Tie and the others had already returned to the apartment. The moment Chao Bufan opened the door, Lu Tie and the others immediately applauded. Chao Bufan was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he realized what was happening.
"Not bad, you're something else! I didn't realize you'd managed to get the chairmanship of the Tang Group." It's almost as if you've slept with Miss Tang too.
Big Mouth chimed in, "Bufan, so you mean your relationship with President Tang is special?"
Chao Bufan understood, shrugged and said casually, "There's nothing between me and Tang Qianqian. We didn't know each other before, we only met in the last few days."
Guan Gong exclaimed in surprise, "Really? How could Chairman Tang possibly step down and give you the chairman's position? Does he think you're the right son-in-law?"
"What son-in-law or not, we have nothing between us at all."
Xu Huaiyuan said, "How could that be? You two must have known each other before, and you must have been lovers. Otherwise, why would Chairman Tang give up the chairman's position to you?"
None of them believed Chao Bufan's words; everyone knew what the boss meant by doing this.
“You guys don’t understand, do you?” Chao Bufan chuckled. “He gave me the chairman’s position because he thinks I’m young and talented.”
"Alright, Bufan, stop making excuses. I saw it clearly in today's meeting. Miss Tang's gaze never left you for even a moment. Anyone can see what's going on."
Chao Bufan was slightly surprised and said, "Has she been watching me the whole time?"
Lü Tie laughed and said, "Don't tell us you didn't know."
Chao Bufan chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, alright then! To be honest, actually—Tang Qianqian likes me. She loves me wholeheartedly, to the point of obsession. It's precisely because I don't like her that Chairman Tang gave me the chairman's position. As for her motive," he raised an eyebrow and said, "you all understand now, don't you!"
Lu Tie cast an admiring glance at him and said, "Bufan, you're something else! You've become Chairman Tang's son-in-law, and you're now the head of the Tang Group. Shouldn't we celebrate?"
Chao Bufan was in high spirits and laughed, "A celebration is a must! Let's go for drinks, it's on me!"
Big Mouth snapped his fingers: "Guys, let's go!!"
As soon as they left the apartment, Lu Tie and the others were astonished to see Chao Bufan enter the driver's seat of a brand-new luxury car. Their eyes lit up with envy.
"Wow! Rich people are different, even their cars are unique. Tsk tsk, a long, limited edition LSL, my goodness!"
