Chapter 462 Don’t you want to get me drunk?
At that moment, Zhang Yonghao almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Even if Chen Yan said it a thousand times, the reason why he came to force the emperor to abdicate was not because of Zhao Jie's incident. But everyone knew that Chen Yan did it because of this incident.
Therefore, Zhang Yonghao took the initiative to go to the Operations Department this morning to discuss how to deal with this matter.
After discussing for a whole morning and getting a good result, he came to Chen Yan with satisfaction.
I feel that Chen Yan will definitely praise me for doing a good job.
As a result... he never expected that Chen Yan would actually refuse? Moreover, he asked to continue to suppress the matter.
For a moment, he suspected that there was something wrong with Chen Yan's brain.
But Chen Yan glanced at Zhang Yonghao.
Of course he had his own reasons for doing this.
Moreover, he was not trying to "keep his word", but he really thought that now... the whole network suppressing Zhao Jie might be more beneficial to him.
The reason started a few days ago...
…
A few days ago, after being furious at Zhang Yonghao's betrayal, Chen Yan immediately planned to go to Tiandu the next day to force Zhang Yonghao to abdicate.
After making the plan, Chen Yan was too angry, so he did not go back to his home, but went to Yu Qiaoqiao's home.
It was the weekend, so Yu Qiaoqiao was cleaning the house: she now lives in the dormitory most of the time, but every weekend, she would go back home to keep the house clean.
In addition to her, Zhao Ying, who had been eating and drinking for free, was also there.
While eating, Yu Qiaoqiao keenly noticed that Chen Yan was in a bad mood, so she asked Chen Yan softly.
Facing two of his own people, Chen Yan did not hide anything and told them everything Zhao Qingtian had done.
After listening to Chen Yan, Yu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Ying were very angry. Zhao Qingtian was really so powerful that he could do whatever he wanted just because he had money.
This is the difference between girls and boys. If Chen Yan tells this story to a boy, he will probably get some good advice.
Because boys are rational.
As for the girls, they would follow Chen Yan in scolding that person and vent .
Because girls are emotional.
Originally, the matter would have ended here. Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao would have a good sleep, and the next day they would go to find trouble with Zhang Yonghao, and then force several softwares under Toutiao Technology to promote Zhao Qingtian.
As a result, when he finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed, he was dragged to his room by Zhao Ying.
Chen Yan was also confused when he was suddenly dragged into the room by Zhao Ying.
He still remembered Zhao Ying's favorability, which had not reached the point where he could be "overthrown".
Afterwards... he realized that he had overthought.
It turned out that Zhao Ying called him into the room purely because she wanted to comfort Chen Yan in her own way.
She told Chen Yan not to lose heart and not to be discouraged. After she graduated next year, she would start a media company and specialize in writing about things that could not be broadcast.
If Chen Yan has something he wants to expose, he can tell her and let her expose it.
Other media may be bought by capital, but she definitely won’t!
She firmly believes that the media is free and cannot be controlled by capital!
Because once capital can control the media, people will no longer have the right to speak out!
Born with closed mouth, work with closed mouth, die with closed mouth.
All they can hear is what capital wants them to hear.
They wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it.
They may even mistakenly believe that they are the only special ones in the world.
This is a very scary thing.
Even the country will no longer be a country.
If capital manipulates the media to spread all kinds of negative news about the country, what should the country do?
So, she aspires to be a free gossip (crossed out) media person!
Don’t be controlled by capital, don’t be swayed by money!
Chen Yan was not moved at all after hearing what Zhao Ying said.
However, Zhao Ying's words gave him a great inspiration.
That is... since he felt that Zhao Qingtian's behavior was too cruel and horrible, wouldn't other people feel the same way?
Wouldn’t the country have such concerns?
When a company’s capital becomes big enough to control the mouths of all media, what will it do if it wants to target the country in the future?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly felt that it made sense.
So after he left the room, he called his most trusted subordinate, Yang Rou, and shared his views with her.
After listening quietly, Yang Rou felt that Chen Yan's idea made a lot of sense.
Even they think this method is terrible, so who knows how many people are worried about this matter behind the scenes.
Therefore, during the two days of forcing Zhang Yonghao to abdicate in Tiandu, Chen Yan and Yang Rou were not idle either.
They visited many small websites and forums.
It turned out that many people who were banned by .
Moreover, their thoughts were similar to those of Chen Yan and the others. They were all afraid of the power of the Zhao Group.
That’s not all.
I don’t know if the Zhao Group has also found these small gathering places, but they sent lawyers’ letters one after another, ordering these websites to delete the relevant information and discussions.
Chen Yan knew about this because a small forum posted a lawyer's letter from the Zhao Group. Then he said that he didn't dare to confront the Zhao Group head-on, so he could only delete the relevant information.
This further aroused the emotions of netizens.
Chen Yan felt that now that Zhao Qingtian was putting so much pressure on him, online public opinion was like a powder keg that could ignite at any moment.
Everything just needs a trigger...
But this fuse needs a significant official response...
Thoughts return.
Chen Yan glanced at Zhang Yonghao. Since he already had a plan, Chen Yan would definitely not let Toutiao lift the blockade.
After all, the harder you press now, the higher it will jump when it rebounds in the future.
If Toutiao Technology relaxes its regulations now, allowing netizens to start venting their anger and unleash this momentum, that will have an impact on the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan looked at Zhang Yonghao and explained again,
"Mr. Zhang. When I came to the company yesterday, I said that I didn't come here because of Zhao Jie."
"Besides, now that I have become a director of the company, I must prioritize the interests of the company."
"It is impossible to let the company be damaged for personal gain."
"Besides, the entire Internet has suppressed the Zhao Jie incident. Even if the headlines are released, what's the point?"
"So, don't think too much about it. Just follow the current implementation."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Zhao Qingtian looked at Chen Yan suspiciously.
After making sure that Chen Yan was not joking, he nodded doubtfully.
Afterwards, Chen Yan didn't bother to care what he thought: as long as it didn't ruin Chen Yan's good deeds, it was fine.
So, next, a few people continued to talk about the company and subsequent docking matters.
The deputy director appointed by Chen Yan will also move into the Finance Department today and begin to oversee the company's financial situation.
Now that Director Wang has left and He Mengxue’s revenge has been achieved, there is no need for her to stay in Toutiao Technology anymore, so Chen Yan also appointed Qin Ming to represent the two of them to sit on the board of directors and oversee the company’s daily operations.
With the veto power over Chen Yan, he has great authority in Toutiao Technology.
Chen Yan believed that with his abilities, he would soon be able to gradually infiltrate Toutiao Technology and lay the foundation for his future succession.
After everything was settled, the three of them left Toutiao Technology.
This trip to Tiandu was a complete success.
However, on the way back to the hotel, Chen Yan glanced at Qin Ming who was sitting in front of him, and then ordered, "Qin Ming. Do you have anything to do in the next few days?"
Hearing Chen Yan's question, Qin Ming quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, Brother Chen. What's wrong?"
Chen Yan ordered slowly, "If everything is fine, you can stay for a few more days."
Qin Ming nodded, "Okay."
Chen Yan asked, "Do you know why I left you here?"
Qin Ming turned his head and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Chen Yan looked him straight in the eye and said, "Go get those shares held by Director Wang."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Qin Ming's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Great! Brother Chen!"
He said, "I didn't expect that what you did last night actually had such a deep meaning."
Chen Yan smiled but said nothing...
Director Wang has now been kicked out of the company, but he still holds about 3% of the shares.
Originally, these shares would most likely be redeemed by the company or purchased by Zhang Yonghao.
But, that is the normal situation.
Now, Director Wang and Zhang Yonghao have a misunderstanding, and they will probably no longer trust him. So it is not certain who will own the company's shares in Director Wang's hands...
Everything depends on one's ability. And Chen Yan believes in Qin Ming.
After explaining everything, Chen Yan and the other two returned to the hotel.
Because the next step might involve equity negotiations, the company's team and Qin Ming stayed.
So, the team that was originally going to return to Qindao together ended up with only Chen Yan and He Mengxue left.
They boarded the plane to Qindao Island and flew to Qindao Island, which they had been away from for a long time...
This time, he forced Zhang Yonghao to abdicate and avenged He Mengxue. He laid another chess piece.
The whole process was very successful.
Chen Yan was very satisfied.
However, what he didn't know was that the "deeds" he left behind in the past two days had gradually begun to spread in Tiandu...
…
These days, the favorite topic among Tiandu’s investment circles and top wealthy circles is the huge changes in Toutiao Technology.
A unicorn company with a potential market value of hundreds of billions of dollars was suddenly caught up in internal strife among its management.
Moreover, as an external investor , Chen Yan actually held more than 40% of the shares and came directly to force the palace.
This kind of drama has not been seen in the circle for many years.
So they can't help but be interested...
In this group, various companies are discussing these issues.
"Have you heard? Chen Yan succeeded in forcing the emperor to abdicate. Just now, there was news from Toutiao that Chen Yan successfully obtained three seats on the board of directors. He also placed his own people in the finance department to supervise."
"Yes. I also heard that the director who had a conflict with Chen Yan also resigned the next day."
"Chen Yan really won this time. Zhang Yonghao had no power to fight back at all."
"You don't have it either. Who would have thought that Chen Yan would suddenly get so many shares?"
“That makes sense.”
"There is one more ruthless character among the wealthy people in the country."
…
"Have you guys got any news? What exactly caused the fight between Chen Yan and Zhang Yonghao?"
"It seems someone has found out some information, saying that there is a difference of opinion with the company regarding the direction of public opinion on a certain matter."
"What is it?"
"I heard it was related to the Zhao Group and Zhao Qingtian. Chen Yan seemed to have a conflict with him, and then Zhao Qingtian was exposed for his dirty tricks, but Zhang Yonghao supported Zhao Qingtian and blocked the news. So Chen Yan got angry and shut down his company directly."
"Tsk tsk. Zhao? Chen Yan is really tough. He actually attacked Zhao directly. It's going to be interesting to watch."
"Yeah, yeah. Zhang Yonghao is the one who suffered. Just because he chose the wrong side, his company almost went bankrupt."
…
At this time, in Tiandu, inside the Zhao Group.
Chairman's Office.
Zhao Qingtian was also listening to his assistant's report with a gloomy expression, "That loser Zhang Yonghao was controlled by Chen Yan just like that?"
After hearing Zhao Qingtian's evaluation, the female assistant lowered her head and said, "Yes. Maybe for the development of the company, he agreed to almost all of Chen Yan's conditions."
Zhao Qingtian's expression looked a little bad.
Obviously, even though he had never underestimated Chen Yan, he had never thought that Chen Yan could actually sneak around and directly attack Zhang Yonghao's hometown and take over a large-scale traffic platform.
He was a little worried for a moment.
How passive he would be if Chen Yan asked Zhang Yonghao to publicize Zhao Jie's affairs.
So, he could no longer sit still.
Instead, he picked up the phone on the table and called Zhang Yonghao.
After a while, the call was connected, and Zhao Qingtian also had a faint smile on his face, "Boss Zhang. Are you not busy?"
"Yes. I want to ask if our cooperation will continue?"
Zhang Yonghao's answer obviously surprised Zhao Qingtian. "Continue?"
A hint of curiosity appeared on his face, and he asked tentatively, "I heard that recently you..."
Zhang Yonghao's voice came from the phone, "They are all minor issues, Mr. Zhao."
"I will definitely complete what I promised you, so don't worry."
"As for Chen Yan, I was just in a passive position because it happened so suddenly. I can still kick him out when I am free."
When Zhao Qingtian heard Zhang Yonghao's words, there was no sign of disbelief on his face.
He chatted with Zhang Yonghao for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qingtian frowned and kept muttering, "No. This is not right."
"If Zhang Yonghao had the ability, he wouldn't be controlled by Chen Yan like this."
"So, did Chen Yan let me go?"
"Why……?"
Obviously, even with Zhao Qingtian's experience and scheming, he couldn't understand why Chen Yan suddenly stopped moving.
He felt it was not quite reasonable.
"Could it be that Chen Yan wants to make peace with me?"
"Or maybe, is Zhang Yonghao really that capable?"
Zhao Qingtian's thoughts have been wandering further and further...
…
At this time, Chen Yan, who had returned to Qindao, had no idea that he had been betrayed by Zhang Yonghao again.
However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care much.
After all, he had already decided that after receiving the cashback this time, he would [force buy] more than 50% of Toutiao Technology's shares and completely control the company.
He was really fed up with Zhang Yonghao's character of kneeling down to any strong man.
He felt that given Zhang Yonghao's personality, if the United States wanted to impose sanctions on him one year, he would probably kneel down and call them daddy at the first moment.
Therefore, he no longer had any expectations for this person...
When they arrived at their own territory, Chen Yan and He Mengxue felt much more relaxed.
After getting in the company car, the two headed towards Qindao city.
In the car, He Mengxue looked at the driver. After making sure that the driver was not paying attention to her, she quietly pulled down the middle partition and whispered to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, you have been on a business trip for a few days. Are you tired?"
Chen Yan glanced at her and said calmly, "It's okay. What's wrong?"
He Mengxue put her arm around him.
The whole person also came up.
It was almost summer and clothes were becoming thinner, so when she leaned against him, Chen Yan felt his arm was soft.
He Mengxue whispered, "How about... we drink some wine and relax?"
Chen Yan looked at her with a smile on his face, "You mean drinking when you relax?"
He Mengxue nodded with shining eyes.
Apparently, she really thought it would relieve her exhaustion.
Chen Yan is different.
He rolled his eyes and broke free from He Mengxue's embrace. "Forget it. I might as well go home and have a rest. What's the point of drinking?"
He Mengxue was not discouraged by Chen Yan's rejection: she was used to it anyway.
She continued to hold Chen Yan's arm, then cast a seductive glance at Chen Yan and said, "Drinking is boring."
"But... the drinking thing is interesting~"
Chen Yan looked at her suspiciously.
She bit her lip lightly, then pretended to be shy and said, "You can be bolder. Get me drunk. Then... you can bully me."
Chen Yan: …
Chen Yan gave He Mengxue a slap on the head.
He Mengxue felt the pain and couldn't help but utter "ouch", then covered her forehead and looked at Chen Yan aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me?"
Chen Yan snorted coldly, "Is this what you think about every day?"
He Mengxue rolled her eyes beautifully.
Chen Yan said, "Besides, you? Even if I don't get you drunk, you won't bully me?"
When He Mengxue heard this, she rolled her eyes at Chen Yan charmingly and said, "Isn't this a different kind of fun~"
"Being drunk and being sober are still different."
Chen Yan: …
"No thanks. I prefer to be sober."
…
Half an hour.
He Mengxue's bar.
Chen Yan and He Mengxue clinked their glasses and said, "Come on, drink."
He Mengxue held back her laughter, then stole a glance at Chen Yan and drank the wine in the glass.
Afterwards, she gestured downwards and looked at Chen Yan provocatively.
Chen Yan: ? ?
Chen Yan looked at her, feeling that something was not right.
Was it He Mengxue who said that she should blame herself?
She also said that it's not fun this way, right?
Why do I have this inexplicable feeling...that I am the "fun"?
