Chapter 41: The Struggle for Power
The sky was already slightly dark, Zhao Wan'er was a little scared and said reluctantly: "Brother Li, don't worry about so much, let's hurry up and rush to Xianyang City." ”
Li Bing promised, increased the throttle, and drove in the direction of Xianyang City.
After arriving in Xianyang, the sky had completely darkened, and Li Bing parked his car in front of a hotel.
Early the next morning, after the four of them got up, washed up and checked out, they simply had breakfast at a small restaurant on the side of the road and drove to the Xianyang City Public Security Bureau.
After Zhao Wan'er showed her ID and signed, a criminal police officer led her to claim Zhao Yiming's bones. Li Bing and Zhang Yuanshan carefully packed the body bag into the trunk of the SUV.
After arriving in Xi'an from Xianyang, Li Bing drove on the highway and arrived in Shanghai without incident.
Zhang Lili and Wang Liping, who had already received the call, as well as members of the company's board of directors and a large number of management personnel, had already been waiting at the door of the funeral home, and when they saw Li Bing and Zhang Yuanshan carrying down Zhao Yiming's bones from the car, they immediately cried and cried, and there was a sound of wailing.
Two days later, after dealing with Zhao Yiming's funeral, Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er drove alone to Nanjing Qixia Ancient Temple to visit Zen Master Kongming.
After listening to the narration of the two, Zen Master Kongming chanted the Buddha silently: "Two donors, if it is really as you said, the ghost of Zhao Shizhu must be sealed by an extremely powerful force in Qianling and cannot be reborn. If this seal can be broken, the ghost of Lord Zhao can enter the underworld and wait for reincarnation. ”
Zhao Wan'er nodded, indicating her determination to go to Qianling again to find out, in order to break the seal and let her father's dead rest in peace.
Li Bing asked, "Master, it's been seven days since the last goodbye, how about asking you to surpass Yu Ru?" ”
Zen Master Kong Ming smiled slightly: "Amitabha! The little monk didn't dare to slack off, and had spent seven days and seven nights chanting for Miss Yu's ghost. Now, Miss Yu's ghost should have already entered the underworld and waited for reincarnation, and the little stone drum has not moved any more. The two of them don't have to bury the small stone drum back in the Ming Tomb, so they send it to the Thousand Buddha Rock here, so that the small stone drum can listen to the Sanskrit sound of the morning bell and the dusk drum every day, so as to dissolve the anger accumulated by the small stone drum in the Ming Tomb for hundreds of years. Wonderful! ”
When Li Bing and Zhao Wan'er heard this, they all bowed their heads and folded their hands to Zen Master Kongming, and also recited a Buddha name.
The two carefully moved the terrifying bronze mirror from the meditation room of the Kongming Zen Master onto the off-road vehicle, and after bidding farewell to the Kongming Zen Master, they returned directly to Zhao Wan'er's home in Shanghai from the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway.
Zhao Waner called several directors of the company to gather at her house, saying that there was something important to discuss. An hour later, the Zhao family's living room was full.
Zhao Wan'er said: "In the more than a month since my father's accident, the directors have worked together to make great efforts for the normal operation and continuous development of the company, and the little woman would like to thank you." ”
Everyone hurriedly and humbly returned the salute, and said in unison that this is the way it should be, the company has done a good job, everyone is good, please Zhao Wan'er take over as soon as possible and officially take charge of the company.
Zhang Lili was silent, and her face was cloudy. A trace of annoyance flashed in Wang Liping's eyes, but he immediately regained his smile, and echoed everyone to ask Zhao Wan'er to officially become the chairman of the company.
Zhao Wan'er waved her hand, asking everyone to be quiet: "Everyone." I can't officially take over the company's affairs for the time being, because there are still some troublesome things to deal with, as for the specific reasons, please bear with me, it's really inconvenient to say. I plan to set off tomorrow, first to Anhui and then to Shaanxi, which is estimated to take a long time. In my absence, I would like to ask the directors to assist my mother, Zhang Lili, in managing the company's business. Please! ”
Everyone talked about it, Wang Liping secretly made a color to Zhang Lili, Zhang Lili immediately understood, and said to everyone: "Everyone, I won't hide it from you, there are experts who point out, saying that the ghost of my husband Zhao Yiming will not rest in peace." The little girl Wan'er is filial piety and is determined to do a good job in this troublesome matter. Maybe everyone thinks it's superstition, but since there is such a thing, as a family, we can't ignore it. If it weren't for the fact that the company had to keep someone in charge, I would have gone with my little girl. Please be considerate of the little girl Wan'er, still the same as some time ago, work together to make the company more and more prosperous. ”
When everyone saw Zhao Yiming's widow say this, they couldn't say anything, and they all expressed their stance that they would do their best for the company's affairs.
Seeing everyone like this, Zhang Lili showed a hint of joy on her face, turned around and asked Zhao Wan'er: "Wan'er, I have a suggestion, Liping is my own family, I propose to let him be my assistant and participate in the company's decision-making, what do you think?" ”
Someone among the directors immediately raised objections, but Wang Liping did not say a word, but still smiled.
Zhao Wan'er motioned for everyone to be quiet, she first listened to the opinions of the directors, and then smiled: "That's it, I decided." Liping served as my mother's assistant, and my mother took charge of the company's daily affairs, but there was no need to ask me for major events in the company. I don't know much about the company's business, and blind command will ruin the company's major affairs, so all decision-making matters in the company are decided by the board of directors. ”
The elderly director stood up: "Chairman, there are a few words that should not be said, but I have to say them. ”
Zhao Wan'er was stunned, and after a while, she realized that the word 'chairman' was called her, and she couldn't help giggling: "If you have anything to do, just say it, today is the big plan of the decision-making company, you have to listen to good words, and you have to listen to bad words." ”
The older director coughed and seemed to have made up his mind: "Chairman, what I have to say is that our Guangming Construction Group Company is actually a family business. When Mr. Zhao was alive, he had already designated Miss Wan'er as the successor of the chairman. Now, the new chairman is going to be out for so long, I say something unlucky, if the chairman has any three strengths and two weaknesses, who will inherit the company? That's in the interest of thousands of people in the company, so I have to say. ”
As soon as the old man spoke, Wang Liping's smile immediately converged, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily a few times.
Zhang Lili angrily glanced at the older director who spoke, and Zhao Wan'er saw everyone's faces in her eyes. She thought for a while: "I'm not married yet, although my mother made me get engaged to Liping, but that has no legal effect." So apart from my mother, the company really can't decide on an heir. ”
Zhang Lili and Wang Liping's faces showed joy at the same time, but they suddenly heard several directors protesting collectively. The senior director took the lead and said, "Chairman, this is a big deal, you can't be so rash. Since we have said this, we have to say that Mr. Zhao had a bad relationship with his wife before his death, and he has told several of our directors many times that the company's inheritance has nothing to do with his wife. Please also ask the new chairman to think twice and consider the meaning of Mr. Zhao before his death. ”
Of course, Zhao Wan'er knew her father's attitude towards her mother, and she was also in a dilemma, and after thinking about it for a long time, she said slowly: "Thank you for thinking so thoroughly, although these words are really unlucky, I understand your painstaking efforts." In this way, I will deal with the relevant matters as soon as possible and return to the company to take over the chairmanship, and please take care of me then! If I'm out and about, what's the long and the short......."
Zhao Wan'er hesitated for a long time, and then she thought of the terrible bronze mirror, if she really didn't let the ghosts in the bronze mirror disappear within a month, then she might really encounter an accident. While she was thinking about it, everyone waited anxiously for her to say what she had said.
Zhao Wan'er paused for a while, and said in a firm tone: "If something happens to me, then the company's inheritance can be done like this." One-tenth of the company's property rights will be left for my mother Zhang Lili to support the elderly, one-tenth will be distributed to you as the company's dividends, and one-tenth can be used as sesame oil money for Nanjing Qixia Ancient Temple, and the rest will be donated to charity. If you don't have any objections, it's decided, what do you think? ”
Zhang Lili looked at Zhao Wan'er in surprise: "Wan'er, are you crazy?" Actually talking like that. You'll be fine, when you come back, Mom still wants to see you and Liping get married, and at that time, the company will have a legal heir. ”
Zhao Wan'er smiled: "Mom, I got engaged to Liping, but I didn't want to disobey your old man at the beginning." I wouldn't be so hasty with my own life's work. If I have nothing to do, after I have taken care of it smoothly, I will return to Shanghai and think about the major matter of getting married at that time. ”
Zhang Lili wanted to refute again, but when she saw Wang Liping glaring at her, she immediately kept silent. Several other directors of the company discussed with each other, agreed, and prepared to make a memorandum tomorrow and ask the notary office to notarize it.
Zhao Wan'er suddenly proposed to use one of the company's off-road vehicles as a substitute for transportation, and the new chairman said so, naturally no one had any objections.
The next day, when everything was ready, it was already noon. Zhao Wan'er called Li Bing to drive the company's off-road, and at the same time called Zhang Yuanshan and Shi Liya to come and set off together, and Shi Liya drove the two off-road cars borrowed by Qian Yiduo, and the two cars formed a convoy and drove towards Wuhe, Anhui.
