Campus Cultivation Master-Chapter 375 - 0376: Forced Abdication [Part 1]

Ma Xuesong’s uncle tapped on the table and said, "The only way is to make her withdraw the order willingly."

Ma Xuesong slumped in defeat upon hearing his uncle’s words, and said, "How could Ning Xiaoman possibly back down voluntarily? That’s impossible."

Ma Xuesong’s uncle said, "It’s not entirely impossible."

Ma Xuesong’s eyes lit up again, and he asked, "Uncle, do you have a plan?"

Ma Xuesong’s uncle said, "You know about Kai Sheng Group’s new commercial real estate project, don’t you?"

Ma Xuesong nodded and replied, "I know, but what can be done with that?"

Ma Xuesong’s uncle scolded him for his lack of initiative, saying, "Do you do anything at the company other than flirt with women? Can’t you use your head for once?"

Ma Xuesong, scolded by his uncle, didn’t dare to resist and said, "Uncle, just tell me what your plan is."

Ma Xuesong’s uncle revealed, "This new commercial real estate project is the biggest investment by Kai Sheng Group in the past two years. All of Kai Sheng Group’s liquid assets and bank mortgages are tied up in this project. If there’s a problem with this project, do you think Ning Xiaoman wouldn’t be forced to make concessions?"

Ma Xuesong asked, "Uncle, but how can we delay this project?"

Ma Xuesong’s uncle almost scolded him again but held back and said, "The project’s approval site is under your father’s jurisdiction. Don’t you know what to do?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xuesong finally showed a flicker of delight and said, "Uncle, I know what to do now."

Ma Xuesong’s uncle said, "Luckily, you’re not too foolish."

Ma Xuesong said, "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle. I’ll start working on it right away."

Ma Xuesong’s uncle said, "Go ahead. If you handle this well, not only will you be able to return to the company, but I will also advance in the board rankings. Furthermore, with further maneuvering, we could completely sideline Ning Xiaoman. By then, the Kai Sheng Group will be at our disposal."

After pausing, Ma Xuesong said earnestly, "And once Ning Xiaoman is sidelined, you can do whatever you want. As for that female student, you can do whatever you want with her too."

Ma Xuesong asked, "But Uncle, what about that student who broke my arm?"

Ma Xuesong’s uncle disdainfully said, "You don’t need to worry about that student. He’s just a student; do you think he can cause any real trouble? This is all Ning Xiaoman’s theatrics. Her sole intention was to remove you. Even without that student, she would have acted the same."

Ma Xuesong was reassured by his uncle’s words, patted his chest in assurance, and said, "Uncle, don’t worry, I promise to handle this well."

Ma Xuesong’s uncle nodded and said, "Go do it. I’ll be waiting for your good news."

Time passed day by day, and Chu Feng’s internship continued. Ning Xiaoman’s relationship with Chu Feng, since the day of the incident, seemed to have never improved.

Ning Xiaoman did not initiate conversation with Chu Feng, and naturally, Chu Feng did not seek topics either.

The two of them were like strangers; although they were in the same office, they hardly spoke to each other. Each was busy with their own tasks, and Chu Feng didn’t find it too boring.

"Chairman, there’s trouble, our Kai Sheng Place project has been halted," Secretary Tang hurriedly came in and reported.

"What happened?" Ning Xiaoman remained composed, even upon hearing that the project had run into issues, showing little change in her expression.

Secretary Tang reported, "Today, the Land Bureau suddenly stopped our project, claiming our project approval doesn’t meet the regulations. They asked us to halt construction immediately, and they’ve already sealed our project site. All workers have been expelled from the site."

Pausing, Secretary Tang continued, "Additionally, the banks, hearing that our project has stopped, are also pressing for repayment of our loans. Chairman Zhao has requested an immediate board meeting."

Ning Xiaoman’s expression finally changed somewhat upon hearing the series of unfortunate updates from Secretary Tang.

After pondering for a while, Ning Xiaoman said, "Immediately contact the relevant departments and submit all our approval documents for review. Also, get in touch with the banks to discuss our situation."

After a pause, Ning Xiaoman said, "Prepare the meeting room, and call for a board meeting immediately."

"Alright," Secretary Tang acknowledged and hurried off.

Ning Xiaoman glanced at Chu Feng, then stood up, adjusted her skirt, and calmly walked out.

Seeing Ning Xiaoman leave, Chu Feng felt even more idle.

Kai Sheng Group’s conference room!

All the directors of Kai Sheng Group had arrived; given the magnitude of the crisis, all were present.

Kai Sheng Group had been founded by Ning Xiaoman’s father, but it truly flourished under Ning Xiaoman’s leadership.

One might say that without Ning Xiaoman, Kai Sheng Group would still be merely a chain of supermarkets, certainly not the comprehensive major company it was today.

But today, these company veterans who had once supported Ning Xiaoman either chose neutrality or positioned themselves against her.

Listenting to these once-familiar figures challenging her, Ning Xiaoman felt nothing but heartache.

Ning Xiaoman watched those challenging her with an expressionless face, not saying a word.

"Chairman Ning, we’re not sure what you think about our views. Now that the company is facing such a significant change, we really should consider some adjustments. The current model of the group seems to be the primary restraint on the company’s growth," Ma Xuesong’s uncle spoke up.

Previously, Ma Xuesong’s uncle had been one of the leading figures in the company, but definitely not at the very top. However, this time, he truly took the initiative. The reason was simple: Ma Xuesong’s father had spearheaded this company crisis. Everyone, eager to protect their vested interests, naturally leaned towards Ma Xuesong.

Ning Xiaoman looked at Ma Xuesong and the other directors and said, "I will consider it, but the company has not yet reached a point of utter destitution. I am still the chairman for now, and I still have the authority to decide on company matters."

"Chairman, we are well aware that you are the chairman. But now that the company has encountered serious issues, doesn’t that indicate a failure on your part?" Ma Xuesong’s uncle continued his challenge.

"You know best what exactly happened. The chairman just dismissed Ma Xuesong, but that was based on solid evidence. And all the directors present, think about it, who deserves credit for the company’s development over the years and for your comfortable lives?" Secretary Tang finally couldn’t hold back and spoke up.
