CEO Vengeful Wife-Chapter 157: Petty Tricks

"Where is Heng Bingwen?"

"I heard from the secretary words that she was supposed to stand against his father in the election?"

"Shameless! That Jing Lihua, she knew that she would be criticized for the methods she used to acquire those shares! So she made Heng Bingwen into her pawn to control the company and divert the attention from her. But Chief Executive already told us all that Heng Bingwen had form alliance with her!"

After a moment of silence in which Jing Lihua didn't do or say anything, people were back at whispering. Their accusations and insults towards Jing Lihua were getting bolder by the minute.

"All of us now we have always promoted punctuality in the company in Heng Limited Software. A servant looks up to his master to learn. If those who are in charge of everything can't follow the basic ideals, how are the subordinates supposed to follow." A particularly loud voice stood out in the sea of whispers.

It was the subordinate by the Heng Huizhong side.

Jing Lihua cooly glanced in the direction. Her clear gaze assessed everything. 'That old veteran, Heng Huizhong didn't step forward to say anything himself. He is still maintaining the air of prime leader. Instead of taking the initiative to speak against me on his own, he instigated his subordinate. True, that's the attitude of the superior.' Jing Lihua's lips had a small smile.

The words from Heng Huizhong incited countless people. Those who were speaking in hushed whispers and roundabout accusations, now after being encouraged, became more blatant in their attacks.

Heng Huizhong was silent. Maintaining his calm expressions, he glanced at Jing Lihua rejoicing in the temporary air of victory.

However...

Amid all the condemnations sent in her direction, Jing Lihua's expressions were serene.

 Observing this, the slight unease crept back into Heng Huizhong's heart. "Why does she such calm expressions? Could it be she have a trump card?" Heng Huizhong's intuition told him something was not right.

"Humph! So what is she has a trump card?! I have already obtained signed agreements from every shareholder. They won't be casting for Heng Bingwen or else they would be over! That doesn't matter! Heng Bngwen had not even appeared yet. Maybe—"

Heng Huizhong's thoughts were interrupted when at the final moment, the doors opened and a youthful boy walked in. His expressions were cold, his eyes were determined and the air around him felt like he wasn't a mere twenty years old but a mature, established man.

His confidence and the aura around him made him appear like a very important person.

And when he entered at the last minute when everyone has already seated, that gave a particular feeling to everyone.

It was as if... he was already the Chief Executive.

"You—" Heng Huizhong was enraged and shot a wrathful glare in Jing Lihua's direction.

To his anger, Jing Lihua was smi

ling softly.

'So it was the reason behind all this? The true reason Heng Bingwen appeared only at the last moment, and even Jing Lihua had already appeared and seated prior to him, was to establish his importance and air of superiority?'

Of course, in every company during such meetings, everyone must appear earlier and wait for the true leader!

Everyone knew this. And now they were looking at Heng Bingwen with a peculiar light in their eyes. Before this, no one had taken him seriously. But after this, everything changed slightly!

That was the true intention that Heng Bingwen hadn't appeared with Jing Lihua. If he had appeared earlier, no one would have batted an eye on him. 

But now that he appeared at the last moment, his importance was established.

After all, he was the one who had to stand against Heng Huzihong.

"Haha. Nice trick, President Jing. But it's useless." Heng Huizhong thought in his mind. "No matter what, the outcome of today's election has already been decided." Heng Huizhong didn't lose his mind over their petty trick.

The cards were still in his hands.

Heng Bingwen's eyes met Jing Lihua. Jing Lihua gave him an assuring smile. Drawing confidence from it, heng Bingwen continued to walk in the direction.

"Now that everyone has appeared, we shall start the process. Since we have two new members between us, I will briefly explain the procedure." The company's secretary began.

However, suddenly, Jing Lihua interrupted him. "There is no need Mr. Han." Her slight smile was still on her lips. 

Secretary Han paused. In confusion, he glanced at Heng Huizhong. 

Heng Huizhng had previously instructed him to say these words in front of everyone. The purpose was so that it would appear in front of everyone that this Jing Lihua and Heng Bingwen were just novices.

And Heng Huizhong was still the established, deep-rooted person in the company who knew everything.

These tricks might seem small, but when accumulated, it would eradicate the doubts in the hearts of shareholders. Even if some of his shareholders were approached by Jing Lihua, once they saw that Heng Huizhong still held the real power, they would have second thoughts about choosing Heng Bingwen over him.

"Since we hold Heng Limited Softwares new Chief Executive among us, it is only natural he is aware of these basic procedures. As for me, I don't need to know these things. Secretary Han, you are merely wasting your breath." Jing Lihua's light and serene voice flowed in the room. 

"This..." Secretary Hang glanced at Heng Huizhong as if asking for direction.

Noticing his actions Jing Lihua immediately released that it must be Heng Huizhong who had instructed him. She sighed in her heart. 'Such petty tricks! That Heng Huizhong demonstrated his acumen but in the end, he failed to impress me. His tricks, as compared to Su Liwei and Su Donghai, are still mediocre.

'

Listening to Jing Lihua blatant words, the whole Hall fell into sudden silence.

'New Executive Chief... They had yet to perform the voting and she was already declaring Heng Bingwen as the new Chief Executive like this. Wasn't this too over the board?'

Before anyone of them could object, something even more peculiar happened.

In front of everyone's eyes, Heng Bingwen waked from the entrance straight to the Chief Executive Chair that was left empty. Without having an ounce of reluctance in his actions, he claimed the seat as if it already belonged to him.

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes.
