Chapter 328: Uprising

Cao Wei weeps as he says this. The other board members and Duan Huiling went wide-eyed. But then,

"Bullshit! How could the CEO die?!" Duan Huiling shouts out. She couldn't believe it. How could Lu Chen die?

"At first, I didn't believe it either. How could such a kind man be dead? But didn't you guys see the marks on the ground?" Outside of the building, there are turns marks on the road.

"My colleague told me that he saw a bunch of vans driving up to the front of the building. And then he saw people beating the CEO up." Cao Wei's sad tears made it unbelievable to the rest.

"..." Duan Huiling went silent. She saw the marks on the ground too. But she didn't think it had to do with Lu Chen!

Noticing the silence, Cao Wei continues, "That's why I came here. Please call the CEO."

Duan Huiling didn't need him to say that as she pulled out her phone. She calls his phone number, hoping that Lu Chen will pick up.

As the phone continues to ring, the tension's high. After ringing three times, the phone went to the voice message.

"..." The board members and Duan Huiling's face turn pale.

How can this be? They couldn't believe Lu Chen would be taken out like that. He's somebody that'll make their company great.

And yet, he's gone, just like that.

"How can this be?! How could such a young man be gone just like that?!" Cao Wei continues to grieve like a sorry old man. However, Duan Huiling could see through the act.

How could Cao Wei not be happy about what happened to Lu Chen? Lu Chen was his biggest competitor, and now he was gone.

"But now what do we do?" Cao Wei's words made the board members and Duan Huiling look up at him.

"We should elect a new CEO." The expression on all the board members changes.

One board member stands up and shouts, "Cao Wei! Have you gone mad?! How could we do something like that at a time like this?!"

Their CEO just died. How could they elect somebody new at this time?

Cao Wei squints, "If we don't elect a new person, all of the CEO's work will go down the drain. Can you really let that happen?"

When Cao Wei said that, the board members flinch. What he said was correct. If they don't choose a new CEO quickly, then what Cao Wei said might happen.

"Let's discuss this at another time." The board member says this, and the others nod to it as well. It wasn't going to kill them if they decided tomorrow.

"How could you guys say to wait? Let's not waste this opportunity."Cao Wei glares at them as he continues to insist. Never did he expect Lu Chen's influence would run so deep in these people. Lu Chen was only CEO for a few months.

He couldn't give them time to think.

If he doesn't force the situation down like this right now, he wouldn't have another chance like this.

"That's why I'm nominating myself as the CEO. I'm the person with the highest amount of shares at the company. Also, I've been at the company for a long time now.

I think I'm the person with the most qualifications."

"Bullshit! Do you think you can come into the company and take it over now?!" Duan Huiling couldn't let Cao Wei become the CEO. She knows if he becomes the CEO, it would be a living nightmare.

He would turn Lu Chen's hard work into nothing.

"Do you think you can stop me from becoming the CEO?" To be honest, even if they didn't want Cao Wei to be CEO, they couldn't stop it. Now that Lu Chen's gone, Cao Wei has the highest amount of shares.

"The first thing I'm going to do when I become CEO is to fire you." Cao Wei turns smug. Duan Huiling was the largest nuisance even before Lu Chen became CEO.

"Who's going to lose their position?" A calm and mellow voice calls out to what Cao Wei said.

When everybody heard that voice, they went wide-eyed. But none of those expressions compared to what Cao Wei was showing.

He turns over to the door and screams,

"Why are you still alive?!"
