CEO Vengeful Wife-Chapter 155: Sweet Taste of Authority

Jing Lihua's previous visit to Mealor Mansion had been unsuccessful as she had been unable to find Su Liwei. During her visit, she had found some time to ask around. It turned out that Su Liwei was currently aboard.

"Sooner or later, he will approach me. Tang enterprise and Su enterprise, they are reaching a stalemate. Su Donghai must pressurize Su Liwei to use any excuse to take me away."

Because of the incident with Heng Software Limited, the matter of going to the Su family private Islands was put to a halt. Before leaving her company vulnerable for a week, she wanted to settle Heng Bingwen in his rightful place.

"In my absence, I need a trustworthy and powerful enough person and Heng Bingwen is just the right candidate."

In the upcoming days, Heng Huizhong had been very busy.

"Husband? Would you be able to suppress Jing Lihua? What if she still finds a way to poach our supporters." Lang Lan used 'Jing Lihua' name to express her worries and didn't directly use 'Heng Bingwen' name.

After all, Heng Bingwen was still Heng Huizhong son. He might dislike him but wouldn't go this far to hate him. Lang Lan couldn't openly use 'Heng Bingwen' name. 

When she was unable to get a response out of Heng Huizhong, she further pressed him. "Husband, I am telling you. Heng Bingwnwen is young. That Jing Lihua, she must have muddled him with promises of wealth and revenge. Heng Bingwen is after all your blood. He wouldn't sell his family assets easily."

"Stop trying to speak up for that bastard!" Heng Huizhong flared up.

"Husband... He is still a kid..."

"A kid? Humph! He is already over twenty. Look at our Heng Fu! He is merely a teenager but he is far more disciplined and refined! Even if he still sometimes engages in rebellious acts, he knows his limits. He never involves an outsider into our family business!"

Lang Lan formed a complicated expression on her face. Like she wanted to speak up for Heng Bingwen but couldn't find anything good on him to speak for him. 

However, her words achieved the very same result she had wanted. Inwardly she gloated in satisfaction. 'These men... They are always so easy to manipulate'

Continuing her pretense, in a meek tone, she said. "But he is your son..."

"The day that bastard sided with outsiders, he no longer remained my son." 

Heng Huizhong was enraged after being reminded that Heng Bingwen was his son. In his eyes, his son's actions were akin to a betrayal towards his family. Although Jing Lihua might have the same lineage, she didn't hold the sur

name Heng, Heng Huizhong still considered her an outsider and not have a right to inherit his father's shares.

'That Jing Lihua... She must have known already she had blood ties with the Heng family. She must have long coveted those shared and have approached my father under my nose before he died and convinced him to name her in his will. Since I was collaborating with her enemies, the Su Empire, she would have voluntarily approached Heng Bingwen and offered her help to get the inheritance in exchange for his loyalty.'

Heng Huizhong summarized in his mind. He didn't believe it was all a coincidence that Jing Lihua chose his good-for-nothing son Heng Bingwen to work so close in her company and handle the sensitive info.

He didn't believe she didn't know about her lineage beforehand. 

In his eyes, a shrewd person like her must have known everything since the beginning, playing him and others like a fool. She must have known, that was why she must have approached his son and made him into her pawn.

 After a moment, he laughed. 

"But it is useless. Those investors have all been handpicked by me during the span of many years. During the last couple of days, I have arranged countless meetings. I had them sign written agreements to vote for me. That Jing Lihua and that bastard, they both would only be making a fool of themselves." Heng Huizhong was full of confidence.

Lang Lan knew her husband had been busy these past few days to arrange meetings and reach various agreements. Grasping the confidence in his tone, she realized that those meetings were mostly successful. Her anxiety was relieved.

'This Jing Lihua, she had gotten into some business arrangements with the prestigious 'Li' family. So I had been worried about the outcome of the political struggle in the Heng Limited Softwares. But in the end, her association with the 'Li' family was only limited to business. We are merely overestimating her. She is still behind the Su enterprise who are our strong backers.'

Lang Lan sneered in her heart.

The humiliation she suffered that day in front of that vixen Xu Baozhai because of Jing Lihua, she could finally foresee a vent for her frustration in the upcoming defeat of Jing Lihua.

After a week of the Elder's Heng will hearing and rearrangement of the shares, the event for the election of the Chief Executive was held. 

All the major shareholders had gathered in the meeting room of the Heng Software Limited. Heng Hizhong was the first one to appear to timely demonstrate his authority and position. Everyone gave him the protocol of the Chief Executive. Once he entered the room,

everyone stood up to offer him a greeting.

Whenever he passed, the people would bow slightly to show their deference.

Heng Huizhong would nod stiffly with a pompous air around him. This was the authority he was used to. The sweet taste of authority, how could he easily let go of it?

How could he see another person enjoy the privileges he had enjoyed for granted for the last twenty years? Even though it would be his own son, what did the relationship matter if he would constantly be challenged?

"Mr. Heng, almost everyone had appeared in the—" The subordinate shut up when Heng Huizhong's expressions faltered, looking offended.
