Although people are not in rivers and lakes, but everywhere is legend

"Ladies and gentlemen, many of you here are familiar with me. I used to serve as the Vice Chairman of Hanjiang Group. As for why I became the Chairman of Changhong Trading, it's an interesting story," He Ming said with a thought-provoking smile.

Then he waved his hand, saying, "I don't want to dwell on the details. After all, today is a joyous occasion for the signing ceremony between Changhong and Binhai International. I don't want to bring up unrelated and unpleasant matters."

His demeanor seemed to suggest that he had been treated unfairly at Hanjiang Group.

For a moment, everyone was filled with doubts.

Several high-level executives from Hanjiang Group wanted to stand up and rebuke, but they were stopped by Zhao Yan's gaze. He looked at He Ming on the stage with great interest.

His gaze was like that of someone observing a monkey.

"I am honored that you could take the time out of your busy schedules to attend today's signing ceremony. On behalf of Changhong Trading, I express my deepest gratitude..." He Ming finished his speech and his gaze fell on Liu Hailong, the Chairman of Binhai International. "Chairman Liu, please come up. It's your turn now."

The contract had already been prepared, and once they both signed it, the agreement would be officially formed.

"Haha, alright." Liu Hai laughed heartily and walked onto the stage with his corpulent body.

He Ming voluntarily stepped aside.

Liu Hai took the microphone and coughed, "Hanjiang Group is a powerful company, and Chairman Chen of Hanjiang Group is exceptionally talented. I am extremely honored to establish cooperation with Hanjiang Group..."

As soon as he spoke, everyone was dumbfounded.

The smile on He Ming's face froze.

"What's going on today? Weren't we signing the contract with Changhong Trading? What does Hanjiang have to do with this?"

"Could Chairman Liu have made a mistake in his lines?"

"If that's the case, it's not too bad. I'm afraid something else is going on, and we're in for a show today."

"Chairman Liu, you're mistaken. It's not Hanjiang, it's Changhong Trading," He Ming whispered.

Liu Hai smiled, "No mistake, it's indeed Hanjiang Group. My apologies, Chairman He. After careful consideration, all the directors believe that continuing to cooperate with Hanjiang Group is the better choice."

He said this into the microphone.

So everyone in the room could hear it.

Boom!

The entire venue exploded.

The reporters went crazy with their camera shutters.

"Damn! This is too exciting!"

"Binhai International made a sudden change?"

"This is not a sudden change; it was clearly premeditated. No wonder Chairman Chen remained calm and composed."

"Chairman Chen played a masterstroke by pulling the rug out from under them!"

The high-level executives of Hanjiang Group stared in astonishment at Chen Han, who remained calm and unruffled. They couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration.

He had quietly achieved a masterstroke.

Chairman Chen truly was a modern-day Zhuge Liang!

"Don't look at me like that. It was all guided by Young Master Zhao. I never would have thought of it," Zhao Yan said casually, once again pretending to be impressive.

His words were neither loud nor soft.

Everyone around him heard it.

Young Master Zhao, Zhao Yan.

Curiosity welled up in everyone's hearts once again.

Along with a hint of fear and awe.

He Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt on the verge of collapse. "Mr. Liu, you had already made an agreement with Chang Hong. Are you still trustworthy after changing your mind?"

Just a moment ago, he had been smug about embarrassing Chen Han and the others, but in the blink of an eye, Chen Han turned the tables on him. He felt like a clown, completely ridiculous and a laughingstock!

If there was a crack on the ground right now, he would want to crawl into it.

"He Ming, our agreement was only verbal. We have to be cautious when dealing with a business worth billions. Let's consider cooperating again in the future," Liu Hai said calmly.

He Ming clenched his fists, his face filled with anger.

Chen Han stood up and walked onto the stage, smiling at He Ming. "Mr. He, may I borrow your venue to sign a contract with Mr. Liu? After all, you have made quite the preparation. Don't worry, we'll settle the venue fee for you later. Hahaha..."

Everyone felt a chill down their spine.

Chen Han was being too ruthless.

No, he had just mentioned that Zhao Yan was the mastermind behind this, so it would be more accurate to say that Zhao Yan was the ruthless one.

To the mysterious Mr. Zhao, everyone had secretly made up their minds not to offend him.

Facing Zhao Yan's humiliation, He Ming's face turned pale and then red. He was so angry that his whole body trembled, staring at him as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"Excuse me, please step aside. Thank you," Zhao Yan gently pushed him away and took the pen from his hand. "Let me borrow the pen again. Thank you, Mr. He, for being so thoughtful and preparing everything for me. I didn't bring anything with me today to sign the contract."

Then, he elegantly signed Chen Han's name on the contract and shook hands with Liu Hai.

"Mr. Liu, pleasure doing business with you."

"Mr. Chen, pleasure doing business with you."

*Click!*

The reporters went crazy taking pictures.

In the camera lens, Chen Han and Liu Hai were smiling at everyone, while He Ming looked completely lost and devastated, creating a striking contrast.

After letting go of Liu Hai's hand, Zhao Yan held a microphone in one hand and pointed at He Ming with the other. "Just now, Mr. He didn't want to mention his actions within Hanjiang Group, so I'll do it now. Hmm, it's quite interesting."

"He Ming, a director of Hanjiang Group and the vice chairman, has been embezzling and misappropriating company assets, as well as leaking company secrets. He is nothing short of a traitor!"

"Changhong Trading is his company, although it may not seem like it on the surface. But 80% of Changhong's shares are held by his brother-in-law on his behalf! That's why he was able to become the chairman of Changhong!"

Zhao Yan's tone was decisive and his voice resounded, causing a stir among everyone.

No one expected there to be such an insider story.

"Nonsense! Slandering me with baseless accusations! Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, I can sue you for defamation at any time!" He Ming regained his senses upon hearing Zhao Yan's accusations and immediately retorted vehemently.

Zhao Yan looked around and said, "Mr. Zhou, it's time for your performance. It's time to come out of hiding and do the right thing."

In the midst of He Ming's shocked expression, his younger brother-in-law, Zhou Ping, stepped onto the stage step by step.

"What... What are you doing? Think carefully before you speak!" He Ming's voice trembled.

Zhou Ping dared not look at him. Taking a deep breath, he faced the audience and said, "I am He Ming's younger brother-in-law. I can testify that every word Chairman Chen said is true. This time, it was him who leaked Hanjiang's offer to Binhai to Changhong Trading. I have a low education, just high school, and I only recently found out that he was breaking the law. I've already reported it to the police."

"What did you say! You scoundrel! Ungrateful backstabber! Without me, you'd still be farming! And you betrayed me!" He Ming's emotions escalated, and he hysterically cursed, indirectly confirming Zhou Ping's words.

Zhou Ping still dared not look at him and said with a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law, I'm doing this for your own good. I can't bear to see you continue down the wrong path. I can't let it happen. You can rest assured that I'll take care of the company and your sister."

This guy really knows how to act.

"For my own good! To hell with your good intentions! Hahaha... Chen Han, you win, you win!" He Ming burst into laughter as if he had gone mad.

At that moment, several police officers entered the venue and presented their police badges to He Ming. "He Ming, you are suspected of multiple crimes in your official capacity. Please cooperate with our investigation."

He Ming weakly sat down on the ground and was then escorted out by the police.

"No! I don't want to go to jail! I surrender! Officers, I surrender, sob, sob, sob..."

After being dragged for a while, He Ming suddenly struggled, wailing and begging for mercy.

But the police remained unmoved. As he was being dragged out of the venue, his cries abruptly stopped.

The whole place fell into a terrifying silence. This series of events left their minds struggling to comprehend.

Yet they had all witnessed Chen Han's tactics, or rather, the tactics of the young master Zhao Yan behind him.

Although Zhao Yan may not be active in the world, his legend is now everywhere in the world.
