A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 51 Equity

"Because...because..." Tang Qianqian was speechless for a moment, and then said, "Oh, Dad, you just can't match them up. If Sister Mengjuan marries him, she definitely won't be happy. I don't agree. They are just not suitable for each other."

"Oh?" Tang Guoqiang feigned surprise and asked, "Qianqian, then tell me, who is suitable for him?"

"This...oh dear, Dad..."

Tang Qianqian started to act coquettishly again, and Tang Guoqiang chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, Dad understands. It's getting late, go to sleep!"

"Oh! By the way, Dad, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, there are still many things waiting for me to take care of over there! Qianqian, Daddy will rarely come back here in the future. If you miss Daddy, go to Uncle Sun, he will let you contact Daddy."

"Oh, Dad, um... can I ask you a question?"

Tang Guoqiang smiled slightly and said, "What question? Ask away!"

Tang Qianqian hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed. After a while, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Dad, I heard Uncle say... he said he was framed by you and went to jail. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang gave a bitter smile and said after a moment, "I did not slander him. He brought this upon himself. Back then, he conspired to steal national cultural relics and smuggled them out of the country for illegal trade. When I caught him, he asked me to release him, but I did not agree."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian frowned slightly and asked, "And then what happened?"

Tang Guoqiang smiled, his expression showing sadness and helplessness, and said, "Later I locked him up and handed him over to a military court."

Tang Qianqian nodded, then asked, "Dad, was the Tang Group really founded by Uncle?"

Tang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "No, although Tang Group was founded by me and your Uncle Su and a few others, it is a state-owned enterprise."

"Huh?" Tang Qianqian was taken aback. She had always thought that the Tang Group was founded by her father, but she never expected...

Tang Guoqiang smiled slightly and said seriously, "There are some things I can't say too much about, just keep it to yourself."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian suddenly felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky, and giggled, "I knew it! Dad, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight!"

Tang Guoqiang nodded and smiled: "Good night!"

"Hello, Chairman!"

"Hello, Chairman!"

As soon as he arrived at work, everyone in the company greeted Chao Bufan warmly.

Sun Junzheng approached and greeted him with a smile, "Chairman."

Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "Manager Sun, is there something you need?"

Sun Jun nodded and said "Mm." Chao Bufan opened the office door, turned around and said, "Then come in!"

Once inside the office, the two sat on the sofa. Mao Mao made two cups of tea and then went into her own office.

"Manager Sun, there are no outsiders here, so please speak frankly!"

Sun Jun handed a document to Chao Bufan and said, "Chairman, Chairman Tang asked me to give this to you."

Upon seeing that it was a shareholding agreement, Chao Bufan accepted it without ceremony, glanced at it casually, and laughed, "Now that's what a real chairman should be like."

Sun Jun then produced another document: "And this, which Chairman Tang also asked me to give to you."

"Oh? There's more?" Chao Bufan took it, opened it, and immediately frowned. It was a map of the company's underground water system. Chao Bufan wasn't stupid; after all, he had spent eight years in the military, and he could understand some things at a glance.

What appears to be a map of sewer pipes is actually a map of an underground military base.

After glancing through it, Chao Bufan looked at Sun Jun and said, "Manager Sun, if I'm not mistaken, you're the one in charge of the handover between the higher-ups and the lower-ups!"

Sun Jun nodded and gave an undeniable "Mm".

Next, Chao Bufan learned some general information about the company's internal and external situation from Sun Jun. After Sun Jun left, Chao Bufan called Mao Mao out and said, "Mao Mao, notify the directors and managers of each department to come here for a meeting."

Mao Mao asked, "Chairman, shall we start the meeting now?"

"Well, now."

"Okay, I'll go and inform them right away."

ten minutes later……

Directors and managers from various departments, as well as the company's CEO, CIO, CTO, CFO, COO, and CGO, were all present.

With the exception of a few people, everyone was whispering among themselves, saying that the saying "a new broom sweeps clean" seemed to be true.

At this moment, Chao Bufan was completely different from before. Gone was his carefree, jovial demeanor; instead, he wore a serious expression. When he appeared at the conference room door, everyone immediately stood up and greeted him in unison, "Good morning, Chairman!"

Chao Bufan walked to the head seat with his head bowed. His hawk-like eyes swept over everyone's faces with an extremely dignified and cold light. Then he sat down, raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, saying, "Everyone has worked hard. Please sit down!"

Everyone took their seats. When Tang Qianqian saw Chao Bufan looking so serious and composed, with the air of a leader, she was slightly startled. She thought to herself, "What's wrong with this guy? He suddenly seems like a completely different person..." But he looks even more handsome like this.

After everyone was seated, Chao Bufan continued, "There are reasons why I called everyone here for this meeting. Firstly, as the chairman, I don't know much about our Tang Group, so I want to understand the actual situation of each department. Secondly, I don't know most of you here, so I'd like to take this opportunity to get to know each other. Does everyone agree?"

After he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads and said they had no objections. Of course, who would dare say they had any objections in front of the chairman? Unless they wanted to quit.

Chao Bufan nodded and continued, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Chao Bufan, Chao as in superhero, Bu as in different, and Fan as in ordinary. Tang Qianqian, you can skip this. You're the company's CEO, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian nodded and said, "Yes, Chairman."

Chao Bufan turned his gaze to the man next to Tang Qianqian and said, "This colleague, let's start with you! Just give a simple self-introduction."

The man smiled and said, "Chairman, I am Su Haijun, the company's CIO and the director in charge of internal and external information dissemination."

"Chairman, I am Liao Kongjun, the company's CTO and the director in charge of the company's technology."

"Chairman, I am the company's CEO and Chief Financial Officer, Lü Tie."
