Inside the meeting room.
Miao Zijiang looked at his brother, who was covered in blood, and then glanced at Zhang Taotao, who had placed the gun on the table. After being silent for three or four seconds, he said expressionlessly, "Send him to the hospital!"
On the ground, veins popped up on Miao Ziwei's forehead. He endured the pain and said to his elder brother, "She...she is lying. She was the one who brought Su Tiannan to the island! Give me five days, and I will come to see you with Su Tiannan's confession!"
No one could interrupt the conversation between the two brothers, including Mr. He from the shareholders' meeting, who stood aside with a calm expression and no attitude.
"Are you deaf?! I told you to send him to the hospital!" Miao Zijiang shouted angrily at the security personnel.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people immediately stepped forward to help Miao Ziwei up.
“Brother, she…!” Miao Ziwei wanted to say something, but was directly taken away by the security personnel.
Miao Zijiang turned his head and looked at Zhang Taotao and the others, and said concisely: "The company will set up an investigation team. You should hand over all the evidence in your hands to them. The final result will be judged by the upper-level military intelligence unit. What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. That's it, let's disperse!"
After saying this, Miao Zijiang started to leave without any communication with Zhang Taotao.
"Just do your job." Zhang Taotao instructed the people from the appraisal company and left the conference room.
For the entire day, the appraisal company hired by Zhang Taotao was conducting asset estimates at the Baolong Group's headquarters, acting as if they were determined to thoroughly sort out the accounts for Mr. Zhang.
…
No words during the day.
At around 7pm, in a hospital, Miao Zijiang walked to the intensive care unit with his hands behind his back. A man following him whispered, "The injury is serious. He may be disabled."
“… Lame?” Miao Zijiang turned his head and asked.
The man paused, not daring to respond directly, but just nodded.
When Zhang Taotao shot Miao Ziwei, he did not hold back at all. The bullet hit his knee and broke the bone.
Miao Zijiang didn't say anything, but quickened his pace, pushed the door and entered the intensive care unit. The others stood at the door and closed it without following him in.
In the ward, a strong smell of alcohol was everywhere. Miao Ziwei was lying on the bed with a pale face. When he saw his elder brother coming in, he turned his head towards the window without saying a word.
Miao Zijiang came to the bedside, slowly pulled a chair and sat down: "Are you feeling better?"
Miao Ziwei still did not respond. He looked at the window with melancholy and tearful eyes.
Miao Zijiang frowned: "I'm talking to you."
Miao Ziwei looked like a mute with his mouth sealed, his expression aggrieved and tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.
"…!" Miao Zijiang was furious when he saw him like this, but considering that he would be disabled after being shot, he suppressed his negative emotions: "Alas, this bullet, consider it as you taking it for me."
When Miao Ziwei heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched: "I... I can't figure out why you don't deal with her, she is just lying!"
"Do you want to kill her?" Miao Zijiang asked immediately when he saw his reply.
“…!” Miao Ziwei’s mouth was covered again and he did not dare to answer the question directly.
"You've gone too far." Miao Zijiang whispered, "Do you think... you're suppressing only Zhang Taotao? Do you know...!"
"Brother, who am I doing this for?" Miao Ziwei turned his head suddenly: "Don't I also want to take down Zhang Taotao, kick her out, and slowly disintegrate the group of shareholders?"
Miao Zijiang was disdainful of his statement, because he knew that the latter had no intention of dismantling any shareholders' meeting, nor was he thinking about the family. He simply wanted to gain power and wealth for himself and eliminate his competitors.
However, Miao Zijiang certainly cannot show this kind of inner psychological activity. He is already like this? Why are you still arguing with him? You have to give him some way out, right
"The idea is good, but the specific method is wrong." Miao Zijiang looked at him and said, "You should say hello to me first!"
"... I thought that my firing did not mean it was your intention." Miao Ziwei also had a set of arguments: "This way you can advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and you don't have to look at the face of the shareholders' meeting, but I didn't expect... Zhang Taotao and Wang Zhen's men...!"
Miao Zijiang cursed in his heart, "Advance and retreat in order, damn coin, what a mess you have left for me now? I am now in a dilemma!"
"I underestimated her, but this matter is not over yet. I have already discussed it with Price, and I plan to hand Su Tiannan over to him...!"
"Stop, okay?!" Miao Zijiang looked at him impatiently and said, "What else do you want to hand over? You can't touch Zhang Taotao now, do you understand? It's already this time, and you're still thinking about her shares? Do you know that Zhang Taotao is already doing asset liquidation? Many people at the shareholders' meeting expressed their opinions that if Zhang Taotao withdraws from Baolong, they will also find a time to withdraw their shares!!"
"But… !"
"But what?" Miao Zijiang said coldly, "That's it. Do you understand?"
Miao Ziwei clenched his fists: "Then what is my leg?"
"Count it on me, I owe you a leg!" Miao Zijiang stood up, looked at him and said, "Be quiet! You and I have the same last name, if the people in the group are dissatisfied with you, then they are dissatisfied with me!"
After saying that, Miao Zijiang turned around and walked outside: "... You, as a big brother, are not omnipotent. I feel sorry for you, but I can't spoil you anymore."
…
An hour and a half later.
Miao Zijiang sat in a tea room and reached out to pour a cup of tea for Zhang Taotao: "You can't leave. The group can't do without you."
Zhang Taotao said nothing.
"The mining industry will be left to you, and you will be the main person in charge of the subsequent negotiations." Miao Zijiang said as if talking to himself: "As for the problems on the island, just bury them completely like the dead."
"The gunman was less than ten centimeters away from me, and the bullet just grazed my scalp." Zhang Taotao looked at Miao Zijiang and said, "CEO, if it were you... could you let it go?"
Miao Zijiang raised his head and looked at Zhang Taotao: "Taotao, this matter... Uncle Suan begs you!"
After saying that, Miao Zijiang pushed the teacup over, looking haggard: "You and Xiaowen grew up here with me. In the final analysis, the shareholders are not your relatives!"
Zhang Taotao looked at him: "Okay, I won't leave!"
Miao Zijiang did not ask whether Zhang Taotao brought Su Tiannan to the island, because it was no longer important.
Why did Zhang Taotao dare to shoot Miao Ziwei? Was it just out of anger and revenge? Actually, it's not that simple!
Because Zhang Taotao knew very well that the people at the shareholders' meeting also wanted to fire this shot, to warn others and to deal with the unscrupulous Miao Ziwei!
After the two talked for half an hour, they left. Zhang Taotao took over all matters of the mining company and presided over the subsequent negotiations with Li Mingsheng's team!
At the same time, due to the feud with Miao Ziwei, Zhang Taotao's position in the group changed completely, and an intangible, invisible, but real rift appeared in her relationship with the Miao family.
…
One day later.
Zhang Taotao arrived at Longcheng and looked at Su Tianyu and said, "Miao Ziwei let slip your eldest brother's information at the meeting. He can't get out for the time being, but I can guarantee his safety. After the negotiations are over, I will slowly operate him!"
