Free Web NovelChapter 76: Alchemist / 8.10 : The president
Huang walked to Eden and asked:
"What are you doing here?"
"Isn’t today the trimester’s meeting?"
"Yes."
"Then shouldn’t the president of the company attend it?"
Huang felt like slapping the shit out of him.
"Eden this isn’t a joke it’s an important meeting. You should go to the laboratory I’ll take care of it." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Huang stood before Eden waiting for him to stand up but he just looked at him like he would a clown.
"You have two options either sit down or leave the meeting."
Huang looked at him stunned, he took a breath thinking that tonight the company and the entire inheritance will be his. He took a seat on Eden’s left and gave a reassuring look at his allies around the table.
Eden looked at the projected screen with everyone as someone explained the state of the company. Z Elixir does extremely well, they’re known worldwide. Because they have the best Alchemist so they’ll never have an issue when it comes to selling. The problem comes from the mentality of the people running the company. Most Alchemists and board members are over 40 years old so they only focus on making certain elixirs and potions.
They could tap such a big market if they made more potions for younger people. They could even create a line of protective jewelry crystals, he knows that people would pay a lot for it. Since he is here now he’ll take the company to the 21st century.
When the man finished Eden plugged his computer into the projector and showed a slide as he explained: fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Starting in a couple of weeks Z elixirs will have a website where people will be able to order already created elixir and potions or personalizable ones. The price will vary depending on the elements put into it. We won’t just focus on health anymore, we’ll expand to cosmetics and products to improve hair growth, skin health, and other markets for younger people. I’ve already created a hair, skin, and jewelry line and the production will start tomorrow. I want Z Elixir to be used by anyone no matter their age, I want anyone who goes on our site to have something he or she would like to buy. Z Elixir will be any age-friendly."
They all looked at Eden stunned. A man said:
"Z Elixir has stores where people go and buy we don’t need a website."
Eden leaned back on his chair and said:
"That’s true but having a website will allow us to make more sales and touch a larger audience. Not everyone can fly to one of my shops to buy what they need. Even if my brand is known worldwide it doesn’t mean everyone can have access to the products but shipping will fix that."
They all looked at Eden disapprovingly. Another old man said:
"Your grandfather decided to open shops because only then will the client be able to speak to someone and be advised on the best remedy for their problem."
Eden chuckled:
"In this day and age, everyone knows what any elixirs and potions do. Even if it isn’t the case the website will be able to help with that. You’ll only have to answer a few questions and list your symptoms then you’ll be led to the best treatment for your illness. We’ll even have feedback allowing us to improve potions or elixirs."
Huang banged on the table and said:
"Feedback? Are you insane? Alchemists don’t need anyone to tell them how to improve let alone some people on the internet."
Everyone in the room echoed his words but the room became silent when Eden sneered:
"How would you know what Alchemists need? You failed at it more than once so keep your opinion to yourself. Unlike you, I can speak for Alchemists."
Huang’s face reddened in anger and humiliation. Never in his life did someone humiliate him like that, and it isn’t just anyone it’s his nephew. If he didn’t need him to finish his father’s experiment he would kill him right then and there. One of his allies said:
"Let’s vote to see who would like to keep Huang as the President."
Eden smirked:
"Sure. All those in favor of keeping Huang as a president raise their hand."
Everyone’s arm went up beside Eden’s and Huang’s. Huang looked at Eden condescendingly.
Eden said:
"All those in favor of me."
They all put their hand down. Huang couldn’t stop himself from chuckling.
"Oh, right I almost forgot to say before you vote..."
Huang looked at Eden with ridicule, it doesn’t matter what he says they’ll never vote for him.
"I think that having a younger president would be beneficial to the company."
Every cellphone in the room vibrated and they all looked at it. Huang couldn’t understand why they focused on their cellphone at a moment like that. Eden ordered:
"Focus."
They all put their cellphone away and Eden said:
"All those in favor of having me as the president instead of Huang say yay."
Huang looked around the room wide-eyed as they all said yay.
He looked at them and yelled:
"What are you doing? He’s going to destroy the company with all his terrible deas."
Before anyone could say anything Eden explained:
"Just so you know the votes were useless. I own 80% of the shares meaning I can solely make the decisions regarding MY company without considering any of you old people."
Eden just wanted to destroy Huang’s self-esteem before he burry him and show the board members that he is not to be messed with.
They act like they are pillars of society when most of them are creeps, he made it clear that he would destroy them after digging up dirt if they try anything.
"Don’t mess with me or you’ll pay. Have I made myself clear?"
He looked around the table and they all nodded. Eden smiled sweetly and ordered:
"Leave this meeting is over."
Huang looked at them leave speechless. What the hell happened? And how did Eden know that since he owns 80% of the shares he can make any decision he wants? He looked at him with narrowed eyes. He underestimated him but so did Eden. Tonight he’ll pay. Huang stood up and left slamming the door behind him.
Eden sat in the private room of the restaurant waiting for Yan. He saw him leave this morning too and he can’t wait to see his face. Plus he feels better now that he talked to his husbands and he knows that they are okay with him dealing with him the way he sees fit. But first, he’ll let Yan deal with his family, and Eden will gladly accept his help.
He looked up from his cellphone when Yan entered. He smiled at him. Yan’s bad mood vanished when he saw the lovely smile on his face. He smiled and took a seat in front of him.
"How are you? Did you sleep okay?"
Eden looked at him uncomfortably then away and said:
"I-I’m okay."
Yan felt bad and swore that as soon as he is done with Eden’s family he’ll deal with his brothers.
Eden coughed and asked:
"What about you?"
Yan stood up and sat next to Eden.
"I’m okay. Will you have dinner at your house tonight? I want us to have dinner together."
Eden smiled.
"If you want me to."
"I do."
"Then I’ll be there."
Yan smiled.
Huang looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn’t stop himself from smiling, he dressed especially well for this dinner. When he was done he left for the dining room. He smiled at his wife and daughter. Their eyes were sparkling and they looked just as excited as him. He kissed them and sat next to Zihan. They all looked at Eden with a bright smile when he entered with Yan. Eden took a seat at the head of the table and Yan sat on his left.
Eden looked at Huang who was on his right and smiled sweetly. Huang smiled back. When the someone rang Eden frowned. Yan looked at Eden then he said:
"I’ll go check who it is."
Eden smiled and he left.
Yan sent the help away and opened the door. He became furious when he saw who it was.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhenxuan smirked:
"We thought we’d come to see your future family."
Yan was bout to block the door.
"This isn’t a good day comeback ano..."
Before he finished the twins pushed him out of the way and walked to the dining room.
Yan closed the door and followed them. He was trembling in anger when he saw that Zhenxuan had taken his seat. Zishu sat next to him after moving Yinglun. Yan sat at the end of the table with her. He felt a little better when Eden smiled at him, he smiled back and his eyes softened.
Eden looked at the twins when he felt their eyes on him. He smirked when he saw how angry they were. He’s been more than nice with them considering so they should be happy he doesn’t do more. The maids added plates and food was served.
Huang ate with great pleasure, he touched his pocket making sure he has the contract he had drawn. He doesn’t give a damn that the twins are here today Eden is going down.
