Upon hearing Zhang Ming's words, Li Donglai's face turned pale. He shot to his feet, his voice ice-cold. "Zhang Ming, are you out of your mind?"

"Mr. Chen Zheng is our new chairman. How dare you speak to him like that?"

His words left everyone utterly stunned, especially Sun Yan. She struggled to accept the reality before her. In her eyes, he had always been completely useless. Zixuan was even trying to divorce him. How did he suddenly become the chairman? How is this possible?

"Chen Zheng, what is this...?" Wei Zixuan asked, completely bewildered. She had never, in her wildest dreams, expected her husband to appear before her in such an extraordinary manner.

"You must be the chairman's wife. It's an honor to meet you, ma'am," Li Donglai said, quickly walking over to greet her courteously.

"I understand now! No wonder the chairman chose to collaborate with Tianwei Si Company. It was all for you! That explains everything!"

"Because... because of me? He chose Tianwei Si because of me?" Wei Zixuan was stunned.

"I was just discussing this with the chairman," Li Donglai quickly explained. "To be honest, among the three candidate companies, Tianwei Si didn't really have any significant advantage."

"If it weren't for you being at Tianwei Si, with the chairman's abilities and insight, he would have never chosen this company for the partnership!"

Hearing this, Wei Zixuan finally understood. No wonder she had so easily secured a partnership that everyone else had failed to negotiate. So, after all this, the one making the decisions behind the scenes was her own husband!

Zhang Ming had claimed he'd put in a good word for her with the chairman, but now it was clear that was all a lie to deceive her. The whole affair had nothing to do with him. As the realization dawned on her, Wei Zixuan's eyes began to moisten. All this time, her husband had been silently supporting her from the shadows, never once giving up on her!

"No, no, no!" Zhang Ming roared, refusing to accept it. "That's impossible! This guy is just a good-for-nothing. There's no way he's our new chairman!"

He had just secured this coveted position, admired by so many beautiful women. Now, the loser he had always looked down upon was standing over him. How could he possibly accept this?

"I'm calling President Feng right now! You've got some nerve, coming here to pull a scam like this! You must have some ulterior motive! I'll have you arrested! I'll call the police and make sure you're locked away for life!"

The chairman was appointed by the Feng Family. He refused to believe they would put such a worthless person in charge. Once he contacted Feng Yueyue, the truth would come out.

"Zhang Ming, I think the most worthless person here is you," a cold voice said. Just then, a woman with a cold demeanor and an extraordinary presence walked in, followed by a large group. Zhang Ming didn't need to make the call; Feng Yueyue had already arrived with her entourage.

"President Feng, your timing is perfect!" Zhang Ming exclaimed. "This guy is an imposter! He's pretending to be our chairman! Hurry, call the police and arrest him!" he shouted frantically, pointing at Chen Zheng.

Feng Yueyue, however, simply waved her hand. Several uniformed officers immediately approached Zhang Ming and swiftly handcuffed him.

"President Feng, what are you doing?" Zhang Ming stammered, completely dumbfounded. "He's the imposter! Why are you arresting me?"

A cold smirk touched the corner of Feng Yueyue's lips. "Why do you think?"

"Our group has been investigating the assets of the Ronghua Group. As part of that, we also looked into your division. There are three subsidiaries under it. You know exactly what you've done, don't you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ming froze, unable to speak for a long moment.

"You're probably wondering how I found out, aren't you?" Feng Yueyue continued. "You created various pretexts to transfer funds out of the parent company and then used those three subsidiaries to embezzle it. Did you really think such a childish trick could fool me?"

"I don't have the time to figure out the exact amount you embezzled. These officers will get the details from you."

Zhang Ming completely broke down. He knew he'd been caught, that everything he did had been uncovered. He just didn't understand how it had all happened so quickly and so suddenly. In a single day, he was utterly ruined.

"I didn't... I didn't do it!" he screamed. "Chen Zheng, you framed me, didn't you?"

"I'll get you for this if it's the last thing I do!" Zhang Ming roared as he was dragged away.

Wei Zixuan watched the entire scene unfold from the side, a blush on her cheeks and her heart pounding in her chest. That Zhang Ming, who seemed so respectable, was capable of such dirty deeds behind the scenes. It was terrifying!

"Ms. Wei," Feng Yueyue said, stepping forward to explain, "this Zhang Ming is a real scoundrel. That time at the restaurant, if Mr. Chen hadn't noticed something was wrong, you would have been in serious trouble, too."

Wei Zixuan stood frozen, stunned. She remembered that incident clearly. She had even argued with Chen Zheng about it, never once suspecting that her own husband was protecting her. The thought filled Wei Zixuan with an overwhelming sense of shame.

"Chen Zheng... I'm sorry..." she whispered, tears streaming down her face.

Chen Zheng smiled, walked over, and gently embraced her. "It's all in the past," he said softly. "Don't worry about it anymore."

At this, the assembled senior executives broke into applause, all of them smiling. The chairman is so good to his wife. This is the kind of ending we like to see!

Meanwhile, Wu Peng, Sun Yan, and the others from their company stood awkwardly to the side. They had come to sign a contract, but none of them could have imagined things would turn out like this.

"Chairman Chen..." Wu Peng began, his expression mortified.

This project was his last lifeline. His ability to pay his employees' salaries and clear his company's debts hinged entirely on today's outcome.
