He Xingdong's eyes were full of worry.

For the first time in his life, he felt a deep sense of frustration and regret.

Not just him, even Shen Dongshan had a solemn and ugly expression.

He never imagined that Wang Chao would be so eloquent, and with just a few words, they were thoroughly defeated.

He dared not speak out for He Xingdong, and could only stare angrily at Wang Chao.

Seeing everyone from Shen Dongshan's faction feeling so defeated, Shen Bing was filled with joy, but maintained a calm demeanor and said, "Okay, Minister Wang, Minister He was just joking with you, trying to liven up the atmosphere of the meeting, so don't take it too seriously."

He Xingdong was overjoyed when he heard this.

He knew that Shen Bing was giving him a way out, and quickly spoke up, "Yes, yes, that's what I meant, Minister Wang, you've misunderstood me."

Wang Chao glanced at Shen Bing, expressionless, and said in a calm voice, "I was just joking with you too, why take it so seriously?"

"Yes, yes, we were all just joking, don't take it seriously." He Xingdong smiled at the others.

The others looked at each other, but everyone present was a smart person with rich work experience, how could they not see through the situation?

After seeing that Shen Bing was not pursuing the matter any further, they all laughed and some even applauded, resolving the conflict in a subtle way.

He Xingdong finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, his back drenched in cold sweat.

If Shen Bing had pursued the matter, even if Shen Dongshan had tried his best to protect him, his reputation in the company would have hit rock bottom.

Damn it!

It's all Wang Chao's fault!

He clenched his fists, wishing he could chop Wang Chao into minced meat!

In his view, everything was Wang Chao's fault. If Wang Chao had just let them bully him, then there would be no problem!

Wang Chao sat behind He Xingdong and could clearly see the sweat soaking through his back. He calmly said, "Minister He, words spoken in haste can cause harm. Be careful what you say."

"Shut up!" He Xingdong turned around and glared fiercely at Wang Chao.

Just as he was about to say something, Shen Bing spoke up, "Today's meeting doesn't have much content, mainly we want to see what everyone's development plans are for the second half of the year."

"Feel free to speak your mind and share your ideas."

With her words, many people at the scene began to speak freely.

It was clear that every department head had their own ideas and a deep understanding of their respective departments, and they put forward many thoughts.

After the conflicts were resolved, the atmosphere of the meeting became very harmonious and the discussions were very intense.

In the end, Shen Bing decided on the company's development for the next few years: focusing on pharmaceuticals.

After this direction was set, Liu Yifei was pushed to the forefront and became the company's top executive, specifically responsible for the research and development of new drugs.

Then, Shen Bing smiled slightly and looked at Wang Chao. "Next, let me introduce a new colleague to everyone. His name is Wang Chao, and he is the vice department head of the security department that I specially promoted."

"Everyone, please get closer to Minister Wang and cooperate with him more."

As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Chao and gave him a look.

Wang Chao could only stand up and smile and greet everyone present.

"Hello, Minister Wang."

"I can tell just by looking at Minister Wang that he is an outstanding person. He's truly remarkable."

"Minister Wang is really handsome. He looks like a person who knows martial arts. We will definitely have a pleasant cooperation with Minister Wang in the future."

As Wang Chao stood up, many people at the scene showed him sincere smiles.

Even many female executives and vice executives were looking at Wang Chao with shining eyes.

Wang Chao was very handsome, strong, and had a rugged appearance. He exuded a masculine aura that was very fascinating.

After introducing himself, Wang Chao sat down amidst applause from the crowd.

However, his actions in the meeting room had already attracted the attention of many people, leaving a deep impression.

"Alright, today's meeting is over. Minister Wang, come to my office later. That's it, adjourned!"

Shen Bing stood up, glanced at Wang Chao, and left with her secretary.

After Shen Bing and her secretary left, Shen Dongshan also gave Wang Chao a fierce look and said in a low voice, "He Xingdong, come to my office too."

After speaking, he left directly.

He Xingdong followed him without saying a word, leaving the meeting room.

After they left, the scene immediately became very lively.

"Minister Wang, nice to meet you. I am Zhang Dong from the sales department. I would like to invite you to have lunch with me this afternoon. Do you have time?"

"Minister Wang, I am Little Zheng from the public relations department."

"Come on, Minister Wang, have a cigarette."

Many supervisors came over, surrounded Wang Chao with enthusiasm, flattery all over their faces.

Some wanted to invite him to dinner, and some handed him cigarettes respectfully.

They could all see that Shen Bing was clearly supporting Wang Chao, making him the deputy minister now, and they didn't know what kind of business Shen Bing would give him in the future.

So they had to flatter Wang Chao as soon as possible and leave a good impression.

Otherwise, when Wang Chao soared, they would not be able to flatter him anymore.

"Okay, okay, we'll definitely have a gathering when there's a chance."

Wang Chao didn't refuse anyone who came to him, and he accepted the cigarettes handed to him. He handled things smoothly, and when everyone had gotten to know each other fairly well, he said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I have to go find President Shen."

Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, many people at the scene dared not obstruct him any further.

Wang Chao left the crowd and came to Shen Bing's office. He closed the door casually, sat in front of Shen Bing, and stared at her, who was working hard.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Bing raised her head and smiled.

"Why did you suddenly propose me as the deputy minister?" Wang Chao asked.

"You saved my life before, and now you are working under my hand. I have to find a way to repay you," Shen Bing said with a smile.

Wang Chao saw through her and said directly, "Okay, stop pretending. You promoted me just to use me as a weapon to deal with Shen Dongshan and He Xingdong."

"I can understand why you did that, but the problem is that you did it without asking for my opinion. It's simply despicable!" Wang Chao continued.

"What did you say?" Shen Bing was surprised to be criticized like this for the first time.

"I said you were despicable!" Wang Chao said.

Shen Bing frowned slightly and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I will apologize to you and reissue your work if you are not willing to do it."

She valued Wang Chao's abilities and believed that he could help her break the deadlock and consolidate her position in the Shen family. That's why she made the decision without consulting Wang Chao.

Now she sees that Wang Chao seems unhappy, and she doesn't want to offend him, so she can only apologize cautiously.

"Who said I didn't agree?"

Wang Chao smiled slightly and said, "Let's make a deal. In the future, I will help you eliminate competitors, consolidate your position, and do some things that you cannot do. However, you also have to promise me one thing."

"You say it," Shen Bing was delighted.

As long as Wang Chao is willing to cooperate with her, eliminate competitors, even if it's one hundred conditions, she can promise Wang Chao.

"I don't want money, but I want you to promise me to take care of my parents and family in the future!" Wang Chao said seriously.

Shen Bing was stunned, "What do you mean? Are you proposing to me and asking me to marry you?"
