Chapter 246 He Was Too Tired
e malice, supported the back of the unknown woman's head, kissing her in an almost flirtatious manner. Half of his face was illuminated by dark eyes that shone brighter than stars, playfully resting o...At the round table, people's expressions were rather odd.
Shen Xiujin's appearance remained unchanged.
But even though he concealed it well, people noticed his pale face.
Some people's eyes lit up with understanding... It seems that the past ten days for Shen Xiujin were also difficult.
Also right, in ten days, heaven and earth will be overturned.
Internally, the Shen crisis.
Externally, he abandoned his wife and persecuted the innocent daughters of the Jian family.
He—Shen Xiujin, a man who was once like a deity, had his divine altar conquered.
Mr. Shen finally spoke: "I'll ask you one last time."
Before Old Master Shen could ask.
"Don't ask." The man beside her said in a clear, firm voice.
"I know what the old man wants to ask me."
A pair of dark eyes, glided silently over the old man's faintly angry gaze:
"My answer, as always."
As always!
He said, "As before!"
The old man clenched his teeth tightly!
>
He slammed his cane against the ground, his anger reaching a boiling point and erupting into a bitter laugh:
Okay! Just as you always have.
"Good morning everyone. The purpose of today's Shen Group shareholders meeting is, I believe, clear to all of you. I won't beat around the bush."
His aged finger pointed at Shen Xiujin:
"Today, let's talk about my grandson!"
At the Round Table meeting, everyone let out a sigh of relief... It was finally time to settle accounts.
Master Shen beckoned, and his old butler stepped forward, handing him a brown paper bag. The master placed it on the table and recounted Shen Xiujin's three crimes.
"You are unrighteous to have damaged the reputation of the Shen family.
To ruin the reputation of the Shen family for generations, you are unrighteous.
The Shen clan is now in dire straits, you are incompetent.
The Shen Group, it absolutely cannot be entrusted to you people who are unrighteous, incompetent!
The old man snorted, "You still have the chance to resign voluntarily."
That is where the attitude lies.
All eyes were on the cold and aloof man who remained expressionless, speaking very little.
Lu Ming wouldn't be so foolish as to try and assert himself at this time.
He sat back and watched the spectacle, a look of unspeakable satisfaction in his eyes as he observed the grandfather and grandson engaged in their struggle.
Grandfather and grandson fight, fighting back and forth, the harder they fight, the better.
He caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure lurking outside the conference room door, a camera clutched in its hand. Lu Mingchu lowered his eyelids but made no mention of it.
Tomorrow's front page headline will undoubtedly be the inside story of the Shen family meeting, with a dramatic clash between the grandfather and grandson.
The crowd's gaze still fell upon the man at the head.
Suddenly, the man who had been motionless all along snapped his fingers. Behind him, an assistant as sturdy as iron appeared and presented a leather briefcase.
His eyes swept across each face at the conference table, devoid of any emotion, before he uttered in a flat tone:
"Everyone's time is precious, so why waste it on pointless chatter."
Since it's a shareholder meeting, it concerns the exemption and appointment of the head of the Shen family business.
He propped his hands under his chin, gazing ahead, and said softly:
I propose a direct vote.
Mr. Shen was amused to laughter!
By this point, "Should we vote" he scoffed. "Fine." He knew his grandson's stubborn pride and yet, the boy was blissfully unaware of his own blind confidence.
Since both the grandfather and grandson said to decide by voting.
At this juncture, no one else would dare to speak up in opposition.
As expected, after a round of voting, Shen Xiujin was the most popular choice.
Lu Mingchu's smile widened, becoming increasingly apparent. The look in his eyes as they landed on Shen Xiujin grew more and more sarcastic.
"The vote decides what you want," Old Master Shen said, "Is there anything else to say now"
During the three years of expansion, Shen Xiujin failed to properly reorganize the newly acquired territories. Furthermore, Old Master Shen had been secretly undermining him, causing his originally dominant equity stake to be diluted to only two-thirds over these three years.
Along with the votes of other shareholders, his shares add up to a controlling stake.
At the roundtable meeting, after the final shareholder weightings were announced, many people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They were also afraid that if they didn't kill the snake, it would bite them back.
As soon as the result was announced, many eyes looked at the once high-ranking man with scorn. The man, who was once unattainable and esteemed, now appeared increasingly pale in their eyes.
“Since the vote has been cast, then Shen Xiujin, please step down as CEO of Shen Corporation,” someone said viciously. After the results were announced, they excitedly stood up and sneered at Shen Xiujin: “Please pack your personal belongings and leave the company immediately. Please cooperate, or else, the security guards of Shen Corporation will come to ‘escort’ Mr. Shen away.”
"Who said that"
As everyone was in a state of excitement after their "victory," suddenly, a voice broke the silence in the conference room:
"I haven't voted yet."
When the voice rang out, Old Master Shen, Lu Mingchu, and everyone else in the meeting room abruptly turned their heads to look at the speaker.
"Zhang Da What are you doing!"
Zhang Da smiled and stood up, walking behind Shen Xiujin: "When did I say I would support the old man"
This still needs a statement!
People's eyes showed absurdity!
Isn't Zhang Da the leader, the first to stand with Old Master Shen
Who doesn't know what kind of incredible benefits Old Master Shen has given you!
Here, all these people have benefited, and they all know it, but Zhang Da is the one who has benefited the most.
"Zhang Da, what are you up to!" One of the shareholders exclaimed angrily, "Don't pretend to be a loyal minister! Everyone here knows what kind of person you really are, Zhang Da!"
His words were already disregarding the situation, and he spoke without restraint.
It's not his fault, it's just that if Zhang Da really betrays them now, then they will be the unlucky ones in the future!
Sheng Xiujin's disposition was well-known for its ruthlessness and cruelty.
They might not be able to do anything about these people in the short term, but when he has the time and opportunity, he will definitely not show them any mercy.
Zhang Da smiled with a face full of Maitreya Buddha, not at all angry at the words. That smile was peaceful as he said:
"Yes, everyone here knows what kind of person I am, Zhang. This whole S city, this business district, who doesn't know what kind of person I, Zhang, am"
He changed the subject, a cold glint in his smiling eyes:
But what you don't know is that Mr. Shen saved my life, Zhang Da!
He said coldly, "They all say I, Zhang Da, forget righteousness for money. But the wound on General Shen's shoulder was taken for me, Zhang Da. Even now, you can still see the faint scar there."
He said that, turned and respectfully faced Old Master Shen:
"Grandpa, whatever you're planning, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Everyone said Shen Xiujin was aloof, proud, and cold-hearted. But it was this very Shen Xiujin who, in his younger years, took a blade for Zhang Da, a mere nobody.
He, Zhang Da, had some money and some power, but compared to Mr. Shen, he was nothing at all. Even so, Mr. Shen didn't bat an eyelid and took the hit for him.
"Cough...cough cough cough!!!" Old Master Shen suddenly widened his old eyes, being taken aback by this Zhang Da's sudden change of allegiance. He was so angry that he coughed violently.
The old butler's face changed:
"Take care, old man!"
Mr. Shen's face turned pale then flushed red, several times he suppressed it before managing to hold back the dizziness: "It's nothing." He reached out and firmly stopped the old steward.
Lu Ming's face changed drastically.
They had anticipated the start of this meeting, but they hadn't anticipated its conclusion.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll drive you to the hospital." The old man's face wasn't right, his eyes rolled back.
Lu Ming knew in his heart that there was no need to stay any longer. He suddenly stood up, bent down and picked up the frail old Master Shen.
Shen Xiujin was still sitting in the same place, not even bothering to stand up.
The old butler walked to the conference room door, then suddenly turned back, gritting his teeth and snarling:
"That's your grandpa! How can you still sit there!"
After cursing, she chased after Lu Mingchu without looking back.
The conference room was gradually emptying.
Shen Er shouted, still addressing the motionless Shen Xiu Jin who remained seated in his armchair: "Boss, everyone's gone."
But the man sitting seemed to hear nothing.
"Shen Er, leave first." He commanded calmly.
Everyone thought Shen Xiujin was ruthless and unrighteous, but no one saw the slight tremble in Shen Xiujin's hand resting on his knee.
He didn't even bother to explain to the old butler and just as he was about to stand up to send his master to the hospital, suddenly darkness enveloped his vision.
The cell phone ringtone rang at the right time.
Pick up and answer.
On the phone, Bai Yu Xing asked, "Is it over"
On the phone, the man’s voice was flat: “Yeah.”
What's next
The misfortunes of the Shen family would not end with this shareholder meeting, turning defeat into victory.
There are still many things to deal with.
Shen's stock price is still plummeting.
Shen Xiujin's notoriety was still rampant.
These all need to be addressed by a shrewd and capable group leader.
"Go to sleep."
"Go to sleep..." Bai Yu walked absentmindedly, responding casually. The next moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "What did you say Sleep At this time"
"Yeah, sleep. I need to rest." On the phone, the man's face was incredibly cold and resolute: "I'm too tired, I have to let my body rest."
Bai Yu xing hearing this, chuckled lightly:
"It's really rare, even Shen Xiujin has times when he admits defeat and says he's tired."
"Yes, I'm too tired." At this moment, his eyes had already recovered their clarity: "You can't go against aging." If your body is too tired, you will feel fatigued. This time it was a temporary one-minute blindness, what about next time
He only knew that if his body fell before his thoughts, he would never again be able to stay by that woman's side.
He also thought, under the setting sun, he would comb her silver hair.
Bai Yu Xing listened to him say this with such seriousness, a deep rumble of laughter echoing in his chest: "Alright, you rest. I'll handle the rest."elt uneasy, her heart racing. She almost turned back several times, but thinking about Jian Mo Bai lying on the sickbed and Jian Zhen Dong who had already made it clear he was done with her, all her h...
