Jiang Yongran looks at Ren Xing confusedly. He doesn’t understand. He can’t understand why the situation was reversed suddenly within a few minutes!
When Ren Xing finds that Jiang Yongran stares at him while Xia Ning also knows his secret, he feels very anxious. Everyone doesn’t want their secrets to be known by other people and it becomes even more hateful when someone threatens them with those secrets.
Ren Xing looks directly at Jiang Yongran in his eyes for a while. Then, he snorts and turns his head away.
Jiang Yongran feels very confused about that!
“Chairman Ren.” Jiang Yongran says slowly, “I only want to remind you that we should be faithful. Or, it may cause some bad consequences. President Zhou was kind to all of us. She passed away now. We should unite to manage Junhao Group instead of creating splits within the company!”
What Jiang Yongran says is to warn Ren Xing. If he doesn’t support Jiang Yongran, Jiang Yongran will reveal his mistress issue. He also implies that Xia Ning is the person who creates splits.
Ren Xing feels shocked. Subconsciously, he turns to Xia Ning for help.
It bangs. Xia Ning heavily puts down the teacup on the table.
“Jiang Yongran!” Xia Ning has sat here for over half an hour and she has restrained herself for half an hour, too. She says, “You mentioned that we needed to be faithful and since President Zhou had passed away, we should unite and not create splits, didn’t you? I think these words are more suitable for you to tell yourself.”
Not expecting that Xia Ning will speak so hard on him, Jiang Yongran feels a little guilty and his voice sounds less convincing, “Assistant Xia, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Xia Ning shakes her head to smile, “We have closed the door of the meeting room here. Those who are sitting here are all shareholders of Junhao Group. They are the direct decision-makers. Then, we may talk frankly. Jiang Yongran, I may ask you again. Do you give in or not?”
Xia Ning is openly warning him. Jiang Yongran feels uncertain inside his heart. However, he has got to this stage and he has prepared for so long a time while he also has done quite some irretrievable things. If he retreats now, he will have nothing left.
“Give in or not? I have been working in Junhao Group for so long a time. Now, President Zhou passed away. It is natural for me to take over her position. Even if I give in, I can’t allow you to be the president!”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “Good. Jiang Yongran, listen to me, if you retreat now, you may still keep some of your dignity. Or, you may bear all the consequences by yourself.”
“Are you threatening me or warning me? If I say no, will you tell Yi Yunrui to come in here to kill me?”
Xia Ning hears him mention Yi Yunrui. She feels very furious. She forcefully slaps the table and stands up, “Jiang Yongran, don’t make yourself sound so righteous. Everyone, listen to me, whatever Jiang Yongran has got on you, I have them, too! If you go on supporting and following him, you may let me know now. However, I want you to know, that I won’t be responsible for what will happen to those who do so later! You may reserve your opinions. However, if so, you will be considered to give up your shares. Junhao Group doesn’t lack shareholders!”
Xia Ning says the words decisively. Everyone feels shocked and they turn to look at Jiang Yongran.
Jiang Yongran has known their secrets. But Xia Ning said just now that she also has whatever Jiang Yongran has. Did she mean that she also knows all the secrets of them?
If they don’t take a side, they will be considered to give up their shares…If they take the wrong side with the wrong person, they would be responsible for the consequences themselves… That is a tough choice.
Everyone feels as if they are standing at a crossroad of their life. A path leads to heaven while the other leads to hell. If they make a wrong choice, they will end up in everlasting perdition.
Everyone feels confused. They glance at each other and no one speaks.
“Xia Ning, what are you doing? Are you trying to press the shareholders? I may remind you that it is illegal and against the rules!”
“What you do is illegal and against the rules!” Xia Ning stares at Jiang Yongran, “An Zihao, Ren Xing supports me now. Do you stand on my side?”
An Zihao finds that he becomes the first one to be questioned. He shrugs his shoulders, “Well. I did say so. I will keep my words. I support you to take over as the president of Junhao Group.”
Excluding Zhou Mengyao’s shares, An Zihao and Ren Xing’s shares account for almost twenty percent of the whole shares of Junhao Group. Jiang Yongran has ten percent of the shares while other small shareholders hold the other twenty percent. Therefore, the result depends on the other small shareholders.
The air seems to be frozen. Xia Ning glances at the people there, “You are given five minutes to decide. We will vote in five minutes.”
At the time, someone knocks at the door of the meeting room. Yi Yunrui comes in, followed by Zhang Hai and Jing Shu.
Everyone feels surprised about Yi Yunrui’s coming directly into the meeting room.
Jiang Yongran feels displeased in his heart. When he sees Yi Yunrui coming in, he can’t help saying, “Mr. Yi, it doesn’t seem suitable for you to attend commercial activities, does it?”
Yi Yunrui glances at him coldly and makes no responses. He goes directly to his wife. He tenderly strokes her hair. Jing Shu, who comes in after him puts down a cup of warm milk and some freshly-make cake.
“Ning is at the early stage of pregnancy. I am afraid that she may feel hungry. I bring some food to her. Mr. Jiang, do I bother you?”
Jiang Yongran feels stuck. He can’t respond for an instant.
“It has been over half an hour. Are you tired? Have some milk.” Yi Yunrui holds the milk for Xia Ning.
Xia Ning feels warm. She takes over the milk and drinks some. It is sweet, smooth and warm. She feels a sense of happiness.
Yi Yunrui glances at the people around. He says slowly, “Everyone, my wife is pregnant. She may be a little emotional. I hope you understand. By the way, considering the health of my wife, I hope you finish the meeting in ten minutes. If the problem can’t be solved in another ten minutes, I may interfere in it.”
Yi Yunrui’s words sound natural but overwhelmingly serious and everyone feels shocked.
“Sweetheart.” Yi Yunrui strokes Xia Ning’s face, “I will wait for you for another ten minutes outside.”
The time thirty minutes is not very long, but it is not short, either. It is the limitation of Yi Yunrui’s patience.
Yi Yunrui is actually a patient man. However, when it is about his wife, he can hardly bear to stay away from her for a minute, not to mention thirty minutes!
Xia Ning smiles, “Darling, don’t worry. I am fine.”
“They may agree or not. I only admit you as the president of Junhao Group.” Yi Yunrui says when he gently kisses his wife on her lips. Then, he whispers by her ear.
Xia Ning feels excited with the gentle touches. Her heart beats violently. When she hears what Yi Yunrui whispers, she narrows her eyes. It is time to end it.
“I may leave now. Remember, ten minutes.” Yi Yunrui points at his watch. He turns to Jing Shu, “Shu, you stay here.”
“OK.”
Yi Yunrui goes out and the door is closed again.
Jing Shu sits by Xia Ning. She whispers by Xia Ning’s ear, “Sister Xia, this cake is bought by Commander Yi in person. They are still warm. You may eat them before they turn cold.”
Xia Ning feels sweet. She nods and starts to eat the cake at ease.
She gives them five minutes. They still have some minutes to make the decision.
When he sees the affection of Yi Yunrui to Xia Ning, Ren Xing feels shocked!
Compared to Yi Yunrui who is celebrated, Xia Ning is a normal woman. However, what he does now shows sincere love and affection for her, which is real with not even a drop of falsity.
He doesn’t understand and can’t comprehend that, either.
Can there be true love between a superior man and a normal woman?
He may ignore other factors. Yi Yunrui is world-famous with remarkable achievements in the wars. Xia Ning is able to gain his love. She is marvelous.
Therefore, the woman Xia Ning is not a normal one. Even Yi Yunrui is at her service. Ren Xing wonders what he is worried about.
Thinking about this, Ren Xing initiatively stands up. He turns to the shareholders, “Everyone, five minutes have passed. Everyone, you all heard what Yi Yunrui said just now. He will only wait outside for another ten minutes. So, we have five minutes to vote and draw a conclusion. Time is tight and we may skip all the formulas. We will vote by raising our hands, which means yes. However, I may remind you of one thing. When you raise your hand to vote, please abandon all the bias and do it on the principles of fairness, justice and openness. Now, let’s vote.”
Ren Xing pauses and says, “We have two candidates for the president of Junhao Group, Jiang Yongran and Xia Ning. Those who support Jiang Yongran to take over the presidency of Junhao Group, please raise your hands to vote.”
It is silent in the meeting room. Everyone glances at each other. Some of them draw back their hands in the halfway when they find that others don’t do so.
In the end, no one votes to support Jiang Yongran.
Jiang Yongran feels shocked to see this result. He stares at Ren Xing.
Ren Xing turns his face away. He continues, “Those who support Xia Ning to be the president of Junhao Group, please raise your hand to vote! Attention please, those who don’t vote will be considered to give up his shares. Please think about it carefully. Now, please vote.”
Being reminded by Ren Xing, everyone raises their hands.
Ren Xing glances at the shareholders there and nods, “Supervisor An and I support Ms. Xia. Here comes the conclusion, Xia Ning’s taking over the presidency of Junhao Group is unanimously passed with no abstentions.” Ren Xing turns to Xia Ning, “So, congratulations! Ms. Xia, it is agreed by the meeting of shareholders that you will take over as the president of Junhao Group. Please allow me to handle the document transferring procedures. I will get all the legal documents ready as soon as possible. I hope you will lead the staff of Junhao Group to make a more glorious future.
Ren Xing has just finished his words and the audiences all clap their hands loudly.
Xia Ning smiles to nod. At this moment, she doesn’t give any sentimental speeches for her election. Instead, she stands up and goes to Jiang Yongran. She says word by word, “Jiang Yongran, you seem to sit in the wrong place. Excuse me, please.”
Jiang Yongran looks grey with anger. He looks angrily at the audiences and stands up with a fury. He goes away from the seat.
“Thank you.” Xia Ning goes to the president seat and sits down, “Jiang Yongran, you are not the president now, but you are still the general manager. So, if you don’t mind, please take the seat which I sat in just now.”
