Leng Jinjie shouted, “Leng Qirui, you’re so cruel! You won’t even let your grandpa and grandma off just so you can get your hands on their 20% shares. How dare you inherit their property? I refuse to accept this! I refuse to recognize this 20%!”
Leng Qirui was not angry at his aunts for embarrassing him at all. He anticipated everything that happened today. Once Nuannuan and Selina were done with their side of the work, his job would be completed too.
Mr. Ma’s business-like voice sounded again. “Ms. Leng Jinjie, this is the shares that the former Chairman Leng personally transferred over to Mr. Leng Qirui. There is no coercion and no threat—everything is done in a fair and open manner according to his and Madam’s wishes. It’s useless even if you claim not to recognize it. The current chairman of Leng Group is Mr. Leng Qirui.”
Leng Qirui slammed his figurative gavel and announced, “Since we already know where the 30% shares are at and I’m the one with the most shares, can I appoint a new CEO now?”
“Yes, Chairman Leng.”
Leng Qirui smiled and said, “Then, let’s welcome our new CEO, Mr. Luo Cheng.”
Then, he started clapping without anyone else joining in.
Leng Jinjie, “…”
Leng Jinchen, “…”
Ye Hai, “…”
Luo Cheng was not surprised at all by the fact that there were only four directors present. He smiled and introduced himself appropriately, “Dear Mr. Chairman and directors, nice to meet you. I’m Luo Cheng, and I used to work for…”
Luo Cheng rambled on for a long time, sending the faces of the three sinking lower and lower.
“In the future, I’ll lead everyone in senior management, middle management, and all employees of the company in following Chairman Leng’s orders. With Chairman Leng’s far-sighted strategic plan, Leng Group will flourish. At the same time, I hope that the directors will help ease my future work.”
Leng Qirui nodded in satisfaction and said to Luo Cheng, “Mr. Luo, please take a seat.”
“Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”
Leng Qirui looked at the three grim faces under the podium. He was very satisfied with his position as chairman.
“The appointment of CEO is our first topic of discussion at today’s board meeting.”
Topic of discussion?
Discussion my ass!
He was clearly taking advantage of the fact that he owned the majority shares of 40% and making decisions on his own. Yet, he disguised them as topics of discussion…
Bah!
“The second topic of discussion today is to dismiss Vice President Leng Jinchen.”
“Leng Qirui!”
Leng Jinchen slammed the table and glared at him.
Leng Qirui pointed at Leng Jinchen. “This is the reason I fired her. As the company’s director and vice-president, Ms. Leng Jinchen has always been at odds with the chairman. Everyone knows that if a company is to progress, it’s best to avoid people who take advantage of their seniority and making decisions with their emotions, not their brains. Therefore, I suggest that Ms. Leng Jinchen be removed from her position as vice-president. The CEO, Mr. Luo Cheng, will recommend candidates for the post. As for the specifics, we’ll wait until the next board meeting. Those who agree, raise your hands.”
Although Luo Cheng was the CEO, he did not have any shares, so he did not have the right to raise his hand. As for the other three, everyone remained silent. No one raised their hand.
Ignoring Leng Jinchen’s murderous expression, Leng Qirui chuckled. “It’s not easy for my two aunts to get along with Ye Hai like today. Let me give you two a thumbs up for that.”
The three’s expressions darkened even further.
“Since no one wants to raise their hands, then we’ll proceed with this the same way we did the previous discussion. I have the most shares, so I have the final say.”
After saying that, Leng Qirui looked at Chen Shan who was long frozen in shock…
