A few percent shareholder’s simple action made everyone present sit up straight and wait for the meeting to begin.
Although the old master was angry, he still calmed down and said,
“I plan to decide on the next chairman for today’s board meeting! Everyone present knows very well that the Bo Consortium has been managed by my eldest grandson in recent years. His achievements are extraordinary! Naturally, he is the most suitable candidate for the chairman!
I believe there’s nothing wrong with handing the company to him!
However, if you want me to hand the company to him, I only need him to agree to one request, which is to marry the eldest daughter of the Yuan family!
Whether it’s their family background or their private relationship, it’s for the long-term development of the company. Moreover, the two of them grew up together and have a strong relationship. In my opinion, it’s the best choice for the two of them to be together.”
No one was surprised to hear this. The few shares shook their heads and sighed helplessly.
Old Master’s intentions were no longer a secret.
Looking at the reaction of the meeting room, the old master chose to ignore it. Instead, he turned to Bo Jinchuan and said,
“Jingchuan, I’ll give you the right to choose. Do you want to be the chairman or not?”
Just as the old man finished speaking, the other shareholders hurriedly said,
“Chairman, business is business. How can you use their marriage as a bargaining chip? How can you mix the two?”
“Yes, and isn’t it obvious… Everyone knows about the relationship between the CEO and CEO Shen. Aren’t you forcing him?”
However, a few other shareholders said,
“But Old Master is right. Miss Yuan and the CEO are childhood sweethearts. It’s not that she has no emotional foundation. She knows everything about her character!”
“That’s right. From the perspective of benefits, Old Master has made it clear that Miss Yuan’s stand is also very clear! The Yuan family is prospering and the marriage with the Bo family is a strong alliance!”
Yuan Sichun clenched her fists nervously as she stared at the man sitting beside the old man.
There was no expression on his well-defined face, and his dark eyes were filled with unfathomable emotions.
Everyone hoped that he would make the right choice at the crucial moment.
However, as the real protagonist, he seemed to have no interest in the topic at hand.
“Jingchuan!”
The old man shouted in a deep voice and frowned at him. “You have to be clear about everything. As a leader, you have to prioritize the overall situation…”
Bo Jinchuan frowned as he looked at Shen Fanxing’s soft hand.
“No one can influence my decision. No one,” he said calmly, successfully changing the expressions of Yuan Sichun and Old Master Yuan. “If marrying Yuan Sichun is the so-called big picture, then I’m sorry. I’m not a qualified leader like you. I can’t prioritize the big picture!”
With that, he inserted his fingers into Shen Fanxing’s and held them tightly before standing up.
“I’m afraid I’m not fated to be the chairman. The Bo Consortium was built by the ancestors of the Bo family. I naturally have no say in front of you. He’s yours now. You can hand him to whoever you want!”
His tone was exceptionally calm, so calm that it made one panic.
In his eyes, the position of the chairman of the Bo Consortium was like a limited edition car model. He might be happy to have it, but he wouldn’t feel anything if he lost it.
But there was nothing.
Shen Fanxing smirked. Although the current situation didn’t allow her to be happy, she couldn’t help but feel happy.
Ji Fengmian noticed Shen Fanxing’s expression and his lips twitched.
With that, Bo Jinchuan pulled the chair behind Shen Fanxing and led her away.
After taking two steps, Bo Jinchuan suddenly stopped and looked at the old man.
“I don’t want the position of chairman. I believe that there won’t be a place for me in the Bo Consortium in the future. Since things have come to this, it’s necessary for me to be the CEO. I’ll take this opportunity to announce that from today onwards, I’ll voluntarily step down as the CEO of the Bo Consortium. From now on, everything related to the Bo Consortium has nothing to do with me…”
After saying that, the entire conference room erupted.
“CEO, why are you doing this!”
“CEO, you have to be careful and act impulsively!”
“You can’t decide that casually. CEO, don’t be impulsive!”
They could reluctantly accept that Bo Jinchuan wasn’t the chairman, but they couldn’t accept that he wasn’t the CEO of the corporation!
There were too many veterans in the company. The Bo Corporation was more outstanding in Bo Jinchuan’s hands than any other power.
Moreover, he had a project in the midst of preparation. If it went smoothly, the benefits would be immeasurable.
The project that the Yuan Corporation was discussing could ensure that the Yuan family would prosper for a long time. If the collaboration between the Bo Consortium and the Shengshi Group was successful, it would be easy for them to surpass the Yuan family.
She had thought that this collaboration would be settled before the scheduled meeting, but she did not expect the Old Master to suddenly bring the meeting forward.
“Brother!” Even Bo Jinghang stood up instantly. His usually cynical face was now stern.
Bo Jinchuan replied calmly, “I’ve thought it through.”
With that, he held Shen Fanxing’s hand and left the meeting room.
Old Master Bo’s expression changed drastically, but he tried his best not to flare up. However, when he saw that Bo Jinchuan had given up all decision-making rights in the Bo Consortium and was about to leave, he stood up abruptly and glared at his eldest grandson, whom he had always been proud of. His vision blurred and his body swayed violently.
“Bo Jinchuan! You really want to give up the Bo Consortium for a woman? You…”
“Weren’t you the one who forced him to give up the Bo Consortium for a woman?”
Shen Fanxing’s cold voice sounded.
Everyone’s gaze landed on her.
The old man’s eyes darted around and landed on her!
“Do you have the right to speak here?! You’re very pleased and happy to see Jinchuan disobey me time and time again because of you and even let go of the Bo Consortium’s inheritance rights!”
The entire conference room fell silent again.
Shen Fanxing ignored the Old Master’s anger and smiled faintly.
“Of course I’m happy.”
How could she not be happy when the man valued her so much?
The old master was infuriated by Shen Fanxing’s attitude. “You’re indeed a scourge! Jinchuan has given up so much for you. What can you do for him? How are you worthy of him? What right do you have to stand by his side?! What right do you have…”
“Because he loves me.”
Shen Fanxing’s words cut off the old man’s tirade.
Everyone was silent, but their hearts were in turmoil.
However, these words were the most irrefutable reason.
The old man was stunned for a moment, while Yuan Sichun’s eyebrows twitched violently. Anger surged in her heart.
“Miss Shen!” Yuan Sichun suddenly said.
“So you clearly know Brother Bo’s feelings for you, but you still insist on doing things your way?! You watched him lose everything for you?!”
“Miss Yuan, do you know what it means to put the cart before the horse? If you didn’t use the Yuan family’s influence to pester me, everything wouldn’t have happened.”
Yuan Sichun gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Fanxing viciously.
“Are you that unwilling to face reality? My Yuan family can give the Bo family a more stable future. How can you compare to me?”
Shen Fanxing looked down at her watch and smiled. “You’re talking about reality? Sure, I’ll show you what reality is…”
