Boardmember Geng didn’t give in to Ruan Guosheng and blurted out Ruan Guosheng’s inner goal.
The entire room went into an awkward silence. Ruan Guosheng’s face was dark and serious and his hands, which were hidden under the table, were clenched into tight fists.
In Ruan Guosheng’s mind, he had already delivered the death blow to Boardmember Geng. But, right now, there were too many people watching. After this meeting ended, he promised that he would never let Geng see the rising sun again.
Boardmember Geng wasn’t at all afraid at seeing the murderous look in Ruan Guosheng’s eyes. From his viewpoint, Ruan Guosheng was just a greedy bastard born of a mistress.
If Ruan Guosheng had controlled his table manners and hadn’t brought his family, then Geng wouldn’t have gone against him like this.
Qin Shi sat in a high chair and watched the situation below her and said, in a cold voice, “Our Ruan Family is too benevolent, and has raised a dog that only knows how to bare his teeth at his owner!”
Qin Shi’s words once again sent the room into an awkward silence. Boardmember Geng’s face soured. Was Qin Shi calling him a dog?
When Qin Shi stopped talking, Old Fifth added, flatteringly, “Exactly, Sister-in-law, you’re right!”
Qin Shi was extremely happy at hearing Old Fifth acknowledge her as sister-in-law. For the past few decades, everyone had acknowledged her as Qin Shi and some would call her Madam Qin. But no matter the respectful title, they were all unrelated to the Ruan Family.
Today, Old Fifth had acknowledged Qin Shi as Sister-in-law, not merely because he wanted to flatter her, but also because he wanted to prove himself to Ruan Guosheng.
Qin Shi nodded at Old Fifth, satisfied. “Old Fifth, you sure are smart.”
After Old Fifth, an elder, acknowledged Qin Shi as Sister-in-law, the atmosphere in the meeting room became weird.
What did that mean? Were they completely transforming the Chairman’s family?
Was that appropriate?
Wasn’t there something improper about this?
Won’t the Chairman become angry when he finds out?
Or perhaps the Chairman has secretly approved of it? If not, then why hasn’t he appeared even now?
Normally, there was no way Ruan Qishan wouldn’t know about such a large meeting.
In reality, the shareholders and clan members had tried to contact Ruan Qishan, but couldn’t get a hold of him.
They couldn’t stop this situation. They couldn’t be as frank as Boardmember Geng.
Seeing that the shareholders were hesitant and were weighing the pros and cons, Ruan Guosheng looked at Boardmember Geng antagonistically. In this matter, there was one thing that he had over Boardmember Geng,
That was, he was from the Ruan Family and was, not just in name, but also in reality, the son of the old man. This was something that that Geng could never achieve, no matter what he did.
Being deadlocked didn’t solve the problem, and so Boardmember Geng said, “How about this, we’ll raise our hands to vote. Those who vote for Ruan Guosheng to temporarily represent the Chairman, please raise your hands.”
Ruan Guosheng squinted his eyes. He’d noticed that Geng had used the word “represent” and not replace.
Okay, Geng, playing with phraseology here, ey?
Did he think that no one would be able to hear his play on words?
But Ruan Guosheng didn’t care much about the way things were written down. Ruan Guosheng was already dead and no one would go against him. Who cares if he was just a representative for now? And after the meeting ended, he would let the KSI members get rid of Geng.
Then, he would change from simply being a representative to a permanent replacement!
“Okay. I don’t have any objections. Raise your hands to vote.” Ruan Guosheng confidently said.
Ruan Guosheng’s confidence worried Boardmember Geng. But, at that moment, the doors to the meeting room opened.
Christine had opened the door. Because she was Ruan Zeyan’s assistant, Ruan Guosheng hadn’t allowed her to attend the meeting.
But Christine had barged in herself.
“Who let you in!” Ruan Guosheng asked coldly.
“I did!”
