Tang Chen said, "I want you to help me acquire more shares—as many as possible!"
Gu Yang, the executive who had called Lin Qingying and berated him over the phone, told only Lin Qingying that the investor had abandoned its investment plans, then immediately quit.
Therefore.
No one else at Shen Group knew about it yet.
Inside the group's conference room.
Other than Shen Qingyan.
All the shareholders had gathered.
Including Li Guifen, who had just completed the inheritance procedures.
They were all nearly at their breaking point.
Shen Group's condition had kept them sleepless and anxious for many days.
When they heard that Lin Qingying had called a meeting.
All the shareholders felt somewhat relieved.
Although they did not yet know what the meeting was about, judging from Lin Qingying's uncharacteristically calm attitude when he notified them.
They all believed.
Today's meeting was definitely good news!
Most likely, the investor had finalized the investment terms and was preparing to release the funds.
Li Guifen had also successfully inherited the shares from the estate.
So today.
They would officially impeach Shen Qingyan and remove her from the presidency!
Every face was filled with delighted smiles.
A new day—please support with flowers, monthly passes, and rating votes!! (Tang Yao sending hearts.jpg).
What?! The investor had abandoned the investment?! Second update, please vote with monthly passes
Feng Xin took a loud sip from his thermos steeped with goji berries and smiled. "Manager Lin, everyone's here. Shall we begin the meeting?"
"How is everyone here?"
Li Guifen wore a mean expression as her knuckles, as thick as ganglion cysts, tapped against the table. "Isn't Shen Qingyan still absent?"
Sun Yuan laughed. "Exactly! Our main character hasn't arrived yet. How can the meeting begin?"
He raised his hand to glance at the Rolex on his wrist and said, "The meeting was scheduled for ten o'clock. It's already ten past ten, and she still hasn't shown up."
"Has President Shen taken a few days off and forgotten which way the company entrance opens?"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as Sun Yuan said that, laughter erupted throughout the conference room.
"Since President Shen wants to rest so badly, we should let her rest properly!"
"That's right! But if she wants to rest properly, she still has to come one last time today, doesn't she?"
"I'll call and hurry her along!"
Lin Qingying, seated at the head of the conference table, looked at everyone's cheerful expressions with some confusion.
What...
Were these people so happy about?
Listening to their discussion, he suddenly understood that they were still dreaming their beautiful dream.
And this dream...
Was one he had personally woven for them over this period of time...
Not just them.
Even he himself had believed it.
If Gu Yang had not cursed him out yesterday, he would still have been immersed in this daydream...
"Don't contact her!"
Seeing someone about to call Shen Qingyan.
Lin Qingying finally came back to his senses and hurriedly stopped them.
His shout made everyone freeze.
"Don't contact her?"
"We don't need to call her?"
"That's right. We don't need to call her at all. With our shares combined, we can remove her directly."
"After removing her, we'll notify her and catch her completely off guard. Hahaha..."
Looking at the Shen Group shareholders' delighted expressions.
Lin Qingying did not know how to begin. He took a deep breath, then forced himself to say, "Everyone, quiet down!"
"The purpose of today's meeting... isn't to impeach Shen Qingyan."
Everyone was stunned.
It wasn't to impeach Shen Qingyan?
"If it's not to impeach Shen Qingyan, then what is it?"
Sun Yuan asked, "To arrange the plans after securing the investment?"
Feng Xin took another loud sip of goji berry tea and shook his head with a smile. "Manager Lin, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you've got the cart before the horse. The proper order should be to get rid of President Shen first, then arrange the plans. Otherwise..."
He laid out the arrangement for Lin Qingying, while a strong sense of contempt rose within him. If it were him, he could definitely have handled everything better, but unfortunately...
He had fewer shares than Lin Qingying...
As Feng Xin spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.
But before Feng Xin could finish.
Lin Qingying, who had been silent for a long while, suddenly spoke and cut him off.
"The investor has abandoned its investment plan for Shen Group."
"Even if the investor abandons the investment, we should still get rid of President Shen first and take the presidency... What?! The investor abandoned the investment?!"
Feng Xin shot to his feet, knocking over the cup in front of him. Goji berry tea spilled all over the table.
A slap across Li Guifen's face! Third update, please bookmark
The others all came to their senses as well. Their expressions changed drastically as they stared at Lin Qingying in disbelief.
"The investor pulled out?"
"How could that be?!"
"Weren't you preparing the details of the investment proposal? How could they pull out?"
"You said a while ago that there would definitely be no problem. We've poured all our savings into the company, and now you're telling us the investor pulled out? Manager Lin, are you kidding us?"
"Damn it!!"
Someone was so furious that he slammed the table and stood up.
Others suddenly turned deathly pale and collapsed weakly into their chairs. "It's over! It's all over now!"
"All my savings went into this... If the group goes bankrupt, my whole family will lose its livelihood!"
"I'll be saddled with who knows how much debt... My son just started university. I don't want to become a deadbeat, and I don't want him to be affected because of me..."
But the most dumbfounded person of all was Li Guifen!
Five years ago.
Before Shen Qingyan's uncle, Shen Lin, died, he caught Li Guifen cheating on him and wanted to divorce her, making her leave with nothing.
But although the divorce agreement had been signed, before they could have it notarized, Shen Lin died.
After Shen Lin died, Li Guifen never brought out the divorce agreement.
After all, the agreement stated that she would leave with nothing. Once she brought it out, she would have to leave the Shen family alone and bear the stigma of being cursed at.
But if she did not produce it, she would remain Shen Lin's widow. She could spend Shen Lin's money, live in Shen Lin's villa, and enjoy herself...
Moreover.
Shen Group had always been on the verge of collapse, and this divorce agreement was also a safeguard.
If Shen Corporation went bankrupt, she could produce the agreement and avoid having to repay the debts attached to Shen Lin's shares.
But now...
At Lin Qingying's instigation, she had already inherited Shen Lin's estate.
The owner of those shares had become her.
