An Extremely Serious Betrayal!

Welcome to "I've Been Trapped in the Same Post for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network. Narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.

Madam Su couldn't believe it. If others had supported Su Qingying, one or two of them who originally listened to her husband Su Ruiwen would suddenly listen to Su Qingying. Although it was unexpected and she would be angry, she thought it made sense.

Su Qingying has been with the company for five or six years. It would be strange if she didn't have even one or two close directors. Her interpersonal relationships must be terrible.

Moreover, everyone understands that he will definitely take over in the future, and as an only child, there's nothing she can do, so there might be one or two people who support her.

Supporting Su Qingying doesn't necessarily equate to betraying Su Ruiwen, but what about Yao Honglin's situation?

Yao Honglin and the second largest shareholder, Xu Zhenyuan, both came from U.S. Dollar Jewelry.

More than a decade ago, Jinfu Group acquired U.S. Dollar Jewelry with a combination of cash and equity, and the two individuals became the first and second largest shareholders of US Dollar, respectively.

After acquiring some shares, I joined Jinfu Group, and we've been inseparable ever since, for many years.

At the Board of Directors, Yao Honglin and Xu Zhenyuan were of one mind; whatever Xu Zhenyuan supported, Yao Honglin supported.

What happened today?

Madam Su turned around sharply to look at Xu Zhenyuan. Even though he was blind, she suspected that Xu Zhenyuan was secretly plotting something, publicly supporting her while secretly having others support Su Qingying.

Judging from Xu Zhenyuan's expression alone, Madam Su immediately dismissed the idea.

Xu Zhenyuan was stunned, staring at Yao Honglin with an incredulous expression. He frantically tried to signal to Yao Honglin, but Yao Honglin seemed not to notice.

Before the vote, Xue Zhenyuan had already expressed his support for Madam Su, but Yao Honglin was the first to jump out and oppose it.

In the meeting room where he and Madam Su were supporting Su Qingying, many directors were stunned, because it was really strange that Yao Honglin raised his hand to support Su Qingying first.

Yao Honglin, who raised his hand to signal, had a calm expression, seemingly lost in thought, almost staring at the ceiling.

He didn't want to make eye contact with anyone, nor did he want to see the look Xu Zhenyuan gave him; he was determined to support Su Qingying.

There's no way around it; his problems are far too big. If we don't support him, we'll be doomed; if we do, there will be great benefits.

It is worth mentioning that Yao Honglin's murder and arson were related to U.S. Dollar Jewelry and Xu Zhenyuan.

That was just before Jinfu Group acquired U.S. Dollar Jewelry; the two sides were still negotiating and were close to finalizing the deal.

Once the deal is finalized, the U.S. Dollar Jewelry to be acquired will undergo asset liquidation.

At that time, in order to destroy evidence of his secret embezzlement within the company before the asset liquidation, Yao Honglin did many things, including setting fire to the warehouse, which was the South River Warehouse that Wu Chen had mentioned to him during his first phone call. He also accidentally burned down a warehouse security guard, who was Liang Yuan, whom Wu Chen had mentioned on the phone.

Because she witnessed Liang Yuan being burned to death, Yao Hongling was haunted by nightmares for many years afterward, unable to forget the scene of Liang Yuan struggling and screaming in the fire.

The incident was later classified as an accidental fire, and the security guard, Liang Yuan, was also presumed to have died while trying to put out the fire.

This incident alone caused tens of millions of dollars in losses for U.S. Dollar Jewelry at the time, which directly affected the acquisition negotiations. Jinfu Group even lowered the acquisition price based on this incident.

When Wu Chen talked to him, he also mentioned Bai Kaifeng and Qian Rufa. Both of them were Yao Honglin's confidants and were the ones who went with him to set the fire. However, after people died in the warehouse fire, Bai Kaifeng repeatedly threatened and blackmailed Yao Honglin, saying that he had lost all his money gambling and could not go on living, and that they should die together.

After Yao Honglin was initially threatened and gave him money, he wanted to kill him to silence him.

Just before he was about to kill Bai Kaifeng to silence him, Bai Kaifeng had disappeared for more than ten years and never reappeared.

He knew that Bai Kaifeng had heard rumors and fled beforehand, so he only told him to be cautious in Na'an, fearing that Bai Kaifeng might suddenly reappear one day.

Qian Rufa's death was rather unjust. He did not extort Yao Honglin, but after being extorted by Bai Kaifeng, Yao Honglin was afraid of being extorted by Qian Rufa, so he killed him and buried his body in the mountains.

Without a doubt, if the things Yao Honglin did more than ten years ago were exposed, he would be sentenced to death.

More importantly, if Xu Zhenyuan out the inside story, he will send him to the execution ground without anyone else even having to lift a finger.

Therefore, this matter must not be known to Xu Zhenyuan, which means betraying Xu Zhenyuan is the only option.

Yao Honglin had already wronged Xu Zhenyuan, so betraying him didn't put much pressure on him. He didn't need to consider feelings at all; he only needed to consider interests.

In the conference room, everyone was still in a daze, and their gazes toward Yao Honglin became increasingly strange.

Then, something even more baffling happened.

A dozen seconds later, following Yao Honglin, the group's CMO Wan Wenchang, also raised his hand expressionlessly.

He really had no expression, and he wasn't afraid to make eye contact with anyone; he was very calm.

Everyone who knows Su Ruiwen knows he is, but he is now supporting Su Qingying.

After Wan Wenchang, two more people raised their hands.

A middle-aged man of about forty-five or forty-six years old, he is Song Yuanming, the group's fifth largest individual shareholder, senior vice president, and president of the overseas business division.

The other was a nearly 60-year-old man with jet-black hair and a radiant appearance. He was dressed in a suit, exuding the air of a seasoned gentleman, and wore glasses. He was the head of the legal department of the Jinfo Group.

The compensation and the fact that these two people raised their hands were truly admirable and appreciated by everyone else.

Song Yuanming was a high-achieving student who earned a doctorate. At the age of 30, he founded the jewelry brand Eastern Charm in Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone, focusing on overseas markets and achieving remarkable success.

Later, in order to expand its overseas business, Jinfo Group acquired Dongfangyun. Song Yuanming agreed to the acquisition on the condition of equity swap, so he obtained some shares and joined Jinfu Group, becoming the fifth largest individual shareholder.

He's one of Su Ruiwen's men. He'll never disagree with Su Ruiwen on important matters, but on minor matters that can be discussed, he'll always have his own opinions. He's a person with strong opinions.

Legal Director Pei Changhe is an old friend of Su Ruiwen. He previously worked at New World within the Iron Array and had extensive connections in the political and legal fields when he first entered the business world.

He was always a man of few words at Board of Directors and a staunch supporter of Su Ruiwen. He was completely taken aback if he hadn't known the news beforehand.

Including founding member Tang Deyang, four people— Yao Honglin, Wan Wenchang, Song Yuanming, Pei Changhe— have already raised their hands to show their support for Su Qingying. Counting Su Qingying's own vote, that makes a total of five votes.

There was a moment of stillness in the meeting room, then two more people raised their hands around the same time.

These two are even more shocking.

Chen Lei, female, 50 years old, CFO of Jinfu Group.

He was not only Su Ruiwen's man, but also a friend of Madam Su. Although he only held 1.1% of the shares in Jinfu Group, he was trusted by Madam Su, and the two had a very good personal relationship.

Sun Haomin, 42 years old, is the vice president of Jiangnan Ale Investment Group and the son of the chairman of Alai Investment Group.

Jinfu Group received a financing from Alai Investment 17 years ago, and Alai Group currently holds 13.6% of Jinfu Group's shares.

Before the investment, it was agreed in black and white that Alai Group would only receive dividends from its shares and voluntarily give up its voting rights. However, as an institutional shareholder, Alai Group would have a seat on the Board of Directors, Sun Haomin was an independent director appointed by Alai Investment.

What's going on?

Chen Lei actually betrayed the chairman's wife?

Why did Sun Haomin, an independent director who could have abstained from voting, also get involved and support Su Qingying?

Everyone else remained completely bewildered. "Chen Lei, what are you doing?"

Madam Su suddenly stood up and shouted at Chen Lei, her face full of anger. He had been betrayed, betrayed in a very serious way!

Madam Su was truly furious. She was only shocked when others supported Su Qingying, but the fact that Chen Lei also supported Su Qingying was a betrayal that she couldn't accept emotionally.

Chen Lei is not one of the founding members of Jinfu Group, but he joined the Jinfu Group very early, almost 28 or 29 years ago.

He joined Jinfu Group right after graduating from university, starting as a financial clerk and gradually being promoted until he reached his current position.

His 1.1% stake was awarded to him a few years after he joined the company as part of an equity incentive plan. Back then, equity wasn't worth much, but now it's worth hundreds of millions.

Chen Lei's success at Jinfu Group is inseparable from Madam Su's support.

The year after she joined the Golden Seal Buddha Group, Madam Su married Su Ruiwen, and they got to know each other. The two had been friends for more than 20 years and had a very good personal relationship. Madam Su trusted him a lot, and the better their personal relationship was, the angrier Madam Su became.

Faced with Madam Su's questioning, Chen Lei avoided Madam Su gaze and did not respond.

He was suffering inside. He had no choice. If Madam Su found out that he had tried to seduce Su Ruiwen after his second divorce, he would truly be doomed.

Madam Su had a good personal relationship with him, which was partly due to his outstanding abilities, but also partly due to his average appearance, so she trusted him.

Actually, he deeply regretted what he did. At the time, he had just gone through another failed marriage and was going through a low point in his life. Su Ruiwen comforted him as an older brother, and then he acted impulsively under the influence of alcohol.

He deeply regretted the incident and even felt guilty because Madam Su had always been very kind to him.

However, Wu Chen assured him that Su Qingying and her Madam Su would not know about this matter, as long as he supported Su Qingying at the Board of Directors. Su Qingying only entered the Private Dining Room after the two had reached an agreement. Chen Lei did not want to hurt Madam Su, so he absolutely could not let Madam Su know about that matter.

Although supporting Su Qingying is also a betrayal, it is only temporary. They will definitely reconcile in the future, since Su Qingying will take over sooner or later.

Chen Lei, I need an explanation from you.

Seeing that Chen Lei was avoiding her gaze, Madam Su said angrily.

Chen Lei remained silent, almost as if he were staring at the ceiling like Yao Honglin.

That shouldn't affect the voting process.

When Su Jing spoke up, Madam Su looked at her daughter as if she were looking at a stranger, because she suddenly couldn't understand her daughter anymore. Not only her, but everyone else was the same. They couldn't understand why these people supported Su Qingying. At this moment, they all had a common thought in their minds: it had been premeditated for a long time.

Su Qingying had been plotting for a long time, quietly taking care of some people. He didn't rebel suddenly; he had been preparing for it all along.

It must be!

Madam Su took a deep breath, her face grim, and slowly sat down to continue the vote.

Su Qingying turned her head and scanned the room, asking, "Who else supports my proposal?"

Wu Chen has secured the support of 6 people, and they have all expressed their willingness to cooperate. There's no one else left.

But Wu Chen had told him that not everyone needs to take the initiative to talk. Putting aside those who are indecisive, there are some people who would support Su Qingying as long as Su Qingying could make a statement and demonstrate her power and strength.

Li Ruobing couldn't understand how Wu Chen could have accomplished this, because she didn't understand the inner workings of Jinfu Group or the Su Family, while Wu Chen did.

A long silence fell over the conference room for 10 seconds. Su Qingying still didn't have enough votes. Just as Madam Su was furious, breathed a slight sigh of relief, the man sitting at the side of the conference table, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, raised his hand: Tang Deyang!

Tang Deyang's statement at the Board of Directors was very important. He was a veteran, Su Ruiwen's most trusted person, and his closest brother, and yet he had rebelled!

Madam Su glared at Tang Deyang, so angry she almost choked.

Deya, your Madam Su is trying to insult your sister-in-law.

The obese Tang Deyang gently comforted her, "You've grown up, Qingying. Look how well Qingying is doing!"

As he spoke, Tang Deyang smiled, gestured to the supporters, and looked at Su Qingyang with a gratified expression.

He was shocked just now, but now he is relieved.

Tang Deyang had a special fondness for Su Qingying; it was the kind of affection an elder had for a younger person.

Su Qingying is too outstanding. It's a pity that she also has daughters in her family, otherwise she would have wanted to become in-laws with Su Ruiwen.

She truly hadn't expected Su Qingying to be able to go this far.

Su Qingying not only managed to gather a group of people to support her, but she also managed to resolve some unstable factors within the group.

This refers to Yao Honglin Yao Honglin, a close confidant and supporter of Xu Zhenyuan, the second-largest shareholder, who is the destabilizing factor.

Now that Yao Honglin has sided with Su Qingying, Xu Zhenyuan has lost an important Board of Directors supporter, which has truly impressed Tang Deyang.

And then there's Sun Haomin. He's an independent director, so he could have simply abstained from voting. But Su Qingying managed to win him over. Tang Deyang couldn't even imagine how Su Qing managed to get Sun Haomin, an outsider.

Tang Deyang had long been dissatisfied with Madam Su's excessive control over Su Qingying, but he didn't want to say it.

If Su Qingying cannot be independent, how can she possibly run the company well in the future?

Su Ruiwen won't be greatly influenced by Madam Su; he can handle it. But Su Qingying listens too much to her mother and lacks her own opinions; she's bound to cause trouble in the future.

Now, Su Qingying has not only become independent, but he is also using forceful methods to seize power on the Board of Directors, and he has even dealt with the troublemakers on the Board of Directors.

Tang Deyang saw in Su Qing his self-reliance, ability, courage, and shrewdness.

The biggest problem for Su Qingying when she took over the company was that she lacked experience and had a weak foundation. If Su Ruiwen was gone, although Su Qingying could become the chairman smoothly, she would definitely experience a long period of instability. She would not have absolute authority in the early stages, and Xu Zhenyuan would definitely cause trouble.

But now, Tang Deyang feels that even if Su Qingying were to take over the company immediately, he could handle it. He already has all the conditions to succeed her. With Yao Honglin's allegiance and Du Dong's support, plus Su Ruiwen's original staunch supporters, Xu Zhenyuan wouldn't be able to make a ripple. In fact, Su Qingying has the ability to marginalize it.

Given all this, why not support it?

This is not a bad thing for the Su Family or for the Jinfu Group; in fact, it's a great thing.

Tang Deyang will call Su Ruiwen later; he believes his older brother will understand.

Right after Tang Deyang finished speaking and raised his hand to vote, another person raised his hand. This person was also a very senior shareholder and had a very close relationship with Tang Deyang.

Wine tickets.

Major Board of Directors resolutions require a two-thirds majority vote, while ordinary resolutions only require a simple majority.

Today's decision is on a small matter, so only a majority vote is needed.

This "more than half" refers to half of the group's Board of Directors members, not half of the total number of attendees.

This is why Board of Directors can be held as long as more than two-thirds of the directors are present. Even for particularly important resolutions, as long as all the directors present agree to support the resolution, the number of people who pass the resolution exceeds two-thirds of the total number of directors. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether other directors attend the Board of Directors meeting or not; it will always exceed two-thirds.

The Jinfu Board of Directors has a total of 19 members, and more than half of them have 10 votes, meaning they are just one vote short.

Su Qingying has already taken control of half of the Jinfu Board of Directors.

Madam Su panicked; she couldn't hold back any longer, she was completely out of control. If even one more opportunist were to support Su Qingying, everything would be over.

I'd like to see who dares to raise their hand!

Madam Su slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and angrily threatened him!

He's going crazy with anger!

Bang!

Another loud bang.

Mom, are you sure you want to do this?

Su Qingying slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring at her mother.

Silence, the final season—this was the final blow that Wu Chen had repeatedly told him before going to sleep.

Whether this will be the final word, it all comes down to this moment. This episode has ended. Welcome to continue listening!
