Before the vote officially began, the meeting chair announced a ten-minute break.
These ten minutes naturally became the time for Huang Yinian and Chu Yu to recruit their teammates.
Chu Yu's gaze swept over the man in the suit in the corner, but he quickly looked away and turned to walk in another direction.
Chu Yu stopped in front of the two shareholders who were chatting, his fingertips brushing against the edge of the table, and smiled slightly, but his tone carried a hint of threat.
"You two will support President Chu, right?"
Upon seeing Chu Yu arrive, the two shareholders immediately stopped talking and each coughed lightly.
One of them, with a shifty look in his eyes, spoke up, "Well... actually, everyone is just thinking about the Chu Group's best interests."
The person next to him nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes."
Chu Yu raised his gaze, sweeping it over the two of them. "You two must have earned quite a bit from the Chu Group over the years. From what I understand..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was hurriedly interrupted by the two shareholders.
The two glanced around nervously, and seeing that no one else was paying attention, they continued to speak to Chu Yu with a smile in a low voice, " Xiao Yu, how did you know about this?"
Chu Yu recalled the scene of talking to Fang Lanzhi in the car, and smiled as she truthfully replied, "My parents told me."
Upon hearing this, both shareholders swallowed hard.
Clearly, the two of them had made a lot of money from the Chu Group over the years, and they never expected that Chu Tingnian, who hadn't been to the company for so long, would still know about their shady dealings.
The two exchanged a glance, then quickly nodded with smiles. " Xiao Yu, we definitely support President Chu."
With their weaknesses exposed, the two shareholders naturally dared not harbor any further ulterior motives.
Chu Yu smiled and nodded, then returned to his seat without seeking votes from other shareholders.
When Chu Chen saw her return, he quickly went over and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to campaign for votes?"
Chu Yu mentally calculated the number of votes he could guarantee so far and then hummed in agreement.
Fifty-one votes are enough.
The Chu Family has a total of forty votes, plus three votes each from the two shareholders mentioned earlier, making a total of forty-six votes.
As for the remaining five votes...
Chu Yu lowered her eyes and recalled the time when she had just gotten together with Gu Jinhuai.
That year, Chu Yu had just learned about the complex situation within the Chu Group's board of directors.
At that time, Chu Tingnian was in relatively good health, so the pressure on Chu Yu was not great.
But she knew very well that sooner or later, the pressure and burden on her father would fall on her shoulders.
One evening, Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai were strolling hand in hand along the roadside.
As evening approached, a cool breeze occasionally blew by, and the streetlights emitted a faint light, casting the shadows of the two people walking hand in hand on the road.
Chu Yu turned to look at the man beside her, " Gu Jinhuai, I have a question for you."
Gu Jinhuai stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked away. "What?"
"If we suddenly have a fight and break up in the future, will you still remember me? Will you suddenly get together with someone else and forget about me, never talking to me again?"
Seeing Chu Yu's expectant gaze, Gu Jinhuai's expression faltered slightly.
In fact, he had never thought about this question, because he always believed that Chu Yu would definitely be part of his future.
So he answered decisively, "I won't break up with you, I won't suddenly get together with someone else, and I won't ignore you."
Chu Yu jokingly looked at him and teased, "What if the Chu Group faces a crisis one day, goes bankrupt, or is taken over by someone else?"
Gu Jinhuai remained silent for a while before saying, "It would be very difficult for the Chu Group to go bankrupt. But if someone else takes it from you, I'll help you take it back."
Although she knew that Gu Jinhuai might have said those things just to make her happy, Chu Yu still smiled sweetly, her cheeks showing Qianqian dimples.
Chu Yu and raised his head to look ahead again.
The ten-minute halftime break passed quickly.
Before the voting meeting began, Huang Yinian and his supporters returned and sat back down in their seats.
To be honest, at this point, none of the shareholders can guarantee which side will win 100%.
After all, the Chu Family combined would account for more than forty votes.
Huang Yinian also had a considerable number of supporters, with a total of over forty votes.
So the most crucial thing today is those dozen or so neutral votes.
The board member presiding over the meeting stepped to the front. "Regarding the proposal to remove the current chairman, Chu Tingnian, we will now begin the vote."
Under the direction of the board members, the shareholders fell silent and began to grapple with the final decision of which side to take.
About half a minute later, led by Huang Yinian, shareholders one after another stood up and walked to the voting platform in front.
After casting his vote, Huang Yinian returned to his seat.
His face still wore a warm, gentle smile, remaining as steady as a mountain even in the face of such a serious decision.
This gave his shareholders, who supported him, even more confidence.
After Chu Yu and Chu Chen finished writing their voting resolutions, they got up, walked over, and dropped their votes into the boardroom.
About five minutes later, most of the shareholders present had cast their votes.
The board member presiding over the meeting looked at the entire room and said, "Shareholders who have not yet voted, please come forward and vote as soon as possible."
At this moment, everyone's eyes began to scan their surroundings.
Suddenly, a man in a black suit stood up, carrying a briefcase.
Many people have already noticed this strange man since the beginning.
I've never seen this person before at shareholder meetings.
It's a bit strange that it suddenly appeared today.
