The person chairing the meeting also looked at the man in the black suit, "Sir, who are you?"
The man, who had maintained a cold expression throughout, finally bowed slightly and politely introduced himself to everyone.
"Good morning, everyone. I am Lawyer Yu the Legal Department of the Gu Group. I am attending this shareholders' meeting on behalf of Mr. Gu Jinhuai, and I will be casting his five votes on his behalf."
After hearing Lawyer Yu's self-introduction, all the shareholders in the room widened their eyes instantly.
Gu Group
How did Gu Jinhuai come to own shares in the Chu Group?
Even Chu Chen looked up in astonishment.
Only Chu Yu's expression remained calm and unchanged, as if he had expected it all along.
Huang Yinian frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
According to his original plan, most of the shareholders present today should have supported him.
In other words, apart from the forty votes from his family, Chu Yu shouldn't have been able to garner many other votes.
But the lawyer's sudden appearance did indeed make Huang Yinian somewhat uneasy.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Lawyer Yu picked up the completed ballot, placed his briefcase on the table, straightened his back, and walked towards the voting station.
When he put the ballot into the boardroom, it officially marked the end of the voting process for this meeting, and all that remained was to wait for the final voting results.
The atmosphere in the meeting room noticeably became more tense.
Chu Chen's incredulous gaze remained fixed on the Lawyer Yu, because he simply couldn't understand why the Chu Group's affairs were related to Gu Jinhuai.
The process of waiting for the vote count at the meeting is very long.
The shareholders, who usually enjoyed chatting, fell silent, holding their breath as they watched the board members process the voting results on stage.
About half an hour later, the statistics finally came out.
The person presiding over the meeting maintained a professional demeanor, without any superfluous expression. "Now, we announce the voting results regarding the temporary proposal to remove Chairman Chu Tingnian— "
The vote was 40 in favor, 4 abstentions, and 56 against.
"Based on the highest standards of the shareholders' meeting, the temporary proposal to remove Chairman Chu Tingnian has been rejected with more than half of the total votes and therefore will not be passed."
With those words, it was officially announced that the crisis posed by the Chu Group's impromptu proposal had been resolved.
Chu Yu, who had been on edge the whole time, finally relaxed.
Moreover, she discovered that there were indeed some shareholders among them who were quietly supporting the Chu Family.
Even without Gu Jinhuai's five votes at the end, Chu Yu should have been able to successfully repeal the proposal.
The votes that suddenly turned against him were probably from undercover agents that Dad had trained years ago.
Upon hearing the final result, Huang Yinian's previously relaxed expression instantly froze.
His hand, which was resting on the table, slowly clenched into a fist, and his gloomy gaze swept over the shareholders around him.
According to his calculations, he should have at least fifty votes, but the voting results are like a direct slap in the face.
" Director Huang, then we'll see you at the next shareholders' meeting." Chu Yu had already composed himself, stood up, and walked over to greet everyone.
Seeing Chu Yu's smug expression, Huang Yinian's anger flared even more. His plan, meticulously crafted over a month, had been thwarted by a woman in her early twenties.
But what angered him even more was that there was a traitor within his own camp.
Huang Yinian's sharp, scrutinizing gaze swept over the expressions of the shareholders. Some looked guilty, some seemed calm, and others were puzzled as to why their side had lost.
Regardless, Huang Yinian's plan this time has failed.
The shareholders' meeting concluded, and Chu Sister Yu did not linger, turning and leaving.
Once back in the car, Chu Chen finally felt a sense of relief.
He glanced at Chu Yu beside him with a complicated expression, and found that she had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep leaning back in her chair.
He was probably exhausted.
Chu Chen withdrew his gaze, silently closed his eyes, and began to think about everything that had happened that night.
At this time, employees of major media websites, with their lights on, began working overtime urgently.
Without exception, all of these people were waiting for the results of the Chu Group's shareholders' meeting.
Several white-collar workers, who were forcing themselves to work overtime, started chatting idly.
Do you think the Chu Group is really going to have some trouble today?
"How could the Chu Group possibly have any problems? Their capital is undeniable. It's probably just internal strife within the group."
"That Chu Yu is really pitiful; he hasn't even been in the limelight for long before he has to face this kind of thing."
Clearly, no one believed that Chu Sister Yu had any confidence in dealing with the other senior executives of the Chu Group.
After all, they are still young and certainly lack experience.
While waiting for news from reporters on the front lines, they edited and formatted the images to prepare for tomorrow's headline news section.
A few minutes later, a reporter who had been waiting outside the Chu Group building sent a message.
[Chu Sister Yu have won! The proposal to remove Chairman Chu Tingnian has been rejected!!]
You can tell how emotionally charged the reporters on the front lines were when they sent the messages.
" Chu Yu actually won?" Various expressions of shock rang out within the website.
At this moment, Fang Lanzhi and Chu Tingnian, who were far away overseas, also received the news simultaneously.
Fang Lanzhi, who had been on tenterhooks and dared not rest, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems our precious daughter does have some ability."
The middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed was none other than Chu Tingnian, a figure feared by all.
His fine hair was now streaked with silver, and a relieved smile graced his aged, wrinkled face. "With Chu Yu here, I can focus on recovering. It's just that things will have to be tough on those two siblings from now on."
