Chapter 10: Abdication

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If something really happened to Xiao Zhengnan’s health, then once he retired from the company, the Xiao Corporation would belong to the father and son.

However, he never expected that Xiao Zhengnan would immediately want to get rid of him and his son.

Could it be that he wanted to get rid of us so that he could make room for his daughter and his son-in-law?

Huh…

Two immature and inexperienced kids who wanted to be the head of the company the moment they entered.

Is Xiao Zhengnan not afraid that they’d take too big a step and destroy the company?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengfang glanced at Director Fang, who was sitting diagonally opposite him.

Director Fang understood and said gently, “Chairman, President Xiao and Vice President Xiao have been very responsible to the company during their tenure.

The most important South City Project of the company was led by President Xiao and Vice President Xiao was in charge.

Why on earth did you suddenly want to remove them?

Is it for…”

Director Fang looked at Xiao Li, who was standing behind Xiao Zhengnan, with her beautiful big eyes.

With that glance, everyone else understood what she meant by her unfinished sentence.

With Director Fang’s reminder, everyone felt better. Director Zheng, who was more impatient, said directly, “Old Xiao, it’s not easy for our company to reach this scale. We’ve all seen your hard work all these years.

But if you want to get your own daughter into the company and get rid of people who are really capable, we won’t agree to it.

Although you’re the chairman of the company, we shareholders can still interfere with the appointment of the higher-ups…”

As Director Zheng finished speaking, the people around him also agreed.

Xiao Zhengnan watched coldly as the people below expressed their opinions. He did not stop them and just let them discuss…

Throughout the entire process, only a few people truly trusted Xiao Zhengnan. They were the earliest shareholders of the company and they remained silent…

Amidst the commotion, the door to the conference room opened. Qin Xiao led the way, followed by a few people in uniforms.

As they appeared, the conference room fell silent.

When Qin Xiao saw Xiao Zhengfang and his son standing, he said to the people behind him, “Those two are the Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng you’re looking for.”

Hearing this, the person in the lead walked past Qin Xiao and arrived in front of Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng.

“Hello, are you Mr. Xiao Zhengfang and Mr. Xiao Teng?”

Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng nodded. “Yes.”

“Today, our bureau received a report about the two of you embezzling the company’s assets. Now, please follow us back for an investigation…”

With that, he took Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng away.

Xiao Zhengfang and his son were taken away in a daze. The people in the conference room who were in the same camp as Xiao Zhengfang and his son, were also baffled and confused.

Xiao Zhengnan waited until Xiao Zhengfang and his son were taken away before saying, “Now I don’t have to explain why President Xiao and Vice President Xiao were removed from their positions!”

This time, there was complete silence…

Seeing that no one else expressed their opinions, Xiao Zhengnan said, “Next, I want to talk about the second matter of this meeting.

The position of general manager is related to the operation of a company. It can’t be empty forever, so I’ve already hired Wallace, who used to be the CEO of Kuhn, a big foreign company, to join our company as the CEO.

In addition, because of a problem with my health, I will no longer be the chairman of the Xiao Corporation. All the shares under my name will be inherited by my daughter, Xiao Li.

As Xiao Li had never participated in the operation of the company, the new CEO of our company would make all the decisions in the future. Other than major decisions that required a shareholder to vote, there was no need for Xiao Li to appear.

Alright, I’ve said what I wanted to say at the shareholders’ meeting today. If no one has any objection, let’s disperse!”

After Xiao Zhengnan finished speaking, the conference room fell silent for a few minutes…

Everyone was shocked by what had happened today.

First, Xiao Zhengfang and his son were defeated. Then, Xiao Zhengnan invited someone who had once been the CEO of Kuhn to work in their company.

That was Kuhn! This Xiao Corporation was really nothing when compared to Kuhn!

But now Kuhn’s former CEO had come to work for their company.

This was too fantastical!

Before they could digest this news, Xiao Zhengnan resigned from his position as chairman. This… this… this…

Their hearts couldn’t take it anymore. They couldn’t think straight!

Seeing that no one said anything, Xiao Zhengnan said, “Meeting ended…”

As Xiao Zhengnan spoke, he led Xiao Li and the others away.

They didn’t go back to the office. They took the elevator down to the underground garage and took the car home.

It was not until Xiao Zhengnan had left that the people in the conference room regained their senses. Among them, Director Chen had the biggest reaction.

As soon as he came back to his senses, he rushed to the chairman’s office. When Secretary Cheng saw Director Chen, he quickly stood up and greeted him. “Director Chen, are you here to see the chairman?”

Director Chen said, “Why else? To find you?”

Secretary Cheng smiled. “I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to tell you that the chairman and the others have left.”

Director Chen stopped pushing at the door. “Gone?”

Secretary Cheng nodded. “Yes, he’s gone.”

Hearing this, Director Chen let go of the door and took out his phone from his pocket to make a call…

After a while, the call was answered…

“Where are you, Old Xiao?”

“Oh, with my daughter and son-in-law, on the way home.”

“Wait for me. I’m on my way…”

In the car, Qin Xiao was driving while Xiao Li and Xiao Zhengnan sat in the backseat. Seeing that Xiao Zhengnan had hung up, Xiao Li said, “It’s Uncle Chen, right?”

Xiao Zhengnan smiled and said, “Who else could it be but your Uncle Chen?

Of all these old guys, your Uncle Chen and I are the closest.”

Xiao Li nodded. “Dad, does Uncle Chen not know about your illness?”

Xiao Zhengnan nodded…

After nodding, he leaned back in his seat and rested. Xiao Zhengnan’s body was really about to collapse. He felt extremely tired after going to the office in the morning.

If his body hadn’t been so weak, he wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to hold Xiao Li’s wedding.

However, although the wedding was held in a hurry, this son-in-law was not randomly picked.

Qin Xiao was the son-in-law that Xiao Li’s mother, Wen Lan, had chosen when she was alive. In the two years that Wen Lan had left, Xiao Zhengnan had continued to observe Qin Xiao.

However, Xiao Li did not know about this. At that time, Xiao Zhengnan and Wen Lan wanted to observe first. If it was not suitable, there was no need to tell Xiao Li.

If it was suitable, he would let the two of them interact…

When Wen Lan was alive, he had once asked Qin Xiao to come to the Xiao family, but that was three years ago. Xiao Li had probably forgotten that she had seen Qin Xiao before at home.

In the past two years after Wen Lan left, Qin Xiao had often come to the Xiao family’s house. However, Xiao Li had always been in school. This summer vacation was the first time Xiao Li had returned home in two years, and she had been forced to come back by Xiao Zhengnan…
