Chapter 9: Shareholders’ Meeting

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Teng looked up at Xiao Zhengfang. “Dad, why is Second Uncle holding a shareholders’ meeting at this time?”

Xiao Zhengfang frowned. “I don’t know either… I went to your Second Uncle’s house to look for him in the past few days, but he wasn’t there.

I was told he went out with Xiao Li.”

Xiao Teng asked, “Dad, have you not found out why Second Uncle hasn’t been going to the company recently?”

Xiao Zhengfang shook his head. “I only found out that he went to the hospital for a checkup, but I don’t know what the results were…

Your Second Uncle has lost a lot of weight recently…

Two days ago, I went to sound out Aunt Xu, but I didn’t find anything…”

Now the hospital protected the patients’ privacy very well. No one else could know.

Only Qin Xiao knew because that hospital belonged to their family. It was very easy to transfer a medical record.

Xiao Teng said, “If Second Uncle really has a problem with his health, then we have to prepare for the shareholders’ meeting tomorrow…”

Xiao Zhengfang nodded. “Contact our people first and make preparations!”

The next day, Xiao Zhengnan brought Xiao Li and Wallace to the top floor of the Xiao Corporation.

On the top floor, other than Xiao Zhengnan’s Chairman office, Xiao Zhengfang’s General Manager office and Xiao Teng’s Deputy General Manager office were also on the same floor.

When Xiao Zhengnan appeared on the top floor with Xiao Li, Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng looked at each other. Their premonition had come true.

Xiao Zhengfang stepped forward and smiled. “Why are you here today, Xiao Li?”

Xiao Zhengnan said indifferently, “She has grown up. It’s outrageous that she doesn’t come to her own family’s company at all. Since I have time today, I’ll bring her over to broaden her horizons.”

Xiao Zhengfang nodded. “She should come to the company to take a look… This is…”

Xiao Zhengfang looked at Wallace as he spoke…

If Xiao Zhengnan had brought Xiao Li and Qin Xiao along, Xiao Zhengfang would not have been surprised at all. Xiao Zhengnan only had Xiao Li as his daughter, so there was no need to mention the weight of Qin Xiao as his son-in-law.

But Qin Xiao did not come, instead he brought a stranger. Moreover, this person gave off the feeling that he was not simple. Xiao Zhengfang couldn’t help but be mindful…

Xiao Zhengnan smiled and said, “Oh, he’s just a nephew.”

Go to work, all of you! We’ll talk about it at the meeting later…”

As Xiao Zhengnan spoke, he led the two of them into the chairman’s office.

After the three of them entered the office, Xiao Zhengfang also brought Xiao Teng into his own office.

“Ah Teng, what do you think of the person your Second Uncle brought along?”

Xiao Teng lowered his head and thought for a moment. “Why do I feel that this person looks a little familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen him before?”

Xiao Zhengfang frowned when he heard that. “You’ve seen him before?”

Xiao Teng shook his head. “No… I don’t think I’ve seen him before. If I have, I should remember.”

But then I thought he looked familiar…”

Xiao Zhengfang frowned and said, “Let’s not care who he is. Did you greet those people last night?

Do they know what to do at today’s meeting?”

Xiao Teng nodded. “Don’t worry! Dad… it’s all settled.”

At eleven o’clock, the shareholders began to arrive…

All the shareholders in the huge conference room were already in position. Xiao Zhengfang, Xiao Teng, and some of the company’s higher-ups had also arrived.

The only ones who had not arrived were Xiao Zhengnan and Xiao Li.

In the chairman’s office, Xiao Zhengnan’s secretary, Secretary Cheng, came over and reminded him, “Chairman, everyone is waiting in the conference room.”

Xiao Zhengnan nodded. “Got it. Let them wait a little longer!”

“Yes.”

Secretary Cheng left.

Xiao Li waited for Secretary Cheng to leave before picking up her phone and called. “The meeting is about to begin. Dad and I will be in the conference room in five minutes.”

“Okay, got it.”

Xiao Li put away her phone and looked at Xiao Zhengnan. “Dad, let’s go in later.”

Xiao Zhengnan nodded…

Five minutes later, Xiao Zhengnan was in front while Xiao Li and Wallace followed closely behind him to the conference room.

At the door of the conference room, Xiao Li said to Secretary Cheng, “You don’t have to go in. If anyone comes later, you’ll be in charge of opening the door for them.”

Secretary Cheng looked at Xiao Zhengnan, who said, “You can obey Miss.”

“Yes.”

The door to the conference room opened, and everyone stopped talking when they saw Xiao Zhengnan.

Xiao Zhengnan took his seat at the head of the table. Xiao Li sat behind him, while Wallace stood behind Xiao Zhengnan.

Among them was Director Chen, who had worked with Xiao Zhengnan for the longest time and was one of the earliest shareholders of the Xiao Corporation. When he saw Xiao Li, he smiled and said, “Xiaoli, you’re here today. You came at the right time… Your father only has one daughter, so you should take over the company’s matters.”

Now that you’re married, it’s time for some responsibility.”

When Xiao Li got married, most of the company’s directors attended, so everyone knew that Xiao Li was already married.

Director Chen had worked hard with Xiao Zhengnan. He was the person among the board members who disliked Xiao Zhengfang and his son the most.

In the past, he had advised Xiao Zhengnan not to give Xiao Zhengfang too much power, otherwise the people in the company would not know who was in charge.

When Xiao Li heard Director Chen’s words, she smiled and replied, “Uncle Chen, you make it sound like I didn’t do my job well before…”

Director Chen smiled and said, “To ignore a company as big as the Xiao Corporation and insist on studying medicine, isn’t that ignoring one’s proper duties?”

Xiao Li shook her head helplessly…

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengnan said, “Enough, Old Chen… This is Ah Li’s first time here, yet you’re rebuking her. Be careful not to scare her away.”

After saying a few words to Director Chen, Xiao Zhengnan said seriously, “I suddenly held this shareholders’ meeting today and invited all the shareholders and higher-ups of the company because I have something to tell everyone.

The first matter is regarding the removal of Xiao Zhengfang’s position as general manager and Xiao Teng’s position as deputy general manager.”

As soon as Xiao Zhengnan said this, Xiao Zhengfang immediately stood up, and Xiao Teng followed suit…

The others looked at Xiao Zhengfang and his son in surprise.

The higher-ups below began to discuss.

They had never expected that there would be a grand explosion today, now that CEO Xiao and his son were to be dismissed from their positions.

In their eyes, CEO Xiao and his son were already the leaders of the Xiao Corporation.

How did they get fired all of a sudden?

While everyone was discussing, Xiao Zhengfang was also processing Xiao Zhengnan’s words.

Last night, he and Xiao Teng knew that Xiao Zhengnan would make a move today. However, at that time, they thought that Xiao Zhengnan might arrange for Xiao Li or Qin Xiao to join the company.

At that time, they wanted to join forces with their own people and use the excuse that the two of them were never involved in the company’s matters to prevent them from joining the company.

Even if they wanted to enter work in the company, they had to slowly climb up from the small department…

As long as the power did not fall into their hands, Xiao Zhengfang was confident that he could push these two newcomers out of the company.
