The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.
Chapter 147 Taking the President's Seat
"What's on your mind now that you're thinking about the Xing family? Are you hoping the project will go wrong sooner? Or are you eyeing the little money in the company account?" Xing Yanzhao's sharp gaze swept over the group, and a few of them guiltily looked away.
Lin Zhengyu's gaze only paused slightly, but he remained calm.
Xing Yanzhao still noticed his slightly curled fingers.
In contrast, Uncle Xing, with his chin held high, was completely at ease. He wasn't even thinking about the money in the company account; what he was thinking about was the position of CEO.
If he and his son couldn't sit down, they would have to help Lin Zhengyu, who wasn't related by surname, to sit down so that he could control the situation.
No one responded directly to Xing Yanzhao's words.
Uncle Xing said, "Although as the chairman, my elder brother can directly appoint Yanzhao as president, Xing's Group does not belong to my elder brother alone. With so many shareholders here, why not hold a secret ballot? Let's see who gets the president, Zhengyu or Yanzhao."
"I think everyone should know in their hearts who is more suitable to sit in this position."
"What do you think, brother?"
Knowing that his second son would object, Xing's father didn't show any expression on his face, but instead looked at his own son and asked for his opinion.
Xing Yanzhao calmly said, "President, I'm just a slightly higher-level employee. Do you really think anyone would be willing to work for your Xing Group? If it weren't for my grandparents, everyone would have to beg and plead to see me."
Everyone's faces turned ashen, filled with shame and indignation, yet they dared not utter a sound.
Because Xing Yanzhao is right.
Over the years, haven't all those who want to meet the behind-the-scenes boss of Chaoye Technology been trying to beg and plead with him? Lin Zhengyu and Pei Yuanzhou are two of them.
“Voting is no problem, but I remember that only shareholders of Xing’s with a certain number of shares are eligible for this type of election. So, can Lin Zhengyu participate in the voting?”
“Sometimes it’s just a matter of one vote.” Xing Yanzhao looked at Lin Zhengyu meaningfully.
Lin Zhengyu's heart skipped a beat. Before he could say anything, Xiao Chen, Xing Yanzhao's assistant standing next to him, bent down, seemingly to whisper, but in reality, he didn't lower his voice at all.
"Brother Xing, have you forgotten? President Lin is also a major shareholder of Xing's Group."
"Really?" the man asked casually. "When did this happen?"
"A couple of days ago, I think."
"How did you become a major shareholder?" Xing Yanzhao looked at his father, who was looking surprised. Even the chairman of Xing's Group didn't know about this. How many people around him must have helped Lin Zhengyu keep it a secret?
Lin Zhengyu looked at Xing Yanzhao and Xiao Chen with eyes that seemed to want to devour them, and Xiao Chen was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.
He was soon confronted with questions from his father.
"Zhengyu, where did you get your shares?"
"Dad..." Lin Zhengyu hesitated, "...It's Mom..."
"Your mother transferred it to you?" Mr. Xing asked with a serious expression.
Lin Zhengyu remained silent, indicating his tacit agreement.
A glint of light flashed in Xing Yanzhao's eyes. He had sent people to secretly watch the Xing family and Lin Zhengyu for so long, but he hadn't seen his mother sign any equity transfer agreement. It was true that he had a lawyer draft an agreement.
Uncle Xing chuckled and said, "Now that it's confirmed that voting is also possible in Zhengyu, let's begin. What are we waiting for?"
He had already taken care of everything.
Lin Zhengyu must have made arrangements behind the scenes; Xing Yanzhao is bound to lose!
Mr. Xing wasn't angry about his wife transferring the shares to their adopted son, but he felt it was inappropriate and unfair to his own son and daughter.
In the end, he didn't say anything, but instead presided over the vote.
Over the years, the adopted son has won over many people, and the other branches are eager to divide power. The vote is unfavorable for Yanzhao. Even if he, as the chairman, expresses his idea of electing his biological son, it is estimated that only a few people will stand with him.
Mr. Xing felt a vague sense of unease.
But in order for his own son to maintain control, he did not hesitate to alienate his adopted son, and generously wrote down the three characters "Xing Yanzhao" without fear of being seen by others.
After all, one's own son is more valuable.
Xing Yanzhao did not feel any better about his father because of this, but Lin Zhengyu was filled with resentment, feeling like a pawn who could be discarded at any time.
The last vote was in Xing Yanzhao's hands. He covered his face while writing his name, but instead of putting it in the box, he held it in his hand and said, "I'll leave it here and open it at the very end."
The chairman's assistant couldn't do anything about the young master, so he had to let him go.
Begin counting the votes.
Xing Yanzhao and Lin Zhengyu's names kept switching back and forth, the votes were neck and neck, and they would tie from time to time, making everyone nervous.
Uncle Xing and Lin Zhengyu had a vague feeling that something was wrong. How could they be so closely locked in a fight? Could someone have betrayed them?
Lin Zhengyu's gaze swept over them, and several people felt guilty and dared not meet his eyes.
In contrast, Xing Yanzhao looked like an old man lazily sunbathing in a park, with a fierce-looking face and a determined gaze.
There were only two tickets left on the table.
Upon opening them, all the names were Xing Yanzhao's.
The last one is in Xing Yanzhao's hands.
The outcome has been decided.
Mr. Xing beamed with joy.
Uncle Xing turned to look at the people next to him in disbelief. Wasn't it agreed that they would all choose Xing Yanzhao in the end?
Lin Zhengyu stood frozen in place.
"One more vote." Xing Yanzhao handed over the white paper between two fingers.
The chairman's assistant took it, and everyone assumed that Xing Yanzhao's name was on the paper. With three votes ahead of Lin Zhengyu, it was practically a foregone conclusion.
however……
“Lin…” The chairman’s assistant was taken aback, “Lin Zhengyu.”
Xing Yanzhao wrote Lin Zhengyu's name.
In the end, he won by a single vote.
Even if I give you a handicap, you still can't win.
Killing people is nothing more than that.
Lin Zhengyu's face immediately darkened, his back teeth clenched tightly as he tried to suppress his anger, every second feeling incredibly agonizing.
Especially when congratulatory voices came from around me.
The former young master Xing is now the true CEO Xing.
a long time.
Lin Zhengyu stood up from his seat, straightened his clothes, and gave a standard smile, extending his hand and saying, "Big brother, congratulations."
Xing Yanzhao was not stingy with a handshake, but he tightened his grip during the return handshake and announced to the public: "In the next month, I will audit the company's finances, as well as all projects that have been completed, are in progress, or are intended to be carried out in the past year."
He released his grip and gave everyone a slight smile. "Including all branches and subsidiaries, please inform your subordinates to submit complete information within three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people's expressions changed.
The people who were smiling just moments ago now have shifty eyes.
"Is three days enough?"
The unspoken message is: are three days enough time for you to pay off the debt?
Three days was certainly not enough, but they didn't dare to object and just nodded in agreement: "Enough, enough, enough."
End of the meeting.
Xing's father patted him on the shoulder with a look of respect and left first. The others also left one after another. After everyone had left, Xing Yanzhao was still in the conference room.
Xiao Chen asked, "Brother Xing, are we still going?"
“Give them some space to argue, and if we go out and bump into them, will they still dare to argue?” Originally, many people supported Lin Zhengyu, but last night at the old house, he saw the old housekeeper go out and not return for a long time. He guessed that the two elders had sent someone to tell everyone something.
So when it came to voting, he wasn't worried at all.
As long as the two elders are alive, they will ultimately be in charge of the entire Xing family.
Uncle Xing and Lin Zhengyu were betrayed by their subordinates. Lin Zhengyu wouldn't say anything openly, but his second uncle might. Getting into arguments with people was the least of his worries.
Xing Yanzhao took out his phone and sent a message to Luo Huai.
[It's done. The celebration party you promised is here.]
