Reborn Girl’s New Life - Chapter 868
Chapter 868 Always Mine
Gu Changge’s inheritance shrank a lot because of the struggle between Shao Tianze and Song Yunxuan.
Even if it shrank and part of it was also taken by Song Yunxuan, it was still a fortune, after all.
As long as the Shao enterprise was running well as the days when Gu Changge was in charge and made all the right decisions, then it was not just a dream that the Shao enterprise could come back to its good old days.
She lifted the agreement in the air and said, “If you don’t buy it, I suggest you read the copy of this agreement first. Shao Tianze has now returned all my inheritance. That is to say, now the majority of the business of the Shao enterprise is in my charge.”
“You?”
Mei Qi was amused, looking at Gu Changle.
Gu Changle hated Mei Qi, who always talked back to her.
He was such a pain in the ass.
Gu Changle nodded. “Yes, now I have the majority of the Shao enterprise’s business.”
“But you’re still not in charge of the Shao enterprise, Miss Gu. Thus, I guess your business for today is close to an end?”
“Certainly not. The meeting continues.” Gu Changle placed the document back on the table. The copies of the wealth transfer agreements were also given out to people seated at the table.
The shareholders in the meeting room were all surprised.
If Song Yunxuan failed to appear, such a shift would lead to the chairman’s re-election.
Gu Changle seemed to be here for this purpose.
Otherwise, she would not call almost all of them here.
“Miss Gu, why don’t you just make it straight? Why do you call such a meeting?”
“Pretty simple. I figure that the general meeting needs a leader.”
“A leader?” Mei Qi said, “Manager Song…”
“Manager Song is not even here for the meeting. Where’s she exactly?”
Gu Changle looked at Mei Qi challengingly.
Since Song Yunxuan was not present, she was not afraid.
Mei Qi was not her match.
“Though Manager Song can’t make it today, she’s still a substantial shareholder, and her proxy is here. What makes you think you can be the chairman of the board?”
The shareholders seated also nodded.
Given Song Yunxuan’s share in the Shao enterprise, she was almost in charge of everything.
And it was an unspoken truth that the Shao enterprise was only run by Shao Tianze nominally.
With Song Yunxuan’s control, no matter who was in charge, Shao Tianze or Gu Changle, they could not revive the Shao enterprise anyway, unless Song Yunxuan offered a plan to carry out.
But apparently, Song Yunxuan was not interested in helping or managing the Shao enterprise in its decline.
“I’m not qualified?” Gu Changle grimaced, looking at Mei Qi.
Mei Qi said, “No wonder you’re only an adopted daughter. If you’re raised in the same way as your sister, who learned everything from chairman Gu Cheng, you won’t make such an amusing comment in such a meeting.”
“I don’t find it amusing.”
Gu Changle picked out a particular contract from those on the table.
Then she lifted it up to show it to everyone, “When Gu Changge ran the Gu’s, she revised the board regulations in a board meeting as a substantial shareholder.”
Hearing what Gu Changle said, people frowned.
Anyone who had experienced the Gu Changge era would know that her decisions were almost always right when she had an unchallengeable authority on the board.
Thus, even when she revised the rules, all the shareholders chose to trust her.
Her ability was the guarantee.
But Gu Changle now mentioned what Gu Changge had done. They were not sure what she was up to.
They looked at Gu Changle, waiting for her to talk.
Gu Changle smiled. “You are all smart people. I think you’re also quite aware of what I’m implying.”
Everyone frowned.
They looked at Gu Changle, showing their distrust.
Mei Qi saw that people were held back from being the first to speak.
He decided to take the initiative. He asked, “I guess what Miss Gu was saying is that you are going to follow Gu Changge’s board regulations. The sixth rule allows the second-largest shareholder to use the power of the chairman in an emergency.”
“Correct.” Gu Changle smiled.
With Mei Qi taking the lead, the rest followed.
“But now this is the Shao enterprise instead of the Gu’s.”
“Right, Miss Gu.” Mei Qi smiled. “Since your sister’s death, it has become the Shao enterprise. It’s weird for the board of the Shao enterprise to follow the board rules of the Gu’s, isn’t it?”
When Shao Tianze took over Gu Changge’s business, he reaped what he had not sown.
He conducted a purge of the Gu’s.
Though the business was still the same, the top-level managers and key shareholders were all new after the Shao Tianze era.
Few prior top-level managers and shareholders of the Gu’s remained after the enterprise was named after the Shao enterprise.
They were all the sneaky type and posed a minor threat to the Shao enterprise.
They were all the vicar of Bray and kept muddling along.
They were not a big deal.
“The Shao enterprise used to be known as the Gu’s. Both the business and the personnel in the management and the general meeting are related to the Gu’s. So what’s the problem if I follow the Gu’s board regulations after I change the Shao enterprise back to the Gu’s?”
Gu Changle made a plausible response.
She seemed to be prepared before entering the meeting room.
Perhaps, Shao Tianze also offered her some advice.
It thus got a bit tricky.
Hearing what Gu Changle said, Mei Qi rubbed his chin.
The shareholders on both sides were all contemplating.
Seeing that some people were moved, Gu Changle was more confident. She asked, “Anything else?”
“Yes.”
Mei Qi said, fulfilling his duty of messing up with Gu Changle on behalf of Song Yunxuan.
“The sixth rule of the Gu’s board regulations indeed states that in the absence of the largest shareholder, the second-largest shareholder can temporarily take over the chairman’s role. But it is at an emergency, which is not the case for now.”
“Is it?” Gu Changle asked Mei Qi and every present shareholder. “The Shao enterprise is at the edge. Is it still not an emergency?”
Hearing this, the murmuring of the shareholders began.
If it was not an emergency, the Shao enterprise was still in a corner because of Song Yunxuan.
And Song Yunxuan was also in a tricky position.
She hesitated when she could have it all, crashing Shao Tianze and Gu Changle altogether.
Thus, Gu Changle and Shao Tianze gained their feet again.
They even came up with the plan to take advantage of the sixth board rule.
The shareholders and top-level managers of the Shao enterprise were not particularly worried. Song Yunxuan was now the substantial shareholder in a dominant charge, but she did not carry out a purge.
This meant that she had no intention to break up the Shao enterprise.
Thus, the shareholders could be friendly towards Mei Qi.
After Song Yunxuan took over, the worst scenario was that Gu Changle and Shao Tianze lost control of the Shao enterprise entirely.
For the shareholders, they still had the money.
Whether it was called the Shao enterprise or the Gu’s did not really matter, as long as the business was still up and running.
But it meant everything for Gu Changle and Shao Tianze.
Thus, they were eager to hit back, and they thought that it was an emergency.
Now Gu Changle asked whether it was an emergency for the Shao enterprise, which was tricky to answer.
If they said yes, they were against Song Yunxuan. It was not profitable for their own sake and it was quite risky.
But if they said no, the Shao enterprise was indeed acquired by the Song enterprise, which made it a critical moment.
They faced a dilemma.
And no one was about to talk.
Seeing that no one dared to speak up, Gu Changle got a bit annoyed. She said coldly, “No one’s talking. I suppose it means that you all agree with what I have said.”
Even hearing this, everyone still shut their mouths.
Gu Changle nodded. Anyway, it was better than they talked back.
It was not a big deal.
“Since we all agree that the Shao enterprise is at an emergency, I have every reason to become the chairman to handle it according to the rule, Mr. Mei.”
Gu Changle looked at Mei Qi and said.
Mei Qi lifted his eyebrow, seeing that no one on the board spoke.
He was about to say something.
However, the door was opened.
A commanding but smiling voice entered, “When have I said that I’m giving up the chairman position?”
