Chapter 581 Too Late
Tan You was not afraid at all when facing fierce Shao Tianze.
However, the other shareholders present trembled in the heart when they saw Shao Tianze’s cold expression.
Tan You stroked the hair around her ear. Then, she looked at Shao Tianze and said, “From the beginning, Shao’s had never explicitly prohibited major shareholders like our Tan Family from selling shares. I have transferred the shares to someone else, and there is nothing wrong with it.”
Tan You said easily.
However, Shao Tianze itched to tear Tan You into pieces.
Tan You stepped back a little and said impatiently, “This is my last meeting. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Shao Family, and I will never come to Shao’s shareholders’ meeting again.”
Shao Tianze frowned, “Tan You, do you know what you are talking about?”
“Of course I do.” Tan You got up and left her seat, “I won’t be Shao’s shareholder any more.”
“You are insane!”
Shao Tianze said rudely.
The Tan Family owned Shao’s fifteen percent shares.
In Shao’s heyday, the Tan Family’s shares profited and brought them numerous benefits.
However, Tan You transferred this part of the shares to others.
What did that mean?
That meant that the Tan Family considered the Shao Family unprofitable, and Shao’s was about to go downhill.
That the Tan Family sold the shares not only meant that they wanted to leave Shao’s but also caused panic to other shareholders.
Shao Tianze understood that Tan You’s decision would greatly negatively impact the Shao Family. However, he could not save it.
Seeing Shao Tianze’s anger, Tan You did not want to stay in the meeting room.
She got up and wanted to walk outside.
Seeing that Tan You was walking outside, Shao Tianze frowned and turned to catch up with Tan You quickly. He grabbed Tan You’s arm, “Who did you sell the shares to?”
Shao Tianze grabbed Tan You’s arm hard. Tan You frowned slightly, “I don’t need to tell you this.”
“You must say it.”
Seeing that Shao Tianze became savage and lost his cool, Tan You raised her hand to free her arm from Shao Tianze’s grab. She reminded him, “Mr. Shao, please mind your manners.”
As a crowd of people stared, it was inappropriate for Shao Tianze to reach out and grab Tan You’s arm.
However, at this crucial moment, Shao Tianze could not let Tan You go easily even if he had to lose his manner.
He must know who Tan You sold her shares to.
Shao Tianze narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and said, “Who did you sell the shares to?”
Tan You raised her eyebrows, “Whoever I wanted to.”
Tan You’s words made Shao Tianze even more furious, “But your decision harmed the interests of the entire Shao’s.”
Seeing Shao Tianze’s fury, Tan You slightly pursed her lips and said lightly, “My grandmother held the shares because she admired Miss Gu. Now, Miss Gu has pa.s.sed away, so has my grandmother. Gu’s has been renamed to your Shao’s. Why do I have to maintain support for Miss Gu on behalf of the Tan Family?”
Shao Tianze squinted his eyes, “What do you mean?”
Tan You directly said, “We only admire Gu Changge. Since Gu Changge has pa.s.sed away, we are not interested in you, Mr. Shao. Therefore, we do not want to continue to waste time in Shao’s. Can you understand me, Mr. Shao?”
Tan You’s words made Shao Tianze clench his fists in anger, while Tan You did not want to continue talking with Shao Tianze after finishing speaking.
She turned and left the meeting room, “Please excuse me, Mr. Shao.”
The people in the meeting room clearly saw that Tan You left Shao Tianze speechless. They also had nothing to say.
As Shao Tianze watched Tan You leave the meeting room, the darkness in his eyes grew thicker.
Gu Changge… Gu Changge…
Everyone was attracted by Gu Changge’s brilliance, not his. He was worthless in those people’s eyes.
Shao Tianze hated to be looked down upon and tried hard to cover Gu Changge’s brilliance.
He even killed Gu Changge to cover her brilliance.
He made Gu Changge completely disappear from this world.
However, even so, people still often mentioned Gu Changge.
To irritate him. To mock his incompetence.
The secretary whispered to him, “Mr. Shao, Miss Gu Changle is here.”
Hearing Gu Changle’s name, Shao Tianze frowned, “What is she doing? There is nothing about her here. Let her go home and recuperate.”
Feeling helpless at Shao Tianze’s order, the secretary awkwardly said, “But Miss Gu has broken in.”
As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Gu Changle’s voice came from the meeting room door.
“Tianze?”
Shao Tianze looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Changle approaching.
The people in the meeting room were also shocked by Gu Changle’s sudden intrusion.
Gu Changle didn’t care about the strange eyes of the people in the meeting room. She walked to Shao Tianze and said, “What happened?”
“I will tell you after the meeting.” Shao Tianze didn’t want to talk about the Tan Family with Gu Changle here. Therefore, he motioned to the secretary to take Gu Changle to his office.
The secretary understood Shao Tianze’s meaning and immediately asked Gu Changle to leave.
Gu Changle didn’t want to leave. However, when she saw Shao Tianze’s serious look, she resignedly turned around, followed the secretary, and left the meeting room.
As soon as she walked out of the meeting room, Gu Changle asked the secretary, “What exactly happened?”
“The Tan Family, a major shareholder of Shao’s, sold their shares. Mr. Shao was furious.”
Gu Changle was stunned by the secretary’s words.
The Tan Family’s shares held a larger proportion, and Gu Changle had known it when Gu Changge was still alive.
At that time, old Mrs. Tan and Gu Changge had a good relationship. Old Mrs. Tan always admired Gu Changge’s character and conduct and said Gu Changge would definitely be a successful woman.
Old Mrs. Tan kept saying that, and Gu Changle was impressed.
She disliked old Mrs. Tan.
People always disliked others who didn’t praise themselves.
If old Mrs. Tan had praised Gu Changle instead of Gu Changge, Gu Changle might not have hated old Mrs. Tan so much.
Gu Changge always did unusual things when she was alive.
For example, the way she treated Gu’s shareholders was unusual.
Other companies mandated that their shareholders could not easily transfer their shares.
However, Gu Changge was different.
Gu Changge had never made such a mandatory requirement on Gu’s shareholders.
Gu Changle used to believe that Gu’s would fall apart because of Gu Changge’s method.
However, until Gu Changge pa.s.sed away, Gu’s was as indestructible as an iron kingdom. Gu’s major shareholders had never transferred their shares for no reason.
After Gu Changge’s death, Shao Tianze took over Gu’s. He had secretly reminded and regulated Gu’s shareholders.
He had wanted to introduce mandatory requirements directly. However, it was less than a year since Gu Changge’s death, so reforms in this area were not carried out.
Unexpectedly, serious problems kept happening because of no reforms and preventive measures in this area.
First, Shao’s scattered shareholders sold their shares secretly or openly.
Then, important people like Guo Yuyue and Tan You sold their shares and left Shao’s.
Such people leaving Shao’s more or less shook people’s trust, making people feel that the company would fail.
However, Gu Changle believed Shao Tianze would manage Shao’s better than Gu Changge after he took it over.
Not worse.
Gu Changle patiently waited for Shao Tianze to come back after the meeting in his office.
She thought the meeting would last a long time. However, only half an hour later, Shao Tianze opened the door and walked into the office.
Seeing Shao Tianze entering the room, Gu Changle immediately walked to him and asked, “How was it going?”
Shao Tianze’s face was not good. After returning to his seat, Shao Tianze clenched his fingers into fists and punched them onto the table.
Seeing Shao Tianze’s behavior, Gu Changle pursed her lips, feeling frightened.
Shao Tianze didn’t like to express his emotions on his face. However, today, he easily showed an angry expression.
Everyone could see his rage at a glance.
It could be imagined that how terrible things were.
Gu Changle frowned and asked Shao Tianze, “Will Tan You’s leave make Shao’s worse?”
Shao Tianze tightened his lips, “How could this b*tch collude with others behind my back!”
Gu Changle knew that Shao Tianze was referring to Tan You.
However, as of now, they were unable to hold anyone accountable because Tan You had left Shao’s.
“What’s the situation now?”
Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze.
After taking a look at Gu Changle, Shao Tianze tried to calm down and said, “One person has got Shao’s shares piecemeal in the past three months. This person now has forty percent of the shares.”
Gu Changle was shocked, “How could things become like this!”
Shao Tianze only held forty percent of Shao’s shares, which was Gu Changge’s shares plus Shao Tianze’s own shares.
In a group like Shao’s, five percent was a large proportion.
Let alone forty percent.
“If it is true, our Shao’s is going to…” She dared not go on.
Shao Tianze said, “It’s going to be over.”
