Chapter 2.2
Jiang Yu Nan had served as the Asia Pacific Regional Manager with an international brand before. In two or three years, he had managed to enhance the performance of the region so that sales had doubled, and created a special line for Asian skin. The brand was very popular and become another cash cow for the Corporation.
Is father interested in poaching him as a CEO?
Yan Mu soon heard the news. At the evening meal at home, she was very anxious to ask Yan Liang the details.
Yan Liang buried her head down to eat, she did not want to raise her head. Only vaguely she said: “I only know that he deliberately went to the hospital today to visit the Father, I do not know anything else.”
Yan Mu stopped eating: “If that is so, then how will you fight him?”
“It’s a wise decision for the future of the company, and I feel fine.”
Yan Mu immediately banged down her chopsticks on the table, the sound especially loud.
“What’s with your att.i.tude? Your dad is putting someone over your head for vested interests, how are you not anxious?”
Yan Liang kept her head down; she did not dare to refute her mother’s words.
Yan Mu could see their own benefits so much, but her daughter did not look like she had the heart, she could only direct: “In short, in next Monday’s provisional shareholders meeting, I will take you to Chen Shu, you must oppose this resolution.”
“…”
“Did you not hear me?”
Yan Liang, for no reason, suddenly recalled the image of a pair of eagle like sharp eyes, she tried to dislodge the image from her head. She put down the chopsticks and got up: “I ‘m full.”
Yan Liang was in a complex mood as she partic.i.p.ated in the shareholders meeting a few days later.
In order for Father to implement this decision, the shareholders quarrelled, many opposing the decision as they feared for their vested interests if the family management system that was running the company so long was removed
Some people were still sitting on the fence: “Jiang Yu Nan Xu has not yet agreed to the invitation, all this discussion is premature.”
Chen Shu has always been firmly opposed to the decision. And this shareholders meeting, in fact, he was opposed to the att.i.tude of private shareholders together to discuss how to stop the matter coming true.
Chen Shu just put the views to the body, asked: “Yan Liang, what do you think?”
The company’s old shareholders had seen Yan Liang grow up; she had inherited the company’s most orthodox candidates. For the moment they looked at her eyes and calmed down.
Yan Liang faced a dilemma between her inclination and her mother’s will: “I … …”
She had barely spoken when the conference room door was suddenly opened –
the people suspiciously turned to look.
They saw Xu Ziqing pushing a wheelchair and come in. Sitting on the wheelchair was Xu Jinfu .He was looking pretty good.
Yan Liang was also very surprised; she stood up: “Dad.”
Xu Ziqing pushed the wheelchair near the chairman’s seat, Xu Jinfu looked around, slowly saying: “Are you not surprised to see me here?”
Xu Jinfu still had a slight lisp, but his words were quite clear.
The shareholders present had different expressions, as if they had seen a ghost, but no one dared to utter a sound.
Xu Jinfu’s eyes went round the conference table, and ultimately looked with disappointment at Yan Liang: “I’m not dead, and you are already keeping me away and calling a general meeting of shareholders. When I finally die, wont my company be carved up by you?”
Though Xu Jinfu experienced a serious illness, everyone was shocked at his words ,their faces turning white. Xu Jinfu said: “The meeting is over, you can go.” Several shareholders looked at each other, they got up to leave.
Yan Liang got up to leave as well, when her father added: “Yan Liang, you stay.”
