Ruan Guosheng had long been interested in the position of President. He had gathered everyone simply to announce the fact that he was taking over the company.
If that wasn’t the case, then he wouldn’t bring along his family and Ruan Fusheng.
He obviously had swelling ambitions, but now he was collaborating with Old Fifth to make it seem as if he was taking a leaders.h.i.+p role in a time of crisis.
The situation progressed in a way that Ruan Guosheng had not planned, but, in the end, it had gone down the path he had hoped. And it was even more effective than his original plan.
Since Old Fifth had already said so much, Ruan Guosheng went with the flow. “Since that’s how it is, I’ll take good care of elder brother’s company and lead the company to another level!”
Ruan Guosheng stood up from the President’s seat, his eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly and full of pa.s.sion. Finally, the time had come where he no longer had to hide the desire in his heart. He could finally boldly express his wishes.
“That’s rather inappropriate, isn’t it?” A Boardmember who didn’t really like Ruan Guosheng said. “Even though Boardmember Ruan has the Surname Ruan and is Chairman Ruan’s younger half brother, at the end of the day, you’re only a board member. You’re not the only Boardmember in the room. Any one of us can help the president run the company temporarily. When the chairman’s illness is cured and his emotions stabilized, then he can once again take over the company. Even though the chairman has already retired, he’s only in his fifties. And we’re all still here. Can we really not last until the heir becomes an adult?”
On the board, there were only two members who shared a different surname. This member was one of the two. He had the surname Geng. His ancestors had founded the business with the Ruan Family ancestors and were good friends. When they founded the Yuan Teng Corporation, Boardmember Geng put in a lot of effort. Because of this, he not only received shares of the company, Ruan Qishan also made him a board member.
He was always loyal and devoted to Ruan Qishan and Ruan Zeyan and never liked the brothers Ruan Guosheng and Ruan Guofu.
Hearing Boardmember Geng’s words, Ruan Guosheng narrowed his eyes and returned to his seat.
“Oh? Old Geng, do you have something to say about me taking my older brother’s place?”
“Yes!” Boardmember Geng countered Ruan Guosheng’s dark and gloomy gaze, not feeling threatened at all.
“Ha!” Ruan Guosheng laughed, a murderous look in his eyes.
When Old Fifth opened his mouth to speak, he had already decided that he was going to take Ruan Guosheng’s side. Now, seeing Boardmember Geng, who had a foreign surname, going against Ruan Guosheng, he said, “Boardmember Geng, it’s not that I want to criticize you. However, despite your position as a board member, you’re still an outsider with a different surname. At the end of the day, the Yuan Teng Corporation is a Ruan Family business. Therefore, the person in charge of the company should naturally be someone from the Ruan Family. What’s it got to do with you, the person with a different surname?”
Old Seventh was used to backing up Old Fifth. “Exactly, this is internal Ruan Family business and, as an outsider, you have no right to take part in it!”
Boardmember Geng wasn’t happy about being attacked by the two old men but he persisted, “I own shares and I’m a board member. Why don’t I have the right to take part in matters that relate to the company?” Boardmember Geng looked at Ruan Guosheng. “Anyways, choosing someone to take charge of the company is a big deal. I don’t think that we should decide so quickly. Perhaps in a couple of days, the chairman himself will be cured and will return to take over the company. Despite such a tragedy happening to the chairman and his family, President Ruan, you brought your entire family and sat in the President’s position, excited to start the board meeting to put on an act with the elders. Don’t you think that’s inappropriate?”
