Soon , the sun started to set as the clock struck 7:00 p.m.Rong Corporations" Headquarters :
The shareholders were indulged in a serious conversation while a fifty something year old man was listening to them. The shareholders seemed to be dissatisfied by the performance of the Rong Group in latest market reports.
"What is the meaning of this , Mr. Rong ? Where is CEO Rong Yufan ? Is this some sort of joke ? He called for the meeting and he himself is not on time."
"Exactly ! And have you observed the performance of Rong Empire in domestic market ? There is not even a single profit here. Forget about international market. Xi family is already ruling there. But what about this ?!"
"I feel like the Rong family is insulting the hardwork done by the former president. He left such a huge business group with you and you are destroying it like this. Mr. Rong Yufan hasn"t been able to take a single smart decision here. We are highly disappointed."
"I know, right ? Firstly, the scandals regarding the Rong family are being released everyday. We are looked down upon by the society as we are a.s.sociated with you all. And now , there is no profit in the business with you anymore. Why should we even stay here ?"
"That"s right. If it wasn"t for our respect for the former CEO , we would have had left the Rong Corporations a long time ago."
As he saw the shareholders considering the option of selling their shares , the old man named Rong Chang impatiently glanced at his watch and clenched his teeth. Where the h.e.l.l was that Rong Yufan ? Didn"t he understood the consequences of standing up the members of Board of Directorate ?
Rong Chang was Rong Yufan"s father and Rong twins"s uncle. He was a very calculative person. In fact, he had wholly supported Rong Yufan"s actions during the train incident in Country I.
The old man stood up from his seat and smiled at the shareholders ,"I don"t know what is going on but I a.s.sure you that CEO Yufan will arrive soon. Please calm down. "
::::::::::::::::::::::::
"That won"t be necessary Mr. Rong. After all , the CEO of Rong Business Empire is changing today."
The moment the people in the meeting room heard a woman"s voice , they turned their heads around and fixed their gazes on the entrance of the meeting room. What was happening ? Who would say something like that ?!
Rong Chang frowned as well. What was going on ?
A woman soon entered the meeting room as some lawyers followed behind her. This lady was not someone that could be disrespected or looked down upon. After all , CEO or not , the highest authority of a nation was bound to be treated with propriety and respect.
This woman was... Rong Xinghe !
As soon as the shareholders sensed the intimidating presence , they stood up from their seats and bowed down to Rong Xinghe respectfully.
Rong Xinghe had brought immense respect to Country X by rescuing 118 ladies from s.e.x slavery not too long ago. She had even avenged Country X by killing the frightening terrorist named Ha.s.san Imaz. Currently , her status was too high in the state. As businessmen and businesswomen , the shareholders naturally knew how to treat her.
Rong Xinghe smiled at the shareholders and gestured them to sit down. She was wearing a Dark Blue business suit and her jet Black hair were tied in a long wavy ponytail. The woman had done a light makeup and the pink matte lipstick on her lips made her look even more fascinating and professional.
The moment Rong Chang realized what was happening , uncertainty started flowing through his body and he pulled out his phone with his trembling hands to make a phone call.
Rong Xinghe glanced at her "Uncle" with a smirk and mocked him ,"Well...CEO Yufan is enjoying his time with his girlfriend in Hawaii currently. He might be busy."
"What are you doing here ?!", Rong Chang yelled at the woman angrily ,"What tricks are you pulling now ? I am telling you..."
"You better watch your mouth. Defamation of Country X"s Military Chief is a severe offense , Mr. Rong.", Rong Xinghe glared coldly at the old man and pointed her chin towards his seat ,"Please be seated. Rong Empire"s destiny is going to change today."
When faced with this new Rong Xinghe , Rong Chang lost all his confidence. For some unknown reason , he felt like this was not the girl they had abandoned 10 years ago. She had this intimidating and domineering aura radiating through her body. Her gaze was sharp and alert akin to a tigress. Her composed approach was just like a queen. She seemed like a person far beyond their reach even though she was standing just in front of them.
The old man retaliated his urge to argue back and sat down. He wanted to see what games the girl could play...
Rong Xinghe didn"t even bothered looking at Rong Chang again and focused her attention on the shareholders instead ,"Ladies and gentlemen , I would love to cut to the chase. I have many things to do and can"t afford to waste a single second of the day.
"So... I would like to present the original will of your former CEO and my dad , Mr. Rong Anguo."
Soon , the lawyers distributed the copies of a thick stack of doc.u.ments to every person in the room.
But as soon as Rong Chang heard the girl"s words , he was shocked to the core. How could she have the real will of his brother Anguo ? Hadn"t he destroyed everything back then ?
But the moment he read the contents in the will , his hands started to s.h.i.+ver terribly. This was indeed the real doc.u.ment ! The personal note for every shareholder along with the will was clearly in Rong Anguo"s handwriting. d.a.m.n it !
"As you can see , your former President had always been a man with details. He wanted to appreciate your contribution from the bottom of his heart before leaving for his mission. So he personally wrote these letters to each one of you.", Rong Xinghe smiled ,"Please read your respective letters when you reach home. For now , let"s talk business.
"According to Mr. Rong"s will , he has clearly mentioned that he has no issues with Mr. Rong Yufan becoming his heir. But when we closely see into the conditions , please look at clause 147 on page 62. It clearly states that when his daughters , Rong Xinghe and Rong Xiao turns 18 , they will be given a fair chance to compete for the position of CEO. We are 23 now , by the way.
"Unfortunately , Dr. Rong Xiao has mentioned that she wouldn"t join the Rong groups just yet. So I think I am the only one left."
Rong Chang was about to refute but Rong Xinghe stretched out her hand and pointed her index finger at him gesturing him to stay silent without even looking at him. She hated it when people b.u.t.ted in when she would be speaking.
"Secondly , take a glance at Clause 137 of page 51. It explains that in case Mr. Rong Yufan isn"t able to provide the company with constant benefits for three straight years , Rong Business Empire will fall straight into his daughters" hands. After that , it will be his daughters" choice to whether make or break the Rong group. Mr. Yufan hasn"t been able to maintain the profit bar for even a single year , let alone be three consecutive ones.
"Yes ! He has indeed shown some consistency in results. The consistency towards losses !"
The moment the shareholders heard the woman"s words , they burst out laughing. This girl had her father"s sense of humour. So witty !
"I am his daughter and I can not see his hardwork being destroyed like this. So today... I would like to take back what always belonged to me. I hope you guide and support me. We will make a perfect team. Thank you."
