She sat at the head of the table, looking very imposing. The people on either side of her were full of doubts.
However, it was obvious that she had won the support of many people before she could sit in that position.
Sitting at the head of the table were Qiao Zhuoli and the others. He had united the backbone of a group of pharmaceutical companies and led them to support Yue Xiu, so Yue Xiu was very confident.
“In the company, I already own 10% of the shares. Currently, Doctor Gu, who holds 50% of the shares, is overseas and can’t come back. Therefore, I’ll exercise this 50% on his behalf. I hope everyone agrees.”
Hearing Yue Xiu’s words, everyone was very surprised. “Miss Yue, Doctor Gu’s shares can only be exercised by him and whoever he decides. How can you use them at will?”
!!
“Why can’t I use it at will? Have you forgotten that before he left the country, I was his closest partner? Without Doctor Gu around, I can exercise his rights.”
There was a murmur of conversation, clearly not pleased with the situation.
Yue Xiu was not in this line of work, and she did not have many achievements. How could she directly replace Gu Jingyuan?
“This is the agreement signed by Gu Jingyuan. If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself.”
Yue Xiu tossed a copy of the agreement on the table.
The person in front picked it up and took a look. “Doctor Gu really signed it himself.”
“So Doctor Gu has already transferred his rights to Miss Yue?”
Everyone looked at them in turn. Although they were unwilling to believe it, they had to.
The few people who had long sided with Yue Xiu said, “Have you all forgotten that although Miss Yue has only been in the company for a short period of time, she is a member of the Yue family and has very powerful resources. She is also very capable. Why can’t she help with the company’s affairs now?”
Everyone thought about it for a moment. They had to admit that his words made perfect sense.
In that case, there was no point in arguing.
Everyone fell silent.
Yue Xiu smiled. “Since no one has any objections, I’ll be in charge of the company…”
“Then did you ask us?”
The door opened and s.h.i.+ Jin and Liang Xinran walked in.
Countless eyes fell on the two of them.
Recognizing them, everyone started whispering.
Yue Xiu stood up and said calmly, “Oh, it’s s.h.i.+ Jin. You came at the right time. I was just about to inform you that I’m now in charge of the pharmaceutical company’s resources. Unfortunately, although you’re also a member of the Yue family, your relations.h.i.+p with Gu Jingyuan is too shallow. I can only manage the company’s matters.”
s.h.i.+ Jin glanced at Qiao Zhuoli before saying, “Liang Xinran is already engaged to my big brother. She’s the candidate my big brother has decided on as his fiancée and future wife. If the shareholders’ meeting is to be held and elected again, Liang Xinran is the best candidate, right?”
Everyone looked at Liang Xinran. No one could deny this.
In terms of their relations.h.i.+p, that was indeed the case.
It shouldn’t be Yue Xiu taking charge.
Yue Xiu placed his hands on the table and said with a smile, “Is that so? But Dr. Gu, no, I’ll call him Jingyuan. Before Jingyuan left, he told me that he wanted to break off the engagement with Liang Xinran. It has nothing to do with her anymore. Liang Xinran, are you deceiving yourself after he told you, or did he forget to tell you?”
Hearing this, everyone was slightly surprised. Everyone in the company knew that Gu Jingyuan and Liang Xinran had a good relations.h.i.+p.
Liang Xinran’s pupils dilated and contracted rapidly.
“From the looks of it, you’re still fooling yourself, aren’t you?” Yue Xiu said sarcastically. “He’s already transferred the shares to me to exercise on his behalf. Of course, he won’t treat you as one of his own.”
She took out her phone and showed the photo of her and Gu Jingyuan leaning against each other intimately. “Liang Xinran, since Gu Jingyuan isn’t around, let me tell you. The two of you should have broken up. Now, only I am the actual manager of this company.”
s.h.i.+ Jin and Liang Xinran’s expressions changed.
Especially when she saw the photo, Liang Xinran’s expression kept changing as she bit her lip.
“By the way, s.h.i.+ Jin, I know you’re quite capable. If you still want to study drugs, you’re always welcome at the company.”
She changed the subject, her voice sharp. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll see you out.”
The security men were on their way.
s.h.i.+ Jin took Liang Xinran’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go.”
Liang Xinran’s footsteps were heavy. She did not know how she had followed s.h.i.+ Jin out.
The shareholders’ meeting officially ended.
In Yue Xiu’s office, Qiao Zhuoli stood across from her. “Congratulations.”
“And congratulations to you, Second Master. All these years of resentment have finally been repaid. It’s impossible for Gu Jingyuan to rely on these medicines to earn money like his uncle.”
Qiao Zhuoli’s face darkened as he swirled his coffee and inhaled the rich aroma.
Yue Xiu could not tell what he was thinking and said, “Then that’s good. Second Master, I’ll be in charge of everything here in the future. I won’t trouble you anymore.”
Qiao Zhuoli put down his coffee. “Don’t forget, you promised. I’m going to oversee the entire operation of the pharmaceutical company.”
Yue Xiu looked a little unnatural. Qiao Zhuoli said, “All operations here, especially drug development, must be supervised by me personally.”
Although she was not satisfied, Yue Xiu could not refute him. This time, she was able to control the company because of the various strings that Qiao Zhuoli had planted over the years and used them all to achieve the effect.
Those who supported her were basically Qiao Zhuoli’s people.
“Of course, Second Master. The actual controller of this company is you, isn’t it?”
Qiao Zhuoli got to his feet and straightened his unruffled sleeves. “It doesn’t matter. What matters is that nothing goes wrong with all the drugs.”
After he left, Yue Xiu was still annoyed, but she had to be controlled by him for the time being.

The air outside was hot.
The air conditioning in the car did not make one feel better.
s.h.i.+ Jin said to Liang Xinran, “Xinran, the photo from Yue Xiu might not be real.”
“Yes, I don’t believe it. Unless Gu Jingyuan tells me personally.”
She looked unusually determined. Where no one could see her, her fingers clenched very tightly as she tried to contain her discomfort and disappointment.
“s.h.i.+ Jin, send me back for the shoot. I still want to keep working.”
“Okay.”
s.h.i.+ Jin sent her back silently.
Although many fans objected to Liang Xinran continuing to film the show, it didn’t matter now that the producer had s.h.i.+ Jin’s check.
