Chapter 449 Serious Hit
The three sons of the Yi Villa are all excellent. Yi Yuntian is a king in the commercial circle. He gives a sneeze and the Asian economy may be shocked. His decision can even directly influence the global economy. He is a tough guy!
Then it is about Yi Yunrui. His capability is not to be measured by money. His backing will make it impossible for anyone to touch Xia Ning!
If the two brothers combine, even if Jiang Yongran is selected to be the president of Junhao Group by the meeting of shareholders, he won’t have any advantages in the competition if Xia Ning shows the Yi’s brother as her backup.
It is not a matter of Junhao Group’s power. Instead, it is Jiang Yongran’s personal problem. Now, the one whom Xia Ning is fighting against is Jiang Yongran!
The shareholders are aware of Xia Ning’s implication. They feel irresolute at once. Now, Xia Ning is mainly against Jiang Yongran alone. It is unnecessary for them to get Junhao Group involved in the dispute. However, Jiang Yongran has got some things on them in his hand. If they turn to go against him at this time, what they will lose may not be money only.
But if they don’t go against Jiang Yongran, they will have to go against Xia Ning and the Yi Villa behind her. There will be bad consequences, too.
They can offend neither of the sides.
“President Jiang.” At this time, a man in his forties stands up. He turns to Jiang Yongran and says politely, “I think we may take a rest for now. We want to know what Assistant Xia wants to tell us.”
Jiang Yongran purses his lips. The speaker is the chairman of the meeting of shareholders, Ren Xing. The man holds a similar but slightly less quantity of shares than him. However, his words play a decisive role among the shareholders.
Jiang Yongran wonders whether he should give in or not.
“Mr. Ren, don’t you remember the news reported recently about Assistant Xia? The hostess of the Yi family seriously announced that she would not allow this woman to stay in Yi Villa again. Do you really think that she can influence Yi Yuntian? She is only making a threat of bravado. If Junhao group listens to her and takes a recess in the press conference, she must act more unscrupulously later! If we don’t stop her from making the mess, it will bring a great shock to Junhao Group’s reputation.”
Ren Xing hears Jiang Yongran’s words. He frowns. The authenticity of the event is to be known. The problem is that he can’t bear to offend either of them.
“General Manager Jiang.” Suddenly, Xia Ning comes to them. She turns to Jiang Yongran and says, “Don’t believe everything in the news report. How can you be sure that my mother-in-law really said so? In addition, my husband is right here now. He is showing his great support for me. If I have any problems with my mother-in-law, how can it be possible that my husband accompanies me to attend the public event?”
Xia Ning’s words provide a powerful reason to Ren Xing. Therefore, he responds to Jiang Yongran, “President Jiang, we may take a recess for a while and listen to Assistant Xia’s comments. President Zhou has just passed away. It is time for Junhao Group to stay together. We may talk about it when we have any conflicts or disagreements with each other. “
Ren Xing has just finished his words, the other shareholders all agree with him. Jiang Yongran realizes that everyone agrees on that. Helplessly, he can’t but tell his assistant to announce a recess of the press conference.
It is in the meeting room of the branch office in C City of Junhao Group.
Jiang Yongran sits on the seat of president while An Zihao and Xia Ning sit beside him respectively. And other shareholders sit next.
It is silent for a while. Jing Yongran and Xia Ning are mentally checking on each other.
Jiang Yongran’s eyes gleam. He thinks that Yi Yunrui is outside and Xia Ning may not be so arrogant here. And he has got some things on the others. Now, Xia Ning wants to fight against him. She is really daydreaming!
“Assistant Xia. We are here now. I hope we may talk frankly. President Zhou passed away. Junhao Group has no president. Anything else happens may shock the company. The consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, I sincerely hope you pay attention to the interest of the company.”
“President Jiang, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean?” Jiang Yongran slightly screws his eyes, “You disagree on my being the next president, don’t you?”
“You are right.” Xia Ning responds frankly, “I disagree with your taking over the presidency which doesn’t accord with the regulations.”
Jiang Yongran puts on a mild smile, “Why do you disagree? Why do you think it doesn’t accord with the regulations? Please share the effective evidence with us.”
“Supervisor An.” Xia Ning turns to An Zihao, “You hold ten percent of Junhao Group’s shares. Do you agree that Jiang Yongran takes over as president?”
An Zihao thinks for a while. He says, “President Zhou held over fifty percent of the shares of the company. Generally speaking, the next president should be nominated by President Zhou in person. Everyone saw clearly that President Zhou issued a Letter of Appointment. It says clearly in the document that Xia Ning will be the executive president of the company. Therefore, I disagree that Jiang Yongran takes over as president.”
Xia Ning nods, “So, Supervisor An agrees on my becoming the next president, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
An Zihao clearly expresses his opinions. Jiang Yongran predicted that An Zihao would say so. He smiles coldly, “What Supervisor An says is right. According to the regulation, you are right. However, although President Zhou appointed Xia Ning as the new president, she didn’t transfer her shares to Xia Ning. Therefore, Xia Ning doesn’t have the right to do so. In addition, the decision-maker of the company is the meeting of shareholders while I am the one selected by the meeting of shareholders. So, according to the regulation, I am the rightful president. I can carry out the right of the president. Chairman Ren, what’s your opinion?”
Jiang Yongran passes the topic to Ren Xing. Ren Xing feels a little panic. He makes a light cough, “Hum...According to the legal procedures, President Jiang’s speech is more convincing than Assistant Xia’s.”
Jiang Yongran looks at Xia Ning with a vague disdain.
Xia Ning wants to go against him? He has been in the commercial circle for so many years. Even though Xia Ning brings her husband with her, she will not but leave in embarrassment in the end.
“Oh. I see.” Xia Ning purses her lips. She shakes her head as if she feels annoyed, “But I have just received a will from the lawyer. Everyone may read it.”
Then, Xia Ning shows the document to Jiang Yongran first, “President Jiang, you are the president, you may read it first.”
Jiang Yongran takes over the documents confusedly. Zhou Mengyao made a will?
He opens the documents and reads the content. He can’t help changing his color all of a sudden!
The content of Zhou Mengyao’s will is very simple. She transferred everything under her name to Xia Ning completely!
What shown under that are the stamps and certification of every department.
Xia Ning notices Jiang Yongran’s expression. She says, “If President Jiang doubts about the authenticity of the will, you may take it to the relative departments for verification.”
After quite a while, Jiang Yongran finally collects himself. He turns pale. At this time, An Zihao initiatively goes to him and takes over the will. He shows it to the other shareholders.
People in the meeting room start to discuss in a low voice.
“Maybe you all feel confused why President Zhou would make a will.” Xia Ning takes out the proof from the hospital, “Here is a proof issued from the C military region hospital about the health condition of President Zhou. It says that President Zhou found a big problem in her body one year ago. She took some treatments for some time and the virus cells inside her body turned into cancer cells. One month ago, her attending doctor confirmed that she was in the terminal stage of cancer. President Zhou had no hope to live through the disease. Therefore, she made the will at that time.”
Xia Ning pauses here to take a deep breath, “When President Zhou made the will, I was not there. I feel sorry about that. However, I knew it a long time ago. Since President Zhou hadn’t got much time in her life, why would I do anything to her? I am absolutely not insane at all.”
Hearing Xia Ning’s words, the shareholders in the meeting room discuss more loudly. Many of them nod.
“However, I have only shown the will here today. It has never been announced to the public. Now, you have read the will. I don’t have any motives to commit the crime. President Jiang said that I was on the site of the event and showed up there when President Zhou was murdered. I doubt the authenticity of his speech.”
Jiang Yongran’s face turns grey and then red. He hesitates for quite a while and then says, “However, you were photographed by the camera on the site. As to the truth, we may wait for the investigation of the relative departments.”
Jiang Yongran drinks some water to calm himself down.
Zhou Mengyao was a tricky fox. She left more than one secret!
This woman Xia Ning, after disappearing for some days, suddenly turns so tough. That is really beyond his expectation.
Luckily, he made some preparation in advance, though Xia Ning has shown a lot of evidence.
He predicted in advance that the shares held in Zhou Mengyao’s hand would be a big problem for him.
Jiang Yongran thinks for a while. He makes a light cough. Then, he lifts to look at the others when he says slowly, “Actually, there is something else. Because President Zhou has just passed away, I don’t think it is suitable for me to announce it. If I do, it may be considered to be a disrespect to her. However, Assistant Xia is pushing hard now. I may not but ask President Zhou to excuse me. Everyone, I hope when you read the document, you can keep calm and continue to support Junhao Group.”
Then, Jiang Yongran winks at his assistant sitting beside him. His assistant understands. His fingers hit on the keyboard and a document is shown on the screen in the meeting room.
It is a notice from the US government saying that all Zhou Mengyao’s assets in the accounts in the USA have been frozen!
Everyone feels shocked to know that Zhou Mengyao’s assets were frozen!
The document mentioned the reasons for Zhou Mengyao’s assets’ being frozen. Zhou Mengyao was suspicious of illegally bribing some governmental sectors and officials. Therefore, her assets were temporarily frozen until the truth comes out. If it were true, all the assets under Zhou Mengyao’s name would be taken away by the US government.
It is known to all that the headquarters of Junhao Group is located in the United States while Zhou Mengyao was an American Citizen. Whatever under her name was managed by the US government. Her assets are frozen. That means over fifty percent of Junhao Group’s shares held by her would be shelved. That will be a serious hit to Junhao Group!
It is almost a disruptive disaster!
Xia Ning reads the notice. Her face turns pale at once!
What happens? She knew nothing about that!
Xia Ning turns to look at An Zihao. An Zihao frowns tightly. He purses his lips so tightly that they become a line. An ominous feeling flashes in Xia Ning’s heart. Seemingly, An Zihao doesn’t know the notice either until now!
