Chapter 171 Zhang Yulan's failed attempt to seize power

Gu Yunchi and his second uncle Gu Qingdong looked at each other, both of them were full of doubts.

At this time, a shareholder spoke up, "This happened too suddenly. Chairman Gu was hospitalized, why didn't you notify us? We could have organized ourselves and gone to the hospital to visit him together."

Zhang Yulan put away her smile, looked at the shareholder who spoke, and said, "Mr. Huang, I have already said that our old man is fine and will be fine after a few days of rest. He doesn't want anyone to disturb him."

Huang Hongtao felt even more puzzled after hearing Zhang Yulan's explanation. He asked earnestly, "Madam Gu, I'm not being nosy, but Chairman Gu has a special status. If he really needs a break, shouldn't he have let us know in person?"

"In addition, there is another point. The affairs of Anyuan Group have always been handled by Chairman Gu, and you have never been involved. Now you suddenly come and say that you want to take over the affairs of the group. This approach is too hasty."

"Let's not talk about whether you have the ability to take over this business. Even if you have the ability, you don't understand the affairs of the group, right? Besides, there are so many of us sitting here, how can we let you do it yourself?"

"I think it would be more appropriate for you to take care of the chairman in the hospital, right?"

Zhang Yulan looked at Huang Hongtao with a smile on her face, but her hands under the table had already been clenched into fists.

"Mr. Huang, do you mean to oppose my mother handling the affairs of the group on behalf of my father?" The third brother Gu Qingsheng suddenly asked.

Huang Hongtao looked at Gu Qingsheng and said with a stern face: "Qingsheng, this is not a question of whether I object or not. I am thinking about our Anyuan Group. Your mother has always been a full-time housewife at home and has never been involved in business affairs."

"Now you're suddenly going to take over your father's position. How can we be at ease?"

After hearing this, most of the other people present nodded in support of Huang Hongtao.

"Yeah, how can a woman without any work experience just take over like that?"

"This is ridiculous. If Chairman Gu cannot handle the group's affairs, he should tell us in person."

"Exactly. Chairman Gu isn't the type to do things recklessly. Does he know you're doing this?"

Gu Qingsheng was annoyed, "Do you people look down on women? Although my mother has been a full-time housewife at home since she got married, don't forget how powerful her father, my grandfather, is."

Huang Hongtao looked at Gu Qingsheng and said, "Qingsheng, your grandfather is amazing, but that doesn't mean his children are amazing. Just like your father is amazing, what about your abilities?"

Gu Qingsheng's face turned ashen, "Uncle Huang, you are right, my ability is indeed far inferior to my father's, but don't forget, Anyuan Group belongs to our Gu family, and my mother also has shares."

"Qingsheng, you're going too far," Gu Qingdong finally spoke. "Uncle Huang is right. From the perspective of a shareholder, he does have the right to question something like this."

"Not only him, I also want to ask, Mom, does Dad know you did this?"

Zhang Yulan glanced at her second son and said, "I don't know. I didn't tell him. I didn't want him to worry. I hope he can recuperate in peace. Besides, I think I have the ability to handle the group's business."

Gu Qingdong looked at Zhang Yulan in disbelief, "Mom, although you also have shares in the group, what you are doing is indeed against the rules. The position where Dad sits is not open to anyone who wants to sit."

"Even if you are his wife, it's not possible. What's more, when I went to the hospital to see Dad yesterday, he didn't say that he wanted you to take over his shift. He was communicating with his secretary about work over the phone."

Zhang Yulan was annoyed. She glared at her son and asked, "Gu Qingdong, are you really my son? Are you objecting to me sitting in this seat? What if I insist on sitting here?"

Gu Qingdong was also annoyed, "You are not qualified, let alone being a shareholder of our company. I am the first one to disagree."

Gu Qingsheng stood up and said, "Second brother, are you being disloyal? Or do you want to sit in this seat yourself?"

Gu Qingdong glanced at the third brother and said, "Third brother, think before you speak. Mom does what she wants and you follow her? Well, then let's ask Dad's opinion first."

As Gu Qingdong spoke, he picked up his phone and called his father on video.

Gu Hean quickly answered, "Second brother, that's great, I want to find you too."

Gu Qingdong interrupted his father, "Dad, please let me speak first. It's urgent. We are in the conference room now. Mom suddenly came over and said she wants to take over your job. Did you know about this?"

Gu Hean was so shocked that his voice trembled as he spoke, "What did you say? Your mother ran to the company? To take over my job? Who asked her to do that?"

Gu Qingdong glanced at his mother Zhang Yulan and said, "She came here by herself."

Gu Hean was furious, "Nonsense, what does she think of her company? How dare she do whatever she wants? You keep an eye on her, I'm going back right now and I'm going to complete the discharge procedures right away."

After Gu Hean hung up the video, he asked the housekeeper to call the dean over and complete the discharge procedures for him.

The dean was actually very embarrassed about Gu He's pretending to be sick. This kind of fraud was actually very easy to be discovered.

But Gu Hean is the boss, and the boss is willful, so he can only accompany him.

When he heard that Gu Hean was about to be discharged from the hospital and had urgent matters to deal with at the group, he let Gu Hean go first and he would handle the rest.

Gu Hean rushed back to the group within half an hour and went straight to the meeting room.

The shareholders in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him back and looking good.

Huang Hongtao stood up and came over to ask in a low voice, "Old Gu, you scared us to death. Why didn't you tell us that you were not feeling well? My sister-in-law suddenly came over and said she wanted to take over your affairs. This..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine now," Gu Hean comforted Huang Hongtao. He looked at Zhang Yulan who was sitting in his seat and said angrily, "How long are you going to sit there? Get up now!"

Zhang Yulan rolled her eyes at Gu Hean, slowly took out a piece of paper from her bag and slapped it on the table, saying in a cold voice: "I request the removal of Gu Hean as chairman. The reason is that he has liver cancer, and it is in the late stage."

The shareholders were all shocked and rushed to ask Gu Hean what was going on.

Gu Hean did not respond to those questions, but instead questioned Zhang Yulan, "Who told you that I have liver cancer?"

Zhang Yulan curled her lips proudly, "I won't hide it from you, I have an insider in Shengde."

Gu Hean guessed right, but Zhang Yulan's insider was too unreliable. He didn't even figure out such a big mistake and just made a blind report to Zhang Yulan. No wonder Zhang Yulan dared to come directly to the company to show off.

Gu Hean originally wanted to lie to Gu Yunchi about his cancer, but now that the situation has turned out like this, he can only give up this plan.

He shook his head and smiled, then said to Zhang Yulan, "I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. My diagnosis of liver cancer was actually a mistake made by an intern in the hospital. They confused my case with the case of another cancer patient with the same name as me."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Dean Dong. If you want to see my medical records, you can also ask Dean Dong."
