"That's it." Lin Que slapped Gu Yibei's shoulder hard, but the latter immediately dodged and kicked him instead.

"Ouch..." Lin Que looked at Gu Yibei with a mournful expression, as if to say, "Am I not your favorite little baby anymore?"

Gu Yibei simply ignored it.

"Bai Chuan." Lin Que rubbed his calf and said, "What are you still standing there for? I'm giving you a chance to make amends. Two hours. Go and find out who the current CEO of ZN is."

Then he gave Shirakawa a wink.

Bai Chuan immediately understood that Lin Que was saving him.

Shirakawa cast a grateful glance his way and immediately stood up: "I'll go check right away."

...

Two hours later, Shirakawa returned with a large stack of documents.

Lin Que lay on the sofa, his feet propped up on the coffee table, casually eating an orange, while Gu Yibei worked on his laptop beside him.

Upon seeing Bai Chuan arrive, Lin Que first glanced at Gu Yibei, then looked down at his watch, swallowed the orange in his mouth, and his lips twitched.

"Big brother, you're really obedient. I gave you two hours, and you actually took two hours to come back. Is this your attitude of making amends?"

Lin Que looked at Gu Yibei and said seriously, "Look at Bai Chuan, he's been getting less and less serious about his work lately. Don't you also dislike him? How about sending him to Africa to work in the mines as a foreman?"

"Mr. Lin!" Bai Chuan was pale and almost knelt down to kowtow to Lin Que, begging for mercy.

"It's not that I'm procrastinating, it's just that it's really hard to find. It took me two hours to find even a single clue."

Gu Yibei put down the computer, looked up, and said in a calm tone, "Data."

"Yes, sir."

Shirakawa immediately sent the information up.

Open the document; the first page is the list of ZN's shareholders, containing the names of all those who hold ZN shares.

Xing Minggao now holds a stable second position with a 30% stake, while the first place belongs to...

"Ji Zhinan?!"

Lin Que, who had come closer to look, read out Xing Minggao's name and asked in confusion, "Why does this sound like a girl's name?"

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, widening them even further.

He looked, and he looked again.

He should still be called Ji Zhinan.

Ji Zhinan holds 51% of Z.N's shares, firmly holding the top position.

Since its bankruptcy, ZN has very few shareholders left, just a handful.

Apart from Ji Zhinan and Xing Minggao holding large shares, the other shareholders each only hold a few percent of the shares, which is not much.

"My goodness." Lin Que swallowed hard, looking like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world: "Holding 51% of the shares, even if someone wanted to rebel, they probably wouldn't be able to."

In company power struggles, shareholding is paramount; only those with the most shares can become executive officers. To oust someone, one must acquire shares from others, thus increasing their own stake.

This is why, in novels or in the real business world, some people try every means to acquire shares.

This Ji Zhinan owns more than half of the shares. Even if someone wanted to rebel against her, the total number of shares held by all the others would not exceed that of Ji Zhinan.

Ji Zhinan has firmly secured his position as CEO of ZN.

"..." Gu Yibei remained silent, his cold, dark eyes fixed on Ji Zhinan's name for a long time, as if he were lost in thought...

"Ji Zhinan, Ji... wait a minute!" Lin Que's eyes widened as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
