Yang Zi clenched her fists tightly, never expecting that the trademark would end up in Xi Yue's hands and that Xi Quan would say such a thing about it.
Glancing at Yang Zi's utterly dejected expression, Xi Quan continued, "Even setting aside the trademark issue for now, just talking about the shares, I don't quite understand where your confidence comes from, Ms. Yang. Do you really think Liu Yuliang's mother can just sell the shares as she pleases?"
Before Yang Zi could even finish speaking, Liu Yuliang's mother, who had been silent all along, suddenly jumped up and said, "Of course I can make decisions for my son. Besides, my son said he would give me the shares."
Yang Zi certainly heard Xi Quan's words, but before she could figure out what he meant, she heard Liu Yuliang's mother's arrogant voice, which made her stop thinking about what Xi Quan meant.
Although Liu Yuliang knew what had happened, his mother's attitude still made him feel very embarrassed.
The board meeting was convened to discuss this very issue, and now that we're back on this topic, the shareholders are naturally very interested.
Although Liu Yuliang's mother's attitude was not good, everyone could tolerate it because what they were more concerned about now was who Liu Yuliang's shares had been given to.
Although Liu Yuliang studied design, he is now a professional manager and holds a controlling stake. Under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable for Liu Yuliang to so casually dispose of the shares and give them to his mother.
So regardless of the board's stance on Jiang Xinya's issue, they will not let go of the opportunity to challenge the board's control in this matter.
So everyone turned their attention to Liu Yuliang without prior arrangement.
Liu Yuliang's mother seemed completely oblivious to the impact her attitude had on her son. She even gave everyone a smug and provocative look before urging Liu Yuliang, "Yuliang, why don't you tell everyone what you think?"
Although having thoughts of not acknowledging one's mother might seem unfilial, that's Liu Yuliang's current thought—he just wants his mother to keep quiet for now.
But instead of calming down, the mother acted arrogantly, thinking that Xiaoyue was still avoiding her openly and secretly, and that Xiaoyue hadn't even let her go with her when she returned to her parents' home three days after the wedding.
Of course, Xu Xiaoyue didn't go back to her parents' home three days after the wedding; she told her grandparents she was on a trip.
Previously, Ye Qing told Liu Yuliang that Xu Xiaoyue had thoughts of getting a divorce. At that time, Liu Yuliang was surprised, but he knew that Ye Qing was not lying. However, he thought that there was still room for maneuver. But Xu Xiaoyue's attitude made Liu Yuliang more and more worried.
Thinking about all this, I hadn't originally planned to speak, but I thought that when Xi Quan and Ye Qing said something and needed my verification, I would just speak up to confirm some things.
Now that his mother was acting this way, Liu Yuliang couldn't stay silent any longer. He spoke up before Xi Quan could: "When I told you I would give you the shares, it was just to appease you. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't give them to you. Although I have shares, there were agreements in the contract regarding the sale or gifting of those shares."
Liu Yuliang's mother naturally didn't understand what Liu Yuliang meant, but judging from everyone's reactions, it seemed that the matter of the shares might have changed. She stood up nervously and looked at Liu Yuliang: "Son, what do you mean?"
Liu Yuliang glanced at his mother, said nothing, and then addressed the others in the conference room again: "The original contract was signed under the supervision of the company's legal counsel. The company's legal counsel knows the contents of the contract, but since there are people in the conference room who are not from the company, the contents of the contract cannot be disclosed."
Furthermore, due to confidentiality clauses, I cannot show the contract to the board members. However, regardless, please rest assured that there will be absolutely no problems with the shares I hold. To put it bluntly, the shares held by the board members may be traded due to interests or other issues, but I will not. Because doing so would be a breach of contract, and the consequences of breaching a contract are very serious.
After Liu Yuliang finished speaking, Xi Quan followed up, saying, "Regarding the shares held by Liu Yuliang, as he said, there are indeed strict restrictions on transactions and gifts. Due to confidentiality, the original contract certainly cannot be shown to everyone. However, to avoid anyone thinking that Liu Yuliang and I colluded, I have had my lawyer make separate copies of some of the restrictions on the original contract, which everyone can take a look at."
As he spoke, Xi Quan opened the folder and handed out the photocopies he had prepared beforehand to everyone.
Some details of the original contract that should not be known to the public were completely covered with white paper during the photocopying process. Therefore, the photocopy shows that it is a key part cut from a complete contract, and it contains Liu Yuliang's signature, Xi Quan's signature and seal, etc.
Everyone was relieved and also looked at Xi Quan with new respect. They hadn't expected Xi Quan to be so prepared, having already taken precautions against all possible events before they even occurred.
Although he was not old, or the people in the conference room, except for Ye Qing and Liu Yuliang, were all older than Xi Quan, and some of them were old enough to be Xi Quan's fathers, he was still no match for Xi Quan in terms of methods and shrewdness.
Looking at the documents in their hands, they were truly convinced.
Yang Zi never expected things to turn out this way!
She looked anxiously at the veterans who had founded Zitai Fashion with her. Once upon a time, those people had followed her every word.
However, now...
"Xi Quan, don't think you can get away with this by just trying to fool people with a fake document!" Yang Zi said fiercely.
Xi Quan curled his lips into a forced smile and said, "Fake? Forging a contract can lead to lawsuits, and you might even go to jail. I have a wife and children; I don't have that kind of guts."
Also, if you really suspect that my contract is forged, then you are welcome to call the police and let them investigate me.
Although I'm not a law student, I do know some common sense. If you're not a party with a stake in the contract, it seems like none of this concerns you. Of course, as a citizen, you have the right to doubt me, so I welcome you to report me to the police. Once the police have investigated and proven my innocence, I think that will be more convincing than me saying a thousand times that I didn't do it.
Yang Zi twitched the corners of her mouth, looking a little embarrassed.
But if you think Xi Quan will let it go, you'd be sorely mistaken. He said, "You can call the police, I welcome that, but..."
At this point, Yang Zi felt as if she had finally caught Xi Quan in the act, and she sneered, "But? What? Mr. Xi, are you feeling guilty too?"
