It was like two people exchanging glances, trying to detect the sparks of war.
After questioning them, the shareholders realized that Aunt Zhou hadn't said a word the whole time, treating them like noisy mosquitoes. They immediately deflated and sullenly sat back down in their chairs.
Most shareholders are wise and loyal to Grandma Zhou.
They unconditionally supported the people chosen by Old Mrs. Zhou.
Therefore, after drinking a cup of tea to calm down, one of the representatives spoke up: "In the end, we trust you, which is why we give you so much power in the company."
“There have been a lot of rumors circulating online lately, and we’ve all pretended not to see them. But now even the new product has been postponed. Now explain to us what you’re going to do next.”
"What's your plan if the improvement fails?"
"Bring us the project proposal to take a look."
As long as Aunt Zhou's business plan is approved by the majority of shareholders, they will not make things difficult for her.
Many shareholders were thinking this to themselves.
All the shareholders turned to look at Aunt Zhou, and Aunt Zhou lived up to their expectations and stepped forward. Her secretary, who was standing to the side, immediately understood and brought over a business plan.
"Dear shareholders, I—"
"Bang—" Just as everyone calmed down and was preparing to listen to Aunt Zhou's plan, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly—
Suddenly, someone broke into the conference room!
Moreover, several uniformed police officers barged in. After scanning the room and showing their identification, they asked, "Are you the acting president of the Zhou Group?"
“We received a report and there is evidence pointing to your involvement in murder and poisoning.”
"Please come with us."
The hundred or so people in the conference room stared in disbelief at the police officers who burst in, their expressions changing slightly. Only after seeing the identification in the officers' hands did they come to their senses.
Is Aunt Zhou suspected of murder and poisoning?
Could the previous newspapers be true?
Everyone's face showed disbelief, and they were all astonished and wanted to see Aunt Zhou's reaction.
Aunt Zhou's reaction was even more unexpected.
They thought Aunt Zhou would be furious or immediately call a lawyer to clear her name.
But Aunt Zhou remained calm, as if she didn't care: "This must be a slander. I have never done anything wrong."
One of the police officers squinted and said, "We just received a report and now we need your cooperation."
Aunt Zhou showed no remorse after being caught doing something wrong; she remained calm and even stood up, saying, "No problem, I'm happy to cooperate with the police."
"After all, if you are upright, you have nothing to fear."
Aunt Zhou turned to face the shareholders and said calmly, "Shareholders, today's meeting is adjourned for the time being."
"I will give everyone an explanation after I have completed my cooperation with the police investigation."
After saying that.
Aunt Zhou gave her secretary a few more instructions before leaving with the police.
In the conference room, everyone watched as Aunt Zhou was taken away by the police, and after hearing the words about poisoning, other thoughts began to arise in their minds.
Company executives even whispered among themselves in front of the shareholders.
"Were the previous reports all true? Could she really be trying to harm the heir? If she's convicted, President Zhou will probably go to jail."
"If the police dared to come to the company and take the president away directly, they must have evidence. It's probably not just a rumor. I guess I need to contact another company soon."
"I've worked at Zhou's for thirty years and finally got promoted. Now Zhou's is about to change? I'm so unlucky."
Although the conversation among the senior executives was not loud, since it took place in a conference room, some of the words that were spoken inevitably reached the ears of Zhou's shareholders, causing their faces to turn from pale to ashen.
They got to their positions by taking sides to some extent.
Once Aunt Zhou steps down.
Then, all those who followed Aunt Zhou will be purged.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet."
"Although the acting president has been taken away, the Zhou family will never collapse because of internal strife."
One of the shareholders stepped forward and emphasized the words "acting president," as if to remind everyone that Aunt Zhou was never the company president; she was just a temporary substitute.
"The best course of action now is to select someone who can take charge of the overall situation to assume the position of president."
"Only in this way can we stabilize the morale of the company and deal with those comments from the outside world."
"I'm here to recommend our existing shareholders!"
"After all, he is an old man who has been with Grandma Zhou since she founded the Zhou Group. He knows everything about the Zhou Group and has the ability to manage the current Zhou Group well."
The other shareholders all frowned upon hearing this, for everyone knew that this person was very close to the old shareholders, practically inseparable.
Everyone knows what they're up to.
Some shareholders who were loyal to Mrs. Zhou immediately stood up and expressed their strong opposition: "President Zhou has only been temporarily called in to cooperate with the investigation. She has not been convicted yet. You are already eager to elect a new president. Aren't your ambitions too blatant?"
"Everyone can see how capable President Zhou has been over the past few years. I do not agree to nominate a new president to take over now."
"That's right! President Zhou left without knowing what was going on. What's the meaning of your eagerness to take over?"
"........"
Watching the two shareholders argue, the neutral shareholders remained silent, neither supporting an immediate change of shareholders nor taking sides with President Zhou.
After arguing for an hour without reaching a conclusion, the meeting was acrimoniously ended.
The Zhou faction shareholders, who were arguing heatedly, were the first to leave the meeting room, followed by the centrist shareholders.
Until only a few shareholders remained in the entire conference room.
One shareholder slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, yelling, "Old shareholders, look at them! These stubborn old fogies are really disrespecting you!"
"The acting president has been arrested, and they still have to side with the Zhou family."
"It seems impossible to persuade them. I think we should think of a way to deal with them."
The old shareholder sat leisurely in his chair, his right thumb gently stroking the pattern on the teacup, exuding an air of ease and composure, as if everything was in his own hands.
"Don't worry, they'll change their minds soon."
The old shareholder chuckled knowingly, and abruptly stood up and left while the other shareholders were still in shock.
He seemed to accept today's outcome with equanimity.
The remaining shareholders felt a chill run down their spines. Although they couldn't understand the old shareholder's next move, the old shareholder was too calm!
He remained calm, as if everything that happened was part of his plan.
As the old shareholder walked out of the meeting room, he noticed that all the company employees were subtly glancing at him. With a faint smile on his face, he left the company.
