Chapter 480: Too Rampant
The old man hummed and said, "Since you're here, please sit down. I just happened to have something to announce. It's a good thing you're here, so I don't have to say it again."
Helan Tianyu couldn't help but frown, a bad feeling arose in his heart, and his face became a little ugly.
Compared with Helan Tianyou's leisurely appearance, it is a world of difference.
He found an empty seat and sat down without hesitation.
The old man sat upright in the main seat, looking at everyone with a serious face.
Although the old man is very old, he still gives people a sense of majesty and an invisible sense of oppression.
Therefore, the people present still had a sense of awe towards him.
Even though he is old, he still has the ruthlessness of his youth.
The old man spoke with full energy, "I invited everyone here today because I have something to announce. I'm getting old, and I'm not up to the task of handling many things at the company. It's a young world these days, so I plan to step down as chairman."
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
Some people looked at Helan Tianyu, while others looked at Helan Lingshuang who was sitting next to the old man.
Everyone knows Helan Lingshuang's status in the Helan family.
What's more, before this, Helan Lingshuang's brother Helan Qiuze was the old man's heir.
Everyone thought that after Helan Qiuze got into trouble, this position would fall to Helan Tianyu, but the old man delayed announcing it. Instead, he took power again and gave half of the company's rights to the first wife.
"I plan to pass this position to..."
As the old man spoke, his eyes swept over Helan Tianyou and Helan Tianyu who were present.
At this time, Ella coughed lightly.
The old man paused and said, "The group has a new project recently. Whoever gets the cooperation with DK Group first will get this position."
Helan Tianyou was a little stunned. He asked, "Grandpa, do I want to join in too?"
The old man glanced at him and asked, "Do you think you have this ability?"
Helan Tianyou touched his nose and replied with two words very self-awarely: "No."
The old man looked at Helan Tianyu and Ella and said, "Whoever of you wins this cooperation first will get my position. The deadline is one month."
After hearing these words, Helan Tianyu's uneasiness in his heart disappeared.
He didn't expect that this was what the old man wanted to talk about.
As long as he doesn't give this position directly to someone from the first wife, it means there is still hope.
In terms of business strategy, he thought he was better than Helan Lingshuang.
He looked at Ella, who was somewhat dazed, curled the corners of his lips, and then looked at the old man and said, "Since Grandpa has said so, then I will respectfully obey your orders. I also hope that what Grandpa said today will be fulfilled faithfully when the time comes. All the directors present are witnesses."
The old man looked at him sharply, then smiled and said, "Old man, I will keep my word, but I have a request."
"Grandpa, please speak."
"Competition is fine, but it shouldn't hurt brothers and sisters. What I want to see is fair competition, not shady tricks."
Helan Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa."
The old man still favors Helan Lingshuang, and he is used to it.
To get the cooperation with DK, he doesn't need to touch her at all, nor does he need to use any shady tricks.
Then, the old man looked at Ella who was silent beside him.
"Shuang'er, did you hear everything Grandpa said?"
Ella looked at him and raised an eyebrow. This was not part of her plan at all.
This old man actually changed her plan without permission.
The old man also winked at her, meaning that she should cooperate with him.
“…”
Now that things have come to this, what else can she say?
"I heard it."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I've finished the first thing I wanted to say today. Now I'm going to talk about the second thing."
"The second thing is that starting today, Helan Lingshuang will officially join HL Group as the Deputy CEO."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone objected.
"Chairman, Ling Shuang has never been involved in the company's business. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to give her this position right from the start."
"Yes, Chairman, Ling Shuang has no experience, and she is still a girl. It is not easy to convince others."
"If Miss Ling Shuang wants to join the group, she can consider starting from the bottom. This will not affect her and Young Master Tianyu's competition for the position of chairman. After all, she needs to accumulate some experience, otherwise it will be difficult to convince others, Chairman."
“…”
Someone wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the old man raising his hand.
"Alright, I know everything you've said. I've already made up my mind." The old man glanced at everyone and spoke in a deep voice, "Also, who told you Shuang'er has no management experience? She's already taken over the group's affairs, but some of you just didn't know. Regarding those major projects, did you all think I was behind the scenes? In reality, it was Shuang'er who was controlling everything. I, old man, was just her shield."
After the old man finished speaking, those who didn't know the truth were stunned.
Including Helan Tianyu and Helan Tianyou.
Helan Tianyou was fine, he was just a little surprised, but then he let it go.
He's not interested in any of this anyway.
On the contrary, Helan Tianyu's complexion, which had just improved a little, now unconsciously darkened again.
He didn't realize that she had any contact with the company's affairs.
The secret was kept very secret.
He glanced at the old man casually.
Afterwards, several people who knew the situation began to speak in support of Helan Lingshuang.
Although some people wanted to stand on Helan Tianyu's side, they switched sides because of the old man's presence.
When it comes to interests, they will naturally choose the side with more power.
Although Helan Tianyu had contacted them before and asked them to convene a board meeting and vote to support him as the new CEO, the meeting ended before it even began.
This is enough to prove that the old man knows everything and his mind is as clear as a mirror.
“…”
The so-called banquet is just an excuse.
The old man called everyone to the old house for two reasons.
The first point was to stop the meeting to replace the chairman, and the second point was to tell everyone that he was not dead yet, and he had the final say on whether to give up the position and how to give it up.
At the same time, it is also a warning to those who pretend to obey but actually disobey.
On the surface, this seems to be just an ordinary gathering, but the real purpose is self-evident.
After lunch, everyone dispersed.
