Chapter 128 The Battle for Succession (Part 2)
What? ?
Is Xu Li'an on the way?
Is this true or false?
Shen Baichuan's heart tightened, he had clearly sent people to surround Xu Li'an's house.
Now there is only one possibility, Jiang Yuli also sent people there?
Calm down!
Xu Lian may not have another will in his hands.
"Since Lawyer Xu is still on his way, there's no need to wait for him." Shen Qiao took a seal from the secretary behind him, pressed it firmly on the will, and said loudly, "Everyone, look carefully, this will has my grandfather's autograph and seal - and now, the seal is in my hand, he handed it to me personally!"
He looked around the room, his face serious and his voice resonant: "Now, who still doubts my eligibility to be the heir?"
I opened the old man's safe and found everything inside.
A mere seal is nothing.
Shen Baichuan immediately stood up and spoke: "As everyone knows, my father's favorite person during his lifetime was my son Shen Qiao. He joined the company before he even graduated, and is now the group's vice president. Although some of his decisions are immature, he is still young - I believe that he will become an excellent leader in the future, living up to my father's trust and the expectations of all shareholders!"
There was sporadic applause in the conference hall.
"I agree! The chairman's seal isn't given to anyone casually!"
"Mr. Shen, no, I'll call you Mr. Shen from now on! Young and promising!"
"The old man is really confused. What was he thinking? He chose you instead of someone as capable as President Jiang?"
"I need to think about selling my shares!" The man looked at Jiang Yuli and said, "Mr. Jiang, you said before that you wanted to buy my shares. Does that still count?"
Shen Baichuan and Shen Qiao both looked at Jiang Yuli.
Jiang Yuli also secretly bought shareholders' shares?
When Jiang Zhao came last year, Jiang Yuli introduced him to him. It seems that this shareholder guessed that the person who wanted to buy shares was actually him, not Jiang Zhao.
"Of course it counts," Jiang Yuli said casually. "I've worked at Baichuan for over two years, and I've developed a strong connection to the group. Being a major shareholder wouldn't be bad either."
Shen Baichuan stared at him angrily. Jiang Yuli must be mentally ill, and his ghost is still haunting him!
If it were him, he would not have the face to stay in the company.
The shareholder nodded quickly: "Okay, then we'll talk about it in detail later."
"Don't regret it! Baichuan Group will never fall into decline if it's handed over to me!" Shen Qiao shouted unconvincedly, "If my uncle can do it, I can do it too!"
"My son will only do better." Shen Baichuan looked at Jiang Yuli coldly, "Brother, thank you for your contribution to the company in the past two years. But in the final analysis... the old man doesn't love you, after all."
Jiang Yuli still sat in the main seat, lazily raising his cold black eyes: "I don't want his love."
He no longer needed it when he was eight.
The fatherly love he felt was never given to him by Shen Zeming.
Shen Baichuan sneered in his heart, saying as if he didn’t care, but in fact he couldn’t get it.
“Okay, after saying so much, Lawyer Xu hasn’t arrived yet, and he probably won’t come.” Shen Baichuan raised his voice, “I propose that we hold the chairman handover ceremony now!”
This kind of thing must not be delayed.
The longer it took, the more uneasy he became.
Just then, the door opened.
Except for Jiang Yuli, everyone looked towards the door.
The person who came in was Jiang Yuli's assistant Zhao Kai.
He had a fierce look on his face and his clothes were wrinkled, as if he had just fought with someone.
He stepped aside and Xu Lian, wearing glasses, walked in steadily.
Xu Lian nodded to Jiang Yuli, and Jiang Yuli nodded slightly in response.
Xu Li'an stood beside Jiang Yuli and took out a will from his briefcase. "Everyone, I have the chairman's will in my hands. Now I will read it to you."
“Wait a minute, what makes you say that the will in your hand is real?” Shen Baichuan immediately retorted, expressing strong dissatisfaction.
"Our will is a real will."
Xu Li'an glanced at the will on the table and said, "This will is indeed real. The old man asked me to make it three years ago when he was in the hospital."
Chen Qiao immediately smiled, "Okay, then you read it!"
"You don't need to read!" Shen Baichuan stopped him sternly.
Shen Qiao didn't understand. Since it was a real will, why couldn't it be read?
Xu Li'an was about to start reading the will, but Shen Baichuan tried to rush forward to grab it, but was stopped by Zhao Kai.
Xu Li'an pushed his glasses and read out solemnly:
"I, Shen Zeming, as the founder and chairman of Baichuan Group, have, after careful consideration, hereby declare that all equity and business management rights under my name will be handed over to Jiang Yuli.
I deeply regret my past neglect of your care and love. Over the past two years, you have managed the company with leadership skills, exceptional business acumen, and foresight that have far surpassed my expectations. I am deeply proud of your strategic planning, your forge ahead, and your ability to overcome challenges time and again.
I feel incredibly at ease entrusting Baichuan to you, and this is a belated recognition and trust in you. I hope you will lead the company forward with your vision and wisdom, living up to our original aspirations and worthy of the future.
Testator: Shen Zeming
Date: March 3, 2026.
After reading, Xu Li'an calmly looked at all the shareholders, directors, and executives in the conference room and continued, "According to the relevant provisions of our country's inheritance law, if there are multiple valid wills and the contents are conflicting, the latest will shall prevail. Therefore, although the will in Mr. Shen's hand is authentic, it was made three years ago; my will is the most recent one and has the final legal effect."
“I don’t believe it!” Shen Baichuan yelled, “Everyone knows that my dad hates Jiang Yuli, how could I possibly hand over the company to him!”
"Don't forget—Baichuan Group is named after me! How could I possibly give it to him!" He pointed fiercely at Jiang Yuli, "If you can't provide me with convincing evidence, I will never recognize your will!"
"Everyone has a will, don't talk about the law! We have a seal, what else do you have?" Shen Baichuan pressed on step by step.
Jiang Yuli gently pushed his hand away and said calmly, "Big Brother is indeed a lawless criminal. He even disregards the laws of the country."
"Jiang Yuli, if you don't have any other evidence, then you don't have any. Why are you talking about other things?" Shen Baichuan said disdainfully, "The chairman's seal is in our hands!"
Jiang Yuli nodded slightly, "You opened Dad's safe, so it's not surprising that it's in your hands."
"You, you...how did you know?" Shen Baichuan was shocked and scared.
"There are so many people in this old house, brother, do you really think you can hide this from anyone?" Jiang Yuli sneered, "Admit it, your confidentiality skills are not as good as mine. You don't even know when I returned to China."
"Don't talk nonsense to me!" Shen Baichuan forced himself to be calm, "You weren't around when Dad left! How could an unfilial son like you take over the company? It's impossible even if you think about it!"
"How do you know I didn't go to see him?" Jiang Yuli raised his eyes, his voice still calm, "You weren't staying at the hospital."
