Chapter 323 Meng Haowen's Choice
Mu Lingfeng said on the surface that he didn't care whether Yun Jin could come or not, but in fact he was looking forward to it in his heart. In order to wait for Yun Jin's arrival, he became the last person to enter the meeting room.
After entering, Mu Lingfeng sat in his original seat as a matter of course.
Staring at the seat that originally belonged to Old Madam Mu, Mu Lingfeng was filled with mixed emotions. The three people from their Mu family gathered here today just to fight for that seat.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started!" Mu Chengkun asked after seeing Mu Lingfeng sit down.
When everyone present heard Mu Chengkun say this, they all nodded.
"I'm sure everyone is clear about the topic of today's meeting, so there's no need for us to exchange pleasantries here. Let's get straight to the point!"
Seeing everyone nod, Mu Chengkun continued.
Next, the three candidates told their business philosophies to all the shareholders present. As the second master of the Mu family, Mu Chengkun was the first to speak on stage.
Next came Mu Yunzhu, and finally Mu Lingfeng.
Mu Yunzhu, who had never worked in a company before, originally planned to give up this election opportunity, but at Mu Lingfeng's strong request, she chose to participate.
It was because Mu Lingfeng said, "Aunt, as the legal heir of the Mu family, you also have the right to participate. Even if you are not elected in the end, the shareholders of the company will not ignore your existence."
In order to protect Mu Lingfeng, Mu Yunzhu finally agreed to become one of the candidates.
Many shareholders were surprised at Mu Yunzhu's candidacy, but when they thought of her identity, they also expressed their understanding. She was the legitimate heir of the Mu family, so why couldn't she participate?
After listening to Mu Yunzhu's business philosophy, many shareholders realized that such a perfect report would definitely not come from Mu Yunzhu's hand, and it was obviously Mu Lingfeng's work behind the scenes.
Mu Lingfeng's willingness to help Mu Yunzhu, his nominal competitor, proved that the two had a good relationship. For this reason, some shareholders present had some changes in their minds.
Mu Yunzhu and Mu Lingfeng joined forces to fight against Mu Chengkun, with a score of two to one. In addition, Mu Lingfeng was the person favored by Old Lady Mu before, so anyone with a discerning eye would know what to choose.
Mu Chengkun had never expected that Mu Yunzhu would agree to run for election. He also realized that this would be very disadvantageous to him, but things had already come to this, and he could only hope that the money he gave away last night would play a certain role today.
Last night, after they agreed to hold a shareholders' meeting today, Mu Chengkun asked Mu Shaoqing to start looking for those shareholders who had a good relationship with them, and to please them so that they would agree to vote for him, Mu Chengkun, today.
Before the meeting, Mu Chengkun calculated that through his actions, he and Mu Lingfeng would most likely end up in a tie, and the most crucial vote would be that of Meng Haowen.
As for Meng Haowen's vote, Mu Chengkun was very confident. Mu Shaoqing and Meng Qian were lovers now, and they would become relatives in the future.
Meng Haowen had no reason not to support his relative and go help outsiders.
Moreover, Meng Qian also vowed to him on the phone last night that today Meng Haowen would definitely cast his vote for Mu Chengkun.
Thinking of this, Mu Chengkun looked at Mu Lingfeng who was still talking on the stage and smiled coldly.
Mu Lingfeng, Mu Lingfeng, no matter how capable you are, once the Mu Group falls into my hands, I will make you get out.
"Please start voting now." At this moment, Mu Lingfeng had already introduced his business philosophy and future business policies. Mu Chengkun, the host of the meeting, immediately announced the start of voting.
The scene of Mu Lingfeng being kicked out of the company by him had already emerged in Mu Chengkun's mind.
There are a total of 50 shareholders of Mu's, big and small. Mu Yunzhu received 13 votes, Mu Chengkun received 18 votes, and Mu Lingfeng received 19 votes. In the end, Mu Lingfeng became the acting chairman of Mu's with one vote higher than Mu Chengkun.
"Impossible, how is this possible?" Seeing this result, Mu Chengkun couldn't believe his eyes.
Why, why did Meng Haowen cast that vote for Mu Lingfeng? If he had voted for me, today's result would be reversed.
"Mr. Meng, shouldn't you give me an explanation for today's results?" After the meeting, Mu Chengkun stopped Meng Haowen and asked.
Before Meng Haowen could answer, his phone rang. After taking a look at the caller ID, Meng Haowen said coldly, "It's my right to choose. I don't have to explain anything to anyone."
After saying that, Meng Haowen walked away, and Mu Chengkun was so angry that he cursed behind him, "My dear relative, I don't have a relative like you."
Thinking of this, Mu Chengkun rushed back to the office, called Mu Shaoqing in and scolded him.
After venting his anger, Mu Chengkun ordered Mu Shaoqing, "Break up with that girl from the Meng family right away. We in the Mu family cannot afford to support such a traitor."
"Dad, Uncle Meng might have had some reasons for doing that just now. Qianqian and I are fine. You can't let us break up because of this."
Mu Shaoqing could still tolerate Mu Chengkun's scolding just now, but when he heard that he was asked to break up with Meng Qian, Meng Shaoqing refused to accept it.
He had finally gotten Meng Qian, so how could Meng Shaoqing bear to part with her so easily?
"What difficulties does he have? I think he just thinks Mu Lingfeng is capable and can help him make money, so he voted for him."
Mu Chengkun didn't believe Mu Shaoqing's words at all.
In fact, as Mu Shaoqing said, Meng Haowen did have his reasons for voting for Mu Lingfeng.
At 6 o'clock this morning, Mu Lingfeng suddenly called him and asked him to meet.
"Why, today when we have to vote, you think of me, your uncle. What were you doing earlier?"
Meng Haowen has always been brooding over Mu Lingfeng's rejection of Meng Qian. Although he had been optimistic about Mu Lingfeng's abilities before, Meng Qian was his sweetheart. No matter how capable Mu Lingfeng was, it was impossible for him to bully his beloved daughter.
"It's indeed about the voting." Mu Lingfeng said without hiding it.
As soon as he said this, Meng Haowen became even more proud. "You little bastard, you dared to bully our Qianqian before. Now I'm going to let you know how powerful I am."
"Mr. Meng, please take a look at this first." Realizing what Meng Haowen was thinking, Mu Lingfeng stopped beating around the bush and threw a document heavily on the table.
"How do you get this?" After flipping through a few pages of paper, Meng Haowen's expression suddenly became nervous.
"If you don't want others to know, then you must not do it. Don't you feel guilty for using such means to obtain the development rights of that piece of land?"
Staring at Meng Haowen, Mu Lingfeng asked coldly.
"There is no evidence here that I spread this rumor. Why do you dare to use this to threaten me?"
Meng Haowen remembered that when rumors spread that the area was haunted, he did not show up. He was very sure that Mu Lingfeng would not be able to obtain much evidence.
In order to obtain the development rights for that piece of land, Meng Haowen hired people to spread rumors that the land was haunted. In order to make it more realistic, he even hired people to dress up as ghosts to scare people.
Those who lived there were frightened and sold their houses at extremely low prices. Meng Haowen took the opportunity to buy it.
After driving everyone away, Meng Haowen staged another show and found professionals to prove that the previous situations were not caused by ghosts, but were caused by special local geological phenomena.
With the professional's testimony, people were no longer afraid of that area. Also, the special geological phenomena there attracted the curiosity of many people, and as a result, the houses built by Meng there sold well.
Meng Haowen made a fortune from this.
"I really don't have any evidence to prove that you were behind this, but if I spread the news that this matter is related to you, do you think those reporters will dig deeper into the matter?"
Mu Lingfeng responded with a smile.
Recalling that someone had indeed made a fuss before, but he had suppressed it with strong measures, Meng Haowen felt very uneasy.
If Mu Lingfeng really leaked this news to the reporters and let those reporters bring up the old matter again, the Meng family would definitely not have peace.
After saying that, Mu Lingfeng glanced at Meng Haowen and walked away.
Staring at Mu Lingfeng's departing back, Meng Haowen sat there alone, his face becoming increasingly pale.
