"You've decided to hold a meeting?"
Lin Hongmei almost laughed out of anger. She crossed her arms, and although she was petite and not particularly tall, her powerful aura seemed to envelop the entire spacious office.
She stared intently at the person in front of her and coldly questioned, "Who are you? What gives you the right to make this decision?"
Hearing this, Lin Yaodong gave a helpless, bitter smile. He waved his hand gently and said, "Oh dear, my great-niece, don't be so anxious! Look, this news was only released less than a day ago, and our company's stock has already dropped by a full three percent! Those shareholders are all as anxious as ants on a hot pan, rushing to me to complain. What can I do? I'm forced into this situation!"
Then, Lin Yaodong changed the subject and began to berate Lin Hongmei's father: "And your father, this kid is usually a very steady and reliable person, who knew he would make such a serious mistake this time! Sigh... I really don't know what to say about him." As he spoke, Lin Yaodong frowned, shook his head and sighed repeatedly, looking heartbroken and disappointed, making it seem as if he was very unwilling to come to the company to deal with these troublesome matters.
Just then, a crisp knocking sound rang out.
Lin Hongmei turned around and saw the office door slowly open, and a figure in a sharp suit appeared in the doorway.
This man was Lin Yaozu. He first nodded respectfully to Lin Yaodong, then smiled and greeted the others in the room, saying, "Uncle Dong, everyone is here. Oh, so Hongmei is here too! That's wonderful!"
"That's quite a coincidence. Thank you all for your hard work in preparing for this."
Having finally regained her composure, Lin Hongmei smiled slightly at Lin Yaozu, then reached out and took Mu Liuyun's hand, stepping lightly out of the office.
Once they were out of Lin Yaozu and Lin Yaodong's sight, Lin Hongmei stopped and looked at Mu Liuyun beside her with a guilty expression. She said softly, "Little Yun, I'm so sorry that you stumbled upon such a scene on your first visit."
She paused briefly, then said, "Why don't you leave first? I need to take care of this matter properly."
However, Mu Liuyun shook her head firmly, looked at Lin Hongmei with piercing eyes, and said resolutely, "Big sister, it's okay, I'll stay with you."
Seeing his stubbornness, Lin Hongmei felt a surge of warmth in her heart and nodded slightly, replying, "Alright then."
So the two walked side by side into the spacious conference room next to the president's office.
At this moment, the conference room was packed with people.
As is well known, the Lin Group is a large enterprise controlled by the most prominent and wealthy family in Jincheng. This so-called shareholders' meeting is actually more like a family gathering.
Whether it's the renowned Lin family or the well-connected Chu family, their immense wealth means they don't need external funding. Therefore, almost everyone present is a member of the Lin family.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Mu Liuyun: the average age of everyone in the room was at least fifty or older, and she couldn't find a single person who was even slightly younger.
Has the Lin family really reached such a state of decline, with no successor in sight?
Mu Liuyun suddenly understood why Lin Hongmei and her other sisters looked at her with the same gaze they had on the future of the Lin family.
At this moment, Lin Yaodong was sitting in the seat that should have belonged to Lin Hongmei and Lin Jianguo.
The rest of the group, led by Lin Yaozu, stared at Lin Hongmei and Mu Liuyun with mocking expressions, as if they were enjoying a good show about to begin.
Mu Liuyun was always good at reading people's expressions. Seeing this, she quickly moved a stool from the side and placed it steadily below the LED screen facing the main seat, in the place where there should have been nothing.
Lin Hongmei was quite unceremonious. She walked forward gracefully, crossed her legs elegantly, and sat down comfortably.
In an instant, a powerful aura of a female CEO emanated from her, making people afraid to look directly at her.
Apart from Lin Yaodong, everyone else present involuntarily lowered their heads, seemingly overwhelmed by his imposing aura.
However, Lin Yaodong remained with that ambiguous smile, making it difficult for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
Mu Liuyun stood aside and looked through a document that Lin Hongmei had given him before she came into the room.
Information about these people is above.
After Lin Hongmei took her seat, Lin Yaozu, who was sitting next to Lin Yaodong, stood up slowly with a smile. He first bowed slightly to everyone present before speaking: "Dear shareholders, good morning! On behalf of all the employees of our company, I, Lin Yaozu, would like to express our sincerest and warmest welcome and heartfelt gratitude to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting! The purpose of our gathering here today for this emergency shareholders' meeting is to help each and every shareholder resolve their concerns!"
At this point, Lin Yaozu paused briefly, surveyed the room, and continued, "As you all know, a major event has recently occurred. Director Lin Jianguo was unfortunately apprehended in the United States. As soon as this news spread, our Lin Group's stock plummeted like a burst dam, undoubtedly bringing enormous pressure and challenges to our company. I know you are all deeply concerned about this, which is why we have gathered here today to discuss countermeasures."
After speaking, Lin Yaozu glanced at Lin Hongmei beside him without leaving a trace, then turned his gaze to Lin Yaodong not far away and said with a smile, "Now, let's invite our family's highly respected elder, Mr. Lin Yaodong, to say a few words to everyone."
Even though the head of the Ming family, Lin Hongmei, was sitting right there, Lin Yaozu insisted on letting Lin Yaodong speak first. What was the deeper meaning behind this? Anyone with a bit of sense could probably understand it pretty well.
"Yaozu, look at you, what's the rush? Let Hongmei speak first."
Lin Yaodong glared at Lin Yaozu reproachfully, then pointed his palm in the direction where Lin Hongmei was.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately began chattering before Lin Hongmei could react.
"Uncle Dong, this is a catastrophe for the company at best, and a catastrophe for the Lin family at worst!"
"We are not questioning Hongmei's abilities, it's just that she is too young."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Dong, you're the one who should be in charge. We'll all listen to you."
After these people finished speaking, Lin Yaodong put on that helpless look again and looked at Lin Hongmei: "Hongmei, look, this is so embarrassing."
"It's alright, Uncle Dong, you go first."
"Then allow me to take advantage of my age, haha."
“Sit down, old Deng.”
Just as Lin Yaodong was about to stand up, Mu Liuyun suddenly spoke up.
"I originally thought that as an elder of the Lin family, you would have some profound insights into the future of the Lin family when you came to the conference room."
"I never expected you to utter such vulgar language!"
"If it weren't for my father Lin Jianguo and my sister Lin Hongmei, would the Lin Group even be called a group today? All of you here, let alone holding stocks and waiting for dividends, you probably wouldn't even get a hot bowl of shit."
"Now that you hold less than 30% of the shares combined, you come to the company to pressure my eldest sister, Lin Hongmei, who owns 70% of the shares. Don't you find that a bit ridiculous?"
"I've heard a lot about Lin Yaodong's life. You've been living under the overpass for a long time, hanging around with the old patriarch of the Lin family. You're good for nothing, eat everything, and are a master of palace intrigue. Now you still have the nerve to come out and try to take over the position of patriarch?"
"You! You're nothing but a wild child!"
No one expected that Mu Liuyun, with her petite frame, could curse without using a single swear word. Lin Yaodong was so shocked by her words that his previously profound expression crumbled considerably.
"Shut up! You shameless old thief, do you know that now that you've become the head of the family, all of you who used to be able to eat meat are now struggling to even get a sip of hot soup!"
"You old codger, you've lived seventy-six years in vain. You've never made the slightest contribution to the family in your entire life. All you do is engage in internal power struggles. You're the first to kneel before outsiders."
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"you!"
