Upon hearing this, the old man put down his teacup. Good heavens, he had been sitting here for so long, and this old man Ji Nian only just remembered him. He really didn't take him seriously.
"Of course," the old man replied succinctly.
"So, was it your idea to dismiss me from my post?"
"No, no, no," the old man waved his hands repeatedly, "I only transferred the shares. You know, I'm already this old, what's the point of holding onto these shares? It's better to transfer them to the boy so he can do what he wants, right? But I really didn't know that this brat would come up with the decision to remove you. If I had known beforehand, I, I would have..."
I clapped my hands in delight!
The old man thought to himself.
Ji Nian felt a lump in his throat, unable to expel it, and his old face turned red from holding it in.
"President Mu, although you now control Mu's Enterprises, I, Ji, believe that I have worked diligently and conscientiously for the group for decades. Even if I haven't made any great contributions, I have certainly put in a lot of hard work. How can you dismiss me from my position like this and expect the people below to accept it? Today I am dismissed, but what about tomorrow, and the day after? Does President Mu intend to create panic throughout the entire group?"
Upon hearing this, the people below echoed his sentiments.
"Yes, yes, how could President Mu dismiss board members so easily? This is something I've never heard of or seen before in the past few days."
"Sigh, isn't this how it has always been? The first thing an emperor does when he changes dynasties is to use the blood of his old ministers as a sacrifice to rectify the court. We old fogies who fought to build the empire are now useless, so naturally we'll be kicked out."
"Just wait, we might be the ones kicked out at the next board meeting."
Everyone chimed in, deliberately making their comments for Mu Nanxun to hear.
Ji Nian grew increasingly smug. Most of the board members were his confidants, and they would definitely side with him. Even if Mu Nanxun dismissed him, so what? He had ways to force him to rejoin the board under pressure!
Even the old man, who had originally intended to stay out of it, couldn't stand it any longer and was about to interrupt when Mu Nanxun raised his hand to stop him.
The conference room, which had been buzzing with discussion, gradually fell silent. No one dared to utter another word. Some even lowered their heads, pretending nothing had happened.
Mu Nanxun crossed his long legs and lightly tapped the table with his slender fingers, which startled the people below.
In reality, these people couldn't cause much trouble. They were just relying on Ji Nian to constantly challenge Mu Nanxun. But now that Ji Nian has been dismissed, they've lost their backing and naturally don't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Jerry, open it," Mu Nanxun gestured.
"Yes, Mr. Mu."
Jerry opened the slides, which showed the organized evidence and related original documents.
An uproar broke out below again.
Mu Nanxun glanced at the time and explained briefly, "During Ji Nian's tenure, he repeatedly used his position to apply for funds from the group. There have been three such records this year alone: 480,000 in January, 600,000 in March, and 1 million in June. The whereabouts of all these funds are unknown, and Ji Nian has not given any explanation to the board of directors or the group. If I investigate further, this could be considered a crime of malfeasance."
Ji Nian: "..."
He has indeed done this before, not just this year, but he has also frequently applied for funds in the name of the group, but no one has ever paid any attention to them.
