Chapter 198 Misunderstanding
Fang Lanxin shrugged and said calmly, "I'll say it again, I don't need to give you prior notice!"
After speaking, Fang Lanxin stood up and strode towards the conference room.
Her attitude made Huo Qibang a little nervous, mainly because he didn't know what she was going to do. He could only reluctantly follow her to the conference room.
Fang Lanxin spearheaded this board meeting, so she notified every shareholder, including those from the second and fourth branches of the family, even though their shares had been diluted to almost nothing. Fang Lanxin still made a point of inviting them.
Now, Kenneth Fok finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Even the second and fourth branches of the Fok family came. Could it be that they wanted to abolish the current reform system?
Huo Qibang's expression was not very good, and his hands clenched into fists nervously.
He stared coldly at Fang Lanxin, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
Originally, Fang Lanxin thought that she could reconcile with Huo Qibang and Huo Siya, but now, when she met Huo Qibang's cold gaze, she suddenly realized that it was impossible for them to reconcile. Huo Qibang was the kind of person who would turn on her if her interests were accidentally touched, or if there was any possibility of touching her interests.
Thinking about this, Fang Lanxin felt that all her previous plans were ridiculous.
"Since everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point."
"Recently, the Huo Group has been undergoing reforms, and I personally believe that reform is not a simple matter..."
"Mother!"
Huo Qibang suddenly stood up, interrupting Fang Lanxin, and strode over to her amidst the surprised gazes of the many shareholders.
"Mr. Fang, shouldn't we discuss this matter privately first?"
Fang Lanxin ignored his rudeness and simply said, "I just feel that this matter is not just about us, so I have to bring it up!"
"What I want to say today is that reform is not a simple matter. It's not enough to just change our processes and equipment; we also need to reform our management and solve the problem at its root!"
"Today, everyone present here is a shareholder of our Huo Group, so I hope to repurchase all the shares that are less than five percent and bring them back into the company. This will increase the company's say and be better for the company's future development."
Fang Lanxin pressed her anger on, her cold gaze falling on the fourth master of the fourth branch of the family.
“Especially those who hold shares but do not participate in company management or contribute to the company should not hold onto their positions.”
What do you all think?
Fang Lanxin withdrew her gaze and looked back at Old Li and Old He.
This proposal might be a disaster for the second and fourth wives, but for their company group, it's a great thing.
Mr. Li and Mr. He exchanged a glance and nodded directly: "President Fang is always ahead of us. In this respect, we are not as good as President Fang!"
"Fang Lanxin!" Fourth Master slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring at Fang Lanxin through gritted teeth: "What kind of thing are you? What gives you the right to talk to me like this? You think you can just take it back as you please? You're not worthy!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin simply smiled, then took out Mr. Huo's will and said coldly, "Before my husband passed away, he had already given you money and acquired your shares. You even signed the transfer agreement. But for so many years, you have shamelessly been taking dividends for free. I was originally thinking of turning a blind eye, but since you are so shameless, you can't blame me for taking your things back."
"What's wrong with me taking my own things?"
"Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, while I'm still willing to pay and save face for everyone, you'd better take the money and leave. Otherwise, I'll have to take legal action. Then you can think it over carefully and see if the Huo family can afford to lose face, whether you two can afford to lose face, and whether your sons and grandsons can afford to lose face!"
Fang Lanxin dared to make such a request because she was already confident in her plan.
Seeing the two of them like this, Fang Lanxin disdainfully slammed the documents in her hand onto the table.
Is this another way to do it?
Kenneth Fok had long coveted the shares of these two houses, but he simply hadn't found an opportunity to reclaim them yet!
But he never expected that Fang Lanxin would hold a meeting today for this very reason. Thinking about what he had said and done before, he felt even more ashamed in front of Fang Lanxin.
The second and fourth masters looked at the documents on the table with terribly gloomy faces. In the end, they could only reluctantly sign and take the money.
Fourth Master stood up, gritting his teeth as he looked at Fang Lanxin: "With you in the Huo family, they've failed, they've failed!"
Fang Lanxin ignored all of that, simply took the documents back, handed them to Huo Qibang, and then said calmly, "These were left to you by your father. Therefore, you are now the largest shareholder of the Huo Group, and from now on, the position of chairman rightfully belongs to you."
After saying this, Fang Lanxin gave a self-deprecating laugh and turned to leave.
No, that's not it!
"Mother!"
Fok Kai-pong, belatedly realizing what was happening, didn't even glance at the documents and strode outside to chase after them.
"Mom, please let me explain. Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you before, I..."
Fang Lanxin stood quietly in place, looking at Huo Qibang indifferently, without saying a word.
But it was that cold, scrutinizing gaze that made Huo Qibang feel as if he were being pricked by a needle.
He had to pull his hand back, looking at Fang Lanxin with a helpless expression and a hint of guilt: "Mom, I really didn't mean to, I thought..."
"In your subconscious, I would hurt you, wouldn't I?" Fang Lanxin finally tore away this fig leaf, frowning as she stared at him.
Huo Qibang's helplessness turned into shame: "Mom, I'm sorry."
"It's alright, this is fine too."
"You've grown up and learned to protect yourself, which is a good thing."
Fang Lanxin said this, turned around, and strode away.
Since that's the case, then from now on, he can walk independently and she won't have to worry about him anymore!
"Mother!"
Huo Qibang stood there, watching Fang Lanxin leave without looking back, and a part of his heart seemed to have completely collapsed.
"Mother!"
"I really didn't mean to!"
Huo Qibang tried to explain again, but Fang Lanxin had already left, didn't hear him, and wouldn't turn back!
Huo Siya came out of the conference room and looked at Huo Qibang standing there with a complicated expression. She was a little puzzled: "Brother, haven't you always wanted to take back the shares of the second and fourth wives? Why are you not happy at all now?"
