Chapter 69 Malice
The next morning, the Fu Group's shareholders' meeting was held as scheduled. Shareholders, led by Fu Linyu, arrived early in the hall to wait.
It’s still the same layout for the press conference, and the same people are there on the press conference day.
But the difference is that the identities are reversed.
Fu Chengyun went from being the one who had the final say to the group's criminals awaiting trial, while Fu Linyu went from being an unknown figure in the group to becoming the leader second only to the group's leader.
He sat in the same position that Fu Chengyun had sat that day, giving orders with an air of superiority, as if he were commanding an army of thousands.
However, Fu Chengyun was only fit to stand in a corner of the stage, and no one even prepared a seat for him.
Fu Linyu said, "All employees of our company are here today, so let's start to put an end to Fu Chengyun's tax evasion."
Fu Chengyun stood in the audience, his eyes wandering over everyone.
During the years he was in the Fu family, he treated people with kindness and courtesy, and never treated anyone harshly or showed favoritism to anyone.
I think I have a pretty good reputation.
But when disaster struck, the employees who had followed him for many years just sat in the audience, looking at each other hesitantly.
No one spoke up for him, no one argued for him, no one even dared to look him in the eye.
Fu Chengyun sneered, thinking how fickle people are and how cruel the world is.
Fu Linyu stood on the stage, accusing him of the losses he had caused to the group one by one, with a righteous and awe-inspiring manner as if he were a wise ruler reborn.
The people in the audience nodded knowingly and hugged the new president's thighs tightly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fu Chengyun suddenly thought of someone.
The omega who was sent to prison by Fu Linyu himself, who never surrendered and was always strong.
He glanced at Assistant Lin, then turned his head to look at the stage, listening calmly to Fu Linyu's fart, as if nothing had happened.
The stage was filled with saliva. Fu Linyu spoke passionately.
"Due to Fu Chengyun's egregious behavior, once it was exposed, our company's revenue plummeted by 50% in just two days, and our stock price plummeted to its lowest point in ten years. The company's overall revenue plummeted by 80%."
As soon as these words were spoken, the quiet hall became lively.
The employees were whispering to each other.
Fu Linyu glanced at Fu Chengyun, his eyes full of amusement. The audience's reaction was predictable, and he added more fuel to the fire.
"Due to the company's severe losses, the board of directors has decided to defer salaries for two months and reduce performance bonuses by 50%. I hope everyone will stand with the company. We will overcome this together."
As soon as the last word fell, the whole hall was in an uproar, like the water in the pot was boiling.
"Why? You senior management have to make us, the lower-level employees, bear the consequences of your mistakes!" A male alpha shouted hidden in the crowd.
One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, and the voices of resistance come one after another.
"That's right, we are just workers, why should we be suppressed in salary?"
"I have elderly parents and young children to support. How can I survive without a salary?"
“Whoever makes the mistake is responsible!”
"That's right, the eldest young master of the Fu family is extremely rich, let him be responsible!"
…
The noise was like a tide, starting with accusations against Fu Chengyun, which gradually turned into verbal abuse, as well as crying and sounds of throwing things.
Fu Chengyun watched coldly, and the harsh and dirty curses poured into his ears, which he just found ridiculous.
He laughed at everyone's stupidity, laughed at his own misery, and laughed even more at Fu Linyu's clever tactics.
What a good move.
For employees, the company's interests are trivial; monthly salaries are the real issue. If officials pressure the people to rebel, they will surely rebel!
The smile on Fu Linyu's lips remained gentle, but the gloom in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
It was a kind of pleasure and release after a great revenge.
He blinked, trying hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips. His fingers on the table were shaking uncontrollably.
"Okay. We'll follow everyone's advice."
He looked towards Fu Chengyun, his pupils shrunk to the size of a needle tip, his eyes filled with sinister interest. He was almost immersed in the huge anticipation before biting his prey.
"Fu Chengyun will bear all the company's losses. As the company's largest shareholder, Fu Chengyun will also be expelled from the board of directors and his appointment as president will be revoked."
Once the words were spoken, the matter was settled.
Xu Jia had been suppressed by Ning Che his entire life, and ultimately died under his sword. Too much resentment and unwillingness were released at this moment.
In this life, he not only wants revenge, but also wants to reach the top. He wants to trample everyone under his feet, and even toy with Ning Che.
Finally, his wish came true. Fu Linyu dropped his disguise and revealed his true nature as the new leader.
His mouth was stretched to a grin, his teeth gleaming white. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot. His expression was twisted in a way that betrayed a perverted excitement.
He grinned at Fu Chengyun and said, "Do you have anything else to say? Big! Brother!"
Fu Chengyun was disgusted by his appearance. He didn't know that Fu Linyu had a vicious heart under his cowardly body, and he just thought that he was blinded by power.
Fu Chengyun walked up to the stage gracefully, and when he passed by Fu Linyu, he heard his trembling whisper of excitement.
"Brother, do you know? As the old saying goes, nothing is as fun as having a sister-in-law~"
These two words were like thorns piercing Fu Chengyun's heart, causing him to stop in his tracks.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Fu Linyu, whose expression had changed from excitement to crazy lust.
He must have been dreaming about Ning Che for a long time. But Fu Chengyun knew that Fu Linyu's obsession was not love, but a pathological possession, a conquest derived from inferiority.
If Ning Che falls into his hands, there will be only one outcome - a life worse than death!
A chill crept up his spine and onto his shoulders like a maggot.
Fu Chengyun calmed down and didn't look at him. He walked to the front of the stage and took out the evidence in his hand.
"Everyone, there is no problem with the company's tax affairs. They are just making false accusations."
He projected the waiver onto the big screen. "This is the waiver issued by the tax bureau. This matter ends here and has been successfully resolved."
"However," he glanced at everyone present, his voice cold. "If public opinion and the board's decision require me to step down, I am willing to respect the board's decision."
Fu Linyu smiled and said, "Brother, this is the decision of the board of directors. Don't struggle anymore."
He took out a contract and placed it in front of Fu Chengyun, coaxing him, "Sign it. There's no point in talking any more."
"interesting!"
Fu Chengyun laughed instead of getting angry, questioning him as if he were a fool. "The board of directors isn't even complete yet. How can you, with just a 5% stake, claim it was the board's decision?"
With sharp eyes, Fu Chengyun looked at the group of calm old guys on the board of directors.
"You all hold 10% of the shares combined. What qualifications do you have to make decisions for the largest shareholder?"
"Ha!" Fu Linyu sneered. "You mean to say you're the largest shareholder, holding 85% of the shares?"
He slowly walked to Fu Chengyun, pulled his tie and twirled it between his fingertips, and reminded him with a look of contempt: "Don't forget, you made a serious mistake and have been expelled from the board of directors."
"Really?" Fu Chengyun pulled out his tie and stared at Fu Linyu with a gentle smile.
"But I only hold 20% of the shares!"
