In the largest conference room of the Lan Group, the directors sat inside and discussed the matter.
"Did you see today's live broadcast?"
"Oh, how could I not have seen it! It's the biggest news!"
"The Lan Group has become a hot topic. I never thought that one day our company would become famous for a scandal!"
"Xia Qianhui is so cruel! She's committing bigamy!"
"Who knows? What if they get divorced quietly? After all, that kind of thing is very bad for the stock market!"
"Divorce is impossible! Unless Lan Zhenhua is willing to take away half of his wealth!"
"Hey, why are you saying this! Do you know why the old lady asked us to come here?"
"I don't know. They just said they're gathering in the conference room. Do you have any gossip?"
…
Just when the directors were wondering, Ouyang Muqing pushed the door open with his grandchildren.
The directors had never seen such a united scene before, and they quickly stood up and greeted, "Hello, President! Hello, Master and Miss!"
Ouyang Muqing sat down at the front and began to explain why he came.
"You should have all heard the news, right? Our Lan family is extremely unfortunate, having been brought to this point by that evil woman, Xia Qianhui! So I want to discuss this with you. I want to take back two percent of Yaxin's shares!"
The directors all have their own ulterior motives. If the 2% is to be taken back, who will get it?
The president specially brought along his five grandsons and one granddaughter. Was he trying to intimidate every director?
"If it's taken back, then may I ask if Yaxin did something wrong? I don't think directors without problems should have their shares revoked!"
"You are stupid! Yaxin used to be an adopted daughter, and now she is an illegitimate daughter. Isn't this the biggest mistake?"
"Yes, Zhenhua has been innocently cuckolded for so many years, and I guess he will never be able to clear his name in this lifetime!"
"I'm more worried about the Lan Group's stock price. Previously, due to Zhenhua's official announcement regarding its relationship with Siyu, the stock price had been hitting the upper limit for several days, but now it's hit the lower limit in just this morning!"
"That's pointless! It definitely won't be our turn as an outsider! If I had known earlier, I would have sold my shares and cashed out hundreds of millions!"
…
Ouyang Muqing raised Gu Siyu's hand and said, "This 2% is for Siyu! She has suffered a lot over the years. As elders, we should be more generous!"
The directors' hopes were dashed, and they watched the fun without a care in the world and said, "Zheyuan, you're the eldest son and grandson, why don't you fight for it?"
Lan Zheyuan stood firmly beside Gu Siyu and said, "I don't care about this little money. Siyu deserves it!"
The directors looked at Qin Haotian who was beside Gu Siyu. This was not someone they could provoke, so they finally stopped talking and endured the unhappiness in their hearts.
"Then, does Yaxin herself agree?"
Ouyang Muqing replied coldly, "Whether she agrees or not won't change the outcome! You should just do her a favor and agree!"
The directors said grimly, "Okay! But we have a request!"
Ouyang Muqing's expression eased slightly, and he asked with a smile, "As long as the request is not excessive, I can satisfy you! But the premise is that you must support us Siyu!"
The directors gathered together for an intense discussion that lasted about an hour, and finally came to a conclusion that everyone was satisfied with.
"The commissions for the projects we are responsible for and the annual dividends are increased by two percentage points."
Ouyang Muqing was of course aware that these two points would make the company an extra 100 million or 200 million yuan every year, but compared to equity, these were small amounts of money!
"Okay! I agree!"
The directors finally felt much better and agreed one after another: "Thank you, Madam. We will sign the consent form now!"
At this moment, Yao Hai accompanied Ya Xin into the conference room, followed by the entire legal team.
"Wait! I don't agree!"
The directors looked up suddenly, and when they saw the ferocious-looking Yao Hai beside Yaxin, they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, for fear that Yao Hai would dig out their eyes if they couldn't control their gaze!
"This... Old Madam, Siyu, the parties involved are here, you should just talk it over yourselves!"
Ouyang Muqing swept his sharp eyes over each director and angrily shouted, "Useless things! You're scared already! What can I expect from you?"
The directors sighed in frustration. No matter how greedy they were, they still had to live to spend their money!
"Sorry, old lady, we have to go back first."
Almost in an instant, all the directors in the conference room ran away, leaving only Gu Siyu, Ouyang Muqing and Lan Zheyuan to confront Yaxin and Yao Hai!
Gu Siyu stepped forward and said, "Yaxin, it's useless for you to come! This is what Dad meant. You are an adopted daughter. The Lan family was very polite by not asking you for child support. Now that you and Xia Qianhui are with someone else, you should return everything the Lan family has given you!"
Yaxin said angrily, "I've never heard of asking for something back after giving it away! You guys are so shameless!"
Gu Siyu said with a smile: "I have never heard of an illegitimate girl who doesn't keep her tail between her legs and runs around shouting, afraid that others don't know how she came into this world?"
Yaxin was almost mad with anger. People cannot choose their own birth. If she could choose, she would have wished to be born in the palace and be a princess that everyone envied!
"Who do you think you are? Since you gave it to me, it's mine. You're neither the giver nor the president of the Lan Group. What qualifications do you have to take it back?"
Gu Siyu's eyes rolled. Since Yaxin knew nothing about the Lan Group, she made up a story, "It's written in the shareholding contract that if the company discovers that a shareholder is unworthy of their position, or has obtained shares through improper means such as concealment or deception, the company has the right to reclaim them!"
"Xia Qianhui has been hiding Yaxin's identity and deliberately taking 2% of the shares from my father. This is complete deception and fraud!"
Yaxin thought the contract was real and looked panicked.
Yao Hai held Yaxin's shoulders and said, "We need to see the contract!"
Gu Siyu's face froze, and she looked at Ouyang Muqing awkwardly, "Grandma, the contracts are all in the archives, right? I want to go get the contract."
Yao Hai immediately stepped forward and said, "Let's go too! Otherwise, who would know if you guys are faking it?"
Gu Siyu's expression grew increasingly grim as she sternly refused, "No! The archives are full of company secrets, and you outsiders are not allowed in!"
It’s not that Yao Hai doesn’t believe what Gu Siyu said, but Yaxin’s shares can help him open a path to the legal market, rather than always wandering in the gray area.
After all, if you walk by the river often, your feet will get wet.
Smart people never put all their eggs in one basket!
"If you don't let me go, then I won't allow you to get the contract!"
Gu Siyu bit her lips tightly, wishing she could tear Yao Hai apart on the spot!
"Then follow the rules! Effective immediately, Yaxin's 2% stake will be revoked! If you have any objections, we'll see you in court!"
