Because no one had ever considered who else besides Su Tianming could be the head of the Su Group.
After all, when the old man was alive, Su Tianhao was no match for Su Tianming, and Su Tianming was the eldest son. Generally speaking, the eldest son inherits the company.
In rare cases, the eldest son is the second son, but only if the eldest son is incompetent. Su Tianming, however, does not have this problem at all.
Su Ziqing's words were like a bomb, opening everyone's minds.
Su Tianhao didn't have time to think about becoming the chairman, because he was really only thinking about keeping his own share.
Su Tianming was even more surprised that Su Ziqing would say such a thing. He frowned and looked at Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing, however, was not frightened at all. She looked directly at Su Tianming and continued, "Right, Uncle? Grandpa passed away suddenly and didn't have time to mention who would be the chairman, right?"
This shareholders' meeting is no longer suitable to proceed.
Su Tianming spat out two words through gritted teeth, "Meeting adjourned."
"Meeting adjourned? The meeting is over?" Su Ziqing asked, feigning surprise.
Everyone in the conference room was a seasoned businessman. Given the unclear situation, they naturally wouldn't interfere too much and all stood up and left the conference room.
See, this is 'strength'.
Su Tianming conveyed his message to Su Ziqing with his eyes.
Even though he is not yet the chairman, he is the person in charge of the Su Group.
Su Ziqing scoffed and stood up as well.
“Su Ziqing…” Su Tianming uttered the words again through gritted teeth.
Despite his furious outburst, Su Ziqing felt quite pleased. She raised her eyes slightly and said, "Uncle is a smart man. He told the shareholders to leave. Otherwise, I would have thought about what happened to me these past two days. Oh, I was in a car accident on my way here."
"What?" Su Tianhao's acting as a concerned elder was becoming increasingly adept. "Why didn't you say earlier, were you hurt anywhere?"
Su Ziqing raised her still-healing hand, "I was abroad a couple of days ago, and, well, I was robbed."
Su Tianming sat there, his eyes fierce.
"Furthermore, she was even sent to a mental hospital... Tsk, I'm just a young girl in my early twenties, studying abroad, and I'm completely powerless. How come I'm hated so much?" Su Ziqing looked at Su Tianming meaningfully.
But then he heard Su Tianming coldly mock, "Could it be that you're just born to bring bad luck, and deserve to be unlucky?"
"Uncle, you're joking. You said I was a jinx to my family before, but now it seems I'm the one bringing misfortune upon myself." She then dragged Su Tianhao into the fray, "Second Uncle, do you think such a fate exists? All these things happened in just a few days, and all after Grandpa's sudden passing!"
She pronounced the words "sudden death" very clearly and heavily.
Su Tianhao looked at her with concern, "How did so many things happen?"
"Isn't that right? One thing after another, they all want to kill me!" Su Ziqing sighed. "I'm just a little girl, who did I offend? Then I thought about it, and it was probably because I possessed a treasure that I was guilty of."
Su Ziqing took out a small personal seal from her bag and looked at Su Tianming, "Uncle, have you read Grandpa's will?"
Seeing the personal seal in Su Ziqing's hand, Su Tianming suppressed his anger and asked, "What is this?"
"Uncle, you know." Stop pretending, okay?
Just then, Su Ziqing's phone rang. "Attorney Jin, oh, you're at the company? Yes, I'm in the conference room."
Su Ziqing hung up the phone and fiddled with the personal seal in her hand. "Uncle hired Grandpa's lawyer as soon as Grandpa passed away. He's so eager to take control of the family property. Tsk, now he's denying the contents of the will. If he continues like this, I'll have Attorney Jin reiterate it."
“Su Ziqing…” Su Tianming stood up and reached out to snatch the company seal from Su Ziqing’s hand, but Su Ziqing easily dodged him. “Uncle, if I wasn’t prepared, do you think I would bring the company seal with me?”
Su Tianming glared at Su Tianhao, "What are you still standing there for?"
Su Tianhao remained seated, feigning innocence, "Big brother, this was originally left to Ziqing by the old man. It's not right to forcibly take it, is it?"
Su Ziqing glanced at Su Tianhao.
"Ziqing, don't be afraid. Your second uncle is a fair man."
How come she never noticed before that Su Tianhao was an opportunist?
But it makes sense, considering she didn't have much contact with the Su family, and you can't judge a book by its cover.
Su Tianming wasn't a good elder, and neither was Su Tianhao, but there's always someone worse. People are afraid of comparisons.
There was a knock on the conference room door.
Su Ziqing called out, "Attorney Jin, come in."
Even though Su Tianming was furious, he had to act like a gentleman in front of outsiders.
"Ms. Su." Attorney Jin arrived with his assistant, ignoring the strange atmosphere in the conference room as he entered.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su Xiao." He then greeted Su Tianming and Su Tianhao.
“Attorney Jin, you’ve come at the right time. We were just talking about Grandpa’s will. This is the personal seal that makes the will valid.” Su Ziqing handed the personal seal to Attorney Jin.
"The old man passed away suddenly without leaving any will," Su Tianming said coldly.
Do you expect him to give most of his empire to Su Ziqing, that jinx? Don't even think about it.
“Uncle, Grandpa planned to make a will before he passed away, and Attorneys Jin and Wu were both witnesses,” Su Ziqing said calmly.
"Really?" Su Tianming made the call directly, and Lawyer Wu arrived shortly afterward.
Unsurprisingly, Attorney Wu denied the existence of the will and even claimed that Attorney Jin had forged it.
"Big brother..." Su Tianhao hurriedly spoke up upon hearing that a will had been forged.
"Shut up." Su Tianming glared at Su Tianhao. At this crucial moment, his own brother betrayed him, and he was furious.
However, Su Tianhao didn't shut up, "How can this will be forged? It has the old man's signature."
This sentence directly shows that he and Su Ziqing share the same stance.
"Su Tianhao, what do you know? Come out with me," Su Tianming said, pulling Su Tianhao out of the conference room.
Su Ziqing wasn't in a hurry at all.
Attorney Jin confirmed that it was the old man's personal seal. Of course, the will still needs further notarization, but with this seal, it should be a done deal.
Su Tianming pulled Su Tianhao directly onto the rooftop.
The cold wind messed up their hairstyles and made their clothes flutter.
Su Tianming punched Su Tianhao in the face. Su Tianhao was caught off guard and took the punch.
"Big brother, how impressive!"
"You still know I'm your older brother? How dare you team up with an outsider?" Su Tianming said angrily.
“Outsider? Ziqing is our nephew.” Su Tianhao laughed. “Big brother, Ziqing is right about one thing: I am also qualified to run for chairman.”
Su Tianming laughed sarcastically, "You?"
