Chapter 175 Ji Tanyuan jumped onto his back
There are several factions operating behind the scenes at the board meeting.
First, there are Jiang Qi, Feng Jianye, and others. They do not expect Ji Tanyuan to enter the group and carry out sweeping reforms, because this would affect their interests.
Sometimes, a company's director doesn't just hold shares in one company; they can connect many companies through their shareholdings, leading to numerous transactions and transfers of benefits.
Especially with a heart as large as the Ji family's, every beat sends out blood that can nourish its other projects.
When Ji Qing was around, they turned a blind eye, but now that Ji Tanyuan wants to eliminate him, it's like kicking someone after they've served their purpose.
So the group decided to convene a meeting with other shareholders to reaffirm the decision that board member Ji Tanyuan would serve as a member of the group and participate in decision-making.
Jiang Qi looked at the silent Ji Tanyuan and said, "What, you have nothing to say? President Ji, are you just going to abandon your own uncle for the sake of profit, or did you deliberately let your own uncle suffer like this and push him into the abyss? You even sent your aunt and cousin abroad afterward, while your eldest cousin's body was still warm. Ji Tanyuan, your actions are truly absurd!"
He became more and more confident as he spoke. He then stood up and his loud voice echoed through the conference room as he said to her, "So young, yet so ambitious, and not on the right path. Who can trust the Ji family with you in charge?"
Ji Tanyuan leaned back, looked at her father who had remained silent, and asked:
"Does the chairman have nothing to say?"
Ji Qing twirled his pen, looked at Ji Tanyuan, and then turned his gaze to the speaker: "Everything should be based on evidence."
Ji Tanyuan sat up straight. "I don't know what the point of this meeting is, but out of respect, I participated with a serious attitude. But after watching it, it seems that all the uncles are being unreasonable."
"If I don't participate in company decisions, will I just let Uncle Jiang steal the Ji family's resources to feed his son's startup company?"
"Please, do you think the Ji family is a nutrient solution supply station or your own home?"
"You're treating this like your own home, yet you're actually defending someone who broke the law and even questioning the public security, procuratorial, and judicial system. Uncle Jiang, are you serious?"
"Is it because you're afraid of following in my uncle's footsteps?"
Jiang Qi's face stiffened, and he snorted coldly, "Nonsense."
Ji Sen glanced at Ji Qing, who had remained silent, then at Ji Tanyuan, and adjusted his posture.
"Old Jiang, aren't you the ones who crossed the river and then burned the bridge?"
"Let me reiterate, whether it's legal inheritance or influence over the current Ji family, isn't my niece better than you?"
Jiang Qi looked up at Ji Sen with a somewhat incredulous expression, which he then quickly masked.
Besides Ji Sen, others also stepped forward and chose to side with Ji Tanyuan.
"If she withdraws, who among you is confident in handling the decision-making and operations of Tongji, Zidian, and Jinglong Shares, as well as their relationship with the government?"
"Or are you confident that Yuanfeng Securities, Gengxu Capital, and Juanji Capital will continue to invest?"
Ji Qing looked at the person who spoke, Shu Xincheng, who had been silent all along, and also, this was his and Sheng Wan's college classmate.
The founder of VIN Group has always kept a low profile and remained silent, not participating in chamber of commerce activities.
I don't form deep relationships with many people, and my business operates on a steady, low-risk basis.
Everyone in the industry says he's timid, but the fact that someone as timid as him can still hold his own in the business world is enough to prove that he has other extraordinary qualities.
Ji Qing suddenly lost interest and said in a deep voice, "Then let's vote."
"Ji Tanyuan was appointed as the company's vice chairman and CTO."
One sentence caused an uproar.
Ji Qing remained unmoved. "She has become irreplaceable, and everything is done with the interests of the group in mind."
"Ji Tanyuan is the heir, without a doubt. If there are any decisions in the future that would harm the group, it's not too late then."
Ji Qing's sudden defection skewed the outcome of the meeting.
Jiang Qi: "You guys didn't know that President Ji moved Tongji's core technology overseas!"
Ji Tanyuan glanced sideways at Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi tossed a document at him, saying, "That's why I'm asking whether this behavior of disregarding the board of directors shows any sense of responsibility!"
Everyone immediately became serious.
"What exactly is going on?"
"This decision was made to mitigate risks based on the equity investment proposed in DF Automotive, while the profitable company remains Tongji High-Tech."
"Really? How can I be sure?"
“The chairman has already agreed,” Ji Tanyuan interrupted his questioning with a single sentence.
She looked at Ji Qing, who had remained silent, and said, "After all, Father understands the risks best. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged this marriage for the sake of the company, would he?"
Ji Qing glanced at Ji Tanyuan. He had no idea that Ji Tanyuan was saying this simply because she was the only heir to the Fu family and felt invincible.
Or perhaps she knew he couldn't do anything about her.
After a long pause, Ji Qing nodded and said, "I understand."
Jiang Qi and the others exchanged glances. Ji Qing, as expected, was still on Ji Tanyuan's side.
Before the meeting ended, he left a cryptic remark: "Tan Yuan and her ex-husband have an unclear relationship. Don't let someone else benefit from it in the end. The Ji family will also become your dowry."
"Now we can transfer technology quietly, let's not let the next time be the Ji family being emptied out."
Ji Tanyuan remained unmoved and retorted softly, "Chairman Jiang is worrying too much. You're still questioning me based solely on traditional marriage customs. Did you embezzle your wife's dowry? You'd better stop doing such tasteless things."
Jiang Qi clutched his heart and took a step back. "Ji Tanyuan, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Ji Tanyuan stood up, turned around and left.
Jiang Qi pointed at the woman's back, too angry to speak for a long time.
He looked at Ji Qing with a sense of helplessness at having his good intentions misunderstood, "Chairman Ji, I'm just telling the truth. Look, not only does she not understand, she's also slandering me."
Ji Qing glanced at him indifferently, "Aren't you also slandering her?"
After Ji Tanyuan left, Ji Qing and Shu Xincheng left together.
Shu Xincheng: "It wasn't Awan who asked me to do it; it was Huanghuang who found me."
Ji Qing: "Really? She's quite good at finding people."
He knew who he would stab in the back.
Shu Xincheng shook his head helplessly and laughed, "If Awan had come to me, I probably wouldn't have just raised my hand."
"Giving her these stocks wouldn't be a problem, would it?"
"It wasn't in vain that we were college classmates."
Ji Qing: "You're welcome to give it to her; I'd be happy to see it."
Shu Xincheng scoffed lightly: "You're always taking your blessings for granted."
After saying that, he turned around, got into his car, and left.
The man got into the car, his face still warm: "Old Ji, you're over 50, why bother with all this? It would be better to let the younger generation take over the market."
Ji Qing also laughed, "You'll only be convincing if you give up your position to your son."
“My son is not as good as Huanghuang. If Huanghuang were to become my daughter, I would be more than happy.”
Ji Qing waved his hand, "No need to see me out."
Ji Tanyuan rested for ten minutes after entering the room. Recalling the scene at the meeting today, she had a clear understanding of the situation.
Lu Ke entered the room, saying, "I thought you guys would be driving for a long time."
Ji Tanyuan: "It's unnecessary. This meeting is completely meaningless."
Lu Ke: "So you went to see Chairman Shu the day before and agreed to what conditions?"
Thinking of this, Ji Tanyuan sighed: "There aren't any major conditions."
He said it was for his mother's sake.
He also said that he had long disliked Ji Qing.
Ji Tanyuan chose Shu Xincheng from among so many people because she valued his special connection with her parents.
Because of the high-tech maneuvering incident involving Kiriki, DF Motors was the first to be directly affected.
DF Automotive's stock price plummeted due to supply chain uncertainties.
Among them, Galaxy Capital's covert short-selling operations are not uncommon.
Tongji Hi-Tech's official response was simply that it was related to the company's strategic plan, and that the clause "[change of control means termination of authorization]" was highlighted in the contract only to prevent Tongji Hi-Tech from being maliciously acquired.
What surprised everyone was that Shanghai Venture Capital had quietly sold off its shares when the stock price soared due to the cooperation.
Ji Tanyuan looked at the stock chart and was not surprised by the result.
Shen Xichen is not useless; she can come up with strategies, and Shen Xichen will naturally come up with a way to escape.
However, the fact that DF was damaged is already a foregone conclusion. This happened under Shen Xichen's command, so it remains to be seen how they will resolve it internally.
It's unlikely they'll send him straight to prison.
So it's best to kick him out.
How could Shen's father tolerate his son's antics?
Ji Tanyuan went home after get off work.
The first thing I saw when I entered was the suit jacket on the sofa.
She saw the man in the kitchen. He had a broad back, wore a black shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up, and had bony forearms. Although he looked thin, Ji Tanyuan knew he was quite strong.
After all, he was very steady when he lifted her up with one hand last time.
When Zhong Yan realized that Ji Tanyuan had returned, she had already jumped onto his back. "Why didn't you say you were coming back?"
Zhong Yan sneered: "Two weeks have passed, and you haven't called me even once. Now you're blaming me for not saying anything?"
Ji Tanyuan pouted, "Why care about so many details? Didn't you call me? I didn't reject the call."
Zhong Yan paused in his fish-cutting motion, then chopped at the fish's head. "Ji Tanyuan, do you know what day it is today?"
Ji Tanyuan: "It's your birthday! I remember!"
