"Most of you here have been working for me since I took over. Over the years, I have led you all from the beginning when we didn't know where we would eat, to the point where you could all afford cars and houses, and now you each hold shares and dividends that ordinary people could not earn in several lifetimes. Do you think it has been easy for me?"
As he recounted the past, Li Daocheng became increasingly agitated, his voice growing louder and louder: "I admit that Li's Group is not exactly one of the top companies now, but we have still made achievements in the industry. Over the years, even if I haven't made any great contributions, I have certainly put in a lot of hard work. Just because Li Ruo has five percent more shares than me, and she's forcing me to step down, should I just hand over the reins to her as a matter of course?"
Li Daocheng spoke with a hoarse voice, as if venting his anger, but his expression also showed obvious grievance and heartache: "What have you all taken my efforts over the years for!"
Upon hearing this, the shareholders present couldn't help but look at each other, exchange glances, and sigh.
After all, people are made of flesh and blood, and after hearing what Li Daocheng said, they couldn't help but waver a little.
"Miss Li..."
Unexpectedly, these shareholders were so easily swayed. Chairman Lin couldn't help but give Li Ru a wink, signaling her to think of a solution quickly.
You know, if Li Ruo doesn't get back the CEO position this time, then his final payment will be forfeited.
However, Li Ruo simply glanced at him calmly, put her finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, and told him to calm down.
She wanted to see what other tricks Li Daocheng could pull.
Sure enough, seeing that the shareholders' attitude was not as firm as before, Li Daocheng immediately changed his tone and turned his attention to Li Ruo, saying with a cold look in his eyes: "Moreover, you also said that the person who sits in the position of president must be of good character, but Li Ruo, for her own ambition, actually used all sorts of means to make Chairman Lin, who was originally doing business with me, suddenly change his mind. Do you dare to let such a scheming person take the position?"
His voice was sharp, and upon closer listening, it carried a strong sense of intimidation: "Aren't you afraid that if something happens to the company in the future, she will use the same methods against you?"
Li Daocheng originally wanted to use public opinion to bring down Li Ruo, and now was the perfect time.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell into thought and couldn't help but cast suspicious and wary glances at Li Ruo.
You should know that everyone here has something to hide.
If Li Ruo likes to use her weaknesses to threaten others, wouldn't pushing her to the top put themselves in danger?
Unexpectedly, Li Daocheng, unable to compete openly, resorted to underhanded tactics. Chairman Lin could no longer tolerate it and immediately declared, "My transaction with Miss Li was fair, just, and reasonable. There was no coercion, inducement, or collusion involved!"
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng couldn't help but sneer, raising an eyebrow condescendingly and asking, "What evidence do you have to prove it?"
"I……"
Upon hearing this, President Lin was slightly taken aback.
He couldn't very well say that he only chose to cooperate with Li Ruo because of her high price; that would inevitably invite contempt from others.
But he wasn't one to be trifled with, and he wasn't about to let Li Daocheng manipulate him. So he smirked and asked, "Then do you have any evidence to prove that our deal is improper?"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng was slightly taken aback.
As the situation continues to turn around, the shareholders are starting to lose their ability to tell who is telling the truth and who is lying.
What should have been an ordinary shareholders' meeting turned into this mess because of the infighting between the Li family father and daughter. It's quite embarrassing to talk about it.
Seeing the hesitant expressions on everyone's faces, Li Ruo's lips curled slightly as she finally spoke: "Everyone, what Li Daocheng just said was nothing more than his personal speculation and venting, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the purpose of our shareholders' meeting."
Her voice was clear and crisp, a stark contrast to Li Daocheng's aggressive tone just now: "This is not a place where you can achieve your goals by playing the victim and falsely accusing others. Whoever holds the most shares rises to the top, which is the rule in the industry. And I am definitely not the kind of person Li Daocheng described, so you don't need to feel any burden or pressure."
As she spoke, she even smiled generously at everyone, displaying her poise and presence.
Compared to her composure, Li Daocheng, who had just resorted to smearing others to gain support, seemed even more unacceptable.
Sensing that something was amiss, Li Daocheng couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
She quickly rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "Don't listen to her, everyone. She's just a young girl and has no ability to lead the entire Li family. All she can do is spout these high-sounding words."
Despite repeatedly telling himself not to act impulsively.
But facing the suspicious looks of the crowd, his face slowly darkened: "Don't be fooled by her few words. Have you thought it through? Do you want someone who can lead the Li family to success as president, or someone who is just a pretty face who only talks the talk?"
