Hope Shattered in an Instant
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! "Gubang was still talking to himself as he took out his phone. In actuality, as an old acquaintance of Guangbo's, he knew very well how Guangbo's signature looked and how he stamped it. From the surface, it didn't look like a forgery!
Moreover, Pengzhan wouldn't do something like this! It was pointless- even if he managed to gain the upper hand in a shareholder meeting, the moment Guangbo appeared, the scheme would fall apart on its own! Pengzhan, on the other hand, would be labeled as dishonest and deceiving the shareholders! It wasn't worth it at all!
As far as Gubang was concerned, however, Guangbo giving his shares to Lin Yi for free was even more impossible! Was Guangbo an idiot? His son was still in the hands of a foreign mafia, and his son owed a huge amount of money to the loan sharks! He'd be dead if he didn't pay it back!
Guangbo's only option was to keep his shares in order to cooperate with Gubang, and that was his only way out. Giving his shares to Lin Yi at a time like this wouldn't help him in any way!
He dialed Guangbo's phone, only to find it turned off. Gubang didn't mind, however, since Guangbo's phone had been turned off for the past two days. Gubang dialed the landline in Guangbo's villa once more.
Someone picked up after a while, but it wasn't Guangbo- it was an unfamiliar man's voice. "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Mister Guangbo. May I know if he's here?" Gubang asked.
"Oh, you're looking for my dad? Hold on, I'll go get him …" It was Jinbiao who picked up the phone. Guangbo was very happy today- his son was home, and he was preparing to cook his son's favorite dishes!
In actuality, while Guangbo had given all his shares to Lin Yi, he still had some real estate left. There were more than ten houses in Songshan, along with some antiques and jewelry. He'd be able to sell them all for tens of millions of yuan, and it was more than enough to start a small business. Giving his shares to Lin Yi made him feel more relaxed. His days of starting a business with his son were the happiest days of his life.
"Wait … Wait, Guangbo is your dad? You … Who are you?! "Gubang's face was filled with shock.
"I am his son, Xie Jinbiao. What's wrong? Who are you? "Xie Jinbiao thought to himself, is this person an idiot? If I call him Dad, who do you think I am?
"You … Weren't you captured by a foreign gang? Why are you home? "Gubang asked in disbelief.
"Who are you? How did you know I was captured? "Jinbiao frowned." Did you call to make trouble? "
"No … I'm your dad's colleague …" Gubang said, feeling that something was amiss. Why were there so many weird things happening today? Xie Guangbo's son had returned safely, but Xie Guangbo's shares had fallen into the hands of Lin Yi!
"My dad is here, you talk to him!" Hearing that he was his father's colleague, Xie Jinbiao resisted the urge to scold him. Why was this guy so rude? Now that he was captured, he couldn't come back?
After a while, Xie Guangbo's voice came through the phone. "Hello? I'm Xie Guangbo. "
"Old Xie, I'm Old Jin!" Gubang forced a smile. "Was that your son? He's back? "
"He's back. What's up?" Guangbo's warm voice was no longer there, replaced by a cold, perfunctory tone. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I'm cooking for my son!"
"Wait, Pengzhan's having a shareholder meeting. Do you know about this?" Gubang wasn't about to let Guangbo hang up. He quickly asked.
"What does this have to do with me? I've already given my shares to someone else! "Guangbo said impatiently." Alright, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else. Bye! "
"Beep beep beep …" Gubang's phone rang a couple of times before the screen said, "Call ended."
Gubang was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded. He breathed heavily, not knowing what to do! He'd thought that he was going to become the chairman a few minutes ago, but this phone call was like a bolt from the blue that struck him like a bolt of lightning.
It was over, it was all over … Gubang knew that he had no chance of becoming the chairman now! What a joke, the first and third shareholders of the company were family now! What the hell was he supposed to do?
I'm afraid that those small shareholders who previously sided with me will no longer side with me if they see this situation now! It was obvious that Pengzhan and Lin Yi's side would be the strongest in the shareholder meetings in the future- there was no way he could win against them!
His hope was shattered in an instant!
Gubang didn't want to know how Lin Yi had gotten Guangbo's shares anymore- it was pointless. The only thing he could do now was think of a way to protect himself!
Gubang was certain that Pengzhan wouldn't go easy on him next! So whether or not he could become the chairman was secondary. Whether or not he could stay in the company was another matter altogether.
Gubang! Gubang smashed the phone in his hand onto the ground, shattering it into pieces!
Gubang smashed his phone on the floor and stood up, walking out of the meeting room without a backward glance. His face was dark and gloomy.
Pengzhan didn't mind it at all- it was normal for Gubang to react like this. Pengzhan didn't mind at all- in fact, it was quite satisfying! Pengzhan had wanted to smash his phone when Gubang and Guangbo were singing the same tune!
"The purpose of this meeting is to introduce our new shareholder, Mister Lin Yi!" Pengzhan smiled as he introduced Lin Yi to the other shareholders.
The meeting room was filled with a round of applause! They weren't idiots- this person was the third largest shareholder of the company, and he had an 'intimate' relationship with Pengzhan's daughter- they wouldn't dare offend someone like that!
Besides, no one doubted that Lin Yi was using Gubang's name to intimidate others! After all, Lin Yi had the right to be arrogant! He was the third largest shareholder of the company!
"Please take care of me!" Lin Yi stood up and nodded to everyone.
"Next, I would like to propose that Lin Yi be a member of the company's board of directors. Please vote!" Pengzhan suggested.
With Gubang gone, who would want to offend Pengzhan for him? And so, without a doubt, Lin Yi became the new director of the company- Gubang's vote didn't matter anymore.
