However, no matter how indignant he was, he couldn't get rid of Tang Yunhang and the others' suspicions.
To be more precise, they were certain of it.
Tang Deming thought that they were only suspicious of him. As long as they didn't have evidence, they couldn't do anything to him. What he didn't know was that they already believed that it was him. They didn't do anything to him not because they didn't have evidence, but because they wanted to find out the person behind him.
Although they failed to find Zhang Yongjian's whereabouts, the Tang Family didn't do anything either, so Tang Deming believed that the Tang Family didn't know about Zhang Yongjian's case either.
"Right, we have to choose an acting chairman as soon as possible. Otherwise, how can we calm down our employees and our business partners?" Fu Kaiyu said.
"I agree that we should choose an acting chairman as soon as possible, because not only do we need to calm down our employees and our business partners, but also our competitors."
"Right, so I also agree to choose an acting chairman as soon as possible."
Cheng Zhongsheng and Wu Boyan also agreed. Because the chairman was in trouble, they should choose an acting chairman as soon as possible, so it was reasonable that everyone had such a request.
"If so, let's choose an acting chairman!" Tang Zhilin seemed to be unable to bear the pressure from everyone, so he compromised.
Five of the eight directors agreed, so the other three couldn't refuse.
Tang Yunhang and Tang Yunrong couldn't participate in the election, so they could only vote. They voted for Tang Zhilin, and so did the ninth director.
Fu Kaiyu, Cheng Zhongsheng, and Wu Boyan then voted for Tang Deming.
Tang Zhilin couldn't sit still anymore, and shouted at them, "Cheng Zhongsheng, Wu Boyan, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't we have the freedom to vote?" Cheng Zhongsheng asked.
"You …" Tang Zhilin didn't know what to say.
Tang Yunhang had 10% shares, Tang Zhilin had 5% shares, Tang Yunrong had 5% shares, and the ninth director had 2% shares, so they had 22% shares in total.
Tang Deming had 8% shares, Cheng Zhongsheng had 6% shares, Fu Kaiyu had 5% shares, and Wu Boyan had 3% shares, so they had 22% shares in total.
Among them, 51% of the shares were in the hands of Tang Yunfan, and no one other than Tang Yunfan could touch them. There were also 5% shares in the market.
Now, the two parties each held 22% of the shares, so the election of the acting director could not be established.
"Now that everyone has 22% of the supporting shares, it seems that we won't be able to elect an acting director for the time being," Quan Mingkai said.
"Not necessarily. I still have another 1% of the shares, which I bought from the market," Tang Deming said and took out a certificate.
Tang Deming was already prepared for this. Otherwise, why would he make a move when it was obvious that they were going to be tied?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"Tang Deming, you planned all of this, didn't you?" Tang Zhilin asked coldly, as if he was angry that the position that originally belonged to him had been taken away.
"Don't make it sound so bad. I just want to do something for the company," Tang Deming said disapprovingly.
"You …" Tang Zhilin was so mad that he didn't know what to say.
Right at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was confused.
"It's the reporters," Quan Mingkai said after reading the message that he just received.
"Reporters? Why are there reporters here? Who notified the reporters? "Tang Zhilin frowned.
Tang Deming wore a serious expression. It must be him who notified the reporters. As long as the reporters spread the news, they couldn't regret it even if they wanted to.
Before long, the door was pushed open.
A man in his early twenties walked in first. He was handsome and had a similar face as Tang Jiakai, but he had a mature and steady air.
It was none other than Tang Jiakai's twin brother, Tang Jiayang.
Tang Jiayang was back from Country Y.
Quan Mingkai, Tang Yunhang, and the others weren't surprised to see Tang Jiayang, because it was their arrangement.
Tang Deming and the others rounded their eyes in shock. Why was Tang Jiayang here?
Although they never worried about Tang Jiayang, he was still a stumbling block. They thought that he would stay in Country Y for the time being, but to their astonishment, he was back.
How is this possible? Didn't Tang Weiyong send someone to keep an eye on Tang Jiayang? Why didn't they receive any news about him when he was back?
It couldn't be a good thing that Tang Jiayang suddenly showed up at this time.
Sure enough …
"I heard that you're holding a board meeting to elect an acting chairman," Tang Jiayang said calmly. Tang Jiayang said, "There's no need for that now. The chairman has already written a letter of appointment. If anything happens to him, I'll be the acting chairman."
"What?"
Tang Deming couldn't accept the fact that his plan was interrupted.
"Right," Yan Weilun, who was behind Tang Jiayang, said, then took out a document. "This is the chairman's letter of appointment. It was written a long time ago."
"Let me have a look." Tang Deming was the first one to walk forward. He hoped that the appointment letter was fake, but there was indeed Tang Yunfan's handwriting on it, and it was signed in August last year.
Since Tang Jiayang had the letter of appointment, it was impossible for him to elect the acting chairman.
Tang Deming was unwilling to accept it, but he didn't dare to argue against it, because it was useless.
Tang Deming wasn't a very capable person, and he did everything according to Tang Weiyong's arrangement. Now that things had changed, he didn't know what to do, so he could only do nothing.
He planned to talk to Tang Weiyong about it later and see what he would do.
The news was soon reported by the media. Many people didn't think that it was a good idea to appoint a kid as the acting director of Tanghuang Group, but some thought that it wouldn't be a big deal even if a kid was appointed as the acting director of Tanghuang Group.
Although Tang Jiayang was already 22 years old, he was still a kid in the eyes of those who were in their 40s or 50s. He hadn't even graduated from college yet.
They didn't know that Tang Jiayang had already gotten a master's degree in business management even though he hadn't graduated from the university he was studying in.
Except for Tang Yunfan, Tang Jiayang was the only one in the Tang Family who was talented in business, and Tang Yunhang didn't have any children to inherit the family business, so Tang Jiayang had been trained to be his successor since he was a child.
