"You don't have to be so polite. You should know what those people in the assistant team are like …"
Xiao Dong smiled and took the snacks. "All of them are so arrogant. Other than Manager Ling, they don't respect anyone in the company. Why are you still spoiling them?"
At the mention of Ling Han, Ye Huanyan couldn't help but ask, "When is President Ling coming back?"
"You also don't know?"
Xiao Dong was shocked. "I was just about to call you to ask about it."
"What happened?"
Ye Huanyan frowned, vaguely realizing that something was wrong.
"My communication with President Ling has always been a little messy. Recently, the decisions of several major projects in the company have been made by the board of directors. And those projects, especially the expansion plan of the hot spring village in the western suburbs, were rejected by President Ling before. But I couldn't get in touch, so I could only watch them make the decision."
"What do you mean by not good communication?"
Ye Huanyan's face changed. "Can the board of directors reject his proposal now? What is this? "
Ling Han is the company's CEO, and he has the final say on whether a project is approved. Under normal circumstances, the board of directors will raise their hands to vote on whether to approve a project or not. As long as more than half of the board of directors approve, it will be fine. But Ling Han can insist on his decision. His shares gave him the right to veto the project.
If the board of directors wants to overturn Ling Han's decision, they can only propose a recall. But Ling Han owns more than 50% of Pleasure Company's shares, and even if all the board of directors work together, they will not be able to stop him.
That's why no one can change Ling Han's decision at Pleasure Company. He has absolute authority.
Xiao Dong frowned. "Last year, when the company was restructured, the board of directors can vote without Manager Ling's approval. This month, Lanjiang City is affected by the financial crisis, and Manager Ling is not around. That's why most of the decisions are decided by the board of directors."
"But didn't Ling Han come back?"
"No, President Ling said that he was coming back four days ago. In the end, I didn't see him at the airport at all. I only received a call from President Ling. In the call, President Ling said that he was going to Shanghai to discuss a project and that everything was temporarily put aside."
Ye Huanyan's face stiffened. She said anxiously, "You're saying that Ling Han has never returned to the company?"
"Yes."
It was common for Ling Han to go overseas to discuss business deals, and the last call was made by Ling Han himself. That's why Xiao Dong did not feel anything was wrong.
Ye Huanyan was extremely uneasy.
She had a premonition that Ling Han had most likely disappeared.
"Xiao Dong, I still have something to do. I'll leave first."
After stuffing everything into Xiao Dong's hands, Ye Huanyan quickly left the Pleasure Group. She was shocked by her own thoughts. After returning to her car, she called Ling Han with trembling fingers.
Just like yesterday, the call was disconnected, and Ye Huanyan received a message. "I am not available to answer your call now. I am in a meeting. Yan Yan, tell me what you have to say first. I will get back to you after the meeting."
Every punctuation was correct, and this was Ling Han's style of speaking.
"I had just left the Pleasure Group, and Xiao Dong said that you are not back at the company. Can you answer the phone?"
"I have something to do."
Ye Huanyan called Ling Han, but no one was answering.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable … …"
The stiff female voice repeated several times in her ears. Ye Huanyan finally gave up calling, started the car, and drove all the way to Haiyan Media.
After entering the company, Ye Huanyan looked for Gu Chi. "Find a way to find out who Ling Han's last call was and what is going on."
"What's wrong? Manager Gu? "
"I suspect that Ling Han is being controlled by someone."
She had not thought about this until Xiao Dong told her about the Huan Yu Group's board of directors overstepping their authority. That's why she had this bold guess.
When the tiger is not around, the monkey will be the king.
Ling Han had disappeared from Pleasure Group for too long, and some of the directors had the power to make decisions for too long. Those who were used to being in a high position had experienced the thrill of it, and it will be difficult to get him to step down from his position.
Gu Liu immediately went to work after receiving the order. Ye Huanyan returned to the office and began to search for all the information about Pleasure Group's directors.
Ling Han had the intention to transfer his shares to her, but she did not agree. She was afraid that if the shares were too scattered, it would be detrimental to his management. However, Ling Han had given her an internal staff relationship form. The original draft was made five years ago when Qiao Mu was still alive, and the content was very detailed. In recent years, it had been revised as the board of directors changed.
After opening his mailbox, he quickly found the relationship form.
The printer beside her started to clatter.
Ye Huanyan first took a portion of the printed form and read it. The first one was the company's development history. The one in her hand was different from the one that Pleasure Group's ordinary employees could find online. It was very detailed, to the point that some things touched the red line of the legal and moral boundary.
Pleasure Group was founded by Ling Han's great-grandfather. It was one of the earliest newspapers in the early part of the last century. After the rise of the entertainment media, Pleasure Group was one of the first to switch to the film and television industry. The transition was not very successful at first, and it was hit hard more than forty years ago. That was why Ling Han's grandmother proposed the marriage. These were all well-known facts.
Wen Qingwan married into the Ling Family with the Wen Family's funds as her dowry. At that time, besides Ling Dongming, Wen Qingwan was the biggest shareholder of Pleasure Group. However, she never interfered with the company. Before she passed away, she directly transferred all her shares to Ling Han.
The data showed that 20 years ago, Pleasure Group had a major board change. Wen Qingwan's younger brother and nephew, Ling Han's third uncle, Umbo, and his third uncle's son, Wen Siyuan, invested in Pleasure Group. The board of directors was reshuffled, and the two people's shares combined exceeded Ling Dongming's shares at that time.
Wen Qingwan and Ling Dongming were in a cold war at that time. The data also vaguely mentioned that Umbo and Wen Siyuan invested in Pleasure Group because of Wen Qingwan.
Ye Huanyan guessed that it was because of a change of heart with Ling Dongming that Wen Qingwan suddenly made such an outrageous move. Pleasure Group had just stabilized its foundation in Lanjiang City and did not need to attract investors to make such an unreasonable request.
Did Ling Dongming agree without considering the overall situation because of his guilt towards Wen Qingwan?
No matter how much she thought about it, these were only her guesses. She did not have time to guess the thoughts of the older generation. She quickly flipped to the bottom and continued to look at the relationship between the board of directors.
After Umbo and Wen Siyuan invested in Pleasure Group, they had always been an inconspicuous existence. Although they held shares that were second only to Ling Dongming's, and there were even cases where the father and son's shares combined exceeded Ling Dongming's in the later board of directors reshuffled, there was no record of them doing anything unusual.
