Umbo opened the champagne at the annual meeting. He stood on the stage in high spirits, looking like a villain who had been plotting for a long time.
"President Ling has a special situation today, so he doesn't have time to attend the annual meeting. Please don't mind him. I apologize on his behalf."
Someone in the audience jeered.
"What do you mean? We were invited to the annual meeting, but President Ling didn't come himself. His time is his time, but our time isn't?"
With a smile on his face, Wen Bo explained unhurriedly, "Isn't this the news? Everyone should have heard that our President Ling's wedding is coming soon. Recently, he really can't get away."
Everyone laughed as well, and some of them looked at Ye Huanyan with unreadable meaning.
Umbo gave an impassioned speech, and his saliva flew everywhere on the stage. He looked like a national leader. Who knew how many times he had prepared this speech in private.
When he finally finished, he signaled his assistant with his eyes and walked toward the lounge.
The directors were notified one after another, and they all went to the lounge.
The year-end board meeting was an important annual meeting that gathered all the directors from all over the country. It was a summary of the entire year, and it was also a review of the company's managers by the board of directors.
Ye Huanyan put down her wine glass, lifted her skirt, and blended in with the crowd.
Everyone knew her relationship with Ling Han. Previously, when Ling Han wanted to transfer his shares, it had caused quite a stir in the board of directors, so the security guard at the door didn't stop her. He just looked at her in surprise and seemed to be a little hesitant.
Ye Huanyan raised her chin and glanced at him arrogantly.
The security guard swallowed the words he wanted to say.
After entering the lounge, Ye Huanyan went straight to the bathroom, locked the door, and hid behind the door to listen to the contents of the meeting.
Umbo, as the second-in-command of the company, was making small talk before the meeting. It was all trivial talk.
After some time, he seemed to have distributed something to the directors present, and his tone suddenly became serious.
"Everyone knows that President Ling is my nephew, but business is business, and personal is personal. Compared to last year's profit, this year's profit is not satisfactory. In addition, President Ling has been more and more inattentive to the company's affairs recently, under such circumstances. The board of directors can even propose to dismiss him, but he is my nephew after all, so I can only criticize him as a member of the board of directors. I will record it down and wait for him to see it when he comes back. "
Everyone was discussing animatedly. Someone said, "During the video conference in the middle of the year, President Ling proposed to transfer his shares to his fiancée. I was very dissatisfied with this. After that, even though President Ling didn't insist on it, I don't think he gave up on this idea."
"This idea is very dangerous. It's not that he doesn't know how big of an impact a casual transfer of shares will have on the stock price of Pleasure. He's really been blinded by women."
"The second daughter of the Gu family is married, right? I heard that she even has a child. Isn't this handing over the Pleasure to someone else?"
"That's right, that's right."
In an instant, there was an uproar in the discussion. A voice emerged from the crowd. "I think it's time to propose a dismissal to warn President Ling. This time, he didn't even attend the annual meeting."
This voice was very unfamiliar. Ye Huanyan thought carefully in her mind and realized that it didn't match any of the directors present.
"How did you come in? You are? "
There was suddenly a commotion in the lounge outside the door.
Ye Huanyan opened the door slightly and saw Qiao Mingsheng. She walked to Umbo's side and slammed a document in her hand on the table. "President Ling is so inattentive to the company. This dismissal should have been proposed a long time ago."
"Qiao Mingsheng, didn't you sell your shares and leave Pleasure long ago?"
"Who let you in?"
Qiao Mingsheng's voice was very low. "Yes, I left for many years, but my heart has always been in Pleasure Group. Pleasure seems to have grown a lot in the past few years, but do you know the real reason why Ling Han wants to transfer his huge shares to Gu Huanyan?"
"What?"
All the directors looked at each other.
"You know Gu Corporation, right? They … seem to be interested in buying Pleasure Group. "
Everyone was in an uproar.
"How is that possible?"
"That won't do."
"If President Ling agrees, I will sign this dismissal case."
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Ye Huanyan couldn't help but admire Qiao Mingsheng's ability to incite people.
She knew that if she didn't go out now, the entire Pleasure Group would change hands, not to mention Ling Han's safety.
"Bang!" The door of the washroom was violently pulled open and smashed against the wall, attracting the attention of everyone at the conference table. Ye Huanyan walked out in a luxurious purple evening dress. She clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, you are really eloquent. If I were not one of the parties involved in the acquisition that you mentioned, I would really believe you."
"Who are you?"
Qiao Mingsheng's face darkened and he stared at her unhappily. "This is a private meeting of Pleasure Group. Who let you in? Where is the security?"
"You also said that this is a private meeting. How did you get in?"
Ye Huanyan's gaze landed on Umbo. "You proposed the dismissal case and incited all the directors to sign it. What's the next step? Are you going to recommend President Wen to be the next president? You guys are really good at putting on a show. "
The directors couldn't stop whispering to each other. It seemed that Ye Huanyan's words had brought them back to their senses. They all began to re-examine the purpose of Qiao Mingsheng's sudden appearance.
"Miss Gu, this is a private matter of Pleasure Group. It's better for you to leave."
Umbo's face turned pale, but he suppressed his anger and tried to speak to Ye Huanyan in a pleasant manner.
Ye Huanyan didn't buy it. "You guys secretly held a meeting when Ling Han wasn't around. You want me to leave? If I leave, who will expose your true colors? President Wen, do you really think that you can hide the fact that you kidnapped Ling Han? "
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the meeting room burst open. Seven or eight police officers broke through the door and surrounded the entire meeting table. "Don't move."
The directors all had looks of disbelief on their faces. A few of them had already cried out in alarm.
Umbo's face stiffened. "Miss Gu, what do you mean by this?"
"You won't give up until you see the coffin, right?"
Ye Huanyan flipped open her phone and tried to find Wen Siyuan's recording.
"President Ling …"
Someone cried out in alarm. Everyone's eyes landed on the door of the meeting room.
Ye Huanyan's hand trembled and she looked up.
The figure who walked in from the door was tall and had an imposing appearance. His face was a little pale, and there was a coldness between his brows that could not be dispersed all year round. He walked into the meeting room and glanced at everyone with an indifferent expression. "Everyone, I'm sorry for being late."
