Tangning withstood the pressure and approached Mo Ting. However, Mo Ting stood up and gestured for her to sit in the main seat.
"I called you here today because Director Lin has suggested to take back Superstar Media at the board meeting twice. I want to know what you think. After all, Superstar Media was created by you. "
After hearing this, Tangning looked at Director Lin with a determined expression. After about 10 seconds, she finally replied, "Before I answer this question, can I explain the entire situation to everyone?"
Mo Ting did not say a word, but the other directors nodded their heads.
After receiving their approval, Tangning said, "I think it's more appropriate to call the matter between me and Director Lin as a personal grudge."
"It all started because Director Lin's brother-in-law, President Fan, was interested in Superstar Media's artist, Luo Sheng. He wanted to invite Luo Sheng to take part in his IP drama, but as everyone knows, Director Lin's brother-in-law has a working relationship with a reputable TV channel. Plus, there was a dispute over the copyright, so Luo Sheng refused to take part in the drama."
"Because of this, I ended up offending President Fan. During our conversation, President Fan personally told me that his brother-in-law was a shareholder of Hai Rui and told me to be careful with my actions. But, a mistake is a mistake. I can't do something that doesn't benefit me just because I want to offend someone."
"I think this is the reason why Director Lin has been chasing after me relentlessly. It's because someone has been giving me pillow talk."
"Hmmph, what we should be discussing right now is whether or not Superstar Media should be shut down," Director Lin slyly changed the subject. "Why are you bringing up a personal grudge with me?"
"If it wasn't for a personal grudge, we wouldn't be in this mess," Tangning retorted. "You want to suppress Superstar Media because you're not used to me. But, what right do you have to do that?"
"Don't forget, all of you agreed to the establishment of Superstar Media. Plus, Superstar Media has always behaved itself and only done what it should. So, why do you hate it so much? Director Lin, if you're not bringing up a personal grudge, then what are you bringing up? "
"I'll say it again, what we should be discussing right now is whether or not Superstar Media should be shut down."
"If President Mo says that he doesn't need Superstar Media anymore, then I am willing to give up on being the boss of Superstar Media …" Tangning replied straightforwardly.
"I've already said that the shareholders will vote on it. If they agree to Tangning leaving Superstar Media, then we will do it. I'm a man of my word." "But, at the same time, after we've dealt with Superstar Media, let's also deal with Director Lin."
Tangning looked at Mo Ting anxiously. However, Mo Ting simply squeezed her shoulder, gesturing for her not to worry.
"President Mo, I have been working for Hai Rui for a long time."
"Since you are no longer willing to submit to my authority, then there is no point for me to be an old official. Exercise your right to vote. Write both answers in one letter."
Seeing Mo Ting's serious attitude, the other shareholders knew they had to get a result today.
"Director Lin, it's not that I want to criticize you, but for the sake of your brother-in-law, you actually hurt your friendship with President Mo for so many years. Is it worth it?"
"That's right. Superstar Media's existence hasn't hindered us at all. Why are you so stubborn?"
"President Mo already gave you a chance last time, you should cherish it. Do you really want to leave the board?"
Under the persuasion of the crowd, Chairman Lin wavered a little.
From the moment Mo Ting became serious, he had already started to regret his decision. However... it was hard to get off the tiger.
Since he had already come this far, it was not up to him to turn back.
At least, Tangning and Superstar Media would be buried with him.
"Let's exercise our right to vote."
Soon, Lu Che returned with the suggestion box and the shareholders wrote their answers on a piece of paper and placed it in the box.
Afterwards, it was time for the public vote.
"Let's first announce the votes for Director Lin's dismissal. He agreed to this."
After hearing Mo Ting's words, Lu Che nodded his head and handed out the votes in front of the shareholders.
Chairman Lin couldn't believe that the shareholders would treat him like this. How could they disregard their many years of friendship?
He couldn't understand that Mo Ting was asking everyone to choose a side.
"President, the votes are out. More than half of the votes are in favour of Director Lin's dismissal …"
After hearing this, Chairman Lin's hands began to tremble. He never expected … this would be the result.
There were actually so many people waiting for him to be dismissed.
It didn't matter. He was waiting for Superstar Media to be buried with him.
But …
When Lu Che announced the votes again, Chairman Lin almost went crazy.
"The number of votes in favour of Superstar Media's closure is only 30%. So, the proposal cannot go into effect."
"You cheated!" Chairman Lin yelled at Lu Che. "Mo Ting, you set a trap! You were waiting for me to jump in. "
Mo Ting looked at Chairman Lin coldly, "Tangning did everything according to the contract. There was no need for the board to vote. I've already given you a lot of face …"
"For the sake of a woman, you're going to hurt the shareholders?"
"I've said it before. If you hurt my wife in public, you're digging my heart out," Mo Ting replied calmly. "From today onwards, you will be kicked out of the board of directors. From now on, you will be a quiet shareholder."
"I, Mo Ting, will stop here today. Since you dote on your brother-in-law so much, then from today onwards, I, Mo Ting, will specifically cause trouble for him. I want to see when President Fan, who often walks by the river, will get his shoes wet. I can also help you calculate how many years he will be sentenced to after he goes to prison!"
"You want to fight with me?" Your fate is yet to come …
Of course, Mo Ting couldn't possibly say the second half of his sentence out loud. But, he still needed to be careful around Chairman Lin and President Fan.
At least, the shareholders present wouldn't challenge Mo Ting's authority just because they had done so much for Hai Rui. Their goal was profit, and Mo Ting was the only person in Hai Rui that could maximize their profits. So, it didn't matter if the board kicked out a director.
Plus, all the shareholders understood that Chairman Lin was obviously making a scene in front of Mo Ting because of a personal grudge.
But, who would have thought, Mo Ting didn't buy it.
Everyone knew how much Mo Ting doted on his wife. Yet, Chairman Lin thought that he could win against someone else's beloved?
Needless to say, he deserved it!
"That's all for today's meeting. Dismissed."
After speaking, Mo Ting helped Tangning out of the meeting room.
He looked at Chairman Lin's hateful gaze with disdain. After all, there were plenty of people that hated him in this world. But, he would never compromise and sacrifice Tangning's interests just because his opponent was strong. This was how a man protected his woman! In fact, it would always be effective.
"Is it really okay for you to be so protective?"
