Chapter 48

Since the Su family has chosen this moment to confront me head-on, I absolutely won’t back down. I was caught off guard just now, which indeed left me severely injured, but that doesn’t mean I lack the ability to fight back.

"Everyone who owns less than one percent of the company’s shares, leave!" Yu Jing immediately ordered.

A few people, though they were also high-level executives, left immediately because they didn’t own much of the company.

Soon, only about a dozen people remained in the office, six of whom belonged to the Su family: Su Qiliang, his son Su Zihao, his wife Min Shu, his cousin Su Qiguang, and his nephews Su Zixiong and Su Zijie.

These six people collectively owned 30% of the company’s shares. Some of these shares were given to them by Su Qiming a long time ago, and the rest were left to them after Su Qiming’s wife died. This also reduced the advantage of the 36% of shares that Yu Jing held.

Apart from the nearly 70% of shares held by these two parties, about 10% were in the hands of the stock market and some employees, and another 20% were held by the old comrades who had fought with Su Qiming to establish the company.

For example, Zhang Shuo owned 1% of the shares, and there were several others in a similar position. The two company veterans, Han Yuanchao and Luo Xingguo, each owned 5% of the shares. They had always been dissatisfied with the Su family’s actions and stood by Yu Jing. Just by adding their shares, Yu Jing had 46% of the shares. Including Zhang Shuo and a few other elders, she had more than half. However, since Su Zihao had proposed to remove her as CEO, Yu Jing knew that one of these two must have betrayed her; otherwise, the other side wouldn’t have the majority.

"Alright, now that all the irrelevant people have left, let’s not waste time. Since we are to re-elect the CEO, let’s start with nominations!"

"I propose that my father, Mr. Su Qiliang, be the most suitable person to serve as the company’s CEO. Although you, President Yu, are also good, you are a woman and quite young. Our Su family isn’t one to stick to old traditions. If you have someone in mind, you can remarry, and our Su family will not stand in your way!" Su Zihao said calmly.

Yu Jing sneered inwardly. She indeed owned 36% of the company’s shares, but 30% of these were conditional—she couldn’t remarry, or these shares would be distributed among the Su family. This was why she was very cautious about her personal affairs. Although the remaining 6% of shares would still allow her a comfortable life, she was not willing to give them up. Moreover, these shares would be transferred to her daughter, Yuxi, when she came of age.

Yu Jing ignored Su Zihao’s deliberate provocation, and Zhang Shuo spoke up: "President Yu has managed the company for years, and everyone can see that the company’s assets have grown by more than 50% in a few years. She also successfully defeated the joint attacks of several groups like Hengrui at the beginning of the year. To replace such a CEO, is it because you think the annual dividends are too high?"

Knowing that Zhang Shuo was on Yu Jing’s side, no one paid much attention to his words. After a moment of silence in the meeting room, no one spoke. Yu Jing’s icy gaze swept over everyone, and she said, "It seems there are no new nominations. If so, let’s vote directly. We’ll start with the largest shareholders. I believe I have done well in this position and can continue to do even better!"

After Yu Jing finished speaking, she looked at Su Qiliang and Su Qiguang, who owned 10% and 8% of the shares, respectively.

The two brothers exchanged glances, and Su Qiliang smiled and said, "I want to prove that I’m not inferior to my brother, so I choose myself."

"I choose my second brother!" Su Qiguang decided straightforwardly.

After these two made their choices, everyone’s attention turned to Han Yuanchao and Luo Xingguo, who each owned 5% of the shares.

Under Yu Jing’s gaze, the two men simultaneously showed expressions of difficulty and helplessness. Seeing this, Yu Jing’s face turned grim.

After a long while, Han Yuanchao said, "President Yu, we have seen your capabilities, but due to certain reasons, we are sorry to you this time. We choose Mr. Su Qiming!"

After Han Yuanchao said this, he seemed to lose all energy, lowering his head and not daring to look at Yu Jing.

Yu Jing looked at them, took a deep breath, and said, "It’s fine, I understand. If you have any problems, feel free to talk to me, and I will help you solve them!"

"Thank you, President Yu. We don’t have any problems for now," Luo Xingguo said with a bitter expression.

"President Yu, the shares supporting you are 36%, and those supporting my father are 38%, which already exceeds yours. Adding mine, Xiaoting’s, and my mother’s, it’s already 44%. Including my two cousins, it’s exactly 50%. You can’t possibly buy all the shares on the stock market and from some employees, can you? Isn’t that right, President Yu?" Su Zihao laughed loudly at this moment.

Although Su Zihao’s cold sarcasm made him seem overly arrogant and ruthless, the fact was that the situation was already a fait accompli. No one had expected that Han Yuanchao and Luo Xingguo would betray her. This was a blow that no one could bear. It seemed that the Su family had been planning for a long time. While Yu Jing was dealing with the Su family, the Su family was also targeting her. It appeared that due to Hu Ting’s betrayal, Yu Jing didn’t even know about the two’s betrayal, and she might have played a key role in this.

But at this moment, Yu Jing coldly snorted and stared at Su Zihao, saying, "Manager Su, your stance is your own, and it doesn’t represent others!"

"Fine, you just want me to call you President Yu a few more times, right? If you wish, I can call you a few more times while you’re still the CEO!" Su Zihao mocked.

Yu Jing ignored him and turned to Su Zixiong and Su Zijie, saying, "Both of you own 3% of the shares. What’s your stance?"

"We, we support President Yu!" Faced with Yu Jing’s direct question, Su Zixiong dared not look at his father and uncle as he spoke.

Hearing this, Su Qiming and the others’ faces turned ashen, looking at them in disbelief. Su Qiliang even shouted, "Zixiong, what are you saying? Do you know what you’re doing?"

"Dad, I don’t want to, but if I don’t, I’ll die a very ugly death!" Su Zixiong shouted back, unable to bear his father’s roar.

First, the betrayal of Han Yuanchao and Luo Xingguo, and now the betrayal of the Su family’s two young men. The impromptu board meeting became even more dramatic.
