Tang Hao stiffened, and Tang Xi smiled. “And why are you so diffident? Perhaps I will be kicked out of the company by you? But in that case, when I come back in a week and hold a shareholders’ meeting again, I may still kick you out. But then you will have a week to work out a way to keep your jobs.”
Tang Xi’s words reminded the other shareholders. Even if they successfully recalled Tang Xi, once Mr. Tang came back, she would become president again, and then they who voted in favor of the recall of Tang Xi would definitely face Tang Xi’s retaliation and then they would end up miserably!
Tang Jieren noticed the other shareholders had been dissuaded by Tang Xi. He scowled and murmured. “I underestimated this woman!”
Tang Yaoren snorted and said coldy, “Don’t worry! It’s not certain how long she can live. Since there was one air crash, then there can be another one! I’m afraid she may not be able to stay alive for more than a week!”
Tang Xi who had had sharp ears because of 008. “…” She glanced over the three of them and coldly said, “Can’t you discuss about how to kill me after the meeting ends? I can hear you.”
The three of them. “…” Shit, she could hear them?!
The meeting continued…
As Tang Xi expected, some small shareholders who were in favor of the recall of her had changed their sides and proposed to let Tang Xi continue being the president. There were 23% shares in favor of Tang Xi and 17% in favor of Tang Jieren’s side. Tang Yaoren frowned and stared at Tang Jieren, asking angrily, “How did you prepare for this?! Didn’t you say it was absolutely safe?Why did they suddenly change sides?!”
Tang Jieren looked angry too. He didn’t expect these people would change their sides at this critical moment! However, thinking of the call he received last night, he gave a confident smile and said, “Don’t worry! There is still one shareholder who hasn’t come here yet.” Tang Jieren stood up as he said, “Although there are 23% shares in favor of Tang Xi, the shareholder who holds 28% shares hasn’t arrived yet, right?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows at Tang Jieren and her eyes had a cold gleam. These people were just making desperate struggles. Imagining how Tang Jieren would look later, Tang Xi couldn’t wait to see the last shareholder to show up.
Tang Jieren shouted, “So the meeting can’t be finished yet!”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Director Tang, since you are so desperate to hear that shareholder’s decision, you should bring him here.”
Tang Jieren frowned. He called a phone number and soon the call was picked up. Tang Jieren’s eyes lit up and hurriedly said, “Mr. Lu, where are you? The meeting is going to be finished…”
“I’m at the door of the meeting room.” When Tang Jieren heard this, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open. Tang Jieren looked at the door of the meeting room in excitement, but suddenly froze….What was going on here?!
A man in a formal suit and with well combed hair was standing at the door of the meeting room and looking coldly at them. Tang Xi was also surprised when she saw this shareholder, but soon she shook her head with a smile. It was no wonder Qiao Liang didn’t accompany her to the company. He had prepared everything!
Little Six in skin mask was standing still and looking around at the meeting room. Then his gaze fell on Tang Jieren’s face. Just when he was about to enter the meeting room, Tang Hao suddenly rushed up to him and shouted furiously, “Damn it, why are you here?! Don’t you know where here is?! Get the hell out of here.”
Little Six glanced at Tang Hao with disdain as if looking at a clown, and sneered. Then he flicked the dust off his collar, walked past Tang Hao, sat beside Tang Xi and casually threw the documents in his hand onto the table. Tang Xi looked at Little Six. The latter exchanged a glance with her, and then turned to look at the other shareholders as he introduced himself, “I’m Lu Zhenting, the second largest shareholder of the Empire Group.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and Tang Hao froze there as if being struck by a bolt of lightning out of the blue. Tang Jieren looked shocked too. Wasn’t he that man from this morning…
“Nonsense! You’re just a barking dog under Tang Xi! You’re her bodyguard! Do you think I will believe you?!” After a short pause, Tang Hao glared at Little Six and spluttered. “Get the f*ck out of here!”
Little Six didn’t even bother to look at Tang Hao. He turned to Tang Jieren and casually said, “I believe we met this morning, but did I say I was Tang Xi’s bodyguard?”
Tang Xi smiled and watched Little Six play the show as she said, “It turns out that you’re Lu Zhenting. Thank you for your help, Mr. Lu. Otherwise I might have been injured by some people.”
Little Six smiled and looked at Tang Xi. “I did that because I was afraid he might knock into me. He looked just like a lunatic. I didn’t expect I accidentally saved President Tang.”
Tang Xi nodded with a smile. Tang Jieren saw that they were talking happily with each other, hurriedly interrupted them and said, “Mr. Lu, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. I apologize for that. Now could you vote?”
Little Six looked at his eager face, and a gleam of scorn flickered across his eyes, but he still smiled and asked, “Have you all voted?”
“Yes, now there are 23% shares against the recall of me, and 17% in favor of the recall.” Tang Xi looked at Little Six with a smile and said mildly, “So the 28% shares you hold is decisive.”
Little Six nodded and looked at her. “Okay, I see.”
“Yes!” Tang Jieren hurriedly cut in and said to Little Six. “Mr. Lu, hadn’t we decided last night? Now you can just vote as what we decided last night!”
Little Six raised his eyebrows. “Decided last night? What did we decide?”
Tang Jieren scowled when he realized that Little Six was going to change sides. Little Six continued, “Do you want me to support you, Director Tang? But what happened this morning made me very unhappy, so I don’t want to support you now!”
Little Six then smiled. “But I don’t feel like breaking my words, so I won’t change my sides and support someone else…”
