Chapter 688 Stepped Into The Trap...
Fu Jing, who knew he would lose this battle, stood up from his place and spoke, "I agree that the chairman is in good condition but we need him to be well enough to lead this company. I just need an answer, till when would he be back?"
With this, Li Yong stood up too and sided with Fu Jing. "I agree with this. We need the chairman who can work." Others on their side agreed too.
Jiang Yuyan was ready for this. Xiao Min attached the USB to the laptop present at the table on the stage that was attached to the projector. Everyone looked at the screen and there was a report that the doctor made about the improvement of Lu Jinhai's condition that stated he would be fine completely in a month.
"I think it should not be a big deal for us to wait for him just for a month as he is the one who created this empire by spending so many months of his life working to his bones," Jiang Yuyan asked which was more like an order instead of a question.
"And what if he can't make it after a month, then?" Fu Jing asked.
"Then, we can always conduct the same meeting but with the candidate who really deserves to be the next Chairman," Jiang Yuyan replied, which was offending for Fu Jing as she was calling him non-deserving in front of everyone.
"We are ready to wait for a month," the supporters of Lu Jinhai spoke and most of the others who were on neutral side nodded too knowing Lu Jinhai's capability.
Fu Jing had no other choice but to wait for a month and pray that Lu Jinhai won't wake up. He didn't want to lose this young woman in front of him so easily, so Fu Jing came up with another plan.
"As the lady is here to decide, I want to know what Mrs. Lu thinks about the president's position. I am sure Mrs. Lu is not planning to appoint any inexperienced person in the president's chair," Fu Jing commented as he smirked.
Smiling at it, Jiang Yuyan replied, "If I would think about the deserving candidate with the most experience here who knows everything about the president's work and how to handle everything, I find Xiao Min the most suitable person. He is the one who worked for really hard instead of just passing the orders."
These words shocked everyone, including Xiao Min. He didn't expect his boss to say this, but he felt glad that his hard work was being recognized even after his previous boss was not there.
Jiang Yuyan understood, Fu Jing's words were directed towards her as he was sure she would claim the president's place but little did he know that she didn't plan to be one. She was there just to secure the Chairman's position. Jiang Yuyan accepted his words and thought to mock him instead of showing she was not interested. The way her presence scared them, she was enjoying it.
Li Yong was the most annoyed person with this statement from Jiang Yuyan and spoke, "Mrs. Lu, this can't..."
"Hear me out first, Mr. Li Yong," Jiang Yuyan interrupted Li Yong as if he was no one important.
Jiang Yuyan continued, "I was just giving an example of the deserving candidate according to the criteria of experience and if that is what Mr. Fu Jing wants, I don't have any objection in making Xiao Min a president."
"Mrs. Lu, it doesn't work like this. To make someone president, you need board members' support. Only one person can't decide it. Also, Xiao Min can't be the candidate as there are people sitting here who have power in the hands to lead the company."
"Mr. Fu is right," said Li Yong
"Yes, we agree with Mr. Fu," other supporters of Fu Jing said together.
Jiang Yuyan smiled lightly as what she was expecting from these people was coming out and these people were going to be caught in their own trap.
"So what do you suggest, Fu Jing?" Lu Chen asked, knowing this was the opportunity to make Fu Jing say for what they had planned everything.
"Only the board of directors will decide who the next president would be. We have a total of twelve boards of directors and the person will get the position with the majority support," Fu Jing spoke and his supporters agreed with him by saying yes in unanimously.
"That's it?" Lu Chen asked, carrying a mischievous smile showing he was happy with what Fu Jing said.
Fu Jing noticed it and felt confused. Lu Chen who was one calm person and when Fu Jing thought Lu Chen wouldn't be able to do much, he looked confident and he even went out of China to get the shareholders on their side.
Fu Jing sensed there was something not right and spoke again, "But there is a minor change in it."
Everyone looked at Fu Jing and he noticed Lu Chen's expressions changed from glad to tensed that boosted Fu Jing's confidence and he spoke.
"This time the number of votes won't be considered but the percentage of shares each director has will matter. The side that will get support from the highest percentage of shares will win."
The moment Fu Jing said it, Lu Chen's expression's turned even tensed, Jiang Yuyan stood silent with neutral expressions. Xiao Min and Xiao Dong both looked tense too.
Seeing this, Fu Jing was sure he did the right thing. Little did he know, he just stepped into the trap set by Jiang Yuyan and her people.
"So, I hope Mr. Lu Chen and Mrs. Lu won't mind it," Fu Jing asked.
Before Lu Chen and Jiang Yuyan could say anything, the supporters of Fu Jing agreed with him. "Mr. Fu is right."
"Yes, the position of president should go to the person who has power behind him," Li Yong said.
"We should not wait for it long. As everyone is here, I would like it to conduct in next two days," Fu Jing suggested and everyone nodded.
"What do you think, Mr. Lu Chen?" Li Yong asked as he smiled mischievously.
"If that's what everyone wants," Lu Chen agreed.
Finally, it was decided to conduct the appointment of a new president in the next two days.
