Chapter 884 - Give A Reason (2)
The major shareholders and the clan members did not know about this part of the history. Now that Ruan Qishan and Mdm Ruan exposed everything, it was the same as if they were cooking Old Fifth and Old Seventh on top of a fire.
The looks everyone gave them once again changed. Initially, they thought of them as grass that was easily swayed by the wind. Now, they were also seen as greedy white-eye wolves.
Old Fifth’s face was as black as the bottom of a pit. Old Seventh was completely silent, but he was already starting to blame Old Fifth.
He was the grass that swayed with the wind. If he hadn’t offended Ruan Zeyan, then perhaps the situation wouldn’t turn out like this.
Old Fifth snorted in anger, “Anyways, I don’t agree. The shares are mine. No one can take them away!”
How could they agree? Over the years, Old Fifth and his entire family had relied on the fact that he was a shareholder to Yuan Teng Corporation and received a generous amount of dividends each year. It was because of these dividends that his family was able to live so lavishly and remain respected and admired in the upper-class circle.
However, it was also because of this that Old FIfth became fearless and spent money like water and did not have much money left over these years. He thought that since the company would give him money every year, there was no need to save it. When the time comes, he would just hand his shares to his children and grandchildren, and then, they could continue living their carefree and parasitic lives.
If Ruan Zeyan took back his shares now, then that would mean that he would have nothing left. The inheritance that the old man had left him had long been spent, and there was barely any of it left.
“The matter is final,” Ruan Zeyan, who had been silent the entire time said, his tone full of unquestionable aggressiveness, “Christine, immediately prepare the necessary documents. Starting next week, the company will begin the process of privatization.”
“Yes, President,” Christine respectfully answered.
“Ruan Zeyan!” Old Fifth angrily slammed the table.
Ruan Zeyan’s cold eyes shot towards Old Fifth. Just the gaze alone was enough to cause Old Fifth’s heart to palpitate, as there was a hand around his throat, and he could not speak.
“The meeting is adjourned.”
Following Ruan Zeyan’s cold announcement, this farce-like meeting came to an end.
Ling Tianya supported Mdm Ruan down and followed Ruan Zeyan out of the meeting room.
At this time, Old Fifth was no longer able to sit any longer. He glared at Old Fifth and hurriedly chased after them.
“Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, wait for me!”
Old Fifth was quite old, and he used the energy from his entire body to chase after them. Ruan Zeyan and Ruan Qishan walked in the front, and Ling Tianya supported Mdm Ruan in the back.
Old Fifth ran over and caught up to Mdm Ruan. He stood in front of her, his old eyes crisscrossed.
“Sister-in-law, I’m innocent. I did not acknowledge Qin Shi as Sister-in-law. I only have you as my sister-in-law….”
Mdm Ruan pursed her mouth, “Old Seventh. Since the situation has come to this, nothing you say will work.”
Old Seventh shook his head and stood there, not willing to leave, “I am older brother’s youngest sibling. From a young age, I didn’t have the privilege to decide things. Everything was decided by my elder brothers, and I followed along. Today’s thing was entirely caused by Old Fifth. I didn’t say anything, nor did anything. Therefore, can you forgive me and not take back my shares? Besides those shares, I don’t have anything else. It’s fine for me since I’m already so old and will not be living that much longer. However, what about my children and my grandchildren? I need to leave something for them so that they won’t starve in the future!”
“Old Seventh. It’s about time that your children and grandchildren learn to be independent. They’re not young anymore, so they should know that they know about self-reliance.” While speaking, Mdm Ruan looked at Ruan Zeyan, “Plus, why should it be that my grandson must work so hard everything and risk being assassinated in order to cautiously and conscientiously operate the business but allow your children and grandchildren to reap without sowing?”
