Chapter 143: Chapter 143 - The Battle For Seat

Su Wan walked calmly with Ah Si following behind. Both of them seemed not to have noticed the gazes of people in the meeting room as they marched forward.

Su Wan’s eyes moved and she looked around at the wide and spacious meeting room. At the first glance, she saw Su Jiankai and Su Yurou, the father and daughter who had kind faces but wicked hearts.

However...

Su Wan pursed her lips and realized that her grandfather was not present. There was only one empty seat in the meeting room. Besides her, everyone was present.

It turned out that her grandfather was not attending the shareholders’ meeting today...

Su Wan looked down. She rejoiced in her heart but at the same time felt disappointed. In a way, it might be better. At least her grandfather would not see how she and uncle’s family had come to an open break in their relationship.

At the same time, Su Yurou stared closely at Su Wan. Her face froze slightly and flame of jealousy was burning in her eyes.

What right did Su Wan have to be the biggest shareholder of Sheng Yuan?

She racked her brain to get Gu Zihang, a fine and rich man, but Su Wan had such good luck to win Jiang Xuecheng’s heart the moment she returned from abroad!

That man had even promised that he wanted not a single cent of the shares under Su Wan’s name.

When Su Yurou and her parents knew that Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Ouyang had transferred their shares, they were furious. When their minds were clearer, they went to interrogate the three of them.

However, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang and Mr. Ouyang guarded the secret closely, not uttering a single word about how they had transferred their shares. This proved how brilliant Jiang Xuecheng’s means were.

If Gu Zihang could treat her sincerely like how Jiang Xuecheng treated Su Wan, Su Yurou could still stay calm.

However, it turned out that Gu Zihang was selfish. He loved himself more than others and had even hesitated to marry her!

If she had not used a fake pregnancy as a mask, she was afraid that by now, the second largest shareholder of Sheng Yuan would be Gu Zihang!

The more Su Yurou thought about it, the more she could not accept it. She couldn’t even understand how she got into this state.

Su Yurou heard people around her whispering among them with envious voices.

“Look! This is Sheng Yuan Group’s second young missy, Su Wan. She’s now amazing. Her marriage with the young master has gotten the whole city astir these few days. They are indeed a perfect match.”

“I’ve heard the much talked about Beitong bidding was taken down by Long Teng International and the planner was Ms. Su!”

“So, it’s her. She and the young master are well-matched...”

How could Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng be well-matched?

The more Su Yurou listened, the more she felt sick. She stood up and forced a caring smile. Her voice was soft and gentle but what she said depicted that she was an iron hand in a velvet glove.

“Wan, why did you come so late? I was so worried. Look, everyone here is your senior. It’s not a good habit to be late!”

Such words expressed the care of Su Yurou toward Su Wan but at the same time hinted that Su Wan had the bad habit of coming late, implying that Su Wan did not respect the elders.

Only Su Yurou could put the blame on someone by just uttering a few words lightly.

Su Wan continued walking as if she had not heard her, making Su Yurou stand awkwardly where she was. Just as she was about to continue asking, Su Wan turned around.

“Is your watch damaged? It’s three minutes to 8.30am.”

Su Yurou’s face sank. She looked at her watch and there was indeed three more minutes to 8.30am.

However, Su Yurou would not easily let go of the opportunity to put Su Wan down.

“You shouldn’t come at such timing. Do you know the seniors here have waited a long time for you? You...”

Before Su Yurou could finish talking, she was interrupted by Su Wan.

“Today is the shareholders’ meeting, not a meeting to respect the elders. Everyone here holds shares of Sheng Yuan. Based on what you said, the order of seats would be arranged according to age and not shareholding ratio?”

Su Yurou had not expected a counterattack from Su Wan. She was tongue tied and couldn’t say Su Wan was wrong.

The rule of the shareholders’ meeting had always been that the person who held the most shares had the most power and right to talk. If this point had to be questioned, today’s shareholders’ meeting could not be carried out.

The shareholders present were all stunned that Su Wan, a young lady, could be so eloquent. They couldn’t help nodding and roaring with laughter with no evil intention.

With their wisdom and many years of experience in the business world, they could make out that the eldest young missy and the second young missy were not on good terms. What they should do now was adopt a “wait-and-see” attitude, be wise and play safe.

Seeing how Su Yurou was speechless at being rebutted, Su Jiankai’s brows knitted and creases appeared on his forehead.

“You’re ill-mannered. Su Wan. Is this how your parents have taught you?”

Su Wan met Su Jiankai’s ridiculing gaze without fear. Her voice was as cold as snow as she said, “Uncle, you’re the one who’s ill-mannered. Could you please give your seat to me? Thank you.”

Upon hearing, everyone went into an uproar!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They had been used to seeing Su Jiankai or Su Heng sitting on the chairperson’s seat. Never had they expected Su Wan to request Mr. Su to pass the seat to her so directly!

Moreover, the relationship between Su Wan and Su Jiankai was subtle!

After all, they were relatives and one was the other’s senior...

This shareholders’ meeting might look like a good show of enmity among the rich!

Su Jiankai had never expected Su Wan to speak out without fear and request him to step down!

Su Jiankai couldn’t believe it. This was the first time a young girl could make him angry till his whole body trembled.

He gasped for air and pointed at Su Wan. He felt like his blood was rushing up suddenly. He did not even have the strength to say a complete sentence.

Su Yurou was afraid that Su Jiankai would pass out like how he did on their engagement day. It was with great difficulty that the news of their engagement party had been suppressed. She did not want her family to lose face during the shareholders’ meeting.

Su Yurou walked toward Su Jiankai quickly. While caressing her father’s back to soothe his breath, she asked Su Wan sternly, “Wan, you’re heartless! How could you treat your uncle like this? Where’s your conscience?”

Su Yurou’s overbearing words were very irritating to Su Wan’s ears.

Su Wan narrowed her eyes and she emitted coldness in her look.

“Sis, please watch your words! This is the shareholders’ meeting and I’m only speaking the truth. Please note that Uncle isn’t the biggest shareholder of Sheng Yuan now!”

What she meant was that Su Jiankai had no right to sit on that chair!

Su Yurou was stupefied. She recalled what Su Wan said earlier, that seats were not arranged according to age. It turned out that Su Wan had been setting this up from the very beginning!
