Chapter 334 - New Shareholder
Beauty and the Bodyguard
âBrought him back, and got him back home first.â Lin Yi said. âThe guyâs got no guts, and really skinny and starved. Donât want him dying on me on the road or anything, so I brought him back to his dad firstâ¦â
âOh?â Pengzhan took the news happily. âHeâs home already? Thatâs great news! Yi, you really are our lucky star- all my problems have been solved with ease ever since you came!â
âAh⦠Donât lower your guard just yet, Uncle Chu. Jin Gubangâs really just a clown on the front stage- the guy behind him, thatâs the problem we should be focusing on.â Lin Yi warned. âEven Li Cihuaâs just a representativeâ¦â
âI understand that, but theyâve been plotting against my Pengzhan Industries for a long time now- they wouldnât be able to pull any moves without an insider helping them. Iâll teach that Jin Gubang traitor a lesson later.â Pengzhan nodded- outsiders stood no chance if the shareholders were banded together.
âAlright, Uncle Chu. Iâll leave it at that.â Lin Yi wasnât too interested in company affairs. âThe thing is, Uncle Chu- youâre just too nice. I think you shouldnât let Jin Gubang stay in the company anymore after this whole thing. Tell him to give his shares up and get out.â
âIâm not planning on holding back this time around.â Pengzhan sighed. âIâve tried to be as lenient as possible for my fatherâs sake, but thereâs no room for that anymore with the state the company is in. Donât worry, Yi- Uncle Chu wonât be adding trouble onto your plate from now onâ¦â
âItâs not really troubleâ¦â¦ My old man told me to come here to work for my employerâ¦â Lin Yi smiled- He took this final mission quite seriously- he was quite looking forward to his retirement.
âWhat about Xie Guangbo? He wouldnât be supporting Jin Gubang anymore, would he?â The core problem crossed Pengzhanâs mind then.
âOf course not- he gave all his shares to me.â Lin Yi said before handing the share-transfer document to Pengzhan. âHe transferred it to me, but Iâll put it under your name after we do the procedure.â
Pengzhan wasnât expecting Lin Yi to actually have gotten Guangboâs shares! He didnât think much of it when Lin Yi mentioned it, since that old man Guangbo had his son to care for, even if he himself didnât have those wantsâ¦
As far as Pengzhan could tell, Guangbo would risk his life just to have something to leave for his son.
âHe really gave you his shares?â Pengzhan was both stunned and surprised- heâd imagined the best case scenario as Guangbo teaming up with him against Gubang, but Lin Yi had brought him even better news. Guangbo wouldnât double-cross him anymore, because he wasnât part of the company in the first place! âBut Yi- letâs leave those shares under your name. Youâve deserved them, you got it with your own ability. What right do I have to take that?â
Pengzhan rejected the shares with a wave of his hand.
âMe?â Lin Yi wasnât expecting Pengzhan to give him the shares.
âConsider it part of your payment⦠Haha.â Pengzhan chuckled. âAlright, weâll stop here- just keep those shares to yourself. But now youâll have to cooperate with me- thereâs something we have to do!â
âWhat is it?â Lin Yi asked. âJust give the orderâ¦â
Lin Yi hadnât thought of keeping the shares for himself- he knew who treated him well, and who treated him badly, after all. If he were dealing with Liu Tianyiâs family, heâd ask for a sum of money even if he didnât take the shares, but there was no need for any of that with Pengzhan.
âHaha- youâll have to participate in the shareholder meeting!â Pengzhan chuckled. âLi Fu, spread the word- weâll introduce our new third largest shareholder!ââUnderstood, Mister Chu!â Li Fu nodded- even a solemn charcater like him showed a smile on his face, anicipating the sort of look on Gubangâs face.
Gubang was quite troubled- Pengzhan was starting a shareholder meeting all of a sudden! What was wrong with him, hadnât he been avoiding the board meetings the past few days? What was he doing all of a sudden?
Had he dealt with Guangbo? Had he made new preparations? Guangbo shouldnât be at the company today, since he was sick- how were they supposed to have a shareholder meeting when the third shareholder wasnât present?
It was odd, but he made an appearance at the meeting all the same. He had to act the part.
The shareholder meeting had more particpants than one would find in a board meeting- even some of the smaller shareholders would take part in it. Gubang nodded to some of the shareholders he was associated with before seating himself to the left side of Pengzhanâs seat.
It had always been his seat- a symbol for his status as the second largest shareholder. The seat to Lin Yiâs right, on the other hand, was a seat for the third shareholder.
Gubang didnât see anyone in that seat- he frowned. Was Pengzhan thinking of excluding Guangbo? How were they supposed to have this meeting when the third shareholder wasnât here?
Time passed as Gubang sat in his seat, thinking. What the hell was Pengzhan doing?
Did he just call everyone out for fun?
The room quieted down all of a sudden, and Gubang raised his head to Li Fu walking in- it was something that signalled the arrival of Pengzhan. Li Fu would always set the documents and tea on the table one step earlier than the chairman himselfâ¦
Pengzhan walked in not long after, a young man by his side. No one else thought much of it, assuming it to be a new secretary, but Gubang knew better, his eyes freezing upon seeing him.
This was Lin Yi!! The man whoâd ruined his plans last time- a man he wanted dead! What was he doing here??
Wasnât he Chu Mengyaoâs bodyguard? Was he protecting the chairman now?
