My Evil Genius Wife-Chapter 477
Chapter 477: Meeting V
Everyone was relieved to find out that Grandfather Jiang was simply joking. They all thought that he was serious about kicking Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru out from the company.
If that had happened, it would have caused quite chaos in the company. Dismissing the CEO of the company and the managing director is a big deal after all.
It would have also affected the stocks of the company and its face value in the industry. Negative publicity for a business corporation is not beneficial after all.
Moreover, even though he is the chairman of the company, he still has to present valid reasons to dismiss them from their positions. He simply cannot remove anyone from their positions without any explanation and reasons.
However, their hearts almost stopped when Grandfather Jiang looked at Jiang Ru and then turned to everyone and said, ” When did I say that it was a joke? From which part, did you guys think that I was joking about such a serious matter?”
Not only was his voice chilling cold, but also the stern look in his eyes sent chills to everyone’s spine. He wasn’t the same old and weak Chairman anymore who was heartbroken after the death of Jiang Yue.
Instead, his eyes were fierce and determined as if the old Jiang Hanying was back who had ruled the business industry and had brought the company to its current heights.
.....
Everyone in the meeting room was frozen in their seats and darted their eyes toward Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui awkwardly.
Jiang Ru and Jiang Yahui are not just any employees at the company but the family of Grandfather Jiang.
It was the result of the family feud.
They all were curious as to what led the old man to reach this decision. Hiring a new CEO and kicking out his only blood-related son and granddaughter from the company means that he wants to cut ties with both of them.
How can he even think of something like that? Cutting ties with them means that after he dies, there will be no one to succeed him in the business and the company will be controlled by the others instead of the Jiang’s who established this company from scratch.
The meeting room fell into an uncomfortable and suffocating silence. The sounds of the people breathing and sighing silently and the tik-tok sound of the wall clock in the meeting room were making the atmosphere even tenser and uneasy for everyone.
“Hah!” Jiang Ru who was silent all this while and was trying to register the current situation, couldn’t control her emotions and scoffed aloud in disbelief. She looked at Grandfather Jiang with her cold eyes and asked in a low-threatening voice, ” Mr. Jiang, Do you mean it? About dismissing me and Father?” Her tone suddenly flipped and from Grandfather, she addressed him as Mr. Jiang.
Grandfather Jiang clasped his hands together and looked into her eyes without backing out from this confrontation either and nodded calmly, ” Yes, Ms. Jiang Ru. From now onwards, you and your father have been dismissed from the company.”
His voice was calm yet indifferent at the same time. It wasn’t filled with the same warmth that it used to be before.
Because Jiang Ru isn’t the same joyful and smart granddaughter of his but a manipulative and materialistic woman who can do anything to acquire wealth and power.
Jiang Ru clenched her fists and glared at Grandfather Jiang. Her eyes were burning with fury and if she could, she would have burned him alive with her gaze only.
“Why? On what basis are you making these decisions? Mr. Jiang, I hope you’re aware that you cannot dismiss us on a whim only. You need to give proper reasons for your decision of dismissing us otherwise it will be considered nullified.” Jiang Ru protested.
Unlike her father who was mum in front of his father, she is not going to stay silent and accept the unfair decisions as it is.
If she has to, she will fight against him for her rightful position. Jiang Corporations belong to her and no one can stop this from happening.
She removed Jiang Yue from her way and did so many things for this company. She deserves to rule this company more than anyone else.
No one can come in her way to get what is rightfully hers, not even this old man. Never!
Everyone was caught off guard by the rebellious behavior of Jiang Ru but they all understood her emotions. It must be overwhelming to be suddenly removed from her position just like that without any proper prior notice.
“Yes, Mr. Chairman. You cannot remove them from their positions just like that. If there are some issues in the family, you should resolve them between the family only.” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
” That’s right. You should talk to them seriously if you’re upset about something. You cannot dismiss them just because you’re angry at them for something.”
“Mr. Jiang, You should think about it again. Doing this would only cause harm to the company and nothing else.”
Jiang Ru swallowed her anger and tried to control her emotions while the other shareholders supported her and questioned the decision that was taken on a whim by Grandfather Jiang.
She took a deep breath and turned to Grandfather Jiang once again and said, ” Grandfather, if you’re angry at me about something, you should talk to me about it first. How can you make an unfair decision like this?”
” I know I am not your favorite granddaughter. I never was. However, it wasn’t my fault that Jiang Yue passed away earlier than me. Why are you punishing me for something which isn’t even my fault? WHY?” She burst into tears and her voice choked as her anger and frustration turned into crocodile tears.
She wanted to scream loudly and break everything in the office but it was taking years of patience for her to control her temper in front of everyone. She cannot break down just like that. She has to stay strong and fight for her rights.
Everyone’s hearts melted to see Jiang Ru breaking down in front of everyone miserably. They looked at Grandfather Jiang and said, ” Mr. Chairman, I think you should think about your decision once again. Ms. Jiang Ru has been working with us for years now and has always worked hard for the company. It’s an unfair decision on your part.”
“Yes. I agree. We don’t support this decision of yours. I also vote in the nullification of this decision.” Other shareholders also started to speak up to see the condition of Jiang Ru.
Jiang Yahui and Jiang Ru exchanged glances and were pleased by the reaction of others. At that time, Jiang Ru knew that it was time for her to reveal her hidden gem.
She looked at Grandfather Jiang with her teary eyes and said, ” Grandfather, I was trying to surprise you later by giving you the good news. However, I didn’t know that you were planning to hurt me instead.”
She sniffled while wiping her tears with the tissue paper and said with her reddened eyes, ” Grandfather, I might not have achieved anything in your eyes, however, I have always worked hard for the company.”
“That’s why to prove my worth to you, I even cracked a deal with the President of Han Corporations, Han Zihao. Yes, the king of the business world, the great Han Zihao.”
“I purchased land from him at prices lower than the market price. The land is situated on the south side of the Xun District. The area is still in the stage of development and many other facilities, such as hospitals, and highways are going to be connected by this area soon. Buying land in such an area and building a hotel there would be profitable for us in the long run.”
“He doesn’t give anyone such a big discount but I managed to crack such a profitable deal with him.” She said while looking at the other shareholders, bragging about her achievement and her close relationship with Han Zihao.
If Grandfather Jiang wants to go against her, she will pull others toward her. Does he think that she can do nothing without him?
Hah! He is mistaken. She is Jiang Ru, she can get whatever she wishes for. No one can stop her from getting what she desires.
“Grandfather, to prove it to you, I didn’t even use the funds of the company and used all of my savings to buy that land. Even Father has also put almost all of his life savings to buy that precious land which is ours now.”
” It was all because I wanted to prove my sincerity to you and fulfill your dream to build a hotel of your own. I did all of this just to impress you yet you want to kick me out of this company. How is this fair?” Her eyes brimmed with tears once again which moved everyone’s hearts.
