Rebirth Sweet Wife, Super Cute-Chapter 15: But What If Bai Haoxue Isn’t Dead?
At the Cheng Group, Bai Xiongan stood fervently on the conference platform, enticing the shareholders, "Ladies and gentlemen of the board, I, Bai Xiongan, have been temporarily managing the Cheng Group for over four years. During these four years, even if I haven’t achieved great merits, I have certainly endured hardships."
"Today, the reason for calling this extraordinary shareholders’ meeting is because recently our Cheng Group’s stock has been unstable, declining continuously. As for why the stock keeps falling, I believe everyone is well aware — it’s the issue continually criticized by the media: Our Cheng Group is currently leaderless, without a true leader."
"The reason today’s stock has plummeted to rock bottom is speculation that our only heir, my niece, Bai Haoxue, is believed to be dead."
"Today, for the Cheng Group and its better future, I, Bai Xiongan, hereby volunteer myself. I am willing to become the chairman of Cheng Group, and I am willing to lead Cheng Group to new heights."
A thunderous applause erupted in the vast meeting room, with only a few elderly shareholders and a young man refraining from clapping.
Bai Xiongan gave a signal, prompting a shareholder on his side to stand up and say, "Chairman Bai doesn’t need to volunteer; this position undoubtedly belongs to you."
"Yes, it’s undoubtedly yours. Who else but Chairman Bai could fill this role? No one more suitable for the position can be found."
One by one, those on Bai Xiongan’s side echoed in agreement.
"Indeed, Chairman Bai, as you know, our Cheng Group’s old chairman passed away due to illness. He handed the group over to the young lady, but as fate would have it, she was taken in an accident too. The young lady’s closest family left were the younger lady and her husband, but her husband passed away not long after, leaving only the younger lady."
"But outsiders may not know the full story about the younger lady; although we claim she’s merely ill and receiving treatment abroad, our younger lady perished in the cruise explosion, which Chairman Bai has shown us video evidence of. Over these four years, for the stability and development of the Cheng Group, we’ve been burdening Chairman Bai enough as it is."
"That’s right. Today’s stock suddenly dropped to the bottom because the media inexplicably got hold of the news that the younger lady had also passed away, leading them to believe the Cheng Group has no heirs. If we now present Chairman Bai as our leader, those claiming the Cheng Group lacks succession can be silenced."
For these four years, Bai Xiongan has only been the temporary leader of the Cheng Group, and several old shareholders do not support him.
Yet, with the Bai Family’s immediate members having passed, Bai Xiongan became the only external family related to the Cheng Group. The Cheng Group only had Miss Cheng Di, who married Bai Xiongan’s brother, Bai Xiang, and they had only one daughter, Bai Haoxue.
After the Bai Family’s three members passed away one after another, Bai Xiongan took control of the Cheng Group’s shares. Although several old shareholders did not acknowledge him, they had no choice.
Bai Xiongan gained the world’s greatest advantage, becoming the leader of the Cheng Group. Even those who had fought side by side with Old Chairman Cheng proclaimed that directly handing Cheng Group over to Bai Xiongan would be improper and provoke criticism and doubt from outsiders. Additionally, no one knew of Bai Haoxue’s death, so for the group’s stability, it was advised not to disclose the fact that Bai Haoxue was already dead.
At this moment, the only young man present who hadn’t applauded leisurely stood up and said, "What you’ve said is all correct and makes sense, but what if Bai Haoxue is not dead?"
