BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6 Grace Like A Queen
The conference room of Zhou corporation was filled with the shareholders of the corporation. They all were whispering to one another, thinking about what was going to happen today.
\'Do you think Zhou Liying will lose her seat today?\'
\'She is such an arrogant kid. She thinks she can discard us, her elders, and still have the position of CEO?\'
\'I am in Zhou corporation from the time of Elder Zhou. No one disrespected me, not even Yonge but look at her, she dared to remove me from my post. Today, I will remove her from her post.\'
Most of the shareholders of Zhou corporation were from the time when her grandfather was handling the corporation. They all were already in their seventies.
In the eyes of Zhou Liying, they were corrupted, useless bunch. So, when she took the command of Zhou corporations in her hand, the first thing she did was to vacate their position. She removed all of them.
They held higher posts and she removed them. After that, their posts were given to the young generation.
Hence, they all were filled with hatred and vengeance toward her. They all wanted to remove her from her post and now was their best chance, that rumours were there that Zhou Yonge was angry with her because of her certain decisions.
\'I can now retire in peace knowing she is no longer the CEO of this corporation.\'
All the murmurs and whispers died down the moment Zhou Liying entered the conference hall. She had such a strong aura that unconsciously, every shareholder stood up from their seats. Many even gulped in fear.
"Good afternoon everyone. I hope, I didn\'t make you all wait for me." She showed her respect, even though she was not late by even a second.
No one dared to comment on if she was late or not except for Mister Li. He was still filled with rage because of the insult by Zhou Liying. She dared to deny his proposition.
"You have made us wait. You don\'t have any respect for us, your elders. Hmph."
"Mister Li." She spat his name and glared at him. "Please check your watch. I arrived exactly at 3 pm."
With a queen like grace, Zhou Liying walked toward her seat. She was completely unaffected by the fact that everyone in the conference room was looking at her.
Only after the queen took her seat on her throne, did the rest of the
shareholders sat back on their seats.
Min Yue smiled secretly looking at the shareholders. They all were daring to remove Zhou Liying from her position but at the same time, they were so fearful of her.
"I welcome you all to the shareholders\' meeting of Zhou corporation." The speaker of the meeting spoke from the stage. "Agenda of today\'s meeting is the removal of our current CEO, Zhou Liying from her position. Without any future ado, we will start the voting."
The voting system was the latest one. Everything was electronic. That way, the shareholders, not present in the meeting could also vote live from their places.
There was a screen on the front wall of the conference hall where everyone could see the changing result.
"So arrogant, ninety-five per cent of votes are already in the favour of her removal but still she is sitting on her seat like a queen." Mister Li grunted when he saw the counting where ninety-five per cent were in favour of her removal. He didn\'t note that only 27% of shareholders had voted till that time.
Zhou Liying smirked upon hearing him but didn\'t say a thing. She was looking at the watch which was counting down the time for voting.
"Two more minutes and she will be no longer a CEO." The moment Mister Li said this, there was a sudden change in the results.
The results which were in favour of her removal changed to against her removal. There was a sudden increase in the votes cast and, in a blink, there were seventy per cent votes to not remove her and that was how the voting ended.
"Impossible, this is impossible." Mister Li banged hard on his table and stood up from his seat making a loud noise.
Zhou Liying leisurely stood up from her chair and turned toward the shareholders. She leaned on the table and looked at the pale faces of shareholders.
"I am sure no one will say I cheated because everyone knows that no one can muddle with the voting technology."
She started to blow air on her nails with a victorious and shrewd smile on her lips.
"Grandma has once advised me, never to believe in rumours. But look at you all fools, did you believe that I have a fallout with uncle and that too because of a stupid debate?" she chuckled.
Her chuckle was full of chilliness that goosebumps erupted on the skin of many shareholders.
"But who dared to cheat us?" Mister Li punched on the table, turning gazes of everyone toward himself. "We all oldies have decided to vote in favour and we have thirty-five per cent shares. Then how can it be only thirty in results? Who voted against the agenda?"
Mister Li fumed and looked around with accusation in his eyes.
"Mister Li, stop looking around at others. It\'s your family who has betrayed you." She gloated.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, I threw some money and like greedy peeps, they transferred their shares in my name. Your wife, whom you love more than anything, whom you have given eight per cent shares of Zhou corporations didn\'t think twice before giving them to me. I am sure, by now, she is on a world trip with her boyfriend."
"And your son...."
"You are lying?" Mister Li yelled, feeling furious.
"You can check."
Mister Li pulled out his mobile and quickly dialled the number of his wife and son. He could not believe that his family betrayed him. They transferred his hard-earned shares to Zhou Liying just like that.
Meanwhile, Zhou Liying made her way toward the door of the conference room. She didn\'t have more time to waste on the bullshit of some stupid shareholders.
She was at the step of the door when she stopped and looked at Mister Li, remembering how he called her heartless B!tch.
"Mister Li, I forgot to tell you, police officers are waiting for you outside the conference room."
"What do you mean?" Mister Li paled completely and his phone slipped out from his hand. He was not able to contact his family and he knew their backstabbing was the reason.
"You have called me heartless. But unluckily, you have not seen how heartless I can be." She flashed an emotionless smile. "I have already sent evidence to the police department about all the corruption and bad deeds done by you. Your properties are already sealed. I am sure you are going to spend the rest of your life in jail."
BANG!
Mister Li fell to the floor hearing her words. Other investors also stepped back, afraid of Zhou Liying. Today, again they saw her power. No one can cross her. Otherwise, they\'d be finished like Mister Li.
