Chapter 345 - 345: Return of Big Boss Qjn
As his words fell, several shareholders who had been bribed by Qin Sen raised their hands.
About one-third of the total number.
Qin Sen’s eyes concealed a sense of triumph.
For a CEO who was already dead, no matter how much he had contributed to the Qin Corporation in the past, it would all be in vain now.
Among the shareholders, there were quite a few who only cared about immediate benefits and were primarily concerned about their own interests not being harmed.
When Qin Sen approached them, he had promised them substantial benefits in exchange for supporting him in taking over the company’s management.
“Now, for those who choose to continue waiting and believe that the situation should be left to worsen, please raise your hands.”
The proposal to use a show of hands to decide whether Qin Sen should temporarily manage the company was also made by a shareholder who had been bought off by Qin Sen.
Therefore, his words were clearly in favor of Qin Sen.
This led to those who had previously been hesitating about whether to persist in voting in favor of Oin Sen during this round of hand-raising, deciding instead to abstain.
Less than one-third of the people raised their hands.
“The majority rules, and since most people have chosen to support Second Master Qin temporarily taking over the company’s management, then from today…”
Before the words could be completed, the tightly closed door of the meeting room was kicked open from the outside.
Everyone in the room turned uncontrollably toward the direction of the door.
“Assistant Wu?!!!”
The company’s high-ranking executives who were loyal to Qin Lu were nearly moved to tears when they saw Wu Yue. Wu Yue had gone to Eireng with President Qin. Now that Wu Yue had returned unharmed, it meant that President Qin was definitely safe!
The thought of such a pleasant surprise overwhelmed them.
On the other hand, a look of panic suddenly flashed across Qin Sen’s face.
How could this be possible!
Hadn’t it been said that Qin Lu’s residence and Prince Caesar’s mansion were both destroyed in the explosion?
He had also seen the scene after the explosion; the entire mansion had been leveled, and there was absolutely no chance of survival for anyone inside.
How could his luck be so great as to escape the power of the explosion and miraculously survive!
Qin Sen stared anxiously at the entrance, fearful and uncertain of whether that man would appear.
Not only him, but everyone in the meeting room was eagerly watching the entrance, waiting for Qin Lu to appear.
After pushing the door open, Wu Yue stood to the side, and then the orderly sound of footsteps resounded.
Many people had gathered outside.
But the first thing that appeared was a wheelchair.
Qin Lu’s legs were injured and he couldn’t walk.
At a time when Qin Sen was trying to seize power, Qin Lu had no choice but to come in a wheelchair.
“President Qin… President Qin! Are you okay?”
“CEO, you’re still alive? That’s wonderful!”
“Thank goodness, President Qin, you’re safe!”
“Thank God…”
After going through two dark days, employees of the Qin Corporation and most of the shareholders were overwhelmed with excitement when they saw Qin Lu return safely.
On the other hand, Qin Sen’s face turned deathly pale.
Qin Lu was really alive!
That person had passed on false information to him, and he had believed it. In these past two days, he had been actively forming alliances, bribing shareholders, and manipulating employee emotions…
If Qin Lu were to find out about these actions…
Chills ran down Qin Sen’s spine uncontrollably.
He couldn’t even bring himself to look up at Qin Lu.
Nan Yan pushed Qin Lu all the way from the entrance to the main seat without Qin Lu having to say a word. Qin Sen promptly stood up from the main seat.
Due to his extreme anxiety, the legs of his chair made a grating noise against the floor as he stood up.
“Ah Lu, you’re here…”
Sweat covered Qin Sen’s forehead, and his lips quivered slightly due to intense nervousness.
If he hadn’t been holding onto the table, his legs would have given out, and he would have knelt down.
Qin Lu didn’t look at him and casually spoke, “Aren’t you going to invite me to the Qin Corporation’s shareholders’ meeting?” “President Qin, we thought… we all thought…”
You were dead…
No one dared to say this to Qin Lu’s face now, especially the shareholders who had publicly expressed support for Qin Sen’s takeover. They were all lowering their heads and trembling with fear. “You thought I was dead?”
Qin Lu finished the sentence for them.
“You couldn’t even wait for two days, and you were busy trying to change the leadership of the Qin Corporation. I should commend you for working so hard for the Qin Corporation, going above and beyond, and working until death,” Qin Lu’s icy and mocking words made several shareholders feel like they were facing a great enemy.
Although they were shareholders of the Qin Corporation, they held only a minority of the shares. The real power was firmly in Qin Lu’s hands. He was not at all threatened by them, and his methods were powerful and ruthless.
In the past, during shareholder meetings, they were merely decorations. Any opinions Qin Lu expressed were to be obeyed.
Of course, since Qin Lu took over the management of the Qin Corporation, all his decisions had led to the company’s development, and there had not been a single mistake.
“President Qin, we were also worried that due to public opinion, the Qin Corporation would face a crisis, which is why we initiated an emergency response,” one shareholder said.
“Yes, President Qin, we acted with the intention of making the Qin Corporation better, without any selfish motives,” another chimed in.
“In just two days, the Qin Corporation’s stock price has evaporated by hundreds of billions. We wanted to recover the losses and stabilize the stock market,” another shareholder added.
“Well, I’ve seen your good intentions,” Qin Lu said while sitting in his wheelchair, his imposing presence still sending shivers down people’s spines.
He casually folded his hands and continued, “Wu Yue, let everyone see how these shareholders have contributed to the Qin Corporation.”
“Yes, President Qin.”
Wu Yue opened a multimedia device and plugged in a USB drive. Soon, the projector came to life, displaying images and audio on a large screen.
As soon as the images appeared, Qin Sen and the shareholders he had bribed were instantly panicked. The images and audio were recordings of Qin Sen’s meetings with those shareholders, capturing all their plans and hidden agendas.
Qin Sen’s hands and feet turned cold, and the immense pressure made him want to flee. But he didn’t dare!
Even though Qin Lu hadn’t cast a glance in his direction, the intangible force of intimidation emanating from him kept Qin Sen rooted in place, unable to move.
“President Qin, it was just a moment of confusion! Besides… Besides, Qin Sen is your uncle, and we didn’t want to offend him. We were just trying to do him a favor…”
“We know we were wrong. We’ll return everything we received immediately, and we won’t dare to do it again!”
“President Qin, please forgive us this time…”
The shareholders pleaded, but Qin Lu remained silent.
“You’re worried about your own interests and want to gain more from the Qin Corporation, which is understandable. However, the Qin Corporation doesn’t need people like you,” Qin Lu said.
“Wu Yue, give them the documents, ” he added.
As Qin Lu’s words fell, Wu Yue began distributing the pre-prepared stock transfer contracts to the shareholders one by one.
Several shareholders’ faces turned pale. “President Qin, what do you mean by this?”
“When did we say we wanted to sell our shares?”
“We won’t sign this contract!”
The annual dividends they received from the Qin Corporation were so generous, and with Qin Lu in charge, it was a completely risk-free and stable source of substantial income.
They would be fools to sign such a contract!
