The Crazy Son-In-Law

Seeing that the meeting room had regained order, Tan Haohan nodded and then stood up, walking to the nearby podium.

“To all the company leaders and shareholders, I need to announce something important here today!” he declared.

Pausing for a moment, he looked up at Xiao Shun and others with a mocking expression, then helplessly continued, “Starting today, I will transfer half of my privately held 60% stake in Tans Group to Ms. Yao Cen. From now on, she and I will be the two major shareholders of the company, exercising all the company’s rights.”

As his words fell, the room erupted in astonishment.

“Chairman, what is the meaning of this?” Song Lian, wearing an incredulous expression, rushed to Tan Haohan’s side.

Looking at this long-time follower who had been through thick and thin with him, Tan Haohan shook his head helplessly. “This is my personal decision.”

At the same time, a stout middle-aged man in the crowd loudly protested, “No, our board of directors does not agree!”

Seeing this, Tan Haohan didn’t say much, instead turning his gaze to Yao Cen.

Clearly, he intended for Yao Cen to handle this matter herself, setting up an obstacle for Xiao Shun and the others.

Yao Cen, however, was quite astute. She knew this was a show of dominance from the other party, but she handled the situation with ease.

“Please state your reasons and let me hear the objections,” she said with a light smile.

The middle-aged shareholder who had just risen to oppose was named Ye Qiming, the second largest shareholder of the Tan Group besides Tan Haohan, holding 10% of the company’s shares, with significant speaking rights in the board of directors. His opinions were not just his own but those of the entire company’s shareholders.

Seeing Yao Cen’s confident expression, Ye Qiming continued, “Although we shareholders do not know why Mr. Tan has made this decision, we have the right to oppose it. You are just an outsider. If the company falls into your hands, it will be in chaos.”

“Ridiculous!” Yao Cen glanced disdainfully at him and said sharply, “Although I am a newcomer to the company, don’t forget, our fates are now intertwined. Why would I do something harmful to others and beneficial to myself?”

Her words left Ye Qiming speechless.

Indeed, even though she had joined midway and was not part of the group of people involved in the company’s founding and early development, since she had joined, they had become a collective with shared interests, there was no doubt about that.

Even so, the board of directors was not happy to see a person of high rank suddenly join, disrupting the company’s original power distribution.

For instance, Ye Qiming was originally the company’s second-in-command, second only to Tan Haohan. But now, with Yao Cen joining, his position once again dropped, becoming the third-in-command.

Do not underestimate this change in rank, as in such a change, Ye Qiming would also lose a certain amount of influence. The same mindset applied to others, which is why they vehemently opposed Yao Cen’s entry.

Seeing that reason was not on their side, Ye Qiming decided not to argue further, instead resorting to strong-arm tactics, “We, the rest of the shareholders, absolutely do not approve of your joining!”

Little Fei couldn’t contain himself, clenched his fists and growled, “Whoever doesn’t approve, come out and I’ll blow your heads off one by one!”

Song Lian, clearly not one to back down, was about to retort when Little Fei’s outburst caught his attention, “Who do you think you are? Do you have a say here?”

Seeing this, Fatty joked, “Oh my, looks like Little Fei isn’t getting any traction here!”

This angered Little Fei, who glared at Fatty and then charged towards Song Lian with a nearby stool.

Xiao Shun, however, seemingly ignored it all.

After all, some people were just like that; if you didn’t show them their place, they wouldn’t understand.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Before long, the meeting room echoed with the sound of Song Lian’s cries.

Soon, those cries multiplied, becoming the cries of several people!

“I’m not as easygoing as the boss and his wife. If you provoke me, I’ll blast you all to bits!”

Flinging the weapon he held to the ground, Little Fei then stepped over to Ye Qiming, whose face had turned pale. He looked at him with interest, “Who was just running their mouth a minute ago?”

Suppressing his fear, Ye Qiming looked at Yao Cen sitting expressionless in front and asked, “Miss Yao, is this your doing? Even if it is, we won’t yield!”

At these words, Yao Cen shook her head at Little Fei, who was ready to act aggressively. “Little Fei, don’t be impulsive.”

“Understood, Miss Yao!” Little Fei grinned, then gave a fierce warning glance at Ye Qiming before returning to stand beside Xiao Shun.

Yao Cen stood up and walked slowly to Ye Qiming’s side, speaking firmly, “The transfer of shares between Mr. Tan and me is a done deal. I don’t need the board of directors to recognize my status, and you also have no right to do so. This is what I want to say to you and to all the shareholders.”

At this, Ye Qiming sneered arrogantly, “Humph, don’t think that holding 30% of the shares will make you secure. The total shares held by all the shareholders in the board of directors add up to a whole 40%. We have the right to veto all your future personnel appointments and project arrangements!”

At this moment, Tan Haohan, who had been silent on the podium for a long time, smiled imperceptibly.

Because the scene before him was not at all unexpected; it was actually his ace in the hole.

The transfer of shares to Xiao Shun had already been set in stone, and Tan Haohan had no choice in the matter. However, there was something that he needed to fight for logically, and that was the control of the entire company. This was something that absolutely could not be neglected or fall into the hands of Yao Cen!

Yao Cen was insightful and realized that this was Tan Haohan’s countermeasure. She was not particularly annoyed; she considered this to be an ordinary matter.

Then, she smiled and said, “It seems Mr. Ye wants to confront me to the end?”

“Hmph!” Ye Qiming snorted arrogantly, and his haughty attitude made Little Fei want to act again.

However, this time, Xiao Shun didn’t let Little Fei intervene. Instead, he chuckled lightly, “Hehe, don’t be hasty, Yao’s tactics are just about to come into play now!”
