Chapter 296: 296. Shareholders’ Meeting

"If the research on this environmentally-friendly paint project is successful, it will indeed bring significant profits. With the country’s strong push for environmental protection, the public has high demands for the safety of decoration materials. Currently, those claiming to be zero formaldehyde on the market are just gimmicks. Although the formaldehyde content is not high, there are hardly any truly zero formaldehyde products. If this project’s research can achieve zero formaldehyde, it will definitely give our company a great competitive advantage."

One of the younger shareholders spoke up.

Su Rou, who was sitting next to Qiao Sheng, immediately brightened up when the project was mentioned.

Her uncle was responsible for the research and development of this project. Qiao’s strong support for it would also help her status within the company if it succeeded.

After some whispered discussion among the shareholders, Qiao Sheng said, "Let’s start voting now."

"I disagree."

As everyone began to vote, a cold voice sounded from outside the door.

The door to the conference room was once again pushed open, and Qiao Xu, wearing a high-end custom black suit, walked in.

Everyone’s gaze shifted towards her, and then their gazes at Su Rou became even more sinister.

The legitimate daughter of the main wife was facing the mistress’s illegitimate daughter, this would be quite a scene.

Qiao Xu stood in front of the conference table, put her briefcase down on the table, and laughed, "Why are you in such a hurry to vote without waiting for me to arrive?"

She picked up a data report from the side, glanced at it, and put it down.

"You dare to invest in a research project from such a shabby laboratory?"

Upon hearing the words "shabby laboratory," Su Rou’s face immediately changed.

She abruptly stood up from beside Qiao Sheng, pointed at Qiao Xu’s face, and screeched, "Qiao Xu, what are you doing here? Is this any of your business?"

Her commanding tone made several shareholders frown, and Qiao Sheng’s face also turned slightly displeased. Upon closer inspection, it even appeared a bit embarrassing.

"Miss Su, Miss Qiao is a shareholder of our company and naturally has the right to speak here."

An older shareholder adjusted his glasses and spoke with a somewhat solemn tone, adding, "This is, after all, a shareholders’ meeting."

Su Rou’s face instantly paled, looking especially ugly.

It was not only because Qiao Xu was a shareholder of the company, but also because of the statement he added, which blatantly told her that even someone like her, with no real status, could attend a shareholders’ meeting. Why couldn’t Qiao Xu?

Su Rou was so angry that she trembled, but she couldn’t vent her anger. She pinched her palm forcefully to control her emotions from erupting.

Why? Why couldn’t she gain any advantage over Qiao Xu even now?

Qiao Sheng looked at Su Rou’s pale face and suddenly felt a pang of pity.

He raised his hand, gently patting Su Rou’s back as if to comfort her, giving her a reassuring gaze before turning to Qiao Xu.

"Qiao Xu, I know you always want to go against me for no reason, and that’s fine. But this zero-formaldehyde environmentally-friendly paint project has great prospects. If you disregard the company’s and shareholders’ interests just to oppose me, what are your intentions?"

Qiao Sheng had always been stifled by Qiao Xu. Even though he was her father, he had never received the respect he deserved from her.
