Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Wife Became a Hot Commodity (4)

Xiao Shuzhu curved her lips in amusement, watching intently as the focus of the second and third eldest was solely on their eldest sister, not their brother.

Compared to the eldest, the other three sisters indeed seemed inferior, both in terms of their family backgrounds and their own educational experiences.

The eldest excelled, and those present related to the second and third eldest, especially Kang Junjia who was clearly the second eldest’s father-in-law by marriage, naturally showed a slight fluctuation in their expressions.

Xiao Shulan tried to puff up her chest and hold her head high, to make her father-in-law proud.

Xiao Shuju felt fortunate that her husband was not present.

The four sisters moved to the other side of Xiao Jianming, where four chairs were set up for them to sit.

Thus, all of Xiao Jianming’s children were now present, which meant that all the statutory direct descendants and heirs had arrived.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became tense.

Everyone’s minds likely began to calculate, "Who should I bet on?"

Xiao Jianming said, "For fairness, I have thought of an idea. I’d like all board members and my heirs to listen."

"Please speak, Chairman."

"Our company, Changda, was built together by my wife and me after a lot of hardships. In this process, many have dedicated a great deal of effort. These predecessors, including my wife’s tearfully built company, have achieved what we have today. Naturally, we cannot let it be destroyed all at once, we cannot fail our predecessors, nor can we let down the employees who are working hard in the company now. Previously, the board members and employees were very concerned about whether my chosen heir has the capability to continue Changda’s legacy. Therefore, the person who can lead Changda and create the most glorious future for it would be the most suitable future chairman of Changda, don’t you all agree?"

The crowd seemed to mentally re-evaluate Xiao Jianming’s words and, finding nothing to fault, replied, "Yes, Chairman."

"In that case, to assess who among these people has this ability to create a better future for Changda, then that person should rightfully become the heir to my largest shareholding. Does everyone agree?"

There was no one who did not nod. Then, the people asked, "Chairman, how do you plan to select such an heir?"

"I have several potential projects in my hands right now. They can choose one or several of these to undertake and complete. The person who completes the task the fastest and the best, creating the greatest value for the company, will undoubtedly have the capability to be the leader of Changda."

Xiao Jianming’s selection method seemed feasible.

An unusual silence permeated among the directors present.

Xiao Jianming slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, feel free to speak openly. I have asked you to come here so that everyone can freely express their opinions without reservations, for the sake of the company, right?"

Since Xiao Jianming had opened the floor, the directors present shared their concerns, "Chairman, if we merely assign them tasks to undertake, it’s not guaranteed whether they will do the tasks themselves or delegate them to others, nor whether they themselves possess the necessary skills. As for the difficulty of the projects, it should be increased as well. Rather than choosing projects for them which doesn’t assess their ability to discern and select projects themselves, why not let them choose from previously rejected projects within the company and see if they can revive a dead project? Wouldn’t that be better?"

It turned out they were worried about others ghostwriting the test.
