Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Forced Abdication

"Ah! It’s the company again, something’s gone wrong at the company!" Wu Kun heaved a long sigh and spoke helplessly.

"Another problem with the company?" Chen Feng furrowed his brow, feeling quite puzzled.

Could it be that the troublemakers from last time had returned?

That couldn’t be right, he had clearly told them to wait a few more days.

It had been less than two days since, they shouldn’t have come back yet.

So what exactly had happened?

Thinking this, Chen Feng looked at Wu Kun with confusion, "What happened? Did those guys from last time come back?"

"This time it’s different, there’s an internal problem within the company!" Wu Kun said with a worried look.

By his expression, the issue this time seemed much bigger than the last.

After all, the problem last time, even at its worst, could have been resolved by just paying some money.

But this time, it wasn’t so easily fixed.

If things went poorly, the whole company could be ruined.

"What exactly happened?" Chen Feng’s expression turned serious.

The last time there was trouble at the company, it was because of internal staff.

And now again, it seemed that Lin’s Jewelry wasn’t as glorious as it appeared on the surface; there were serious internal issues.

"Ah, it’s a long story. Qian Long somehow acquired a large amount of corporate shares, and now he has become one of the shareholders and has joined the board of directors."

"Not only that, but he also allied with several other board members and forcibly pressured Director Lin to relinquish his position as chairman so that he himself could take over," Wu Kun said grimly.

Particularly when he mentioned the name Qian Long, he was visibly infuriated.

"Qian Long became a shareholder of Lin’s Jewelry? The directors of your company are even helping him become the chairman? Don’t they know that Qian Long is your company’s arch-enemy?" Chen Feng asked, perplexed.

"I’m not sure what kind of magic potion Qian Long fed those directors, but those directors are veterans of the company holding a large number of shares. With their help, this time, Director Lin might really lose his position as chairman!"

Wu Kun sighed deeply, speaking with a pained expression.

He had been with the Lin Family for many years, watching Lin’s Jewelry grow larger and stronger. Now, to see it potentially fall into the hands of others,

and that person being the Lin Family’s arch-enemy, was undeniably the most painful for him.

"Don’t worry yet, nothing is absolute, there must be a way. Let’s go to the company first, and after I meet Sister Qing, we can think of a solution together."

Chen Feng patted Wu Kun’s shoulder, comforting him.

"Okay!" Wu Kun nodded, then quickly led the way.

The two left the villa, got into the car, with Wu Kun driving, they hurriedly headed to the company.

...

At Lin’s Jewelry Company, in the Chairman’s Office.

Lin Wanqing sat at her large desk, her face showing nothing but exhaustion and helplessness.

The morning’s board meeting was nothing short of a nightmare for her.

First, her arch-enemy Qian Long suddenly joined the company’s board and became a shareholder.

Then, Qian Long and several other board members joined forces to force her to step down.

Lin Wanqing had never felt so helpless, this time, she truly saw no way out.

Because the shares held by Qian Long plus the other directors had already exceeded her own.

With the support of those directors, Qian Long could completely replace her.

Moreover, the last time when Vice President Jiang Yitian betrayed them, leading to a whole batch of goods being swapped, the issue had yet to be resolved.

Qian Long used this as a reason to claim that Lin Wanqing was incompetent in employing people and lacked leadership, thereby forcibly pressuring Lin Wanqing to step down.

This could be said to strike directly at Lin Wanqing’s vulnerability, leaving her, for the time being, utterly unable to fight back.

From this, it was obvious that Qian Long had been plotting this for a long time and had come prepared.

"Sister, don’t lose heart, there must be a way!"

Seeing Lin Wanqing’s worried face, Lin Mengyao, who was sitting beside her, spoke up to comfort her.

"Yaoyao, the situation is far more complicated than you think. Qian Long came prepared this time; he wants to completely ruin our Lin Family. I really don’t have any solutions now," Lin Wanqing sighed, her eyes somewhat vacant.

"If only Dad were here, those directors definitely wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant, and that scoundrel Qian Long wouldn’t dare to snatch our company so brazenly!" Lin Mengyao said through clenched teeth, clearly furious.

"Sigh," Lin Wanqing sighed again.

Indeed, as Lin Mengyao had said, if Father Lin Pengfei were still around, those directors absolutely wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

Lin Pengfei could have easily resolved this issue.

Unfortunately, Lin Pengfei wasn’t in Coastal City now.

All the burdens had fallen on the shoulders of Lin Wanqing, a fragile woman, making her feel almost suffocated.

Over the years, Lin Wanqing had appeared strong on the surface, but the inner bitterness was known by only a few.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just as the Lin sisters were both looking distressed, someone knocked on the office door.

Before Lin Wanqing could say come in, the door was pushed open.

Next, Qian Long swaggered in.

"Oh my, Director Lin, so you are here! I knocked for quite a while and thought no one was in, so I just came in myself. You won’t blame me, right?"

Qian Long slightly curved his lips and spoke with a sneer, his gaze filled with provocation.

"Qian Long, what are you doing here!" Lin Wanqing glared at Qian Long and coldly said.

"I’m just coming to see my future office, is that not allowed?" Qian Long smirked triumphantly.

"Don’t get too smug. Before the board votes, I am still the acting chairman. Now, get out of here immediately!" Lin Wanqing said with an icy face.

"You still know that you’re the acting chairman, huh? If Lin Pengfei had directly appointed you as chairman from the start, do you think I’d still have a chance? So, you should blame your arrogant father for this, hahaha!" Qian Long laughed boisterously.

The fact was just as Qian Long had described. Lin Wanqing was merely the acting chairman; the real chairman was still Lin Pengfei.

And Lin Wanqing’s position was actually just the CEO of the company.

As a result, Lin Wanqing had little prestige in the company’s board meetings.

The directors all felt she was only an acting chairwoman and did not take her seriously at all.

This had provided Qian Long, an outsider, with a perfect opportunity.

"Don’t speak about my dad like that!" Lin Mengyao stared at Qian Long and coldly said.

"Fine, I won’t say it. Wait until the vote at the board meeting in three days, I’ll be the new chairman of Lin’s Jewelry, and Lin Pengfei will be nothing. He really doesn’t deserve another mention by me, hahaha!"

Qian Long laughed arrogantly.

Then, he turned around and walked briskly out...
