Chapter 184: Invalid Vote

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Invalid Vote

As soon as Qian Long made his proposal, the majority of the shareholders immediately agreed.

Even those few who remained neutral chose silence.

Thus, Qian Long’s proposal naturally passed without hitch.

"Since that’s settled, let’s start the voting. Those in favor of me as chairman, please raise your hands!" Qian Long asked.

Instantly, most of the shareholders raised their hands.

Seeing this, Qian Long was about to burst with pride.

The majority of the shareholders were supporting him, which meant that the chairman’s position was undoubtedly his.

Qian Long arrogantly looked at Lin Wanqing and said, "Director Lin... oh no, now I should address you as Director Lin. Director Lin, look, more than half of the shareholders have voted for me, so there’s no need for you to continue casting your vote, right? The result of the competition is crystal clear, you’ve lost!"

"Qian Long, don’t go too far!" Wu Kun, standing behind Lin Wanqing, glared at Qian Long and shouted angrily.

He couldn’t stand the sight of Qian Long’s smug demeanor, it was utterly repulsive.

"Too much? I think I’m not overstepping at all. Besides, who gave you the right to speak? You’re just a driver and an assistant. Rest assured, the first thing I’ll do after I officially assume the position is to fire you!"

Qian Long said very arrogantly.

"You!" Wu Kun glared at Qian Long, gearing up to punch him.

Lin Wanqing quickly grabbed Wu Kun and shook her head at him.

Qian Long glanced disdainfully at Wu Kun, then turned to address the other shareholders, his face full of smiles as he said, "Since everyone supports me so much, I will humbly accept the position. I hereby announce, starting from this moment, I shall take over as chairman of Lin’s Jewelry..."

"Bang!"

However, before Qian Long could finish his sentence, the door to the meeting room was suddenly pushed open forcefully from outside.

Everyone in the meeting room was taken aback.

Before anyone could react, a tall figure strode into the room.

Once the attendees saw who it was, their eyes widened in shock.

Especially Qian Long, whose face instantly turned incredibly sour.

The figure was none other than the company’s vice-chairman, Zhou Zheng!

"Vice-Chairman Zhou!"

The other shareholders also exclaimed in surprise.

None of them expected Zhou Zheng to show up.

Qian Long had previously told them that Zhou Zheng would never appear no matter what, but now here he was.

Even a fool could see that the situation had definitely changed.

Zhou Zheng cast a cold glance around the table, and when he saw Lin Wanqing, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly.

Lin Wanqing was taken aback by this.

She had lost all hope and thought that Zhou Zheng wouldn’t come.

Unexpectedly, not only had Zhou Zheng come, but his attitude towards her had also improved significantly compared to before.

Lin Wanqing found this entirely unbelievable.

However, she understood that this must all be thanks to Chen Feng.

The smile on Zhou Zheng’s face was fleeting as he turned to look at the others and huffed coldly, "Hmm, holding a vote to re-elect the chairman without waiting for me, the vice-chairman, to arrive, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, the shareholders looked at each other, lowering their heads, none daring to speak.

Unlike Lin Wanqing, Zhou Zheng commanded immense respect in the boardroom; many of the smaller shareholders feared him.

"Vice-Chairman Zhou, that’s not quite right. You were the one who was late, how is that our fault? Besides, we’ve already finished voting," said Qian Long with a cold smile.

"Finished voting? Without my presence, it doesn’t count, vote again!" Zhou Zheng said very domineeringly.

"Why do we need to vote again? Since you were late, that means you forfeited your vote. So according to the previous voting results, I am already the chairman of Lin’s Jewelry!" Qian Long retorted arrogantly, rolling his eyes at Zhou Zheng.

"You!" Zhou Zheng glared fiercely at Qian Long.

"What ’you’? Not happy? What good will that do? Anyway, I’m already the chairman. I now announce the immediate dismissal of Vice-Chairman Zhou Zheng, effective immediately. Zhou Zheng, you can get out now!" Qian Long said very arrogantly.

"Heh, Chairman Qian, such great authority you have. But are you sure you’re already the company’s chairman?"

However, at that moment, a sneering voice came from outside the room, followed by a slender figure stepping into the meeting room.

This figure was none other than Chen Feng, who had just rushed back from the eastern port.

"Chen Feng!"

Lin Wanqing and Wu Kun both lit up at the sight of Chen Feng.

"Mr. Chen!" Zhou Zheng greeted Chen Feng with great respect.

"Hello!" Chen Feng nodded at the three of them, then turned to look at Qian Long with a smile, "Chairman Qian, long time no see!"

"Why are you everywhere?"

Qian Long looked annoyed and snarked at Chen Feng.

"I had to come to see such a lively meeting today!" Chen Feng said with a light smile.

"Hmph, too bad you’re late. The voting has ended, and I have now become the chairman of Lin’s Jewelry Company. No one can change that!" Qian Long remarked coldly with a huff.

"Really? Then I’m afraid Chairman Qian will be disappointed!" Chen Feng said, smiling.

"What do you mean?" Qian Long frowned and asked, puzzled.

"Chairman Qian, it seems you haven’t properly read the board’s voting regulations for electing a chairman. Let me tell you."

"To re-elect a chairman, there are two conditions that need to be met: First, all shareholders of the company’s board must be present. Second, the company’s vice-chairman must also be present; otherwise, the vote is invalid!"

"It seems that when you initiated the vote just now, neither of these conditions was met, right? So, your previous vote is invalid!" Chen Feng said calmly.

To defeat Qian Long, he had specially studied the regulations of Lin’s Jewelry board, never expecting that he would really need to use that knowledge now.

"Bullshit, when did the board have such regulations? You must be making this up to deceive me, but I am not fooled!" Qian Long’s expression changed, his face showing disbelief.

"Don’t believe it? Then you can ask the others and see if they know!" Chen Feng said with a slight smirk.

Qian Long quickly looked to a shareholder beside him and asked, "Is what he’s saying true?"

"It seems... there really are those two regulations. They were set by the former chairman when the board was first established, and no one can change them!" The shareholder pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Damn it, what a pain in the ass!" Qian Long cursed angrily upon hearing this.

"Now do you believe it, Chairman Qian? Since that’s the case, let’s start the voting over!" Chen Feng said with a smile.
