Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Show of Force Upon Dismounting

"My words might be false, but could this document be fake? The final page bears the seal of the Lin Group." Xu Ke said slowly.

"I won’t accept this. You all are colluding to deceive me. I’m going to accuse you of fraud." Lin Shixian seemed almost deranged as he tore the document in his hand to shreds, as if that would make it cease to exist.

"I have the original copy here. If anyone else wants to see it, they can go and get it copied and have it sent over."

In this moment, the madness of Lin Shixian sharply contrasted with the calm composure of Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao. One hardly needed to see the document to know whether the one just torn was genuine.

"No need, no need. We’ve worked with President Lin for a long time; we know her character the best. There’s no need to look at this document." Someone among the crowd was the first to express their attitude to Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke.

No one wanted to court trouble at that moment; almost as soon as that person spoke, others who were quick-witted also stated their positions, indicating the downfall of Lin Shixian and Lin Shide.

"Shut up, she’s not the new boss of the Lin Group at all. They are liars, understand? Liars! Don’t be fooled by them, call security to throw them out." Lin Shixian shouted loudly, but no one in the office echoed him. He looked like a madman and a performing monkey, jumping up and down.

"Manager Lin’s mental state seems a bit off. I have reason to suspect he is no longer capable of fulfilling this position. He needs rest more than work. What does everyone else think? Oh, I forgot, you don’t need to have opinions because your shares combined are only 49%. So now I announce Lin Shixian, you’re fired. Please leave the Lin Group immediately." Xu Ke said, half-closing his eyes as he looked at Lin Shixian, his voice calm and steady.

"Who do you think you are? You’re just an outsider, how can you make these decisions? Don’t forget this is the Lin Group, not the Xu Group. Stop making use of borrowed authority here." Although Lin Shixian was an elder, he had calmed his earlier emotions, "Lin Mengyao, after all, I’m your uncle. Are you really going to drive me out so mercilessly?" Lin Shixian said, half-closing his eyes as he looked at Lin Mengyao occupying the main seat.

"I think, uncle, your current state is indeed not very stable; it’s better for you to rest at home." Lin Mengyao said, looking at Lin Shixian without any avoidance in her gaze.

"President Lin, although you hold the majority of shares and have absolute authority in the company which we can’t match, isn’t this too much? Manager Lin has been in Lin Group for so many years; there’s no merit but there’s hard work. Driving him away with a single sentence is a bit unscrupulous. Such an inhumane approach chills the hearts of us veterans of the company." A slightly aged woman sitting not far from the main seat said, looking at Lin Mengyao.

"Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, this gentleman has no position or shares in our Lin Group, and since the current meeting is an internal company meeting, isn’t it inappropriate for an outsider to be here interfering?" The woman looked at Lin Mengyao with a smile on her face, but her eyes were like a pool of dead water, devoid of warmth and vitality.

"What do you think?"

"What can I think? Although you hold the major shares of the company, this is not solely your company. Shouldn’t you discuss with us shareholders before making any decisions? Otherwise, what’s the point of calling us to the meeting? Hopefully, President Lin, you can separate personal matters from business and not bring anyone into the company indiscriminately, as it creates a bad influence." The woman said slowly, rearranging the folds of her sleeve as she lowered her head.

"Is this what all of you think as well?" Lin Mengyao did not directly answer the woman’s remarks but instead turned her gaze toward the faces of others in the conference room, her expression unreadable.

"I think Chairman Deng is right." A shareholder spoke up under Lin Mengyao’s gaze.

Others, while not speaking, expressed their stance through eye contact and nodding.

"Since you all share the same concern, let me address it collectively. Regarding your issue about dictatorship, I can only say that I will not compromise on my rights. Indeed, the company is not just mine, but if a decision causes a loss, I will be the most impacted. I will never do anything detrimental to the company, you can rest assured. If you really can’t tolerate my autocracy, there are only two paths in front of you: either buy shares from me or obediently follow my instructions."

"Regarding the second point you mentioned, he is my lawful husband. Everything I own, half of it belongs to him, including the shares. So, how can you say he has nothing to do with the Lin Group? Which obviously makes this point invalid. If there are no further issues, let’s continue with our meeting." Lin Mengyao’s eyes slightly widened, appearing innocent yet imposing.

"Fine, Lin Mengyao, Xu Ke, you two really are something. I’ll remember today’s events." Lin Shixian sneered, pointing at the two of them and then flinging his chair aside as he exited the conference room, slamming the door behind him with a thunderous crash.

"Hmph, I’m suddenly feeling unwell and need to rest. I won’t be attending this meeting." The woman who had spoken earlier picked up her bag from the side and, with a displeased glance at Lin Mengyao, got up intending to leave.

"If you leave now, I’ll take it as a voluntary withdrawal. There’s no need to come to the company in the future. The yearly dividends will be credited to your account." Lin Mengyao lifted her head and calmly said to the woman.

"Are you threatening me?" The woman’s voice rose slightly, and disbelief shot from her eyes as if the words almost sprang out.

"It’s not a threat, just stating a fact. So, is Chairman Deng feeling better now? Can she still participate in the subsequent meeting?" Lin Mengyao’s lips curled slightly as she spoke. Under her gaze, the woman’s face flushed red and her body quaked with anger, but she returned to her seat.

The meeting began officially at that moment.

Xu Ke looked at Lin Mengyao, who sat at the front filled with vigor, and a heartfelt, satisfied smile curled his lips.

The day’s work ended quickly. As Xu Ke just sat in the driver’s seat, a warmly scented body ambushed him, filling his embrace. Lin Mengyao looked at Xu Ke with eyes as bright as a child’s.
