Chapter 197: Chapter 0197: Brothers Draw Swords

Lin Yingying giggled, and although her words were teasing, they were indeed true.

That night, she had taken the medicine.

If it weren’t for Long Fei’s robust health, he really wouldn’t have been able to help her.

Perhaps it was because she had never been with a man or maybe all men were like that, but either way, it was none of her business any more.

Shortly after, there was a knock at the president’s office door.

Lin Yingying straightened her clothes but didn’t speak just yet.

Her uncle, Lin Guohao, barged in with his son Lin Jiahui, scanned the president’s office, hands behind his back, and said admiringly, "It’s been a while since I’ve been here, when did they put up this glass partition? No good, no good, it disrupts the feng shui."

Lin Jiahui boasted, "Dad, just wait a couple of days, after I move in here, we can just take it down."

Lin Guohao laughed, "That’s also true."

Lin Yingying and Long Fei stood up, scolding them sharply, "Uncle, who let you in?"

Lin Guohao looked at her with a smug expression, "Yingying, don’t be angry! Uncle knows you’re upset, but I’m just looking out for the Lin Family’s best interests. The Lin Family’s business should ultimately be managed by the Lin men. As a girl, receiving dividends each year and traveling the world, enjoying life, wouldn’t that be wonderful? Why bother fighting over power and profit in the company and ending up unhappy!"

Lin Yingying pointed to the door and said, "Uncle, I’m still the president! If you don’t leave now, I’m going to call security!"

"Alright, alright, we’ll leave!"

Lin Guohao smirked coldly, exiting the room with his back erect, basking in his own pride.

He came on purpose to provoke Lin Yingying, to flaunt himself before her.

Without Chu Feng, he would never have had such an opportunity to hold his head so high in his life.

The 10% shareholding had completely turned the tables.

According to their plan, they would first take over the HR Director and the President’s position, then take advantage of the momentum to capture the Chairman’s position.

Then, it would be his and his son’s words that carried weight within the company.

Lin Jiahui’s neck could not have been prouder, he pointed his middle finger at Long Fei, following Lin Guohao out the door.

Long Fei said coldly, "These two really need to be taught a lesson."

Lin Yingying said, "Let them be smug for now, we’ll give them a good slap in the face at the meeting later!"

Long Fei didn’t say anything more; he hadn’t decided yet whether to support Lin Yingying.

He just intended to wait for the meeting, to act according to the situation.

After all, the one he would face was Chu Feng.

By ’teaching a lesson’, he meant he really wanted to give the father and son a good thrashing.

After their prideful strut through the president’s office, Lin Guohao and his son didn’t stop there; they went downstairs and made a circuit of the various departments.

The feeling was like a dog marking its territory with a spray of urine wherever it went, declaring its dominance to the other dogs.

A little after ten, Lin Yingying sat down in the office with Long Fei.

The shareholders began to arrive, including Chu Feng.

Upon seeing Long Fei, Chu Feng’s brows slightly raised.

It had been a long time since the two had drunk together; these days, he was too busy scheming over the company to find the time.

Lin Guohao and his son were the last to enter, and upon seeing Long Fei, their brows immediately furrowed.

"Yingying, what is this about? How can an outsider be present at the shareholders’ meeting?" Lin Guohao demanded as he stared at Long Fei with displeasure.

Lin Yingying said calmly, "Deputy Director Lin, please sit down and we can discuss. In a moment, you’ll understand whether he is an outsider or not!"

Lin Guohao took a deep breath and sat down coldly.

The meeting was chaired by Lin Yingying’s assistant, Su Qi, and the topic of discussion was still the appointment of the HR Director.

It was the third time, and Lin Yingying only had three opportunities to use her veto power.

This time, she would veto again.

The outcome of the next discussion would be decided by a board vote.

As soon as Su Qi finished speaking, Lin Guohao began to jump up and down, "What’s there to discuss? It’s a done deal; we’re wasting everyone’s time every day. Shareholders in favor of Chu Feng as HR Director, please raise your hands for a vote!"

The shareholders looked at each other, about to raise their hands.

Lin Yingying cleared her throat and introduced to everyone, "Before you raise your hands, let me introduce someone to you all. There’s no need to mention Chu Feng, as everyone is already aware of his identity from the last meeting. Initially, Grandfather split 20% of the shares, with the Chu Family getting 10%. The other 10% belongs to this gentleman sitting next to me, Mr. Long Fei. Let’s welcome him."

Her announcement was like a bolt from the blue, leaving all the shareholders momentarily stunned.

Lin Yingying clapped her hands, and those who reacted quickly started clapping along.

Those who knew Long Fei stared at him intently, scrutinizing him without stop.

Just a few days ago, it seemed like he was still working as a security guard at the entrance.

How had things changed so suddenly, turning him into an antique? And to top it off, he now held 10% of the company’s shares as a major shareholder.

Long Fei nodded and gestured to everyone.

He and Chu Feng locked eyes, and Chu Feng clapped his hands with a smile, his thoughts unclear.

Lin Guohao and Lin Jiahui collapsed on the spot, yelling at Lin Yingying, "Director Lin, this is a board meeting, not a place for your jokes. He’s a shareholder? What evidence do you have?"

Lin Guohao’s allies joined in the clamor, "Yes, Director Lin, you can’t just say things without proof—you need to present evidence!"

Lin Yingying calmly asked Su Qi to take the share ownership contract and pass it around to the other shareholders for inspection.

There, in black and white and bearing the official seal of Lin’s Group and the personal signature of Lin Shirong, was the contract.

This contract was identical to the one owned by Chu Feng.

After examining it several times, the shareholders finally cast away their doubts.

The situation in the room had turned on its head.

Lin Yingying’s 20% share, combined with this 10%, plus Elder Master Lin’s 5%, now accounted for an absolute majority of the shares.

Lin Guohao and Chu Feng together only accounted for about 30%.

The shareholders all had their own scales in their hearts when choosing sides.

Lin Guohao’s face reddened, his eyes fixed on Long Fei as if wanting to kill him.

It was unclear where he had come from. His sudden appearance had shattered Lin Guohao’s dreams.

Lin Yingying stated calmly, "Alright, now is the time to cast our votes. Regarding the position of HR Director, I still decide to nominate Geng Zhong. Those in favor, please raise your hands."

She was the first to raise her hand, and the shareholders who supported her immediately followed suit, all of them breathing a sigh of relief.

Those who were indecisive now saw Lin Yingying having the upper hand and followed in support of her.

In the room, Chu Feng and Lin Guohao’s faction held half.

The half that supported Lin Yingying.

The crucial vote rested in Long Fei’s hands.

Whichever side Long Fei supported would claim victory.

He looked at Chu Feng, struggling, not expecting the situation to turn out like this.

Lin Yingying nudged him with her foot, aware of his relationship with Chu Feng and fearing he might change his mind at the last moment.

Otherwise, she’d be hugely embarrassed today.

Lin Guohao had already thoroughly investigated the relationship between Chu Feng and Long Fei.

He glared at Long Fei and shouted, "Long Fei, you and Chu Feng are good brothers. Think carefully about whom you’re helping. Women come and go, but you only have one brother. I don’t think you’d be someone who values women over loyalty, right?"

Lin Guohao had put Long Fei in a real predicament.

The other shareholders began to make noise, "Yes, a man has to be loyal!"

"Abandoning a brother for a woman, that would be laughable to everyone!"

"Mr. Long Fei, you really need to think this through carefully!"

They used public opinion in their last stand.

Lin Yingying frowned deeply and said outright, "Shut up, all of you. Grandfather has already arranged our betrothal. He is my fiancé, what’s wrong with him supporting me?"

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting such a development.

Lin Guohao knew about this but retorted, "Yingying, what you’re saying isn’t right. That betrothal has no legal effect; Brother Long Fei doesn’t necessarily have to be responsible for you."

"You..."

Lin Yingying’s face fell cold, and she was left speechless by his rebuttal, waiting for Long Fei to make a decision.

Lin Guohao was right; they were not married yet.

Even if they were married, Long Fei still had his own choices to make.

This was probably the hardest decision Long Fei had ever faced.

He looked at Chu Feng, then at Lin Yingying. He made up his mind to abstain from voting, choosing neither side.

He couldn’t let down his brother, nor could he offend the woman.

Before he could voice this decision, unexpectedly, Chu Feng suddenly stood up, facing Long Fei with a light smile, "Little brother Long, don’t feel pressured. I support Director Lin’s decision and agree with the appointment of Geng Zhong as HR Director!"
