Chapter 1096: Chapter 1094: Convening the Board Meeting

There was a fire alarm broadcast in the building, which many people knew about, but it hadn’t been used in a long time, so when they heard it, it didn’t attract much attention.

But one person was different. Hearing the sound of static on the broadcast, a sinister look appeared on Zeng Xiaozhang’s face. Haha, Lin Shiyan, you are courting your own doom; you can’t blame me for this.

In the CEO’s office, Lin Shiyan heard the broadcast, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

What was bound to happen has finally come…

No matter how strong she acted in front of Zeng Xiaozhang, or how calm she appeared before the employees, to say she wasn’t worried or afraid at all would be a lie.

“Two tigers, two tigers run fast, run fast, one has no ears, one has no tail, how strange, how strange…”

The tender voice of Mengmeng singing came through the broadcast.

Pff!

Hearing the sound from the loudspeaker, Zeng Xiaozhang, who was raising a cup to drink water, spat it all out.

Wasn’t a recording supposed to be played? How did it turn into a nursery rhyme, and about two tigers no less!

Lin Shiyan’s eyes widened as well. What was going on?

As soon as the loudspeaker sounded, Lin Shiyan knew Zeng Xiaozhang was definitely planning to release the ambiguous recording. After all, only the security department had the authority to use the fire alarm broadcast.

But unexpectedly, following the static, what played was “Two Tigers.” She was dumbfounded.

Zeng Xiaozhang immediately picked up the phone and dialed Lv Xiaoqian, asking, “Lv Xiaoqian, what’s going on?”

“I-I’m sorry. When I left today, I must have grabbed the wrong USB drive. It might be the one I used when applying for a kindergarten teaching job…” Lv Xiaoqian apologized.

“Damn it, quickly play the correct recording!” Zeng Xiaozhang roared into the receiver.

“Y-yes, Manager. But the USB drive might be at home. I-I’ll go get it right away…”

…

Just as Lin Shiyan sighed in relief, the phone on her desk rang urgently, startling her.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Shiyan picked up the phone, speaking calmly, “Hello?”

“President Lin, I’m sure you understand why I’m calling. Please immediately inform all the board members to convene in the meeting room!” The voice on the line was not friendly.

There were indeed people who could speak unfriendly to Lin Shiyan, like members of the company’s board of directors.

Even though Lin Shiyan held the most shares, it didn’t mean she could completely disregard the board.

If all board members decided to impeach her, it would still be a considerable problem, potentially costing her the CEO position.

The caller was Li Jiandong, a member of the Shiyan Group’s board, holding approximately eleven point seven percent of the shares, a new shareholder.

After the incident involving Lu Feng, Shiyan’s board underwent reformation, with drastic changes among the board members.

Holding eleven point seven percent of shares made Li Jiandong a significant shareholder.

After hanging up, Lin Shiyan slowly stood from the sofa, her expression remaining calm.

She had anticipated this; as the rumors escalated, it was inevitable that they would catch the board’s attention. Several small media outlets had already published some unfavorable rumors about her.

However, without solid verification, the major media were unlikely to act recklessly.

They knew the power of Shiyan; if this turned out to be a false alarm, Shiyan’s legal team would undoubtedly hold them accountable.

Therefore, a board meeting request was only a matter of time.

Other board members had already communicated, so it didn’t take long for Shiyan’s major shareholders to gather at the Shiyan Group.

“Oh my, those are Shiyan Group’s major shareholders.”

“Why are they here?”

“What for? Definitely because of the rumors. After all, as the company’s CEO, she stirred up such a scandal, the board surely can’t turn a blind eye.”

“What if the rumors are true?”

“What if? Even if Lin Shiyan isn’t forced to sell her shares, her CEO position is certainly at risk. After all, for a listed company, such negative news is the most dreaded.”

“…”

The arrival of Shiyan’s shareholders made the atmosphere at Shiyan even more tense.

Because it seemed like a major shake-up at Shiyan was on the horizon.

Since Lin Shiyan took control of the Shiyan Group, no one had been able to challenge her position.

The shareholders’ visit surely indicated they wanted an explanation from Lin Shiyan.

Even Shiyan’s employees guessed why the shareholders were there, so how could Vice President Su Ying not know? What’s more, she also had to attend this meeting.

She was becoming increasingly anxious.

However, faced with such a situation, Wang Dadong, the person involved, seemed oblivious, turning on his computer to play games as usual…

Soon, the board meeting commenced.

“President Lin, you are well aware of our purpose here; we need an explanation.” Li Jiandong, a portly middle-aged man, was the first to question.

Lin Shiyan replied indifferently, “They’re just rumors; I have nothing to explain.”

“Rumors? If they are indeed rumors, then provide evidence to prove it, because this matter has already affected the company’s reputation,” another director spoke up.

“Indeed, while no major media has reported on it yet, I suspect they’re prepared. As soon as they seize any evidence, you know what the consequences will be.”

“…”

The board members chimed in.

The opinion of a single director Lin Shiyan could ignore, but she couldn’t disregard the entire board.

“What do you want me to do?” Lin Shiyan frowned.

“The simplest solution is to immediately dismiss Wang Dadong and then issue a statement saying you have no relationship with him,” another director, Zhou Changguo, suggested.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyan’s face darkened, and she resolutely said, “I won’t dismiss him.”

“Why not? Could it be, as the rumors suggest, you are supporting him?” a sleazy-looking middle-aged man sneered.

“I told you, those are merely rumors.” Lin Shiyan reiterated.

“President Lin, at our level, there’s no need for unnecessary words, is there? Whether this is a rumor or not depends largely on your actions. Even if you did such a thing, as long as you handle it well, we won’t make it difficult for you. After all, your abilities are well recognized,” a female director stated.
