Xiao Teng looked up at Xiao Zhengfang, "Dad, why is Second Uncle holding a shareholder eting at this ti?"
Xiao Zhengfang frowned, "I don't know either... I've been to your Second Uncle's house these past few days to find him, but he's not there.
They say he's out playing with Xiao Li."
Xiao Teng asked, "Dad, haven't you figured out why Second Uncle hasn't been to the company recently?"
Xiao Zhengfang shook his head, "I only found out that he went to the hospital for a check-up, but as for his results in the hospital, I have no idea...
Your Second Uncle has visibly lost quite a bit of weight recently...
A couple of days ago, I probed Aunt Xu for information, but I couldn't get anything out of her..."
Nowadays, hospitals protect patients' privacy well, so it's impossible for outsiders to know.
Qin Xiao could find out because that hospital is owned by their family, making it quite easy for him to access records.
Xiao Teng said, "If Second Uncle really has health issues, then we must prepare for tomorrow's shareholder eting..."
Xiao Zhengfang nodded, "Let's contact our people first and make so preparations!"
The next day, Xiao Zhennan brought Xiao Li and Huo Zhi to the top floor of Xiao Corporation.
On the top floor, besides Xiao Zhennan's chairman office, there's also Xiao Zhengfang's general manager office and Xiao Teng's deputy general manager office.
When Xiao Zhennan appeared on the top floor with Xiao Li, Xiao Zhengfang and Xiao Teng exchanged a glance, realizing their hunch was right.
Xiao Zhengfang approached and smiled, "Why's Little Li here today?"
Xiao Zhennan said indifferently, "She's grown up. It's really irresponsible for her not to visit the family company every day. We happened to be free today, so I brought her to have a look."
Xiao Zhengfang nodded, "She should indeed co to the company to take a look... And this is..."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhengfang looked towards Huo Zhi...
If Xiao Zhennan had brought Xiao Li and Qin Xiao, Xiao Zhengfang wouldn't be surprised. Xiao Li is his only daughter, and the weight of Qin Xiao as a son-in-law is self-evident.
But now, Qin Xiao didn't co; instead, he brought an unfamiliar face. Furthermore, this person doesn't seem simple, making it impossible for Xiao Zhengfang not to pay attention...
Xiao Zhennan smiled, "Oh, just a junior relative.
Everyone get back to work! We'll discuss it during the eting later..."
With that, Xiao Zhennan led Xiao Li into the chairman's office first.
After the three of them entered the office, Xiao Zhengfang also took Xiao Teng into his own office.
"A'Teng, what do you make of the person your Second Uncle brought?"
Xiao Teng thought for a mont and said, "I feel like he looks familiar, but I can't rember where I've seen him."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengfang frowned, "You've seen him?"
Xiao Teng shook his head, "No, I probably haven't. If I had, I should rember.
But I just feel he's familiar..."
Xiao Zhengfang frowned, "Let's not worry about who he is for now. Did you touch base with our people last night?
Do they know what to do at today's eting?"
Xiao Teng nodded, "Don't worry, Dad... everything's settled."
At eleven o'clock, the shareholders began to arrive one by one...
In the spacious eting room, all the major and minor shareholders had taken their seats, along with Xiao Zhengfang, Xiao Teng, and so senior company executives.
The only ones still absent were Xiao Zhennan and Xiao Li.
In the chairman's office, Xiao Zhennan's secretary, Secretary Cheng, ca to remind him, "Chairman, everyone is waiting in the eting room."
Xiao Zhennan nodded, "I know, let them wait a little longer!"
"Yes."
Secretary Cheng exited first.
As soon as Secretary Cheng left, Xiao Li picked up her phone and made a call, "The eting's about to start. Dad and I will head to the eting room in five minutes."
"Alright, understood."
Xiao Li put down her phone and looked at Xiao Zhennan, "Dad, we'll go in after a while."
Xiao Zhennan nodded...
Five minutes later, Xiao Zhennan led the way, followed closely by Xiao Li and Huo Zhi, towards the eting room.
At the door of the eting room, Xiao Li instructed Secretary Cheng, "You don't need to go in. Soone will co later, and you will need to open the door for them."
Hearing this, Secretary Cheng looked at Xiao Zhennan, who said, "Listen to Miss."
"Yes..."
The doors to the eting room opened, and the previously murmuring crowd quieted down as they saw Xiao Zhennan arrive.
Xiao Zhennan took the principal seat, Xiao Li sat directly behind him, and Huo Zhi stood directly behind Xiao Zhennan.
Among those who had been with Xiao Zhennan the longest, and was one of the earliest shareholders of Xiao Corporation, was Director Chen. Seeing Xiao Li, he smiled, "Little Li is here today as well, good... You're your father's only daughter, and you should take responsibility for company matters.
Now that you're married and have a family, it's ti to shoulder so responsibilities."
When Xiao Li got married, most of the company directors attended, so they all knew about Xiao Li's marriage.
Director Chen had worked together with Xiao Zhennan and was the most opposed to Xiao Zhengfang and his son among the directors.
He had previously advised Xiao Zhennan not to grant too much power to Xiao Zhengfang, to prevent the company staff from being unsure about who actually holds power in the company.
After hearing Director Chen's words, Xiao Li smiled and replied, "Uncle Chen, you're speaking as if I was doing nothing serious before..."
Director Chen laughed, "Leaving a big corporation like Xiao Corporation unattended and going off to study dicine, what else is that if not idle?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li shook her head helplessly...
Seeing this, Xiao Zhennan intervened to diate, "Alright, Old Chen... This is A'Li's first ti here, don't scare her away with your words."
After a few words to Director Chen, Xiao Zhennan spoke formally, "The reason I suddenly called this shareholder eting and gathered all the company's shareholders and executives is because I have so matters to discuss with everyone.
The first matter concerns the dismissal of Xiao Zhengfang from the general manager position and Xiao Teng from the deputy general manager position."
As soon as Xiao Zhennan spoke, Xiao Zhengfang imdiately stood up, followed closely by Xiao Teng...
The others were surprised as they looked at the father and son of the Xiao family.
The senior executives below began to discuss among themselves.
They never expected that such a bombshell would be dropped right at the start, suggesting the removal of the general manager and his son.
In their eyes, the Xiao father and son were already the key figures in Xiao Corporation.
How could they be dismissed so suddenly?
While everyone was discussing, Xiao Zhengfang was also digesting Xiao Zhennan's words.
Last night, he and Xiao Teng knew that Xiao Zhennan would make so moves today, but they thought he might bring Xiao Li or Qin Xiao into the company.
At that ti, they thought of uniting their allies with the excuse that Xiao Li and Qin Xiao had never been involved in company affairs to prevent them from taking high positions,
Even if they did enter the company, they would have to climb their way up from small departnts...
As long as real power wasn't in their hands, Xiao Zhengfang was confident of squeezing these two newcors out of the company.
