Zhao Diao exerted himself to push his wheelchair a few tis, mustering all his strength to speak loudly:
"My shares can also be transferred to so extent to Chairman Gao."
Upon hearing this, the board mbers were once again taken aback.
These were all corporate elites who, combining Chairman Gao's confident deanor, imdiately realized this was a well-conspired coup.
"Since Chairman Gao has the majority of shares, shouldn't President Ouyang step down and yield the position?"
Zhao Diao asked with a smile, looking at Lin Hai with a mixture of showing off and scorn, his face bearing an "I'm waiting to see your drama unfold" expression.
Lin Hai's expression remained unchanged, like an unsheathed sharp blade standing behind the president, eyes fixed straight ahead.
"I object. President Ouyang has dedicated himself to the company for all these years, salvaging the company from the brink of bankruptcy to beco a leader in Huadu, if not for rits, then for his hard work. Who else could do better than President Ouyang?" Chairman Zhang stood up and spoke again.
"The one with the highest shareholding has the executive power, that was the rule we set from the start."
Ouyang Xiaoya suddenly stood up, her cool gaze quieting the entire conference room.
Even among the board mbers, her long-term high status had long since accrued authority.
Even Gao Dashang couldn't help but hold his breath, instinctively listening to what President Ouyang had to say.
"Chairman Gao, if you want to sit in the president's seat, we can raise hands and vote on it," Ouyang Xiaoya said coldly.
"No problem."
Thirteen board mbers, besides Ouyang Xiaoya and Gao Dashang, left eleven others. He controlled five, plus Zhao Diao made six; a six-to-five majority. With one more swing vote, they could completely overwhelm President Ouyang.
Gao Dashang smiled with confidence.
"Alright, then, those in favor of being president, please raise your hands," Ouyang Xiaoya did not hesitate, showing the boldness of a powerful woman, without dragging her feet.
"Hold on!"
"Chairman Gao, what else do you wish to say?" Ouyang Xiaoya eyes flashed a cold light.
"Instead of voting by raising hands, how about we start with those who agree to make president?"
Ouyang Xiaoya took a deep breath, decisively waved her hand with magnanimity, and said, "That works!"
"Begin raising hands, giving everyone five minutes to consider."
"I think one minute is enough," Gao Dashang smirked arrogantly.
Zhao Diao was even more ostentatious, laboriously lifting his plaster-casted arm, so slow it was obvious he was doing it on purpose.
Two minutes passed, and Zhao Diao's arm still hadn't fully raised—clearly slowing down intentionally, bit by bit.
Gao Dashang waited for the other five board mbers, controlled by the Divine Desire Potion, to raise their hands.
Three minutes later, Gao Dashang beca puzzled; why hadn't the five puppets raised their hands yet?
After four minutes, Gao Dashang grew anxious, promptly raising his voice, "Those who agree with being president, raise your hands."
"Chairman Gao, please watch your volu," Ouyang Xiaoya said calmly.
A sinister look flashed across Gao Dashang's face, damn it, five minutes were almost up, why haven't these five puppets raised their hands yet?
Zhao Diao hurriedly raised his hand, no longer pretending.
However, the five board mbers still did not raise their hands.
The other five board mbers looked at each other, shook their heads, and likewise, did not raise their hands.
"Five minutes are up!"
"Chairman Gao receives, one vote."
Ouyang Xiaoya announced clearly.
Gao Dashang's face instantly turned as disgusting as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
Zhao Diao was stunned, sothing was wrong!
Lin Hai interjected, "It's President Ouyang's turn now. Those in favor of President Ouyang continuing to hold her position, please raise your hand."
In a flash, the five directors controlled by the Divine Desire Potion, upon hearing Lin Hai's voice, reacted as if a computer had received a command.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
All five directors raised their arms high simultaneously.
"Nani?!" Gao Dashang almost bit his own tongue in shock, staring intently at the scene.
Zhao Diao rubbed his eyes vigorously with his one good arm—it wasn't going according to the plan!
The other five directors also raised their hands.
Ten votes to one.
Gao Dashang was perfectly and ruthlessly KO'd.
"Hmph, President Ouyang, well played." Gao Dashang gave a thumbs up, his face as dark as could be.
"The human heart is unpredictable, Chairman Gao." Ouyang Xiaoya responded without showing weakness, her words carrying profound significance.
"However, voting is only one part—shareholding is still the most important. President Ouyang, you may have people's hearts, but I have the money!"
Gao Dashang knew that the vote was only a minor factor.
What really mattered was the shareholding, which would hold up even in a court of law.
"Right, shareholding is the most important. President Ouyang, how many shares do you own? Can you compare with Chairman Gao?" Zhao Diao eagerly shouted out, like a gambler who had lost badly and was desperate to turn the tables imdiately.
"Oh, shares? Chairman Gao, how much do you think you own?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked coldly.
"I have at least around thirty percent of the shares," Gao Dashang said proudly.
Ouyang Xiaoya stood up nonchalantly, a trace of disdain crossing her stunning face as she snapped her fingers elegantly, "Director Lin, would you please invite Director Wang Muxin in? Let's calculate Chairman Gao's shareholding."
"No problem!"
Lin Hai stood up with a smile, and under Zhao Diao's intense glare full of hatred, he left the conference room with a smile.
"President Ouyang, there's no need for you to put on a brave front," Gao Dashang sneered.
Ouyang Xiaoya slowly settled back into her seat, her icy deanor undiminished, "Chairman Gao, we'll have soone calculate the shares soon enough, but now let's talk about your issues."
"Oh? And what would President Ouyang like to discuss?" Gao Dashang sneered, as if he had seen through the true nature of this strong and frosty woman.
"You've abused your position to embezzle company funds, exploited financial loopholes for illegal money laundering, and here are the bills—all the overdrafts you've made from the company over the years!"
As she spoke, Ouyang Xiaoya coldly tossed the bills in front of Gao Dashang.
Gao Dashang's expression was one of astonishnt; there was no evidence of his embezzlent or money laundering.
But these bills...they were clearly and unmistakably itemized!
What on earth was going on?!
Gao Dashang's pupils shrank suddenly as he took a deep breath and stared at Ouyang Xiaoya in shock.
The other directors were also stunned; Gao Dashang had dared to pull so many dark tricks behind the company's back!
"President Ouyang, to wrongfully sar soone, I could sue you for defamation!"
"That's right, show us the evidence if you've got it!" Zhao Diao also chid in, both of them desperate like two peas in a pod.
"Evidence?" Ouyang Xiaoya let out a cold laugh, "Chairman Gao, since you harbor ill-intentions and conspire with outsiders to seize the company, don't bla for crushing you completely!"
Today, Ouyang Xiaoya had been holding back her anger to the utmost, until now, when it erupted all at once—she was determined to leave no chance for Gao Dashang!
"What big words, Ouyang Xiaoya, don't push your luck. I, Gao Dashang, have never been scared off by threats. If you're capable, bring out the evidence!" Gao Dashang retorted weakly, refusing to give in.
"Evidence, heh, the evidence will be here shortly!"
"That's right, Chairman Gao, there's a problem with your shares!"
Suddenly, the conference room door burst open, and Lin Hai's familiar voice drifted in.
