Chapter 319 - Chapter 319 Chapter 318 She Became the Chairman

Chapter 319: Chapter 318: She Became the Chairman Chapter 319: Chapter 318: She Became the Chairman However, even if Old Madam Ming gave her shares to Ming Yao, Ming Yao would only have forty percent.

Exactly as much as Shen Chunlin’s shares.

Over the years, Shen Chunlin has already established his own network within Ming’s, nobody would support Ming Yao!

“Old Madam, the senior management and shareholders have already voted, and my dad is the new Chairman!” Ming Wan said proudly.

Old Madam Ming’s face turned ashen with rage, “My absence invalidates any votes for him!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chunlin’s face showed displeasure, “Old Madam, according to the bylaws of Ming Corporation, as long as I hold as many shares as you do, and the majority of the senior shareholders support me, I am the new Chairman!”

Vice President Liu nodded, “Yes, Old Madam, even though you are no longer the Chairman, you will still receive your share of the dividends!”

“You are advanced in years, you should retire and enjoy your peace!”

Many people started to mock.

Ming Yao sneered, “Who said your shares are equal to my grandmother’s?”

Shen Chunlin frowned, “Old Madam, perhaps you are not aware, but your son Ming Guoan has already transferred all of his shares to me.”

“These past years at Ming Corporation, he might have been the President in name, but many decisions were made by me on his behalf, he doesn’t have the capability to manage the corporation at all!”

Vice President Liu chimed in, “Indeed, I can attest to that. If it were not for Chairman Shen, Ming Corporation wouldn’t be where it is today!”

Ming Yao gave a signal to the lawyer behind him. The lawyer stepped forward with a document, “Assistant Shen, the shareholder transfer agreement signed by Ming Guoan that you are talking about is invalid. He did indeed transfer his shares, but not to you, to Miss Ming.”

Shen Chunlin took the paper from the lawyer, and his brows twitched.

“Impossible!”

Shen Chunlin immediately called his assistant to bring over the stock transfer agreement signed by Ming Guoan.

The assistant quickly brought over the agreement.

After seeing the contents of the agreement clearly, Shen Chunlin was completely dumbfounded.

Because the original stock transfer agreement was supposed to have been signed by Ming Guoan under the supervision of Jiang Biyun, he thought there would be no problems.

It seemed that someone had switched them.

“Furthermore, Old Madam Ming has already transferred her shares to Miss Ming. Forty percent plus twenty percent, and with the ten percent that Ming Yao holds, Miss Ming now has seventy percent of the shares in her hands!”

“She is the largest shareholder of Ming Corporation, and even if you own twenty percent of the shares, in front of Miss Ming, you are just a minor shareholder!”

“According to the bylaws of Ming Corporation, with over 50% of the shares, one can directly assume the position of Chairman!”

As soon as the lawyer finished speaking, the faces of Shen Chunlin and Ming Wan changed drastically.

“Impossible, how could Ming Guoan possibly transfer all the shares to Ming Yao, it must be her scheme–”

Ming Wan hadn’t finished speaking when she was fiercely slapped by Old Madam Ming.

Old Madam Ming had never liked Ming Wan, not to mention that Ming Wan was not her biological granddaughter now.

The thought of Ming Yao having lived in the countryside while Ming Wan lived a carefree life in their family’s comfort made her heart ache.

And now at this time, Ming Wan still dared to be arrogant in front of her precious Ming Yao; what gave her the right?

Ming Wan was stunned by Old Madam Ming’s slap.

She covered her burning cheek, looking incredulously at Old Madam Ming.

“You, you hit me?”

“What do you have to be so arrogant in front of my Ming Yao?”

Ming Wan’s tears blurred her vision as she looked towards Old Madam Ming; her lips quivered slightly, and for a long time, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Shen Chunlin snapped back from his shock. He glanced at Ming Yao and sneered, “Old Madam Ming, Ming Yao is just a greenhorn without any experience. If you hand the company over to her, wouldn’t that be making a joke of the other shareholders’ interests?”

Vice President Liu nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, we will absolutely not agree to Ming Yao becoming the new Chairman!”

“Ming Corporation has plenty of capable people, so no matter what, it shouldn’t be her turn!”

Ming Yao extended her hand and took a data sheet from Zhong Ling. She tossed it at Shen Chunlin.

“Ever since my grandmother fell ill and handed over the management of the company to Ming Guoan, the company has continually been in deficit. Shen Chunlin, didn’t you claim to be very capable? How come the company is still in deficit? You say I am incompetent, but take a look at Autumn Water Studio’s sales situation from last quarter after I took over!”

Immediately after Ming Yao spoke, a shareholder who had previously derided Shen Chunlin stood up, “My daughter works as a designer at Autumn Water Studio, and she said that Miss Ming has very strong management skills. Since she holds the majority of Ming Corporation’s shares, I don’t see any grounds for questioning. She should be the new Chairman!”

“I disagree–” Ming Wan’s voice was sharp.

Ming Yao sneered, “Jing Hang, drag this irrelevant person out of Ming Corporation!”

“Ming Yao–” Ming Wan hadn’t finished speaking before she was already being pulled out by Jing Hang.

Shen Chunlin’s face turned green with anger.

Ming Yao looked expressionlessly at Shen Chunlin, “Assistant Shen, you’ve been nurturing your daughter by Ming Guoan’s side all these years and managed to deceive your way to a 20% shareholding. What more could you be discontented with?”

Shen Chunlin’s hands clenched into fists. Initially buoyant and pleased with himself, he now only felt embarrassed and enraged.

Most critically, aside from Vice President Liu, no one else spoke up for him!

These fair-weather friends, opportunists!

An hour later, no matter how Shen Chunlin tried to save the situation, he still couldn’t destabilize Ming Yao’s position as Chairman.

Shen Chunlin left the meeting room fuming with rage.

Vice President Liu followed after him.

“Director Shen, don’t be disheartened. After all, you still own twenty percent of the shares. If Ming Yao proves incompetent, we have ways to drive her out of the company!”

“Besides, don’t you still have several major projects in your hands? Even if Ming Yao becomes Chairman, without actual power, she won’t make any significant impact!”

Shen Chunlin spoke with a sullen expression, “I want you to find a way to get her out of Ming Corporation as soon as possible!”

“Director Shen, rest assured, I am on your side and will do my utmost to help you!”

After the shareholders’ meeting concluded, Ming Yao went to the Chairman’s office.

Old Madam Ming briefed Ming Yao about the relationship network within Ming Corporation.

“These past few years, as grandma has not been in good health, all company matters have been managed by Ming Guoan.” Old Madam Ming held a data sheet, “This is the information on all the top-level executives and shareholders of Ming Corporation. Take a close look, and eliminate anyone who is an agent of Shen Chunlin as soon as possible!”

Ming Yao nodded, “Grandma, just focus on getting better. You don’t have to worry about the company!”

Ming Yao asked driver Uncle Wang to take Old Madam Ming home, then she called Jing Hang in.

“How is the investigation into Shen Chunlin that I asked you to conduct last time?”

“Shen Chunlin is a sly fox. Ever since his affair with Jiang Biyun came to light, he’s become very secretive in his actions.”

Ming Yao thoughtfully nodded, “I will follow up on Shen Chunlin. Help me investigate that Vice President Liu.”
