Chapter 1864: Lanxin Corporation Joins in the Shareholder Meeting

The weird thing was that he was the one who had initiated the meeting and had been leading it so far. The moment the conference started, he listed the wrongdoings of the Wen Corporation, just so he could make the Wen Family seem less favorable.
On the other hand, the lady who had been keeping quiet all this while, seemingly unaffected by how the Wen Family was disadvantaged in this shareholder meeting, was the one who was chairing the meeting with a calm mood. She radiated a domineering and elegant aura.
She was only twenty-over-years-old, yet she had such an aura already.
Qian Jianhui was secretly terrified.
Wen Haowen barely did anything, and even caused harm to the corporation. The shareholders were extremely unhappy with him. But he always avoided his troubles and managed to hold the position of Wen Corporation’s CEO for over twenty years.
Wen Family had Wen Zhihang, and he had been suppressed by him for half his life. He felt suffocated for many years and had been waiting for Wen Haowen to take over Wen Family so that he could use the opportunity to exploit him.
Yet, Wen Xinya suddenly appeared.
From an outsider’s point of view, Wen Xinya was indeed a talented leader. In the time that she took over Wen Corporation, everything that she did was forward-looking, and she showed depth in her thoughts. She was precise and bold. In such times, it was bound to impress the masses.
This realization made him slightly panicked.
This was also why he decided to collaborate with the cunning Li Corporation while Old Mr. Wen was stuck in the police station to take over Wen Corporation. He felt that this would be the only chance in his life.
Once Wen Xinya took over control of the Wen Corporation, he would never have another chance.
After this, not only was he suppressed by Wen Zhihang for half a year, but he also had to be suppressed by Wen Xinya for a lifetime. The day for him to shine would never come.
Qian Jianhui thought deeply.
He kept feeling as if Wen Xinya was acting weirdly, and he felt like he missed out on something.
Wen Xinya received a call on their internal line. “Miss Wen, Lanxin Corporation’s CEO is representing the eight percent of shares that they hold to participate in the shareholder’s meeting and is in the guest room now.”
Assistant Xiao Yang’s voice was crisp and clear and echoed through the entire conference room, causing a sudden commotion.
Wen Xinya ordered, “Have Deputy CEO Xue bring him to the conference room.”
This was the first thing that Wen Xinya said ever since the conference started.
Cao Zixing and the others seemed to have detected what was going on and began to calm down.
Soon, Xue Yishan brought Yan Shaoqing into the conference room.
Yan Shaoqing wore a silver mask to hide his ugly features as he stood straight. “Sorry for being late, the conference can continue now.”
Afterwards, he sat according to the arrangement of shareholders, his gaze looking towards Wen Xinya.
He was not secretive about his actions, and the shareholders that had been watching him could see Lanxin Corporation’s stand instantly.
At that moment, the people in the conference room had complicated expressions, as they assumed that Lanxin Corporation did not come for the shareholder’s meeting as they did not want to concern themselves with such a mess and did not care too much about them.
However, everything changed once Lanxin Corporation appeared for the meeting.
Although Qian Jianhui was mildly shocked, he calmed himself down quickly. “On behalf of the majority of the smaller shareholders here, I announce that the era of the Wen Family suppressing the other shareholders has ended. I shall take over and continue to bring Wen Corporation to greater heights.”
Qian Jianhui clearly did not dare to represent all of the sixty percent of shareholders excluding Wen Family, as Lanxin Corporation was clearly on the side of the Wen faction.
But so what? Lanxin Corporation only held eight percent of shares, and with Wen Family’s shares, it amounted to less than fifty percent of the total, so they would have a hard time fighting with him.
Did Wen Xinya really think that she could turn this into her victory just by having Lanxin Corporation on her side?
Hmph, they must be dreaming.
Not many people rebuked what Qian Jianhui said, and they clearly agreed with him.
Although everyone’s attitude changed as a result of Lanxin Corporation, they were not stupid. They were on the same boat as Qian Jianhui. Old Mr. Wen did not accept resistance, with a strong moral compass. If they did not push Qian Jianhui up to become the President as soon as possible, they would only face resistance.
Although Lanxin Corporation sided with the Wen faction, it was obvious that Qian Jianhui still had the advantage, and their movement to push Wen Family off the top was still relatively successful.
Then, Wen Xinya spoke, “I object Qian Jianhui’s suggestion to remove Old Mr. Wen from his post, and I also object to Qian Jianhui taking over the post.”
Her crisp voice cut as cold as an icicle, and the entire atmosphere in the conference room tensed up.
This drama was more or less finished, and she had no interest in acting with Qian Jianhui.
Sun Yichen coldly laughed. “The votes of the small shareholders together represent more than that of the large shareholder, so we can reject what you propose. You hold fewer stocks than us, so how could you reject our stand?”
Until now, Wen Xinya was still struggling for no reason, which was very laughable.
Wen Xinya ignored Sun Yichen as her cold, icy gaze landed upon Qian Jianhui.
Qian Jianhui cheekily smiled and had a warm and gentle gaze. “My niece, I know that you feel unhappy that Wen Corporation has to change hands, but you must see things for what it is and think about the smaller shareholders here. All of us are doing this for Wen Corporation’s development and future. We are all one big family, so why be so calculative?”
Qian Jianhui acted as if he was some sort of peacemaker and made Wen Xinya seem unreasonable, difficult and arrogant.
In the conference room, many shareholders shot disapproving glances at her, and everyone felt like she was just making things difficult for all the shareholders.
However, they were not wrong. Wen Xinya was indeed here today to make things difficult for them. “Chairman Qian, please forgive me if I’m being offensive, but you say that you represent the views of a majority of the small shareholders. Then, can you tell me, how many shares do all of you hold?”
Everyone felt that Wen Xinya’s question was a little strange.
Was the current situation not obvious enough?
Qian Jianhui looked at her and confidently said, “After Wen Corporation’s shares were diluted, they shrunk by a large percentage. Today, Wen Family only holds thirty-two percent of the shares, and with the shares from Wen Family’s supporters as well as Lanxin Corporation, you only hold forty-eight percent of the shares. I represent the other shareholders that hold fifty-two percent of the shares. Although Wen Family is a large shareholder, we have more shares in total, so what do you have to say?”
Qian Jianhui was extremely sure that victory was well within reach.
