Chapter 1766 - We Need a New Leader

Chapter 1766: We Need a New Leader

There were many other people who supported another director. Because he was outstanding as well, he had also drawn many supporters over to his side.

However, he was still no match for Tang Qingyang. Tang Qingyang was a member of the Tang family and the second major shareholder. Even Tang Bingjiang supported him.

Tang Qingyang was his nephew, so he definitely wouldn’t support an outsider. As a result, Tang Qingyang already won when it came to shares.

However, it didn’t mean that he could become the chairman just by having the most shares. If he wasn’t qualified for the position, he could easily become a puppet.

Luckily, Tang Qingyang wasn’t a man of no ability.

Everyone guessed that Tang Qingyang called the director’s meeting because of what had happened to Tang Bingsen, but nobody was sure about it, because they only knew that Tang Bingsen’s condition wasn’t very serious. Therefore, they thought it also might be about work. After all, they were going to have a director’s meeting for a new project soon.

When every director was present, Tang Qingyang came, followed by his secretary and Ba Tianyang.

Ba Tianyang had the document in his hands in case any accidents happened. Ba Tianyang was very strong. Even though anyone dared to do anything, the document would be safe.

“Good morning, everyone. I think you must be guessing about the purpose of today’s meeting, and you might have already found your answers,” said Tang Qingyang. Once he said that, the directors were sure that it must be about Tang Bingsen.

“Just like a country can’t survive without a king, a company can’t survive without a leader. Although I’ve been the acting executive these days, I don’t have the power to make decisions on many things. Unfortunately, the chairman is sick in bed and isn’t able to manage the company, so we have decided to select a new leader,” said Tang Qingyang.

Hearing that, everyone began to discuss it.

“Oh, who does the chairman want to select to be the new leader?”

“We of course need to vote to make the decision.”

“…”

None of them knew that Tang Bingsen’s shares were already under Tang Qingyang’s name now, and they believed that it was only the primary stage of the selection.

Tang Qingyang raised his hand, and Ba Tianyang gave the document to him. Tang Qingyang took it and said, “There is no need to vote, because the chairman has already transferred all of his shares to me. Therefore, as of today, I’m the new leader of the Tang Organization.”

Knowing that, every director was shocked, especially the one, who planned to compete for the seat, and his supporters.

“What?”

“Impossible.”

“Tang Qingyang, tell us, did you force the chairman to sign the contract?” The director who planned to compete for the seat unkindly criticized him, as if Tang Qingyang had done something terrible.

This director was the forth major shareholder. His name was Wu Jinfeng, and he was nearly 50 this year. His ambition was well known to every other member of the board of directors.

Being questioned, Tang Qingyang wasn’t mad at all, because it was the truth, but he would never admit it. Instead, Tang Qingyang calmly stared at Wu Jinfeng, and asked him, “Director Wu, do you think I have the ability to force the chairman to sign the contract?”

Hearing that, everyone thought it was impossible, because they knew Tang Bingsen very well. However, it was also hard for them to believe that Tang Bingsen would transfer all his shares to Tang Qingyang of his own accord.

Tang Qingyang was aware of that, so he continued, “What the Tang family has suffered recently isn’t a secret, and its sole hire, Tang Yaxin, now has a seriously damaged brain. She can’t inherit the Tang Organization. What’s worse, the chairman is in a more serious condition now, and the doctor told us to be mentally-prepared for the worst result. I bet you must know that someone has taken revenge on the Tang family, which caused the tragedy today. Accordingly, the chairman must give his seat another person, or the Tang Organization will suffer more. As a member of the Tang family, the chairman’s biological nephew, and the second major shareholder of the Tang Organization, I’m the best choice.”

Everyone nodded and agreed with Tang Qingyang on that.

“Right, someone has taken revenge on the Tang family, so it’s almost ruined now. If the Tang family is still managed by the chairman, nobody knows what will happen.”

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with the chairman transferring all his shares to Tang Qingyang. Just as he said, he’s a member of the Tang family, the chairman’s biological nephew, the second major shareholder of the Tang Organization. He’s indeed the best choice. We can’t leave the Tang Organization to an outsider after all!”

Saying that, the director gave Wu Jinfeng a glance on purpose, implying something.

Wu Jinfeng was angry, but didn’t know what to say at this moment, because what Tang Qingyang said was right.

Given the Tang family’s current condition, it was their only option to let Tang Qingyang be the new leader of the Tang Organization. No matter how much Tang Bingsen hated Tang Qingyang, he was a member of the Tang family and he had abilities. If he could take over the Tang Organization, it could keep its name.

“If you still have any doubt, we can watch a video,” said Tang Qingyang and his secretary played the video at once. It was the video of Tang Bingsen signing the contract.

In the video, no one could see whether Tang Bingsen was forced, because he only looked very sick.

Actually, at that time, Tang Bingsen was too scared to show any emotions. Therefore, even though Wu Jinfeng was unwilling to accept the result, he could do nothing about it. It was already done, and he might lose his shares if he opposed it.

Anyway, Tang Qingyang successfully became the new chairman of the Tang Organization with 66% of the shares.

Afterwards, they went to prepare for a news conference.

Before it was held, the information was released, so all the staff in the Tang Organization learned that Tang Qingyang was their new chairman now.

Although Tang Qingyang was the new chairman of the Tang Organization, it didn’t mean he was safe. On the contrary, he was in a more dangerous situation.

It wasn’t certain that someone was going to frame him, but it was possible, so Ba Tianyang’s work wasn’t done yet, and he had to continue to stay by his side for the time being.

…

Gu Ning told Shangguan Yang that she would arrive at the siheyuan around 12:30 pm, which was time for lunch, so Shangguan Yang went back home at 11 am.

At this time, all the old men also went home for lunch, and wouldn’t go outside in the afternoon because it would be too hot. They would just have a walk after dinner.

Shangguan Yang did the same things these days. He also exchanged his phone numbers with several close old men, and they could call each other when they went outside for a walk.

They lived nearby, and this area belonged to the city center, so since they could afford a house here, they had to be very rich too.
