Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Xia Zhengguang Asks Mr. Shen for a Capital Injection

"Given the recent events at the company, some of us in management have begun to doubt whether Chairman Xia and the young Mr. Xia are capable of running the company."

Xia Zhengguang glanced at the shareholder who had spoken. He was already balding and was just a minor shareholder with only 5% of the shares.

"Fine. Let’s put it to a vote."

Outwardly, Xia Zhengguang said nothing, but inside, he was screaming hysterically.

’They say we’re incapable? Then who was it that built the Xia family’s company to its current scale?’

’Just one accidental mistake in judgment, and these people dismiss all the years of effort my son and I have put in. Easy for them to say!’

’If it’s so easy to manage, why don’t they try sitting in this seat themselves!’

’There’s a reason some people can only ever be minor shareholders.’

"All in favor of changing the leadership, raise your hands."

The shareholder who proposed it raised his own hand.

The others exchanged glances, then, one by one, more hands went up.

The expressions on Xia Zhengguang’s and Xia Zhiyun’s faces were not pleasant.

"Based on share ownership, my son and I hold a combined 51%, while the rest of you hold 49%. Therefore, this proposal is rejected."

Banking on the fact that no one knew he had sold his shares, Xia Zhengguang used his supposed stake to suppress the dozen or so people across from him.

A slight smile touched Xia Zhiyun’s lips. This outcome was exactly what he had expected.

The other shareholders’ faces fell instantly. If that was the case, then today’s board meeting was a complete waste of time.

"Hmph! If the South Suburb problem isn’t resolved, I’m definitely pulling my investment!"

All this fuss, and nothing was accomplished. This board meeting had been pointless.

The problem had dragged on for so long that many of the board members were already planning their exit strategies.

’The only question is whether I can even sell off the shares I’m holding.’

As he watched the shareholders leave the meeting room one by one, Xia Zhengguang’s expression gradually turned grave.

"Dad, you said you’d handle the money issue. Do you have a plan?"

Xia Zhiyun hadn’t had a chance to speak during the meeting, but he had listened carefully to everything.

"You don’t need to worry about it. I have my own way."

He couldn’t mention selling the shares, and of course, no one could know about Mr. Shen’s existence.

Besides, Xia Zhengguang didn’t know if he would succeed. He could only hope he could persuade Mr. Shen to inject capital into the Xia family’s company.

Poor Xia Zhengguang. To this day, he hadn’t realized that the so-called Mr. Shen was just a smokescreen thrown up by Lu Yunque.

"Dad, please don’t do anything foolish."

Xia Zhiyun had a nagging feeling that his father was hiding something from him, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t figure out what it could be.

"Alright, don’t overthink it. The meeting’s over. Go take care of your own business."

Xia Zhengguang sent Xia Zhiyun away and returned to his office.

He took out his phone, found Mr. Shen’s number in his contacts, and made the call.

It wasn’t long before someone picked up.

"Hello! Mr. Shen?"

"Chairman Xia, what can I do for you at this hour?"

Mr. Shen was already in Country D, but he hadn’t left his phone behind; he’d brought it with him.

When he contacted Xia Zhengguang, he always used his real information.

After all, for something as important as selling shares, Xia Zhengguang was sure to have done his due diligence.

In any case, all his communications from beginning to end had been genuine; he had just turned around and sold the shares afterward.

Even if Xia Zhengguang eventually figured it out, there was nothing he could do about it.

’You were the one who wanted to sell the shares. The money was paid, the contract was signed. The deal is done.’

This was why Mr. Shen wasn’t afraid to take Xia Zhengguang’s call at all.

"Mr. Shen, I know this call is sudden and perhaps a bit presumptuous."
