Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 468

Before the general shareholder's meeting, Qin family incited several board members to come forward a proposal for the re-election of chairman. The proposal would be discussed in the board meeting. If it was approved, the board of directors would select the new chairman.

With the support of the Qin family, Alice smiled confidently as if he had already taken over the position of chairman.

Essie was very calm, and her face was like a mask, which covered up all her emotions, leaving only a very official smile on her face.

Just as the opening of the contest was about to begin, a handsome man with two assistants walked in. He looked in his late 20s and was young, just like a stage light, attracting the attention of all shareholders.

He went straight to the chairman seat and sat down, which surprised everyone.

"Let me introduce. This is Mr. Gu, chairman and chief executive of American BBD company. Now, Mr. Gu holds twenty percent of the shares of Hengyuan Co., Ltd. Since he is a big shareholder, he should sit on the seats of chairman," his assistant said.

Essie was shocked. Was he the mysterious man who had been secretly buying the stock of Hengyuan Co., Ltd?

It was hard to imagine what was on his mind. Those who would was well verse of the stock and speculation was difficult to see through.

She suddenly felt a little panicked. 20% of shares, exceeded all the directors present, and was the second largest shareholder after her.

Alice not only gained the support of Bles, but also the support of several other directors. If he supported Alice, she would probably lose her position as the chairman.

She turned around and glanced at Alice, surprised as well. It seemed that she didn't know the CEO at all.

However, she didn't feel relieved about it. Would this mysterious figure be the enemy coveting the Xu group? If so, it was not reasonable for him to expose himself now? If not, why did he show up? Did he just stand here and watch?

She racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out. It would be great if Zac was there. He was the king of Nine Tailed Fox and he must have some clue.

She lowered her head and sighed. Every time she was in trouble, she would unconsciously think of Zac. Although she didn't want to admit it, he had really become her dependence and support. As long as he was there, she felt that any difficulty could be overcome, and there was no fear in her heart.

Last time, he said that he had a way to help her, but he hadn't taken any action till now. Was he perfunctory to her?

Alas, probably even he didn't expect that this mysterious big shareholder would suddenly appear.

While she was thinking, the host announced the beginning of the general shareholder's meeting.

The CEO gave a speech first, and then summarized the achievements of the last year, looking forward to the future investment plan.

The smile on Alice's face was still calm. She believed that she would be the one sitting on the position next year.

The selection proposal for the new chairman of the board would be carried out at the final part of the meeting.

Alice could not wait to stand up and said, "Mr. Baron appointed me and my sister, Cathy to manage his shares on behalf of him on the letter of authorization. That means she and I can own half of the shares respectively. I have eight percent of the shares of Hengyuan Co., Ltd. With the half of the shares, I would be the first major shareholder. So I will replace my sister and become the president of HENGFA. "

"I support Alice to be president and CEO. She was the vice president of Hengyuan Co., Ltd and the outstanding assistant of Mr. Baron. Mr. Baron also wants to let her take over the company. If she is assigned to take charge, she must be much better than the current president," Bles said slowly.

Essie looked at them with worry, and suddenly, she found that it was not as simple as she had imagined. Bles and Elizabeth had always regarded her sister as their eyesore, but now they were completely on her side.

Her sister was not alone and had a strong backup from the Qin family. Even if they wanted to drive a wedge between her and her sister and let them fight against each other, they wouldn't get the benefits.

But why did they help her?

While she was thinking, another shareholder said, "If Miss Alice has more shares than Miss Cathy, Miss Alice should be the new president of Hengyuan Co., Ltd."

Mr. Gu, who had been remaining silence, laughed. "Today is really a good day. It seems that

we can watch a good show."

Bles turned to him and deliberately asked, "Mr. Gu, now you are the second largest shareholder of Hengyuan Co., Ltd. You should also support Miss Alice, right?" It was just an excuse to find out the truth.

Mr. Gu didn't answer immediately. He picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea slowly. "I want to know what plans will be made after Miss Alice succeed her sister?"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Gu and other directors. I will bring Hengyuan to a new stage and let your stock price increase by double..." Before Alice could finish her words, Mr. Gu interrupted her. "Miss Alice, I'm asking for the details, such as the investment projects, not just such empty talk."

Alice's face turned pale. She hadn't even figured out the construction of the project yet, how could she have a specific plan. "As for the investment, I will discuss it with you directors after I take the office."
