Chapter 245: Chapter 245: The True Face of Qin Xi
Qin Xi looked at Chen Hongying with a smug expression on his face.
"Ah Ying, now that the company has become like this, it’s time for you to step down!"
Qin Xi feigned comfort, but really he was provoking her.
"Qin Xi, what exactly do you mean?"
Chen Hongying, with a face full of anger, pointed at Qin Xi and said.
"You better not forget who brought you into this company. How can you treat me this way? You’re being ungrateful!"
"I’m being ungrateful?"
Qin Xi laughed dismissively.
"You have the nerve to talk to me about loyalty? I’ve done so much for you, solved your problems—don’t you have any sense of gratitude? I merely asked to borrow a little money, and you wouldn’t agree."
"And you still have the face to talk about loyalty in front of me? Ridiculous! You’re a businessperson yourself; don’t you put your own interests first? What I’m doing now is simply reclaiming what belongs to me. How is that wrong?"
Shen Zhigang and the others all nodded repeatedly. These people cared only about money and nothing else mattered to them.
Wang Hao could see that today this group of men had come to force a palace coup, intent on pulling Chen Hongying down from her position as the company’s general manager.
"Hmph, I, Chen Hongying, hold forty percent of the company’s shares. I am the largest shareholder, and I have the right to veto any decision you make!"
Chen Hongying snorted coldly, she wasn’t one to be trifled with.
"Forty percent makes you the largest shareholder? Then what about the sixty percent of shareholders?"
Qin Xi suddenly sneered.
"What do you mean by that?"
Chen Hongying’s face suddenly changed.
"You don’t understand what I mean? Now, except for you, all the other shareholders have asked me to act as their proxy."
Qin Xi paused and then continued.
"In other words, I now control sixty percent of the company’s shares, making me the largest shareholder and the actual controller. I even have the right to veto anything you say, any decision you make!"
As a renowned lawyer, Qin Xi had the upper hand in legal matters over Chen Hongying.
She only hated herself for being blind enough to bring Qin Xi, this ingrate, into the company and to have treated him with such kindness and devotion, only to be bitten in return.
"Chen Hongying, do you have anything else to say? Sign the papers quickly and give up the position of general manager, and spare us the trouble of taking this to court, because you’re no match for us!"
Qin Xi’s speech became increasingly arrogant, showing no regard for Chen Hongying’s feelings or their past relationship.
Chen Hongying was powerless to refute.
In the realm of legal knowledge, she no doubt fell short of Qin Xi. If it were to come to a legal battle, she would certainly lose badly.
But she was extremely reluctant. After all the benefits she had worked so hard to bring to them, how could they have the heart to treat her this way?
"Well done, so good at kicking someone when they’re down!"
Wang Hao suddenly began to clap.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but admire Qin Xi’s tactics.
Obviously, Qin Xi had double intentions from the start of his dealings with Chen Hongying. Otherwise, how could he have persuaded so many shareholders to willingly let him act as their proxy in such a short time?
Wang Hao also felt sympathy for Chen Hongying, who had been keeping such a beast by her side all these years, not to mention a pack of insatiable dogs; it was truly sad.
"Wang Hao, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Zhigang asked irritably.
"Over the years, Chen Hongying has been working hard to earn you all so many dividends—don’t you have any idea of that yourself? And because of her one failure, you’re so eager to push her out."
"Moreover, this failure hasn’t even harmed your interests; I’m sure she was considering your welfare from the start."
Wang Hao said with a bitter smile.
"What else could this be called if not throwing away the millstone once the donkey has done its job?"
"We’re all businessmen, and of course, in the world of business, profits are the most important. All that talk of benevolence, righteousness, and morality is just hot air. What benefits can they bring us?"
Shen Zhigang said shamelessly.
The other shareholders nodded their heads repeatedly in agreement.
"Wang Hao, are you scared?"
Qin Xi smiled smugly.
"According to my investigation, the registered capital of your little company is only five million. Are you afraid of being acquired by a big company like ours with a registered capital of fifty million?"
Qin Xi seemed very confident, his tone full of provocation.
When Wang Hao registered his company, he wasn’t very financially loose, so he could only put up that much money.
If Wang Hao were to go and register a new company now, it would surely shock Qin Xi to the core.
"Wang Hao, I am now the manager of the largest traditional Chinese medicine company in Chicheng County, not to mention my connections in Zao City!"
Qin Xi suddenly took a more severe tone, pointing at Wang Hao and saying word by word.
"You—are—done—for!"
Qin Xi seemed very confident in defeating Wang Hao, but Wang Hao was also unclear from where his confidence stemmed.
What Wang Hao didn’t know was that Qin Xi had secretly promised these shareholders that he could leverage his connections in Zao City to tap into Zao City’s funds.
Moreover, the perks Qin Xi offered were quite generous. In just one year, these shareholders didn’t need to do anything, and each person could net a tidy sum ranging from hundreds of thousands to over a million in dividends.
That’s why these shareholders were so supportive of Qin Xi. freewebnoveℓ.com
Seeing that Wang Hao remained silent, the shareholders started to gang up on him alongside Qin Xi.
"Wang Hao, we extended an olive branch to you, and you didn’t know how to appreciate it. You can’t blame us for being heartless now!"
"Exactly, weren’t you acting all high and mighty before? A tiny company with just five million in capital dares to confront us, utterly overestimating yourself!"

The shareholders one-upped each other, belittling Wang Hao as good for nothing. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Everyone, do you even use your brains?"
Wang Hao said with a bitter smile.
"You all should be very clear about how Qin Xi treated Chen Hongying in the past, and you saw how he treated her today. Do you really naively believe that he would help you make money that easily?"
"He’s just your hired general manager for now. When he messes up the operations and something goes wrong, he will just brush off his pants and leave. Won’t you be the ones in trouble then?"
As soon as Wang Hao said this, the office fell instantly silent.
What Wang Hao said made sense. Embezzling funds was risky, and if the issue escalated, it could lead to jail time.
Now, everyone started to have doubts.
Chen Hongying had raised Qin Xi up with her own hands, and now he was willing to dispose of her at a moment’s notice. If something were to happen in the future, wouldn’t Qin Xi run even faster than a rabbit?
"Don’t forget what I’ve told you all before. My relationship with the Wen Family of Zao City is not shallow!"
Qin Xi said with a smirk.
With that remark, the eyes of the shareholders lit up in an instant, and they started to firm up their support for Qin Xi again.
The Wen Family of Zao City?
Wang Hao couldn’t help but take another look at Qin Xi, wondering how Wen Yonglin could have formed an association with someone as despicable as Qin Xi.
Someone as astute as Old Wen wouldn’t make such a foolish mistake!
Wang Hao couldn’t help shaking his head...
