A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 468 The Mystery Person Shows Up

Chapter 468 The Mystery Person Shows Up

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."

"You still need to discuss it which means you don't have a plan." Mr. Gu sneered, "Just now Miss Cathy has planned the blueprint for the future development of Hengyuan Co., Ltd, but you can't even say a word of substantial meaning in it. How can we rest assured?"

At the sight of this, Alice was shocked. She exchanged glances with Bles, hinting him to help her out.

Bles curled his lips and gave an official fake smile. "Mr. Gu, Miss Alice set off to conquor the

business world with Mr. Baron when she was eighteen. She personally explored the market in Australia, and it's obvious that her ability is good."

"The old Miss Alice, I know is capable. But now she is not. I've learnt that she has lost her memory and knows nothing about the business of Hengyuan Co., Ltd. She can't even make a simple project quotation bid. If we chose Miss Alice to be the president of the company. What's the difference between her and a three-year-old child?" His tone was slow but decisive.

Looking at him, she was curious, wondering whether he would take her side?

Wasn't he an enemy?

Alice was a little annoyed, "My sister majored in fashion design. She has no connection with the business of Hengyuan Co., Ltd. She also became the president, isn't she? She can learn slowly, so can I. "

Mr. Gu sneered, "Miss Cathy was appointed to do this job when Hengyuan was at a dire situation. Her unremitting efforts has brought Hengyuan Co., Ltd up to the highest level from the low valley. Our year- end bonus doubled compared with last year. But you, Miss Alice, are now planning to usurp the power and break the hard-earned harmony of Hengyuan Co., Ltd. You have fulfilled your ambition but never take the interests of our shareholders into consideration. Do you think our money and investment is for fun? When you learn it, our money will be wasted and we will lose all our money. "

When she heard this, Alice blushed. She had thought that she would definitely win, but unexpectedly this young man came out all of a sudden. "Now I'm the largest shareholder of HHengyuan Co., Ltd. I should be the president." She roared, with anger in her voice.

"Mr. Baron just designated you and your sister to be the designated representative of the shares in the letter of authorization, and he did not request to divide the shares equally. Even though you manage half of the shares on behalf of him, the total shares of Miss Cathy

and mine together will exceed all the directors present. As long as we veto it, the proposal will not be passed," Mr. Gu said slowly.

Other shareholders also joined his support when they saw Alice lost the hope of becoming the new president.

Hearing his words, Alice was on the verge of breaking down. Her eyes darkened and she almost fainted.

At this moment, Essie stood up again. It was time for her to make a statement. "I really appreciate Mr. Gu and your shareholders' support and love. I will continue Mr. Baron's decision to support his long- term stable development. Besides, I have to remind you that he will only have one acting president. There will absolutely no second ones." She said all these words specially for Alice and Bles.

At this moment, Alice slumped into the chair, like a deflated balloon, unable to utter a single word.

After the general shareholder's meeting, there was a cocktail party to entertain the directors. Essie wanted to thank Mr. Gu for his help, but he had already left and no one knew where he was now.

Such a mysterious man. Where did he come from? Why would he help her?

When she was lost in thought, the message from Zac said, "Congratulations, you keep the position of president of the board. See you in the Jade Mountain tonight. PS: you know the consequence if you break the appointment.

There was sweat on her face. If it weren't for the threat behind, she wouldn't have gone. But the demon king had seen through her. He had various ways to catch her and punish her in all kinds of ways. Did she dare to resist?

In the Jade Mountain, Zac had prepared champagne. As soon as she entered the door, he opened the champagne wood stuffed with 'bang', the transparent liquid overflowing with bubbles.

He poured two cups of it and handed one to her, "Cheers." He smiled.

She clinked her glass with his and took a sip. "You are well-informed, right? You will know as soon as the meeting is over."

"General shareholder's meeting isn't a closed one. It's normal to hear about it." Zac shrugged and said in a careless tone.

"You said you would help me, but why didn't I see you give me any substantial help?" Essie continued, pouting her lips.

When Mr. Gu appeared, she was really a little flustered and desperate. She didn't know how desperate she was in her heart to call him.

A successful woman indeed should be supported by a powerful man!

Putting down the champagne and sitting on the sofa, he rested his hands on the back of his head and said lazily, "I have already helped you." He told her lightly.

"Where will you help?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, but in fact she had no idea.

"Guess it." Taking a sip of champagne unhurriedly, Zac wanted to keep her in the dark.

She rolled her big black eyes around and then lowered. She didn't expect, really didn't.

"Do you still remember the mysterious man I told you? He is buying in the stocks of Hengyuan Co., Ltd?" "He appears today. I keep the position of president only because of his support. You have done nothing to help me."
