18: Chapter 18 [A Single Sentence That Silences a Group of Scoundrels]

18 -18 [A Single Sentence That Silences a Group of Scoundrels]

“Brother, I’m not just anybody, I’m the newly appointed chairman of Sea King Group.” Ye Tianchen said with a smile to the security guard.

“If you’re the new chairman of Sea King Group, then I’m the founder of Sea King Group.”

Upon hearing a sweet female voice, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but turn around.

He saw a very tall and beautiful woman wearing a pair of large black sunglasses and a gorgeous floral dress, especially the red high heels on her feet, which were full of feminine charm.

She was pulling a suitcase with her left hand and making a phone call with her right.

At that moment, the security guard standing at the door saw the tall beauty, was stunned for a moment, then with a big smile on his face, said, “Miss, you’re back.

Let me take your luggage; please come inside.”

The tall woman took off her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful face with large, lovely eyes and rosy, cherry lips, complemented by a curvaceous figure that indeed made her a beauty.

“Has my brother arrived yet?” The tall beauty glanced at Ye Tianchen with a bit of an annoyed expression and asked the security guard on duty.

“The young master hasn’t arrived yet, but he should be here soon.

Please come inside, Miss!”

“He hasn’t arrived yet?

Seriously, my brother is always rushing me, and now he is the one who’s late.

I came straight here as soon as I got off the plane.”

Seeing the tall beauty enter the building with a security guard, Ye Tianchen checked the time; it was almost the appointed time with the Qi family.

Initially, Ye Tianchen didn’t want to come to Sea King Group at all since he wasn’t interested in being any chairman.

However, his mother was right; now that he owned fifty percent of Sea King Group’s shares, becoming the genuine chairman, it would probably be bad if he didn’t even visit the company.

Unscrupulous people might empty the company, especially since a big portion of the shares used to belong to the Qi family.

When Ye Tianchen entered the Sea King Group Building, he found that the interior was indeed decorated lavishly.

It was very clean and orderly, with not a single superfluous ornament in sight.

Seeing Ye Tianchen come in, a receptionist dressed in professional attire came over with a welcoming smile and asked, “Sir, how can I assist you?”

“Oh, I’ve arranged to meet with Qi Yangguang here; we’re supposed to have a meeting in the large conference room.

Do you know where that is?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

“Hmm?

You’ve arranged a meeting with Chairman Qi?”

Obviously, the receptionist in front of him found it hard to believe Ye Tianchen’s words.

Sea King Group’s shares, seventy percent of them, were held by the Qi family, and it had always been Young Master Sun, Qi Yangguang, who managed them as the chairman of Sea King Group.

Coupled with the Qi family’s prestige in Capital City, few dared to directly call Qi Yangguang by his name, and this plainly dressed man, despite looking quite handsome, probably didn’t have an arrangement with Qi Yangguang.

He didn’t seem to be someone from the same world, so it was unbelievable.

“Yes, I think many people have already arrived; I’ll go up first!”

Just then, Ye Tianchen saw the directory inside the lobby and found out that the shareholders’ meeting was on the twenty-second floor at the top.

He headed for the elevator.

The receptionist regained her senses, wanting to say something but ended up not being able to speak, as she seemed to sense that this ordinary man was telling the truth.

All the shareholders of Sea King Group had already started to arrive.

Ye Tianchen took the elevator straight to the 22nd floor.

At the end of the hallway, there was a large door with elaborate floral wood carvings that must have been where the Sea King Group shareholders were meeting.

Upon reaching the conference room door, Ye Tianchen had yet to push it open when he heard a noisy commotion inside.

“I’m telling you, Chairman Qi, by giving fifty percent of Sea King Group’s shares to the Ye family, and letting that waste Ye Tianchen take over, are you planning to quit?”

“Everyone knows Ye Tianchen is the laughing stock of the whole Capital City.

The Qi family wanted to break off an engagement with the Ye family, and you’ve tried many ways.

You’ve even given away half of Sea King Group’s shares.

Do you actually want that waste to be our chairman?”

“I won’t agree to let a waste manage us as chairman of Sea King Group.

I won’t do it, even if you kill me.”

Seeing the other minor shareholders causing an uproar, Qi Yangguang sneered internally; he wanted them to create chaos.

With them stirring up trouble, he could find a way to unite them against Ye Tianchen, making him uncomfortable here and forcing him to exit voluntarily.

Then Sea King Group would still be in his control.

“Fellow shareholders, it is also news to me.

My father made this decision suddenly.

After cooperating with all of you for so many years, I certainly didn’t want this.

You all know Ye Tianchen is a waste and the laughing stock of Capital City.

Having such a person as our chairman would make us the joke of society, wouldn’t it?” Qi Yangguang said, pretending to be helpless.

“Yeah, what do you suggest we do?”

“Right, we’ll follow your lead.”

“We can’t have a waste becoming our chairman, no matter what.”

Qi Yangguang, seeing these minor shareholders take the bait, revealed a sly smile.

He had thought it through the previous night.

His father, in order to break the engagement with the Ye family, had no choice but to transfer fifty percent of Sea King Group’s shares.

Previously, the Qi family owned seventy percent.

After transferring fifty percent to Ye Tianchen, only twenty percent was left.

As for the remaining thirty percent, they were in the hands of these minor shareholders.

To counter Ye Tianchen, he needed to unite these shareholders.

Only by using fifty percent of the shares against Ye Tianchen’s fifty percent would they have absolute authority.

Therefore, after Qi Yangguang arrived here, he began inciting these minor shareholders against Ye Tianchen.

“Now that waste has fifty percent of the shares, and my Qi family still holds twenty percent.

You all hold the remaining thirty percent.

Only if we unite and stand up to this waste will he realize he’s in trouble and decide to step down.

Then my Qi family will buy back the fifty percent of shares from that waste, and I promise to give each of you a hefty bonus.”

“Alright, let’s do that.”

“We’ll follow your lead.

With the Qi family’s power, that waste from the Ye family is no match.”

“That waste doesn’t even understand corporate management.

Brother Qi, you’re truly the most capable.”

Some people who looked down on Ye Tianchen, some who wanted to suck up to the Qi family, were all talking about confronting Ye Tianchen.

Qi Yangguang was the happiest among them, laughing viciously to himself, thinking: Ye Tianchen, you’re nothing but trash.

Dad even told me to be careful around you, but let me see what you can do now.

You’ll obediently return the shares to me.

With a creak, Ye Tianchen pushed open the doors of the large conference room with both hands and entered with a smile.

Many people looked at him with displeasure, but Ye Tianchen wasn’t surprised by this since he had already heard Qi Yangguang inciting these people outside.

“Yo, if it isn’t Chairman Ye.

Please have a seat, Chairman Ye.

You’ve kept the other shareholders waiting quite a while!” Qi Yangguang said aloud with a deliberate laugh.

“Hmph, just a bratty kid.

I was fighting my battles in the business world probably before you were even born.”

“Showing up late on the first day of meetings, acting all high and mighty without considering your own status.”

“The Ye family has long been in decline, of course they’d try to swindle the Qi family now—such a pity.”

Ye Tianchen acted as though he hadn’t heard their comments.

He knew these people were stirred up by Qi Yangguang, and as long as he dealt with that fellow, the others wouldn’t be able to cause much of a stir.

Although he had no desire to be the Chairman of Sea King Group, he wouldn’t let people from the Qi family bully him at will.

“Everyone, please take a seat.

We can start the meeting now,” Ye Tianchen said as he took his place at the head of the table and smiled at everyone present.

“No need to start, I’m not in the mood today.

You all have fun. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

I’m out!” At that moment, a middle-aged man, probably in his forties, stood up and said.

This middle-aged man had been specifically instructed by Qi Yangguang to embarrass Ye Tianchen and make it difficult for him to remain seated.

“He Qishan, if you don’t want to attend the meeting, you may leave.

As for your six percent shareholding, I will find someone to buy it.

You’d better not come back again,” Ye Tianchen said, sipping his tea nonchalantly.

“You…

what gives you the right to buy out my six percent stake?

You don’t have that authority…” He Qishan was taken aback, not expecting Ye Tianchen to be so sharp, essentially firing him from Sea King Group, leaving the others at a loss.

“I’m the majority shareholder, I have the money.

Since you’re dissatisfied with me as the Chairman, the only thing I can do is buy your shares and expel you from Sea King Group.

You can leave now, or if you can’t afford it, you can buy my fifty percent stake and I’ll let you be the Chairman.

How about that?” Ye Tianchen said, his face expressionless.

“You…”

He Qishan was so angry that his face turned red and then white.

He thought he could embarrass Ye Tianchen with his actions and knew the implications.

Little did he realize that with just a few words, Ye Tianchen left him at sixes and sevens.

It seemed that the Capital City’s laughing stock wasn’t as simple as everyone thought.

In the end, He Qishan had no choice but to sit down, his face flushed.

After all, a six percent stake in Sea King Group was close to a billion a year—a considerable amount that nobody would dare abandon lightly.

Qi Yangguang was also infuriated, glaring at He Qishan and internally cursing this useless trash for not only failing to corner Ye Tianchen but also making a fool of himself and causing the other shareholders to hesitate to speak up easily.

“Any more comments?

No?

Then let me say a few words…”

Ye Tianchen stood up and looked at the five shareholders present before continuing, “Honestly, I don’t quite understand the development of the Group.

But I believe with your help, Sea King Group will surely thrive.

Let’s all work hard together and make money.

What’s wrong with that?

If anyone tries to be sneaky and mess with me, Ye Tianchen, I’ll just have to let them go.”

“Just now, Chairman Ye suggested to Brother He to buy your fifty percent stake, but Brother He has no such intention.

I, on behalf of the Qi family, do have that intention—to take back that fifty percent stake,” Qi Yangguang said, standing up with a sneer, staring at Ye Tianchen.

“Get lost!” Ye Tianchen said sternly.

Faced with Qi Yangguang’s pettiness, Ye Tianchen had only one word for him, which greatly angered Qi Yangguang.

No one had ever dared to say such a thing to him.
