Chapter 301 Biased
Ye Bufan and Chu Chu arrived at the Qin Family villa together.
Upon entering, Chu Chu choked out, "Grandpa, where's Grandpa?"
She looked around as she spoke, wanting to see Qin Dongliang one last time.
"You little wretch, you killed your Grandpa, what are you still looking for?"
Hai Yulan furiously scolded Chu Chu, banging her cane on the ground, venting her anger.
Chu Chu was stunned: "Grandma, what are you saying? When did I harm Grandpa?"
Hai Yulan shouted: "Still trying to argue? It's because you wanted to snatch the Qin Family CEO position that your Grandpa was angered to death."
"That's impossible," Chu Chu said, "When I left Grandpa, he had no problems and wasn't angry, so how can you say I angered him to death!"
Qin Guowei said: "Chu Chu, stop arguing. I was with Grandpa when he passed away, and it was clearly because of your matter that he got angry and triggered a myocardial infarction.
If you hadn't caused trouble today, Grandpa definitely wouldn't have died."
Chu Chu angrily retorted: "Qin Guowei, you're just making baseless accusations.
You were with Grandpa, why don't you say you angered him to death? I could even say you killed Grandpa!"
She had only said it casually, a mere angry remark, but unexpectedly, it hit Qin Guowei's raw nerve.
He immediately raged: "Chu Chu, dare you say that again."
"You little wretch, I'll teach you to argue."
With her Grandson and Granddaughter arguing, Hai Yulan naturally sided with Qin Guowei, raising her cane and striking towards Chu Chu's head.
The incident happened so suddenly that no one expected Old Madam to act so quickly.
Just as the cane was about to land on Chu Chu's head, a large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
It was Ye Bufan who acted; he naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Chu Chu get hit in front of him, even if the other party was Hai Yulan.
"Old Madam, you're acting before clarifying the situation, isn't that a bit too much?"
"Who are you? Since when did an outsider like you get to interfere in our Qin Family's affairs?"
Hai Yulan shouted to the bodyguards nearby, "Someone, get him out of here!"
Several bodyguards immediately rushed over upon hearing the command.
Chu Chu shouted: "Xiaofan is my boyfriend, I'd like to see who dares!"
The bodyguards looked at Old Madam, then at Chu Chu, momentarily unsure what to do.
Hai Yulan angrily said: "You're rebelling now! As long as I, this old woman, am alive, the Qin Family is mine to command."
Chu Chu also lost her temper, (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) and angrily said: "Grandma, how long are you going to keep being biased?
From childhood, you've always protected my cousin.
Whenever I had a conflict with him, it was always my fault.
Why is that?
Grandpa's death clearly has nothing to do with me, why are you pinning it on me?"
"He's my Grandson, and you're an outsider.
Is there anything wrong with me protecting my Grandson?"
Hai Yulan shouted loudly: "I'll also tell you, the CEO of the Qin Family must be Qin Guowei.
It's never going to be your turn, Chu Chu, to be in charge.
I've decided this matter."
Chu Chu said: "Grandma, even though you have the final say in the Qin Family, who becomes CEO must be decided by the board of directors.
You can't make that decision."
"Nonsense! Although Grandma isn't a board member, her old self is highly respected in Qin's Group.
As long as Grandma says something, how could anyone object?"
Qin Guowei said: "Tomorrow morning is the board meeting.
I'll be elected CEO of Qin's Group then, let's see what else you have to say."
He then said to Hai Yulan: "Grandma, Grandpa's greatest wish before he passed was for me to be the CEO of Qin's Group.
So I think we should hold the board meeting first, and then bury Grandpa, so he can rest in peace."
As the saying goes, a guilty conscience makes one anxious.
Qin Guowei was always worried about potential complications, so he didn't want to change the date of tomorrow's board meeting, wanting to solidify his position as soon as possible.
Chu Chu angrily said: "Qin Guowei, do you have any conscience? Grandpa has passed away, and instead of hurrying to arrange the funeral, you're still thinking about becoming CEO."
"You don't need to meddle in our Qin Family's affairs," Hai Yulan shouted again.
"Xiaowei is right, tomorrow's board meeting will proceed as scheduled.
Only if he becomes CEO can your Grandpa rest in peace.
If you snatch the CEO position, the Old Man won't be able to rest in peace even in death."
"You two…"
Chu Chu trembled with anger at the two of them.
Ye Bufan came over and patted her shoulder, signaling her not to be angry.
Hai Yulan then shouted: "Someone, throw this little wretch out of the Qin Family.
She's also not allowed to attend tomorrow's board meeting."
Chu Chu stubbornly said: "I am also a member of the board of directors, why shouldn't I be allowed to attend?
Not only will I attend, but I will also run for CEO."
Hai Yulan tapped her cane and said: "You're still eyeing the CEO position.
I'm making the decision on this matter, and you are not allowed to participate."
Although she was old, she wasn't muddled.
If Chu Chu really participated, it would certainly pose a threat to her Grandson.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) "You don't get to decide that.
You can't stop me from participating either."
Chu Chu said: "According to the Qin's Group board of directors regulations, the shareholders attending the meeting must control more than 80% of the shares.
Now that Grandpa has passed away, if you don't let me attend the board meeting, you won't reach that number at all.
Then the board meeting will be invalid, and his CEO position won't be secured."
What she said was true; Qin's Group indeed had such a regulation.
Although the Qin Family was not listed, it was also a joint-stock company with multiple shareholders.
Among them, Qin Dongliang controlled 20% of Qin's Group shares, Qin Dajiang controlled 10%, Qin Dahai controlled 10%, Qin Guowei controlled 10%, and Chu Chu controlled 5%.
In other words, the direct descendants of the Qin Family controlled 55% of the shares, just enough to absolutely control Qin's Group, while the other 45% were in the hands of other shareholders.
Now that Qin Dongliang was dead, deducting his 20% shares left exactly 80%.
If Chu Chu wasn't allowed to attend the meeting, the board meeting indeed couldn't be convened.
Hai Yulan said: "Isn't it just 80% of the shares? Your Grandpa isn't here, his shares will be fully inherited by Xiaowei, so that will exceed 80%."
Chu Chu said: "You can give all of the family's assets to Qin Guowei, but not the shares.
According to the board of directors' regulations, the inheritance of a shareholder's shares must be witnessed by all members.
Without my participation in the board meeting, Qin Guowei cannot inherit Grandpa's shares."
"You… what kind of ridiculous rule is this!"
Old Madam was furious, but she couldn't change the board's regulations.
Qin Guowei not only wanted to be the CEO of the group but naturally also wanted to get Qin Dongliang's 20% shares.
He whispered in Hai Yulan's ear: "Grandma, just let her participate.
But with you here, she won't be able to compete with me no matter what, and the CEO position will ultimately still be mine."
Old Madam tapped her cane and said: "Alright then, I'll let you participate, but with me, this old woman, here, I'd like to see who dares to vote for you."
Although the situation had escalated to this point and she had gained the right to attend the board meeting, Chu Chu still couldn't see Qin Dongliang one last time, and she left the Qin Family villa with a crestfallen expression.
After getting into the car, she remained silent for a while, then asked: "Xiaofan, why did you insist on me running for CEO?
Isn't this just asking for humiliation?"
It turned out that all those words in the Late Stage were conveyed to her by Ye Bufan through telepathy.
According to Chu Chu's original intention, she didn't want to participate in this board meeting.
