Chapter 305: Taking Control of the Overall Situation

Sitting next to Qin Chong was Xie Guang. Facing the many gazes fixed on him, he sighed softly and then said, "My vote goes to Qin Chuchu."

Although Old Madam had some prestige, and although he had a good relationship with Qin Dahai and Qin Guowei, these were far less important than his wife and children. Of course, he knew how to choose.

Hai Dachun called out, "Qin Chuchu, two votes!"

This time, Hai Yulan and Qin Guowei were a bit stunned. If Qin Chong voting for Qin Chuchu was an isolated case, two people doing so was rather unusual.

Including Qin Dajiang, no one knew what had happened. Even his own father was forced to vote for Qin Guowei, yet these two major shareholders suddenly shifted their allegiance.

In any case, the voting could not stop. Next, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th shareholders, one after another, all cast their votes for Qin Chuchu.

Just a minute or two later, aside from the four members of the Qin Family and Hai Dachun sitting on the stage, Qin Chuchu had already secured five votes, accounting for half of the total votes.

Hai Yulan’s face turned incredibly grim, and cold sweat had already beaded on Qin Guowei’s forehead. They couldn't understand why the situation had turned out this way.

These major shareholders had sworn last night to vote for Qin Guowei, so why had they suddenly completely changed their minds? However, the voting rights were theirs, and no matter how anxious they were, it was useless.

There were a total of 10 shareholders present, holding 10 votes. If Qin Chuchu gained one more vote, she would surely win.

Facing all of this, she could hardly believe it, knowing it must be related to Ye Bufan, but she couldn't figure out how this man had done it.

How could he have made all these major shareholders switch sides overnight? In her eyes, this was an impossible task.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Hai Yulan sharply called out, "Qin Chuchu, I order you to cast your vote for your cousin!"

In her view, Hai Dachun was her relative and under absolute control. If Qin Chuchu voted for Qin Guowei, plus Hai Dachun's vote, it would also be five votes.

If the votes were tied, it would come down to the shares controlled by each side, and in terms of share quantity, their side held an absolute advantage.

Qin Chuchu angrily said, "Why should I?"

Old Madam arrogantly shouted, "Because I am your grandmother! If you don't vote for your cousin, even if you get the CEO position, I will kick you out of the Qin Family."

Qin Chuchu excitedly cried out, "Grandma, can you be any more biased? He's clearly inferior to me in every way!

(To be continued) Why should I vote for him!"

Hai Yulan said, "I don't care what tricks you pulled behind the scenes, or how you swayed the shareholders present, but as long as I'm here, you won't become the CEO of the Qin Family."

Qin Chuchu called out, "Shareholders are free. Voting is their right. They can vote for whoever they want. What does that have to do with me?

Even if I persuaded them, that's a reflection of my ability, and it has nothing to do with the outcome."

Old Madam’s expression was grim, and she was about to say more when Ye Bufan said, “Alright, stop arguing. Forcing Chu Chu is useless.”

He looked at Hai Dachun on the stage and said, "Mr. Hai, it's your turn to vote."

Hai Dachun looked at the intensely gazing Ye Bufan, knowing that evasion was useless. For the sake of his little brother being able to be used normally in the future, it was better to make a quick decision.

He said, "My vote goes to Qin Chuchu. I support her as the CEO of Qin's Group."

At this, Hai Yulan was completely dumbfounded. Even if she could force Qin Chuchu with her authority, that would only be four votes. Now, she had completely lost today's board meeting vote.

Qin Chuchu immediately followed, saying, "I cast my vote for myself!"

Having made his decision, Hai Dachun had no hesitation whatsoever and said in a businesslike manner, "The board election vote has concluded. Qin Chuchu has received seven votes.

Exceeding half of all board members, she is elected CEO of Qin's Group, effective immediately."

The other board members no longer paid attention to Hai Yulan and the others, and one after another, they congratulated Qin Chuchu.

These individuals, having reached their current positions, were all extremely shrewd. From today's vote, they had already seen Ye Bufan's formidable power.

At first, they all thought they were just isolated cases, but later they realized it wasn't the case at all.

If influencing one person's will was nothing, the ability to control every vote held by non-Qin Family board members—such overall control—was terrifying to even contemplate.

Ye Bufan looked at Hai Yulan and said with a slight smile, "Old Madam, the result disappointed you!"

"You…"

Hai Yulan's face turned ashen with anger. She had originally thought she possessed enough prestige, but she never expected to completely lose control now. Without Qin Dongliang, she simply couldn't control these shareholders of the Qin Family.

Just as she was about to explode, Qin Guowei suddenly whispered a few words in her ear.

Hai Yulan immediately said, "Since the board election has concluded, let's proceed to the next item. With all directors present, I ask everyone to bear witness that my

(To be continued) Grandson Qin Guowei will inherit Old Man's 20% shares.

From now on, he will be the one with the most shares in the entire Qin's Group, serving as the Group Chairman."

Qin Guowei said triumphantly, "Qin Chuchu, what's so great about being CEO? Now I'm the Chairman, and I can immediately remove you from your CEO position and take it myself."

Each group has its own regulations, and in Qin's Group, the Chairman's power is supreme; he can appoint and remove the CEO at any time.

Qin Chuchu’s face instantly became extremely ugly. She never expected that all her efforts for so long would end up with such a result.

Hai Yulan said arrogantly, "You two little kids, you still want to fight with me, Old Madam? You're far from it!"

The only calm person present was Ye Bufan. He smiled slightly, looked at Old Madam, and said, "You will regret doing this."

Hai Yulan said, "Me, regret? What a joke! Xiao Wei is my Grandson, and the Qin Family should belong to him. No outsider can snatch it away."

Ye Bufan looked at her and said, "What if she is the one who killed Qin Dongliang?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, it was like a thunderclap resounding through the meeting room. Everyone's expressions instantly changed drastically, including those shareholders who were not directly involved, all of whom were greatly startled.

The biggest reaction came from Qin Guowei. After all, he was the one who did it, and now that the truth was revealed, how could he not be anxious?

"Ye Bufan, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly kill Grandpa?"

"Because if you didn't kill your grandfather, you wouldn't be able to become CEO, let alone Chairman."

"Nonsense, utter nonsense."

Qin Guowei quickly said to Hai Yulan, "Grandma, you must not believe this guy's nonsense. He's just trying to sow discord between us."

Then he shouted loudly towards the door, "Where are the security guards? Hurry up and throw this guy out!"

As soon as his voice fell, the door opened, but it wasn't security guards who walked in, but seven or eight fully armed police officers, led by He Shuangshuang.

She held up the arrest warrant in her hand and said, "Qin Guowei, you are suspected of murdering Qin Dongliang, and you are now under arrest."

"Impossible, this is impossible."

A flicker of panic flashed in Qin Guowei's eyes, but he had done the deed extremely secretly, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone to know. It must be Ye Bufan trying to frame him.

He grabbed Hai Yulan's arm and cried out, "Grandma, they're all framing me! You must stand up for me!"
