Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 532 - 385. Seizing Power (Second Update)_2

Tang Yanqing also nodded with a smile, "Mm-hmm, Little Sound managed to redeem himself this time. Although he couldn’t use these witnesses to exonerate my elder sister, he at least helped us find the real suspect.

Consequently, the police officially shifted their attention in the Yanwu Square Tong’s wife case towards George.

.

After years of hiding, George’s return to the public eye indeed attracted considerable attention.

The major media outlets rushed to interview him, and his exposure in the media even surpassed Huangfu Huazhang. He enjoyed it so, and Huangfu Huazhang did not retaliate at all.

Not surprisingly, Huangfu Huazhang was mired in legal troubles, leaving him no time or energy to fight back.

Finally, under such favorable circumstances, the shareholders’ meeting of the Fude Group was convened. As one of the most important items on the agenda, following multiple elections, the shareholders elected directors, who officially appeared in the boardroom for a board meeting to elect a new chairman of the board.

George and James arrived together, exuding an air of command as if they were princes reclaiming their lost kingdom with swords in hand.

However, Huangfu Huazhang himself did not show up; only his lawyer Liu Qingtian attended on his behalf.

Huangfu Huazhang’s personal shareholding has greatly shrunk, and although he can still enter the board, he has become insignificant.

Seeing this situation, everyone had their own calculations: seeing that Huangfu Huazhang is someone who doesn’t like to admit defeat in person, he chose not to show up knowing he would certainly lose. Meanwhile, the two brothers George and James endured hardships in silence, having quietly absorbed large amounts of shares.

Moreover, fortune also favored the brothers significantly, which led to the recent stock price fluctuations, allowing them the opportunity to acquire shares at low prices.

With such favorable timing and conditions, it was destined for the two brothers to reclaim the company after 15 years.

George sat in the seat closest to the chairman’s position, smiling confidently as he waved to everyone, "Take a seat, everyone, please sit down."

The new directors exchanged pleasantries and sat down. George nodded to the board secretary, "Let’s begin."

Secretary Dong hesitated slightly, stepped forward, and whispered, "Mr. Lin Qi has not arrived yet."

The Fude Group and Lin Qi Group have mutually held shares for over a hundred years, but both are only minor shareholders of each other, so George nodded indifferently, "It doesn’t matter if he’s not here, we’ll proceed as usual."

With the shares in his hands, he was determined to claim the chairman’s position.

At the appointed time, under the organization of the secretary, the directors began the voting process according to the procedures.

George cast his vote and then smiled, watching each director as they voted. He had privately met with each director beforehand, discussed what needed to be discussed, and believed they would all comply today.

Just as he expected, after each director voted, they nodded and smiled back at him.

Everything proceeded perfectly until the final vote-counting segment.

Initially, the vote counting went smoothly, and Huangfu Huazhang almost had no votes, with the only focus being between George and James. Although James received some votes, George’s advantage was still apparent. Just when George was leisurely preparing to stand up and give his election speech, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.

Lin Qi’s votes began to appear. Starting from the first ballot, every subsequent vote was for Lin Qi!

George was stunned and quickly looked towards James, "What’s going on?"

James was equally surprised, "I don’t know either."

As the vote counting continued, the conference room door opened, and Lin Qi walked in wearing a silver-gray suit, biting a cigar and smiling as he waved and greeted the seated directors.

As Lin Qi casually found a sofa along the wall to sit down, the vote counting concluded. Lin Qi was elected with one vote more than George!

The entire conference room erupted in applause, while George looked at Lin Qi as if he’d seen a ghost.

Secretary Dong, his face glowing, invited Lin Qi to take the chairman’s seat.

Lin Qi smiled, stood up, and walked over to George, patting his shoulder, "Little Qiao, even though it’s just one vote, you shouldn’t feel aggrieved. You saw yourself that I was a little late, which means I didn’t vote. So if I add my vote to the count, the difference might be more than just that one vote."

George brushed away Lin Qi’s hand, "But what makes you entitled?! You’re just a minor shareholder, and even if the Ford family married your family, that was over a hundred years ago. This is the Fude Group, it’s my Ford family’s, not a place for someone with the surname Lin Qi!"
