Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 533 - 385. Seizing Power (Second Update)_3

Lin Qi smiled compassionately: "You’re not wrong. The company is called Fude Group, established by your Ford family. So indeed, many of the directors present are nostalgic. Therefore, if you add up the votes of you two Fords, it’s still quite a bit more than an outsider like me."

"But unfortunately, the votes for Ford were split between two people. You two brothers aren’t united! You’re fighting amongst yourselves, so don’t blame me, Lin Qi, for reaping the benefits."

.

Lin Qi’s words felt like a slap in the face for both George and James. The two exchanged glances, seeing the embarrassment in each other’s eyes.

Besides embarrassment, George felt an added layer of shock and hatred.

It turns out his little brother really has grown up, secretly pulling tricks behind his back to challenge him! This person before him is no longer the little child he could manipulate at will; now he not only knows how to protect himself, but has also learned to fight back!

James simply smiled, leaned over to whisper in George’s ear: "I didn’t expect today’s outcome. But brother, there’s no need to frown at me like this. You know best what tricks you’ve played in private. You’ve privately met with shareholders, promised various conditions, just so they would choose you over me."

"We are blood brothers, what you can do, I can do as well. So today, you only lost because of your own greed. Brother, I’ve warned you before: we rely on each other for survival. If one dies, the other won’t survive either."

Having said this, James was the first to applaud Lin Qi: "Congratulations."

George was thunderstruck. After 15 years of waiting, victory was almost within reach, he could almost grasp it; how could it suddenly slip away?

Lin Qi couldn’t help but reveal a mocking smile, patting George on the shoulder to bring him back to reality: "You ask why me, Lin Qi? Let me tell you, it’s not just opportunism; I, Lin Qi, rely on my own abilities. Xiao Qiao, let me tell you, I’m now the largest shareholder of Fude Group. Do you claim this chairman seat shouldn’t be mine? Who else could it be?"

George stood up in shock: "How is that possible?! I’ve checked the board’s shareholding proportions; you’re still just a minor shareholder!"

Lin Qi chuckled, gesturing at several corporate directors’ proxies present: "You’re right, as an individual, my shareholding is indeed just minor. But unfortunately for you, several of the institutional directors here are actually companies I’ve invested in. So, if you add their shareholding to mine, it far exceeds yours."

Lin Qi pulled the cigar from his lips, flicking the white ash onto the table in front of George: "As the largest shareholder of Fude Group, you tell me, am I qualified to sit in the chairman’s chair?"

With that, Lin Qi laughed heartily and headed to the highest-backed, massive seat and sat, proudly surveying everyone: "I greatly appreciate everyone’s trust, and am deeply gratified by your vision. Since you have elected me as the leader, I will ensure your investment returns."

.

The dust settled.

During the break, George returned to the specially arranged rest room and, in anger, swept away the tea set on the table. Crash, the porcelain shattered all over the ground.

James, however, remained calm, sitting on the sofa engrossed in his phone, showing little emotion.

George stared intently at James, struggling to control his emotions.

"Alright, I admit I was wrong. James, forgive your brother this once. But look, now the company has been taken over by an outsider. How will we face our ancestors in the future?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

James calmly raised his eyes: "But whether he or you holds power, what difference does it make to me? You’re the eldest son, and I’m just the youngest, so in your mind, the inheritance was always solely yours, irrelevant to me. No matter how much I helped you, it was expected, I was supposed to support you, and you had no obligation to me."

"Then why should I feel ashamed in front of our ancestors? The one who should truly be ashamed is you, brother, not me."

George was rendered speechless by his questioning.

.

George’s tantrums and shouting had long been reported to Lin Qi by his subordinates.

Lin Qi, upon hearing it, wasn’t surprised, nodding with a smiling expression while puffing on his cigar.
