The next day, Jiang Yuyan, Ning Jiahui and Lu Chen left the Lu Mansion together to go to the Lu Corporation. The entire office was excited and thrilled to know who would be the next president.
The board members gathered in the meeting room, which had a huge rectangular table, having several chairs around it. At one end of the table, there was the single chair meant for the chairman and Ning Jiahui sat on it. The board members sat on the two rows facing each other and Ning Jiahui could see them on both sides.
Lu Chen sat on the right side perpendicular of Ning Jiahui as he was the vice president of the company while Jiang Yuyan sat on her left side who faced Lu Chen. Fu Jing Li Yong and other board members sat on the chairs.
Xiao Dong, being the assistant of the Chairman, announced the purpose of the meeting once again.
"Mrs. Chairman would like to thank you all for attending this important meeting which is meant to select the next president of this company. As decided previously, the decision will go in the favour of the side which will have the most percentage of shareholding support. If anyone has complained about it, they are free to express their opinion."
Fu Jing, who was sitting next to Lu Chen, commented, "What complaint could anyone have as what could be fair than deciding the most powerful position by using a power which is held by the shareholders? We all know Mr. Li Yong is the deserving candidate for the president’s position and I hope most people present here agree with me."
"Mr Fu Jing is right," said the supporters of Fu Jing while Li Yong who was sitting beside him was already celebrating in his heart thinking he would be the next president.
As the opposite people looked happy, the board members supporting Chairman’s side looked nervous as they could see the result may not be in their favor. This time the decision would be based on the percentage of shares holding and it was clear that who sided with whom.
Wen Tao and Yun Shen arrived just then, and seeing them, Fu Jing felt even happier. These two were the deciding factors of the side which would win.
As they both sat, Li Yong and Fu Jing greeted them with the smile while these two smiled lightly and sat quietly.
"Finally all are here, so we can start meeting," Saying Xiao Dong direct the meeting towards Mrs. Chairman.
Ning Jiahui looked at everyone present as she spoke, "I don’t agree with Mr. Fu Jing and on behalf of Mr. Chairman, we have decided otherwise."
All were ready to hear her thinking whom Ning Jiahui would nominate but Fu Jing’s side was not bothered with what she would say as they knew the result would be on their side.
Ning Jiahui continued, "The person who deserves to be in that position is my second son, Lu Lijun."
"I wish you all to hear everything out first," Ning Jiahui commented ignoring what the person said. The room turned silent with this, and Ning Jiahui continued.
"Lu Lijun would be the president, but he will handle everything once he is an adult. Till then we will have my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu Qiang, to be the president and take of everything until my second son is able to handle it."
Ning Jiahui’s decision shocked Jiang Yuyan as she looked at her mother-in-law questioningly, but Ning Jiahui signaled her to be calm. Jiang Yuyan looked at Lu Chen who was sitting facing her and he nodded slightly as if saying this was the right thing to do.
Jiang Yuyan understood both of them decided it but she had to keep quiet as it was not a nice move to disrespect the Chairman’s decision by opposing it.
"Mrs. Chairman, we all think the person should be experienced enough to handle the company," Fu Jing commented and few others supported him.
Fu Jing’s words didn’t affect Ning Jiahui.
"Experienced, huh?" Saying, Ning Jiahui left out a soft chuckled as she continued, "When a few years back Mr. Chairman was hospitalized and this company was going into someone else’s hand, at that time the one who saved the Lu Corporation was my inexperienced son. I don’t remember the so called experienced people we have here had tried to help him and instead sided with the enemies. Am I right, Mr. Fu Jing."
Fu Jing suddenly felt a loss for words and Ning Jiahui continued, "I can show you all the proof of who did what to help the company or the enemies. Do you all want me to show it or is it enough?"
Suddenly Ning Jiahui’s words created a threatening atmosphere around that no one expected. This calm lady, who never preferred to interfere with the business which she left it in the past, looked like in her old fierce form.
Lu Chen and Jiang Yuyan looked at the lady in front of them and had no words to say. Lu Chen felt proud of his sister-in-law, and Jiang Yuyan was amazed with how strong her mother-in-law was. Jiang Yuyan always saw her as a calm lady who looked after her family with all her heart and cared for everyone, but never ever Jiang Yuyan thought her mother-in-law could turn out like this too.
"Mrs Chairman, this is business and such things keep happening so it’s not good to keep them to heart," Fu Jing suggested, getting back to his senses and pulling out a fake smile.
"We didn’t keep those things to heart or half of the chairs here would be empty today." Ning Jiahui words were like sharp sword those were directly slicing the weak points of the enemy.
