“The next President?” Ning Qing looked towards the crowd of people, and she curled up the corners of her lips. “Is that right?” she asked with a smile on her face.
There were supporters of 7th Grandpa among the crowd, and they immediately replied, “That’s right, Madam. The Lu Corporation cannot have another day without it’s master, and everyone here is doing this for the good of Lu Corporation.”
“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head, and she slowly walked towards 7th Grandpa as she said, “Since that is the case, I am the largest shareholder of the Lu Corporation. I should also participate in this shareholder’s meeting. 7th Grandpa, could you make some space?”
Ning Qing was clearly looking at chairman’s seat, which 7th Grandpa was sitting in.
7th Grandpa had dreamed of this position from the beginning. He had barely sat down, and Ning Qing was snatching it away from him! He was obviously reluctant to do so, and he said, “Ning Qing, you are still too young in age, and you are but a woman. You are not suited to participate in this shareholder’s meeting; even your mother-in-law has yet to participate in one…”
“Butler.” Ning Qing had a frown on her face as she interrupted 7th Grandpa, and she looked towards the old butler who was beside her.
“Yes.” The butler politely took out some documents, and he positioned them in front of everyone present. “This is my Young Master, Old Master and Old Madam’s 51% of shares, and this is the official share transfer agreement. From now onwards, our Madam is the largest shareholder of the Lu Corporation.”
Everyone took in a breath of air; the entire Lu family was in the hands of this young diva? She took lead of them?
Ning Qing smacked the documents in front of 7th grandpa and she said with a smile on her face, “7th Grandpa, my mother-in-law has yet to participate in any shareholder’s meeting before, but that does not mean that I can’t. Now, get out of this space!”
She added emphasis on the words, “get out of this space!”, and every single word of hers was clear and crisp.
Everyone was taken aback. Ning Qing was just a 21 year old girl, and now she actually dared to challenge 7th Grandpa.
Such guts..
“You…” 7th Grandpa’s facial expression was stern and stiff.
But the transfer agreement was right in front of him, and this position did belong to Ning Qin. He could only vacate this seat for her.
The old butler dragged the chair out, and Ning Qing graciously took the chairman’s position. She was the owner of the largest corporation in the country — Lu Corporation!
The crowd could not help but glance at Ning Qing.
“Everyone, what stage are we at? Oh, is it voting-time? Sure, then let us all continue. I will just sit here and watch you all vote one by one.” Ning Qing’s clear and cold gaze from her moist eyes scanned each and every shareholder’s face.
By this, Ning Qing meant: All of you write, and I will just sit here to supervise. The majority were frozen in place.
Ning Qing looked at the first person that was seated beside he. “Oh, this person is probably the largest shareholder outside of Lu Corporation, President Dong. 12 years ago, you wanted to invest funds in the Lu Corporation, and at that time, my 7th Grandpa was firmly against that, but Shaoming saw your abilities, and he allowed you to invest your funds into the Lu Corporation. He helped your company step by step to debut it onto the market. These days, you live in luxury and comfort, and even your figure has gotten rounder by quite a bit.”
The director laughed awkwardly, then lowered his gaze.
Ning Qing looked at the third person down the line, and she said, “Isn’t this the general manager of the Lu Corporation? Four years ago, you came back to the country from overseas, and when you looked for a job, you faced many difficulties. After that, Shaoming met you, and he gave you a chance. You were hardworking and diligent, and you climbed up the ladder to the position of general manager.”
The general manager laughed awkwardly, and had his hands into fists as he said, “I am regretful. I am regretful.”
Ning Qing then looked at the 5th and 6th person. Those who have received Lu Shaoming’s help lowered their heads in shame under Ning Qing’s sharp and forceful gaze.
7th Grandpa saw that Ning Qing was able to control everyone present once again, and he hurriedly said, “Ning Qing, a benefactor’s gratitude is just gratitude itself; the Lu Corporation…”
Ning Qing did not even spare a glance at 7th Grandpa, and with a devious smile on her face, she coldly interrupted what 7th Grandpa was going to say. “All of you, if you did not have Lu Shaoming here, you would not have your success that you have today. But now that Lu Shaoming has been involved in a plane crash — none of you even know if he’s dead — but all of you are already so keen to betray him. Yes, the Lu Corporation cannot go on a day longer without its master, but there are still six days until the next shareholder’s meeting. The support and gratitude that you have developed towards Lu Shaoming during these years — is it not worth a mere six-day wait!?”
As she spoke, Ning Qing’s eyes were red rimmed. She stood up, and she pointed at those people as she said, “Shaoming got in an accident, and our entire family is trying our best to search for him, but at this moment, what are all you guys doing? You are stabbing knives into our hearts — all of you…”
That director stood up, and he looked towards Ning Qing. He bowed down and said, “Madam, I am sorry. I shouldn’t have come today. I will be the first to get a move on.”
The director walked out of the room.
The general manager followed in his tracks, and he said, “Madam, I seem to be in a blur. If there is anything that would benefit from my expertise in the future, please make use of me. I have to go.”
As for the 3rd and 4th person: they all followed in their tracks and walked out.
7th Grandpa had a glance at the huge meeting room. Half of these shareholders had disappeared, and it hadn’t even been 10 minutes. Ning Qing was actually able to move so many people’s hearts?
There were not enough people. How was he going to commence the shareholder’s meeting?
…
Ning Qing watched those people leave, and the small fist by her side relaxed. The butler saw the situation at hand, and he felt both in admiration and relief as he nodded his head subtly towards Ning Qing.
At this moment, a few elders stood up from their chairs, and everyone looked at Ning Qing with extreme hate in their eyes. They looked as if they wanted to shred her into pieces, and 7th Grandpa pointed towards her nose and chided her saying, “Such a great Ning Qing. I didn’t think that you would have such a glib tongue. I didn’t think you would be so good in casting a spell towards people’s hearts. You want to damage relations with us right? Now that Shaoming is not around, you think that we are forcing our way in. Do you think you can beat us?”
Ning Qing laughed coldly in her heart. They were angry? They were finally speak the truth?
Force their way in?
She was afraid that they would not do so!
“Force your way in ? Haha.” Ning Qing raised her voice, and she forcefully laughed out loud. She shrugged her shoulders and arrogantly looked at this group of people, provoking them in the process. “What do you think of yourselves as? I addressed all of you as uncles and grandfathers because I really had a good impression of all of you? You’ve been held down by my family for so many years now. This will continue for the next century; all of you are merely parasites of the Lu family.”
Ning Qing was extremely harsh in her words. It seemed like she was vaguely cursing them. The elders who were listening on could not hold it in any longer, and they were unable to control themselves!
At this moment, a rash person came forward to face Ning Qing. “Ning Qing, what did you say just now? If you have the guts, I dare you to repeat what you just said another time.”
“Haha, what would I not dare to do. All of you, listen well. All of you live in the dark corners, you always use your gaze to judge others, you’re all fated to have no achievements in life, and you are an insult to the Lu family!”
“Nonsense!” That rash person immediately went over to shove Ning Qing.
Ning Qing stumbled for a moment, and she fell back with a loud bang. She fell onto the floor, and her forehead directly collided with the sharp edge of the chair.
A hot liquid flowed out, and Ning Qing wiped it away. It was all blood.
“Ah!” she loudly shrieked.
7th Grandpa came forward hurriedly, and he chided that rash person. “What are you doing?”
That rash person looked at his own hand and said, “I, I… I didn’t use any strength, how did she fall that badly?”
“Madam, Madam. Are you alright?” The butler hastily came forward and helped Ning Qing back up.
Ning Qing stared at them in disbelief. She pointed at the elders and said in a loud voice, “You are taking action against me right? Sure, you dare to lay your hands on me, now that Shaoming has met with an accident. Not only do you want to snatch the position of president away from him, but you also want to bully others?”
7th Grandpa had a frown on his face, and fresh blood trickled down from Ning Qing’s forehead. Her hair that was tied up into a bun was also let down messily. Furthermore, her small face was pale which made her look extra pitiful.
Others who saw her would think that they had all bullied her badly.
7th Grandpa did not want to inflate this matter, and he said in a low voice, “Ning Qing, hear me speak…’
“I don’t want to listen!” Ning Qing pulled up her sleeves and rushed in the direction of the rash person. She held onto that person’s sleeve as she shouted angrily, “You want to beat me right? Come now! If you have the ability, you can hit me again. You can prove to me that you are not a parasite or an insult.”
That rash person was furious once yet and he said, “Ning Qing, you still dare to speak like that?”
“How would I not dare to do so? I am just that daring.”
All of the elders came forward to break up the fight, and they wanted to pull the both of them apart. The situation at hand was a chaotic mess.
At this moment, the sound of incessant crying rang out in the air again. Yin Shuiling carried Little Young Master Lu in her arms as she walked in. She saw Ning Qing trapped in the middle of the crowd, and she quickly shouted towards the outside. “Ah, someone come over, someone come over quickly! There is violence! It’s murder!”
“Shut up, come back.” Someone quickly went to block Yin Shuiling’s mouth and they did not let her scream.
At this moment, Little Young Master Lu really started to throw a tantrum, and Ning Qing rushed over to grab Little Young Master Lu. The tears on her face trickled down fervently. “Little Young Master Lu, your father is not around anymore, and these people are letting out their beastly sides wanting to bully both of us. Single mother and child — they are forcing us to our deaths.”
“Ning Qing, listen to me explain. We don’t mean it like that…” 7th Grandpa waved his hands around, and he was in a big dilemma. He never realized that Ning Qing had the potential to be a crazy woman.
“Then what do all of you mean? Sure, since you are not willing to leave a space for us to survive, then all of us should just die together. Butler, butler, make a call to my work studio immediately. I want to open a press conference to the media as both Ning Qing, and as Mrs Lu. I want to proclaim in front of everyone in this city. I want to expose the true intentions of these people here, and I want them to suffer from bad reputations from today onwards.”
This words triggered some people’s senses, and they said, “Ning Qing, it would be best to state who bullied you today; don’t start lying here.”
That rash person rushed over in Ning Qing’s direction, and he lifted up his hands, wanting to give Ning Qing a slap.
“Madam!”
“Ning Qing!”
The butler and Yin Shuiling shouted out at the same moment.
Ning Qing felt something heavy come towards the direction of her cheek, and she protected Little Young Master Lu in her arms. She quickly shut her eyes and accepted this slap.
But this slap did not come. A scream came from that rash person instead. “Ah!”
Ning Qing quickly opened her eyes, and there was a person standing beside her.
She was extremely delighted as she said, “Luoxi!”
Ou Luoxi arrived.
Ou Luoxi was dressed in a blue and white cotton attire, and the design was elegant and simple. He matched with a light colour wool sweater underneath, and he had dark coloured slim cut jeans on the bottom. He folded the ends up onto his thighs, and it revealed the fair skin on his legs. He had a pair of flat shoes on his feet, and he looked youthful and fashionable.
From Ning Qing’s angle, she could see his soft fringe on his forehead that was slightly covering his beautiful eyes, and although he did not have any expression on his face, it was also not enough to cover his delicate features that were like a painting’s. It was enough to make anyone lose their breath.
He was a youth who was extremely beautiful and sparkling.
