Chapter 257 - Voting Rights

All of the people inside the meeting room are holding their breaths while their attention is on the opened door and waiting for the person to finally comes in

Shortly thereafter, President Hanada came in as if he was in pain with red eyes. He walked straight and stood in front of the CEO's chair. Before, he had to adjust his clothes first to make sure he was dignified. Then he started his drama.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, first of all, I apologize to all of you for making you all wait for so long." He took a deep breath and glanced at the whole meeting room. He wants to make sure that no one is there who can stop him when he begins his plan of taking over the company.

Before he left the house, he made sure that his plan to kill Tanaga had been fulfilled. Secondly, the older woman could not come forward to contest the announcement of the self-proclaimed new CEO of THJ Group.

The last report he received from the syndicate leader was that the Chairwoman had a heart attack after finding out what happened to Tanaga and was currently in hiding where she was being treated. He didn't care if the older woman was alive or dead. As long as she does not attend the board meetings.

He has calculated the total percentage of voting rights of all board members without the Chairwoman and the CEO to vote. The remaining vote percentage is less than 30%. He has a 20% vote from all his allies and he is sure that they would vote for him.

Even though the Grandma Hanada and Tanaga's parties would vote, it still lacked because they had only 10% of the vote. So President Hanada is certain that he will be the new CEO of the company.

When he was sure that no one could stop him, President Hanada continued his plan. He will put himself in the position of CEO, with the help of board members who are currently anxious about the whole situation.

"As I was saying, you must have heard of the misfortune my dear nephew had. Even I can't believe that this happened, I can't believe that this would happen, but because many people involved the one that he dirty dealings, it is very likely that this is the cause.

"Anyway, right now it's being investigated who is the one behind this and I'll make sure that the person who did it will pay." His voice was determined and loud, though he was shouting and shaking, he purposely did it to get the sentiment of the board members.

He acts like he's in anguish and covered his face and starts to sob and let the people hear his mourning

The board members stand up and approach president Hanada to give sympathy in his grieving. They didn't know that president Hanada's covered face didn't have any trace of grief, but the happiness that has no end. 

Once President Hanada was sure that he got the sympathy of all the board members. He then continues to the next stage of his plan. He slowly reveals his face, where the are traces of tears. He didn't wipe the tears on his cheek and started another drama. 

"I know what happened was really sad, but I can't do anything but to attend this special board meeting. Because all of you and the shareholders of the company are the most important. We can't accept that our stock would get down because of what happened to CEO Jones. "

"Now I'm here in front of you to promise that even though there's a big tragedy happened to CEO Jones, don't worry because nothing bad will happen to the THJ group. The business will continue as if nothing has happened." 

"The PR department make sure to block all reports and news about what happened to CEO Jones to not affect our stock price." He proudly said while smiling to erase the nervousness of the board members. 

Suddenly, some of the board members' faces lit up on what they heard. It is president Hanada's friends and is teaming with him on what he's planning to do. You can clearly see the smirk on their faces like a demon. 

Even though they're happy about what's happening, there are many more who is sad and not comfortable with what's happening and started to whisper at each other. 

"What does president Hanada talking about?" One of the board members asked the person on his side. 

"Hmmm, it looks like he wants to put himself in the CEO's position. What is he thinking? That he can get my vote?" Vice president Hakura said that is a close friend of Tanaga's father. 

"Well, let's just see what he's planning to do. He's not sure if he can get the position just because he wants. I would prefer COO Handa to be replaced if needed, but I won't vote for him. 

While all of the people whispering on disagreeing on supporting president Hanada, they just heard the declaration of voting. 

"

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please begin casting your votes!" Announced the speaker of the THJ group.

Each of the board members put their votes before coming back to their seats and waiting for the result. 

After a few moments, the tally of voting is now finished. All of the votes are counted on by one and starting to record it on the computer while this was seen in the overhead projector. 

In the first place, the votes on disagreeing on president Hanada, but as time pass by, the voting tally is finished and it is 21% versus the 9% who disagrees. 

President Hanada's smile was so wide. While his thoughts are far on how he can get the wealth of Tanaga and his grandmother. First the THJ group, then their wealth and properties. 

The vote-counting is finished and ready to proclaim president Hanada as a replacement in Tanaga as the CEO of the THJ group. 

President Hanada are already prepared to accept the position. He stands up to give a speech after he got proclaimed 

All of his allies have a beautiful smirk in their lips. They know that there's a large sum of money they can corrupt. 

" Ladies and gentlemen, after tabulating all your votes. If you agree or not that president Hanada will be the new CEO of the THJ group. The result is as clear as crystal. 

" 21% said yes while 9% percent disagree and because. The Family of chairwoman is not here that has a voting rights of 25% and another shareholder that holds a 10% voting rights, you know the meaning of it. If no one would give another vote, I want to introduce the new CEO of the THJ group… "

The speaker suddenly stopped speaking when an employee come near him and whispered, then gave a brown envelope… It looks like it's a special envelope from the seal that was showing on the outside.

When president Hanada saw it, he suddenly got worried and beads of sweat trickled on his forehead. He looked at his allies, asking if they know something. 

All of his allies shooks their heads while they also began to sweat...
