272. Uninvited (2)
"What? I'm here to attend the shareholders' meeting of the Black Rice Art Club. Everyone seems to be very surprised..."
After speaking, Shao Lihua came in without being invited, and slowly sat in the seat closest to Lu Qifeng, picked up the teacup as if no one else was there, and began to drink tea.
"Hehe...that's not the case, but Madam Shao, you have always appeared in public as Feiyi Coffee, and as we all know, Feiyi Coffee and Black Rice Art Club are deadly rivals, and they often share a cup with each other in the art field Under such circumstances, Mrs. Shao, you came uninvited, which makes us small shareholders feel uneasy...Since it is a shareholders meeting that has not been invited, please invite Mrs. Shao Go back by yourself... It's not appropriate to appear here... Besides, we have no interest in the relationship between you and Lu Qifeng..."
A small shareholder sitting under the stage was a bit unwilling to show face, so he stood up directly and began to dismantle Lu Qifeng and Shao Lihua's stage, while Shao Lihua in this room just smiled and didn't give any favors. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Lu Qifeng, as if waiting for Lu Qifeng to speak.
"It is indeed the case……"
After a long time, Lu Qifeng finally spoke, but the content really surprised Shao Lihua.
"It is true that we did not invite you to this shareholders' meeting... I would like to ask those who have nothing to do with this shareholders' meeting to go out now. When this is over, I will welcome you..."
During the whole process of speaking, Lu Qifeng did not raise his eyes to look in Shao Lihua's direction, but just lowered his head silently, as if he was thinking about his own thoughts while speaking, obviously lacking confidence.
He admits that it has been nearly ten years since Lu Qifeng saw Shao Lihua for the last time. During these ten years, although he heard that Shao Lihua left the Lu family and went on his own, as for where she is now, Lu Qifeng still didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't have the slightest interest in inquiring about it. The relationship between their mother and son had been formed since the moment Shao Lihua left him and entered the Lu family. fellow traveler.
"Hehe...then Mrs. Shao please please?"
Hearing this, the small shareholders in the audience were naturally very happy, and began to make noises, wanting to immediately drive out Shao Lihua, an outsider, but Stephen, who was sitting in another corner, couldn't understand the situation in front of him at all. After a scene, he picked up the teacup by himself, took a sip of tea, and began to think quietly.
"Who is going to drive her out..."
Just when Lu Qifeng's three uncles arrived in a panic and didn't know what to do to smooth things over, Mrs. Lu, who had been sitting there quietly from the beginning, listening to you and me talking, suddenly Open your mouth and speak.
"Ms. Shao is my guest today, who of you is so rude? Want to invite my guest out?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu got up in person, walked down the steps, and started walking towards Shao Lihua.
"Ms. Shao gave birth to Qi Feng, a member of our Lu family. Since she is a member of the Lu family, she is eligible to participate in this shareholders' meeting. Whoever refuses to accept it, stand up and talk to me. explain?"
In the entire venue, the chaotic noise disappeared in a short time, and all the people sat there without moving, not daring to say a word. The crowd who had been whispering also stopped their movements and stared at Seeing Mrs. Lu in front of her, she slowly took Shao Lihua's hand, and forced her to the side of her seat.
When the little secretary said those words at the beginning, the people around him just took them as a joke or an excuse for Shao Lihua to come in, just listen to them. Who would have thought that Shao Lihua's identity was really that of Lu Qifeng's? The biological mother, that is to say, the entire Flying Wing Coffee is actually a part of the Lu Group.Thinking of this, the oldest director surnamed Li's heart suddenly sank. He always felt that something bad would happen today.
"Qi Feng, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Finish this shareholder meeting early, and our family hasn't been together for a long time..."
"Uh... ok... ok... I see..."
It was said that Lu Qifeng, who was still standing there alone in a daze, was called back by Mrs. Lu's words. The matter has come to this point, and he has no other choice but to continue the shareholder meeting that started. I can only pray that nothing special will happen again.
According to the procedure, the chairman or the general manager will share some achievements and deficiencies during his tenure with the shareholders during the entire general meeting of shareholders. In response to these problems, the shareholders will give some opinions and requirements of their own.Although he had things in his heart, Lu Qifeng still had to bite the bullet and read the manuscript that the secretary had prepared for him.
However, in Lu Qifeng's impression, his own mother, Shao Lihua, was conceived out of marriage and robbed the seat that should have belonged to Lu Qihao's mother. Therefore, he almost couldn't enter the gate of the Lu family, and what he knew was that these two people hadn't met and contacted each other for almost a few years, but the two people in front of him at this moment were chatting and laughing happily. It was completely unreasonable, and Lu Qifeng couldn't help but secretly thumped in his heart.
However, the entire board of directors went extremely smoothly, hundreds of times smoother than Lu Qifeng imagined.Perhaps because of Mrs. Lu and Stephen, the two shareholders, the other small shareholders seemed to be very obedient. They didn't ask Lu Qifeng some tricky and weird questions, and no one deliberately set up traps to embarrass him. The entire board of directors The process went very smoothly and came to the last part that is about to end.
But this last part is also the part that Lu Qifeng is most worried about.
According to the practice every four years, the resolution made at the last meeting of the board of directors was to dismiss Lu Qihao from his relevant position in the Black Rice Art Club, and transfer all functions and work to Lu Qifeng. But this time, facing the same situation, Lu Qifeng There will also be a decisive vote on whether to keep him in office.
Thinking of this, Lu Qifeng couldn't help but tilt his eyes, and exchanged glances with the three uncles standing behind him.Prior to this, he had notified these three uncles early in the morning to manage their relationships. Of course, these three old fritters also lived up to expectations, and under the bombardment of money and power, they bought a lot of small shareholders.
"Okay, the last part is about the voting on my appointment. If everyone is ready, our voting will begin."
When Lu Qifeng said this, the little secretary next to him immediately understood and quickly took a stack of electronic vote counters and began to distribute them to the shareholders present one by one.
Pressing the green button means passing, pressing the red button means not passing, pressing the yellow button means abstaining, and things that have been practiced countless times are not very difficult for these shareholders, and basically all personnel appointments and dismissals must go through the Crown Group A decision can only be made after discussion, so they also know very well in their hearts that this vote is just a formality.
"Is the technician ready?"
"Reporting to the chairman, I have prepared everything here, the ticket machine and the big screen, everything is ready."
"Well, everyone, I will count down to three two one, and everyone can start voting."
Speaking of this, Lu Qifeng couldn't help taking another deep breath, and then shouted out loudly.
"Three...two...one..."
Almost at the moment when Lu Qifeng yelled out, the big screen began to continuously scroll the histogram of the voting results. Judging from the data displayed above, the votes that agreed to pass Lu Qifeng's appointment were basically all the way ahead. Compared with the data that did not agree with Lu Qifeng's appointment, it was pitifully small. Seeing this, Lu Qifeng couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.Since there were not many people who came to the shareholders' meeting this time, those who did not come were regarded as abstaining from voting. Now that the voting has reached this stage, there is basically no trouble for one or two people. Thinking of this, Lu Qifeng gradually became more at ease.
"Okay, the voting time is coming soon. Shareholders who haven't voted please vote as soon as possible. Our vote counters will be closed soon. We will not count any votes cast after the close..."
The technicians standing aside generally looked at the watch on their wrists and urged them again, but the number of people on the screen showed that there were still three people who had not yet cast their votes.
"Mr. Stephen, Ms. Shao Lihua, Mrs. Lu, please vote as soon as possible, our voting channel will be closed soon..."
The technical staff seemed a little irritable, and once again called the names directly, and began to remind the three largest shareholders present.
Before the voice landed, it was Stephen who took the lead in picking up the voting device on the table, and pressed the red button under the eyes of everyone.
Immediately, the entire conference room was in an uproar, and everyone instantly saw the bar graph of opposition that was originally displayed on the screen, and it rose a lot in an instant.Since Stephen is the major shareholder and holds the votes of himself and his wife at the same time, as long as it is his decision, although it will not play a decisive role, it can still deeply affect the direction of the whole situation.
"The other two, please seize the time to vote..."
Under the urging of the technicians, Lu Qifeng's heart was almost in his throat.
