392: Chapter 392 A Stage of Victory

As the words fell.

Gu Mingming, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"No."

"Didn't you say it? The Board of Directors must convene today, and the choice for Chairman must be decided today."

Damn illegitimate son!

Gu Xuantian gritted his teeth: "I said a lot of things, not every single word has to come true. I say it's not suitable to hold the Board meeting today, so it's not suitable!"

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow: "Then tell me, when is a more suitable time to convene the Board meeting?"

Just as Gu Xuantian was about to casually name a time, Shen Yan spoke again:

"However, I must kindly remind you that today's result will be the same as the result in a few days. No matter how hard you try, the position of Chairman will definitely belong to Gu Mingming."

"You are welcome to disbelieve me and reconvene the Board meeting in a few days, but... in a few days, the Gu Corporation probably won't look like this anymore. The situation at Gu Corporation will likely be much more brutal then."

Gu Xuantian became so angry his eyes turned red.

He knew Shen Yan must have used some method to make the people on the Board of Directors speak up for Gu Mingming.

But he didn't know how to change the minds of the people on the Board.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Shen Yan shook his head.

Gu Xuantian and Gu Mingming were truly both incompetent fools.

If it were him, he wouldn't choose to 'take a step back for a broader sky.'

He would choose to stabilize his position as General Manager first, and worry about the rest later.

As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn.

However, he certainly wouldn't offer this suggestion to Gu Xuantian. He cleared his throat and said to the members of the Board of Directors:

"What is your opinion? Do you choose to let Gu Mingming become Chairman today, or wait a few days until the situation is even more irrecoverable to let Gu Mingming become Chairman?"

The high-ranking executives on the Board had sharp eyes.

They knew this matter was already settled.

Therefore, they did not hesitate and replied directly:

"Let's do it today. Things cannot continue like this; by then, no one will be able to salvage the situation."

Hearing this, Gu Xuantian slumped back into his chair powerlessly, repeating over and over: "You cannot treat me like this! I am the rightful grandson of the Old Master, you cannot treat me like this!"

The executives simply dismissed his words as nonsense.

They paid him no mind, letting it go in one ear and out the other.

"Fine, then I will act as a witness. Those who are willing to let Gu Xuantian become Chairman now, please raise your hands."

As the words fell, no one raised their hand.

A few seconds later.

Shen Yan said again: "Now, those who agree to let Gu Mingming become Chairman, please raise your hands."

As soon as this was said, everyone raised their hands.

Gu Xuantian knew he had completely lost.

His eyes red, he stood up and hurled the chair behind him towards Gu Mingming's seat.

"Gu! Ming! Ming!"

Knowing that the matter was settled, Gu Mingming no longer had his former cowardly demeanor.

He looked at the chair thrown at his feet and smirked: "Why the sudden fit of rage now that you know you've lost?"

"Gu, do you think I enjoy having the surname Gu?"

"Forget it, it's useless talking to you about this. Anyway, you have completely lost. From today onward, you will be kicked out of Gu Corporation."

Saying this, Gu Mingming said to Gu Xuantian with a malicious smile: "Don't worry, things aren't over here. Just wait, I will return everything you did to me, doubled."

Gu Xuantian shuddered violently and collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Shen Yan did not linger in the conference room.

He stood up and walked out of the conference room. As he passed by Gu Mingming, he whispered a sentence to him: "Handle your family matters first. Contact me after you've sorted them out."

Gu Mingming nodded.

After leaving Gu Corporation, Shen Yan returned home.

As soon as he arrived home, he saw Shen Ya watching the news. He asked Shen Ya with some surprise: "You're watching the news?"

Shen Ya nodded and replied: "Yes. Did you know the Chairman of Gu Corporation was arrested?"

"Oh my god, I can't believe the person I met not long ago was actually arrested and made the news..."

Shen Yan raised his eyebrows.

"You met him?"

Shen Ya nodded.

"Yes. A while ago, before I left, he called me into his office and asked if I wanted a promotion and a raise."

Saying this, she patted her chest full of relief.

"Luckily I didn't agree. If I had agreed, I would be implicated now, right?"

Hearing her question, Shen Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think."

"But his personal matters have no bearing on Gu Corporation. Gu Corporation is still clean."

Shen Ya looked doubtful.

"Really?"

"But if that were truly the case, why would he call me into his office for no reason to offer me a promotion and a raise?"

"I considered if it was because of you, but I felt it shouldn't be to that extent..."

Just as Shen Ya was hesitating uncertainly, Shen Yan walked over and patted her head.

"Alright, stop thinking about it."

"What's past is past. How is your work going at the Branch Company recently? Is there anything you need my help with?"

Shen Ya pouted.

"Didn't you say you trusted my abilities? Why are you questioning whether you need to help me now?"

Shen Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Can't you distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions? How is this questioning? I am asking you!"

Shen Ya said: "What's the difference between questioning and asking? Since you asked, it means you still don't trust my ability."

Shen Yan completely couldn't win the argument against her.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have asked you about this matter!"

Shen Ya stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, actually, there's really nothing I need your help with. If there's something Sister Xiaoya can't handle, she'll help me sort it out."

Saying this, her eyes shone with admiration.

"Sister Xiaoya is truly amazing! She is practically my life idol!"

Shen Yan blinked in confusion.

"Haven't you only worked together for a few days? How did she become your life idol?"

Shen Ya replied excitedly: "You have no idea how capable she is. Many things I couldn't handle, she helped me deal with them."

"Besides that, she's like she can read minds. Others haven't said anything, but she immediately guesses what that person is trying to do!"

Shen Yan: "... Actually, I'm also very capable. Do you want to praise me a little?"

Shen Ya gave him a look of disdain.

"Forget it. So many people praise you. If I praise you again, won't you fly to heaven?"

Shen Yan became displeased.

"When others do well, you praise them. When I do well, you tell me to keep a low profile. How can you be so double-standard?"
