Chapter 10 The Shareholders Didn't Show Up? Zheng Jie: But they sold the shares to me.

Watching the uncertain gloom on Father Zheng's face, Zheng Tian frowned deeply.

"Dad, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Zheng Tian's tone was filled with curiosity.

Hearing this, Father Zheng took a deep breath.

"Isn't it all because of your younger brother?"

"He suddenly went to the company today and said he wanted to convene a board meeting."

Father Zheng didn't know what Zheng Jie was thinking, suddenly calling for a board meeting out of the blue. Although he had given him a 10% stake, 10% alone couldn't stir up any waves in the boardroom. At this moment, Father Zheng suddenly realized something.

Could it be that Zheng Jie knew that the two families were celebrating the marriage of Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer today, and specifically came up with this method to disgust both families?

Thinking of this, Father Zheng felt even more dissatisfied.

"Convene a board meeting?"

"But doesn't the company policy state that only shareholders with 5% of the shares have the right to call for a board meeting?"

Zheng Tian didn't yet know that the family had given Zheng Jie a 10% stake to get him to agree to the divorce.

"To get Zheng Jie to divorce, your dad and I gave him a 10% stake."

Su Qiaoer, who was listening nearby, was slightly stunned.

A 10% stake?

Was it for this 10% stake that Zheng Jie agreed to divorce her so easily? Thinking of this, Su Qiaoer felt very uncomfortable.

She hadn't expected that in Zheng Jie's heart, she was only worth a 10% stake.

"Shares? Dad, how could you give him shares?"

Zheng Tian's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Shares? Why should he be given shares? A mere substitute of his actually deserved to own shares? And as much as 10%? Thinking of this, Zheng Tian was furious.

In his eyes, Zheng Jie shouldn't possess anything belonging to the Zheng family, because all of it belonged to him. Hearing this, Father Zheng sighed.

"Rest assured, Zheng Tian, he only has this 10%. All the remaining shares will belong to you and Su Qiaoer in the future."

Hearing this, Zheng Tian felt a little better.

After all, even if Zheng Jie was given 10%, his old man still held over 40%. If that was all given to him eventually, the majority of the family fortune would still be his.

"But, Dad, why is Zheng Jie suddenly calling a board meeting? Is it because he's unhappy about me and Su Qiaoer getting married, so he wants to..."

At this moment, Zheng Tian's tone was full of grievance. Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone present was no fool, and they all understood what Zheng Tian meant.

"It must be that."

"This child is truly ignorant."

"We shouldn't have let him come back from the countryside in the first place."

"Look at how much trouble he's caused since he came back."

Mrs. Zheng's tone was filled with indignation.

If Zheng Jie were to hear Mrs. Zheng's words, he would definitely be speechless. What trouble had he actually caused? Up until now, the only thing he had stirred up was this single board meeting.

"Zheng Tian, Su Qiaoer, it's fine. Once I get to the company, I will definitely give Zheng Jie a good talking to. I'll make him go abroad, so you two don't have to see him and be annoyed."

Father Zheng hurriedly comforted Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer. Hearing this, Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer looked at each other.

"Well... alright, Dad, let's go to the company together. I also want to see what Zheng Jie is actually trying to do... If Zheng Jie really feels that I took everything from him, I can apologize..."

Zheng Tian had truly been possessed by a green tea male spirit.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one who had his wife snatched away and his position as president stolen.

Hearing this, Father Zheng sighed. Looking at his considerate eldest son, and then thinking about how his second son had caused such a scene on this occasion, Father Zheng felt even more dissatisfied with Zheng Jie, feeling that he was nowhere near as good as his eldest son.

"Zheng Tian, you are still the sensible one."

"Alright, let's head over directly then."

The board of directors had a rule: whenever a board meeting was called, all directors, regardless of where they were, had to participate. Therefore, Father Zheng definitely had to go this time.

Watching everyone's departing figures, Su Qiaoer hesitated for a moment.

"I'll go too."

Just as well. She also wanted to see what Zheng Jie was actually trying to do.

Calling a board meeting at this time, Zheng Jie, are you trying to disgust me? You acted so indifferent a month ago, but now, you finally couldn't help yourself, could you?

"Alright, Su Qiaoer, you come with us too."

Zheng Tian thought for a moment and decided to take Su Qiaoer with him. Today, he wanted to provoke Zheng Jie at the board meeting. Trying to disgust him at this time was truly beneath contempt.

One could only say that Zheng Tian thought of Zheng Jie too simply.

Disgust? No. This time, Zheng Jie was going to make sure the position of Chairman of Zheng Group changed hands.

You won't give me the President position? Then I'll become the Chairman.

The group sat in the car and headed towards Zheng Group. About half an hour later, they got out of the car. At this moment, the Chairman's assistant was already waiting for them at the entrance.

"Where is that rebellious son?"

"Zheng Jie is in the conference room..."

"What a rebellious son. Giving him some shares, and he doesn't even know his own name anymore. I think he's got ideas in his head that he shouldn't have."

Father Zheng's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Perhaps the Second Young Master is feeling a bit uncomfortable and wants to vent."

After all, the President position was gone, his beloved woman had chosen to divorce him and follow his brother, and the project he had exhausted his efforts to pass had been suspended. If this were him, his mentality would definitely have exploded too.

Before, he had no choice but to swallow his anger, but now that he finally had some shares, he surely wanted to cause some disgust. However, the assistant also felt that Zheng Jie was just making a useless struggle.

What use was a mere 10% stake? It was just like a child venting their temper.

Exactly. Apart from Zheng Jie's own direct line, everyone else felt that he was just throwing a tantrum. Hardly anyone could imagine that this time, Zheng Jie was for real.

The group took the Chairman's private elevator and smoothly arrived at the top floor. Inside the conference room, Zheng Jie sat on the sofa, looking at the equity transfer documents Zhang Wei had just delivered, his lips curling up slightly.

Just at this moment, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance. Hearing the sound, Zheng Jie instinctively looked up. It was Father Zheng, Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Tian, and Su Qiaoer who walked in.

"Rebellious son, what on earth are you trying to do?"

"Do you know what day it is today?"

"I see you have the heart of a wolf, bullying your brother."

"How did I end up with a son like you?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jie raised his head and looked at Father Zheng.

"I bully him?"

"On the first day you returned to the country, what happened in Room 623 of the Hiers Hotel? I don't think I need to remind you two, do I?"

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Zheng Jie to know about this.

"If I remember correctly, that day was my birthday, and then Su Qiaoer, what did you tell me? Right, a company meeting."

"Isn't that so?"

Zheng Jie looked at Su Qiaoer, his face calm.

"Zheng Jie, I..."

Su Qiaoer wanted to explain, but thinking about what happened that day, she didn't know what to say, because that day, she really had engaged in some improper relations with Zheng Tian.

"Then you made me divorce her, and I agreed. Then, you used the board to remove me from my position as President. Over these years, I have worked diligently for our company, haven't I? Otherwise, would the company's market value have increased so quickly?"

"Just because he came back, the President position was given to him? Heh, favoritism. I've never seen anyone as biased as you."

Hearing this, Father Zheng's face was indifferent.

"So what?"

"Zheng Tian is the older brother, and everything in the family should be his."

"Let me tell you, other than this 10% stake, you will have nothing else. Do you understand?"

Everything should be his? Zheng Jie laughed upon hearing this. The Zheng Parents were indeed biased. No matter how well he did, there was no possibility of him inheriting the family business.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Li Shimin in ancient times chose to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident. If you won't give me what I want, then sorry, I'll just have to take it myself.

"Zheng Jie, I know you are unhappy, but... you can't say things like that and make Dad angry... After all, Dad is the one who gave you life, hurry up and apologize to Dad."

At this moment, Zheng Tian stepped forward. He was farming for favor. Perhaps in Zheng Tian's eyes, standing out at this moment could form a more obvious contrast with Zheng Jie, making his family value him even more.

"If you are really unhappy and really angry... how about this, I can give up the President position and return it to you, as long as you let me be with Su Qiaoer, okay?"

After saying this, Zheng Tian's eyes turned red and his voice trembled. Zheng Jie looked at Zheng Tian and smiled.

This person's acting was a bit mediocre. Because in his eyes, Zheng Jie saw triumph. It was too obvious.

"Zheng Tian, the President position is yours, and no one can take it away. Aren't you trying to hold a board meeting? Fine, I'll see what you can come up with at this board meeting."

At this moment, Father Zheng's face was filled with disdain. In his view, everything at Zheng Group was under his control. Even if Zheng Jie had shares, they were useless. He could even find a way to take those shares back. When the time came, he would let Zheng Jie know who the true master of the Zheng family was.

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"Zhang Wei, go invite the other directors in."

"Understood."

With that, Zhang Wei left the conference room.

At this time, Zheng Tian looked at Zheng Jie.

"Zheng Jie, stop messing around. Do you really want so many people to see us as a joke? Hurry up and apologize to Dad and Mom."

Zheng Tian said hypocritically. Hearing this, Zheng Jie looked at Zheng Tian.

"It will indeed make people see us as a joke."

"But as for who will be the joke... that's not necessarily certain."

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Wei brought in seven directors.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's start the meeting." Zheng Jie said, seeing that everyone had arrived. Beside him, Father Zheng frowned deeply.

"You don't even know the number of shareholders, and you're still holding a board meeting?"

"I see that's all you're capable of."

Father Zheng's tone was filled with mockery.

Hearing this, Zheng Jie turned his head and looked at him.

"Are you talking about those shareholders? But... they have already sold their shares to me."
