68: Chapter 68 The Company That Was Hijacked by Victor Anfei
Victor Anfei definitely hadn't expected things to develop to this point.
If he had known earlier that Xia Wei and Robinson were in cahoots, he absolutely would not have gone to Xia Wei for help.
He must have been possessed. If it weren't for the sake of revenge, he never would have resorted to such a desperate move.
"Xia Wei, I only gave you 50% of the shares. How did you manage to get 75%?"
Victor said angrily.
"Mr. Victor, your brain really isn't just for show, is it? Isn't it obvious? Surely, your company's senior management sold the shares to me. It's not like I could have just snatched them, could I?"
Victor gritted his teeth. Was the Victor Group, which his family had built with such painstaking effort, really going to end up as someone else's prize?
Thinking of this, he felt he had to put up a fight.
"Everyone, think about it. If Xia Wei takes over, what will happen to the company? Look at how her own company's employees describe her: cold-blooded and ruthless. A female monster! Once she takes over the company, do you think you'll have any good days left? You must consider the consequences."
Hearing this, Xia Wei curled her lip.
Calling Victor stupid was no exaggeration at all. Was saying all this useful now? She already held the majority of their family's shares.
Xia Wei's gaze fell upon Victor Anfei.
"Mr. Victor Anfei, don't bother with those futile struggles. I am now the largest shareholder of your company. Nothing you say now will make a difference."
Damn Xia Wei.
Victor Anfei cursed inwardly. If it weren't for this woman secretly tripping him up at every turn, he never would have ended up in this predicament.
Given that Xia Wei held so many shares, the shareholders gradually stopped resisting. After all, Xia Wei's company was doing very well. If following her meant making money, they didn't really care.
As senior executives of this company, they were fully aware of the state of the Victor Group. Ever since someone named Robinson appeared, their company's operations had been steadily declining. It felt like it wouldn't be long before the company announced its bankruptcy.
Perhaps to some, their choice might not seem wise. But at least Xia Wei's business was doing very well, while everyone knew the Victor Group was in a bind, as if stuck in a dead end. Since they knew the road ahead was a dead end, why not take a fork in the road?
"I'm willing. I'm willing to let Miss Xia take over our company." Just then, a middle-aged man raised his hand and said.
"Shen Feng, what are you doing? Do you know what you're doing right now? Our company has never treated you poorly. You can't do this; if you do, you're a traitor. You're betraying this company."
Victor Anfei, seeing someone lead the way, felt a surge of rage rush to his head. He really wanted to kill them.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Victor, but we are all aware of the company's situation. If things continue like this, we might not even be able to support our families. I still have to raise my children and send them abroad for their studies. I need money; I can't keep dragging this out."
Shen Feng lowered his head, avoiding Victor Anfei's gaze.
Clap, clap, clap.
Xia Wei led the applause.
"Well done, Mr. Shen. After all, a wise person submits to circumstances. You are the first person to support me in taking over this company. Rest assured, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Miss Xia, I'm also willing to work for you."
"Miss Xia..."
One by one, the company's executives stood up, each expressing their willingness to follow Xia Wei's orders.
"Very good, very good. Don't rush; I won't be leaving anytime soon. One by one, please." Xia Wei nodded with satisfaction.
She thought to herself, Robinson really has a way with things. In one fell swoop, he struck at the very foundation of the Victor Family.
"You, all of you, you've betrayed me! You won't have a good end..." Victor Anfei roared uncontrollably.
"Mr. Victor, please stop. Everyone is just trying to make a living. If it weren't for the pressures of life, who would be willing to do something like this?" Shen Feng said coldly.
Victor Anfei treated them inconsistently. When he was in a good mood, he treated them like people. When he was in a bad mood, he treated them like punching bags. The board members in the company had always been afraid to speak out against him. After all, it was his family's company. In truth, they had long been sick of him.
"You..." Victor Anfei was left speechless by Shen Feng's words. He was so angry he couldn't get a word out.
"Mr. Victor, I am now formally notifying you. As the largest shareholder of the company, I am officially removing you from your position as Executive President of the Victor Group." Xia Wei sat in the boss's chair and said this nonchalantly.
"Xia Wei, what right do you have to do this? You should know that I am still a shareholder of this company. I do not agree with this decision; I do not accept it."
Victor Anfei violently swept everything off the desk onto the floor.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Victor, let me remind you: you will have to pay for everything you broke today at its original price." Xia Wei said coldly and ruthlessly.
"Xia Wei, I, Victor Anfei, admit defeat. You just wait. I will never let you off."
Victor Anfei clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his hands bulged. Deep within his eyes, a flicker of murderous intent flashed.
Suddenly, he smiled slightly at Xia Wei, trying his best to suppress his anger.
"Miss Xia, I was too emotional just now. How about this? I'll ask Xu He to bring out my prized wine. Let's celebrate Miss Xia taking control of the Victor Group right here."
Victor said haltingly.
"Alright! Since this is your kind gesture, I will accept it."
Victor Anfei waved his hand, telling Xu He to go get the wine he had treasured for many years.
The moment he saw Xu He leave, a flash of cruelty crossed Victor Anfei's eyes.
Xia Wei, I want you dead!
Xia Wei looked at Victor Anfei, thinking to herself that this guy seemed unusually patient today. If she had provoked him like this in the past, he would have exploded long ago. She didn't expect him to celebrate for her; it was truly baffling.
However, she had come this time to resolve the issue with Victor Anfei once and for all. Someone like Victor Anfei, who was always capable of causing trouble—if she didn't deal with him early, there would be endless trouble in the future.
Before long, Xu He brought the wine over.
Victor Anfei ordered him to pour two glasses of wine and bring them over, then handed one of the glasses to Xia Wei.
"Miss Xia, I toast you with this glass of wine. Our business won't end like this. I look forward to clashing with you again next time. By the next time, I won't make such stupid mistakes again."
After saying this, Victor Anfei downed the wine in one go.
"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll be waiting and watching."
Xia Wei sneered and raised the glass, preparing to drink. Through the transparent glass, she saw a trace of smugness flash in Victor Anfei's eyes. She knew this matter wasn't that simple. It was better to be cautious.
