142: Master the Weaknesses of the Rich

“Gao Ze was the one Jiang Qianyu invited to deal with Jiang Ruiming!”

“This Jiahua shareholder resolution was not authorized by Chairman Jiang Wenhao, but was Jiang Qianyu’s independent action!”

After hearing Jiang Qianyu’s voice, every Jiahua shareholder in the Dragon and Phoenix Private Room of the Peace Hotel showed surprised expressions, looking at Jiang Qianyu in disbelief.

Although she, like Jiang Ruiming, had inheritance rights to Jiahua Group, with her meager shares, how could she possibly contend with Jiang Ruiming? Even Chairman Jiang Wenhao was no match for him.

And she dared to hold a Jiahua shareholder resolution without authorization!

Had Jiang Qianyu gone mad?

And inviting Officer Gao, a police officer, was her brain addled?

Did she really think that because Officer Gao had arrested the billionaire Zheng Jiasheng, he could intimidate or even arrest them?

“Miss Jiang, you are very bold. I can’t imagine that this shareholder resolution was initiated by you!”

Li Guobang, Jiahua’s Chief Financial Officer, stood up from his seat, a cold smile on his lips: “But what makes you think you can make us abandon our support for Young Master Jiang Ruiming?

His ability is far superior to yours; he can lead our Jiahua to create better performance, even surpass Jiang Wenhao’s leadership, and restore Jiahua to its peak strength.”

“Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, you only hold 2% of Jiahua’s shares. What good is that?

Can it influence us?”

Jiang Qianyu calmly looked at the agitated Li Guobang. Li Guobang was a staunch supporter of her elder brother, Jiang Ruiming. She said:

“You are right, my mere 2% Jiahua shares cannot influence the current situation at all, because the shares you all support my elder brother with have already reached 52%, exceeding half.”

“My ability is also inferior to my elder brother’s, I admit that. If it were me, I certainly couldn’t scheme against my father, Jiang Wenhao, and force him out!”

“However—I have Mr. Gao’s help!”

Gao Ze!

Li Guobang, Jiang Wenmin, Zhou Xiaodong, Xu Yan, and the other shareholders all looked over simultaneously, their brows furrowing.

“How can Officer Gao help you? He is a public servant, not like us business people, and besides, Officer Gao’s position isn’t even high!”

Li Guobang’s gaze sharply scrutinized Gao Ze, his tone not at all polite.

However, Gao Ze knew that this was not only Li Guobang’s thought but also the thought of the other shareholders present.

Li Guobang showed no respect for him, while Jiang Wenmin, Zhou Xiaodong, and those other shareholders showed superficial respect, but their actual attitudes were the same.

Jiang Qianyu looked at Gao Ze upon hearing this; even she didn't know how Gao Ze would actually help her.

But Gao Ze had always been confident, and she chose to trust him.

Now, how would Mr. Gao help her?

A hint of expectation arose in Jiang Qianyu’s heart, but she found that Gao Ze didn’t speak. Could it be that Gao Ze also had no solution, and today was just an absurd and ridiculous meeting?

However, just then, a strong, resonant voice rang out in the private room. Chen Zhending stood up and said:

“I withdraw my support for Jiang Ruiming. I support Miss Jiang Qianyu!”

“Mr. Chen, what are you joking about?”

Li Guobang, Jiang Wenmin, and the others instantly looked at Chen Zhending. Such a change caught them off guard, and their faces showed astonishment.

“Mr. Chen, if you support Young Master Jiang Ruiming, once Young Master Jiang becomes Chairman of Jiahua Group, you will receive many rewards, which will also benefit your Hengli Group!”

“What are benefits and rewards?”

“Officer Gao saved my life. Can these benefits be more important than my life?”

Chen Zhending waved his hand, disdainfully saying: “We are men of Lucheng; from a young age, righteousness comes first. Since Officer Gao supports Miss Jiang, then I must support Miss Jiang no matter what!”

“Director Li, go back and tell Young Master Jiang Ruiming that our agreed-upon contract is void!”

Jiang Qianyu’s eyes immediately lit up. Although Chen Zhending’s 2% shares in Jiahua were not many, if her elder brother Jiang Ruiming lost the support of these 2% staunch shares, his shares would drop to 50%.

If it dropped by another 1%, Jiang Ruiming would not be able to take over Jiahua Group.

Gao Ze’s help was indeed useful. Jiang Qianyu also understood now why Chen Zhending would come to the appointment upon hearing Gao Ze’s name—it wasn’t just to help, but because he had saved his life.

“I never expected this!”

Li Guobang, Jiang Wenmin, and the others looked at Gao Ze, their expressions becoming solemn.

They had greatly underestimated Gao Ze’s influence, and the series of variables this brought about were extremely terrifying, because since ancient times, a coup could only be attempted once; if it failed, there would be a reckoning.

Jiang Ruiming had been planning for many years, just to seize his father Jiang Wenhao’s position today.

But Jiang Wenhao had managed Jiahua Group for over twenty years; his power and influence were deeply rooted, so how could it be so easily seized?

If Jiang Ruiming’s shares dropped to 49% or even lower, he would certainly provoke a counterattack from Chairman Jiang Wenhao, and it was very likely he would be kicked out of Jiahua Group, completely losing his right of inheritance.

“Can I talk to you all privately?”

Gao Ze smiled, pointing to the landscape screen behind the round dining table, and said: “I specifically asked Miss Jiang to arrange a meeting suite within the private room, right behind the screen, Mr. Jiang Wenmin?”

Upon hearing his name mentioned, Jiang Wenmin’s brow furrowed even deeper.

“Why talk in the suite within the private room? Is there something that can’t be seen?”

Li Guobang felt very uncomfortable; it seemed as if Gao Ze had taken control, and they could only passively follow along.

Jiang Wenmin nodded and said: “That’s right, negotiations can be conducted openly. Mr. Gao, just speak directly if you have something to say to me!”

“Are you sure?”

“Then I’ll speak!” Gao Ze chuckled softly, and slowly said: “Mr. Jiang, in May of the year before last, at Jiahe Group, you had your secretary…”

“Stop—”

Upon hearing the words “May of the year before last,” Jiang Wenmin’s face turned pale. He dared not meet Gao Ze’s deep eyes, and sheepishly said:

“I think some matters are better discussed privately. I’ll go into the suite with Officer Gao to talk.”

After speaking, he immediately stepped ahead, crossing behind the screen first and walking to the entrance of the private room’s suite, waiting for Gao Ze.

Gao Ze turned to look at the bewildered expressions of the surrounding shareholders and Jiang Qianyu, and said: “Miss Jiang, you come along too!”

“I’m coming!” Following Gao Ze into the private room’s suite with strong curiosity, Jiang Qianyu’s heart secretly fluttered. She probably would soon see the reason why Mr. Gao had the confidence to help her.

“Officer Gao, what do you know about me from May of the year before last?”

The meeting suite within the private room was spacious, with an antique tea table and chairs in the center. Jiang Wenmin sat down on a chair, his eyes cautiously probing.

“Could it be that Mr. Jiang thinks I’m bluffing you?”

Gao Ze smiled faintly and said: “Of course I know about your embezzlement of Jiahua company funds!”
