144: Jiang Qianyu was shocked by the victory

Mr. Zhou is indeed not an easy person to convince!

Gao Ze observed the handsome middle-aged man in front of him, who at forty still exuded an elegant demeanor. Zhou Xiaodong was right; he truly was as self-disciplined and principled as he claimed, never having done anything against his conscience.

Therefore, within the intelligence system,

Gao Ze found no secret weaknesses concerning Zhou Xiaodong, such as corruption or extramarital affairs.

According to the intelligence system, Zhou Xiaodong's support for Jiang Ruiming was due to receiving a Ming Dynasty painting worth twenty million from Jiang Ruiming.

However, a twenty-million-yuan antique painting was merely a normal gift for a wealthy businessman like Zhou Xiaodong, whose net worth was in the billions; it held no other significance.

In other words,

Zhou Xiaodong, as a shareholder of Jiahua, supported Jiang Ruiming primarily due to his subjective decision, simply because he favored Jiang Ruiming or admired his capabilities.

"A straight body casts no crooked shadow!"

Hearing Gao Ze's words, Zhou Xiaodong smiled faintly with a hint of pride, sat down in front of Gao Ze, calmly lit a cigarette, and said, "I conduct myself with integrity, adhere to public order and conscience, so naturally, I have no fear of you, Officer Gao!"

"Of course, in fact, I hope there are more people like Mr. Zhou, and there's no need to fear me!"

Gao Ze also smiled and said to Zhou Xiaodong, "But does Mr. Zhou really have to support Jiang Ruiming?"

"I don't care who inherits Jiahua Group, but Miss Jiang's ability is not on par with Young Master Jiang's!"

Zhou Xiaodong glanced at Jiang Qianyu and said bluntly:

"Young Master Jiang and I have no personal relationship; we've only discussed many future development plans for Jiahua Group. In my opinion, Young Master Jiang is very capable and not an ordinary idler. His actions and thoughts are very insightful.

Miss Jiang is more than capable of being a conservative leader, but she still lacks the ability to lead Jiahua out of the sluggish market oscillation period."

"As Jiahua's largest private shareholder, Jiahua's profits concern my interests. I will only choose a chairman who brings me greater benefits!"

Jiang Qianyu suddenly clenched her fingers, a flicker of anger and dejection flashing across her delicate face.

She indeed was slightly inferior to her elder brother Jiang Ruiming in terms of ability, which even she had to admit. At least, she would have difficulty achieving the success of the allied shareholders in their near-successful attempt to force her father, Jiang Wenhao, out.

"I disagree with Mr. Zhou's view!" Gao Ze shook his head.

"How so?" Zhou Xiaodong turned his head to look. Gao Ze's ability to force Jiang Wenmin, Li Guobang, and Xu Yan, three shareholders, to switch their support to Jiang Qianyu already showed his extraordinary capability, worthy of his serious attention.

"Jiang Ruiming and Jiang Qianyu are not the same age, nor have they been rooted in Jiahua Group for the same amount of time, and Jiang Wenhao's cultivation of the two is even more different!"

Gao Ze said, "Jiang Ruiming is already twenty-nine, four years older than Jiang Qianyu, and has spent four more years at Jiahua. Jiang Wenhao favors sons over daughters, and his heart leans more towards cultivating Jiang Ruiming to take charge of Jiahua.

Under such circumstances, Miss Jiang can still maintain her influence and power at Jiahua, and even firmly secure her right of inheritance, which is already extraordinary!

If she were given four more years to grow, I believe she could surpass Jiang Ruiming!"

Zhou Xiaodong glanced at Jiang Qianyu again, nodding seriously, "Indeed possible, but Miss Jiang no longer has time."

"Jiang Qianyu has no time, but she has me. I will help her bridge the gap in growth between her and Jiang Ruiming!"

A calm yet powerful voice echoed in the suite, and Jiang Qianyu's eyes instantly reddened.

When everyone else was unable to help her, only Gao Ze extended a helping hand. When everyone else denied her abilities, only Gao Ze believed her abilities would become stronger.

Zhou Xiaodong still said, "Officer Gao, I admit that what you have done for Miss Jiang has already disrupted Young Master Jiang Ruiming's plan, but once I make a decision, I will not easily change it!"

"You said 'easily,' which means that as long as the stakes are high enough, they can win you over!"

Zhou Xiaodong was indeed the most difficult shareholder to conquer; he had no secret weaknesses. However, Gao Ze knew from the intelligence system that he had a missing daughter.

"Mr. Zhou, I know you have a missing daughter!"

In an instant,

Zhou Xiaodong's expression changed dramatically, finally understanding how Jiang Wenmin, Li Guobang, and the other shareholders must have felt.

He had never revealed this secret, and the only people who knew were his immediate family.

"So what?"

Zhou Xiaodong looked directly at Gao Ze with sharp eyes and said, "Does Officer Gao have a lead? If so, I can indeed change my decision!"

"I have no leads; I don't know where your missing daughter is!"

Gao Ze said, "But I can give you a promise: I will help you find your missing daughter!"

"If Mr. Zhou doesn't believe in my abilities, you can search online for my past cases. Cases I've been involved in have never remained unsolved to this day.

If I help you, your chances of finding your daughter will greatly increase."

"I've seen Officer Gao's trending news online!"

Zhou Xiaodong's face showed some hesitation. He was aware of Gao Ze's formidable ability. With his help, there would indeed be much more hope for his daughter.

"Alright, I agree. I will give up supporting Jiang Ruiming and support Miss Jiang."

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Zhou Xiaodong still made his decision.

"I will help make your decision worthwhile!"

Gao Ze patted Zhou Xiaodong's shoulder, stood up, and walked out of the suite, saying, "Now, let's go see Gu Shaoyin, the representative of the joint small shareholders. Only she hasn't expressed her stance yet."

Jiang Qianyu quickly followed him out, full of confidence in Gao Ze.

Uncle Jiang Wenmin was stubborn, Li Guobang was a chaotic rogue, and Zhou Xiaodong was self-disciplined, yet they were all subdued. How could Gu Shaoyin resist?

"Officer Gao, are you thirsty? Would you like something to drink?"

As Gao Ze walked out of the suite behind the screen, Jiang Wenmin, Li Guobang, and others eagerly asked, their eyes glancing at Zhou Xiaodong.

Although Zhou Xiaodong's face wasn't as pale and crestfallen as theirs when they emerged, his absent-minded demeanor suggested he, too, had likely been subdued by Gao Ze.

"No need!"

Gao Ze waved his hand and, getting straight to the point, said to Gu Shaoyin at the round dining table:

"Miss Gu, apart from you, all the shareholders here have given up supporting Jiang Ruiming and are now supporting Miss Jiang. What is your stance?"

Gu Shaoyin's heart suddenly trembled. She widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Wenmin, Li Guobang, Xu Yan, Zhou Xiaodong, and others. Seeing their silence, she immediately understood what was happening.

At this moment,

Lili, who had been observing the situation in the private room, was also shocked.

Gao Ze had actually helped Jiang Qianyu win over shareholders like Jiang Wenmin and Zhou Xiaodong. The shares held by these people combined amounted to 24%, almost half of Jiang Ruiming's supported shares.

It could be said that Jiang Ruiming's years of planning had now completely disintegrated.

He was no longer able to become Jiahua's chairman, and Jiang Qianyu would also become a new, influential group within Jiahua Group.

"Mr. Gao really did it for me!"

Jiang Qianyu stood behind Gao Ze, a glimmer in her beautiful eyes, her inner turmoil no less than Gu Shaoyin's and Lili's, perhaps even stronger.

Because she had witnessed firsthand how Gao Ze helped her win over these shareholders.

Although she had no idea how Gao Ze knew the secret weaknesses of those shareholders, he was helping her, and he had already succeeded in thwarting Jiang Ruiming's plans, allowing her to remain in Jiahua Group.

"I also give up supporting Jiang Ruiming and switch my support to Miss Jiang."

Gu Shaoyin knew she had no choice and quickly made her decision.

Through Gao Ze's methods, Jiang Ruiming was now unable to take over Jiahua and would also face liquidation and expulsion from Jiahua by Chairman Jiang Wenhao. As someone originally from Jiang Ruiming's camp, she could only unite with Jiang Qianyu to avoid being liquidated by Chairman Jiang Wenhao.

Qing Yan truly found a treasure of a husband.

Gazing at Gao Ze's body, which stood in front of her, Jiang Qianyu felt a desire to rush forward and possess him. She said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Gao!"

"It's too early to thank me now. Call your brother, Jiang Ruiming."

Gao Ze said to Jiang Qianyu, "Arrange for him to bring the shareholder representatives of the venture capital institutions to Peace Hotel tonight. I'll help you talk to him and acquire his other shares!"

"Ah?"
