My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 203: Emergency Meeting. (IV)

Everyone in the room was shocked after finding out that Xu Nuan is not the adopted daughter but the real heiress of the Gu family. The room fell into a thick silence as they hoped for someone to speak to break the ice.

It was awkward.

Who would have thought that the important announcement would be this? The highly laudable, pampered heiress of the Gu family would be fake.

Grandfather Gu ignored the gloomy expressions of Gu Zhang and didn’t heed Xingren’s stony-dark face as she held her face down, avoiding everyone’s gazes. He felt bad seeing her condition, but he needs to tell her that she needs to learn to accept the truth.

Unfortunately, things came out like this, but the truth cannot be hidden for long. She needs to accept this bitter truth and move on, that’s the best way to deal with the situation then keep on going to blame Xu Nuan and harm her.

She was acting like this because she thinks that no one can touch her and she can do anything to get what she wants. That’s why she deserves this harsh treatment, one-time pain won’t hurt much than the lifetime regret.

He can see her suffering and crying but doesn’t want her to turn into a monster who would not be able to make a return to her innocent self.

.....

” To officially make Gu Nuan the part of the Gu family, I, Gu Jianhong, The Chairman of the Gu Enterprises want to give her the 15% of the company’s shares as a gift. This is the gift to Gu Nuan from her Grandfather to welcome her into the family and the company.” He announced by looking at Xu Nuan with a gentle gaze.

Everyone: “....”

Xu Nuan was shocked and looked at him agape, wondering if she heard it right or not. However, more than her, Gu Zhang and Xingren were more shocked.

Grandfather Gu holds the maximum amount of shares in the company while Gu Zhang, despite being the President of the company holds only 10% of the shares. In this regard, Grandfather Gu holds extreme power in the company for not only being the chairman of the board of directors but as the largest shareholder of the company as well.

Following him, Xingren holds only 4% of the company’s shares that she was gifted on her 18th birthday. Knowing that he gave Xu Nuan 15% shares of the company is ridiculous, what did she do to deserve such privilege?

” Father, How can you make such a decision? 15%? What will she do with such a big amount of shares in the company?” He asked in shock.

For being the largest shareholder after Gu Jianhong, Xu Nuan could participate in the important decisions of the company and will have a firm say in the decisions than Gu Zhang or Xingren.

Even if Xingren gets to hold any important position in the company, Xu Nuan will have more say in this than Xingren itself. That’s equivalent to having no power in your hands.

The board of directors’ eyes widened upon hearing his decision. ” Mr. Gu, I don’t think here everyone will support this decision of yours. Having the largest number of shares also means having the biggest responsibility. In the future board of directors meetings, what can this girl suggest and decide as being the biggest shareholder after you?” One of the men questioned.

” We get it that she is your granddaughter and you want to spoil her by giving her so many shares, for that a few shares will be good. But 15% of the company’s shares is too much, that’s ridiculous.”

Xingren gritted her teeth and was already losing her cool but the support from the Board of directors was giving her some relaxation. Even if her identity has been revealed, these oldies won’t accept Xu Nuan as the successor of the company who has never completed her studies nor has seen the workings of the company?

‘Situation is still under control Xingren.’ she repeated in her head and took a deep breath to attain mental peace.

–

” Mr. Gu, we’re afraid that you can’t do that. Today you want to make her the second next major shareholder in the company, later you will insist on making her the successor of Gu Enterprises. We don’t want that kind of situation.” Mr. Xin who was looking down on Xu Nuan since the meeting started spoke again.

However, this time everyone agreed to his words. He was right, how can they let a girl who has grown up in the orphanage, have zero knowledge of the company and business can own such a big part of the shares of the company.

” Yes, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Xin is right. Ms. Xingren might not be the blood of the Gu family but she has proved her intellect knowledge after graduating from school with top rank and has cleared the entrance exam of Xin Lin with flying colors. We have only seen her at the 35th-anniversary banquet and the way she arranged the whole party herself is commendable.”

“Not only that, she has been learning the work for years now and has friendly relations with employees as well. She is so young yet she has gained so many things. She deserves to succeed the company and lead everyone.”

” More than that, she has a business insight that can bring the company to new heights. We hope you will consider your decision and think about the company first then your household affairs.” Another investor added.

Mr. Xin leaned forwards and added while trying to be as polite as possible, ” If Xu Nuan hadn’t shown attitude to Mr. Yang, Ms. Gu would have successfully gotten the investment and would have been working on her new project. The launch of the new brand of Gu’s would have profited the company and joining hands with one of the biggest, popular clothing brands, it would have increased our target and helped us brand to get popular as well.”

” That’s why in my opinion, it’s not suitable to give this many shares to someone who isn’t befitted for this responsibility. It’s not only about shares or money but about the responsibility that comes with it.”

Everyone agreed and nodded at his statement.

However, Xu Nuan’s lips pursed into a thin line upon seeing the way he addressed her. He called her Xu Nuan and addressed Gu Xingren as Ms. Gu. He is blatantly disagreeing to accept her as Gu.

Hah. She doesn’t care about titles or his acceptance of her but the attitude was putting her off.

Grandfather Gu pursed his lips and kept his calm seeing everyone’s protest. He had expected this already. However, their remarks were still too much and he got worried that Xu Nuan might feel distressed and nervous upon seeing everyone protesting against her but when he glanced at her, he was surprised to see her scoffing smirk.

” So you all think that partnering with YJ corporations would have been a good idea and had profited the company? Breaking the ties with YJ corporations and not getting the investment looks like a loss for you?” Xu Nuan who was silent until now turned to Mr. Xin and spoke in a chilling-cold voice, with slight mocking along with it.

Mr. Xin who had asked the question frowned and glanced at Grandfather Gu who was also surprised at Xu Nuan’s response.

He pursed his lips and turned to her, ” Of course! It would have benefited the company. Clothing is the most popular and profitable industry at the moment and it was one of the industries in which Gu enterprises is not involved.”

“It would not only have expanded our business field but it would have also increased our consumer reach as well. Since YJ corporations are popular for their trendy clothing brand, it would have helped us to get some of their popularity and would have introduced us to their buyers.” He responded calmly with professionalism.

After speaking, there was a proud smirk on his face after defeating Xu Nuan who was trying to be smart. The other investors nodded at him, signaling him that he did well and there is no need to go easy on this cunning girl.

A deep frown appeared on Yuhan’s face seeing everyone attacking Xu Nuan. He was still shocked after knowing the truth that Xu Nuan is the real Gu and the girl with whom he was supposed to be engaged.

But at this moment, seeing everyone looking at her with their ‘looking down’ gazes was making him irritated. She already suffered by living as an adopted daughter for so long and yet they’re acting as if she is robbing them by taking what she deserves.
