Chapter 1591: You Are My Little Love Song (158)
Shi Niange didn’t remember how long it had been since she slept. She didn’t know if it was daytime in the United States or nighttime in China. In short, she sat in the hospital ward like this. From time to time, someone would come over and stop by her side. She would ask around and occasionally answer. Occasionally, she would sit silently.
Her father had woken up once during the day. The anesthesia had worn off, and the wounds on his body were painful. However, his legs were numb and he could not feel anything. Not long after he woke up, several directors of the company surrounded the bed. Afterward, the doctor came in and chased them away. When Shi Niange entered the ward, she sat by the bed and looked at her father.
Father Shi laid there silently and looked at her.
Father and daughter looked at each other in silence.
Afterward, when she returned to the breakroom, she just stared out of the window without speaking.
In the evening, the shareholders of Shida Group had all arrived at the hospital. The few shareholders were the founding members of the company. They were the ones who had built the company with her parents back then. Their words were heavy. Even her uncles did not dare to offend them. They tried their best to give in and tolerate.
However, in the past two days, something had happened to the Shi family. The chairman had been hospitalized with serious injuries, while the vice-president had suddenly passed away. The shareholders had a lot of disagreements, and they were like branches of a tree. As soon as the problem was resolved, another conflict appeared on the other side.
They began arguing outside the hospital ward.
“I don’t have much money recently. How can I take out 500 million yuan with such a friendship? This isn’t a joke.”
An old man with gray sideburns wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a gray suit. He was one of Shida Group’s largest shareholders. Everyone called him Chairman Xiao and said, “One hundred million yuan. If we put it together, we might still have it. Five hundred million yuan. Where can we find it? Mining?”
“Of course, 100 million yuan isn’t a problem for you,” another board member said. “I remember that not long ago, you just bought a farm for your eldest son in Australia. The location of the villa you bought for your youngest son in New York last month should be worth at least 100 million yuan, right? Of course, this is your legitimate income. We didn’t express any opinions, nor did we say that something had happened to the Shida Group. The funds were not flowing smoothly, so we had to make you pay. But in this situation, if this drags on, I’m afraid that before the chairman can stand up, the company will be declared bankrupt.”
“What are you talking about?” someone whispered. “Don’t speak nonsense. The chairman’s legs are already…”
They fell silent.
Indeed.
Their chairman’s legs were already crippled. In the future, he would have to sit in a wheelchair. How could they wait for the day he stood up?
Chairman Xiao did not listen. He continued with ease: “To be honest, at our age, the risks we have to consider are definitely higher than young people these days. It’s not that we don’t want to fork out this sum of money, but the amount is too large. We won’t be able to fork out so much in such a short time.”
The man on the other side exchanged glances with the others and asked with a cold smile, “Chairman Xiao, do you think that the company no longer has a leader and the entire company is about to be ruined, so you plan on withdrawing your cards?”
“No, no. We’ve been with Shida Group for so many years. The company has always been supported by one hand. How can we retreat?”
“Then what are your plans?”
Chairman Xiao smiled. The corners of his eyes were as sharp as knives. He said, “I have a condition. Transfer half of the shares in Vice President Yang and Miss Shi’s hands to me, and I’ll take three hundred million. This way, I’ll become the chairman.”
They looked at him knowingly.
So this was his plan.
Chairman Xiao had heard from somewhere that eighteen percent of Shida Group’s shares were with Chairman Shi and Vice President Yang’s daughter, Shi Niange. It seemed that this was a confidentiality agreement of the company. Not many people knew, but Chairman Xiao actually knew.
In addition to the shares that Vice President Yang had transferred from Chairman Shi to her, the biggest director of the company had always been Vice President Yang. Now, all of this would probably fall on their daughter.
If he asked for half of the shares, in addition to Chairman Xiao’s 20% shares, he would naturally become the company’s largest chairman.
They did not speak further. After all, this was not something they could decide.
However, in the blink of an eye, they saw a young lady standing between the injection room and the lounge door, looking at them calmly.
“Who is this person?”
“I don’t know. I’ve been seeing her in the hospital for the past two days. It seems like she’s been here the whole time.”
“Which family’s child is this? Why is she scaring people like a ghost in the hospital every day? If she’s sick, she should treat her illness properly. If she’s not sick, she should go home and not stand here listening to people speak?” Chairman Xiao glared at her with a slightly embarrassed expression and then turned to leave.
At this moment, Shi Niange walked over. “Hello, Chairman Xiao. My surname is Shi. My name is Shi Niange.”
Their expressions and movements faltered. Chairman Xiao’s expression instantly cracked. He abruptly turned to look at the young girl.
Shi Niange?
After learning that she had a portion of the shares, they had secretly investigated her. Of course, they knew that Shi Niange was the Shi family’s young lady.
Shi Niange looked at Chairman Xiao indifferently.
Chairman Xiao thought that she must have heard their conversation and his expression became uncomfortable.
Shi Niange only glanced at him and the other indifferently. She didn’t say another word and left. After walking to the door of her father’s ward, she spoke to Wen Ke, the assistant of the company who had been guarding the door for several days, and asked Wen Ke to check if her mother had left any insurance documents or shares transfer documents when she was alive.
She had never thought about these things in the past, but after listening to their conversation, she suddenly realized that someone as smart as her mother should have noticed that these people were eyeing her covetously. Then, after she learned that she was sick, she should have made some preparations.
Wen Ke looked at her in surprise and said, “There’s no need to investigate, Miss Shi. Vice President Yang did transfer all the shares and assets under her name to you when she was alive.”
Shi Niange looked at him and took a deep breath. “So?”
“So, you are now the largest shareholder of Shida Group. After all, you still have some shares in your hands. In total, you have already surpassed your father, Chairman Shi,” Wen Ke said softly. “But in order to ensure your safety, when Vice President Yang did these things, she didn’t tell anyone. I’ve been with Vice President Yang and Chairman Shi for many years. She’s more at ease with me, so only I know about this matter. The documents are still in the company, in the safe in her office. After the hospital matters are settled, I’ll hand them to you.”
