Talking about Gu Yu in front of her… was taboo. If she was unhappy with whatever they said and mentioned it in front of Zuo An, they would be badly affected.
Everyone stopped talking one after another. They even smiled at her to please her and greeted her.
When a new boss took office, there would definitely be changes immediately. They were Gu Yu’s old subordinates. They would definitely be the first to be kicked out. It was definitely not wrong to tuck their tails between their legs.
When she saw their smiling faces and greetings, Xu Weilai didn’t ignore them. She even returned a very friendly smile to them. Then, she lifted her feet and walked towards them.
At nine o’clock, the meeting room was filled with directors.
Because Gu Yu was absent, this meeting was hosted by Zuo An. Zuo An sat in Gu Yu’s seat, Zuo Si still sat on the right-hand side, and Xu Weilai sat in Zuo An’s previous seat, which was on the left-hand side of the main seat.
After all, her shareholding was on par with Zuo An.
Zuo An gave some symbolic opening remarks and Qiao Chu announced the start of the voting. After the directors had voted, he would count the votes and read out the final results.
The voting this time would be using their real names.
Zuo An’s meaning was very clear. Many of the directors of the Gu Corporation followed Gu Yu sincerely. Now, there were only two paths in front of them. Either they supported him, or they would hand over their shares and leave with money.
The business world had always been extremely cruel. During the change of the dynasty, no one could tolerate people who still wanted to stir up trouble.
The result of the dismissal of Gu Yu was very quickly announced. 80% of the board members passed —
The 20% of the board members who rejected the proposal had a do-or-die expression on their faces. They had followed the Gu family since Grandpa Gu was the boss. They had earned enough money over the years. The only thing left was the righteousness that couldn’t be exchanged with money.
To Zuo An, he only admired those who knew when to suit their actions to the times. He didn’t need to say anything to those who opposed him. He blacklisted all of them.
Qiao Chu clapped his hands. “The second vote is to vote for the new president of the Gu Corporation. Everyone can start now.”
Qiao Chu asked his subordinates to give each director a small card and a small envelope. He asked them to write the name of the person they chose on the small card and signed it.
This vote would still be using their real name.
Xu Weilai held the pen in her hand and lowered her head as she wrote on the small card. Her movements were extremely smooth.
Zuo Si was the first to finish writing. She lazily put the small card into the small envelope and raised her chin at Qiao Chu. She was as arrogant as ever.
Qiao Chu held the glass box and respectfully handed it to her. She didn’t even lift her eyelids as she threw the small envelope into it.
The other directors finished writing one after another and threw the envelope into the glass box.
Xu Weilai was mixed in the middle. Once the small envelope was thrown in, it was drowned in the box.
After collecting the cards, Qiao Chu walked to the end of the conference table and pulled down a discolored writing board. He picked up a black market pen, opened the envelope, and wrote the nominations on it.
Unsurprisingly, there were only two nominations basically, Zuo An and Zuo Si.
Below their names, one stroke after another was stacked. At first, they were evenly matched, but soon, the numbers leaned towards Zuo An.
In the glass box, there was only one small white envelope left. On the writing board, Zuo An’s strokes were already far ahead.
In other words, unless the last envelope contained a shareholder with more shareholdings and the person voted for Zuo Si… one could safely say that Zuo An was already the CEO of the Gu Corporation.
