As soon as Cheng Guangtian entered the door, he was all smiles.
"Sister-in-law, you said you were coming today, but why didn't you say hello in advance?"
Ning Kezhu had no expression on his face, just nodded and said: "Sooner or later, I have to come to the company to give an explanation. After all, your eldest brother's current situation is not very good."
When Cheng Guangtian heard this, he quickly changed his expression to a concerned one and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, how is my elder brother?
You said that we knew something had happened to our eldest brother the day before yesterday and rushed to the hospital immediately.
However, Xiaoyu didn't give any face to that kid. He drove us all away and his words were not pleasant..."
Ning Kezhu interrupted Cheng Guangtian coldly and said, "Okay, I'm not here to hear you complain to me about my son.
Everything Yu'er does is with my permission. Otherwise, no matter how bold Yu'er is with so many elders, he won't do that.
I didn’t want you to go in at that time, there were so many people, why didn’t you think it was not bad enough that your eldest brother was lying on the hospital bed?”
Cheng Guangtian had a sarcastic look on his face, and Cheng Ran quickly gave his father a gentle push to signal him to stop talking.
Then, Cheng Ran forced a smile and said: "Auntie, when my dad learned about my uncle's affairs, he was also anxious and didn't think much about it for a while.
The love between brothers is so deep, how could he not rush to the hospital as soon as possible? He didn't expect that those people in the company would rush there so quickly..."
Cheng Mo also helped: "Yes, auntie, actually we regretted it after we arrived.
Of course we knew that something had happened to our uncle and he definitely needed to rest. If we hadn't been there at that time, the shareholders and senior executives would have rushed in without being able to protect themselves.
Then our family discussed it and thought that when we arrived, no matter what, we should see the uncle to understand the situation and know what we should do next."
Ning Kezhu raised his head, looked at Cheng Mo with a hint of scrutiny, and suddenly smiled.
"Understand the situation and see what to do next. Well, this answer is really good."
As soon as Cheng Ran heard Ning Kezhu's tone, she knew that her brother had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't get me wrong. When Xiao Mo said the follow-up, he was referring to his family and has nothing to do with the company."
"Master Cheng is in charge of the company, so I'm afraid you won't be able to get your hands on it."
Seeing this, Cheng Guangtian took advantage of every opportunity and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, let me tell you, Mr. Cheng has been using chicken feathers as arrows these past two days.
He insisted that it was clearly written in the company's regulations that the chairman was temporarily unable to handle company affairs, and the chairman's assistant had the authority to handle all matters with funds not exceeding 30 million.
Now, we only want to help our eldest brother keep the group in mind, but we don't have that opportunity.
This guy, Master Cheng, can’t even be trusted by our Cheng family!”
In response to this, Ning Kezhu raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not express an opinion. She was thinking about what Cheng Yu had told her - the most worrying thing for the entire Cheng family was not Cheng Guangtian's family, but Cheng Fu.
.
At that time, Ning Kezhu also felt that although Cheng Guangle and Cheng Yi had done something they shouldn't have done, they had been sent out by Cheng Guangnian because of it, and Cheng Yu seemed to be a little petty.
Just because my father and brother are terrible people does not mean that Master Cheng must be like them.
But now it seems that regardless of whether Cheng Fu is really what Cheng Yu said, at least this child is a very well-mannered person, which seems to be somewhat inconsistent with his previous behavior in front of Ning Kezhu.
Generally speaking, this kind of inconsistency usually means that the person's credibility will be reduced.
Ning Kezhu is actually not very familiar with this kid Cheng Fu.
They all lived together when they were young, but later they separated. Cheng Fu was born after the three Cheng brothers lived separately. During Cheng Fu's childhood, Ning Kezhu never saw him a few times.
Subsequently, Cheng's Group's market in Hong Kong Island was getting bigger and bigger, and its branch was preparing to go public, so Cheng Guangnian sent Cheng Guangle there.
Although they both went to Hong Kong Island, that time and this time not long ago were completely different concepts.
At that time, Cheng Guangle went to Hong Kong Island to carry out a series of measures for the Hong Kong branch to ensure that the branch was successfully listed on Hong Kong Island.
At that time, Cheng Guangle was very high-spirited and held the power of life and death for almost everyone in the Hong Kong branch. He could enjoy as much glory as he wanted.
Unlike this time, even though all the executives of the Hong Kong branch were employees before the listing, no one treated him as a superior figure anymore.
When Cheng Guangle went to Hong Kong Island, he happened to catch up with Cheng Fu preparing to go to elementary school. He discussed it with Cheng Guangnian and helped Cheng Fu find a primary school on Hong Kong Island.
The reason is, of course, that the education in Hong Kong is better than that in China. At least, the education there is in English. After a few years of studying, the children will come back speaking fluent English.
Cheng Guangnian was very generous in this regard and immediately found someone to help make arrangements. Soon Cheng Fu followed Cheng Guangle to Hong Kong Island.
Until he graduated from junior high school, Cheng Fu received education in Hong Kong Island. After returning to high school for a year, Cheng Guangle arranged for him to go to the UK.
Therefore, Ning Kezhu didn't really have much contact with Cheng Fu. Basically, they only met a few times during the Chinese New Year.
The reason why Cheng Fu has a good relationship with Cheng Guangle is obviously closely related to the fact that he lived with Cheng Guangle in Hong Kong Island for seven or eight years.
Therefore, before the Chinese New Year this year, when I met Cheng Fu, to be honest, Ning Kezhu had a pretty good impression of this child.
He was humble and polite, and did not show any hatred towards Cheng Guangnian because his father and brother were sent away.
He behaves well, seems to be very enthusiastic, and has a sweet mouth. The elders will obviously like this kind of child.
After the year, Cheng Fu started working in the group. Although Cheng Guangnian didn't mention it much, he was finally able to put him in the position of assistant to the director. There is no doubt that Cheng Guangnian also recognized Cheng Fu.
At least, Ning Ke Zhu thinks so.
Later, Cheng Guangnian mentioned Cheng Fu several times to Ning Kezhu.
After all, after becoming his assistant, he was involved in both business and private matters, and the frequency of phone calls was much higher. Sometimes I would rather be right next to Cheng Guangnian and still hear a few words.
As for Cheng Guangnian, he can naturally make a few comments.
Whether it was from the exchange between Cheng Guangnian and Cheng Fu or Cheng Guangnian's subsequent evaluation of Cheng Fu, Ning Kezhu could tell that Cheng Guangnian almost felt that Cheng Fu was the best among the third generation of the Cheng family besides Cheng Yu.
The reason why except for Cheng Yu is that Cheng Guangnian has never compared Cheng Yu with Cheng Fu, and would rather have no way of knowing Cheng Guangnian's attitude towards the two of them.
Ning Kezhu had always felt that since Cheng Guangnian admired Cheng Fu, Cheng Yu was really a bit petty.
But now, she felt she had to be careful.
Facing Cheng Guangle's words, Ning Kezhu nodded and said, "Well, Cheng Fu and Yu'er talked on the phone. At that time, we all thought that Guang Nian would wake up soon, so Cheng Fu probably thought that Guang Nian would only be gone for two or three days.
There is no need to separate the things he handles. I will deal with these later."
Cheng Guangle asked again: "So, brother, he can't wake up for a while? What's the reason?"
"It's very strange because we can't find out the cause. I'm not sure when he will wake up, and the experts at the hospital are also at a loss.
Now, we can only say that Guangnian may wake up in the next second, or we may need to prepare for a long-term battle.
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to the group."
Cheng Guangle nodded and slowly lowered his head.
For some reason, Ning Kezhu almost saw a hint of joy in Cheng Guangle's eyes.
Of course, this is just a perception of Ning Bamboo and cannot be used as evidence.
At least Cheng Guangle's overall performance now seems very normal.
"Sister-in-law, what's the situation with eldest brother? You've been here for so long and you've only mentioned it once. We even don't even know what happened to eldest brother."
Ning Kezhu said: "Don't worry about this. I will hold an enlarged shareholders' meeting later, and I will explain it to everyone at the meeting."
"Ah? Auntie, you want to convene an enlarged shareholders' meeting? We haven't notified many shareholders of the company. At this time..." Cheng Ran became anxious upon hearing this.
Ning Ningzhu waved his hand and said: "I just want to explain the situation to everyone. Those who are qualified to participate in the enlarged shareholders' meeting will go to the meeting when they are in the company. If they are not, the meeting content will be conveyed to them by those who participated in the meeting.
This meeting does not involve the group's affairs, the most important thing is to explain the situation of Guangnian to everyone."
After hearing this, Cheng Ran nodded and said, "Then I'll feel relieved."
Cheng Mo suddenly smiled and said: "Since aunt is going to convene an enlarged shareholders' meeting, do you have anything else to do by calling my dad and my sister here?"
Ning Kezhu nodded, stood up and said: "We are relatives after all, Guangle and you are Guangnian's biological brother. So, I just want to ask your opinions. If Guangnian cannot wake up temporarily, if this will
It will be a long-term matter. Who do you three think is the best candidate to take over the Cheng Group?"
This question made the three of them look at each other in confusion, wondering how they should answer this?
There is no doubt that Ning Zhuneng asked this question, which means that she wants to take over everything Cheng Guangnian left behind.
But to be honest, no matter which aspect you look at, Ning Kezhu is not the most suitable candidate.
Or, to be more precise, Ning Kezhu is the most suitable candidate legally and emotionally, but he is not the person the Cheng Group needs most right now.
The reason is very simple. In the past, Cheng Guangnian had the final say in the direction of the Cheng Group's progress. He alone had the final say in all matters, big and small.
Ning Kezhu has never worked for the Cheng Group, and has been unemployed at home for a long time. Ning Kezhu knows nothing about the current development and projects of the Cheng Group.
It would be fine if everyone tried their best to help her, but now, everyone knows that people inside the Cheng Group are panicked. Everyone in this group has their own plans, and it is impossible to unite as one, unless someone as powerful as Cheng Guangnian appears.
people.
Seeing the reactions of these three people, Ninghe Zhu was as calm as water. He had already expected this in his heart, so there was no need to talk about any disappointment.
After waiting for a few seconds, Ning Kezhu was sure that the three people would not speak, so she put her hands on the table and leaned forward slightly, trying to imitate her husband's posture in her memory.
This kind of posture can easily give people a feeling of overwhelming pressure.
Although Ning Kezhu didn't know if she could do what Cheng Guangnian did, she still wanted to try. At least, it was better to try and fail in front of Cheng Guangle's family of three than to try and fail in front of the entire group's board members and shareholders.
"Since you don't speak, then I will.
This group belongs to the Cheng family, Guangnian, your eldest brother, and your uncle.
Regardless of the arduous journey of more than 20 years or the current equity status of the Cheng Group, this group belongs to our Cheng family.
Now, Guangnian is in bed and doesn't know what to do. As his wife, I must keep everything safe for him until he comes back here from the hospital bed..."
As Ning Kezhu spoke, she clenched her right fist and banged it heavily on the table, as if to strengthen her tone and the persuasiveness of her words.
In any case, in these words, the fact that the Cheng Group belongs to the Cheng family coincides with what Cheng Guangle is thinking.
Nonsense, after working for the Cheng Group for so many years, they didn’t have any shares at all. The only ones they had were some dry shares that Cheng Guangnian had given them - only the right to dividends and no right to transfer shares. Cheng Guangle was also very dissatisfied.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he always believed that the Cheng Group must belong to the Cheng family, and outsiders were absolutely not allowed to get involved.
If possible, he certainly hoped that this person would be him.
But even if he takes a step back, he does not want other shareholders of Cheng Group to assume the position of chairman.
In the short two days since Cheng Guangnian's accident, there had been great fluctuations at the Cheng Group's shareholder level. Many shareholders were ready to make moves. Among them, Zhao Zepeng, who held the second largest share of the Cheng Group, was the most active.
.
Indeed, if Cheng Guangnian is bedridden and there is no one in the Cheng family who can support the situation, then as the second largest shareholder of the group, it is naturally the most suitable choice to serve as the interim chairman.
Excluding more than half of the shares held by Cheng Guangnian, the 5% of the shares taken by the Du Group, and the few shares held by Cheng Yu, in fact, the actual shares held by the board of directors of the Cheng Group are only a mere Just thirty-two percent.
Of these 32%, Zhao Zepeng accounts for nearly 10% of the shares. He only needs to win over two shareholders to gain an absolute share advantage in voting.
Moreover, Zhao Zepeng has always been known for his outstanding abilities in the group. Although many projects are led by Cheng Guangnian, the final implementer is often Zhao Zepeng.
It can be said that Zhao Zepeng has been so active in showing up and has received secret support from many people.
Cheng Guangle knew very well that he could never compete with Zhao Zepeng, even...
Cheng Guangle couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Cheng Fu who was invisible through the door.
But no matter what the situation, Cheng Guangle hopes that the Cheng Group still belongs to the Cheng family. If Zhao Zepeng is to take over, God knows what he will do during the next period of time when Cheng Guangnian remains in a coma. It is not impossible to evacuate the Cheng family. .
In particular, Zhao Zepeng is a person known for his strong abilities.
At this moment, the more capable you are, the more likely you are to be the first person to be excluded by Cheng Guangle.
Cheng Guangle also wanted to sit in that position, even if it was only for one day, but he knew that he had no chance.
Well, now that Ning Kezhu has stepped forward, perhaps this is an opportunity for Cheng Guangle.
After all, Ning Kezhu uses the term "Cheng Family", which means that under Ning Kezhu, he may be able to obtain more benefits than under Cheng Guangnian.
Moreover, Ning Kezhu is not Cheng Guangnian after all. She is just a woman and very unfamiliar with the group.
If Ning Kezhu can really convince most shareholders to take the position of acting chairman, then she will definitely rely on those shareholders who voted for her and the Cheng family.
In this way, Cheng Guangle will have many opportunities to reap his own benefits from various projects of the Cheng Group.
With this thought, Cheng Guangle finally made up his mind.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you are right. The Cheng Group must belong to our Cheng family. No one can get involved."
After that, he looked at his children. Cheng Ran and Cheng Mo understood what their father meant almost instantly.
Although Cheng Ran always had some unspeakable worries, what Cheng Guangle expected and what Ning Kezhu wanted to do were fundamentally in the best interests of their family of three.
Cheng Ran had no reason to object.
Cheng Mo was even more like this. He even thought of all this one step earlier than Cheng Guangle. However, Cheng Guangle did not express his position. As a son, it was not convenient for him to express his position on his father's behalf.
Cheng Mo had even thought before that if Cheng Guangle was not going to support Ning Kezhu, he would stand on Ning Kezhu's side and "save" his father.
Now since Cheng Guangle thinks exactly the same as him, then everything is fine.
Nodding together with Cheng Ran, the two siblings looked back at their father, and then they said together: "Of course we will support auntie. After all, we are a family, and our surname is Cheng."
Cheng Guangle nodded heavily and said: "You can't write two characters in one stroke, let alone what happened to my elder brother now. Of course we must preserve for him the empire he has worked so hard for half his life no matter what. No outsider can get involved. Sister-in-law, I support it."
you."
Ning Kezhu nodded slowly and said, "That's good. With you standing behind me, I feel a lot more at ease."
Cheng Ran said worriedly: "Auntie, although we absolutely and unconditionally support you, we actually don't have much say in the board of directors.
Those shareholders, especially Zhao Zepeng, alone control nearly 10% of the shares.
According to the current shareholding ratio, he only needs to win the support of two or three more shareholders, and he can basically take away the position of acting chairman..."
Cheng Mo took a step forward, smiled, and said confidently: "Sister, you are so worried. Zhao Zepeng has ten points, and our aunt also has ten points."
Cheng Guangle and Cheng Ran were stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Du Shi and Cheng Yu."
Cheng Mo nodded and continued to smile: "As long as Du Changfeng can show up, Zhao Zepeng will be vulnerable.
Let me tell you, what we really need to worry about are not the outside shareholders in the company, but the people who share the same surname as us, but who are not actually of the same mind as us."
As Cheng Mo said this, he turned his eyes to the person across the door.
Ning Kezhu lightly knocked on the table and said, "You don't have to worry about the shares. I really wish these people would only care about the shares and not care about anything else."
Cheng Guangle and his son were stunned and looked at each other. Cheng Guangle couldn't help it and asked: "Sister-in-law, do you mean that you already have control of your eldest brother's shares?"
Ning Kezhu shook his head and said: "How is this possible, but I can at least guarantee that your eldest brother's shares will only help me, and other people, unless they hold more shares than your eldest brother, no one can use the shares
Make a fuss and get into the position of acting chairman."
Cheng Guangle didn't quite understand the meaning of Ning Kezhu's words, but seeing how confident she was, he stopped talking.
"Since my sister-in-law said that, I think she's quite confident. However, the person outside, huh, sister-in-law still really needs to be careful."
Ning Kezhu nodded and said, "I know this well."
After looking at the three of them, Ning Kezhu said again: "Please help inform all shareholders and executives that the meeting will be held in ten minutes."
