Chapter 254: Resignation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Ji Gao received the news, his good mood from returning to the company was instantly ruined.
He left the office with a dark expression and hurriedly drove home.
When they arrived at the old residence, Ji Gao hurriedly walked towards the living room.
After seeing the few people standing or sitting in the living room, Ji Gao stopped in his tracks and did not dare to move forward for a moment. After all, the people inside were all familiar faces, and they were all shareholders who had a say in their Ji Group.
The moment Ji Gao entered the living room, several pairs of eyes looked over in unison. However, none of these pairs of eyes carried kindness towards Ji Gao.
One of the old men cleared his throat and said word byword, “We also know that it wasn’t easy for Mr. Ji to return to the company today, but now that this has happened, I don’t think Mr. Ji can stay in the Ji Group anymore, right?”
When Ji Gao heard this, his eyes were instantly tainted with a trace of anger.
However, before he could speak, the other old masters began to speak on their own.
“That’s true. It’s only been less than a day. Because of the mixture of true and false news online, our Ji Group’s shares have been affected.”
“It’s not just the shares. The entire share price of the Ji Group has fallen by 4%! In the many years that the Ji Group has been established, this is the biggest blow! Therefore, we all think that the company must take some measures to curb the growing resistance and complaints against the Ji Group online!”
“We’ve also discussed it. The only way now is to make Mr. Ji take the blame and resign to protect the Ji Group. However, we can’t make a decision on this matter, so we can only trouble Old Master Ji. What do you think?”
“I won’t resign!” Ji Gao couldn’t help but object loudly.
It was not easy for him to take back the position of CEO of the Ji Group from that little brat. How could he leave just like that?
However, his opinion did not attract anyone’s attention.
Those shareholders all looked at Old Master Ji, waiting for his answer.
However, while they appeared to be respectful on the surface and unanimously let Old Master Ji decide, they were asking Ji Gao to leave. If Old Master Ji insisted otherwise, these shareholders would definitely think of other ways to force Ji Gao to leave.
Old Master Ji met the eyes of these old fellows and naturally understood their thoughts.
However, Ji Gao clearly did not have the ability. Seeing that no one cared about his opinion and that the decision was in Old Master Ji’s hands, he immediately looked at Old Master Ji expectantly.
“Dad, you won’t let me leave, right?” There was a hint of pleading in his voice, as if he was treating Old Master Ji as his last life-saving straw.
Old Master Ji closed his eyes, unwilling to look at this useless son.
He did not even know how he could give birth to such an incompetent and stupid son!
When Old Master Ji opened his eyes again, the emotions in his eyes had already been completely restrained by him, making it impossible for outsiders to see what he was thinking.
“You’re right. We can’t let Ji Gao implicate the Ji Group.” He glanced at Ji Gao lightly. “From now on, don’t go to the Ji Group anymore.”
When Ji Gao heard Old Master Ji’s words, his eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief.
“Dad! How can you do this! I’m your son! Your biological son!”
He looked at Old Master Ji and understood what the other party wanted him to understand.
If this matter could not be completely resolved in the end, or be completely forgotten by the netizens, he would definitely not be able to return to the Ji Group.
This time was different from the last time he left. The last time he left, he only needed to beg Old Master Ji for a while longer, and Old Master Ji would let him go back after his heart softened.
But this time…
Ji Gao instantly felt a sense of despair.
However, no one present cared what Ji Gao was thinking.
After all, after Ji Gao left, it was also a question of who to hand the Ji Group over to. However, the shareholders all had the best candidate in their hearts.
One of them looked at Old Master Ji and asked, “Old Master Ji, why didn’t Ji Chen go to work today? It is the best choice for Ji Group to continue to be managed by Ji Chen..”
