Chapter 448 Her Backup
Planned play…
Xia Ning hesitates for a little while. Obviously, Jiang Yongran means that Xia Ning brings a group of people to the press conference and puts on the play to slander him.
“What I want to say is that some people have very good technology support and react very fast. It may be planned in advance. Or there may be something I don’t know about. Everyone is wise. You may think about it yourself.”
Jiang Yongran hints at the possibility, which causes a lot of discussions among the audiences.
Xia Ning can’t help admiring Jiang Yongran’s speed in changing the focus!
“General Manager Jiang is right. Whether it is real or not may be judged by everyone.” Xia Ning puts on a mild smile. She is not panic at all. She says, “I want to say that those who play tricks tend to arrogate bad motives to others. ”
Xia Ning’s words give tit for tat. The audiences discuss even more fiercely.
If it is really planned by Xia Ning, Xia Ning is humiliating herself by saying so. How can anyone ridicule herself in front of other people?
Jiang Yongran looks at Xia Ning who is looking at him directly. He vaguely realizes that the woman is completely different from the one he knew one month ago!
He sees decisiveness, calm and wisdom in her eyes.
One month ago, when she came to Junhao Group, she was very efficient at work. However, she lacked some sense of toughness, because of which he didn’t pay much attention to her. He hasn’t seen her for a few days only. If the changes on Xia Ning are real, it takes place surprisingly fast!
“Ahem. Assistant Xia, you are overreacting.” Jiang Yongran clears his throat. He changes the topic, “Assistant Xia, as a matter of fact, it is not true that we didn’t want to invite you to the press conference. However, you were taken to the police office two days ago. We were told that you had some important connection with President Zhou’s death. Therefore, the shareholders’ meeting made the decision that you might deal with your cases first, so that we wouldn’t bother the policemen in their work.”
Jiang Yongran’s words clearly remind everyone that Xia Ning is the suspect of great possibility in Zhou Mengyao’s case.
He says so to give the audiences the impression that Xia Ning is entitled The Suspicious Criminal. In this way, the audiences will be influenced on their next judgment about Xia Ning.
That is really a malicious move.
Xia Ning puts on a bigger smile!
She has been working in the news industry for so long a time. It is safe to say that she has met and dealt with all kinds of people. How can it be possible that she doesn’t understand what Jiang Yongran means?
Jiang Yongran has the plan and she has the counterplan!
Jiang Yongran has got everything ready in advance. But didn’t she also make some plans before she came here?
Xia Ning ignores the discussions of the audiences. She takes up the tea for a sip. Then, she puts down the cup and responds slowly, “Oh. Seemingly, General Manager Jiang is really very considerate to your co-workers. I want to thank you.”
Xia Ning addresses him General Manager Jiang again and again, which sounds harsh to Jiang Yongran. He darkens his face.
At the time, the assistant sitting by Jiang Yongran can’t help saying, “Assistant Xia, Mr. Jiang is the president of Junhao Group now, not the general manager. Please watch your wordings.”
“Oh? Is he?” Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “Excuse me. I forgot that General Manager Jiang had a promotion!”
She mentions the words General Manager Jiang once again. Jiang Yongran hears that and has the urge to punch at her.
He has been working hard in Junhao Group for many years. His aim is not just to be a so-called general manager!
Zhou Junhao and Zhou Mengyao didn’t have any children or any other heirs. Jiang Yongran kept working hard without any complaints. What he aimed at was to make Zhou Mengyao transfer the shares under her name to him. Even a part of them would be fine!
However, the fact was that Zhou Mengyao attached a lot of importance to a young girl and tried to kick him out of the company!
How can he be resigned to that?
Zhou Mengyao was not kind to him. Then, she might not blame him for being heartless!
Zhou Mengyao deserved what happened to her. Xia Ning deserved to be treated so, too!
How dare a young girl go and fight against him? He will tell her what she will end up in!”
“Assistant Xia, as to the fact that we didn’t invite you to the press conference we are holding today, I want to say sorry to you on behalf of all the employees of Junhao Group. Everyone in Junhao Group knows that President Zhou attached great importance to you when she was alive. She wanted to cultivate you to take over. Supervisor An and I obediently supported you and cooperated with you. However, it is surprising that President Zhou passed away after only a month. The monitoring camera shows that on the evening when President Zhou died, you showed up on the site of the case during the very time. It is inevitable that we feel suspicious of you. I hope you honestly confess the truth to the policemen and tell what really happened.”
Jiang Yongran has just finished his words when the audiences make cries of surprise!
The words he says reveal some “truth”? If that is true, then, it is very obvious to know what happened!
Hearing the waves of discussions, suspicions and scolding, Xia Ning keeps calm. She is not angry. Instead, she smiles. She says, “General Manager Jiang, well, if what you say is true, why do I show up here? Do you imply that the policemen are incapable to deal with the case? As a suspect, can I go around freely?”
Jiang Yongran freezes his face a little because of embarrassment, “No. I didn’t mean that…”
“Only you yourself may know what you mean.” Xia Ning freezes her face. She turns to the audiences and says word by word, “Everyone, I, Xia Ning make a serious announcement here. I totally disagree on the temporary decision made by the meeting of shareholders of Junhao Group! I require to hold the meeting of shareholders again to select the president for Junhao Group.”
Not expecting that Xia Ning will make such an announcement. Everyone turns silent all of a sudden.
When they are stunned, someone asks in a patient voice, “Assistant Xia, may I ask why you think you have the right to say so?”
The speaker is An Zihao.
Xia Ning takes out a document and opens it, “This is the Letter of Appointment issued by President Zhou in person. It specified my position, the Executive President of Junhao Group! The document took effect from the date it was signed! It was signed two days ago. That was the day when President Zhou was murdered. Everyone may think about it. If there hadn’t been anything happening, I would have been the executive president of Junhao Group. Why would I hurt President Zhou?”
Xia Ning turns to Jiang Yongran and says slowly, “However, this Letter of Appointment was only known by President Zhou and Supervisor An, and no one else. President Zhou happened to be murdered on the very night while General Manager Jiang dramatically became the executive president of Junhao Group… General Manager Jiang, you may explain that it is just a coincidence. Anyway, everyone, don’t you think that it is too strangely coincident?”
Hearing Xia Ning’s speech, everyone can’t help taking a breath. The audiences realize that the internal dispute in Junhao Group is much fiercer than they expected!
Jiang Yongran looks at the Letter of Appointment. He feels shocked for a few seconds before he collects himself. He nervously looks at An Zihao, “Supervisor An, how can there be a Letter of Appointment? I knew nothing about it!”
An Zihao shrugs his shoulders, “The Letter of Appointment is decided by President Zhou. She made the decision and hadn’t had the time to announce it to the public. This Letter of Appointment is real. Anyway, General Manager Jiang and the shareholders can deny it. After all, President Zhou has passed away. You may say whatever you like.”
What An Zihao says is obviously implying that Zhou Mengyao has passed away and everything about the company is controlled by Jiang Yongran alone.
At the time, a reporter stands up and asks, “Supervisor An, as to the issue of Jiang Yongran to be promoted as the president, do you think it is legal?”
An Zihao thinks for a while and responds, “I was absent in the meeting of shareholders. Therefore, as to General Manager Jiang’s promotion, I can’t but accept whatever they decided.”
Another reporter stands up, “Supervisor An, it is said that you also hold ten percent of Junhao Group’s shares. You may be considered to be an important shareholder of Junhao Group. Do you have any comments on that you didn’t attend the meeting of shareholders?
“Comments?” An Zihao glances at Jiang Yongran, “As you all see, I am short and weak. If any wild violence happened, I didn’t have the chance to win.”
Everything gets to a turning. In the following time, all the reporters turn to throw their questions to An Zihao. An Zihao responds cheerfully and humorously, which makes the atmosphere in the meeting hall turn much easier. However, it also brings a new inside story to everyone: Jiang Yongran’s promotion to be the president of Junhao Group is really suspicious!
The reporters have asked quite a lot of questions. Xia Ning says, “Everyone, please be quiet for a while. General Manager Jiang, now, may I suggest that we take a recess? We may talk in private for a while.”
Jiang Yongran grits his teeth. He clenches his fists. If they take a recess in the press conference, it means he loses!
If he admits that he loses, it means that he announces in public what Xia Ning and An Zihao say is true!
However, …
If he doesn’t take a recess, since Xia Ning comes here with some preparation and she comes with Yi Yunrui, what will happen next may be beyond his expectation!
Thinking about this, Jiang Yongran turns to the shareholders, “As to the suggestions of taking a recess, what’s the shareholders’ opinions?”
The shareholders glance at each other. They are reluctant to speak. They are afraid of Jiang Yongran. At this moment, they feel even more reluctant to make any reactions!
Jiang Yongran finds that everyone is silent. He slightly frowns. Then, he turns to Xia Ning, “Assistant Xia, do you mean that you want to hold the meeting of shareholders again to elect a new president? If that Letter of Appointment is real, you are the Acting Executive President of Junhao Group. However, you hold no shares of Junhao Group but the Letter of Appointment only. And you haven’t worked long in the company. Even if you become the president, how do you make other people convinced? How can you lead Junhao Group to a more prosperous future?”
Jiang Yongran’s questions sound reasonable. Everyone turns to look at Xia Ning. Junhao Group is a world-famous multinational company with numerous properties. How can Xia Ning make other people convinced with her ability only?
Hearing this, Xia Ning slightly lifts her lips and puts on a very confident smile, “First of all, I am a member of the Yi family. I am Yi Yunrui’s wife. Undeniably, my husband will support me with all efforts. Second, I may say the name: Yi Yuntian!”
When the shareholders of Junhao Group hear that, they all change their colors at once!
