The commotion at the entrance immediately drew the attention of everyone present, who all turned their eyes toward the source.
However, when they saw the figure who was walking in, everyone was visibly taken aback before frowning deeply because they were all too familiar with this young man.
More than familiar, one might say they knew him extremely well!
The newcomer was none other than Ye Xuan, who had once snatched away Lin Tong, who was ostensibly Song Shaopeng’s fiancée at the time. It was because of him that the Lin Family and the Eastern Group had offended the Song Family, ultimately leading to a series of conflicts which now had the Eastern Group on the brink of collapse.
Of course, the fact that Lin Tong and Ye Xuan were already married hadn’t been publicly announced, so many were unaware.
"Hello, everyone, I see you’re all here."
Ye Xuan walked in with a smile on his face, greeting everyone without any sign of restraint.
"Ye Xuan, what are you doing here?"
Lin Dongfang’s face immediately darkened, and he glared at Ye Xuan with a cold voice.
"I saw you were having quite a lively time, so I thought I’d come over and take a look."
Ye Xuan, still with a smirk on his face, was not the slightest bit annoyed by Lin Dongfang’s hostile tone.
"What festivity are you joining in on? This is our shareholder meeting; you shouldn’t be here. Get out immediately!"
Lin Dongfang said sternly, ready to drive Ye Xuan out.
The major shareholder was about to arrive, and if this young man were to cause any trouble, that would be a serious issue. Lin Dongfang couldn’t let that happen! He still had hopes of currying favor with the major shareholder to continue as the chairman.
"Mr. Ye, we have a very important meeting going on, and this is not a place for you to create disturbances. Please leave immediately,"
Lin Zifeng joined in, his tone very confrontational.
"Having a meeting? Well, that’s perfect. I happen to be free right now, so I might as well come and listen to what kind of meeting you’re having,"
Ye Xuan said languidly, with a playful smile on his lips.
Lin Zifeng was seething with rage, as Ye Xuan was clearly showing him no respect.
"Ye Xuan, get out now. Don’t act like a troublemaker; otherwise, I will call security,"
Lin Dongfang said with a dark look in his eyes.
"Heh, father-in-law, little brother-in-law, you still haven’t grasped the situation before you! To think you dare to speak to me ? I’m not sure whether to call you brave or incredibly stupid,"
Ye Xuan shook his head and chuckled.
"Dad! This jerk actually dares to insult us," Lin Zifeng said indignantly.
Had he not known that Ye Xuan was formidable in combat, he might have been unable to resist attacking him.
"What do you mean by that?"
Lin Dongfang narrowed his eyes, ignoring his son.
"Enough. I won’t waste more words with you! You want to drive me out now, but you may not find it so easy to invite me back later,"
Ye Xuan said indifferently.
"Hahaha! What joke are you making? We would invite you back? Who do you think you are? Why are you so full of yourself!"
Lin Zifeng burst into scornful laughter, filled with derision, thinking Ye Xuan must have lost his mind.
Ye Xuan glanced at him and said with a teasing smile, "Why? Because I am the major shareholder of the Eastern Group!"
"Father-in-law, if you’re trying to kick me out, that really makes me unhappy! And now, treating me with such rudeness, do you believe I can fire you from the company and turn you into unemployed wanderers on the streets?"
Ye Xuan, while speaking, lit a cigarette and took a casual drag as if no one else was there, speaking to Lin Dongfang with an air of composure.
However, his words carried an implicit threat!
Yet, Ye Xuan’s calm words were like a storm brewing in the conference room.
Ye Xuan... a major shareholder!?
This piece of news was like thunder out of a clear sky, everyone was stunned and disoriented.
Their minds were roaring, standing there in a daze like wooden chickens!
Who could have expected that the mysterious major shareholder acquiring Eastern Group would actually be Ye Xuan!? How... how is that possible?
Including Lin Tong, everyone felt incredible and stared at Ye Xuan with eyes wide in disbelief.
Lin Dongfang had a look of bold and italicized confusion on his face!
The gloomy expression stiffened on his face hadn’t dispersed, now mixed with a horrified expression, it looked somewhat comical and ridiculously amusing.
At that moment, he simply couldn’t imagine that the major shareholder he had been so eager to curry favor with was Ye Xuan, who he had always looked down upon and considered a thorn to be removed!
This huge contrast in situations nearly made Lin Dongfang want to vomit blood, as he simply couldn’t accept it.
If Ye Xuan became the major shareholder of Eastern Group, with his more than 50% absolute controlling stake, the company would inevitably fall into his hands! Given his past behavior towards Lin Dongfang, he was surely going to be booted from his position as chairman.
Lin Dongfang wasn’t naive enough to think, given how their relationship had deteriorated to this point, Ye Xuan wouldn’t take this chance for revenge, and would still kindly allow him to remain chairman as if nothing had happened!
Unless, of course, Ye Xuan was a fool. But clearly, Ye Xuan was not!
Lin Zifeng was equally incredulous; his shock so intense he even doubted his own hearing.
The bumpkin he looked down upon had suddenly transformed into a super tycoon acquiring Eastern Group. What the hell? Could he have robbed a bank?
He began to waver, hardly believing the other party, and pointing at Ye Xuan he shouted angrily:
"Ye Xuan, you’re taking your bullshit too far! You say you’re the major shareholder and we should just believe you?"
Ye Xuan shook his head and sighed, looking at him with pity and scoffed, "Having a brain is a wonderful thing, it’s a shame you don’t have one! Imagine if I really am the major shareholder—aren’t you afraid that I’ll turn you into an unemployed wanderer?"
Hearing this, the other shareholders looked at Lin Zifeng with disdain and contempt in their eyes.
Although they didn’t say anything, they were internally remarking on Lin Zifeng’s stupidity!
Better safe than sorry, they thought. If Ye Xuan really is the major shareholder, speaking is akin to deeply offending him.
Lin Tong was also extremely shocked. She had always been wondering who could be behind such a grand acquisition of Eastern Group shares! After all calculations, she could never have expected it would turn out to be her own husband, Ye Xuan.
The impact on her was so great that she couldn’t react for a moment.
"Ye Xuan, you... you’re not lying, are you really that major shareholder?"
Lin Dongfang looked at Ye Xuan with suspicion, although he also harbored doubts, he didn’t show it openly like Lin Zifeng did but instead asked tentatively.
At the same time, the arrogance that had been present before had entirely vanished, and he felt more tense in his heart!
"Father-in-law, do I need to lie about such a matter? What good does it do me?"
Ye Xuan slightly curled his lip and asked flatly.
Hearing this response, Lin Dongfang fell silent.
From Ye Xuan’s words, he already sensed that there was a more than ninety percent chance Ye Xuan wasn’t lying, and his words were probably true.
That is to say, it was highly likely the other party was indeed that mysterious major shareholder!
