The men who had accompanied Ling Wei looked around the hospital ward for Ling Tianya and anyone from the Ruan family. When they confirmed that they were not around, they looked at Ling Wei, and he nodded his head.
Even if the Ruan family was around, Ling Wei had nothing to be intimidated about. This was an internal matter for the Ling family, and no matter how powerful the Ruan family was, they did not have the right to get involved in others’ business.
As he thought about that, Ling Wei sat down beside Madame Ling. In his eyes, Xiao Hong was not part of the Ling family. Although she was with Ling Tao, they had not registered their marriage yet.
“Great Aunt, I know cousin’s accident has given you a terrible shock, but you have to face facts. Now that cousin is in such a state, you are the one in charge of his family. You will be making the important decisions now.”
Madame Ling gave him a sideways glance. Normally, if someone supported her and gave her the authority to call the shots, she would be thrilled, but she knew that he had other motives. Ling Wei was targeting her because she was old and slower than he was.
“Get straight to the point! Don’t beat around the bush like this. It annoys me,” Madame Ling said loudly and sternly.
Ling Wei frowned for an instant.
How dare the old hag put up such an arrogant front! Look at her circumstances now! Darn her!
Ling Wei adjusted his expression and said to Madame Ling, “Don’t resent me for telling the truth, but Cousin is lying here in this state, and we have no idea whether he is going to wake up. It’ll take a miracle for him to regain consciousness and recover completely. Of course, I wish for that to happen, but if he doesn’t, or if he is going to take a long time to do so, someone has to lead the company. Someone has to step up and take care of the company’s affairs and family matters. Great Aunt, do I make sense to you?””Access ReadReadNovelFull.live if you like watching manga,comics.
Madame Ling glared at Ling Wei and said, “I knew you were up to no good when you walked through the door!”
“Great Aunt, how could you say that? I’m putting the Ling family’s interest above anything else. The Ling Group doesn’t solely belong to Cousin, and we all have a stake in the company, all the shareholders and relatives here. The company mustn’t fall just because Cousin isn’t around anymore. Someone needs to step up and support the company and become the next pillar of strength. That’s the only way to avoid making all the efforts that cousin put in the company over the years worthless.”
Madame Ling knew that Ling Wei was up to no good but she had no good reason to rebut him. Strangely, she wished that Ling Tianya was here. If she was here, this bunch of savages wouldn’t be so arrogant and cocky.
Xiao Hong looked coldly at Ling Wei and said, “Tao is the Ling Group’s CEO and President. He holds over fifty percent of all the company’s shares. He has the final say over everything.”
Xiao Hong felt the need to remind the group of men of this fact.
Ling Wei smiled and said, “Hey, I didn’t expect secretary Xiao to be so well-informed even though you’ve stopped working at the company. Well, he only held the power when he was awake, didn’t he? Now that he is in this state, he doesn’t have the right to have the final say anymore. He can’t even speak for goodness say. Are we going to allow a patent in a vegetative state to stay as our CEO?”
Xiao Hong gritted her teeth. Her expression was grim.
When he saw Xiao Hong’s expression, Ling Xiao smiled. “So, the plan today is to elect another person to run the company for the time being.”
Everyone else was nodding along to Ling Wei, agreeing with what he was saying.
Ling Wei adjusted his suit. “As the second-biggest shareholder of the company, I would not be turning down this heavy responsibility.”
