At this moment, Ling Wei’s shameless goals and greedy desires were completely exposed.
Madame Ling was shaking with anger. She didn’t know much about the company, but she knew that these people were there to steal and rob from Ling Tao.
Xiao Hong’s expression was gloomy, and she held onto Ling Tao’s hands tightly. “You can just elect an acting director in place of Tao; you didn’t have to come here and say these insincere words to us.”
Ling Wei ignored Xiao Hong. To him, she was nothing but a tool beside Ling Tao. He turned to look at Madame Ling and said in a threatening manner, “Great Aunt, I can be the acting director. Although I am the greatest shareholder amongst everyone here, my percentage is nothing compared to cousin’s fifty-one percent. I won’t be able to command the crowd, since there’s no telling when he will wake up. Does that mean I’ll just be the acting director for an indefinite period of time? It’s a little unfair to me, isn’t it?”
“What do you want then?” Madame Ling’s face was green, and she clutched the sofa tightly.
Ling Wei chuckled at the question. “In order for me to lead the company effectively and for the sake of fairness, I’m willing to buy all of Cousin’s stocks. Of course, he can keep ten percent of the shares since he contributed significantly to the company. If you sell Cousin’s shares to me, I will share his visions and ambitions for the company. I will be willing to give it my all for the Ling Group and the Ling family!”
“You… Ling Wei… You heartless man…” Madame Ling was furious after hearing Ling Wei’s request.
Ling Wei pretended to be oblivious to her anger and continued, “Great Aunt, this is for the best! It’s for the sake of our entire clan and all our shareholders. Now that cousin is out of action, we’re all in a state of frenzy. I’m just trying to steady the ship and take hold of the situation.”
Xiao Hong couldn’t bear to listen to any more of his words. This group of men had come to the hospital to bully an old lady and a pregnant woman. “Ling Wei, don’t act too arrogantly. Don’t forget, Tao has children as well. According to the company protocol, his children are entitled to take over his company shares now he is in this state! Even if he doesn’t wake up, his shares and his assets will be inherited by his children. You don’t have anything to do with his money. Quit daydreaming!”
Outside, an idea struck Yu Meizi who was still eavesdropping on the other side of the door.
If Ling Tao really didn’t wake up, his assets would be inherited by his children… Yu Meizi’s eyes twinkled, and she couldn’t help but smile to herself.
In the room, Ling Wei was stern. He had expected Xiao Hong to use the company protocol to rebut him. He gave a nonchalant smile. “What children are you talking about? The one in your stomach that’s not even born yet?”
“You know who I am talking about! The eldest miss, Ling Tianya!”
At the mention of Ling Tianya, Ling Wei paused. “Ling Tianya is a pregnant lady, and she never participated in the company’s operation anyway,” he finally replied. “She wouldn’t be able to take on the position of CEO. Xiao Hong, as an employee of the Ling Group, you should consider the interests of the company!”
Xiao Hong grabbed Ling Tao’s hand tightly as if she was getting support and strength from him. “Ling Wei, everyone knows about Ling Tianya’s capabilities. I don’t need to argue further. Besides, her in-laws are influential figures as well. She is the CEO of one of the biggest entertainment companies in the country, and she is totally capable of running the Ling Group. As long as Ling Tianya is around, I’m afraid you have made a disappointing trip.”
