Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 394 Lou Qi won!

Jiang Xing could no longer hold back and looked at Lou Qi in shock.

He knew that Lou Qi was quite dissatisfied with Lou Qi's father, and he also knew that Lou Qi had come with ill intentions today, but he did not expect him to confront him so head-on!

"It's alright." Lou Qi gently patted Jiang Xing's shoulder, signaling her to calm down.

"Lou Qi, you unfilial son!" Lou's father was so angry that he smashed the blue and white porcelain teacup next to him.

"Big brother, you're being really mean!" one of the illegitimate sons stood up and accused Lou Qi. "A father's private life is his right and freedom. Aren't you just afraid we'll take away your rights? But we're also Dad's biological sons!"

Lou Qi didn't even glance at the other party, his contempt evident in his words—those illegitimate children were no match for him now.

"Vote!" Lou Qi didn't want to say a single unnecessary word.

Lou's father was so angry that his face turned pale and then red. At this moment, he just wanted to slap his unfilial son in the face with reality. He said to the shareholder representatives, "Those who agree to remove Lou Qi, please vote!"

As he spoke, he pressed the voting button in front of him.

He was initially furious and confident of victory, but then, a second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed...

Only a handful of people chose to vote.

Lou's father's expression changed slightly, but he was more puzzled. He asked one of the shareholders, "Third brother, what... what do you mean? Why didn't you vote?"

The middle-aged man being questioned lowered his eyes and drank his tea, as if he hadn't heard what he said.

The father, his smile stiff, asked the other person, "Little sister, did you...didn't you hear what I just said?"

Lou's aunt smiled and said, "Brother, this is a struggle between you and Aqi and his son. How can we interfere?"

Lou's father looked at several of his trusted confidants who he had assumed would support him but had not chosen to vote. Those men all looked away, not daring to meet Lou's father's gaze, as if they were unwilling to get involved in their father-son struggle and avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"All voted on? All counted?" Lou Qi asked the counter, then tapped the table and said, "Those who agree to remove my father from his position as chairman, please vote."

Before the words were even finished, the voting lights in front of many people lit up one after another.

The fact that the representatives of those independent third-party external investment groups all voted in favor was clearly something Lou Qi had planned in advance.

As more and more people voted, quickly surpassing the majority, Lou's father's face grew increasingly grim.

"Third brother? Uncle?" Lou's father looked at those people in disbelief. "You...you support Lou Qi? You betrayed me?"

“Brother, the group’s performance has been climbing year after year since Xiao Lou took office, which is obvious to all. We small shareholders also need to eat. Whoever has the ability and can bring more dividends, we will support.”

"Aqi just wants to find a girl he likes, what's the big deal? I'm not trying to criticize you, but some people are fine as long as you give them some money to support them, but you still have to let them out to poison the company. How can the company withstand the kind of trouble your people cause!"

"Some people" and "those people" were clearly referring to Lou's father's illegitimate children, and their words were full of disdain.

Several illegitimate children, whose identities were implied, slammed their fists on the table in protest:

"Who the hell are you implying? You think you're something just because you have a few shares? You guys still have to rely on us to support you and give us a share of the money!"

"Is this how you talk to your elders?"

"Did you receive benefits from Lou Qi? You've been in cahoots with Lou Qi all along!"

"He's bad at studying, but he's good at biting!"

……

The shareholders' meeting instantly turned into a chaotic marketplace with heated arguments.

As a lawyer, Jiang Xing had seen unseemly negotiations between the two sides, but he was still shocked at this moment.

But one thing is certain: the votes have exceeded two-thirds.

Lou Qi won!
