Chapter 8
Questioning
Lin Sheng walked up to Gu Dai, slightly bowed to her, his arms trembling slightly by his sides, and then spoke softly, “Miss Gu Dai.” After his sentence, he raised his head again, and one could see tears flashing in his eyes.
As Lin Sheng approached, Gu Dai also stood up and took a few steps forward to help him up, then said, “Uncle Lin, please have a seat.”
Lin Sheng looked at the beautiful young girl in front of him, his eyes reddening again, and a thousand words filled his heart that he wanted to ask Gu Dai.
However, there were too many people here, and it was not a good place for reminiscing, so he could only utter a single word, “Alright.”
Over the years, the other shareholders had gradually grown closer to Gu Ming, and Lin Sheng, as a clear stream among the muddy water, had slowly been marginalized. Moreover, he didn’t want to get along with these people, so he didn’t even have a seat now.
Gu Dai noticed this immediately.
Her eyes swept over a person next to her, and Gu Shan trembled in fear when he met Gu Dai’s gaze, subconsciously standing up and moving aside.
Seeing that there was a seat available, Gu Dai spoke again, “Uncle Lin, please sit down.”
Lin Sheng also saw Gu Dai’s actions and nodded with excitement in his heart.
He had a feeling that under Miss Gu Dai’s leadership, the company would definitely be able to recover to the situation when the old Chairman Gu and his wife were in charge, and perhaps even better!
As for Gu Shan, who had given up his seat, he came to his senses after a few dozen seconds and was taken aback when he realized what he had just done.
He couldn’t understand how a man in his fifties could be scared by a young girl. Realizing this, his face immediately turned sour.
Gu Shan subconsciously looked up and, as expected, met Gu Ming’s cold gaze.
He must have seen his actions just now, and he thought of how he had been relying on Gu Ming for the past few years. If it weren’t for this cousin, he would not have been able to enter the company at all.
Gu Shan understood that he needed to speak up now. He fiercely signaled the people next to him to move aside, and after he sat down, his hand slapped the table, creating a loud noise.
Gu Shan saw that everyone’s attention was focused on him, and then he said, “First of all, you’re just a young girl, and you’re a woman. How can you take on the heavy responsibility of the company? If the company falls into your hands, it will go bankrupt sooner or later! Anyway, I don’t agree with changing the chairman!”
With Gu Shan taking the lead, the rest of the people also began to talk.
All their words were belittling Gu Dai, thinking that she was not suitable, and unanimously agreeing that Gu Ming should continue to serve as the chairman.
Lin Sheng knew that these people were Gu Ming’s lackeys and must have been instructed by Gu Ming to say such things. It was precisely because he understood this that he was shaking with anger.
If it weren’t for the message from Miss Gu Dai asking him not to get excited, he would have rushed up to beat them up.
Gu Dai’s expression remained indifferent in the face of the belittling. She did not say a word, and just calmly looked at them.
But at the same time, she memorized their faces one by one, planning to settle the score with them once she stabilized the company!
It was precisely because Gu Dai was too calm that these people gradually found it difficult to continue talking. Their voices lowered, and finally, the office fell silent.
Gu Dai then spoke, with the same nonchalant tone, “Are you all finished? If you have anything to say, just continue. I’ll wait for you.”
After a few minutes, when Gu Dai saw that no one was speaking, she stood up, and at the same time, her eyes became cold and sharp.
She said coldly, “I think everyone might have misunderstood something. When I said I would be the chairman, I wasn’t discussing it with you, but informing you!”
Everyone was startled by Gu Dai’s sudden change in attitude and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Gu Ming also realized this, glanced at the people below, and gritted his teeth, cursing in his heart, “Idiots!”
Although Gu Ming didn’t like Gu Dai and even wanted her dead, his years of ups and downs in the business world had taught him to control his emotions.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he spoke kindly, “Niece Gu Dai, their intentions are good. They just want the company to develop better and not be ruined.”
Gu Dai looked at Gu Ming with a mysterious expression and asked, “Uncle, do you think I’m so unreliable that I’ll definitely ruin the company?”
