Chapter 255 - 255 Ingrate
255 Ingrate
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Old Master Ji.
During the period when Ji Chen was in charge of the Ji Group, they had a clearer understanding of the gap between Ji Gao and Ji Chen. Ji Chen’s ability to control the direction of the company’s development and look at projects was even better than Old Master Ji when he was young.
That was why they did not protest when Ji Chen replaced Ji Gao.
The others had a trace of hope in their hearts, but Old Master Ji’s expression darkened because of this sentence.
When Ji Gao saw this, he snorted and said indignantly, “The Ji Chen that you think highly of is not like me who keeps thinking about the Ji Group. That brat found Old Master Ji this morning and resigned as the CEO of Ji Group!”
After saying that, Ji Gao’s face was filled with undisguised mockery.
So what if they thought highly of Ji Chen? Ji Chen was not interested in Ji Group and had even chosen to leave long ago.
When the shareholders who came today heard this, they looked at Old Master Ji in shock.
They had never heard of such a thing. Previously, they were wondering why Ji Chen, who had always prioritized the company, did not go to the company even though it was almost afternoon.
But if Ji Chen had chosen to leave, then it made sense.
“Old Master, is this true? Did Ji Chen really choose to leave the company?” One of the shareholders still did not believe Ji Gao’s words and wanted to know the truth from Old Master Ji.
Or rather, in his heart, he still had some hope that Old Master Ji could refute Ji Gao’s words.
Old Master Ji’s face darkened. After a long pause, he nodded reluctantly.
“Ji Gao is right. Ji Chen came to me early this morning and requested to leave Ji Group and return to his small workshop.”
Hearing Old Master Ji’s words, the shareholders who thought highly of Ji Chen suddenly felt dissatisfied.
“Why is Ji Chen such a child? He was raised by Ji Group and chose to leave when Ji Group is in trouble. Isn’t he an ingrate?!”
“Could it be that Ji Chen saw the mixture of true and falsenews online last night and wanted to leave because he didn’t want to take responsibility? Even if he likes his sister, he can’t abandon Ji Group!”
The shareholders started to criticize Ji Chen, as if they were not the ones who admired Ji Chen.
Old Master Ji listened to the shareholders’ accusations, but he did not know what to say. After all, to them, Ji Chen had indeed done something inappropriate.
However, when he thought of the disappointment in Ji Chen’s eyes today, Old Master Ji suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He sat on the sofa, and his originally sharp eyes seemed to have become cloudy again because of these things.
“He has already made up his mind. He will not choose to return to Ji Group.” Old Master Ji was very clear about Ji Chen’s personality.
Ji Gao raised his head slightly. “Ji Chen is no longer in charge of Ji Group. If you are willing, then I…”
“Xiao Gao, don’t waste your time. Even if Ji Chen can’t continue to be the CEO of Ji Group, this position can’t be given to you either.”
One of them, Old Master Han, who had worked hard with Old Master Ji when he was young, rudely interrupted Ji Gao.
The other shareholders also nodded when they heard this.
Initially, they did not intend to pay much attention to the news online. They believed that the company could handle this matter well. However, when they heard that Ji Gao had actually returned to the Ji Group at this time, they could not sit still anymore.
Ji Gao was the main culprit behind the Ji Group’s crisis. If Ji Gao returned to the Ji Group at such a sensitive time, no one could guarantee that this would not cause another blow to the Ji Group.
Although they believed in the company, they were also unwilling to let the culprit, Ji Gao, stay in the company!
Old Master Han glanced at Old Master Ji. “Chairman Ji, it’s better if you come to a decision!”
