In the face of his clansmen defecting one after another, Gu Zhilin’s forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. Now, were even the clansmen who supported him on Gu Zhiqian’s side?
Gu Zhihuan stood up with a cold face and pointed at the elders and clansmen impolitely. “You fence-sitters, you are so easily swayed! Back then, you were the ones who flattered my big brother, and now you’re against him!”
“Gu Zhihuan, how can you talk like that? You don’t have any manners!” An elder shouted angrily.
“Manners? You’re saying I don’t have manners? I think you’re the ones who don’t have manners! You’re all a bunch of greedy old men!” Gu Zhihuan was also panicking. Now that Master Gu was dead, the only person she could rely on was her big brother, Gu Zhilin. If Gu Zhilin lost his power today, how would she have a good life in the future? She had never been very good to Gu Zhiqian, and she often bullied Zhao Huimin. If Gu Zhiqian really became the Chairman of the Gu Corporation today and held power over the Gu family, then she, Gu Zhihuan, would be finished.
However, Gu Zhihuan’s words were really unpleasant to hear, and it was aimed at the members and elders of the Gu family. This made the members of the Gu family, who had already been disheartened by Gu Zhilin, even more determined to support Gu Zhiqian’s idea.
“Gu Zhihuan!” An elder slammed the table fiercely. “You’re a woman, and you don’t even have any real power in the company. You’re just a freeloader. What right do you have to shout here?!”
“I… you…” Gu Zhihuan was rebuked. Just as she was about to retaliate, she was pulled down by Gu Zhiming. “Brother, why are you pulling me? Didn’t you hear what they said?”
Gu Zhiming’s expression did not look good. “Shut up! You only know how to cause trouble even when you don’t have any skills!”
“I’m causing trouble? How can you blame me too?!” Gu Zhihuan felt extremely wronged.
Gu Zhiming ignored Gu Zhihuan and looked at Gu Zhilin. “Big Brother… I feel that since things have come to this, there’s really no other way…”
Regarding this matter, Gu Zhiming was more thorough than Gu Zhilin. Looking at the entire incident, from the drop in the Gu Corporation’s stock price to the scrapping of the WR project. Till today, this series of things must have been Gu Zhiqian’s doing, and the goal was to punish the Gu family, or rather, to punish Gu Zhilin.
Now that Gu Zhiqian was the boss of Glory World and a major shareholder of Gu Corporation, it was enough to explain everything. He was determined to get the position of Chairman of the Gu Corporation.
When Gu Zhihuan heard this, she immediately became anxious. “Brother, why are you saying this now? Are you also a fence-sitter like them?!”
“What do you know! If you don’t know anything, then shut up!” Gu Zhiming harshly reprimanded Gu Zhihuan. This Gu Zhihuan had no brain and was always a troublemaker.
Gu Zhiming looked at Gu Zhilin and said softly, “Big Brother, do you still not understand? The reason why we are facing this situation now is all because of Gu Zhiqian. If we don’t let him get what he wants today, then we don’t know what kind of suffering we will face in the future. Now that grandfather is gone, no one can protect us!”
Gu Zhiqian’s body began to tremble because of Gu Zhiming’s words. He understood the logic, but he was unwilling to be trampled under Gu Zhiqian’s feet.
Gu Zhiqian couldn’t be bothered to watch them dawdle. He said coldly, “Since President Gu can’t make a decision, then let the shareholders vote.”
“Yes, let’s vote. After all, today’s meeting was held to decide who should be the Chairman!” Gu Zhiqian’s proposal was quickly echoed by the shareholders and his clansmen.
