Chapter 274 Seizing Power
Facing this aunt who looked only a few years older than her, Shi Qingxue hesitated for a long time, her face red and she couldn't utter a word.
To say that she doesn't like it is just lying with open eyes. Shi Qingxue herself can't get over this hurdle.
But if I say I like her, wouldn't that be a confession? If my aunt catches me and tells my parents, how can I be saved?
However, what Shi Qingxue didn't expect was that Su Yun smiled and put her arm around her shoulders, saying nonchalantly, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. If you like it, then you like it. At your age, you should enjoy your youth without worries, and leave behind a beautiful memory that will be remembered for a lifetime."
After a pause, she continued, "You can have fun as you like, but you must not do anything out of line, understand? Now is the age to fall in love, not the age to be absurd. Whether you are a boy or a girl, you must respect yourself. Only when you cherish yourself will others respect you, understand? This is responsible for yourself and your future husband."
Shi Qingxue opened her eyes wide, nodded in astonishment, and then replied in a low voice, "I know."
"Let's go home."
When he got home, Shi Caijiang was not at home as usual. After all, they were almost on the verge of a falling out, and he could be said to be in a state where he had no home to return to.
There was a sumptuous meal on the table. Su Yunjin greeted the two with a smile on her face: "It's time to eat."
Looking at the table full of food, Su Yunwei was even more eager to try. She sniffed hard and exclaimed, "It smells so good. It seems that my decision to return to China was right. In the United States, all I eat is fried chicken burgers or steak and fries, which is simply disgusting."
Su Yunjin immediately wiped her hands with a smile and said teasingly, "Then why are you still clamoring to go abroad all day long?"
Su Yunwei stubbornly retorted, "Except for food, whether it's science and technology or economy and culture, they are all leading there. I went there to learn advanced knowledge."
"Yes, yes, you are right, let's eat."
During the meal, Su Yunwei had been asking Su Yunjin and Shi Qingxue about what Shi Caijiang had done.
Anyway, things have come to this point, and divorce is a foregone conclusion. Su Yunjin doesn't want to keep all the anger of the past decade pent up in her heart, so she tells Su Yunwei everything she knows.
Su Yunwei felt her teeth itching as she said angrily, "This Shi Caijiang is simply a scumbag. Has his conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Just at this moment, Yang Xiuzhen happened to call.
"Xiao Wei, how is the investigation going?"
Su Yunwei was very angry now, so she didn't care about anything and just told Yang Xiuzhen everything that Shi Caijiang had done.
After hearing this, Yang Xiuzhen was immediately furious and said, "How can this be! This General Shi simply doesn't take our Su family seriously! Is there any way to fight back against General Shi? Our dignified Su family will never be wronged like this!"
Su Yunwei was quite troubled by this and sighed, "I have already understood the situation. Although Shi Caijiang is not a good person, he is still capable. At least we can't find any evidence against him. As for some of his under-the-table tricks, the Su family has long since turned to overseas development and has no influence in China. They are basically helpless in dealing with a local tyrant like Shi Caijiang."
Yang Xiuzhen felt very unhappy and said in a harsh tone: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Su Yunwei is the person closest to her elder sister Su Yunjin in the family, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I can't let it go like this. He dared to let my sister down, how could I let him off so easily? Don't worry, Mom, I will handle this matter, and I guarantee that he will not be able to escape with the consequences."
"Okay, I believe in your ability, do it as soon as possible. I am not in the country either. If I were in the country, I would chop this bastard off with my own hands."
Having been in the business world for decades, Yang Xiuzhen is certainly not a weak housewife. She has always had a tough character and never shows mercy to her enemies.
After learning about what happened to her daughter, how could she, as a mother, sit still? She wished she could return to China in person to settle the score with Shi Caijiang.
"Okay, Mom, calm down. It's just dawn over there, right? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Su Yunwei chatted with Yang Xiuzhen for a few more words. After hanging up the phone, she went straight to Su Yunjin and said to her in person: "Sister, I have decided. I will hold a shareholders' meeting tomorrow to announce the news of the Su family's capital injection. All shareholders must be present."
Su Yunjin did not object: "Well, I will arrange it later."
After dinner and a short rest, Shi Qingxue went to school for class, while Su Yunwei and Su Yunjin discussed tomorrow's meeting.
On the next morning, in the meeting room of Shijinji Food Company, more than a dozen shareholders sat together, including Shi Caijiang, who had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless.
Su Yunjin also comes from a big family. Before, she didn't care about the company in order to stay at home to take care of her husband and children. Now, she is making a strong move and has Su Yunwei by her side to assist her. Even though Shi Caijiang is still the boss in name, he can only sit next to her.
After putting everything aside, Su Yunjin seemed to have turned back into the strong career woman she was a dozen or twenty years ago, exuding imposing presence wherever she went.
She glanced around sharply and announced in front of everyone, "Okay, everyone is here, let's have a meeting. Originally, I didn't want to trouble you all by coming here so early in the morning. But I think everyone should know about the current situation of Shijinji. Let me put it this way, Shijinji now has no money to buy raw materials for the production of New Year candy. In order to maintain the operation of Shijinji, I have to ask my family for help. And now, my sister is bringing 10 million to invest in Shijinji on behalf of the Su family, hoping to help everyone tide over the difficulties."
Many people present here do not know that Shijinji is currently facing a business crisis.
After all, they are ordinary investors who do not participate in daily operations and management, but only receive dividends. So when Su Yunjin said this, they were all very surprised and talked about it.
"What? Shijinji is about to go out of business?"
"Aren't Shi Jin Ji's products always popular? We even opened up channels to sell to Hong Kong. How could the business fail?"
"What happened?"
After all, it involves investment dividends, so shareholders are still very concerned about this matter.
Su Yun smiled coldly and exposed the scandal of General Shi in public: "Speaking of this, I have to ask your President Shi. He is an ungrateful Phoenix man who has a mistress outside and even has a child..."
Su Yunwei was about to continue to accuse Shi Caijiang of his crimes, but was interrupted by Shi Caijiang: "This is the company, and we are holding a shareholders' meeting. You didn't ask me to come here just to talk about my personal affairs, did you?"
Although he didn't dare to look Su Yunjin directly in the eye, his tone of voice sounded like a smug villain. The Su family has always looked down on him as a son-in-law, and this time he wanted to prove to everyone in the Su family that he was no worse than anyone else.
Su Yunjin looked at Shi Caijiang's guilt-free appearance, and her last hope for him was completely dashed. She was extremely sad, but she didn't cry. Instead, she asked calmly, "Shi Caijiang, why did you do this? How have I ever let you down?"
Facing Su Yunjin's gaze, Shi Caijiang was a little uncomfortable at first, but thinking that things had come to this point and that he, Shi Caijiang, would soon be able to take off again with Jingyi Real Estate, he became much tougher and looked directly at Su Yunjin and said, "You didn't let me down, I let you down."
Facing his first wife, Shi Caijiang still felt very guilty, thinking back to when he was penniless, and it was Su Yunjin who sold her dowry so that he could start his own business.
And over the years, she has been working hard and being a good helper at home so that Shi Caijiang can focus on his work outside.
By now, Shi Caijiang has achieved great success and has a net worth of hundreds of millions.
But human beings are the most greedy creatures.
Shi Caijiang holds a grudge against the Su family for looking down on him in the past, and wonders if the Su family will take the opportunity to take him over if he makes more money and achieves greater success in the future.
After all, Su Yunjin has shares in his company.
Of course, as a man in his forties who still holds traditional ideas, Shi Caijiang now urgently wants a son who can carry on the family line.
Therefore, even though he felt guilty at this moment, he never regretted it.
Seeing General Shi Cai like this, Su Yunjin felt disheartened.
Back then, although Shi Caijiang was poor, he was very ambitious. No matter what happened, he was always high-spirited and forged ahead.
It was because of this that Su Yunjin married him despite the opposition of her parents and family.
However, my true love was ultimately given to the wrong person.
Su Yunwei saw that her sister was about to lose control of her emotions, so she stopped her sister decisively and said, "Okay, this is the shareholders' meeting. Let's put aside the emotional matters for a while and talk about business. Shi Jin Ji now has less than 100,000 yuan in working capital on its books, which is not enough to buy raw materials."
Then Su Yunwei's cold eyes fell on General Shi like a knife, and her words were even more impolite: "In the hands of President Shi, Shi Jin Ji has not achieved any development for several consecutive years, and is on the verge of bankruptcy. In order to lead Shi Jin Ji out of its predicament and achieve long-term development, I propose that everyone vote to re-elect the executive director."
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that the Su family was going to officially intervene and seize power.
Shicaijiang’s current assets are approximately 260 million, but most of them are fixed assets, including factories, machines, raw materials, etc., and the cash is only a little over 100 million at most.
Before that, Shi Caijiang had already cashed out through various means and transferred away almost all of Shijinji's cash.
Currently, there are only a few hundred thousand in cash on Shijinji's account. This amount of money is not enough to repay various due payments, and it is likely that it is not even enough to pay next month's salaries.
In order to prevent Shi Cai from letting this "traitor" continue to cause trouble, and also to stand up for Su Yunjin and prevent her sister from losing both her money and her life, Su Yunwei publicly proposed to remove him from his position.
Shi Caijiang would certainly not give up control easily, and he said without hesitation: "I object!"
He holds 48% of Shi Jin Ji's shares, while Su Yunjin only holds 17%. So even if Su Yunwei proposes to remove Shi Caijiang and can get the support of other small shareholders and obtain another 11% of the voting rights, Shi Caijiang can directly veto it with one vote. After all, he has more say than Su Yunjin.
Lei Peilin couldn't sit still any longer and said, "Boss Shi, Shijinji is now at a critical juncture of life and death, please give everyone a way to survive."
Others also echoed this. After all, their interests were no longer in the same trench with Shi Caijiang at the moment.
"General Shi Cai, we don't care about your personal affairs, but Shi Jin Ji belongs to all of us, and we can't let you do whatever you want."
"Yes, you have ruined Shijinji in your hands. For the sake of our past friendship, please stop being so stubborn and give the employees a way out."
Faced with the pressure from shareholders, General Shi Cai looked at him coldly and said loudly: "I founded the company, can't I make the decision myself?"
Su Yunwei sneered when she heard this: "You founded the company? If my sister hadn't sold her dowry and used all of it to give you a business, would you be in this situation today? You still have the nerve to say that this company is yours?"
Faced with such doubts, Shi Caijiang said shamelessly: "Although the money for starting the business was given by her, the money I spent on her over the years can be regarded as returning all the money to her. The reason why Shi Jin Ji can be run to this scale today is due to my ability. What does it have to do with her?"
The more inferior a person is, the more likely he is to become arrogant after he succeeds.
The success of Shijinji is due not only to Shi Caijiang, but also to the booming economy in the southeastern coastal areas after the reform and opening up, which has enabled people to have money to spend. It is also due to the hard work of a group of old employees such as Lei Peilin, and the first pot of gold that Su Yunjin invested in him is even more crucial.
The sum of all these factors is the key to Shijinji’s success.
However, as Lei Shuahou said, if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.
But after some pigs fly, they start to become arrogant, thinking that they have wings on their backs and are born to soar into the sky. They also act like they are superior and domineering.
Today's wealthy generals are just this kind of people, they don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Once they achieve a little success, they become so inflated that they don't know how much they can eat.
A tree without bark is doomed to die, and a person without shame is invincible. Seeing that General Shi Cai could say such words, Su Yunwei knew that there was no point in arguing any further.
She looked around at everyone present and said, "Alright, stop talking about this. Shijinji is short of funds now, and my Su family wants to inject capital and redistribute the company's equity. Who is in favor and who is against?"
