Chapter 219 True and False Will
Although Pei Xiuyan was a little dazed at this time, she also sensed something was wrong, because all eyes were on her, which made her realize it all at once, and she looked up at the people around her blankly.
When she noticed that everyone was looking over, Pei Xiuyan's first feeling was not panic or withdrawal, but a frown, which made her very uncomfortable.
Pei Xiuyan glanced at everyone present indifferently, and under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, she sat down in her seat without any expression.
The presidents of the four major investment banks glanced at each other and withdrew their gazes.
They were each a little surprised. Looking at Pei Xiuyan's appearance, it seemed that they didn't know Chen Luo's arrangement, otherwise, how could they see that they had no expressions at all.
It was a real indifference, like not caring about anything.
Li Wencheng's father and son's expressions changed slightly. Although they knew in advance that the presidents of the four major investment banks would participate in the board meeting, they did not know their purpose after inquiring.
Now seeing these people's eyes are focused on Pei Xiuyan, it makes them feel a little bad in their hearts.
Because Li Wencheng and his son can be sure that the presidents of these four major investment banks are definitely not here for them.
However, they soon calmed down. Even if the four major investment banks really came for Pei Xiuyan, it would have no effect.
They do not have the right to vote and cannot influence the election of the president.
The other shareholders of the MC Group are also human beings. Seeing this scene, their expressions are quite strange, but their expressions quickly returned to normal, and they walked to their seats and took their seats.
"Dear members, due to the unfortunate death of the previous president, we will now hold the election of the next president. Before that, please stand up and observe a moment of silence for President Pei Zhuxi."
A middle-aged male host said with a sad expression on the podium.
Pei Xiuyan and Li Wencheng, who were sitting on the rostrum, stood up first, and everyone present also stood up, bowing their heads and starting to observe silence.
"Thank you, everyone, please take your seats."
The host said a word and continued, "Before we start, we first welcome the four presidents of Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Mellon and Citi to this board meeting."
The host spoke in English, but a simultaneous translation was specially arranged for simultaneous translation.
So as soon as he finished speaking, everyone present, except for Pei Xiuyan's expressionless face, all smiled and began to applaud enthusiastically.
The four presidents looked reserved, and nodded slightly at the people who looked around, saying hello.
"Then let's move on to today's topic, elect the next president." The host looked back at the three people behind him, "Pei Zhuxi's former president left a will before her death, and if she dies unfortunately, then her husband, Li Wencheng, vice president, will share the shares. , as well as daughter Pei Xiuyan and stepson Li Chenghuan, Minister Ben. Since Chairman Pei Zhuxi did not leave a clear distribution of Billy, it will be implemented in accordance with the law and will be divided into three equal parts, and the three of them will occupy 8.3% each. The chairman will also In the election among the three of them, do the directors here have any opinions?"
The audience was silent for a moment, and soon a middle-aged man about fifty years old said, "I have no opinion on the division of shares, but Miss Pei Xiuyan has been studying abroad and has no practical experience in business operations. I don't think she Some have the ability to serve as presidents.”
The shareholders present nodded one after another, and then someone spoke, "Vice Chairman Li Wencheng has been in charge of the management of the group before, and his achievements are obvious to all. I think Vice Chairman Li Wencheng should be directly succeeded as the chairman, there is no need for an election."
"Yeah, Miss Soo-yeon and Minister Lee Sung-hwan are too young to lead the MC Group!"
"Let's announce the results directly, everyone is very busy."
Seeing the overwhelming support for Li Wencheng as president in the conference room, Pei Xiuyan remained expressionless and did not show any emotion. She seemed to be not surprised by this situation at all, or she had expected it.
"Everyone, please be quiet." The male host used the microphone to stop the rioting in the venue loudly. "Since everyone present agrees, let's start voting directly."
The directors present nodded in agreement, and then began to hold the voting machine in their hands, as if in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to go home to collect their clothes.
"Please choose the person who chooses Chairman Li Wencheng"
"and many more."
Just when the male host was about to let the council members vote, Pei Xiuyan suddenly interrupted him.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and Pei Xiuyan, who was still in the mood just now, suddenly spoke, which surprised them.
Pei Xiuyan's expression at first was obviously resignation, what is she trying to do now?
"Miss Xiuyan, are you?"
Pei Xiuyan stood up, took a USB flash drive out of her hand, walked to the presidium, and inserted it into the computer case.
Then, regardless of the host's stunned expression, he turned on the huge electronic screen behind the podium.
Pei Xiuyan picked up the mouse and clicked a few times, and opened an electronic document on the electronic screen, which contained a scanned paper document.
When everyone present saw the content displayed on the electronic screen, they were all dumbfounded.
Because the document is written in Pei Zhuxi's will, but the content is completely different from what the host said.
The above shows that Pei Zhuxi transferred all the shares to his daughter Pei Xiuyan, and did not mention Li Wencheng and Li Chenghuan father and son at all.
The handwriting on the screen is very clear, not only Pei Zhuxi's signature, but also the co-signature of the previous chairman, Pei Zhenxiong.
And the time of the will below was exactly five years ago, when Pei Xiuyan just turned eighteen.
Everyone recalled that that time was when Pei Zhenxiong was critically ill, that is to say, at that time, Pei Zhenxiong had already asked Pei Zhuxi to make a will to prevent the MC group from falling into the hands of outsiders when she had an accident.
The expressions of all shareholders became strange, and the two wills appeared at the same time. No matter how you looked at it, Pei Xiuyan was more credible. After all, there was Pei Zhenxiong's signature on it.
Li Wencheng's father and son's expressions changed slightly, but they soon returned to normal. It seems that they did not expect Pei Xiuyan, who had always shown that she didn't care about anything, to suddenly make such a move at the council meeting.
But it didn't take long for the expressions of the two to return to normal, but the look at Pei Xiuyan took on a chilling air.
"Miss Xiuyan, because there are two wills now, can you prove the authenticity of this will?"
Pei Xiuyan said coldly, "This will was drafted by my grandfather and signed with my mother. The original is also in my hands, so I can ask someone to identify it, and there was also lawyer Hong from the legal department of the group present at the time to witness that he could Attest to the authenticity of this will."
