Guide to Divorce in Wealthy Families

Chapter17

Finally having overcome the last difficulty, Qin Chun rested and recharged her energy that night and had a good sleep.

The next day, she got up early, put on light makeup, and changed into a professional suit. A small suit and wide-leg pants, stylish and capable. The only thing that annoyed her was that this short hair was messy again after a night's sleep. She had to spend about fifteen minutes taking care of it, straightening it and spraying hairspray. It was not easy to finally get it done.

A week ago, when she had the idea of divorce and cut her long hair short, she didn't think of this at all. Now she is a little regretful.

Just get a divorce. Why cut your hair?

Moreover, plans can't keep up with changes. Now with the situation in Taohuayuan Town like this, she can't completely cut off from Xiao Bingyang. The matter of divorce has to be put on hold for the time being.

When she arrived at the company, Xiao Ning, the special assistant, was already waiting for her. As soon as she saw her, she hurried up.

"President Qin," Xiao Ning lowered her voice. "President Yu of Minfu Bank just entered Chairman Qin's office."

Qin Chun's heart sank.

Yu Feihua is Qin Chengshan's good friend. He is also an old shareholder and director who started a business with Qin Chengshan. When Qin Chun visited him the day before yesterday, he reminisced with Qin Chun about the past. When it came to an emotional point, his eyes were red. In the end, he readily agreed to support Qin Chun at the board of directors.

In just one day, has there been a change?

Before she could think about it carefully, the door of Qin Chengliang's office opened. Qin Chengliang and Yu Feihua walked out with their arms around each other's shoulders. They talked one sentence after another and burst out hearty laughter from time to time.

As soon as they saw Qin Chun, Yu Feihua suddenly withdrew his hand. He greeted a little awkwardly, "Xiaoyu, here you are."

"Uncle Yu, what are you talking about so happily?" Qin Chun was calm. "If there is any profitable thing, bring your niece along."

"No. We were just talking about playing golf." Yu Feihua said warmly. "Let's make an appointment some other day. If you don't know how to play, uncle can teach you."

"My niece likes playing tennis. She almost had a falling out with my brother because of playing tennis before." Qin Chengliang smiled meaningfully. Then he lightly slapped his own mouth. "Look at my memory. I shouldn't have mentioned this."

Yu Feihua was curious and asked, "What's the fuss about playing tennis?"

"Let's not talk about this. Let's go. Let's go to the meeting." Qin Chengliang pulled Yu Feihua in. The two whispered to each other from time to time as if they were saying something in secret.

Qin Chun stood still without moving. Her face was slightly pale.

"What tricks is he playing?" Xiao Ning was a little worried. "Will President Yu change his mind?"

Qin Chun calmed herself down. "Respond to changes with constancy."

Before this morning, she was still eighty percent confident in the election result. The five directors she visited all promised to support her. In this case, she would narrowly win over Qin Chengliang with six votes to five. But now, this possibility has been greatly reduced.

In a last resort, she could only use the shares in her hand to take back control through Xiao Xu. But it would take more energy, endure more criticism, and might also plunge the company into great turmoil.

Entering the conference room, almost all the directors were there. After some business small talk and mutual compliments for a while, the secretary of the board announced that the board of directors election officially began. Because there were candidates for chairman this time, Qin Chun and Qin Chengliang made brief statements before the election respectively.

The two had exactly opposite business philosophies. One was young but steady and conservative, hoping to continue to refine, strengthen, and deepen the main business. The other was older but radical and bold, hoping to open up new industries to achieve industrial upgrading and obtain high profits.

The directors raised some concerns they were paying attention to. Qin Chun was calm and answered one by one.

The ballots were submitted. The secretary of the board announced the result. Six to five. Qin Chun won.

In the entire conference room, there was silence for nearly five minutes. Even Qin Chun couldn't believe that she actually won narrowly as expected.

Did Yu Feihua defect or not? If he defected, then who cast this overwhelming vote? If not, Yu Feihua's act just now was too obvious. He didn't need to completely offend Qin Chengliang for Qin Chun.

The sound of applause broke the silence in the conference room.

Qin Chengliang was the first to stand up. While clapping, he smiled and sighed. "Congratulations, Xiaoyu. Truly, the waves behind drive on those before. As an uncle, I can finally unload the burden and hand it over to the young people. This is a good thing. A good thing."

"Uncle, you are too polite. I still lack experience and need to learn more from you." Qin Chun politely exchanged compliments in business.

"Don't worry. I will definitely tell you everything I know." Qin Chengliang had a sincere expression. "After all, we are family. We all express our opinions for the better development of the company. In the future, we will seek common ground while reserving differences and work together to develop and strengthen the company."

The directors in the conference room also came to their senses and came forward to congratulate one after another.

Qin Chun let out a sigh of relief.

Whether Qin Chengliang was sincere or not, but making such a statement on the surface could avoid some unnecessary rumors and allow the company to have a smooth transition during the power transfer.

The whole afternoon, Qin Chun spent in busyness. Her office needed to be moved back to the headquarters from the podium building. Relevant personnel needed to be transferred. Some work needed to be handed over. When it was almost settled, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the secretary's office sent out an email to the whole company, officially announcing that Qin Chun would take over as chairman and publishing it on the company's official website.

Qin Chun looked at the main text of the email. The wording was and there were no loopholes.

Recently, the stock market has been sluggish and the entire real estate industry is in a downturn. It has been hovering at a low level for a long time. After this news came out, it didn't cause much discussion. Everything seemed relatively stable.

She was about to log out. The email was automatically retrieved. Two unread emails popped up. The first email address was an unvalidated strange address with a line of garbled characters in front. Qin Chun clicked it casually. Glanced at it. Just when she was about to throw it into the trash can, suddenly, her finger paused.

This was actually an email reporting in wording.

[Respected chairman, hello. I am an employee of the company. Over the years, I have witnessed the company's prosperity and decline. I deeply regret that the painstaking efforts of the old chairman have been trampled on. The main reason why the Taohuayuan Town project has been suspended is that a huge amount of funds has been misappropriated. The whereabouts are unknown. I hope for a thorough investigation.]

A chill spread from Qin Chun's fingertips and gradually spread.

The people who can misappropriate huge amounts of funds in the entire group are only two, her and Qin Chengliang. Is the reason why Qin Chengliang wants to cut off the Taohuayuan Town project here?
