Chu Jingnan didn't expect everything to happen so quickly.
On the day when the press conference of Xiao's father and son ended, the Lin faction within the Xiao Group, which had been suppressed by Chu Jingnan and could not raise its head, launched a fierce counterattack against the Chu faction. The Lin faction had been dormant for a long time and was as powerful as a tiger and unstoppable. Chu Jingnan was defeated step by step. The directors who originally supported him switched sides to the Lin faction camp at the last minute, and the shareholders' meeting was also reshuffled.
Chu Jingnan was removed from the position of president by the Lin faction headed by the Lin family and all the directors of the board of directors.
The reason is that he is selfish and disregards the interests of all shareholders of the group. He attempts to dilute shares and strengthen his control over Xiao's company. He is eager for quick success and disregards the interests of the Xiao Group. He expands his business on a large scale, bringing huge operational risks to the Xiao Group.
A series of events caught Chu Jingnan off guard.
He originally thought that even without the support of the Xiao Group, with his 25% stake, plus the support of the powerful directors on the board and several shareholders on good terms with him, he might have the strength to compete with the Lin faction. However, he did not expect that those directors were all profit-seeking and were fence-sitters. When they saw that he was in a bad situation and at a disadvantage, they turned against him and did not leave him any room.
"Chu Jingnan, a shameful illegitimate child, what qualifications do you have to show off and issue orders in the Xiao Group? I gave you some face in the past, but it was only for the sake of the Xiao family. Without the Xiao family, you are nothing."
"He is a bastard who is trying to seize the Xiao Group. He should not even take a piss and reflect on his own moral character."
"Bah, you're not even worthy of carrying my shoes."
Chu Jingnan's ears were filled with those contemptuous, sarcastic words, which made him feel heartbroken.
Those directors and shareholders who used to be on good terms with him and supported him, and who had been so fawning on him in the past, now acted so high and mighty as if he were an ant. Their vicious faces and sarcastic words made him realize the truth.
He is Chu Jingnan, a illegitimate child who is looked down upon by others. No matter how outstanding he is, his birth will always be an indelible stain.
These directors looked down on his identity as an illegitimate child from the bottom of their hearts.
It is even more impossible to let them bow down to a bastard.
Xia Ruya had lost her mind and asked in a roar, "Didn't you say that the Xiao Group was under your control? Why did things develop to this point?"
The Li Group was gone, and it even served as a bridge for the Wen Group; her great-grandfather had abandoned her, and she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Li family; her only hope was the Xiao Group. She had already thought about how to use the only remaining chips in her hand to help Chu Jingnan completely take over the Xiao Group and make it grow stronger, but she had never expected that such a change would happen to the Xiao Group.
At this moment, Xia Ruya completely tasted the taste of despair.
Chu Jingnan could no longer maintain the gentle expression on his face, and he looked so gloomy that water was about to drip out: "How could I have known that the Xiao family father and son would act so quickly and so ruthlessly, directly abandoning the entire Xiao Group, which directly led to the Lin family gaining the support of most of the directors in the group."
He had never expected that the Xiao family father and son would cut off his source of trouble.
Having lost the support of the Xiao family, he did not have as deep a network of contacts as the Lin family, either in the management of the Xiao Group or in his connections, which is why he was completely defeated.
The Xiao family was willing to support him before, not really for the shareholding he held or to maintain the Xiao family's dominant position in the Xiao Group, but just to use him to deal with the powerful directors on the board of directors and to restrain the shareholders' meeting. After the board of directors and shareholders were suppressed by him, they would demolish the bridge after crossing the river and kick him out of the Xiao Group.
This time he used the opponent's trick against him, which was really a great move.
Despite all his precautions, he still fell into the trap of the old man of the Xiao family.
Xia Ruya's body softened, and she was a little unwilling: "Don't you hold 25% of Xiao's shares? How could you be easily defeated by the Lin family?"
At the end of the speech, she almost shouted, her frantic face full of disbelief and pregnancy towards Chu Jingnan.
Before, Chu Jingnan vowed to her that taking over the entire Xiao Corporation was just around the corner. However, within just a few days, he was kicked out of the Xiao Corporation’s board of directors and removed from all his positions. How could she accept this
"The Lin family and the board of directors have dismissed me from all my positions. I have lost my status as a shareholder of Xiao Corporation. The Lin family has come forward on behalf of Xiao Corporation to purchase all my shares. If I disagree, they will jointly file a request in court to deprive me of my shares."
At this time, Chu Jingnan already knew that without any support, he would not be able to gain any benefit from the Lin family.
The repurchase price of Xiao's shares was extremely low, which made him very dissatisfied. However, if he did not agree to the repurchase and took the case to court, he would probably get nothing. The Lin family did not give him any way out from the beginning.
Xia Ruya's eyes suddenly widened, and in her dark eyes, her emotions were as wet as poison: "Chu Jingnan, in order to take down the Xiao family, I did my best to help you. No matter what you asked for, I tried my best to satisfy you. I thought you could take down the entire Xiao family, but in the end, we failed. Are you worthy of me?"
The blows of the past few days have made Xia Ruya lose her mind.
The Xiao family's miscalculation left her with nothing.
Chu Jingnan frowned slightly, very unhappy with Xia Ruya's accusation, but still patiently explained: "It's mainly the Xiao family..."
Xia Ruya interrupted him fiercely: "Don't make excuses for me. You told me before that you have controlled the old man of the Xiao family and will not let him ruin our plan. In the end, you even kept his recovery a secret. I think you are simply incompetent!"
If Chu Jingnan wasn't so incompetent that he couldn't even control the old man of the Xiao family, why would she have taken this step
The more she thought about it, the more hatred she felt in her heart, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Jingnan became colder.
Chu Jingnan's face was gloomy, with obvious anger and even a hint of ferocity. He sneered, "I am incompetent, I don't have a great family background, and I am not as scheming as you. You are so capable, why didn't you save the Li Group? Instead, you let the Li Group become a bridge for the Wen family?"
Xia Ruya's words really touched Chu Jingnan's sore spot, completely arousing the inferiority complex buried deep in his heart.
"You—" Xia Ruya pointed her finger at him in frustration, her face full of anger.
Chu Jingnan sneered: "Xia Ruya, I have tolerated you for a long time."
After saying that, he turned around, strode to the door, slammed it and left.
The loving couple who once benefited each other have now turned against each other, all because of interests.
