Du Ming knew that these shareholders had no other choice now. Apart from himself, they had no alternative, which was the real reason he was willing to step forward.
"Congratulations, Chairman Du..."
"Congratulations, Chairman Du..."
Many people were congratulating Du Ming. Du Ming was overjoyed. Although he had long known the result, he still couldn't help feeling excited for this moment.
"Dear shareholders, I've specially held a party at Paradise Hotel. I sincerely welcome all of you to attend." Du Ming kept shaking hands with these people.
Slowly, most people in the meeting room had left. Only General Manager Fu remained sitting on his chair. "What's wrong, General Manager Fu? It seems you're not very happy."
Du Ming looked at General Manager Fu, hoping to see disappointment and hatred in his eyes, but he was destined to be disappointed because there was only calmness in General Manager Fu's eyes.
"Chairman Du, you're wrong. I just think that just as flowers don't stay in bloom for a hundred days, people don't always have good luck. Now that you've got what you want, you must cherish this moment."
Du Ming wanted to get angry at first, but as he got closer to General Manager Fu, General Manager Fu's clear eyes made Du Ming feel as if he had been seen through.
General Manager Fu ignored Du Ming and just walked past him. The assistant looked at Du Ming worriedly, wondering how Du Ming would lose his temper later.
"Chairman Du, don't be angry with such a small figure as General Manager Fu. Now you're the chairman. If General Manager Fu doesn't know his place, you can just fire him." The assistant whispered his suggestion into Du Ming's ear.
Du Ming actually wanted to fire General Manager Fu in his heart, but he had to admit that General Manager Fu was really capable. He had brought many clients to the company.
If he fired General Manager Fu, all these clients would leave the company with him. It was an unwise move. Du Ming suddenly felt that being the chairman was not as good as he had imagined.
"Nonsense! Do you know how important General Manager Fu is to the company? If you don't know anything, just get out of my way." Du Ming was in a fit of annoyance and directly took his anger out on the assistant.
The sun set and the moon rose. Paradise Hotel had been booked by Du Ming tonight for this special party. At this moment, the place was ablaze with lights. The colorful lights shone on people's faces, making them look like demons returning from hell, which was rather terrifying.
"Now, let's welcome our dear Chairman Du to the stage to give a speech." The assistant said with a smile on his face. His cheek was still a bit swollen, but it wasn't noticeable under the dim lights.
Amidst the applause, Du Ming walked onto the high platform. He gently put down the goblet in his hand, cleared his throat, and was about to start his speech.
"The development of our company couldn't have been achieved without all of you. I've held this party here today to reward all the shareholders. I hope all of you will enjoy yourselves..."
Just then, Du Ming suddenly paused. Under the dim lights, he clearly recognized Bai Yu and Liu Xu.
It seemed that some people were born to belong to the light. Even when they were in the darkness, they would still shine brightly and would never be buried.
Du Ming was a bit flustered, but then he thought that he had done everything flawlessly, so he secretly encouraged himself. "Have a good time. Don't let my kindness go to waste. Well, thank you all. I've said enough. Otherwise, I'll be disliked."
Below the stage, most of the shareholders were surrounding Du Ming, flattering him non - stop, making him feel on top of the world. Only a few shareholders were calmly watching this carnival from the side.
Suddenly, the noisy banquet became completely silent. A man appeared on the stage where the music had been playing before. This man was Yuan Ping.
"I heard that all you shareholders have elected a chairman on your own. You're quite capable. Why didn't anyone inform me?" Yuan Ping's expression was rather ambiguous.
To be honest, not many shareholders in the company knew him because Yuan Ping rarely showed up in the company before. "Who are you? I've booked this place. Get off the stage quickly. Don't make trouble."
Yuan Ping sneered and walked towards Du Ming step by step. He sized Du Ming up and down. "So it's you who wants to take my elder brother's position. You're not even worthy!"
Fu Qing knew that the savior he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He quickly stepped forward. "General Manager Yuan, let me introduce to all of you. General Manager He has long given the agency right of his shares to General Manager Yuan. The shareholders' meeting you held this morning is invalid."
Du Ming couldn't believe it. He had been scheming for so long and finally got this opportunity, but why did he fail so easily? It was impossible!
Yuan Ping originally wanted to stay with He Ting in the hospital for a while longer, but he didn't expect that there would really be someone who dared to make trouble. So he decided to take drastic measures.
He had been keeping a low profile before just to make Du Ming relax his vigilance. He had secretly collected evidence of Du Ming's embezzlement of company property for this very moment.
"Du Ming, you shouldn't covet things that don't belong to you. No one can take what belongs to my elder brother." Yuan Ping didn't take Du Ming seriously at all.
Du Ming was stupid to jump out so quickly. The real old fox was hiding behind the scenes. What Yuan Ping cared about was the person who had instigated this secretly.
"Excuse me. Are you Du Ming?" Two men in police uniforms suddenly appeared. They were brought by Yuan Ping because Yuan Ping had handed all the evidence to the police.
Du Ming nodded. He didn't know why the police were looking for him. He glanced at Yuan Ping and thought that it must be Yuan Ping who had brought them to deal with him.
"This is the arrest warrant. Please come with us." The police directly showed the arrest warrant. Du Ming wanted to struggle at first, but he didn't dare to assault the police, so he had no choice but to go with them.
"I believe all the shareholders have seen the end of a villain like Du Ming. I hope all of you can learn a lesson from this and don't make the same mistake. I'll handle the company's affairs properly. If you have any questions, I'll be waiting for all of you in the chairman's office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
After Yuan Ping finished speaking, he left with Fu Qing, leaving all the shareholders looking at each other in dismay, not knowing how to react. The situation had developed so fast that Du Ming had been arrested right after he became the chairman.
They weren't much cleaner than Du Ming, but they couldn't afford to be harassed by Yuan Ping. No matter how reluctant they were, they had to accept what Yuan Ping had said.
"General Manager He, how is he? Do you want me to go and see him too?" Fu Qing hadn't had time to visit He Ting because of the company's affairs. Now that Yuan Ping was willing to help share the burden, he finally had time to visit He Ting.
"Brother is out of danger. He just hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said he'll wake up soon. You'd better stay in the company. After all, you're the one who really understands the company's business."
