BXBX NOVEL Chapter 564 Entrance
The meeting went on like that with differnt pressing matters laid on the table and solutions pitching in. Soon it came to an end. Now it was time for the topic of the new CEO.
It was at this time that Bai Guiren came in from the appointment he had. As usual, they all stood and bowed in greeting. Then they sat after he did.
"I hope all went well this this point," Bai Guiren asked.
"It went smoothly, Chairman Bai," Mr Yu replied.
Bai Guiren nodded repeatedly. "Very well. I shall go over all decisions made after the meeting. As for now, let us proceed to the main course topic of the day."
"It has been concluded and agreed upon that a new CEO is to collect the baton of power from Chairman Bai," Mr Sun began.
Each and every person present in that roim and around the table adjusted properly in their seats. The moment of decision is about to be made.
They knew they were splitted into two parties. One on Bai Ming\'s side and who the other party supported was a mystery. But all shall be known today.
"Chairman Bai has lead the company into success and heights for years. But it is of his will to let the young lead as they have more knowledge," Mr Yu continued.
"Now it is time for a decision to be made for an agreement. We cast our votes of choices of who we see as the most competent to be the next CEO of Bai Jewelry."
As soon as Mr Sun\'s words came to an end, Bai Guiren\'s assistant moved with a glass box in his hand. It had and open end to allow them droo their papers in the box.
Each member picked up the pen and paper in front of them and wrote down a name of thwir choice. The fifteen board member supporting Bai Ming all exchanged glances with each other.
Bai Ming also shot them threatening and reminding stares. That alone was enough to make them write down the supposed name. Even if it was not of their will.
Unknown to them, all these were noticed by the keen observer, Mr Sun. He saw their interactions and scoffed inwardly. To think that even Mr Yu would bend to her will.
He was dissapointed. While he wrote and tossed his paper into the now ballot box, his eyes caught Bai Ming staring straight at him. She had a mocking smile on her face.
It was small but he still saw it. No. She wanted him and only him to see it. It was as if she was challenging him but mocking him at the same time.
\'Let\'s see who emerges as the winner here.\' That was how best he interpreted the whole look she was shooting at him.
One by one, all the people seated at the long rectangular table tossed in their votes. It was their eyes that communicated. There was this suspense in the atmosphere.
But team Bai Ming were unbothered as it was of common knowledge, that the majority always win the vote.
"I suppose we have all casted our votes," Bai Guiren spoke as his assistant came to stand beside him with the box.
"Yes, we ha–"
BAM
"You most certainly have forgotten about, have you not?"
"clip clop clip clop*
*stomp stomp*
All eyes turned immediately to the source of sound. It was the rhythmic footsteps of heels and boots the new arrivals made. A fair beauty in the lead of tall bulky men in black.
They all had serious or rather emotionless faces and their eyes were hidden behind the dark shades of glasses they wore. It was Bai Renxiang, Lawyer Long and an entourage of bodyguards both from the Li and Jiang Household.
Eyes grew wide, gaspYis escaped their lips and the shock. Yes, the expression Bai Renxiang craved for.
It was all there- just as she envisoned it would be. A smile fell on her gorgeous face as she moved toward the shocked group. Seeing that they were still in a state of immobility, she snapped her finger.
SNAP
THUD
A loud thud resounded in the whole room even causing all things both living and non-livin to tremble. It woke the shocked once from their short circuit and brought them to the reality facing them.
"I am yet to cast my own vote," Bai Renxiang announced with her smile still intact.
"What is the meaning of this nonsense?" Mr Yu dared to raise his voice after regaining hus voice.
"Mind your tone Mr Yu," Lawyer Long spat back in a calm yet authoritative manner that it scared Mr Yu for a moment.
Meanwhile Bai was still trying to process what she was seeing. Her brain cohld not just fathom the sight her eyes werw seeing.
\'H-How come? Why is she here? Was she not supposed to be scared and rethinking whatever plan she had to bring us down? Who gave her the guts to come here?\'
Multiple unanswered question bombarded Bai Ming\'s head. Why would they not? Things were already working in her favour... Or so she thought.
So how and why is this happening?
"Why are you here? Last I recall you are not a board member and you no longer have any connection with my company," Bai Guiren finally spoke.
He seemed calm in the outside but he was panicking on the inside.
\'How come I did not receive a notification from my secretary or the receptionist?\' He thought.
A small chuckle left Bai Renxiang\'s lips as she shook her head. After she had her fill, she let out a long breath.
"Oh, Bai Guiren. You seem to have a short term memory if that is the \'last\' you recall," she intentionally emphasized last, in her words and then she chuckled again.
"Don\'t come here and misbehave. You have no business here," Bai Guiren said with a frown evident in his face.
"You see, you got one thing right in what you just said," Bai Renxiang waved her right hand and a chair was brought for her to sit at the table.
Mr Sun immediately made space for her and the sophisticated chair was positoned beside Bai Guiren.
"I, indeed have no business here because I AM the business here," she stated as she sat and her smiled dropped.
Now she had the face, the expression and the aura of a boss that she is. It made the members of the board as well as Bai Guiren and Bai Ming to feel shivers down their spine.
"Hahahahaha!"
Feminine laughter. Bai Ming was laughing with her head down and her hands clutching down on her stomach.
Bai Renxiang tilted her head to the side and shot the lady a questioning look. "Mind sharing with us what is amusing?"
"Of course. It is you I find amusing. First of all you put out a wonderful parade of a show, speak about wanting to cast your vote and now saying that you are the business of Bai Jewelry?" Bai Ming shook her head.
"Why wouldn\'t I find it amusing? Don\'t think too highly of yourself just because you are the wife of Li Fengjin."
"My oh my! Some people just choose to be stupidly naïve. My marrieage to my husband has nothing to do with my coming here. If you assume so because of the bodyguards with me, then I\'m sorry to burst your little bubble," Bai Renxiang remarked.
There was no way she would loose to a verbal battle with that stuck up swine. Hell no, she wouldn\'t. All her years of torment and learning can\'t go to waste.
Practicals are yet to be carried out.
"I have a power and authority of my own. I command just the way my dear husband does. It\'s not my fault that a certain pair are scared of me and are trying to use cheap means to avoid my taking over," Bai Renxiang shrugged.
"And what are you trying to imply by that?"
"Whatever it is that you understand, Bai Ming," Bai Renxiang sharply replied. The enemy must not have a breathing space.
Meanwhile, Bai Ming swore she felt her heart skip a beat in fear. Those last words that Bai Renxiang said caught her off guard.
\'She can\'t be referring to me and my mother, right? But with the way she was looking at me, it felt as if she knows we are behind the message.\'
Bai Ming then shook her head. \'No. I am overthinking things. Mum said the man she hired is very careful. He would leave no traces behind. Yes. You can\'t scare me Renxiang.\'
Unknwown to her, the greatest hacker of them all was already tracing the untraceable. Li Fengjin and Yang Chen were unto Jia Jiangyu. It was only a matter of time for everything to unfold.
"These are the document stating that my client, CEO Bai is a board member of this company."
