CHAPTER 556

In the meeting hall arranged at Emperor's Enterprise, ten people within the age range of the late forties to fifties, all in suits, sat around the long rectangular table.

Each wore an expression of anticipation or anxiousness. Some were even happy because they were tired of Bai Guiren and his daughter's reign.

"I hope this meeting would be worth the chances we are taking, Mr Sun," one of the men spoke(let's call him Mr A)

"It would definitely be worth it. But if you do not feel it would, you are free to leave," Mr Sun replied.

"Don't get so hot-headed now, Mr Sun," Mr B joined in.

"I am not getting hot-headed. I am only being reasonable. We all know CEO Bai is the rightful person to take over the company. Things would be better for us if she takes that sit. There are more business benefits," Mr Sun explained.

"And what are those benefits, if I may ask?"

"First of all–"

"Your so-called company will have lots of business investors which it has been struggling to get," a bold feminine voice rang out in the room.

All heads turned in the direction of the voice and behold, she stood there as charming and daring as ever. She wore a white pantsuit with a red inner shirt. The jacket is a bit longer like a coat.

A pair of red stiletto heels, a white wristwatch and jewellery. Her hair left to cascade in beautiful waves down to her waist and a little on her shoulder.

Her makeup? Always as minimum as it can be but with a touch of red on her lips.

Beside her stood Lawyer Long in a black three-piece suit and his regular black briefcase with a little gold as a design. Also, twelve other bulky bodyguards filed into the room and took a round stance.

"CEO Bai," Mr Sun called as he stood up from his chair to show his respect.

Bai Renxiang gave him a slight nod before her eyes swept past the other faces in the room. She took in their expression and her brows arched.

"Well you have a pretty nice way of paying respect to your future boss," she said before taking majestic steps into the room.

On hearing her words, it was as if they were put under a magic spell. They all immediately stood up and dipped their head in.

"Good afternoon, CEO Bai." And then greeted in unison.

They felt tensed. First her aura and second those bulky bodyguards.

A small smirk appeared on Bai Renxiang's lips. She would have to straighten out a few things with this set of oldies. She walked up to the head of the table and one of the bodyguards pulled out the chair for her.

With a word of appreciation, Bai Renxiang sat legs crossed, an elbow propped to hold her chin and the other left to rest. There. A pose of dominance.

After she took her sit, Lawyer Long went to stand in front of the only empty sit in the room. It was the left-hand side of Bai Renxiang and Mr Sun stood on the right.

With a flick of her wrist like a signal, they all sat down. Once again, her eyes moved before they landed on Mr A.

"This meeting is going to be very brief. It is mainly because we all have one common objective in mind. And that is to take out Bai Ming," she began.

"As for the rest which can barely amount to fingers, on one hand, I would be straightening them out."

Bai Renxiang then nodded at Lawyer Long and one of the bodyguards. The bulky man walked up to Lawyer Long and collected a stack of black-covered files.

He began dropping each one of them in front of the other ten persons sitting

there. After doing work, he took a few steps back to stand in line with his brothers in black.

"What is this?" A woman asked. She and three other women were the only females in the group of ten.

"Well, open it and see for yourself," Bai Renxiang replied.

Mr Sun does not wait for any more go-ahead. He did just as she wanted. Exchanging glances with each other, the rest followed suit. It took a while but she started getting their reactions.

There was shock and very few expectations.

"You are making us sign an agreement as a plague of loyalty?" Mr B voiced out loud his thoughts.

"Yes. The contents are very clear," Lawyer Long answered in her stead.

"But us being here is already enough to prove our loyalty. Besides, you are the one that needs to gain our trust even if we have already decided to vote you in as the next CEO," said Mr C.

"You being here only clarifies your disapproval of having Bai Ming as the next CEO. It is not loyalty that made you come here," Bai Renxiang disputed his words.

Silent befell the room after that. Everyone was in deep thought. After a while, Mr Sun took out a pen from his inner coat pocket, read through and signed wherever it was necessary.

The two other women followed and soon, one by one, they all signed the papers. The bodyguard came up to each of them again and took the file before stepping away.

"Now that we are all, on the same page, let us talk about the reason for your decision of becoming CEO," Mr A started.

'It seems as if he is the voice of the other eight board members,' Bai Renxiang thought.

"I do not need a reason to head what is rightfully mine," she answered.

"And how is that true?" Mr A fired another question.

"Do I have to help you jog your old memory, Mr A?" Bai Renxiang questioned back. She had her head slightly tilted to the side.

Sewing as the man was trying to keep his anger in check by gritting his teeth, Bai Renxiang let out a small chuckle.

"Alright then," she shrugged. "I think you must have forgotten how this Bai Jewellery was on the brink of bankruptcy at a certain point in time in the past. If not for also a certain kind lady from a family wealthier than the Bai's you all would not have been Ora's board members."

"Now that certain lady is my mother, you see. Helping the company felt like building a castle from the scratch. Along the way, the ownership of the company became hers. However, cunning shameless and greedy Bai Guiren has made everyone believe otherwise."

Sighing, Bai Renxiang shook her head. "Sadly, the veil over everyone's eyes would soon be taken off. I am claiming what is mine, after all, I know you all can't let an illegitimate child boss you around."

Her last words caused a spark in their minds. Of course. How could they have forgotten about that? Bai Ming is indeed the child of Bai Guiren's mistress.

There is no way they would allow her to take that sit.

"But how are we going to win? We all know that there would be a vote. And Bai Ming clearly has the bigger number," another man voiced out his worries.

All attention immediately shifted to him. He was sitting at the far end of the table, in a grey-coloured suit.

"Whether she has the bigger number or not is not the problem. The only thing you all need to do is cast your vote for me. I shall take care of the rest," Bai Renxiang answered.

"Alright," the man nodded.

Bai Renxiang then pushed her chair back a bit before she stood. She slightly pulled down her suit jacket.

"Alright. That is all for today. Our next meeting would be on the day of the vote," she said.

Everyone else stood as well. Bai Renxiang nodded at Mr Sun before she took her to leave. One by one, they walked out of the room with the bodyguards behind .

"Mr Sun," Bai Renxiang called.

"Yes, CEO Bai," Mr Sun quickly increased his pace till he was beside her.

"I want you to inform me of the day of the vote," she gave her order.

"Yes, CEO Bai," he nodded. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

"Good. So keep your ears open and be quick. That mother and daughter duo will do everything in their power to quicken the whole process."

"I will not fail you, CEO Bai. You can be assured of that he said.

Bai Renxiang nodded. "Very well then."

Just as they made a turn, a familiar tall figure greeted their sight. They paused in their tracks as Li Fengjin raised his head from his phone.

His eyes brightened up a bit before he pushed his back off the wall he was elegantly leaning against.

"Hey there, my love," he greeted with a smile made just for his wife. He dipped his phone back into his pocket and walked up to her.

Then he planted a soft kiss on her lips.
