Rebirth of Military Lineage's Thousand Gold
Sumo Ru's appearance in front of everyone, the first impression she gave to everyone was a tailored lady's suit that fit her perfectly, but looked even more stunning on her than on a model. Her tall and slender figure, elegant and refined face, and a pair of dark pupils that seemed bottomless, yet no one dared to stare directly into those eyes. Her entire being exuded an aura of natural dignity and authority, unique and unmatched, making people involuntarily linger their gaze on her for a few more seconds.
Pushing Mu Xinhua directly into the conference room, everyone who was originally seated in the conference room stood up and slightly bowed to Mu Xinhua, "Chairman."
This rule, actually Muxinhua has always meant to abolish it. Everyone has been following her all the way, and the Mu family is also on their step-by-step efforts that they have today's scale, but people's respect for her is exceptionally strong, never agreed before, however, now it seems not entirely without benefits.
Mu Xin Hua's majesty was everywhere, and after entering the conference room, the originally lively conference room instantly fell silent.
Su Mo swept a glance around the conference table, where there were ten shareholders in total. Over the past week, Hui Qin had clearly explained to him the identities of these people and their relationships with Mu Xin Hua, so Su Mo only needed one glance to thoroughly understand everyone's identity.
On the left side, the first one is a man who appears to be about sixty years old, with a ruddy complexion. Among all shareholders, he looks relatively young, but he is also the second largest shareholder in the company after Mu Xinhua, owning 15% of the shares of the Mu Corporation. These shares were given to him by Mu Xinhua due to his contributions to the Mu Corporation when it was first established. According to Huiqin's description at the time, this man refused to accept them, but Mu Xinhua insisted, and he finally accepted reluctantly. However, it has been made clear that once Mu Xinhua has an heir, he will transfer the shares to her heir.
And on the right side, the first one, Sumojo is certainly not unfamiliar, apart from Huiqin's introduction, they have already met once.
A week ago, when she had just arrived in Hong Kong, this man was still causing a disturbance at the Mary Hospital villa where Mochou Hua lived. Although he left quickly after they returned to the villa, her memory has always been good, so she remembered him very clearly. This man was also one of the meritorious officials who walked with Mochou Hua in those years and was once a trusted confidant of Mochou Hua's. Mochou Hua had even given him 10% of the company's shares.
The remaining shareholders are scattered with small shares of 5%, 3% and 2%. Although they only account for 2-3%, for a large international company like Mu Corporation with assets worth tens of billions, the annual dividend is enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably without worrying about food, clothing and other expenses.
The most intimate and comforting old subordinate, now has some people who are eager for quick success and instant benefits, starting to make decisions that go against the will of Mu Xinhua.
It's impossible to say it doesn't hurt, although Mu Xinhua had never said anything to Su Moruo, she could feel that sometimes Mu Xinhua would sit alone on the balcony in her room for one or two hours, thinking about things, and they never disturbed her.
"Chairman, are you feeling better?" The first to speak was the man sitting on Mu Xinhua's left, Li Rongqing. To him, Mu Xinhua was a benefactor who had given him a second chance at life. Without Mu Xinhua, there would be no Li Rongqing today. Mu Xinhua had come to this meeting despite his illness, and in doing so, he had already guessed the reason why. He wasn't unaware of what the members of the board of directors had been up to lately, and he was naturally an object of their solicitation. There were too many temptations, but fortunately, he had always been clear-headed and had his own principles and bottom line, which was why he hadn't done anything to betray Mu Xinhua like those other people had. Seeing Mu Xinhua still sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed into the conference room by a young girl who looked no more than twenty years old, Li Rongqing asked with concern.
Mu Xinhua's eyes looked at Li Rongqing, this man had almost lost his life due to usury, but she happened to pass by and saved him. Unexpectedly, it was a good deed that brought blessings, all these years, even if she gave him 15% of the Mu Corporation's shares, he remained humble and down-to-earth, living a simple life without extravagance. Even their three-generation family lived in an ordinary apartment building, not like other shareholders who bought villas and lived luxuriously.
He nodded slightly and smiled, "Recently, with company matters, you've been working hard."
Li Rongqing listened, only smiling foolishly, "This is what I should do as the chairman." He naturally also heard Mu Xinhua's tone, but he was tired of him, and didn't tire others. In his heart, he let out a soft sigh, and glanced at Yang Hongchun opposite him with a hint of disappointment. They had been good friends for decades, but he never thought that in this matter, he would be the one to suffer. Although Big Sister was usually very lenient towards them, once her bottom line was crossed, no one could surpass her.
"Ah, sit down." Looking at Li Rongqing who was still standing still, he smiled slightly and gestured for him to take a seat. Then he turned his gaze to the other standing shareholders and smiled faintly, "Everyone, please sit down."
Same meaning, but completely different tone and attitude when spoken out loud.
For a moment, the conference room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling.
"Lately, I haven't been feeling well and have been recuperating in the hospital. As for company matters, it's all up to you all now." Mu Xinhua's voice was devoid of emotion, calm and collected, but everyone else sensed a storm brewing on the horizon.
"Nothing, the chairman is serious." Someone started giggling and replied with a sentence.
"Yes, Chairman, how can you say that? We have always been taken care of by you. What we are today is all thanks to your support. Now that you're not feeling well, you should take good care of yourself." Yang Hongchun's facial expression also became somewhat stiff, and his eyes didn't even dare to look directly into Mu Xinhua's eyes.
"Heh heh, your hearts are indeed good." Listening to these people's words, still without a hint of anger, his tone was neither warm nor cold.
"Alright, today I'm here to introduce someone. This is my granddaughter Su Moruo, the successor of the Mu family. As my health isn't good now, from now on, all big and small matters of the company will be handed over to her. I hope you can support her as you have supported me, and I believe she won't disappoint you."
“……”
In the spacious conference room, there were originally over a dozen people, and it was quiet to begin with. But as soon as this was said, even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
Yang Hongchun couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the young girl in front of him, so young and yet she was actually the current head of the Mu family?
That night's banquet, he also went, of course, and saw Su Mo Ruo. Although it was indeed good-looking, but at such a young age, how could he accurately grasp the future of Mu Shi?
Others were equally stunned, wondering if this little girl was being used by Mu Xin Hua to block their movements because of their intentions.
But with their understanding of Mu Xinhua's character, if it was just to stop their move and find a shield, this is not like her style at all.
Only Li Qingrong, with a faint smile in his eyes, looked at Su Moruo, and sighed in his heart. He seemed to have seen the young Mu Xinhua, although he had never seen Mu Xinhua when she was as old as Su Moruo, but he could vaguely imagine it.
"Big sister, then from now on, should we call Miss Su the chairwoman?" After who-knows-how-long, when the murmurs in the conference room gradually grew louder, Su Moruo heard Li Qingrong's voice. A pair of eyes with a hint of smile glanced at herself before turning towards Mu Xinhua.
It was her own decision, and for the first time in a meeting, she was treated this way. Although Mu Xin Hua's image outside is very broad-minded and tolerant, but when it comes to old subordinates, who doesn't have a temper? And these subordinates have always been very respectful of her, never treating her like this regarding the decisions she made, let alone what they did during her illness and recuperation period, which was even more heart-wrenching. So, being polite to them is simply not possible anymore.
Just as Muxinhua's anger reached the edge of fury, Li Qingrong's voice stopped her landslide.
Her eyes gazed at Li Qingrong, her face filled with a satisfied smile in response to him, "Mo Ruo is excellent, you will see it later."
As soon as these words came out, some people also heard them, but they didn't have a receptive reaction. Instead, they slightly frowned and looked at Su Mo with a somewhat disdainful expression.
"Chairman, please forgive our rashness, but we really don't understand what this girl's identity is. The Mu family has been built up by you and all of us through hard work together, how can it be handed over to someone who is completely unfamiliar...?" The speaker was an old man in his seventies, with age spots on his face, a stout body, and a look that suggested he had spent too many comfortable days.
As soon as this was said, some people began to echo it.
As for their reactions, Mu Xin Hua only knew that her gaze grew colder and colder, her decision would not allow others to intervene.
"It's better for all of you to shut your mouths, otherwise, I'm not sure if the temper will suddenly run out for no reason." The icy voice echoed in the large conference room, sounding exceptionally clear.
In an instant, the conference room seemed to freeze over with ice, and everyone suddenly shut their mouths, sitting up straight.
"...Chairman, although Mu is your family business, everyone else has also been working hard with you all the way. Mu's success is the result of our collective sweat and labor. You're giving it to this young girl...I don't know how other companies will view us in the future." Yang Hongchun felt uneasy in his heart, Mu Xinhua's authority in the company was not something to be taken lightly, but thinking about the current situation, he had no choice but to put on a brave face and confront this woman who used to be his most respected elder sister.
Her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she looked at Yang Hongchun sitting on her right side with a crooked smile, "Do you still remember how you followed me back then?"
“...Of course I remember.” The words were somewhat forced, his face a bit stiff, but his heart had already begun to tremble. Ah, yes, he had been living in comfort for too long and had forgotten the hardships of the past. If one were to talk about the Mu family, the person who had paid the most was naturally this head of the household, Mrs. Mu Xinhua, who was now respected by everyone in Hong Kong's high society. As for them, although they also worked hard, they received a salary and benefits. At that time, the Mu family was doing clothing business during the war-torn era, and she, as a woman, still persisted and grasped the best timing and geographical location, bringing the Mu family step by step from the midst of gunfire to where it is today. What they had paid out was really just a tiny bit compared to her, not even worth mentioning. Before entering the Mu family, he was just a small-time hoodlum, relying on fighting and seizing territory to get by day by day. If it weren't for a chance encounter that led him into the Mu family, if it weren't for the protection of this big sister, would he have made it to today? If it weren't for her personally taking charge every time they transported goods in danger, could they still be alive and enjoying their days in the vast Mu family, holding shares in the group and living comfortably?
"Do you still remember what you once said to me?" Looking at Yang Hongchun, this question was asked as if seeking a response from everyone.
Yang Hongchun lowered his head and remained silent.
Some people looked at Yang Hongchun lowering his head and slowly lowered their heads as well. Originally, this matter was first initiated by Yang Hongchun, so naturally they followed him. Since he had already lowered his head, what waves could these small shareholders stir up?
"After that, Mo Ruo became the chairman of the board, and I, being in poor health, formally retreated behind the scenes." With a smile, Mu Xinhua glanced at Su Mo Ruo, and after exchanging gazes with her, he officially announced this matter. Looking at everyone again, his eyes were neither stern nor gentle, but rather distant and detached.
Yang Hongchun heard these words and when he looked up at Mu Xinhua, he instantly lowered his head in shame.
"If there are no other opinions, today's meeting will end here. For the remaining matters, you can directly find Chairman Su." With that, he just smiled at Su Mo and then gestured to Huiqin, who was taking notes beside him, to come over and push his wheelchair out of the room.
As Huaiqin directly pushed Muxinhua out of the conference room, without giving anyone time to react, Sumo thought to herself, who would have known that Huaiqin, who usually followed Muxinhua around like a little assistant, was also a shareholder of the company, and another major shareholder besides Li Rongqing, owning 13% of the company's shares, with assets worth over 100 million, but her lifestyle and personality didn't seem like those of a billionaire at all, instead appearing so ordinary, just like an average woman, quiet and peaceful.
After Huaiqin pushed Muxinhua away, the conference room was left with only ten shareholders and Sumo, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit eerie.
Sumomo didn't seem embarrassed at all by Huiqin's departure, facing the gaze of many people. Her eyes stared straight ahead, her face expressionless, looking serious and rigid. "I suppose everyone has already gotten to know me from the introduction just now."
“……”
Li Rongqing just smiled slightly and nodded his head, which was taken as a response.
The others were all silent.
But this didn't anger Sumo at all, she still had the same expression as before, her voice calm, "Since everyone is so humble, let's have one person talk about my identity first."
No one had expected Su Mo Ruo to make such a move, and everyone thought that she was just too young, no one gave her a response, making it difficult for her to save face, but unexpectedly, her way of handling the situation was so mature, with a smile on her face, as if covered by countless layers of veil, unable to reveal her true self.
Everyone began exchanging glances with each other rapidly.
"You go ahead and tell them about my identity, after all... Director Mu has already introduced me earlier."
The man's eyes widened instantly as he listened to these words, and he was openly threatened by so many people. He was only a small shareholder of the Mu Corporation with 2% shares, and had always been in awe of the major shareholders. This time, he chose to stand on the same line as Yang Hongchun, completely because of Yang's repeated persuasion and temptation.
"Didn't you hear what Director Mu just said? Or didn't you hear it clearly?" The other party did not respond, and Su Mo also remained calm and composed, slowly picking up the teacup on the table, taking a slight sip, with elegant movements that made those watching feel delighted.
That shareholder looked left and right, but found that everyone was turning their heads away, not daring to look at his room. His face became increasingly ugly, until he was stiff, unable to utter a single word.
"It seems that this 2% share, given to you, is also reluctantly. He looked up at the silent man, who should also be in his sixties or seventies, but Su Mo Ruo said it out without blinking an eye. Respect for the elderly and love for the young depend on the object, and neither Su Mo Ruo nor Mu Qing have ever been kind people."
If people don't wait for me, why should I wait for them? This is Su Mo's understanding of interpersonal relationships.
These words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, although there was no loud noise or icy coldness, but a kind of fear that made people's hearts tremble suddenly appeared in the minds of most shareholders. A wave of chilliness rose from the soles of their feet to their throats and finally to their foreheads, exploding with a deafening crash.
Digression
I got back from the company relatively late, so I'm updating a bit later than usual, sorry everyone.
