Chapter 1073: Nervous
“Mr. Ma, this is the former chairman’s secretary. Yesterday, I specifically asked him to inform all the other directors of the board meeting today, and also to retain a copy of the directors’ confirmation that they received the notice. However, none of the directors appeared for the board meeting today. You’re the best lawyer in Camino. As the chairman, do I have the authority to fire all of them?”
What? The best lawyer in Camino?
Ma?
Could it be Ma Xiaoping?
This person was the Nangong family’s personal lawyer! He had never lost any lawsuit, settling at most.
He was definitely a genius in the legal world—someone with a scary existence.
Leng Qirui managed to invite such a terrifying person?
How was that possible?
The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed gla.s.ses above a gentle smile that oddly reminded everyone of a sly fox. He spoke.
“Chairman Leng, you’re holding a board meeting today. Those directors all hold a part of the company’s shares, so they have the right to partic.i.p.ate or listen to the company’s management report. In other words, you don’t have the authority to remove them from the board unless they no longer own any shares.”
Chen Shan wanted to laugh when he heard that.
Was that embarra.s.sing enough for you, Chairman Leng?
“However…”
Mr. Ma digressed and said, “Since Secretary Chen has already informed them and they’re aware that there’s a board meeting today, their intentional absence or impunctuality means that they’ve given up their rights as directors. Therefore, Chairman Leng can continue the board meeting as planned. However, since no one is here to hold a board meeting, thus refusing the power given to them, Chairman Leng can be the sole decision-maker here. You may ask the secretary to present the established matters under each director.”
What?
Chen Shan’s eyes widened when he heard that.
Therefore, even if the directors did not attend the board meeting, Leng Qirui could give orders on his own?
Although Leng Qirui’s face was bruised all over, it could not conceal his originally handsome appearance. An evil grin cracked across his face and asked, “Then, what about personnel appointment and removal?”
Mr. Ma nodded. “You are the chairman. You have the right to appoint and remove personnel. However, you currently only hold 20% of Leng Group’s shares, and your grandfather still holds 20% of the shares, so you’re not the largest shareholder. You’ll need to have the approval of more than half of the company’s board members. However, if the company’s board members aren’t present and are unwilling to fulfill their duties, you can make the necessary changes directly. I will be your witness and you will have legal recognition.”
Leng Qirui nodded. “That’s good. If that’s the case, it’d be best if they skip the board meeting every time. Then, please be my witness. I wish to make some changes to the personnel.”
“All right.” Mr. Ma immediately took out his recording device and started to spread out his doc.u.ments.
Chen Shan knew the situation was souring and immediately said, “Chairman, the vice president called me. She might be arriving soon. Allow me to answer the call outside.”
Leng Qirui looked at Chen Shan with a half-smile on his face that sent Chen Shan into a rising panic. After that, only did Leng Qirui waved his hand lazily.
Chen Shan let out a huge sigh of relief.
Only when he walked out did he realize…
Why did he need to inhale so deeply?
Did he not look down on this chairman?
Chen Shan had only been with Leng Qirui for less than five minutes, so how did he become so nervous?
Chen Shan wiped the nervous sweat off his forehead and suppressed his rising shock. He immediately called Leng Jinchen and told her that Leng Qirui came prepared.
