Chapter 1108 - 445: Everyone’s Happy, So Who Actually Lost? (Part 2)

Instead, Gao Shen himself didn’t care about the court case, sent a female assistant to attend—very pretty, 99% likely his new favorite.

"I don’t have time to play these childish boring games with you."

Gao Shen met with Bai Yuqiu yesterday, carrying an air of superiority, his gaze completely calm again.

"I know you’ve leaned on Han Lie, your days ahead might be decent, but I am no longer the ignorant Meng from Wu under the old sun.

I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely outdo Han Lie in the future, but how does being the esteemed Mrs. Gao compare to being a mere fringe mistress?

Unfortunately, you no longer have the chance to regret... That’s all, take care of yourself!"

Bai Yuqiu: ???

Completely dumbfounded, utterly speechless.

Then on May 4th, as the trial proceeded just a little, that flamboyant assistant began to break a sweat.

What the hell!

Where did the ex get all those asset proof documents?!

Shen Ge Shen Ge, please come quickly, the home is being robbed!

...

Momentarily shifting the focus to another major event.

At 9:30 am, Gao Yuan Real Estate’s shareholder meeting was held smoothly as planned.

First major shareholder Gao Yijun, second major shareholder Duan Xiaofeng, President Lin with 18% of shares, proxy for a mysterious company’s 6% shares, representative of a Hong Kong-funded company...

The scene was absent of Han Lie’s presence.

President Lin turned around and asked, "Where is President Han? I’ve admired President Han for a long time, unfortunately never having the chance to meet him, is it the same today?"

President Lin, a gentlemanly middle-aged man, wore a neat suit.

Lizzy, Han Lie’s assistant, nodded in greeting, replying politely, "President Han has very important work, I’m his assistant, Liang Wu."

Gao Yijun was already informed about Han Lie not showing up, after a brief round of introductions, he eagerly began the proceedings.

As present, Han Lie’s visible shares stand at 25%, making him the second major shareholder individually.

However, Gao Yijun and his wife hold 39.2%, plus 0.8% from his brother-in-law, and his son Gao Shen’s 11%, they’re still the controlling party.

So everything’s under control.

"Next up is the first major agenda item—amendment of the company’s rules."

The company secretary started speaking, guiding the process.

"Given that all shareholders have their own businesses and aren’t focusing their energy here, leading to major decisions taking a long time with repeated communication..."

A very strong reason, aiming to give the board of directors greater authority.

Basically: informing the shareholders on key matters, then getting down to business, and afterward reporting to shareholders at special meetings.

In the past, Gao Yijun had absolute dominance, so there wasn’t a need for rules to confirm power.

However, with his left and right arms out of the game and Han Lie entering, his power is waning, hence he has to find another way.

The core idea boils down to two words—centralization.

Before voting, President Lin discreetly glanced at Liang Wu.

At the same time, the Hong Kong representative sat calmly, waiting for others to vote first.

He’s actually waiting for Liang Wu.

Fifteen days ago, when the company secretary was actioning the meeting notice procedure, Gao Shen already called Han Lie for advice.

"God Lie, my dad is holding a shareholder meeting, how should I vote?"

The current situation is, the transfer agreement between Han Lie and Gao Shen is signed, but not yet effective.

The property ownership isn’t clear, Han Lie hasn’t paid the remainder, relevant clauses are set.

Thus, only the Hong Kong holding company’s representative could attend.

Gao Shen knows the shares are still in his hands, but without asking he’s unsure.

Han Lie chuckled easily: "Whatever he proposes, we’ll just agree, I don’t have the patience to drag this out with him."

"Oh, then I’ll vote in favor, no idea what he’s up to..."

What else, to collect some cash for personal comfort.

Gao Shen knew full well, but he couldn’t be bothered, building small-scale houses is nothing compared to the thrill of playing with internet finance.

Thus, he specifically instructed the proxy: "During the meeting, vote along with President Han’s side."

The proxy was puzzled: "Then your father..."

What father!

Now my real dad is Han Lie!

With the framework of the internet finance company set, when formally operational, it entirely relies on Lie Dad for funds, investments, and raising money outside.

Old Gao even made my wife disappear, and now set his eyes on my money, why bother!

Consequently, the scene immediately became quite delicate.

Yet Lizzy, the assistant, remained very calm.

At the first opportunity, she silently cast her approval vote.

President Lin and the Hong Kong representative promptly followed suit, seemingly in complete agreement, just a step behind.

Gao Diaomao was thrilled, feeling as though the company was still entirely under his control, enthusiasm surged.

Did you see? I can still have three big bowls!

Then proceed to the second agenda item.

—Reduce company debt, repay some liabilities.

The reason was again quite strong.

"To ease cost pressures, optimize the company’s debt structure, increase bank credit space..."

Summed up in one sentence: First, take some money from the company’s account to repay the debt lent by Chairman Gao Yijun personally to the company.

This old man plays a truly clever game.

Indeed, nothing new about the ploy.

In two years, there’ll be a more renowned, sensational, widespread classic case.
