An unexpected person whom Xu Jingsong couldn't imagine... appeared at the door!

"Gao Yuan?!"

Xu Jingsong looked at the figure entering the meeting room with shock.

"Haha! Everyone's here, it's quite lively."

Surrounded by bodyguards and Lin Haitang, the sharply dressed Gao Yuan, without even glancing at Xu Jingsong, set her eyes on Xu Bonian at the head of the table and nodded with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Xu Jingsong asked angrily after he processed the situation.

"Where are the security guards? Are they all dead? How could such an important meeting allow an outsider to barge in! Are you guys trying to lose your jobs?"

However, amidst everyone's surprised glances, Xu Bolin calmly spoke up.

"What's all the shouting for? I invited her here. As a major shareholder of the Xu Group, Chairman Gao Yuan is certainly qualified to attend this meeting!"

"One of the shareholders?!" Xu Jingsong was completely baffled.

Then suddenly, as if realizing something, his face grew shocked.

"Are you saying... that the one secretly acquiring our shares was Gao Yuan?!"

At that instant, it was as if he understood everything, but disbelief still filled his face.

Her?!

How could it be her!

Wasn't it said that Gao Yuan's company was heavily in debt? How could she possess such great financial resources, to the point where even the powerful Qilin Club suffered a hidden loss under her hands?

More importantly... how dare she?!

It's no wonder that Xu Jingsong wasn't prepared for this; the scene was too surreal.

In his mind, their powers were still vastly unequal. Previously, he was always scheming against Gao Yuan, who could barely cope.

The idea that in such a short time, she silently struck their command center was unimaginable.

He couldn't fathom more than an attempt to sneak in, but now...

She was directly aiming to take over!

"Gao Yuan..."

Xu Bonian also looked at the increasingly imposing Gao Yuan with a complicated expression.

Who would have thought that the former daughter-in-law they kicked out would grow to this level of threat in such a short time...

"Chairman Xu, time is precious, and I'm not here to reminisce with anyone today."

Gao Yuan looked at Xu Bonian, "I am here with only one goal... to revoke all of Xu Jingsong's positions within the Xu Group!"

The powerful declaration caused an uproar in the room.

Xu Jingsong was so provoked that he glared angrily!

"Gao Yuan! This is the Xu Group's board meeting, not a place for an outsider like you to behave so recklessly!"

However, Gao Yuan merely cast him a light glance before refocusing on Xu Bonian.

"Chairman Xu, if I remember correctly, you are the person in charge here. What do you have to say about my request?"

Xu Bonian's face darkened.

"Gao Yuan, I admit you have skill, and your growth exceeded everyone's expectations, but Jingsong is right.

This is the Xu Group; it is not a place for anyone to act recklessly."

"So, you still want to fully support Xu Jingsong?"

"And what if I do?"

"If so, we don't mind changing the person in charge." Gao Yuan still wore a faint smile on her face.

Yet the words she spoke left everyone in shock.

What did she say?

She said she wanted to replace Chairman Xu Bonian?

"Bang!" Xu Jingsong slammed the table!

From the moment she entered, Gao Yuan's aloof demeanor, ignoring him entirely, deeply wounded his ego.

"Enough Gao Yuan, you're just a woman we kicked out from the Xu family. What right do you have to make grandiose statements in front of us?"

Gao Yuan did not respond much, but Lin Haitang behind her took out some documents from her briefcase and placed them on the meeting table.

"Everyone, here are notarized shareholding proofs, enough to demonstrate Chairman Gao's control of Wanwu Holding's shareholding in the Xu Group. Combined with Mr. Xu Bolin's shares, we hold absolute control in the board meetings.

...including appointing and dismissing the chairman!"

Xu Jingsong and his father's expressions changed.

Looking at Gao Yuan's confident smile, Xu Jingsong couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

Could it be that she really acquired enough shares on the market?

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

He flusteredly grabbed the documents, skimming through them hastily, but when his eyes landed on the ultimate shareholding percentage, he froze, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! I thought I was up against something formidable, but this is your confidence? 43% of the shares? Hahaha..."

Watching Xu Jingsong laugh boisterously, Xu Bolin couldn't help but frown.

Yes, with 43% of the shares together, they could easily overpower Xu Jingsong's side just a few days ago.

But now...

"Hahaha! Gao Yuan, don't you think you're rejoicing too soon?

Let me tell you, the shares we have now... total 45%!"

Xu Jingsong stifled his laughter, looking mockingly at Gao Yuan and her group.

The faces of Xu Bolin and his group changed drastically.

This sudden change was clearly unexpected, striking like a blow to their supposedly assured victory.

Even though the other side only increased their shares from 42% to 45%, just a mere 3% increase, as the available shares in the market dwindled, it became harder to acquire them.

If the market knew someone was trying to acquire the Xu Group, they might enter to drive up the stock price, infinitely increasing the acquisition cost for Gao Yuan's side.

Consequently, 45% against 43%, this mere 2% difference could become an insurmountable chasm, perhaps deciding their doomed outcome...

Xu Bolin felt a pang of regret, never imagining Xu Jingsong could turn the tables from such a dire situation.

Now he was on a tiger he couldn't easily dismount; in a full-face tear-off scene, should he return unsuccessful, he'd inevitably face a frenzied retaliation from Xu Jingsong, completely ousting him from the Xu Group's management.

This time... could he have bet on the wrong horse...

He anxiously looked towards Gao Yuan...

Yet what he saw was the same gentle smile on her face, unchanged from beginning to end.

"Mr. Xu, are you sure... that the shares in your hand are truly 45%?"

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, Gao Yuan's peculiar question left everyone in a daze.

Such a question, no matter how unreliable Xu Jingsong was, he couldn't possibly miscount his own shares, right?

How could such a simple mistake occur?

Yet seeing Gao Yuan's face filled with ridicule, everyone inexplicably felt a jolt in the heart.

Could there still be variables in this tug-of-war for shareholding control?

"What do you mean?" Xu Jingsong frowned, swiftly recalculating his own side's shares.

Xu Bonian 36%, Xu Jingsong 4%, Xu Jingfeng 2%, plus the 3% emergency stock they acquired these past two days...

No, it couldn't be wrong; their shares truly amounted to 45%!

However, just as he prepared to ridicule the other side for putting on an act, from an inconspicuous corner of the meeting room, a young man suddenly stood up, quietly placing a document atop Gao Yuan's faction's stack of shareholding proof...

Everyone stared at the young man in shock.

Xu Jingsong and Xu Bonian were utterly shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Jingfeng? What are you doing?!"

Indeed, this young man, who had always been invisible and lacked presence amongst the Xu family...

In Xu Jingsong's eyes, similar to a transparent figure, was none other than Ou Doudou... Xu Jingfeng!

Gao Yuan picked up the document and flung it in front of Xu Jingsong, a smile playing on her lips as she nodded towards him.

"Now, 45% belongs to us..."
