Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 47
Chapter 47
Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, only to see Jiwanching, dressed in a casual suit, standing straight in her wheelchair. Her hair was tied up, revealing her fair, swan-like neck. Cen Xia was behind her, pushing the wheelchair, slowly entering the room.
Cen Xia said, “Everyone here is a shareholder of the Ji Corporation, or a long-time partner. At this moment, on behalf of Ms. Jiwanching, who holds 40% of the Ji Corporation’s shares, I would like to announce a few things.”
“Twenty-three years ago, the chairman on this stage, Ji Teng, and his mistress, Shi Ranying, didn’t hesitate to use their own daughter as a threat to force the former chairperson, Ji Jinlan, to her death. The police have now reopened the investigation.”
“One year ago, the now legitimate chairman’s wife, Shi Ranying, in order to get the remaining 40% of the Ji Corporation’s shares, instructed her subordinates to secretly drug Jiwanching at her birthday party, causing Jiwanching to lose her voice. After that, she, as Jiwanching’s stepmother, used the excuse of treating Jiwanching to confine her to a hospital bed and constantly administered an IV drip without allowing her to use the restroom, resulting in kidney damage and incontinence. A lawsuit has now been formally filed and accepted by the court, and a hearing will be held soon.”
“Two months ago, Shi Ranying hired someone to ambush Jiwanching in Alley 13 of South Street. The assailant has confessed and been brought to justice. Three weeks ago, she again attempted to hire a hit-and-run driver to attack Jiwanching’s nanny car. The relevant people involved are now under investigation.”
“Furthermore, all the negative online rumors about Jiwanching, including the trouble caused by Gu Ling’s family and the dismissal of Butler Song, were orchestrated by her. The police have confirmed this.”
“And just a few minutes ago, the Ji Corporation’s shareholder, Jiwanching, came to attend the shareholders’ meeting. Shi Ranying secretly played a trick, attempting to block her on the road with a rear-end collision. But unfortunately, the nanny car she hit was carrying Officer Zhang Yi and his wife from the police department. The relevant authorities have now officially launched an investigation.”
“This goes to show that the current chairman of the Ji Corporation and his wife are not worthy of their positions!”
“Furthermore, the future heir of the Ji Corporation was already designated by the previous chairperson, Ji Jinlan, 23 years ago. Jiwanching held 40% of the shares when she was six years old. Because she was so young, the company was managed by her father, Ji Teng. Now, in order to embezzle the Ji Corporation, he has no shame and is willing to wear a cuckold’s hat and support an outsider. For the future of the Ji Corporation, I urge all shareholders to consider this carefully!”
Cen Xia’s words were powerful and resonant, one after another, leaving the meeting room in stunned silence.
On the stage, Ji Teng flew into a rage and roared in their direction, “Where did this crazy person come from? When did it become your turn to dictate what happens in my Ji Corporation? Get out!”
Cen Xia continued pushing Jiwanching’s wheelchair forward.
Ji Teng gesticulated wildly and yelled, “Security? Where’s the security?”
After a long while, a few uniformed staff members came over.
Jiwanching’s presence instantly became commanding. Her sharp eyes scanned the surroundings. None of the burly young men dared to move.
“Throw them out! What are you all doing?!”
Ji Teng, like a mad dog, lunged forward with the microphone.
The audience below also stood up. Jiang He stood side by side with Tang Shaoyun. She jumped over the front table in her suit. “Chairman Ji, what are you trying to do, in broad daylight?!”
Cen Xia stood by Jiwanching’s side, completely fearless.
Ji Teng was less than a meter away from her. Jiang He was just a few steps behind him.
Jiwanching’s wheelchair rolled forward, blocking Cen Xia. She looked at her biological father, her cold eyes as sharp as a scimitar.
Just then, Officer Zhang Yi and his team rushed in from outside. “Police! We’re on a case!”
He showed his badge. “Mr. Ji Teng? You and your wife, Shi Ranying, are suspected of a bizarre traffic accident from 23 years ago. We request that you come to the police station with us to assist in the investigation!”
Ji Teng looked at Cen Xia with bloodshot eyes. Zhang Yi stepped forward, shielding the two of them. “Mr. Ji, please come with me to the police station for questioning!”
The other police officers walked toward Shi Ranying.
Afterward, the chairman and the chairman’s wife were taken away by Zhang Yi and his team. Jiang He gave Cen Xia a meaningful look. It was only when she returned to her seat that she realized how impulsive her behavior had been, but thankfully, the shocking news outweighed her action of jumping over the table. Everyone just assumed she was a hero and didn’t pay much attention to it.
The people in the meeting room started to whisper to each other. Most of the older generation were expressing their sympathy for Ji Jinlan and lamenting Jiwanching’s fate. Some others, with ulterior motives, were using the Ji couple’s evil deeds to secure their own future.
While they were scolding the chairman for being inhumane, they also pointed their fingers at Ji Yanqing, who was a temporary heir, and mocked her.
“Heh, we didn’t know when it became a mistress’s turn to be in charge of the Ji Corporation. Does she even deserve to be the future person in charge?”
“Yeah, the internet was right. When the tiger is away, the monkeys act like kings. Her mother did such a thing, I feel disgusted for her!”
“Have they no shame, all for power and profit? She has no capability, and all she has is a bad temper and a dark heart! Ji Jinlan may be gone, but we old-timers are still here!”
“Some people really have the nerve to stay here!”
…
Suddenly, everyone’s anger seemed to be directed at her.
Over there, Jiwanching’s gaze passed by for a moment. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally rolled her wheelchair toward her. Cen Xia was behind her.
Ji Yanqing looked at them in a daze. Unconsciously, she had bitten several places inside her mouth. The intense pain pricked her numb nerves. The insults kept pouring into her ears, and her head was buzzing.
The assistant next to her, Xiao Wu, called out, “Miss, let’s go outside!”
Ji Yanqing came to her senses and stood up slowly before Jiwanching could get close. Her arrogant eyes turned to look at the people who were scolding her. She laughed softly, then picked up a thermos cup from a table and poured the contents over the head of one of them.
The scalding hot water poured down his neck. The obese man who was speaking screamed in pain, looked up, and glared at her with bloodshot eyes.
Ji Yanqing’s lips were stretched into a smile. She aimed for his face and slapped him. She sneered, “Who do you think you are, daring to yell at me here?”
She had some of Shi Ranying’s ruthlessness in her bones. At this moment, she questioned the man several times.
“Does a mistress’s child not deserve to live in this world? When my mother was in charge, I saw you scumbags licking her the most. Now that she’s in jail, you’ve turned around to lecture me. Where do you get the nerve? Hmm?”
The man was furious. He clenched his fist and swung it. Xiao Wu single-handedly twisted his arm and shoved him backward, making him fall to the ground.
Cen Xia’s movement of pushing the wheelchair paused. She looked down and asked Jiwanching softly, “Sister, should we help?”
Jiwanching didn’t say anything. The two of them watched from a short distance.
A moment later, someone stepped in to break up the fight. Ji Yanqing gave Cen Xia and the others a cold look, then gave Xiao Wu a signal, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.
She strode outside. When she got to Jiwanching, she paused, a deep hatred flashing in her eyes, then she walked away.
Jiwanching’s eyes were expressionless. After that, she looked up and her cold gaze swept over the messy group of people.
Tang Shaoyun walked up to her. “General Manager Ji!”
The people looked over at the sound of his voice and were stunned by her icy stare.
At this moment, Lin Yiran from the Southeast Coastal Hotel Department stood up.
“Everyone, please be quiet. Listen to me for a moment!”
He was one of the people who had followed Ji Jinlan for the longest time and was now over sixty. He had been highly respected when he was young, and now with his financial strength, he naturally had a lot of influence.
Lin Yiran looked at Jiwanching and nodded. He said, “Since Jinlan left 40% of the Ji Corporation’s shares to Wanqing before she passed away, and now the Ji Corporation is without a leader, as one of the older shareholders of the Ji Corporation, I am willing to support her decision and give the younger generation a chance to prove themselves!”
After he finished, the meeting room was silent for a moment. A few old foxes who were calculating their own interests were about to speak, but Zheng Chengchao from the Business Travel Management Department was quicker. He stood up and expressed his support.
“I agree. Putting aside the mother-daughter relationship between Jinlan and Jiwanching, I had some business contact with this young lady a few years ago. She is extremely capable. I’m very confident in leaving the Ji Corporation in her hands!”
Zheng Chengchao was a leader with strong execution skills. His work was decisive and ruthless. Everyone in the Ji Corporation knew about his capabilities. Shi Ranying had wanted to remove him years ago but could never find an opportunity. At a time like this, his endorsement of Jiwanching’s abilities truly silenced those with ill intentions.
Despite this, some people who were not afraid of death still came out to question her.
“But Manager Zheng, no matter how capable Miss Ji is, her physical condition can’t handle such high-intensity work, can it? Shouldn’t she focus on getting better first before making any plans?”
Across from him, Pan Hao stood up directly. His personality was already uninhibited, and he had become even more so in the Northwest over the years. His insults came out effortlessly. “Running a company depends on intelligence, not physical strength. You’re so big and you’ve been climbing for so many years, and you’re still just a flunky, aren’t you?”
Everyone heard him and struggled to hold back their laughter.
The guy’s face turned red as he looked at him.
Pan Hao said, “What? Is there a problem with what I said? Jiwanching holds 40% of the shares. Zhicheng Technology, a subsidiary, was created by her. The Ji Corporation’s core data all depends on it. If the Ji Corporation is not handed over to her, should it be handed over to you?”
The person didn’t say anything.
Pan Hao said again, “Even if it were handed over to you, can you really fill the huge hole in the Ji Corporation right now?”
At the same time, he scanned the entire room, regardless of how many partners were present, and revealed the truth. “The Ji Corporation has lost over 2.4 billion yuan in three years. Now it’s just an empty shell, facing the risk of being delisted at any time. If any of you here are capable of bearing this burden, you can step up and try. As one of the shareholders, I, Pan Hao, will be the first to support you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the small shareholders below started to stir.
The partners also started to murmur. When Jiang He had privately messaged them about the Ji Corporation’s current situation, they didn’t believe her. Now that a shareholder had confessed to it, everyone started to complain.
Suddenly, the meeting room became a noisy and chaotic scene.
Jiwanching gave Tang Shaoyun a look.
Tang Shaoyun returned to his seat, picked up his laptop, and walked onto the stage. He connected to the projector and yelled into the microphone, “Everyone, please be quiet! Look at the screen!”
A minute later, the noise gradually died down. Everyone looked toward the source of the sound.
On the screen, in a tech-blue font, a line of text was clearly displayed: “Strategies to Address the Ji Corporation’s Crisis.”
Jiwanching rolled her wheelchair onto the stage.
