Chapter 58: The Arrogant Shareholders
They all looked at the middle-aged man in the first row. He held the most shares among them. Although it was only 5%, he had always been their central figure.
The middle-aged man had just been mocked by Song Nuanyi and his expression was a little ugly. When he saw that the shareholders were all intimidated by this little girl, he looked at them with disdain. They wanted big money, but they were all so timid. They were really useless.
He said, “I think it’s illegal for you to ask us to withdraw our shares.”
His words reminded the shareholders that as long as they were unwilling to sell, Song Nuanyi would not be able to forcefully take back their shares.
In an instant, they were full of confidence again.
Song Nuanyi had long expected them to say this and signaled them to continue reading the documents. She said, “The other document in your hands is the amount of dividends that you have taken from the Song Empire over the years. This amount is seriously inconsistent with the shares that you have in the Song Empire. This money is taken from the share dividends account, so I have reason to suspect that you have embezzled the company’s funds. This amount can send you to jail.”
Her eyes were cold. These shareholders were like parasites when the Song Empire was strong. They were the first to jump out and stomp on the Song Empire when there was a problem. These people were really disgusting. She wanted them to spit out everything they had taken from Song Empire.
“I remember that your name is Wang Shaohua. These people seem to listen to you. Do you think I will suspect that you are the main person in charge of this case of embezzlement of funds?” Song Nuanyi threw the question to the middle-aged man.
Wang Shaohua’s face tensed up. He looked at the shareholders who were trembling with their heads lowered, then looked at Song Nuanyi who was sitting on top. He gritted his teeth and said, “I really underestimated you. However, this money was given to us by Elder Song.”
“Is that so? But in the company’s accounts, this money is a dividend. Do you have any evidence that this money was a gift to you by my father?” She deliberately emphasized the word ‘gift’.
Wang Shaohua looked through the documents in his hands in frustration. He could not find a single mistake. Damn it! They had been tricked by this girl.
Song Nuanyi sat on top of them and looked down at their distressed looks. These people used to hold shareholder meetings to threaten their father to give them money. They did not expect that one day they would fall for this.
Wang Shaohua let go of the crumpled documents in his hands and looked up at Song Nuanyi. His tone was not as firm as before. Finally, he softened a little and said, “Niece Song, there’s no need for things to be so tense between us. When you were young, we even hugged you. This time, when the Song Family was in trouble, we were also very worried. We held this shareholders’ meeting just to show our concern and see if there’s anything we can help with. There’s no other meaning.”
“That’s right, Niece Song. If there’s anything we can help with, you must tell us. We will definitely help.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Just tell us.”
They all said nice things one by one, their eyes full of flattery.
Song Nuanyi was not surprised by their change. She just felt that it was a little ironic. Back then, her father had been so good to them. He gave them money, he gave them connections, and yet he could not get them to say nice things in return. It seemed that one could not be too kind, or else people would think that they were fools and bully them.
“Sure. I just happen to have a favor to ask you guys.” A smile bloomed on Song Nuanyi’s face. This was the first smile she had since she entered the room.
Wang Shaohua and the others looked at each other. They were all wondering the same thing.
Song Nuanyi once again signaled Assistant Chen who was standing behind her. Assistant Chen handed over a new document.
“I still need you to sign this document,” Song Nuanyi said with a smile.
However, the shareholders could not smile anymore. This document was a share transfer agreement. Once they signed it, they would no longer be shareholders of Song Empire, even though their shares were very low, however, they could still receive dividends from Song Empire ranging from millions to tens of millions every year. In addition to the extra money that Elder Song gave them from time to time, they were all very rich. However, because the money came too easily, they spent it without restraint. As a result, they did not have a single cent of their savings.
