Duan Houyue, although he had already reached an agreement with Xia Zhenglang, really couldn't find a way to help his son pay off the huge gambling debts and could only agree to Gu Nanchen's demands unwillingly.
With that, the number of votes Gu Nanchen received surpassed Xia Zhenglang's, and Gu Nanchen taking the chairman's seat was now without any doubt.
Xia Zhenglang had absolutely no idea that Duan Houyue, who had already agreed on terms with him, would be turned by someone else.
On the day of the shareholders' meeting, he was full of confidence, thinking the chairman's position was within easy reach.
He had been waiting for this day for so long that he had almost lost hope, and surprisingly, the heavens seemed to have opened their eyes, as Gu Zhenhua, the incumbent chairman, fell ill.
This vacated the chairman's position just for him, giving him the opportunity; he knew Gu Nanchen was scheming behind the scenes.
