Chapter 543: Becoming the New Acting President
"Uncles, this is the internet age. Meetings don’t necessarily require everyone to be present in person; having Wi-Fi is enough."The two uncles were still trying to grasp Ji Wei’s meaning when she snapped her fingers at Mary, who stood by the computer.
Mary’s fingers flew across the keyboard.
Soon, the projection screen at the front displayed the live video feed of the meeting room.
To streamline operations, all Ji Family employees had a work app installed on their phones. At the same moment, everyone’s phones popped up with the live meeting footage.
This was practically a shareholder meeting livestreamed to the entire staff!
"As you both are aware, my father has been missing for some time now. The Ji Family is currently leaderless, and if things continue this way, it won’t be sustainable. So, as an unworthy daughter, I hereby take the liberty to voluntarily introduce myself as a candidate for acting president."
Ji Wei looked directly at the camera with a faint smile and began speaking. Since others were scheming to use the election of the acting president as a chance to seize power, she decided to act first and cut off their plan!
As soon as she finished speaking, the meeting room fell into complete silence.
Ji Wei calmly directed her gaze at the two shareholders. "Uncles, you’ve both watched me grow up, and I remember my father had the closest relationship with you two. Surely, you wouldn’t want to see the fruits of his life’s work go to waste, right?"
President Zhao and President Zhong tugged stiffly at their lips, forcing out awkward smiles. Latest content publıshed on novel~fire~net
Right now, they felt as though they’d boarded a tiger they couldn’t dismount.
If they had known it would come to this, they’d have simply stayed away.
Ji Wei continued to smile warmly. "So, I trust my dear uncles will support me and cast your votes for me. Isn’t that right?"
President Zhao and President Zhong exchanged glances.
They had attended the meeting intending to align with the shifting winds, but never expected Ji Wei to stage a meeting livestream. Now, everyone was watching their every move through their phones.
If they chose not to express support, they would inevitably earn the reputation of being disloyal and ungrateful.
"Y-yes..." President Zhao said stiffly.
President Zhong nodded reluctantly.
"Good! Then let’s proceed to the voting." Ji Wei spoke as she was the first to raise her hand. "My father holds more than 30% of the shares, and I am voting on his behalf in favor."
Then, she smiled faintly again, looking toward the two shareholders.
The pair, caught off guard, could only swallow their reluctance and raise their hands one after the other.
"I vote in favor."
"I vote in favor, too."
Ji Wei smiled in satisfaction. "Great—now we have three votes in favor. Next—" She paused, then suddenly turned to Chen Ke beside her, saying, "I invite the next shareholder to cast their vote."
Chen Ke smiled as he raised his hand. "I represent another Ji Family shareholder, who holds 25% of the shares, in voting for Miss Ji to become acting president."
President Zhao’s eyes widened. He blurted out, "Who—who are you representing?"
Chen Ke replied with a smile, "President Zhao, aren’t you aware? A few days ago, Mr. Gu already acquired the shares held by five of the Ji Family shareholders."
The two shareholders were stunned, their faces showing utter shock and disbelief.
If that’s the case, then whether the others attended or not no longer mattered. Because those holding more than 65% of the shares have all voted in favor.
Which meant—
"The results are now clear." Ji Wei maintained an understated smile. From the moment she stepped into the meeting room, she hadn’t shown a hint of panic or unease—she was evidently full of confidence.
Facing the camera directly, she spoke one word at a time, deliberately and calmly: "From here on out, I will assume the position of acting president. I look forward to the guidance and support of my elders and colleagues."
