“Madam Xie, don’t worry. Director Xie is probably old enough to make his own decisions. He doesn’t even care about his parents anymore. This time, I will support you with all my strength,” Xu Zhentian promised Madam Xie in a low voice, the smile on his face was a little strange. He didn’t know why the Xie family had suddenly become like this. However, Xie Guofu wasn’t dead yet. Even if he had any thoughts, he couldn’t go against Madam Xie on such a small matter.

In fact, it was useless even if Xu Zhentian did the opposite. That was because the two to three votes he controlled would not affect the overall situation. The so-called complete control of the board of directors referred to the control of more than two-thirds of the seats on the board of directors. If a major decision was passed by more than two-thirds of the votes, then by controlling two-thirds of the seats, he would be able to completely control the board of directors.

Madam Xie also understood this point. If she wanted to win, it would be very easy. However, she wanted to win thoroughly. She wanted to make sure that Xie Wenkai did not have a single vote! Therefore, she opened her mouth to Xu Zhentian. On the other hand, Xu Zhentian would be doing her a favor.

“Then, I’ll be counting on you.” Madam Xie was more polite to Xu Zhentian. She chuckled softly and said, “When my husband, Xie Guofu, comes back, let’s have a meal together. It’s been a long time since we had a meal together. There are some things that we need to talk about.” Madam Xie’s words had a hidden meaning. Xu Zhentian smiled and nodded without saying anything else. The two of them finished their conversation and walked to different seats in the meeting room by the window.

“Everyone is almost here. Close the door.” Madam Xie raised her arm and ordered her assistant in an imposing manner. Then, she walked to the table. The nearby director pulled out a chair for her, and Madam Xie took the opportunity to sit down.

“Let’s begin,” Madam Xie said again. She shouldn’t have said this. She wasn’t a director, so she could at most be considered an observer at the meeting. However, when she said that it was time to begin, everyone wouldn’t have any objections.

“I think everyone here has heard what the urgent board meeting is about,” Xie Wenkai said directly. As he spoke, he stood up. Madam Xie looked at him expressionlessly.

The Six Blessings Corporation had a total of nineteen directors, including three independent directors. Independent directors referred to directors who did not hold shares in the Six Blessings Corporation and did not directly have business connections with the company. The prerequisite to becoming an independent director was that they could not have any connections to the company so they could participate in the voting of the resolution more fairly. Independent directors were usually an important task for other giant enterprises. They had excellent abilities, a good reputation, and a very high social status. There were also situations where the investors were sent over.

Although the directors were chosen by the shareholders’ meeting, the voting rights at the shareholders’ meeting were determined according to the shareholding ratio. Therefore, as long as the major shareholders of the group agreed, they would definitely be able to let the other party’s candidate be chosen. Although the investors and the Six Blessings Corporation were linked, they would not have any business dealings with each other, their business would also not have any entanglement with the Six Blessings Corporation’s business. They only raised funds for the Six Blessings Corporation back then. They would not interfere with the operation of the company, and they would not be able to interfere with the management of the company. As for the directors that they had sent over, they would definitely hope for the Six Blessings Corporation to run well. Only if they managed the company well would the value of their shares in the Six Blessings Corporation be high. Because of these reasons, the directors that they had appointed would definitely be fair and just for the benefit of the company!

Now that more than two-thirds of the directors were present, they could hold a board meeting.

“Originally, this was just a small matter.” Xie Wenkai’s tone was very serious. His gaze was even a little sharp. He had locked himself in his office for a few hours before the meeting started to keep his emotions in check. For this moment, he had to do his best! He looked at the directors present and said, “If I fire two middle-level managers, there’s no need for it to go to the board of directors. As the executive vice president, I have the right to fire people directly. If there are serious consequences, I can also accept the board of directors’ doubts afterward!” Xie Wenkai softened his voice and he looked at Madam Xie. He said, “However, since the Chairman’s Special Adviser has an opinion on how I handle this issue, then this board meeting was held for everyone to vote on it.”

Madam Xie’s expression changed. Although it was fine for Xie Wenkai to address her in such a formal setting, was he still her obedient son from before? The corners of Madam Xie’s mouth curled up into a cold smile. Fine, then she was going to make a scene. The bigger the better. After the board voting was over, she wanted to see how Xie Wenkai would continue to make a scene! Madam Xie loved Xie Wenkai very much. However, the more she loved him, the angrier she became at Xie Wenkai for daring to oppose her. Madam Xie made up her mind to give Xie Wenkai a good lesson today!
