Chapter 642 - Finally! It is within his reach! (1/2)

There was a short silence in the room.

Guan Gao Hua's heart thumped.

He was anticipating the old man's answer.

Old Guan: ”I'll be rooting for you.”

Guan Gao Huan swallowed. ”You'll vote for me?”

”Yes.”

Guan Gao Huan felt that light finally entered his dark future.

His lifetime goal was finally within his reach!

However, his face did not show any relief, instead, he showed bitterness as he shook his head in disbelief.

”How can I believe you? What if you changed your mind?”

Guan Gao Huan did not want to give the old man any retreat!

Old Guan smiled weakly and gestured for his head butler.

The papers were about the transfer of shares and the voting transaction for the appointed day.

”This is the paper where we will sign our votes for our chosen candidate. I'll be writing your name.”

Old Guan weakly wrote Guan Gao Huan's name on the blank space. He also guaranteed it with his signature and stamp.

Guan Gao Huan swallowed.

He... he got it!

He got the old man's vote!

Old Guan then picked up the transfer of shares. ”I can't hand this to you yet. Once the appointed day comes, I will hand this to you if your votes overwhelm the majority. However, with the weight of my vote, I am sure that you will be able to get at least forty percent. Including your own shareholder support, that should be more than enough for you to secure your position.”

Guan Gao Huan hid his greed. It would be perfect if he could get his hands on the transfer of shares, but trying to get it all at once now, he might be seen as a greedy person.

He showed an expression of surprise as he spoke in a choking voice. ”Grandfather... You are willing to go this far... for me?”

”My third grandson, it's hard for me as a head to make this decision, especially after I stated that I will not be supporting any from the three of you. But as your grandfather who owed you a lot, it should be what I am doing.”

There was a long silence in the room. The old man and his third grandson let their own emotion settled in that silence.

Guan Gao Huan's eyes reddened and he lowered his head. ”Grandpa, this sincerity... is more than enough. I did not know that you will go this far for me. Grandpa, it is my dream to lead the Guan Empire. This empire is the one where grandpa devoted his entire life to. I promise that I will work hard and make you and my mother proud.”

Old Guan sighed, reached out, and hugged his third grandson. He closed his eyes.

The hesitation in his heart faded when his daughter was mentioned.

Yes, he did the right thing.

”I know. I trust you.”

Trust...

How long he longed for to get into this day...?

Guan Gao Huan smiled darkly in his grandfather's arms.

When Guan Gao Huan finally left, the head butler at the side bowed to the old man and finally stated his worries.

”How would Master explain this to the board and shareholders? Eldest Young Master Gu Ri and Second Young Master Xixin might take this against you, Master.”
