Chapter 63 - Reveal The Votes (1/2)
As the argument between Zhao Wei and Li Ming Hao intensified, Li Ren Xin, as the chairman of QL Group finally snapped and banged his palm on top of the table twice.
Immediately, the room turned quiet. Everyone could see the anger in Chairman Li's eyes. Though he had passed most of his authority to the President, Li Mu Bai, and had rarely shown up at the company, there was no denying that everyone in the room still feared and respected him. After all, Li Ren Xin was the one who started up and built up the company to where they are now.
”Alright,” Li Mu Bai spoke and killed off the tension in the room. ”Since both of you wanted the project, then we'll resolve this the way we usually do. We'll vote.”
From where she was seated, Li Qin Yao continued to observe everyone in the room.
Zhao Wei's lips tugged into a small smile, while Li Ming Han had a displeased look on his face. Li Ming Han then tore his gaze away from Zhao Wei and turned to Li Qin Yao with a dubious gaze.
It was then that Li Qin Yao understood why Li Ming Han had look for her earlier. Li Ming Han had predicted that the argument with their aunt will reach to this point.
On the other side of the table, Li Mu Bai massaged his forehead as she gave his mother a warning look when no one was looking. Zhao Wei looked away in guilt and turned to her daughter with a smile.
Before the voting began, Li Mu Bai made another announcement. Because Li Mu Chen is his sister, he refrained from voting. Zhao Wei looked at her son and smiled. It seemed that she had calculated that Li Mu Bai will abstain from voting this time. However, the confident smile on her face did not fade away. As someone who had been in the company for years, of course, Zhao Wei came prepared.
Because everything was computerized, the voting began and ended quickly. Once the result was revealed, both Zhao Wei and Li Mu Chen's face turned ugly, while Li Ming Han had a surprised look on his face. Li Ming Han had won with three percent more votes.
Seeing the result, Li Ming Han turned his head to look at Li Qin Yao. He tilted down his head and slowly, his lips curved into a smile.
Zhao Wei stood up from her seat as she looked at the staff who stood behind the computer at the front. ”Are you sure this is not a mistake?”
Upon meeting Zhao Wei's furious look, the staff scrambled to check on the data on the computer. Then, with a slightly shaky voice, he reported back. ”No there was no mistake in the data.”
A flash of light passed through Zhao Wei's eyes. She then looked at the shareholders as she wondered if one of her supporters had betrayed her.
”If Manager Zhao Wei thinks that there was a mistake in the result, then perhaps, you should reveal the votes to the board,” Li Ming Han suggested.
”Very well,” Li Ren Xin spoke up before Zhao Wei could say anything. ”Let's not waste time. Reveal them.”
”Yes, Chairman Li,” the staff nodded. He worked on the computer and soon, the voting result was projected on the big screen.
